Lu Yao picked two plague beasts from the Knowing Monk, one specialised in creating droughts, and one with its own flooding characteristics.
After being cast into the [Ghost Realm], they didn’t know what was going on, and they didn’t look like they were causing chaos in the past at all.
The two Calamity Beasts quietly strolled in the mountains, they talked and laughed, enjoying a peaceful life in the new world with a Buddhist attitude.
Lu Yao couldn’t help but explode as he watched.
Blanch!
How come you all put down your butcher’s knives when you need your expertise!
Slow down.
Lu Yao noticed that both Calamity Beasts had the [Wisdom] trait.
Wisdom can suppress instincts.
Before, when the Calamity Beasts returned to the Yao Race World and started to continue to wreak havoc on the party, they did not have the ability to be wise.
The key variable was wisdom.
Lu Yao was a bit sad and happy.
The happy part was that the Knowing Monk had taught them well, and the Calamity Beasts were indeed able to cultivate and transform in the Cloud Temple, suppressing the influence of the power of the rules. They changed from instinctive beasts to self-aware controllers.
The sad thing was that right now they could not be put to any use.
Soon Lu Yao realised that the two Calamity Beasts still had their abilities.
They were together with each other to neutralise the Calamity Beast’s influence, and it was not yet visible that once they were slightly separated, both of them would still form damp and arid radiations to the surroundings.
So Lu Yao found their respective words in the background and wrote the corresponding commands.
The Calamity Beasts appeared, causing the flooded areas to quickly become dry and normal, and also restoring moisture and water to the water-starved and sandy zones.
They drew the attention and surveillance of the local apostles.
However, seeing that the Calamity Beasts were actually restoring the world, exclamation marks and question marks appeared on the heads of the three Apostle villains, who had obviously never seen this battle before.
Lu Yao took a glance.
The Apostles of the Psi-God, Buluo LV30, Hobald LV31.
King Bamboo Lu’s subordinates were a little stronger, Bamboo Man LV35.
The strength was sloppy.
Shiohisa quickly rushed to the side of the Calamity Beast.
He blocked in front of the Calamity Beasts and said to the Apostles, “They have Lord Yao God’s power of faith in them, this is sent by Yao God to help the Divine Kingdom.”
The three apostles looked at each other in disbelief.
The Calamity Beasts didn’t care that much, and just relied on their own abilities to pace around the disaster area in order to balance the disordered rules of the area.
The effect was even better than Lu Yao expected, and the floods and droughts in the hardest hit areas were greatly alleviated.
Lu Yao expressed his attitude of giving the two Calamity Beasts to the local area through Yanjiu.
Both Apostles of the Gods formally thanked him.
Then, the two plague beasts were placed by Yanjiu in the border area between the two countries, where the pillar of the Gravel World was located, and where Yanjiu lived on a daily basis.
The two Calamity Beasts were docile, they stayed quietly in their own mountain, not making any noise, polite and restrained, learning seven or eight parts of the know-it-all monk’s manner.
Having taken care of all this, Lu Yao returned his attention to Salt Long.
Initially, he had wanted to come to the Outer Divine Kingdom to stock up and introduce some local residents or endemic species.
After experiencing the Divine War and the Gravel Cannon Stopping War, his thoughts had changed.
Since these two god kingdoms would not be able to leave the Vortex World for quite some time, they should make good use of this opportunity to boldly engage in new attempts.
Salt Long had made the mistake of acting as a successful and reliable pioneer, laying a foundation for those who came after him.
Lu Yao decided to send more Yao Clan Transcendents over here for training.
This had two benefits.
One was that coming to the divine kingdoms of the other gods in the form of further training would allow Yao Clan martial cultivators to grow quickly, where they could challenge the Bamboo Beasts, Black Tombstones and Ghouls that were not found in the Yao Clan’s world.
Yanjiu’s rank was LV21 when he ascended, and after coming here for a few decades, it was raised to LV33, a growth rate that was hard to achieve in the Yao world.
Lu Yao knew when Isabelle dealt with the Corruptors that just letting a Transcendent deal with a certain type of opponent would soon enter a bottleneck and subsequently fail to gain advancement. A warrior who wanted to level up themselves quickly would need to challenge a large number of different powerful opponents.
Secondly, the Yao Race had officially set foot in the New World, and that was a direct dialogue between civilisations, as well as representing Lu Yao’s will formally entering this complex bipolar divine kingdom.
This followed up with a lot of room for manoeuvre.
For example, Lu Yao had an extremely bold long-term vision: using the Vortex World as the core, a small ecosystem of Gods would be constructed.
The Gods that obeyed the rules would have the opportunity to get on the train, and the divine kingdoms would be able to maintain restraint between themselves under the Vortex World restrictions.
