Chapter 176: Fragments of the Kingdom of God
But then again, no matter whether the price was true or not, Li Qing was still grateful in his heart. Under normal circumstances, he would not have the opportunity to get such a good thing.
To put it bluntly, these divine graces and more than 20 billion in funding are additional gains, which are already very good, so there is no right to complain about them.
As for the remaining 15 billion of funds, Li Qing spent a huge amount of money to purchase a batch of war magic knowledge, a full 10 billion to package all the war magic knowledge, including the super powerful war magic knowledge of level four and level five.
The remaining 5 billion will mostly be used to purchase basic supplies.
Including a large number of magical materials needed for magic pattern construction that have not yet been discovered in this plane.
And spent 1 billion to pre-order one million human species cards.
The reason why it is called pre-order is that his current divine domain cannot accommodate so many people, so he pre-orders them and stores these people with Gu Qiangu, and then takes them out when he is promoted to a formal war lord.
It's equivalent to existing there first.
After using up all the funds in one go, Li Qing calmed down.
In the following days, Li Qing returned to his busy state.
In addition to routine meditation every day, he has to make 14 magic pattern constructs in one go, and then routinely make an iron golem. In the little free time left, in addition to studying the newly acquired knowledge, he also has to go out for a walk.
Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, two years had gone by.
During these two years, he only spent half of his time making magic rune constructs. After fully equipping the one hundred blue-named knights and the two hundred green-named converted knights with the constructs, he did not continue with it, but turned to researching the second and third level magic rune constructs.
Three hundred is enough for now, and it feels too useless to keep making first-order constructed knights.
Of course, it’s not that a first-level construct knight is useless. Others can’t find such a magic pattern construct master who can complete a set of equipment every day. It’s mainly useless to Li Qing.
A full set of level three equipment is too extravagant, but a full set of level two constructed knights is not excessive.
Moreover, after two years of research, Li Qing has made new progress and inspiration in his research on magic runes, and he has new ideas.
In terms of magic pattern technology, all second-level magic patterns have been successfully drawn, and we can now try to make second-level constructed knights. The only problem is that our proficiency is not yet high and the speed is not fast enough.
The inspiration comes from some dragon beasts bred from many space dragons and some ferocious beasts in the wild.
These dragons have nothing to do every day and wander around. They have inherited the habits of the dragon clan and without paying attention they have left many dragon species in the wild.
These descendants of dragon sub-dragons do not have pure bloodlines and are not considered true dragons, but they are dragon descendants after all and have extremely powerful physiques.
Li Qing found inspiration here and prepared to make a batch of dragon beasts that could be used as mounts.
It is not a special breeding method because there is not enough time, but the dragon beast is artificially created using the dragon's essence and blood.
These dragon beasts are more intelligent than wild beasts, and are very obedient under the control of their bloodlines, making them very suitable war mounts.
Li Qing planned to use this mount in conjunction with the Space Dragonborn to configure a type of soldier that is itself of the extraordinary level, and then use all second-level magic pattern constructs to carefully create a super-powerful construct knight legion.
In the future, you can even use this as a standard to build your own military system.
But he had been immersed in this dream for less than half a month when a sudden delegation interrupted his idea.
The main city, which had been quiet for two years, finally welcomed the first outsider. A group of envoys claiming to be from the Thunder Group found Li Qing's main city and applied to meet him with formal envoy etiquette.
Li Qing had no choice but to interrupt his research and meet them in the main city.
The delegation is not large, with only eight people, but all of them are powerful warriors above level six, which is why they were able to cross the dangerous primitive jungle to get here.
The two leading envoys bowed to Li Qing with the etiquette of meeting the leader of the camp:
"The envoy of the Leiming Financial Group greets His Excellency Li Qing!"
"Please take a seat!"
Li Qing gestured to his men to bring a chair and asked directly:
"Please explain your purpose."
The main envoy on the right was a middle-aged man, a sixth-level magician hero. He bowed to Li Qing and said:
"The director of the consortium stationed in the Aige plane announced a year ago that he would give up conquering this plane and become neutral, and is willing to trade with all competitors."
"oh!"
Li Qing was not too surprised.
He had heard of the Thunder Group, a large consortium whose main business was in the primitive and wild plane. It had offices in all major cities and its own divine city, so its strength was extremely strong.
Two years ago, he announced that he would participate in the competition for the primitive and wild plane, but when he saw him again two years later, he had announced that he had given up the competition.
