Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 685: Taikoo Pillar joins the partnership and the intercontinental railway is connected to the network

Probably because I hadn't communicated with others for a long time, the voice was stumbling and intermittent, like a bad signal, and it was difficult for me to express my meaning clearly.

That kind of "master temperament" that can see through people's hearts also disappeared in these very uncomfortable stutterings!

Byron and Violet had experienced so many intrigues that they originally thought they were lured by the seemingly innocent Ariel beside them and mistakenly entered the enemy's encirclement, where they almost got killed seven times in a row.

In the material world at this time, no matter what enemy they face, they have the confidence to fight back.

Unfortunately, by the time they heard what the female voice said, even their stress reactions had already subsided.

Byron tapped his waist, which was almost sprained, imperceptibly, and tried to communicate with the other party in his heart:

"Are you the 'Great Mother' of the Pantianhu will that permeates the entire ancient pillar?
Miss Ariel doesn't know that we are outsiders, but you probably discovered us when we first landed on this continent, right?
But you can rest assured that in the next flood, we are not going to escape, but will do our best to save the entire world. There is absolutely no need to cut off your trunk.

In fact, we didn’t even know you existed before today.”

This [world's largest creature], whose size is equivalent to the entire continent of 897 million square kilometers, has a very long reaction time.

The normal conduction velocity of human nerves is generally between 25-200m/s, and the specific speed depends on the type and state of the neuron.

If we change to this plant that doesn't even have any nerve signals, you can imagine how difficult it is for it to think.

Byron waited for a minute or two before he heard a response from the other party.

The gentle female voice was filled with a sigh of relief, and was as straightforward and innocent as those forest giants:

"You are very powerful, and you have another kind of network existence that is not inferior to mine. The girl next to you is also full of some kind of explosive and fire aura.

I may not be your opponent.

In fact, as early as the Paleozoic Era, my trunk, which is the "ancient pillar" in the center of this continent, was cut down by Echidna and Lilith and made into an ark.

There is no other trunk available that can carry god-level passengers. If you want one, you can only go to Echidna.

By the way, you have not received any favor from me. You don’t need to call me ‘Great Mother’. You can just call me by my name, Nova.”

Then, the forest giant Ariel next to him seemed to have heard some orders. She bowed respectfully to Byron and retreated with his entourage.

She handed the two leading guests over to the "mother" who was omnipotent in her mind.

Seeing this, Byron and Violet simply sat down on the grass at their feet and started chatting with this person who seemed very friendly.

With just a few short sentences, they confirmed once again that this continent still retains its ancient heritage and that the people from top to bottom are very simple and honest.

There is no complex social division of labor and ubiquitous hidden competition here, and the primary industries of gathering, planting and breeding are still the absolute mainstay.

The pace of life is very slow, and there has not been much change over the past tens of millions of years. The level of civilization is at most equivalent to the Bronze Age.

Coupled with the very closed geographical environment, it is a bit like a paradise full of pastoral idyll.

Of course, if outsiders think that the locals are simple-minded and easy to bully, they are absolutely wrong!
The air was filled with a powerful biological force field similar to the law network. Although the signal was not very good, its size was so large that it easily crossed the threshold of the sixth level.

This Nova's authority in the Ancient Pillar is greater than that of the former Pope and now Byron in the Silver Continent.

Taking advantage of the face-to-face meeting with the "great mother" Nova, Byron finally read the secrets from her that he could not read from a climbing tiger.

If one of the countless climbing tiger vines was taken out individually, it would definitely be just an ordinary demonized plant, and even the [Ship's Log] would not show any abnormality.

But when tens of millions or even billions of them gather together, like those nerve fibers that originally have no meaning, they together form a "brain" in another sense - Nova.

The most amazing thing is that Nova is not some powerful supernatural creature, nor is she a vicious sixth-order old god.

But it is just an ordinary demonized plant, and its real extraordinary rank is only the first level, not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

The reason why it was able to live for tens of millions of years was that it survived two great floods.

It is only because it has achieved immortality through the self-renewal and iteration of its biological tissues, just like the immortal jellyfish, which will never die of old age.

It is equivalent to being born with the "Ladder to Immortality" and does not need to practice as hard as ordinary people.

In addition, the characteristic of floating wood is "unsinkable".

Even in the air, it can drag rocks with it into the sky, and it will never drown in the water.

No matter how big the flood is, it can float easily.

