Lu Yao opened the temple.
In the [Offering] slot is a glowing stone.
[Omnipotent Stone LV2]: basic material for forging treasures, rare mineral. Can be used for one-time upgrades of props below LV2.
The Deep Sea Fishman had actually found this?
Lu Yao thought for a second.
The Fishman Ancestor’s Undersea Wanderer held the [Deep Sea Stone Spirit], which was obtained from the bottom of the sea. The Stone Spirit breeds the Omnipotence Stone …… Then the true origin of the Omnipotence Stone could be the seabed.
In order to verify this speculation, Lu Yao asked Isabel to find Dinar.
This one was a survivor of the undead souls of the Undersea Wanderer clan and a remnant of the old times.
“Lord Apostle, the treasures of the Undersea Wanderer clan all come from the ocean. We were born in the sea and have been gifted and honoured by the sea.”
Dinar said, “It has been passed down from mouth to mouth by our ancestors that the first Sacred Round Tower was built from the World Stone.”
“It took the Undersea Wanderer clan a long time to collect the modest amount of worldstones.”
“The World Stones form the base of the entire world, and they are the strongest, most valuable and original treasures.”
“The treasures stored in the Sacred Round Tower were birthed by the original round tower.”
“After the Divine War, the God of Darkness destroyed all the Round Towers and took the World Stones, and the Undersea Wanderer clan was captured into the Abyss ……”
The Omni-Stone is not the World Stone.
According to Dinar, Omnipotence Stone had another name with them, called [Boundary Stone], and was usually used as a stone fence, archway and corridor to build the outer perimeter of the Sacred Round Tower.
Lu Yao listened in awe.
The Omnipotence Stone was really used as a stone, it was worthy of being an undersea tycoon.
After Isabel pressed, Dinar gave a detailed explanation.
“Boundary stones encase world stones. They are the outermost thick stone layer, which is itself a stone that attracts each other, and can be stripped out by simply placing them in the maelstrom.”
“It’s the little square piece of white stone inside that is the world stone.”
“The remaining edges are the Boundary Stones.”
The name Border Stone gave Lu Yao an idea.
He immediately typed for Isabelle to enquire.
“Yes, Lord Apostle!”
Dinar’s head popped up with exclamation marks.
He continued, “Boundary Stones were the first to be discovered. They grow at the bottom of the sea, and also near the world’s borders.”
“Boundary stones are found closest to the borders. It is only possible to have World Stones in a large number of Boundary Stones, and it took our clan many years to figure out the experience.”
Lu Yao had a prototype in his head.
Omnipotence Stones were both forging materials and strengthening props, but it was difficult to level them up.
Previously, the Level 10 Omnipotence Stone that the Wrecking Rasa God had exploded should have been more valuable in the eyes of the gods as well, so he hadn’t been able to use it.
And the World Stone derived from the Omnipotence Stone.
Both [Mirror of Fire Blaze] and [Deep Sea Stone Spirit] mentioned a sentence.
“A special substance formed by the power of rules cannot be strengthened.”
The essence of the World Stone was most likely a part of the power of rules.
Therefore, treasures formed from World Stones were not even on the same level as things created from Omnipotent Stones.
Lu Yao now finally knew the special features of these two props.
At the same time, he also had expectations for the Fishman clan.
Since there was the first Omnipotence Stone, then the second and the third would not be far away, he thought.
Lu Yao used this LV2 Omnipotence Stone to refine the [Traveller’s Boots].
A moment.
[Traveller’s Boots LV2]: +1/hour to Faith, +2 to Speed.
It was okay.
1 more point of speed.
After taking the fishman’s offering, Lu Yao remembered that he hadn’t given the believers a boon in a while. The last boon was still soy.
Although he was the boss behind the scenes, if he didn’t incentivise them regularly, the little people below him might lack motivation.
The working man’s view of work was simple and straightforward: give me a raise and a promotion, and you’re a good boss!
Lu Yao was deep in thought.
What else do the little people lack today?
The most basic human needs: food, clothing, shelter and transport.
Early human civilisation always had to revolve around basic needs.
Lu Yao’s eyes lit up.
That’s right.
I almost forgot about something that had pushed human history forward, the birth and development of which could be said to have changed the pattern of the world.
Lu Yao first searched for relevant information on the internet and confirmed that what he thought was generally correct.
He logged on to a certain treasure, found a local online shop, and then cycled all the way there to make the transaction in person.
After an hour, Lu Yao returned with a small bag of cotton seeds, and he clicked on the Yao City Shrine to complete the boon.
In the shrine, an exclamation mark lit up above Prophet Hemila’s head.
“The gods have sent down their well-being! A new boon has come to us!”
“Praise be to you, our Heavenly Father and Saviour, God Yao.”
She knelt on the ground reverently and bowed down to the idol.
Outside, the crowd had gone into ecstasy, with smiley symbols above each figurine.
“Cotton? The flower that grows around the gods.”
“The gods have answered our prayers!”
“The gift has come again, God Yao loves the world!”
“God, dear God, great God.”
“Yao Cheng is the firstborn son of the gods!”
“I hate that I’m only mortal, unable to be able to get close to the gods, unable to understand the gods …… O this God-given seed, give birth to never-before-seen sprites, fulfil my wishes one by one!”
“Make good use of these seeds, so that each of them can grow and mature, so that they will not fail the gods.”
It wasn’t long before the first batch of cotton planted by Yao Cheng began to spit and mature.
They wove a head ring with cotton and wore it on their heads, holding The Gospel …… in their hands to make the cotton into an ornament of theological significance.
Lu Yao looked a little helpless.
Cotton …… is not used in this way.
He switched his perspective and looked at Salt City.
The little people over there were equally excited about the boon.
“A flower given by the gods must be incomparably honourable.”
“As beautiful as gold, as brilliant as crystal, as crystalline as gems …… Ah, I can already smell that wonderful sea shell smell.”
“This world needs flowers, the gods have told us this. So, citizens, come and buy flowers from me! Fine flowers, yo!”
“What a beautiful full seed that will surely grow something marvellous.”
Cotton grew in the farmyard and became a natural, new-fangled commodity.
It didn’t take long for the little people of Salt Lake City to discover the secret of cotton – it was a better material than hemp and could be made into all kinds of dresses and hats.
As soon as they could, the farmers began to tinker with cotton, stuffing it into linen to make the earliest cotton clothes and quilts. Then they made cotton hats and trousers.
The crude but practical cotton products became the new favourite of Yancheng, and they were quickly transformed into important commodities for foreign export.
Lu Yao was relieved.
Since cotton began to be commercialised, driven by profit, Yancheng textile technology would eventually emerge.
When it comes to engaging in economics, it’s still Yancheng that’s a little bit sharper.
And at the same time, the ghost city Saniro.
The fish people were clumsily planting cotton seeds with the help of the ghosts.
But since it was a gift from the gods, they were trying very hard to learn about farming and planting.
This time, Lu Yao was certain of one thing.
The [Gift of Grace] would appear synchronously within all the shrines. All the pantheons shared the digestion period of the [Gift of Grace], and all of them had to thoroughly integrate the existing gift into the world before the next operation could take place.
A reminder appeared on the simulator at this point.
[Prophet Hemera has decided to make a pilgrimage.]
A pilgrimage?
Lu Yao looked a little puzzled.
Wasn’t she just at the Holy Land Temple? What more pilgrimage was needed?
