Chapter 837 Kronos Island
Chapter 837 Kronos Island
There are many floating islands in Yuanxia Palace, but not many meet the requirements. After all, this project requires a large site, and Oropas took a long time to find a qualified one.
Even so, they only built a research institute. The training layer is fine, but the activity layer...
Looking at the slightly cramped activity area, Saphir's face darkened: "How can we move around in such a small place?"
"It's not small anymore, you're not even as big as a fart, what do you need such a big place for?" Oropas complained in a low voice.
At his complaints, Saphir's mouth twitched. Is that the place she wants? That's a place for experimental subjects to move around!
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his emotions, Saphir looked at the completed floating island and rubbed his brows. "That's it. The activity floor will be converted into a material processing room."
"Then, the active layer..." Oropus knew clearly that apart from the main island of the Abyssal Palace, there were no floating islands large enough for Saphir to choose from.
The main island has been occupied by the Fatui's buildings, making it even more impossible to vacate it.
Saphir waved his hand: "Well, I'll figure it out myself."
She had actually been preparing everything here for a long time, and was also conducting research on dragon lizards. The purpose was to create various mutant dragon species by fusing different genes with dragon lizard genes.
Because the dragon blood in the dragon lizard's body has become very thin, Oropas has been conducting experiments on the dragon lizard's atavism and has achieved certain results.
Now that we have hit a bottleneck and it is difficult to break through, we have begun to help Safir plan the next step.
Rene is the person that Saphir is looking for to break the deadlock. Now that Rene has not arrived, Orobath's research cannot continue.
All Saphir had to do was complete the subsequent preparations before Rene arrived.
In her vision, an area similar to an ecological park will be built here, in which various mutant dragon species will be placed. The materials from these dragon species are very precious and can be used to forge various equipment.
Moreover, obtaining materials can also train the combat effectiveness of subordinates, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
And now, this plan has been stuck due to venue issues, which makes Safire not know what to say.
But there is no way, Oropas is not omnipotent, at least he is not able to create land.
Safir was also a little conflicted. In fact, expansion was not impossible. He just needed to connect Yuanxia Palace with Haizhi Island and move the land over. Haizhi Island was vast and sparsely populated, so the land was not valuable.
But there is one biggest problem with doing this. Yuanxia Palace is located on collapsed earth with severed ground veins. Here one can break through some of the shackles on this planet and accomplish things that are impossible in the outside world.
Once the earth veins were connected, the uniqueness of Yuanxia Palace would disappear. By then, wouldn't Saphir Panxia Yuanxia Palace be meaningless? This was something she couldn't accept.
It needs to be a landmass that is not connected to the earth veins, but is also large enough...
Safir rubbed her temples and pondered deeply. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind: there really is such a place!
Many days later, in Liyue, there was a teahouse on the rocks.
Zhongli blew gently on the tea leaves floating on the surface of the teacup in his hand, took a sip of the tea, and then said lightly: "So, you want me to help you move it?"
"I really don't have the strength to move it. It's very big..." Safir said in a weak voice.
Zhongli's expression nearly collapsed upon hearing this, and he quickly closed his eyes. After a few seconds, he spoke again, "Fushe told me about the size of that thing. It's indeed incredibly large, but..."
He glanced at Saphir's expectant expression and sighed speechlessly, "A guy as big as the Yunlai Sea area, even for me, it would be difficult to move him."
"Huh?" Saphir was stunned. "You can't do it? Then who should I turn to?"
Zhongli raised his eyes slightly, feeling a little melancholy. Didn't this girl hear the hidden meaning in his words? It's hard to move, not impossible. Can't she just say something softly and beg him?
People need motivation to work, right?
Safir really didn't understand the hidden meaning of Zhongli's words. She always felt that Zhongli would not lie to her. If he said it couldn't be done, then it couldn't be done. She could only find another way.
After frowning and thinking for a while, Saphir sighed.
Just when Zhongli thought the girl was going to act cute and beg him, Saphir spoke up, "How about... I go find Barbatos and try. I remember he was able to blow away the Pointed Hat Peak, so transporting that thing here shouldn't be difficult."
Hearing this, Zhongli's expression froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
Barbatos couldn't do it, he said.
Even if it could be done, it couldn't be done, he said.
Unfortunately, just as Saphir finished speaking, a strange voice rang out: "Yohoo! Is anyone missing the greatest bard in the world?"
