Guo Jia shook his head slightly. He knew about the existence of the Phaseless Soldier Tower, so he was not talking about the soldiers.
“So what do you mean?”
Mei Changge raised his eyebrows slightly, but his eyes quickly lit up.
“Are you talking about the martial artists?” Mei Changge asked Guo Jia curiously.
“Yes and no.”
Guo Jia smiled and said again, “Currently, most of the people in the Green Lotus Territory have become stronger. Although most of them haven’t reached the Innate realm, not all foreign races are born in the Innate or Transcendent realm.”
“Furthermore, a large number of martial artists have surged in from the Great Song. They are not very weak.”
Hearing Guo Jia’s words, Mei Changge instantly understood his thoughts.
The citizens of the Green Lotus Territory had already embarked on the path of cultivation. This was also Mei Changge’s original plan.
However, Mei Changge had never thought of letting the commoners guard the Great Xia’s Dark Wall. However, after Guo Jia mentioned it, he suddenly felt that this idea was very good.
However, he still needed some rules.
“Feng Xiao, before Xu Ding comes back, make a preliminary decision. When Xu Ding brings back the news, we can try your suggestion.”
Mei Changge nodded gently. He agreed with this matter. The commoners who had embarked on the path of cultivation were not ordinary people.
Furthermore, the foreign races had all kinds of items in their hands. Those things were very popular on Star Web. Some commoners would probably be interested in them.
Buzzzzz!
Not long after the two of them conversed, heavy footsteps sounded outside the Dark Forest Wall.
“The foreign races are here!”
Mei Changge sensed the aura coming from beyond the Dark Forest Wall and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Those auras came from the foreign races in No Man’s Land, and they were about to arrive under the Great Xia’s Dark Wall.
Mei Changge looked down the wall with a serious expression. Then, he looked at Song Yubai, who was not far away, and gestured for him to be prepared.
The Red Lotus soldiers were different from two months ago. Although many of them had just become soldiers, most of them had entered Innate Level 3 or
Level 4.
These soldiers who had entered Innate Level 3 or Level 4 were basically veterans. They had experienced the stargates and some had trained in the Phaseless Soldier Tower.
As for those who had just become Red Lotus soldiers, the strongest had already entered Postnatal Level 9 or Innate Level 1.
For them, entering this realm was also a result of the advancement of the Red Lotus soldiers. However, not everyone was exceptionally talented. Even though the Red Lotus soldiers had reached Grade 6, there were still some soldiers who had not entered the Innate realm.
During this period of time, other than placing Red Lotus in the soldier pool, Mei Changge also added points to the treasures in the Blessed Land. In an instant, all the treasures in Mei Changge’s hands had basically reached Grade 6.
After all, if he were to advance his Blessed Land to Grade 5, he needed a Lotus Treasure. The rest of the destiny points were added to other treasures.
This also created a balance between Mei Changge’s treasure and the Blessed Land. It was not to the extent that the other treasures were still Grade 8 or Grade 9.
Overall, it could be considered a sublimation of his foundation.
Furthermore, as the citizens of the Great Song integrated into the Green Lotus Territory, his destiny points were still increasing.
Mei Changge estimated that when all the people of the Great Song integrated into the Green Lotus Territory, the destiny points in his hands would increase to about four to five million again.
Of course, this did not exclude the possibility of adding more treasures.
For example, the Desert Manual and Heart of Golden Sand in the Hidden Star Pavilion.
Mei Changge had a feeling that he would eventually use them.
“Constellation Tool!”
Mei Changge looked at the foreign races that had begun to appear under the Dark Wall. His eyes flickered slightly. Then, he took out a treasure he had obtained from the Blue Star Academy.
This Grade 9 treasure could affect the weather.
As he did not use or add points, it would still be at Grade 9. However, now that he was in control of the Dark Wall, it was time to use it.
Constellation Tool
Grade: 9
Introduction: Controls the weather (within 0.6 miles)
Mei Changge looked at the destiny points on his interface.
As the people of the Great Song were still integrating into the Green Lotus Territory, the destiny points kept increasing.
Upgrading the Dark Wall consumed 100,000 points and he still had more than 50,000 destiny points.
Among them, 30,000 points were left after upgrading the Dark Wall, but his destiny points increased by another 20,000.
It should be because more than 20,000 citizens had integrated into the Green Lotus Territory again.
Upgrading from Grade 9 to Grade 8 required 1,000 points.
Upgrading from Grade 8 to Grade 7 required 10,000 points.
However, upgrading from Grade 7 to Grade 6 required a total of 50,000 or even 100,000 points.
Mei Changge discovered that some treasures might require 50,000 points to upgrade to Grade 6, while others require 100,000 points. It was not a very clear number.
It might be related to the ability of the treasure.
For example, when the Green Cloud Palace in the Blessed Land advanced from Grade 7 to Grade 6, it consumed 100,000 destiny points.
As for the rest, such as the Spirit Bone Tower, it only required 50,000 points.
The two were different.
