I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 120 Chen Bo plays with the Divine Child's Eye of God, his mind is in turmoil, and the plan for three million Eyes of God.

The night wind on Haegeishima Island swept over the cliffs, carrying with it a salty, fishy smell.

This smell, which is usually soothing, only adds to the restlessness tonight.

Coral Palace Heart Sea stood on the edge of the cliff, her skirt fluttering in the wind. The Divine Child had just given her a live broadcast of the whole thing, which was truly an eye-opener.

As a living, divine priestess, she has been well-versed in military strategy since childhood. Warfare is based on deception, exhaustively exploring the variables of heaven and earth to achieve victory. Timing, terrain, human factors, supplies, morale—everything has its patterns.

This is also the source of her confidence in ruling Haizhi Island.

Although Coral Palace's strategies were difficult to explain in a few words, her ability to adapt to changing circumstances truly lived up to her reputation as a strategist.

What just happened was even somewhat surreal.

The "Coral Palace Heart Sea" bearing her own face forced Kujo Sara to retreat with just a few words.

Of course, what truly intimidated the commander of the Heavenly Territory was that heavily armed fleet that appeared out of nowhere and was equipped with a full range of cannons.

However, that invincible fleet never existed; it was merely an illusion.

All of them were projected by metal constructs called "floating cannons".

Using deception as a source of confidence is a tactic she had never learned.

After all, Haizhi Island has neither the Romance of the Three Kingdoms nor the Empty City Stratagem.

However, what Xin Hai didn't know was that Chen Bo's confidence stemmed from his own strength, which made it easy for him to annihilate his opponent. He used projection technology because he wanted to hide his own power.

The nine robes were removed.

Yae no Miko's laughter pierced through the metal speaker.

In the projected phantom, the goddess's pink fox ears bounced uncontrollably on her hair: "Oh dear, Lady Coral Palace, the spectacle of these 'heavenly soldiers and generals' is truly impressive. This exorbitantly priced deal of mine was quite a bargain!"

"In military terms, this is called subduing the enemy without fighting. It's a perfect solution. I would feel terrible if the people of Narugami Island were to get hurt while protecting Umijima Island."

These teasing words brought me back to reality, and my heart and cheeks burned, the heat spreading all the way to my ears.

She, who always considered herself a strategist, actually relied entirely on outsiders using this cheating-like technology to protect the supplies this time.

The second wave of ships I sent hasn't arrived yet.

Chen Bo also joined their conversation.

"Lord Coral Palace, the show is over. You'll have to deal with the mess left by your general yourself."

"I'm going to Narukami Island for a late-night snack first. See you again sometime."

The goddess smiled and said, "Then I must prepare to entertain the guests. Let's chat again another time."

Then, the projection of the divine child also disappeared.

On the beach, only Xin Hai remains, alone, facing the sea breeze and filled with sorrow. Who is this person?

What exactly is the principle behind the technology he possesses? What terrifying price did the Divine Child pay to invite this expert?

The merchant ships over there.

After the life-or-death ordeal was over, the island's merchant ships set sail again.

Goro stood at the bow of the main ship, scratching his furry ears in frustration.

His thoughts were a tangled mess, impossible to unravel. Where had those enormous fleets gone?

How did Lord Coral Palace manage to appear out of thin air and then mysteriously disappear?

Without saying a word, they simply disappeared.

Never mind, I'll just ask when I get back.

As the fleet sailed out of the reef area, it collided head-on with a second team that had come to meet them.

Goro quickly gestured for them to come closer, and in a few steps jumped onto the other side's deck to inquire.

"Where is Lady Coral Palace? Which anchorage is her super fleet anchored at?"

The captain in charge of the rendezvous was completely bewildered, scratching the back of his head with an innocent expression: "General, you must be so shocked that you misheard the order, right? Lord Coral Palace has been overseeing the overall situation from the rear camp and hasn't stepped out of Haizhi Island even once."

Goro seemed to have turned into a stone sculpture, nailed to the wooden board.

