Chapter 3008 A Greater Gain Than a Creator!
The second divine kingdom ability that Sky Sea obtained after stepping into the Holy Spirit level, Continued Support, was obviously linked to Whale's Extension.
During the process of nurturing Sky Sea, Lin Yuan knew that Whale's Extension was extremely strategic, but he had never allowed Sky Sea to give birth to an embryo.
Sky Sea produced embryos through its bloodline, so it would not suffer much damage. However, Lin Yuan did not have the resources to nurture these embryos.
The resources required to nurture an embryo were basically the same as nurturing a Floating Island Whale. Lin Yuan could not bear such a consumption of resources.
However, Sky Sea's Continued Support allowed the embryo that continued its bloodline to have the same strength as itself. This greatly reduced Lin Yuan's consumption of nurturing the embryo.
Of course, Continued Support did not increase the strength of the embryos out of thin air. The energy consumed by the Island Whale embryos during the Continued Support process had to be paid by Sky Sea. Lin Yuan was unsure how many Floating Island Whale embryos Sky Sea could augment with its energy absorption speed. Each of these Floating Island Whale embryos was equivalent to a simplified version of Sky Sea. Lin Yuan planned to wait for Sky Sea to recover from its evolution before asking it.
With Lin Yuan acquiring increasingly more resources, he now had two Grade 5 Creators working under him.
Including the Moon Empress, Genius, and the members of the Hundred Questions Beasts Army, there were already eight or nine Grade 4 Creators.
At present, Lin Yuan possessed the ability to build war fortresses on these Floating Island Whale embryos. In the future, if Sky City were to start a war with other factions, these war fortresses made from the Floating Island Whale embryo would be able to be deployed immediately.
By the time Sky Sea completed its evolution and no longer needed to activate its Spirit Whipping Tail Wings with all its might, Lin Yuan would be able to finally observe the situation on its back clearly.
Sky Sea's size had nearly tripled from its original size. Fortunately, Gray's cloud form was still able to envelop Sky Sea's body. Otherwise, the residents in the faith country would most likely be able to see Sky Sea's outline.
As all the buildings on Sky Sea's back were planted in Sky Sea's flesh and blood, Sky Sea's size would not affect the things planted on it.
It had been a while since Hu Quan left the Spirit Lock spatial zone, but he would need to work on the back of Sky Sea in the upcoming period.
"Yuan, I feel the energy within me is more abundant than ever after this grade upgrade. It feels wonderful!"
With that, Sky Sea opened its mouth and swallowed. Boundless energy was absorbed into Sky Sea's body, making it extremely happy.
Lin Yuan sensed Sky Sea's happiness and said with a smile, "Next, I'll find some plant-type feys that can produce faith power and raise them on your body. This way, it'll be easier for you to obtain additional faith power."
Lin Yuan's expression turned serious as he asked, "With the energy in your body and Continued Support, how many embryos can you simultaneously supply with energy?"
Sky Sea knew its situation the best, so it answered Lin Yuan's question honestly, "If I keep absorbing energy through Water Vapor Whale Feelers to forcefully provide energy to those embryos,
"I can bear the consumption of eight to ten embryos at the same time through Continued Support. However, this consumption won't last long. I can only last for a month at most.
"If I only support three to four embryos, I don't need to activate Water Vapor Whale Feelers. I just need to absorb the energy in the environment daily!
"I support the Sky City, which is rarely active on ordinary days, so the energy within me has basically been in a surplus state. Nourishing three to four embryos is just enough to meet my daily energy consumption. The embryos that I nurtured through Continued Support are completely under my control. Controlling them is basically no different from controlling my own body."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan inwardly thought that since that was the case, he could have Hu Quan work on these four embryos to turn them into Sky Motherships capable of swiftly carrying the Sky City around.
Previously, Hu Quan had complained to Lin Yuan that it was not challenging to forge in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Now, the challenge had presented itself.
