Chapter 684: Chapter 378: Conquering Resource World, A Windfall (Part 2)
Yes, although Shen Yu’s soul seems to have split infinitely, the proportion of the soul possessed by Main Body Shen Yu is less than one in ten thousand. It cannot obtain all the power, ability, and status from those Shen Yu instances that act as the main body, but only a part.
Yet this part can still provide significant assistance.
Thus, the proposal of interstellar world Shen Yu received unanimous agreement from everyone.
This can indeed further enhance the Twelfth Realm combat capabilities within the Association.
The Great Wind Empire would never anticipate the enormous assistance the Resource World could provide to the Association, which possesses the Gray Mist Space.
It is no exaggeration to say that these resources, in terms of realm advancement, are indeed the Gray Mist!
However, it is a bit regrettable that the total amount of Gray Mist obtained from conquering this world this time isn’t considerable.
Logically speaking, since the Tower World is destined to be destroyed by the Great Wind Empire, any actions that weaken the Great Wind Empire should be able to earn a considerable amount of Gray Mist from the Association.
But in practice, obtaining the Resource World in the end is not directly saving the Tower World, but indirectly.
It’s feared that most of the Gray Mist acquired now is based on killing or weakening part of the personnel of the Great Wind Empire.
Yet the harvest this time is already quite substantial.
Next, the Great Wind Empire and the Association seem to have fallen into a kind of strange calm.
The Association has completely occupied the Resource World and is working promptly on developing, restoring, and defending the Resource World.
Every day, a large quantity of resources is transported from the Resource World to various worlds of the Association.
Allowing everyone within the worlds of the Association to clearly feel.
For instance, the direct decline in resource prices.
In the world of Main Body Shen Yu, a young person from a relatively poor family who can only rely on himself for cultivation, can also obtain cultivation resources nearly three to four times more than before through his part-time jobs and the support of civilization.
This will undoubtedly accelerate his cultivation speed significantly.
Moreover, this advancement is not just at the lower levels; even some strong individuals with certain realms and social status can obtain opportunities for rare resources far greater than before.
"Regardless of the civilization, the support effect of economic development on civilization development is equally immense," Shen Yu simply surveyed, naturally able to see what vitality these resources brought to the development of civilization.
Looking back at the avatar side, it’s completely the opposite.
With the loss of the Resource World, resource prices within the Great Wind Empire rose, entering a full-scale surge.
Under the effect of panic, it even soared to dozens of times higher than before.
The resource gap is naturally not that large.
However, everyone understands that as long as the Resource World is not reclaimed, the shortage of resources will persist.
Therefore, naturally, there will be many who hoard goods.
Some hoard goods to secure their future cultivation, while others simply aim for profit.
This situation continued until the Emperor intervened, using absolute authority to forcibly suppress prices and utilized the empire’s resource reserves to ensure supply as before, thus temporarily resolving it.
But virtually everyone within the Great Wind Empire understands that although the Emperor’s supreme status can suppress the destruction brought by people’s panic, it cannot conjure resources out of thin air.
To maintain people’s past resource usage levels, either fully develop new resource areas, or wrest the Resource World back.
The former is being carried out but won’t yield results short-term.
The latter has become a top priority.
Thus, the Great Wind Empire has begun an unabashed full-scale military preparation!
It not only mobilized permanent legions, but also fully recalled the reserve forces of the whole civilization, and even sent out recruitment orders to every world under the empire’s management, essentially telling everyone that there is about to be a major war.
At the same time, the empire’s intelligence tentacles have also begun to fully infiltrate the Resource World.
Before this, facing the Tower World, when the Great Wind Emperor was still in retreat, the Great Wind Empire indeed lacked means.
Unable to quickly analyze the World Laws for infiltration and intelligence control.
However, this is completely different when facing the Resource World.
The Great Wind Empire has ultimately been in the Resource World for thousands of years, such a long time, not to say fully controlling all Laws of the Resource World, at least it’s well-understood.
World barriers pose no defense to them.
Not requiring any special means, the Great Wind Empire’s reconnaissance personnel and intelligence personnel can easily infiltrate.
Even the Association finds it difficult to stop without massively deploying the Gray Mist.
The Celestial Dao Tree also cannot fully control the Laws of such a powerful world in such a short time and construct a barrier on the Law level.
Therefore, this intelligence defense war can only rely on numerous intelligence personnel.
"Compared to before, using loopholes, utilizing Gray Mist Space for intelligence reconnaissance, this time is a true intelligence war," Shen Yu even specially convened a meeting for this and emphasized the importance of this intelligence war at the meeting, "We all know how we captured the Resource World, and if we lose it in the same manner, it would only mean that without the advantage built by Gray Mist Space, we are nothing!"
These are very heavy words.
Even causing everyone’s hearts to tighten.
Shen Yu’s words are already clear, that they should use this resource war to test the actual combat capability of the Association.
"Of course, I am not against using the Gray Mist," Shen Yu continued, "but we must have a clear understanding of our own abilities. If there is any deficiency, while using the Gray Mist, we must also strive to make up, not becoming a power that can only rely on the Gray Mist Space to battle!"
"Understood!" all Shen Yu responded in unison.
Intersellar world Shen Yu immediately looked at Cultivator Shen Yu, Wizard Shen Yu, and several other core Shen Yu, and said solemnly: "I believe we need to establish a formal intelligence agency under the Association, named ’Member Alliance Intelligence Department,’ drawing suitable intelligence personnel from various worlds, while consolidating technical means and continuously upgrading them."
Before this, the Association indeed lacked such departments.
It wasn’t that they didn’t realize the need to establish one, but temporarily there was no requirement.
After all, the Battlefield of All Heavens is different from world within conflicts, in this All Heavens World, nothing is surprising.
Usually, it’s finding someone suitable to fulfill a need.
In this situation, there really isn’t a need for a specifically established department; a closed meeting of the committee, adding a little Gray Mist, can solve most problems.
But if it’s clear about one’s capabilities, such a department becomes necessary.
Concentrating resources, abilities, and techniques altogether, strengths and weaknesses become apparent.
Thus, the proposal by interstellar world Shen Yu received unanimous agreement from everyone.
Ultimately, Cultivator Shen Yu was chosen as the inaugural leader of this department.
Intersellar world Shen Yu and Wizard Shen Yu are ultimately more inclined toward technological development, and most other Shen Yu have their own civilization’s affairs requiring long-term management, leaving only Martial Artist Shen Yu and Cultivator Shen Yu truly free.
Between the two, Cultivator Shen Yu volunteered, and it was decided.
