Chapter 644 - 546: Preparations Before the Battle
Chapter 644: Chapter 546: Preparations Before the Battle
Jeming sat at the desk, staring at the Magic Network Terminal for a while.
Only then did he calm down, and then slowly laughed out loud: "Looks like I’m pretty lucky..."
Jeming turned around and glanced at the scattered Memory Crystals on the desk.
Fate Foundation, Fate System, Information Processing Theory, Cause and Effect Models...
"Five years..." he said softly, "should be enough."
Jeming stood in place for a while, then strode out of the laboratory.
...
...
Outside, the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane was a scene of bustling activity.
Jeming stood at the laboratory door, looking out, seeing the busy Black Giants all over the crimson land.
Some of them were carrying huge stones, others were dragging heavy metal components, some were digging foundations, and some were constructing high towers.
The Black Giant Priests hovered in mid-air, waving their glowing Rune Staffs, directing the engineering below.
The entire Black Giant race was almost fully deployed, even the Black Giant Leader Melt Mountain had appeared.
Jeming looked up into the distance.
The colossal figure over 10,000 meters tall was walking towards them, each step causing the ground to shake lightly.
On Melt Mountain’s shoulder, he carried a massive stone pillar over 20,000 meters long, mined from the depths of a high-gravity plane, with extremely high density, suitable for constructing the core array eye of the Fate System.
Behind Melt Mountain was a group of Sixth Level Black Giants, each over a hundred meters tall.
They were also carrying various building materials, forming a neat line, advancing under the Black Giant Priests’ direction.
The scene was indescribably spectacular.
Jeming watched for a while before withdrawing his gaze.
He raised his hand to beckon, and a lead Black Giant Priest immediately descended from the sky and came before him.
"Master."
"How’s the progress of the project?" Jeming asked.
The Black Giant Priest unfolded the Record Crystal in his hand, quickly scanning: "Eighty percent of the main structure is completed. The laying progress of the energy nodes is somewhat slower, about forty-five percent, but the preliminary work is ready, and the speed will gradually increase. Overall, it will take about three more years to complete the preliminary construction of the Fate System."
Jeming nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, what they were building was the Fate System of the Incense Fire Divine Dao.
Although Jeming still hadn’t truly mastered the knowledge related to Fate—that stuff was just too difficult—it didn’t prevent him from setting up the hardware first.
Over the years, he had transformed the Purgatory Sulfur Plane into something far from its originally barren, scorching state.
Rich Spiritual Qi permeated every inch of air, and the energy network across the plane was interconnected, with various functional modules stacked layer upon layer.
Though Jeming couldn’t conduct an in-depth core "enhancement transformation" on the Fate System, he could certainly create a basic version by following the blueprint.
The blueprints were ready, the materials were prepared, and manpower was ample.
All that was left was time.
"Continue pushing forward, strive to increase the speed as much as possible. Later, we need to conduct activation tests and adjustments, all to be completed within five years, time is running out." Jeming said, "Report any situations immediately."
"Yes, Master."
The Black Giant Priest took the command and departed.
Jeming flew into the sky, checking the construction status of various arrays below.
After confirming there were no issues with the project, he briefly thought for a moment before turning and flying in another direction.
...
...
The warehouse district was located to the east of the core laboratory.
As time progressed, to store increasing quantities of materials, even with space expansion devices, the warehouses continued to grow.
The area they occupied also expanded, now forming a complex over 100,000 square kilometers.
Here lay all of Jeming’s thousand years of collections—from various mineral resources to rare materials, from biological samples to Energy Crystals, categorized neatly.
Jeming entered one of the warehouses, beginning his search.
Professor Clark did not disclose the specifics of that Plane’s situation, but since it was related to information technology, he had a general idea of the required materials.
Unquestionably, the most suitable were naturally materials that could influence information or were related to information.
Jeming walked through the warehouse, his gaze sweeping over rows of shelves filled with various arrays.
He first stopped in front of an array.
It was a circular array about three meters in diameter, with densely packed Runes on the ground and surrounding pillars.
In the center of the array, an intangible mist floated quietly, slowly spinning.
That was Red Dust Qi.
"Looks like you’ll have to come forward again this time." Jeming looked at it and couldn’t help but sigh.
Red Dust Qi, this stuff is truly versatile.
It’s useful for Artifact Refining, Alchemy, setting up arrays, and cultivation. No matter what, it always comes in handy.
He checked the state of the Sealing Array, confirming everything was normal, and continued to walk forward.
The next array stored Incense Fire Divine Power.
The denser golden light was flowing within the array like a living thing, occasionally forming various shapes before quickly dispersing.
Jeming checked the reserve of Incense Fire Divine Power through the light screen beside him, nodded in satisfaction.
Then, without hesitation, he extracted all the stock and stored it in his Inner Grotto Heaven.
He suddenly turned direction, continuing deeper into the warehouse.
Soon, he arrived at the area specifically overseeing dangerous materials.
Red Dust Poison.
Evil Qi.
Cause and Effect Entanglement Silk.
Information Disruption Fragment.
...
Jeming walked and watched, inspecting all the information-related materials in the warehouse.
He stopped in front of an array storing Red Dust Poison, looking at the twisted colored mist inside, deep in thought.
Though this stuff is quite destructive, previous coordination wars among Wizards proved how effective this stuff can be if utilized well.
Based on the wartime intelligence obtained post-war, the Seventh Level Wizard and the two Sixth Level Wizards whom he had tricked with the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier hadn’t recovered until the war ended.
"But how to use it exactly still needs consideration..."
Jeming made a note on the Record Crystal.
He moved to another array, observing the stored Evil Qi, marking it as well.
After making a round, his Record Crystal was densely filled with a list of required materials.
Jeming walked out of the warehouse, glancing back at the heavy door.
"With so many materials, it should be almost enough." Jeming pondered, rubbing his chin, "But the usage methods of various materials need to be deliberated. Once the Fate System is debugged, it should be about time to take action."
He turned, heading towards the laboratory.
In the distance, Melt Mountain carried another massive stone pillar, slowly moving towards the direction of the array eye under the Priests’ guidance.
