Chapter 683: Chapter 378: Conquering the Resource World, a Bountiful
However, Shen Yu was well aware.
In this Resource World, almost all the locations of the celestial ships were thoroughly investigated by the Association.
Perhaps only a few secret places remained unspecified.
However, the ships in these secret locations were beyond the knowledge of these "ordinary second-generation" people.
Even Shen Yu’s avatar might not know.
But just shortly after they were preparing to depart, Shen Yu’s avatar, uniquely connected to the Great Wind Empire, suddenly received a message.
It was astonishingly a secret coordinate of a celestial ship’s location.
It required him not to alarm or inform anyone else, to go alone; otherwise, he wouldn’t be allowed to board the ship.
"It seems I still have some standing in the Great Wind Empire." Shen Yu’s lips curled slightly as he quietly left the current team.
He didn’t intend to directly let the Association take away the hidden celestial ship.
After all, it was evident that there would be many hidden ships in the entire Resource World, specifically used to transport important figures and resources in dangerous situations.
At the same time, it was also a kind of investigative screening behavior.
To see if there were any "traitors" among those being taken away.
In this situation, those who could successfully be taken away would undoubtedly go through rigorous examinations, and once passed, they would be more trusted.
"Perhaps this avatar can still play a more crucial role," Shen Yu pondered, following the arrangement of the Great Wind Empire.
Meanwhile, the Association’s invasion was growing more intense.
A considerable number of powerful Association members, who had captured their primary objectives in a short time, shifted directions to assist with other tasks.
With sufficient intelligence and preparation, in no time, the supposedly "tight defense" of the Great Wind Empire in the entire Resource World collapsed as swiftly as an avalanche.
No longer possessing any resistance.
In fact, based on intelligence received by the Association, the Great Wind Empire’s support troops, which were initially meant to prepare for swift reinforcements, quickly abandoned their support after understanding the current state of the Resource World.
Clearly, the opponent was not an impulsive force.
With the Resource World already in enemy hands, hastily assembled troops, without additional support, particularly intelligence support, would find it challenging to reclaim the Resource World and might even suffer greater losses.
Under such circumstances, the Association needed only about two-thirds of the expected time to completely take over the entire Resource World.
Some resource warehouses not taken by the enemy remained.
"Inventory the resource spoils of the entire world in the shortest possible time," Shen Yu promptly ordered.
As inventory reports from various locations came in, many members of the Association’s faces lit up with joy.
This Resource World was indeed as expected, enriched to an astonishing degree through careful planning from the Second Trial and natural growth over hundreds of millions of years.
It was enough to support the power growth of a vast force like the Great Wind Empire.
But it didn’t stop there.
Upon acquiring this world, the Great Wind Empire didn’t plunder it wantonly.
They equally understood that the most precious aspect of such a Resource World wasn’t the resources amassed over hundreds of millions of years but the Resource World itself.
This was a twelfth-tier advanced world specifically designed from the Law level for resource cultivation!
It inherently represented a massive, continuous resource output.
Moreover, the resources covered most of the systems existing in All Heavens.
Thus, the Great Wind Empire further invested in this world.
They integrated multiple worlds, expanded the number of resource planets in some worlds, set up fully automated production lines, and even made some changes at the Law level, adding a minority of "workers" under supervision, like Flower Fairies, who had labor engraved into their species’ cognition.
This series of actions resulted in what the Association faced, not just a Resource World, but a massive resource production world.
The resource output even exceeded the current needs of the entire Association World several times over!
Remember, the Association World was also constantly developing.
This scale was imaginable.
Besides the harvest in scale, the quality was equally astounding.
Here, quality referred solely to resources related to the twelfth tier!
That was precisely what the Association urgently lacked now.
Bear in mind, the first world discovered by the Association to reach such a level was the Tower World.
However, as a "population and force breeding" world, the resources in the Tower World were truly not abundant.
Most of it consisted of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
After all, with clearly set "Dao Fruit," the Tower World didn’t require genuinely elevating the life level of those powerful High Tower Adventurers, simply boosting their Extraordinary ranks was sufficient.
Under such conditions, the value of this Resource World became more prominent.
"With these resources, we only need to consume a minimal amount of Gray Mist to add highly superior level powerhouses to the Association," interstellar world Shen Yu suggested, "Perhaps we could use these resources on other lower-percentage soul Shen Yus. Although they cannot inherit all our powers, they can inherit some, and their power boost can, in return, benefit our entire group to some extent."