I guess they can't compete with other forces, so they have to give up.
Li Qing was not surprised by this. At least two years ago, after learning from Gu Qiangu that the plane was restricted by the Throne of the Supreme Order, he knew that the Thunder Group was not going to do well.
Their only advantage is that they are rich. With limited resource input, how can they compare with other professional war lords?
The main business of the Thunder Consortium is the slave trade and the trading of resources unique to this plane, including food, minerals and other aspects of the trade. Of course, it also engages in intelligence trading.
Although the influx of foreign funds is restricted, their capital and resource transactions in this plane are not affected, and Li Qing is not opposed to doing business with them.
After a moment's thought, he said:
"I personally like to trade with your consortium, but I don't need anything right now, and I don't have any extra resources to trade. But I would like to know some information about Savage City. I wonder if your Chamber of Commerce can provide it."
Two years ago, he had no intelligence about the various forces within the plane.
Although it is still possible to communicate online, no force will tell everyone about their own situation on the Internet. Only occasionally some individuals will see some unimportant news and communicate with others on it.
The envoy of the Leiming Financial Group nodded and said:
"Our Chamber of Commerce has some knowledge of the situation in the plane. I wonder what Mr. Li Qing wants to know."
"How is the war between Savage City and the main city of District 10 going? How are the other forces distributed now? Who is the most powerful force now? Is there any news about the Illusionist War Lord?"
Li Qing asked a bunch of questions in one breath. After listening, the envoy turned back to communicate with his men. A man bowed to Li Qing and said:
"I will now answer Mr. Li Qing's question. I will give you 60 million yuan."
"Can."
"Right now, the most powerful force in the plane is still Savage City. The lord of Savage City, Yi Zhengyuan, gained the support of half of the sub-cities from the beginning. In addition, many small forces are also optimistic about him. His overall strength is the strongest."
"The other five sub-cities united to form the Five Cities Alliance. Because the distance is too far and there are other enemies in Savage City, they cannot gather their full strength and will not be able to defeat the alliance for a while."
"The third force is the Yellow Dragon Adventurers. Originally, this team only wanted to obtain resources in this plane and had no other ideas. However, with the death of His Highness Chun Yu An, the plane was ownerless, so they became ambitious and now occupy the area south of East District 8 and have established a large settlement called Yellow Dragon City."
"The fourth force, the Wasteland Alliance, was established by Xia Qingyuan, the Son of Destiny, and a dozen summer camp contestants. The Wasteland City they established is located in the south of the Tenth District."
"In addition, there are no less than ten small and medium-sized forces similar to His Excellency Li Qing, most of which are scattered in remote places."
"so much?"
Li Qing pinched his chin and thought for a while, then asked:
"Do you have any specific information about their location and strength?"
The other side shook his head:
"We only know some information about Savage City because we are the main rival of the consortium."
"Tell me."
"100 million thanks."
Li Qing's mouth twitched and he nodded:
"explain."
"The Savage City consists of the main city and five cities. In addition to their own troops, they also inherited the main legacy of His Highness Chun Yu An in this plane."
"His Highness Chun Yu An's legacy includes 150,000 elite imperial army troops, 12 diamond golems, 400 steel golems, and a golem army consisting of 4,000 rock golems."
"In addition, there is also a group of mages, including a legendary mage, seven tenth-level sanctuary mages, more than 200 extraordinary great mages between the sixth and ninth levels, and thousands of mages below the extraordinary level."
Li Qing...
"So strong?"
As far as Li Qing knows, in addition to the Lord of Savage City Yi Zhengyuan, his deputy is also a legendary powerhouse. There is also a legendary powerhouse in each of the other five subordinate cities. The leader of the Mage Corps who was previously ignored is also a legendary powerhouse. This means that Savage City has four legendary powerhouses.
In addition, the Five Cities Alliance has two legends.
There is only one legend in Huanglong City.
There are currently no legends in the Wasteland Alliance, but Xia Yuanqing is born sacred. According to Li Qing’s understanding, if things go well in the next few years, he will probably have legendary combat power, and will be stronger than the average legend.
In addition, he must have a demigod protector of a sealed rank, who can also be considered a legendary fighter .
This means that he has at least two legendary fighters. If there is a true god among the dozen or so summer camp players who have joined together and has a protector, it will be even stronger.