Lu Yao doesn’t enter the Hall of Gods, but he also needs a moat. In the long run, it would be better to get a Vortex World’s Hall of Gods for himself and pull in some suitable Gods.
Of course this wasn’t easy and might not work out.
Let’s test the waters by starting with the Psi-Gods and the Bamboo Reed King.
Salt Long was the key start to all of this, he had gained the initial approval of the two Gods, and after spending decades in the Spectral Ghost World, he also had a base of trust from the local masses.
Lu Yao named this idea the “Wandering Yanjiu Project”, with the goal of using Yanjiu as an ambassador for the Yao Clan to make further contact with the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, exploring opportunities for in-depth civilisational exchanges, and ultimately turning some of the gods’ godly kingdoms into fixed worlds in the Ring Cluster, creating a brand new ecological cluster of gods with the Vortex World as its core.
……
The ideal was wonderful, but the reality was difficult.
Lu Yao observed that both the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom were very conservative in their style.
Before, the two countries had co-operated in order to better cope with major disasters, but once the problem was initially solved, they immediately retreated to their respective territories and maintained the attitude of “well water does not offend river water”.
They were not hostile to each other, but neither were they without follow-up exchanges and co-operation.
Both Gods were still healing their respective wounds.
Lu Yao decided to take his time.
The two god kingdoms had only just ended a tragic war, so it would be difficult for them to turn around and shake hands with a smile on their faces.
Luckily, this continuous bombardment had caused the three worlds to marvellously condense into one, which had saved Lu Yao a lot of fire of faith.
He was able to directly view the information of the three worlds in the background.
……
[Spectral Ghost World].
[Godhead]: Yes.
[Divinity]: Humble as a Gryphon (15025).
[Divine Body]: the Order of the Gods (60094).
……
[Bamboo Reed Kingdom].
[Godhead]: Yes.
[Divinity]: Humble as a mole (28324).
[God Body]: All Gods Order (99103).
……
[Gravel World Unnamed]
……
With the external god kingdoms coming to an end for now, Lu Yao was ready to further plough into the Yao Race World.
In the future, if he wanted to create a Rimworld Gods ecological cluster, then the Yao Race civilisation, as the core, had to remain strong and cohesive enough to continue influencing and radiating the other god kingdoms.
He hadn’t had time to pay close attention after this epochal change.
There was a new prompt in the simulator.
[Sinner Hai Fold has cultivated clay necromancers.]
[Hai Fold became a Legend.]
Lu Yao looked stunned.
He had thrown the ghostly Hai Fold into the abyss along with the Prison Ghost Armour, which was originally considered house arrest, and just like that Hai Fold was able to get into trouble?
Lu Yao clicked on the word.
The screen jumped to the abyss.
The grey first level had changed drastically.
There were many pits dug out here, and beside them there were little people of the Clay Clan guarding them, and a kind of brownish-yellow pixelated humanoid monster crawled out of the pits from time to time, which was precisely the Clay Corpse Demon.
……
Clay Ghoul LV44
Life: 1500/1500
Mana: 488/488
Damage: 40
Defence: 38
Speed: 13
[Carrion Eclipse
[Poison LV10]
[Earth Elemental]
[Self-destruct]
[Clay Ghoul]
A race formed by the fusion of the Clay Clan and the Ghouls. After self-detonation, the body fragments can be collected and reborn, and the rebirth effect depends on whether the fragments are intact or not.
……
Hai Fold commanded the Ghouls.
He was now clad in spectral armour and was addressing the many ghouls.
“Today, we will officially enter the second level and change from a defensive stance to an offensive phase.”
“According to the Clay Clan, there are very few monsters left on the second level, but we have to prepare for the worst.”
“There may be demigods on the second level, there may be curse worms! And once we meet up with them, there’s no way back, we must eliminate them. Otherwise the back of the first layer will be attacked endlessly.”
“Attack is the best defence.”
“That’s why we must take the initiative to go out, we can’t wait for the monsters below to attack and come up.”
“Before they launch their hunt, we will launch our hunt against them.”
“Fear is the best weapon! We will make the entire abyss hear our name and tremble in fear!”
Hai Fold raised his copper-armoured arm and said, “O valiant and fearless warriors, keep in mind that we are going to take the second level of the Abyss this time!”
“When we enter the next level, everything we see is prey, and the dead prey is the prey we want. Never let there be any slackness or fluke, let them see the terrifying power of the Corpse Demons!”
“For the great Yao God! The Sinner Legion advances!”
The Corpse Demons waved their fists, each excitedly chanting.
“For the great Yao God! Forward! Forward!”
Lu Yao was a bit dumbfounded.
What was this again?
They were going to counterattack the second level of the Abyss? There was a Star Ocean God there …… Even a thin camel is bigger than a horse.
This is really crazy.
But then again, he felt that Hai Fold was not the kind of egomaniac that would die for nothing.
Lu Yao decided to spectate first.
