Chapter 1729 Creation of the Heavens!
"Don't cry, Arost."
The burly Gobelin, covered in stripes of scarlet tattoos and resembling a pirate captain, curled his lip in disdain and spoke up to remind him:
"She's already gone, no matter how loudly you cry, she won't hear you."
"I couldn't control my emotions for a moment. You wouldn't understand, you brute." Aros wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, his reluctant expression quickly returning to normal.
"Tch, crying like a girl. We'll be heading to the outside world soon, and when we meet again, it'll only be a hundred cosmic hours."
"Once the super-giant transport device 'Opening the Heavens' is successfully operational, we, Gobelins, will be free to roam both the Demon Realm and the real world!"
"As long as you, Arost, live long enough, you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet Sun Ying."
“That makes sense,” Arost said somewhat insincerely, then asked:
"By the way, how's the 'Creation of Heaven' progressing?"
"They've already been deployed to the real world in batches, and so far, all components are functioning normally," Kratos replied truthfully.
"Once the final checks are completed, it can be assembled into the final megastructure."
"His Majesty the Emperor has been paying close attention to this matter and has devoted a lot of effort to it. I believe it will be successful."
"Have you prepared a backup plan?" Arost didn't echo Kratos's words, but simply asked:
"Nearly a thousand large-scale interdimensional teleportation arrays have been prepared, each with an instantaneous teleportation capacity of five million people, and they are ready to be activated at any time," Kratos replied confidently.
Even if the "Opening Heaven" plan fails, our soldiers will be able to reach the designated battlefield immediately!
"And what about when you come back?" Arost's smile had vanished, and his eyes had turned cold.
"Is there no return travel plan?"
"Uh..." Kratos was stumped by the question and was momentarily speechless.
"His Majesty the Emperor's 'Creation of Heaven' project is a project that allows for both entry and return," Arost turned to Kratos, staring into his eyes, and asked, enunciating each word clearly:
"And your backup plan, the large-scale interdimensional teleportation array, seems to be just a one-way ticket."
"If something unexpected happens, are you planning to send the soldiers out and never bring them back?"
“I…I believe His Majesty the Emperor’s ‘Opening Heaven’ plan will definitely succeed!” Kratos said, raising his voice unconsciously.
"His speech quickened, his voice unconsciously rose, and he was eager to argue..." Arost's eyes narrowed, a shrewd glint in them:
"You're panicking, Kratos. You have no confidence at all!"
"Your foolish loyalty and fanatical worship are utterly useless; that's not what His Majesty the Emperor wants!"
“I…I will do everything in my power to give His Majesty the Emperor anything he wants!” Kratos argued loudly.
“Trying your best is useless; you must promise.” Arost’s tone began to carry a dangerous undertone.
"I'll stake everything on this to guarantee it!"
“Yes! I guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will get whatever he wants!” Kratos responded loudly, but his body was already trembling.
Until Arost placed his hand on his shoulder and patted him lightly.
The trembling, which stemmed from fear, gradually subsided.
“Don’t blame me for being too harsh, Kratos,” Arost added calmly, his tone returning to its usual gentleness.
"This matter is of utmost importance, and His Majesty the Emperor has entrusted you with a crucial task. You must not make any mistakes..."
"Definitely, definitely!" Kratos's pupils trembled slightly as he nodded in promise...
In some unknown micro-universe.
As an insignificant tiny fraction of the countless realms that connect to the endless forest, the only characteristic of this micro-universe is its desolation.
It contains very few stars, and even fewer planets that can support life.
Despite the wave of revival sweeping across the entire realm, no player has yet emerged who meets the criteria to unlock the data panel.
Therefore, after careful investigation, Goebeling and his colleagues chose this site as the experimental operating location for the megastructure 'Creation'.
The Endless Forest was exceptionally unique, a fact that Gobelins and his companions had already deeply appreciated upon their first encounter with it.
Not only does it contain a wide variety of species, but it also boasts diverse mineral deposits and abundant resources.
Even some unseen 'rules' are different from those in the outside world.
Take the simplest example, 'forging'.
In the real world, even players with diamond-grade 'crafting' talents need to go through a series of complicated processes, such as heating metal, forging it, cooling and polishing it, to create a finished product.
The entire process requires player participation and cannot be replaced by machines.
It's quite troublesome.
But in the endless forest, the rules for this part of 'forging' are completely different.
As long as Gobelin concentrates his mind and pours his demonic energy into the material he wants to forge, the originally hard material will automatically soften and become like putty.
It doesn't get hot or generate heat, its weight becomes extremely light, and it can be easily changed to create any desired shape.
After forging is complete, all that is needed is to remove the demonic energy.
Softening lightweight materials will quickly restore their original properties, and may even make them better than before.
That's why Gobelins' infrastructure development went so smoothly, and even the lowest-grade equipment and props they wore were perfect.
After all, you can make equipment just by doing crafts and kneading clay.
If you really want to create a defective product, just inject some demonic energy and start over.
The "Opening Heaven" megastructure is a bold idea built on such special premises!
All the mechanical components were formed in one step in the endless forest, and then transported to the micro-universe in batches through the channels created by the Rift Dagger.
In this way, the manufacturing time of the megastructure can be significantly shortened, and the strength of each component can be greatly improved.
It can also reduce the consumption of Rift Stones for crafting Rift Daggers.
Although the number of Rift Stones in the center of the Endless Forest is sufficient, the proven reserves are enough for the Gobelins to use for several centuries.
But as Gobelin continued to explore the edge of the endless forest, they discovered a very terrifying fact—
In the endless forest, apart from the place where His Majesty the Emperor first landed where there was a Rift Stone, there was not a single piece of this purplish-black mineral anywhere else!
The Infinite Forest, with virtually unlimited resources, has a limited quantity of Rift Stones.
Once the Rift Stones are exhausted
Then the Gobelins will never be able to leave the Endless Forest, trapped in this strange space generation after generation, awaiting their ultimate fate of being deleted by the 'Forest of Rules'.
Therefore, the "Opening Heaven" plan came into being!
Firstly, it can reduce the consumption of Rift Stones;
Secondly, it would provide a safety net for the Goberling clan's future relocation.