This allowed it to survive on this remote and vast continent from the Paleozoic Era to the Mythological Era, and from the Mythological Era to the entire Silver Age.

Five hundred years is spring, and five hundred years is autumn.

Theoretically, even if all people disappeared under the sea with the flood, it could continue to live leisurely as a low-sequence extraordinary creature.

At the same time, he finally confirmed that in the Paleozoic Era, matriarchal gods such as Echidna and Lilith had lived here for quite a long time.

Byron was very interested in what had happened here.

“Ms. Nova, why would the old gods of the Paleozoic Era break with you?
If they still maintained their friendship with you, perhaps they would not have been drowned so easily during the last turn of the era."

Nova's voice became a little lonely:
"You said that we were very good friends at the beginning.

Long, long ago, Echidna was just a demonic serpent, Lilith was a demonic bat, and Sananus was an oak tree.

Together, we discovered the signs of the coming flood.

But when I told them that I wanted to help all the creatures on this continent survive the flood, everything changed."

The matter is not complicated. The ideological dispute between it and the gods is just like the previous ideological dispute between the three human gods and the gods, and between Orthodoxy and Byron. One is the escape faction and the other is the conservative faction.

The difference is that the first time the escape faction won, and it was almost killed; the second time the conservative faction won, and the Creator has persisted until now; the third time the conservative faction won a small victory, and Byron has just gained dominance over the human world.

Nova is clearly a gentle giant.

After the main trunk was cut off, it did not die. After realizing that the flood would come again, it came up with a bold idea - to break up into pieces and parasitize the entire ancient pillar continent!
The fundamental reason why all gods and mythical creatures died completely under the flood was the existence of the "triplet point".

The sea of ​​humanity's collective subconsciousness forms continents with faith as the bond, floating on the sea of ​​source matter. Minority groups are like small islands, banding together to resist the tides of source matter.

The Sea of ​​Essence has always been invading the material world from the spiritual world. As long as the creatures in the material world awaken their spirituality, they will passively establish connection with the Sea of ​​Essence.

Therefore, all extraordinary beings and creatures with spiritual talents cannot escape, but those lower-level mortals may not be affected.

Once they lose its protection, the extraordinary species on this continent will be doomed.

If it could parasitize an entire continent, then when the next flood comes, it might be able to float up along with the home where it has lived for tens of millions of years and the children who live on it.

From then on, it only focused on doing this one thing, and the floating islands everywhere on the continent were the result of its work over millions of years.

By now, the huge body has already occupied all the nodes of the earth veins.

Just like how mortals in the human world can exert the strength of the fifth level after receiving the [Title of King], combined with the ability of the title of [The Largest Creature in the World].

It is clearly only of the first rank, but as long as it is on this continent, it possesses a natural status, equivalent to the ecosystem itself, and possesses power comparable to that of a powerful demigod.

And the best way to prevent grass from growing in the field is to plant crops.

It is precisely because of the protection of Nova, the ancient being, that the "Spiritual Extreme" of the Ancient Pillar is actually safer than the East Continent, and there are not many dangerous world cracks.

When Nova said this, she sighed deeply:

“Unfortunately, I thought things were too simple.

During the expansion process, I also encountered serious problems myself.

Parasite Continent's plan to turn it into another ark may ultimately fail, which is beyond my ability.

No matter how big I am, I am just a vine."

Byron and Violet did not interrupt, but continued to listen in silence.

The main body of the climbing tiger is the medium that integrates the ecosystems of algae, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms, and even fungi, and represents almost all the "producers" on this continent.

She is indeed the "mother" who provides for all living things!
However, this expansion also exacerbated the chaos within the system. Different species have completely different habits, and its business was too big, so consciousness had long been showing a tendency to gradually split.

It has become another form of prisoner, and its situation is not much better than that of the Creator.

This signal delay and lag is one of the signs of cracking.

Now, not only is Nova's consciousness too vast and her thinking very slow, but there is also little coordination between different areas.

In addition, the ecosystem surrounded by the sea is very isolated, causing the evolution of species here to be more than ten times slower than that in the outside world. The lack of "variables" has further exacerbated the trend of cracking.

The first-level demonized plant Pan Tianhu will still be alive, but it is likely that it will no longer be the dominant consciousness in the future.

Nova is very open-minded about life and death, and until now she only feels regret for her duties:

"If you hadn't come now, I would have split apart myself before I had to wait for decades until the Luoyan Era.