"Gray, you should be able to create more clouds to cover a wider area, right?"
When Gray heard Lin Yuan's words, it knew what his intentions were. Lin Yuan clearly wanted Sky Sea to support the embryos but did not want it to be exposed to others.
As a World Emperor/Divine Kingdom Heavenly Family Fey in charge of weather, Gray could change the climate of an area. Previously, Gray's cloud had been in a compressed state and had not been released much.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Gray released the clouds it had transformed into. More than half of the sky above the faith country was shrouded in dense clouds, with half of it displaying blue skies and the other half covered in thick clouds. The overall view was stunning.
However, with so many clouds suddenly filling the sky, these pure white cloud formations were viewed by many lifeforms in the faith country as an auspicious omen.
The faith country was formed by large, medium, and small tribes. The majority of its inhabitants lived in extreme misery, with no guarantee of food or shelter.
While life may not be abundant, it was remarkably stable now. Those ferocious demon beasts no longer evoked fear in the eyes of the vulnerable inhabitants of the faith country. Instead, they treated them as their protectors. Some of the lifeforms that lived in the faith country even contributed their faith to the demon insects.
Once the sudden change in weather was considered an auspicious sign, it would greatly accelerate the output of faith power by the residents of the faith country.
As the Realm Abyss Red Lotus' contractor, Lin Yuan could sense the subtle changes. However, he did not care much about this. It was because Lin Yuan knew that once the faith dollars were released and the faith country's trading system was perfected, the faith power produced by the residents of the faith country would increase exponentially.
Upon seeing Gray covering such a large compatibility range, Lin Yuan spoke to Sky Sea. "Use Whale's Extension to divide the embryos through your bloodline. Then, use Continued Support to strengthen these embryos."
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's instructions, Sky Sea's bloodline surged violently, and a huge piece of flesh was produced from its abdomen right on the heels of that. Under the supply of Continued Support, the newborn embryo grew into a huge creature in just a few minutes. (no v.el) (n ex t) .c*m
The Floating Island Whale embryo was slightly smaller than Sky Sea but not by much.
Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the growth of these embryos.
"Yuan, I can use the Continued Support of my divine kingdom to enhance these embryos at will. However, it takes time for me to produce embryos through Whale's Extension. I need some time to recover before I can hatch again. Otherwise, it will greatly affect the condition of my bloodline. I can produce an embryo around every six months or so.
"Even if there is an abundance of spirit qi to absorb, forcibly dividing the embryos might affect them negatively, resulting in weaker floating island whales compared to the current robust one that is hatching."
When Lin Yuan heard that Sky Sea could produce an embryo in half a year, he could not help but be surprised at the speed at which it produced embryos.
For half a year, Hu Quan had not been able to help a Floating Island Whale build the outline of Sky Mothership.
"Sky Sea, you don't have to be in such a hurry to incubate the embryo. Just slowly incubate it. You must ensure that your bloodline remains unaffected. All the embryos you have blessed should be in their strongest state!"
Sky Sea said seriously, "Yuan, I only need to absorb the spiritual qi in the environment. I don't need you to provide me with more resources. If there's a need, I'll tell you directly. If you're not in Sky City, I'll contact Wen Yu or Liu Jie directly!"
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan was relieved and released Hu Quan from the Spirit Lock spatial zone, "Uncle Hu, didn't you always say that it's very boring in the Spirit Lock spatial zone? Now that there's a brand new project, I guarantee that you'll think it's a challenge!"
Hu Quan was still in a daze when Lin Yuan suddenly summoned him from the Spirit Lock spatial zone. However, Hu Quan did not take Lin Yuan's words seriously. Since following Lin Yuan, Hu Quan's perspective had grown increasingly broad, and now there were few things that Hu Quan considered challenging.
In Hu Quan's heart, the things forged in the Spirit Lock spatial zone could not be considered a challenge. The only thing that could be called a challenge was probably the construction of the Sky City on the back of Sky Sea!