If Lord Sangokami hadn't gone to sea, who was the person who stood on the super battleship just now and forced Kujo Sara to retreat with just a few words?

However, upon closer reflection, that person's speaking style is indeed quite unlike that of Lady Coral Palace.

The example given by Lord Coral Palace was very clear and easy to understand.

Despite many questions, preserving the life-saving medicine is the most important thing right now.

Goro shook his head, forcing himself to stay awake, and ordered a full-speed return to base.

Narukami Island, its shadow reflected on the mountaintop, Narukami Taisha Shrine.

The night sky is dotted with stars, and the petals of the cherry blossom tree fall in the wind.

On the stone table under the tree, a sumptuous feast of Inazuma specialty dishes was laid out.

Exquisite fried tofu, tempura, eel rice, tricolor dumplings, and cherry blossom mochi—steaming hot and fragrant.

Yae no Miko indeed prepared a very high-class banquet to receive this helper who had come from afar.

Chen Bo arrived at Narukami Island very quickly.

Numerous floating cannons were stationed in various corners of Shadow Mountain.

The divine mech hovered above Shadow Mountain, while its clone burst out, carrying the three little ones directly into the shrine's courtyard.

From the perspective of the divine child.

Light footsteps echoed along the gravel path in the courtyard.

Chen Bo led three identical little girls to their seats on Moon One, Moon Two, and Moon Three. The three little girls' eyes lit up when they saw the table full of food.

Although it's just an intelligent data entity, it still wants to eat when it sees delicious food.

Chen Bo pulled out a carved wooden chair and sat down, handing Moon No. 2 a string of tricolor dumplings.

"Eat up, don't be shy. It's rare for the priest of Narukami Shrine to be so generous, so eat as much as you want. Tell her to bring more plates when they're empty."

Chen Bo took a bite of tempura himself. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, cooked to perfection. He nodded in satisfaction.

The priestess rested her chin on her hand, observing the four people feasting with great interest. "You take people's money and do their bidding. Your performance was so good that even I can't find fault with it. Not only did you save the supplies on Umijima Island, but you also completely fooled Kujo Sara."

"I'm so glad to finally meet you. Can you tell me what your thoughts are?"

While eating, Chen Bo replied, "My strategy is very simple. If we can win, we fight; if we can't, we stall for time to develop."

"With my current mech strength, challenging that god in the castle tower would be suicide. I can't beat him right now, so I think it's better to stall for time and develop my mech."

"Therefore, the primary task is to disrupt the fools' arrangements in Inazuma and minimize the harm that the Eye Hunting Order and the Isolation Order will cause to the people of Inazuma."

"Once I can perfectly control the power of the three God Hearts, I will challenge General Thunder to a duel, first defeat her, and then reason with her and make her realize her mistakes."

The Divine Child tapped the table with a steady rhythm: "A direct challenge to the Kage? I thought you would choose a more conservative approach, such as defeating Kujo Sara in a duel before the Emperor, trying to find a turning point."

Chen Bo replied with a smile, "That's a good method, but I feel it's not persuasive enough. If you could persuade people directly with words, I think you would have done it long ago, Divine Child."

"Therefore, we also need to let Ying experience failure and let Ying see the people's desires. In terms of guiding the people's desires, I want to start with light novels, that is, a cultural offensive, and I need your help in this regard."

The divine child rested his chin on his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Truly worthy of being the great inventor I trust. Your reasoning is sound, and the general direction is correct. I approve of it. Later, we'll discuss the details together."

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.

Chen Bo didn't beat around the bush, opening his palm towards the divine child: "Reward."

There was no unnecessary small talk.

Without hesitation, the divine child reached into his robes. A chess piece-shaped object, radiating intense lightning elemental energy, was placed on the table. A purple halo illuminated the faces of the three little ones.

That is the heart of Thor.

Luna One leaned closer to examine it and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the symbol of the power of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm—such a precious thing—"

The divine child leaned back in his chair, his posture languid: "An inanimate object is ultimately an inanimate object. I, the Eightfold Divine Child, am naturally a person of my word and never renege on my promises."

