Chapter 709 -587: The Invaded Foreign Land
The news of the ‘resurrection’ of the Moon God was not beyond Lynn’s expectations, or rather, it was the result he deliberately allowed to happen.
There were roughly three reasons for this.
The first was as bait!
A group of remnants from the Church, already exposed under his watchful eyes, posed a significantly reduced threat and could be dealt with at any time; it was better to use them to lure out many others who were conspiring against the kingdom in hiding.
The second reason was to charge the new power system!
Although they had successfully created a superluminal starship, the issue of energy consumption had always been a headache for Lynn—until they captured Ella, the living Moon God, which then barely resolved the issue.
However, after a few rounds through cosmic space, Ella, the de facto energy core, was almost drained dry. Without the augmentation of the divine domain, the Moon Goddess was at her weakest.
If Lynn didn’t give her some hope, he truly worried Ella might simply give up or even choose suicide—after all, their starship had no second energy core to replace her!
The third was related to one of his plans, but whether it would work depended on how cooperative the other party was.
These thoughts, naturally, Lynn did not share with Sean; not that Sean was untrustworthy, but there was no need.
After indicating that he was aware, Lynn quickly moved on from that topic and began discussing the next film’s shooting issues with Sean. free𝑤ebnovel.com
If the first “Dave’s Tale” began the story from the perspective of an imperial farmer, to heighten the empire citizens’ sense of immersion, making them empathize with similar experiences and relive the dark reign of the empire and the Church, then “Dave’s Tale II” would truly reveal how the Church relied on a fabricated Bible to brutally exploit and rule over the common people.
However, in Sean’s view, both “Dave’s Tale I” and “Dave’s Tale II” were only prequels, serving as a background setup: Dave and a group of Wizards opposed to the empire were incapable of shaking the Church’s rule by themselves.
What he planned to shoot next was the life of this star of magic, which was legendary and would be a true prelude to a counterattack!
Sean went on and on about the shooting plans for subsequent films. Listening to a script adapted from his own experiences as the protagonist, Lynn’s expression grew more and more peculiar, especially under Sean’s narration, he seemed almost omniscient and omnipotent…
Lynn couldn’t help but think back to when he, in order to evade the Church’s pursuit and obtain a relatively safe research environment, had fled all the way to Yiyeta Harbor in a rather disgraceful manner, feeling somewhat embarrassed, yet he didn’t feel inclined to correct it.
After all, it was a movie script, and a bit of artistic exaggeration was only normal, so Lynn only offered some constructive suggestions from the standpoint of script creation.
While Sean was full of various creative ideas and eager to discuss them with Lynn, he was also aware that movies were ultimately just a tool for entertainment and propaganda. The star of magic probably had many more urgent matters to attend to, so he soon bid farewell and left.
As Sean closed the door, Lynn, who was inside the room, also vanished from the empty room.
Contrary to Sean’s expectation, the Lynn in the capital was just an avatar.
At this moment, the actual Lynn was researching the design of new warships with Dennis, discussing the kingdom’s next steps with Harrov and others… With such avatars in the Land of Death, Alchemy Research Institute, Fire Oil City, and even distant lands, supported by immense computing power, operating on multiple threads and ‘separate’ thought processes was naturally effortless for Lynn.
As for Lynn’s true self, he was engaged in a particularly important task: expanding the divine domain to encompass the entire Eternal Star!
Previously, in order to cope with the war against the Lord of Death, Lynn had hastily carried out the godhood ceremony, and his divine domain only covered a continent, approximately one-tenth of the entire planet. One of the biggest factors limiting its range was magic power.
Although the Space-Time Gates opened by Moon Goddess Diana sent a massive amount of magic power to this world, aiding him in completing a significant portion of the work, it was still far from sufficient to take the whole Eternal Star under his control.
Luckily, with the new control over the moon and other realms, they obtained new sources of magic power. Therefore, Lynn had been continuously expanding the range of the divine domain for some time, now encompassing more than half the planet, with magic power imbued with will even seeping into the planet’s core.
Unlike the decaying realm of other territories, the Eternal Star was a true star of life; it seemed very ‘young’ and extraordinarily vibrant, containing enormous untapped potential.
If one were to compare the planet to a person, then the thick crust would be the skin, the surging magma layer would be the blood coursing through the body, and the core like the heart beating ceaselessly.