Zhongli's expression turned cold: "Get lost."
"Okay!" Barbatos left.
Seeing the green figure fleeing in panic, Saphir fell into a daze. It took him a long time to react: "No... Zhongli! What... are you doing with Potion 8!"
"It's just an island. I'll move it to you. There's no need to ask others for help." Zhongli stood up with a righteous attitude.
Safir looked at the man who had entered the serious mode, his eyelids twitching: No, buddy, that’s not what you said just now!
But it doesn’t matter anymore. Since Zhongli is planning to take action, that’s the best.
The two soon arrived at the Erinus area, and Wendy came with them.
The green bard had just run away after being shouted at by Zhongli, but after learning that these two guys were going to make a big move, he followed them again.
On the way, Saphir explained in detail his considerations and the information about this target.
After listening to Saphir's explanation, Zhongli was silent for a while, staring at Saphir for a long time: "Dragons are not livestock. Raising them carelessly may backfire."
"Backlash? Whose backlash?" Saphir said nonchalantly, "I'm just raising some mutants to extract materials. It's nothing serious."
Wendy rarely showed a serious expression, because Safir's behavior was really too cruel. It was as if he was meeting him for the first time.
After thinking for a while, Wendy finally spoke: "Do you... hate dragon lizards?"
"Ah?" Safir was a little confused. She didn't understand why Wendy would say such a thing.
Wendy asked again, "What you're doing could be a disaster for the Dragon Lizard Clan. Is your hatred really that deep?"
Looking at Wendy's expression, Saphir suddenly understood why the two of them looked so serious. After figuring out the reason, she couldn't help but laugh: "What are you thinking? When did I ever say I wanted to do a live experiment on a dragon lizard?"
She felt a little helpless, but she couldn't blame the two old men. After all, when it came to this kind of thing, many people's first reaction was to do live experiments.
"Don't worry, it's not what you think. In this matter... the dragon lizard will indeed be involved, but not as an experimental subject, but as a gene provider.
All the dragon species involved here are cultivated from scratch. Hmm... the specific method is difficult to explain, but you will understand when you see it. "Sapphire wanted to explain in detail, but didn't know how to say it, so he decided to let them see it with their own eyes, so that they would understand.
After hearing what Safir said, although the two were still a little skeptical, they finally relaxed a little.
Although Zhongli was willing to support all of Saphir's actions, he couldn't just ignore her if she was going to do something ridiculous and bring about her own destruction.
As for Venti, as one of the only two surviving original Seven Gods, he often prefers to follow Zhongli. In his own words: The old man is steady, and it's always right to follow his pace.
After pacifying the two old men, the three of them arrived at Erinath.
It is worth mentioning that Villette had already noticed the three people as soon as they entered Fontaineland, but he just glanced in the direction of them and then lowered his head to continue looking through the files.
The relationship between the Dragon and the Seven Gods was not harmonious, so they could not meet each other just like that, at least not in broad daylight.
In the Erinus area, after Saphir landed, he took out the dagger that had not been used for a long time: Wu Ai·Likong.
This weapon was crafted for her by Zhongli, using the Salt Devil's weapons, Salt Sorrow and Salt Sorrow, as raw materials. The additional markings also embody Heulia's power, a simple and crude way of rubbing salt into wounds.
But after Zhongli's mediation, Saphir later secretly engraved his own mark on it, a mark related to spatial power.
In fact, this mark was not easy to come by, because Saphir's understanding of space was not very deep, and she was better at things related to time.
Space was not her research direction, but perhaps it was fate. She saw the afterimage of Asmodai in the Midsummer Courtyard and then obtained this mark about space.
With this, this weapon can be said to be able to easily cut through spatial barriers, but she rarely uses it.
The reason is simple: it hurts.
Taking out the dagger, Saphir scratched his palm, and bright red blood flowed out, and a red-gold mark emerged from the dagger.
After activating the brand, two small bumps began to appear on Saphir's forehead, which was a sign that horns were about to grow.
If she used all her strength to activate the energy of the Nether Seat, she would definitely enter the demonic form, but this time, there was no need for that.
After exerting a little strength, Saphir's pupils shrank slightly, and then he suddenly slashed in the air.
A dark crack appeared in the empty space.
By creating a crack, the road is opened. All that is left is to stabilize the entrance before entering.