I don’t know if my consciousness can continue to exist between the different parts after it splits and protect this ancient land during the flood.”

Violet was more emotional. After listening to the story of this vine's unswerving loyalty for millions of years, her eyes misted over.

I couldn't help but pull Byron's sleeve, reminding him to help Ms. Nova as soon as possible.

Byron had the same idea.

Although he found this lady a bit irritating, the time it took her to take her last breath was longer than the number of years he had lived so far.

Ordinary humans would never see the day when this [world's largest creature] splits apart. But Byron couldn't bear to see his comrade-in-arms fall down before the battle even started.

He slapped his thigh and jumped up from the ground, showing Nova the French Open anchored on his body:

“Isn’t this a coincidence?

The three continents on the other side of this planet are actually making the same preparations as you, except that we are using the three major law networks, and the raw materials are the human mind and will, you see."

The amount of information transmitted by telepathy was enormous. Byron clearly showed Nova the structure and effects of the silver, gold, and bronze laws.

The legal network and Pan Tianhu's life field do have a lot in common.

After Nova saw it, the blue light marks around her flashed much faster.

Byron continued, “I think when the Creator developed the legal network, he might have borrowed your wisdom.

If you can expand to the other three continents, and the law network of the other three continents can expand here, and the two swords merge, then our deep sea defense line will definitely be able to protect the entire material world!"

Regardless of whether the creator borrowed from it or not, let’s just give it a compliment first.

Whether we can use diplomacy to get this ancient being to join us this time depends entirely on this.

Byron clearly felt the other party's intention and knew what it was worried about, so he took out his ultimate weapon - [Truth Embodiment·Holy Spear of Origin]!
“As we all know, the forbidden knowledge systems of the old gods originally came from activated knowledge.

The main reason why you failed to become an Old God is not only because you are too big and it is difficult for a big ship to turn around, but also because you failed to find the commonalities between different organisms and different ecosystems in the microscopic world.

It just so happens that our 'Origin Holy Lance School' focuses on studying humans and non-humans, breaking through the barriers in the collective subconscious ocean of all organisms.

Theoretically, this holy spear can already connect to the collective subconscious of all races, and in the future it may even be possible to integrate the power of the entire biosphere and achieve the highest level of gathering.

It can completely solve the problems you are facing.”

As Byron spoke, he handed the holy spear, which had already eaten two pieces of the Spear of Longinus and had greatly increased its power, to a vine that was slowly stretching out.

Nova felt the knowledge contained in it and threw it back decisively.

A flash of lightning passed by, and the Holy Spear of Origin was deeply inserted into the ancient tree stump that had turned into a fossil.

In the night sky, all the vines of the tiger trees on the entire continent were shining brightly.

The various ecosystems connected by them each burst into colorful spiritual light, and finally rushed towards the main trunk and the Holy Spear of Origin.

call--!
The spiritual wind blew stronger and stronger, and [Holy Spear of Origin] suddenly took root and sprouted, grafting onto the dead tree stump, and then in just a few breaths it grew into a tree hundreds of meters tall.

It is just a tiny thing compared to the original tree stump, but it represents the rebirth of Pan Tianhu!
Flowers and fruits quickly bloomed on a branch at the top of the tree, and finally a large translucent red fruit cracked open, and a beautiful lady with a naked white body jumped out of it.

Just like Amon, a natural born son of God, he just integrated his own power and was promoted from a first-level demonized plant to a fifth-level in one step.

And as long as you stay on this land, you can get the sixth-level bonus like Byron.

Countless creatures across the continent spontaneously knelt in this direction.

"Ouch."

"twitter."

The light gradually faded, revealing Nova's new look.

She wore a crown of wreaths on her head, and her thick green hair trailed to the ground.

Her figure revealed the plump and charming figure of a mature woman, with slender branches and fruits, but her eyes were full of the innocence of a deer. She walked straight towards Byron and Violet so openly.

It wasn’t until she noticed Violet quickly jumped up and covered Byron’s eyes, as well as the clothes they were wearing, that she tilted her head and thought for a moment.

With a wave of her hand, the grass, leaves and flowers under her feet were woven into a colorful striped long skirt, which she put on herself.

He came before them, bowed gracefully, and spoke without any pause:

"Byron, Violet, thank you for your help.

People's hearts may lie, but this [Holy Spear of Origin] is enough to prove that you have indeed come a long way in breaking down the barriers between species and protecting the world.

I wonder if I can become a member of this school?"

