Chapter 89: Crafting a Sword to Instill Fear in the World
Chapter 89: Crafting a Sword to Instill Fear in the World
"Thank you for the information. It seems that Moliel is just an excuse. The real reason is that you want to unite all possible forces to eliminate the True Dragon Emperor. The dragon clan is just the beginning; the real focus will be on persuading the other lords of the Heavenly Gifted Region."
Qin Muye was no fool. The original inhabitants had already been crushed by the top ten lords on the leaderboard. Once they realized their hard power was insufficient, they naturally had to resort to methods of division, alliance, and suppression.
The full mobilization of the dragon clan was just one part of it. The real goal was to persuade other lords to act against the True Dragon Emperor.
First, they would eliminate the greatest threat, and then continue to divide and suppress the rest.
It was a good plan, but the problem was that everyone knew the truth. Unless they willingly fell into the trap, there was no way it would succeed.
Perhaps the top ten lords might have their own thoughts, but someone like Qin Muye, who was considered weak, would be crushed by the mere aftermath of their battles, let alone actually joining them.
"It seems you have a lot of confidence in the True Dragon Emperor. I wonder how much confidence you have yourself?" the Wisdom Tree asked calmly.
"I have no confidence at all. The True Dragon Emperor is indeed very domineering, but do you really think this poor and remote place has any resources?" Qin Muye chuckled. If he were to really talk about resources, there was only the grass on the ground.
Besides, if he couldn't stand up to them, he could at least hide.
The fact that the Wisdom Tree came to him indicated that the plan had at least been successful in large part, or that they had already won over the majority of the lords.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to someone as insignificant as him.
If he were to join them, he would gain nothing if they succeeded, and he would lose his life if they failed.
Whether the True Dragon Emperor existed or not didn't affect Qin Muye, only the top ten lords. It had nothing to do with him, a mere 3rd-rank lord.
The beasts in battle wouldn't notice the ants at their feet. If the ants stayed far away, they would survive, but if they got too close, they would be crushed.
"Since you have made your decision, I will no longer try to persuade you. Your current influence doesn't need me to provide you with a class change certificate anymore."
With that, the Wisdom Tree's figure gradually faded and finally disappeared.
[You have gained 2150 experience points]
After the Wisdom Tree left, Qin Muye returned with a calm expression.
Despite his outward composure, he was actually very anxious inside.
'Outside is too chaotic. The True Dragon Emperor's meeting with the other nine must have been a decapitation plan, no wonder it didn't happen.'
'But these gods are really too weak. How can they dare to fight the True Dragon Emperor with such strength?'
'This server is also broken. How can the 7th rank be the limit? Does this mean there can only be one 7th-rank? This will drive people mad sooner or later.'
Qin Muye felt a sense of impending doom. He was currently safe in his secluded corner because of the natural barrier, his weakness, and the poverty of his region, which kept others from targeting him.
But if the final battle for the world's dominance were to come, his influence would stand out.
'Get stronger, get stronger. Otherwise, there won't even be time to run away when the time comes.'
Resist? Don't even think about it. This group was incredibly absurd, developing to the world's limit in just a month. This couldn't be explained without cheating.
From the current situation, it seems that the limited-time event of the Dragon's Blood won't end anytime soon. If it were just a simple event, it would have ended here, but the current situation is far from simple.
‘More importantly, why did the Wisdom Tree come to me?’
Qin Muye had always kept a low profile. The only time he had been in the spotlight was during the Angel Investor event. ‘It seems that some lords have already reached an agreement with the original inhabitants.’
The original inhabitants did indeed have a prejudice against the lords, but that didn’t mean their impressions couldn’t be changed. It also didn’t mean that the original inhabitants wouldn’t support certain lords. If possible, they could even use various methods to sideline the lords.
After returning to his territory, Qin Muye did not immediately study the harpy. That could wait. Instead, he focused on further refining the special transformation formula for the Crimson Nethermind.
Originally, he hadn’t thought of this, but now he had no choice. The information from the Wisdom Tree might have been mixed with some other details, but it was definitely true. Even if it were false, it was better to be prepared.
In the laboratory, Qin Muye frowned deeply. "Why can't I just split myself into a hundred people?"
Qin Muye was truly at a loss. Without a major crisis, he could take things easy, but once he faced a situation like this, he wished he could stretch a minute into a day.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t, or he would have done so in great detail.
"Facing a group of lords who are like protagonists in a wish-fulfillment story, how am I supposed to fight them? The original inhabitants can’t even handle them, let alone me."
"Wait, if I can’t fight them, I can undermine them."
Qin Muye’s gaze fell on the Crimson Elemental Core. This new type of energy element was highly effective against magic and other elements. If he could succeed, it would be like having a nuclear weapon at his disposal.
He could just blow up anyone who dared to provoke him.
The damage wasn’t the main point; the key was that once the Crimson energy erupted, it would start to decay and assimilate magic and elements, converting them into Crimson elements.
Based on the data he had, it would also affect divine power.
The Crimson element had a strong radiation effect and would reduce the concentration of elements, effectively degrading the entire magic continent from a high-magic state to a medium or even low-magic state.
This would be a catastrophic blow to magical species, and most life forms would be unable to survive in the presence of Crimson elements.
Since his own strength was insufficient, he had to create something that would make the entire world tremble, to intimidate his enemies.
"But no matter how difficult, I have to create it. Having a sword and not using it is different from not having a sword at all."
"I need a sword that will make both lords and original inhabitants wary."
Developing his territory through conventional methods of leveling up and defeating monsters wouldn’t be enough, just as it had been for him in the past. He needed to think outside the box to see the entire picture.
However, Qin Muye’s actions would definitely drain his resources, but it was better to be poor and alive than to be rich and dead.
"First, I need to create a container."
"Alchemy, elemental studies, magic studies, and enchantment studies. Yes, I also need forging studies."
"Modern materials science, physics, mathematics..."
Qin Muye, having made his decision, immediately began in-depth learning and research in the relevant fields.
Creating a sword that would shake the world wouldn’t be easy, especially since he was doing it alone. Even with his learning ability and academic research talents, it was no small feat.