Taking a deep breath, Saphir silently recited in his heart: "Seventh Transformation of Snake - Chaos - Carrying Glaze."
The vast void force condensed into space crystals one after another, which were then filled into the cracks to stabilize their state. After a while, the space channel opened by Saphir stabilized. Seeing this, even Zhongli and Wendy were a little surprised.
Wendy didn't hide her surprise at all. "Sapphire, you're... the abyss? But it feels different, it seems purer."
"There are only three of us here, there's no need to act stupid." Safir rolled his eyes at Wendy.
Zhongli stared at Saphir with his phoenix eyes unblinkingly: "Your skillful use of the virtual force is obvious. It can be seen that Boss Phil's strength has improved recently.
If I'm not mistaken, this is Kanriya's lost skill, the Seven Transformations of the Snake, which is about how to use the power of the virtual world.
But this is the first time I've heard that the Seven Transformations of Snake can also create spatial elements. Can this still be called the Seven Transformations?"
As we all know, the seven changes of snake are called seven changes, which correspond to the seven basic elements of wind, rock, thunder, grass, water, fire and ice.
But now Saphir has used this technique to use elements other than the seven elements, so this seven transformations is not suitable.
Saphir chuckled. "The name of a skill is just a name. Whether it's the Seventh Transformation or the Ninth Transformation, there's no need to be so serious about it. The passage is secure, let's go in."
"Okay." Zhongli nodded slightly.
The three of them stepped into the space gate and came inside.
This was the battlefield where Saphir led his men to annihilate Odin and the Tartan clan. Due to the disappearance of Matga, the memory subject, the passage of time in this space was stopped, and stopped at the moment when the sun was setting.
It looked very much like the battlefield where they had experienced destruction the last time: the dusk sea where the sun never sets.
This time, the sea surface in this place also remained at dusk.
The golden afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the constantly rhythmic sea surface, and ripples appeared on the sea water, tearing the afterglow into tiny pieces of light. In the center of the sea in the distance, an island floated quietly, and black smoke columns rose into the sky. Everything looked so quiet.
"A huge corpse of an ancient beast." Wendy murmured as she looked at Antun's body.
Saphir nodded. "This is my goal. I call it... Kronos Island."
"Its body is much wider than the Abyss Palace. If we put it there, the Abyss Palace will seem cramped." Zhongli looked at Kronos Island and silently accumulated strength.
He was the porter this time. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised by the size of Antun. Moving this thing was much more difficult than blowing away a mountain or a sea.
Saphir's eyes sparkled with excitement. "But... isn't that cool? Space can be infinitely extended. As long as it exists, space will contain it."
"Asmodai should abdicate and let you be the ruler of the space." Wendy complained.
Regarding this statement about space, Safir is much more radical than Asmodai. At least that guy would never say anything crazy like space can extend infinitely.
Space has its limits, just like a blown-up balloon. The bigger it expands, the more fragile it becomes. When the balloon expands to its limit and continues to grow, it will eventually explode.
But obviously, given the situation at Yuanxia Palace, the balloon was far from reaching its limit. It wouldn't be difficult to stuff a Kronos Island into it.
Zhongli didn't know when was the last time he was so serious. Due to the special nature of this secret realm, the elemental power could not be restored. Even as the God of Rock, he found it difficult to use it and was not so adept at it.
After using all his strength, Zhongli could only barely lift up Kronos Island. Seeing this, Wendy hurriedly lent a hand, and the two of them worked together to lift up the island which was as big as a continent.
With excitement flashing in Safir's eyes, he quickly took out Veronica and slapped Wuai Likong on it. After activating the brand, he slashed out a blade light that was like the sky falling.
"Wuxiang's sword!" A slightly funny voice sounded in the secret realm, and then an extremely huge space crack was cut out.
Just one was not enough, so Saphir slashed out several times in succession, and the size of each crack was close to the narrow gap of the Wuxiang Blade slashed by Ying.
Several small cracks formed a large crack, and then a steady stream of space elements began to be infused, stabilizing the cracks to form a space gate.
This time, Safir directly opened up a passage from the secret realm to the Yuanxia Palace, saving the two old men from having to carry such a large island for tens of thousands of miles, which would have attracted a lot of onlookers.
Zhongli took a deep breath, and a golden light flashed on his body: "Let's go!"
The two old men carried the huge Kronos Island, stepped into the space gate, and disappeared into this secret realm.