For Lin Yuan to be able to obtain a Floating Island Whale was already considered good fortune. Hu Quan did not think that Lin Yuan would be able to obtain another Floating Island Whale.
However, when Hu Quan followed Lin Yuan's finger and looked into the distance, he was stunned. Hu Quan was certain that he was standing on the back of Sky Sea, but what was that behemoth not far away! Could it be that Lin Yuan had found another Floating Island Whale?!
Upon seeing the shocked expression on his face, Lin Yuan explained to Hu Quan, "Uncle Hu, this isn't a real Floating Island Whale. It's an existence created by Sky Sea's own abilities as it evolves in grade. In the next three years, three Floating Island Whales with such huge bodies will be hatched. I plan to use these Floating Island Whales as fortresses and Sky Motherships to protect Sky City. At that time, I'll arrange for a Grade 5 Creator and Uncle Hu to build the Sky Motherships together. I hope you can communicate more with each other!"
Building a Sky Mothership on a body resembling Sky Sea's clone not only required designing abilities but also sufficient Creator-related knowledge.
Letting Zhong Zhiyu lead the other Creators to invest in the construction of the Sky Mothership could maximize the value of these high-grade Creators. At the same time, it would make Zhong Zhiyu and the other Creators feel valued.
With an expression of astonishment on his face, Hu Quan absorbed every word spoken by Lin Yuan. His face was filled with a delightful expression of surprise.
Hu Quan was pleasantly surprised not only because he could obtain a new challenge, but also because he was about to work with a Grade 5 Creator.
Hu Quan was not a Creator, but every time he came into contact with a Creator, he would obtain a lot of insights.
"Young Master, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I won't disappoint you!"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, I naturally trust you. When have you ever let me down during all this time? Uncle Hu, you should communicate more with that Grade 5 Creator. You should be able to obtain a lot of benefits yourself!"
Hu Quan said with a smile, "Of course. Young Master, I want to choose some Spirit Craftsmen first and bring them to Sky Sea's clone for inspection. There's no place in the Spirit Lock spatial zone that needs me anymore. My disciples are enough to maintain the construction of the Spirit Lock spatial zone. I want to use this time to think about the design of the back on Sky Sea's clone!"
Naturally, Lin Yuan would not reject Hu Quan's request. Lin Yuan had always admired Hu Quan's sense of responsibility. Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed so much work to him.
After settling Hu Quan down, Lin Yuan went to look for the Moon Empress. Upon returning to the Sky City this time, Lin Yuan hadn't yet found the time to meet her master.
When he arrived at the Moon Empress' residence, Lin Yuan saw Wen Yu talking to Mystic Moon.
Mystic Moon was the reason why Wen Yu could grow so much. Even now, Mystic Moon would often guide her.
Upon seeing Lin Yuan's usually cold face, the Moon Empress smiled and waved at Lin Yuan, "Little Yuan, come and sit. You've gained a lot from this trip!"
When she mentioned Lin Yuan's gains, she could not help but be secretly shocked. Previously, Lin Yuan had talked to the Moon Empress about bringing in a few more high- grade Creators for Sky City.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan brought a Grade 5 Creator and four Grade 4 Creators back to Sky City. Among the four Grade 4 Creators, several of them were stronger than him!
Lin Yuan revealed a smile at the mention of such a harvest. He didn't spend much time outside this time, but the gains he acquired left even him feeling surprised and somewhat surreal.
Before Lin Yuan left, he had never thought that he would be able to obtain such a huge harvest. Only in front of the Moon Empress would Lin Yuan show his childish side.
"Master, my gains this time aren't just limited to these few Creators. There are other gains that are just as significant!"
Upon hearing that, the Moon Empress revealed a surprised expression. She was very curious about what kind of harvest Lin Yuan had obtained to be able to say that it was not inferior to subduing the Creators.
