877 Surviving the Crisis
Li Xiang muttered to himself. Before he refined it, he had not expected the energy contained in the black meteorite fragment to be so enormous and shocking. It was even more powerful than the Yin Corpse he had fished up from the Netherworld river. The energy contained in it was richer, and the Origin Energy it had transformed into was even greater.
Obviously, this meteorite fragment was a treasure.
“No matter how precious the treasure is, it’s not as important as letting the tower advance and expand. It’s an accident. Let it swallow as much as it can. I just need to keep some of the most essential fragments. Anyway, this thing is big enough.”
When Li Xiang realized that the meteorite fragment might be a treasure, he subconsciously wanted to stop the tower from devouring them and keep the fragments. However, he immediately dismissed the thought. Compared to other treasures, the Tower of Stars was his foundation and natal treasure. It was an irreplaceable treasure that cultivated both his foundation and life. Only when the tower became stronger would he be truly powerful.
!!
Treasures were nothing compared to the Tower of Stars in front of him.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had spared no effort to support the tower all these years, how could it have the power it had today? Everything else was external, and only the Tower of Stars was the foundation.
He allowed the tower to quickly devour the power contained in the meteorite, leaving only the core essence of a few large pieces of meteorite fragments in the pagoda instead of absorbing and refining them. As for the rest, he would devour and refine them all. With this all-out devouring, the space within the tower began to expand again.
In just a few breaths, the space became even wider. Moreover, the barrier between heaven and earth was much tougher and more powerful. There was no power that could casually destroy the spatial barrier.
Six thousand kilometers, seven thousand kilometers, eight thousand kilometers…
With this expansion, when all the meteorite fragments were completely absorbed and refined, the entire space inside the tower reached a radius of more than 9,000 kilometers. For the space inside the tower, this was simply a change of heaven and earth.
The sky inside was higher, the earth thicker, the air fresher, and the laws more complete. This was simply a great fortune that had come knocking on his door.
“Good stuff. If there were more meteorites like this, the space inside the tower would be able to accumulate a huge amount of resources in the shortest amount of time. I don’t dare to think about upgrading to large worlds yet, but there is still hope for middle worlds!”
Li Xiang looked at the void with a hint of anticipation, waiting for the next meteorite to fall.
Unfortunately, the black vortex in the void had already disappeared without him noticing. It was obviously impossible to obtain another meteorite.
“Legend has it that a planet is an independent world. The meteorite was part of a world. Could it be that the power of the world was contained within it? Origin Energy of heaven and earth? Is that why the space inside the tower can expand?”
Li Xiang was a little disappointed as if he had lost something.
From the appearance of the meteorite to Li Xiang shattering and devouring it, it sounded like a long story, but in fact, it had happened in the blink of an eye.
The speed was so fast that no one could react in time. In the eyes of most people, it was just the tower forcefully smashing the meteorite into pieces. Then, the fragments were swallowed by the tower and disappeared. Nothing else was known.
Only those with high cultivation and sharp eyes knew how many terrifying attacks the divine light transformed from the tower had carried out during this period.
“Eh? There’s something! Look, there seems to be something inside the meteorite!”
“A black pearl. Could it be a treasure born from a meteorite?”
“It really is a pearl. How could a meteorite hide such a pearl? What treasure is this?”
At the same time, Li Xiang also noticed that when the meteorite was smashed into countless pieces, a black pearl was exposed from the inside of the meteorite.
The moment the black pearl appeared, it instinctively released a layer of black light, wanting to break through the air and escape into the distance.
The reaction speed of the pearl was fast, but it was not faster than Li Xiang’s reaction. With a thought, the pearl was suppressed under the tower and swallowed without hesitation.
There was no time to investigate the origin of this black pearl. Now was not the time to investigate.
“He survived such a crisis? It seems that the Kingdom of Dawn has truly become a kingdom!”
The Behemoth King took a deep look at the Kingdom of Dawn. He seemed to see a layer of yellow clouds gathering in the void.
He did not stay any longer and led the Orc Army to retreat.
If the meteorite really did cause serious damage to the Kingdom of Dawn, he wouldn’t mind turning around and killing them. However, it was clear that he was unwilling to fight in a lose-lose situation.
“Royal city!”
“Royal city, we are royal city now! The City of Dawn has really become the royal city!”
“This is great. As expected, with the Country Lord here, no matter how great the calamity is, it can be resolved. This will be a paradise for our Human race, a true Holy Land. Founding a country, advancing it to a royal city. Now is the time to establish a country. We must establish a country!”
“That’s right. Establish a country! Establish a country! We want to establish a country! ”
Countless civilians were filled with joy. This was the excitement of surviving a calamity. Similarly, the citizens began to call for the founding of the Kingdom of Dawn. Their voices grew louder and louder, and in an instant, they spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Dawn.
The will to establish a country was already unstoppable.
Even the civilians and soldiers who had just arrived from the Golden Desert were shouting.
They didn’t expect that they would encounter such a big event that would be passed down through the ages when they just arrived in the Kingdom of Dawn. Founding a country was a major event that might not happen once in a lifetime. It was a major event that determined the direction of countless people and even the Human race.
At this moment, their hearts were burning with passion.
They yearned to have a home, to rebuild a country that belonged to the Human race, and even to be civilized. They were no less than anyone else, and they instinctively felt a strong sense of belonging to the Kingdom of Dawn.
In an instant, the people’s hearts were naturally attached to the Kingdom of Dawn.
Li Xiang himself had also obtained a huge amount of power of faith in this short period.
When the power of faith reached a certain amount, it could be converted into Divine Power.
Unfortunately, he was unable to condense divine fire or divinity. He had only comprehended a dozen or so nomological laws, and most of them were not deep.
Therefore, even though he wanted to convert the massive amount of power of faith into Divine Power, he was unable to do so for the time being. He could only store it in the Starlight Shrine.
Originally, due to the luck-turning Wyrm, it opened up the Heaven Lake of Luck. Due to luck turning, the Luck Water in Heaven Lake was very rare. Now that the people’s morale was gathered, the speed at which luck was being generated began to increase rapidly, more than doubling from before.
There was no one who did not wish to have a home and a country. This would make them feel that they were a complete race, a civilization, and had a place to belong. They were not lonely ghosts.
“Alright, since everyone is looking forward to it, then today, we shall establish a country!”
