Treasure Hunting System: The Ocean Conquerer
Chapter 886 - 377: Spoils of War (Part 2)
"If you don’t mind spending a little more time, wait until the Flower Fairy is fully revived before leaving."
Hearing this, Alka nodded: "Of course, how could I miss such a significant event?"
Alati nodded, making a sound of agreement and said no more.
Soon, the two of them took their leave.
After all, it was not yet time for them to relax.
"The revival of the Flower Fairy? We are about to witness an event that will impact the world, it’s quite exciting just thinking about it," Jason said, watching them leave.
After all, this is the revival of a true Divine or the return of an ancient old god to the world.
This is undoubtedly the greatest event in centuries.
Suddenly, a sound came from above the camp, and then the ceiling opened up on both sides as the Crystal Dragon flew in from the sky.
The moment it flew in, its body wavered slightly and even directly collided with the nearby wall, causing the surrounding branches to shake slightly.
Jason hurriedly walked over.
Looking at the Crystal Dragon lying against the wall.
The people who were chatting looked over in slight surprise.
"What’s wrong with her?" Alka asked, looking at the current state of the Crystal Dragon. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The moment the Crystal Dragon flew in, it curled up into a ball and appeared to be in deep sleep.
However, apart from the initial moment of panic, Jason’s expression had stabilized, showing no sign of worry.
He gently stroked the soft fur of the Crystal Dragon and said, "It’s fine now, she just needs a short sleep to advance with me to the Fourth Stage."
Hearing this, Lucilia couldn’t help but recall some information about dragons she had learned from books and asked, "So how long will she sleep?"
"One or two years, perhaps."
"What?" The others were surprised.
Only Alka cast a glance at Jason: "You’re talking about a normal Giant Dragon, Ulu Liwus is far from normal."
Hearing this, Jason chuckled: "Couldn’t fool you, didn’t expect you to become so knowledgeable."
"Once I advance to the Fourth Stage, I’ll be able to nourish her through Meditation. That way, it won’t be long before she awakens."
He said while stroking the sleeping Ulu Liwus: "Hopefully, she can wake up before the Flower Fairy does, it would be a pity to miss such a time."
The others set aside their worries.
"Now, all that’s left is to wait."
...
As night fell, Alka sank into the Dream Realm.
He arrived at the kingdom of dreams.
When he left his own Dream Bubbles and came outside,
what he saw was a large cloud of dream constructions spewing out, binding countless Demons.
Looking closely, there were at least several hundred.
Moreover, the weakest little demons had vanished without a trace, and the weakest remaining were ordinary Demons of the Second and Third Stages.
Amongst them were powerful middle-tier Demons of the Fourth and Fifth Stages.
At this moment, these Demons no longer emitted the wild roars Alka heard when he entered last night, and almost all had fallen into a weakened, unconscious state.
Nevertheless, the smell of blood emanating from these Demons and the thick sulfurous scent still lingered in the air of the Dream Realm.
However, the fog-like creatures in the dream did not possess a sense of smell, and they could not detect the sulfur scent, which was only a problem for Alka, the King.
At this time, the entire kingdom of dreams was in a state of busyness.
A large number of fog-like creatures turned into workers, constructing a sharp tower in the center of the kingdom.
Fortunately, with so many fog-like creatures building, the progress of the tower was exceptionally rapid.
The Shadow Robe could be seen directing the construction progress around the construction site.
Phantom appeared beside Alka.
Simultaneously, Xuan appeared and sat on Alka’s shoulder.
Phantom carried Alka on its back and, without needing Alka to say much, arrived around the central construction of the tower.
Shadow Robe floated over.
"Your Majesty."
Alka nodded: "Based on the current progress, how much longer will it take to complete construction?"
"According to real-world calculations, it will probably take about a week.
What we’re building now is just the shell, the inner core requires the delicate operation of Tier Six fog-like creatures."
Hearing this, Alka asked: "Is it feasible to extract these Demons’ power to create new inhabitants?"
Indeed, the true function of this tower under construction is to use the bound Demons around it as an energy source to create new fog-like creatures, accelerating their birth process.
"No problem, Your Majesty, this is fundamentally utilizing the world’s protective forces. Before the world fractured, it would cast the souls of these otherworldly invaders into the World Furnace, turning them into nourishment for the world.
This serves as a punishment for the invaders, with the most abundant nourishment being these demons who love to invade far and wide."
Finishing his explanation, Shadow Robe began a more detailed introduction: "Your Majesty, many Dream Kings have used such structures; this was an architecture created by a powerful ancient Dream King of the past.
It is primarily modeled after the old World Furnace, reportedly this Dream King was initially a custodian of the World Furnace. With the world’s destruction, this mechanism ceased to exist.
Yet some Dream Kings’ worlds have constructed Furnace Towers as replicas of the World Furnace.
They served for a long time in fending off the invaders.
Unfortunately, such opportunities are few and far between.
With the world’s will becoming increasingly despondent, the gap between dreams and reality has grown ever distant.
It’s rare to see the figures of Demons appearing in dreams anymore; even when Demons die in reality, their souls would still return to the Abyss.