This is what Byron was waiting for.

First describe a great vision, then offer help, and immediately catch this ancient creature and turn it into a black carp.

Hearing this, he nodded decisively:
“It’s our honor.

Ms. Nova, you are the first fifth-level upper wizard born in the school. I am the chief of the school, and you are the second in command.

I authorize you to take full charge of the development of the school of the Ancient Pillar."

Having said that, I suddenly realized that you have to be straightforward when talking to people like this; they simply won't understand if you beat around the bush.

So he immediately added:
"Actually, I also need your help with something."

Before he could finish, Nova nodded in understanding:

“I know, I heard your conversation when you first landed on this continent and planted your flag.

Land is not a problem at all.

The only problem is, as you all know from Ariel, the population of the crypt dwarves has suddenly exploded in recent years, and is now much larger than the number of all other intelligent races combined.

They are also the only group on the continent that refuses to live in harmony with everyone else and tirelessly offers blood sacrifices to an unknown god.

They are cruel, selfish, extremely egoistic, and have been hunting wild animals and other intelligent species without restraint.

The most important thing is not to eat!

It was savage.

As long as you and your army help me eliminate them, then all the land we conquer will belong to you, except for the unclaimed land in the coastal areas that other ethnic groups don't want."

When she talked about artificially controlling the population size, there was still some reluctance on her face.

But if the crypt gnomes are allowed to continue to grow, none of the other ethnic groups will survive.

She had no choice but to harden her heart and invite Byron to join the encirclement and suppression camp.

When Byron heard this, he was puzzled. How could there be such a powerful force in this world that would complain about having too many people?

You don't need it, but we happen to have a strong demand for human resources.

He quickly agreed and patted his chest and said:
“This matter is easy to resolve. I will ask the intelligence department to issue an investigation report as soon as possible to assess the situation of this ethnic group and decide on how to deal with them.

If possible, I would tame this group, assign them jobs, use the least amount of food, make the most contribution, and make them a truly useful part of this world."

Nova, who was kind-hearted, was immediately moved by Byron's words and praised him sincerely:

"You are such a good man!"

Byron thought:

'No matter what, these crypt dwarves are also spiritually awakened transcendent beings.

The young and strong can be placed in the sweatshops of the craftsmen to produce all kinds of exotic equipment;

When they are no longer able to do physical work, we will chop off their heads and put them into nutrient tanks to make "wetware". We will form a "wetware" array to act as a faith factory, using their fear of floods to provide the most basic mental power for the legal network.
After his death, Edward's joint pharmaceutical and pioneering corps are still crying out for food.
Look, the demand for our positions is so strong, wouldn’t it be a waste if we just cut them?
Finally, I get the land of the Crypt Dwarves. It will be no problem for me to enthrone dozens of Night Demon Dukes here. This is a win-win situation!

Now that I have calculated it, what Nova said is indeed right. I am really a good emperor who is diligent and frugal.'

The richer a person is, the easier it is to make money. With the foundation laid earlier, Byron easily won the development rights of the Pillars of Genesis without any further ado.

Having Nova as an ally also saved him a lot of time in exploring the continent and building a legal network.

All we need to do is capture a group of crypt dwarves and use their collective subconscious to spy on the truth about the "gods" and assess their value.

You can leave some people behind to stay and start the return journey.

"It just so happens that a new domestic means of transportation is about to be launched. By then, it will not be a dream to connect the whole world together."

A few days later, it was mid-November.

Kingston, the capital of the North Sea Empire.

A strange road about 21 kilometers long, built with steel and wood, appeared between the warehouse on the edge of the city and the dock. The city guards came early in the morning to clear the area and maintain law and order.

At nine o'clock in the morning, in the astonished eyes of the citizens.

beep--!
Bang Bang Bang.
Accompanied by a long whistle, an unstoppable steel behemoth crushed the snow-white steam under the wheels and sped along the long dragon-like railway track.

Even though it was carrying 12 heavy carriages, it still ran faster than a knight's galloping horse.

Byron, Catherine, Violet, Hathaway, and a group of whale oil mechanics sat in the last car of the whale oil steam locomotive.

Watching the scenery flashing past the window quickly, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

That’s right, the steam locomotive and railway, an extension of the whale oil steam engine, were officially launched today.

Without any surprise, the moment they arrived at the terminal from the starting station, golden light descended from above their heads, dyeing the steam locomotive and the rails golden.
