Chapter 858: To the Central Continent
Sam took the Space gate association members to the Feathered Planet with the Dimensional Drifter.
Their first job is to create a formation here which connects the formation in the tempest valley. Along with them, he also brought some Architects, miners, and farmers who are going to work on the new lands of the Feathered Planet. But the most active of them are now going to be the combat teams.
They are the ones going to work with the feathered here and clear some of the beast-infested habitats so that they can work on that.
First targets a spirit stone mine near the central temple and a special metal mine.
After this is complete, they will be working on fertile land nearby. While the combat teams are working, the architects are constructing a special space for the Space gates.
Sam left them there to deal with the things. The six monarchs already started work before Sam came. Because of Nike, they were never allowed to deal with this route. It is even dangerous for Transcendent stage cultivators. But now it can be dealt with.
Particularly, the Wights are so happy. They are having a feast of these trees that are present here for hundreds of years. They would probably reach to Consummate level by the end of the whole operation.
That is the advantage of the undead creatures, they don't have bottlenecks or cultivation hurdles, the only problem is the time taken for digestion of the resources and find those resources to begin with. That is the reason they were locked in such a realm so that they wouldn't find resources easily.
At least, they have glaring weaknesses so that they wouldn't turn too dangerous.
After settling the tasks here, Sam went back to Desolate Planet.
He heard that the Dimensional Crossers are activated, he wanted to see if Donner came back to this place. He is in no hurry to kill that guy, but he doesn't want him to use the Thunderbolt sect's power to create problems here.
He informed the people he had in the thunderbolt sect's territory. It turned out that he didn't come back after that.
Every other player returned to desolate. For some reason, the gods seemed to have pitied them as they granted access to them to the desolate again. This is like a home to all of them after all.
Sam then went to meet the trio. It is about time, they are gone.
They met together in a room to have one last meal.
"At first, I wanted you guys to meet me when we are at the Consummate stage, but now I changed my mind.
I want you guys to develop. I am leaving you in realms that I am not interested in developing. The realms I am going to target for now are all the realms that have no contact with the god-level figures. Most of them are just aware of their existence but they don't have blind faith and religion.
After finishing the when the development grows and spreads I will reach the areas under the control of gods where the faith and religions already exist.
But the three realms I am sending to are connected to the higher realms which have a religion that I don't want to butt heads with. I don't want to have too many dealings with the races in those realms too. They make good soldiers, but they don't have other skills that are I am really fond of for developing the organization.
So, we are not going there anytime soon and those are the places you three are going to start your journey in.
You don't have to develop businesses, mercenaries, soldiers, or anything. You don't have to develop anything for me. All you have to do is find ways to develop yourself.
Get strong, fight battles, make enemies, make new friends, fall in love a few times, break some hearts, break your own heart, do whatever you want.
But all these three realms are connected to one particular realm which Old beast told about me. This realm is not even visible in the Dimensional drifter.
Your final goal is to go to that realm. No matter how many years it would take, even if it takes decades, you are going to come there and if you are early and came before me, wait there. If you are late, you would be hearing my name there, so you can come and find me.
But before all that. I have something for you."
Sam took out three circular crystal tokens and gave one for each of them. The crystals are grey in color and they have some weird energy all over them.
"This is something I got from the gods above. This is an additional accessory for the dimensional drifter. You make a blood contract with them and keep them on you, I will be able to get some rough location of yours. Even if not exact coordinates, I would be able to trace your location within the range of hundred kilometers no matter where you are.
But that is not the only function for that.
You can also use it for something else. But you can only use it for that three times.
You can send a message to me in case of emergencies. You can only record a message for three minutes and I would get the message within an hour you sent that. If you are in an extreme situation where you couldn't do anything but choose to die, then send me this message and try to buy as much time as you can.
I will come and find you."
Sam explained many things to them and also gave many treasures he had on him. He even gave them some transference scrolls he got from the recent Palace of inheritance and the previous one.
Formation discs, grenades, medical supplies, everything was stocked.
After giving everything to them, four of them went back to the tower from which Sam started taking them to their respective locations.
After dropping in the three realms that were decided on before, Sam came back and felt a little lost.
But he didn't stop his actions. Instead, he sped up. He met with Arkiv and spoke with him.
"When are you going to the central continent?"
"A few months from now, why?"
"Come to me before you go there."
With that, he went to meet Sirona.
"I have a project in mind. I want your cooperation though."
"What is it?"
Sam started explaining the project. It is the new puppet project. But it is not just about making puppets. If this works, Sam would have a robot army at his disposal.
This is his next big project apart from the expansion.
This would dwarf all kinds of puppetry he has known and it can compete with high level puppetry.
Sirona looked shocked. This is the first genuine and proper emotion she has shown to him in a while.
"How did you even get this thought?" She asked him in shock as she looked at the blueprints in Sam's hands.
"It doesn't matter, does it? I will be exploring the central continent for the beasts in a few days. Before that, I would like to figure out a general framework. I want you to help me. Nobody is smart enough to understand and keep up with my thought process in research here."
"I am in."
With that, the two of them started the research. Even though they are researching together, both of them have their own tasks to complete. Sam only met with her when he needed a different perspective on his tasks.
Most of the time, he stayed within the divine dimension. It would be too much of a waste of time to stay outside in this long research. But he also took ten times the work of Sirona.
After constant workings, they finally had the breakthrough. The rest of the work is secondary and now they had to do the tests.
This framework Sam designed works with the help of the vines he got from the Charbhum realm.
Combining this with the puppets and using a decently high-grade metal suitable for the weapons of Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, the puppets would be as good as Pre-transcendent stage cultivators. It would be an army of them. An army that can be produced as long as they have metal.
And this is only temporary because the next step after the metal is produced is the genetic improvement of the vines so that they could suitable for higher-level puppets.
But that has to be on hold for now.
After the framework is achieved, Sam met with Arkiv and entered the Central Continent. The continent is richest in resources but ruled by the beasts. It is about time he got his hands on the things this continent has to offer.
"Where are we going first?"
Arkiv asked Sam.
"Sky has some old debts to repay. So, let us go there first."