No wonder in the eyes of the Thunder Group they can only be regarded as a small or medium-sized force. Without the support of legendary strongmen, they can only be regarded as a small or medium-sized force. They are completely incomparable with the four who possess legendary combat power.
"No, I have to improve my strength quickly!"
Li Qing suddenly realized that the Leiming Group had discovered him, which meant that his location was no longer a secret among other forces.
If he can buy intelligence, other forces will definitely do the same.
This means that it won’t be long before spies from other forces arrive.
Whether it is the Five Cities Alliance, Huanglong City, or the Wasteland Alliance, they are not far away from him. If any party has any ideas, he will have a hard time.
In terms of overall strength, he is not inferior. After two years, he has accumulated very strong strength.
The main reason is that the individual top combat power is not enough, and he doesn’t have any legendary strongmen.
Zhuo Shaohang, the bodyguard sent by Gu Qiangu, has been very low-key in recent years and seems to have been unable to extricate himself from the past. He restrained his aura and followed him beside him. Sometimes he didn't notice his presence and there was no communication at all, so naturally he couldn't be subdued.
Li Qing 's current strength has reached the ninth level, but is less than the tenth level.
He was not quite sure about his current specific strength, nor was he sure whether he could defeat the legendary strong man.
However, judging from the fact that although the bloodline has been growing stronger, it has not undergone any qualitative change, it is likely that there is still a considerable gap between it and the legendary strongmen.
"So, I should improve my strength now!"
Legend is too far away, let’s upgrade to the tenth-level holy realm first.
Li Qing had a strong premonition in his heart that after being promoted to the tenth level, his strength would definitely be greatly improved. With the strength of the ancient dragon's bloodline, he could definitely confront the legendary strongmen head-on.
Of course, before leaving, he first loaded the two divine buildings into the divine domain, and used the fragment of the divine kingdom.
The Fragment of the Kingdom of God is a golden card, but it has many gray cracks on it, and it looks ominous.
There are actually two ways to use this thing. One is to directly integrate it into the divine realm, and the other is to activate the card, materialize the fragments of the divine kingdom, and then allow adventurers to enter the fragments of the divine kingdom to adventure.
Fragments of the Kingdom of God like this, even if the main benefits of the Kingdom of God are gone, the remaining things inside are good things for levels below Legend.
But the risk is too great. It's fine now that it's sealed, but if it's materialized, this thing will collapse at any time.
Communicating with the Eternal Tree, Li Qing inquired about the cost of safely integrating this fragment of the Kingdom of God. It required at least 10 points of the Eternal Tree's favor, and there was no upper limit.
The reason for such a large fluctuation is mainly because this piece of the Kingdom of God fragment is full of cracks, and there will definitely be a lot of losses during the fusion process.
The more favor points consumed, the less loss there will be, and the larger the increased divine domain area will be.
Thinking of this, Li Qing used up the divine grace he had saved without hesitation and began to fuse the fragments of the kingdom of God.
The moment he made his choice, a force imperceptible to the naked eye descended, and the fragments of the kingdom of God in his hand collapsed, turning into golden light that spread across the sky and merged into the divine realm.
The next second, the edge of the divine domain shook violently, and a large amount of soil was exposed at the edge. A gray chaotic air mixed with golden light surged out from the edge, quickly condensing into solid earth and expanding outward.
The expansion of the divine domain was even faster than Li Qing had imagined, and more land was growing rapidly as if in fast forward.
In just one minute, the divine domain extended outward by more than ten meters.
As the lord of the divine domain, Li Qing could clearly sense the total amount of the fragments of the divine kingdom. In his perception, as the divine domain expanded, the energy of these fragments of the divine kingdom was also rapidly consumed.
After about four hours, the fragments of the kingdom of God were consumed, and the space of the divine domain stopped growing.
Li Qing knew clearly that the radius of his divine domain had increased from 5.5 kilometers to 18.5 kilometers, an increase of about 13 kilometers. The total area had increased from 95 square kilometers to 1,110 square kilometers.
An area of one thousand square kilometers is considered quite large, after all, its diameter is 37 kilometers.
Then he loaded the Crystal Palace and the Star Gate into the Divine Realm respectively. He now had a total of 20 Divine Realm building slots, which was enough to accommodate them.
These two divine domain buildings do not need to be unlocked for the time being.
The area of the divine domain is not very large, and the first-level crystal palace is sufficient for the time being.
There is no need to talk about the Star Gate. Without enough source essence, it cannot be unlocked even if you want to.