The Constellation Tool was the same as the Green Cloud Palace. If he wanted to upgrade it to Grade 6, he needed 100,000 destiny points.
“Let’s upgrade it to Grade 7 first!”
Mei Changge glanced at his interface. While he anticipated gaining another five million destiny points soon, he currently only possessed 50,000 points. With this amount, he could only upgrade the Constellation Tool to Grade 7 for the time being.
The Constellation Tool was a spherical treasure about the size of a human head. It looked like a blue crystal ball with a faint blue glow.
To put it more accurately, it was a little similar to the globe that Mei Changge had seen before.
However, there were no continental plates. They were all light blue like an ocean.
“Add more points!”
With a thought, Mei Changge added 11,000 destiny points.
Blue light bloomed from the Constellation Tool, but it quickly disappeared.
Constellation Tool
Grade: 7
Introduction: Controls celestial phenomena (Mist, ice, snow, torrential rain, violent winds) (Controls an area of up to 3 miles)
Seeing the introduction of the Constellation Tool again, Mei Changge’s eyes lit up. He did not expect that after advancing it to Grade 7, the range of control would directly increase to 3 miles. More importantly, he would have a clearer choice of the weather.
“Not bad.”
A smile appeared on Mei Changge’s face. Soon after, he held the Constellation Tool with both hands and his consciousness shifted.
A breeze began to blow, but it quickly disappeared again.
“The Dark Wall needs thick fog!”
Mei Changge tested the Constellation Tool and realized that the controlled phenomenon could still distinguish between friend and foe. This was more in line with his thoughts.
Even Guo Jia, who was beside him, didn’t feel the breeze he created just now, which meant that the weather was controllable.
As his thoughts appeared, wisps of faint fog appeared on the Dark Wall.
“My lord, is there fog?”
Guo Jia asked with a puzzled expression.
After all, the fog was different from the breeze. The fog could be seen with the naked eye.
“Huh? I clearly saw fog, but why can I still see my surroundings clearly?”
Guo Jia furrowed his brows as he observed the thickening fog, clearly perplexed by the unusual environment. However, when he noticed the light blue item held in Mei Changge’s hand, he immediately grasped the situation.
Soon, wisps of fog surged out from the Dark Wall and began to surge down.
“This is the protection of a treasure. It can obstruct the vision of the foreign races. Soldiers, don’t panic.”
At that moment, Mei Changge spoke again, making Song Yubai and the Red Lotus soldiers look delighted.
That was because they realized that the thick fog did not block their vision.
This was akin to blindfolding the enemy, providing a vantage point akin to that of a god.
“Red Prison Array, suppress!”
Song Yubai quickly made a decision and led the Red Lotus soldiers to activate the formation. A red lotus flower materialized within the fog, creating a peculiar and enchanting spectacle between the two opposing forces.
Unfortunately, the foreign races’ vision was blocked by the fog, and did not notice this situation.
“What’s going on?! Why is there suddenly such a thick fog?!”
“I’m not sure, but I can’t even see the Dark Wall clearly now. Boss Kui Yuan, should we continue attacking?”
Under the Dark Wall, the group of Mandrill race members looked at the fog and did not know what was going on.
“Send a few members to assess the situation. If things appear unfavorable, retreat!”
Kui Yuan gazed at the spreading fog with a solemn expression, his eyes fixed on the original position of the Dark Wall.
At that moment, the Dark Wall that had been clearly visible earlier was now completely obscured from view.
In such a situation, he did not dare to advance rashly. He could only send a few members from the Mandrill race to investigate the situation.
Six Mandrill race members charged into the thick fog. However, Kui Yuan quickly realized there was no movement at all. The few Mandrill race members who had gone to investigate never returned.
“Retreat!”
Kui Yuan’s eyes were stern as he commanded.
He wasn’t a fool. It was evident that the thick fog was a trap. Otherwise, the Mandrill scouts he had sent out would have returned by now.
“My lord, those foreign races seem to have retreated!”
On the Dark Wall, Guo Jia said with a solemn expression as he watched the Mandrill race retreat.
If these foreign races had launched a full-scale attack, they wouldn’t be afraid. However, they had only dispatched a few scouts and immediately ordered a retreat. This made Guo Jia’s heart sink slightly.
He wasn’t afraid of the enemy being stupid; he was afraid that the enemy had brains.
“Mandrill race!”
Mei Changge looked at the figure that had fallen into the Red Prison Array and said solemnly.
The Mandrill race was a prominent race in the forest, and he didn’t expect to encounter them again so quickly.
One had to know that Mei Changge had almost died at the hands of a Mandrill member back then. He recalled the black palm print with a solemn expression.
“My lord, are you saying that those foreign races are called the Mandrill race?
Are they related to the Forest race?”
When Guo Jia heard Mei Changge’s words, he could not help but ask.
“That’s right. The Mandrill race is a higher race than the Forest race. There’s a huge difference between the two.”
Mei Changge nodded.
“My lord, looks like it won’t be that easy to expand the Green Lotus Territory!”