As the fusion deepened, his power also further enhanced. Lynn estimated that by the time he completely covered the entire world with the divine domain, merging with the core, he would break through from a lesser divine power to a mid-level divine power!
That day shouldn’t be too far away!
However, things did not always go so smoothly. While single-mindedly increasing his power level and dealing with kingdom affairs, Lynn swiftly noticed that there seemed to be some problems in the other realms.
After capturing Ai’la and seizing control over the foreign realm, Wizard expanded the Space-Time Gate connecting the two places once again. With the help of the expansion of the divine realm, he achieved communication between the two lands.
However, there was some delay in this form of communication. Only when Magic Power was transmitted from the other side could he learn what was happening in the foreign realm.
To completely eliminate this delay and control both worlds simultaneously without obstacles, the only way was to make the flow of time in both places consistent.
Undoubtedly, this required a rather long waiting period, and now that an alarm was suddenly transmitted from the foreign realm, Lynn couldn’t help but worry that this might be the gods of the main world playing tricks in secret.
With this thought, Lynn descended in his true form, as the avatar he left in the foreign realm was likely insufficient to deal with the problem.
A multi-faceted crystal, straddling the line between reality and illusion, appeared out of nowhere. Immediately, the surrounding elements surged madly, forming a person’s internal organs, brain, skeleton, and finally, muscles and skin.
In just three seconds, the body was fully formed, and immediately after, Lynn stepped out and crossed the space-time rift.
…
Foreign realm, Shattered City—Akana!
Like its name, this city had weathered many storms. It was destroyed and rebuilt time and again in numerous wars across different planes, and now it served as one of the storage and transit hubs for supplies.
Since this place was close to where they had opened the space-time rift, even though it was severely damaged, Lynn had still put in some effort to repair it.
Moreover, to facilitate the rescue of resources from the foreign realm and prevent the workers from having to move in the dark, they had built a huge fusion reactor in the center of the continent. Restrained a hundred kilometers above the planet, it acted like the Sun that never ceased to cast light and heat, brightly illuminating the surface for hundreds of thousands of miles around as if it were daytime.
Indeed, they had artificially created a new Sun!
Although it was nowhere near as large as a real star, its effect was the same.
Every person who traveled to the foreign realm from Eternal Star, upon looking up at this artificial Sun, couldn’t help but marvel at the greatness of magic!
Of course, having light did not conceal the desolation of the foreign realm. It was particularly evident around the Shattered City, scarred by hundreds of hydrogen explosions, leaving vast craters. Restoring them would require a significant amount of Divine Power, so Lynn left the craters there, merely creating a magical bridge that allowed passage…
The moment Lynn entered the foreign realm, he sensed the problem: the world appeared calm on the surface because the invasion came from a higher-dimensional plane of existence.
Lynn extended his perception gradually, with Magic Power imbued with will clinging to the unseen curves of space-time. Then, he distinctly felt the space of this plane being torn apart!
The most severe tearing was about three hundred kilometers away, above a canyon. Fortunately, a true cross-border portal had not yet formed.
“Is it because they lack accurate coordinates for positioning?” Lynn wondered to himself.
The Lord of Death’s invasion of Eternal Star, as well as their invasion of the foreign realm, had almost instantly created a space-time node that connected two worlds.
This time, however, the other party had been trying for such a long time and still hadn’t broken through the barrier of space-time.
Lynn suspected that the invaders probably did not possess the exact coordinates and must be using a method of positioning that was more vague relative to coordinates. This might be why the Moon Goddess, even after escaping the main world with her divine realm, was still located by the Lord of Death.
This meant there was still a chance to fix things. Lynn immediately set to work, summoning more power near the torn area of space, beginning to reinforce and repair it.
Two powerful yet disparate forces used the space as a battlefield, clashing with each other.
If the space-time of this area could be likened to a pane of tempered glass, then the other side was hammering away with a mallet, while Lynn was constantly reinforcing it with tape and wooden boards.
But Lynn soon discovered that similar rifts began appearing in other regions of the foreign realm, even in mountains, rivers, and oceans.
This made the task of repairing space particularly challenging; it was like playing whack-a-mole—no sooner had one been dealt with than another popped up, causing immense frustration.
What made Lynn feel uneasy was that the force tearing space-time was not unified; this indicated a highly unfavorable piece of news—the ones trying to break through the space-time channel on the other side… were not just one god!