Chen Bo took the Heart of Thor, made the Divine Mech land, and casually tossed it into the energy core storage compartment on the chest of the Divine Mech.

The soft clicking of mechanical gears rang out, and abundant lightning element began to circulate within the body's network, continuously absorbing the power of the Heart of God and compressing it into high-strength, high-purity lightning element crystals.

The first Heart of God is in hand.

With the payment settled, Chen Bo reached out again: "Divine Child, could you please remove your Divine Eye so I can take a look?"

The divine child looked utterly bewildered, not understanding at all: "What do you need the Eye of God for?"

Chen Bo stated directly, "Isn't the Eye Hunt Order supposed to confiscate Inazuma's God Eye?"

"I plan to build a fully automated production line to mass-produce counterfeit Eyes of God. Well, by mass production, I mean in units of tens of thousands. Let's make three million in the first batch."

"Then, using floating cannons, scatter these high-quality counterfeits all over the streets and alleys of Inazuma. On the beach, on the tree branches, at the bottom of the latrine pits, on the roof of the castle tower. The magistrate likes to collect them, so let them collect to their heart's content."

"When there are too many fake Eyes of God, finding the real one becomes extremely difficult. Any owner of an Eye of God who isn't stupid would collect the fake ones and hand them over."

"Since I'm going to fake it, of course I want to see what the real Eye of God looks like. It's embarrassing to admit, but I don't actually have the Eye of God."

"That's a brilliant idea. But—" The Divine Child clapped earnestly, then pointed to her right ear, where the Thunder-attribute Divine Eye was shaped like an earring, swaying in the evening breeze: "My Divine Eye is a little different from others. If you want to see it, why don't you come closer and take it off yourself?"

His words were provocative, full of the fox's characteristic probing.

Chen Bo sat upright in the chair, completely still.

A sudden change occurred on his back; a ball of crimson, high-temperature flame burst forth, quickly elongating and shaping into a pair of flaming arms.

The arm, made entirely of fire element, stretched across the long table, came to the ear of the divine child, pinched the clasp of the earring with two fingers, gently untied it, removed the Eye of God, and brought it back to Chen Bo.

The goddess's languid demeanor vanished completely. She stretched out her fingertips and touched the air where the flames had just passed; there was still a trace of warmth left.

The goddess's laughter echoed beneath the empty cherry blossom tree.

"What a little rascal—I had no idea that the great inventor who was keeping me company here, eating, drinking, and chatting, was just an avatar made of the Fire of No Form from beginning to end. He's really not sincere, sending an avatar to fool me."

"All that delicious food I prepared was for nothing."

Chen Bo played with the Eye of God earring in his hand and answered with a smile.

"My clone is stronger than my original body, so I'm absolutely sincere. Also, who says clones can't eat? This clone of the Formless Flame can not only taste flavors, but it also has complete humanoid organs inside."

"During my stay at Narukami Taisha, I'll leave my food and drink to the priestess."

"Then I'll just prepare something casually." Then, the divine child changed the subject: "Speaking of which, even if you fail to challenge General Thunder, it seems you won't be in any real danger, right?"

Chen Bo said, "Although challenging General Thunder is not life-threatening, I still need to play it safe. I will only attempt to challenge General Thunder after I have obtained at least three Hearts of God. I cannot be killed in one hit, otherwise I will not learn any experience and it would be a complete loss."

"Also, the strategy of winning hearts and minds, I mean winning over Lei's films, also requires some time to plan."

the other side.

Longji Snow Mountain.

Chen Bo did not stop directly at Abedo's camp, but landed halfway up the mountain, allowing the five sages to experience the feeling of climbing.

A cold wind swept across the cliffs of Longji Snow Mountain, stirring up a blanket of white frost.

The temperature here is extremely low, and the breath you exhale freezes directly into white slush in mid-air.

The five sages were wearing only one robe, and naturally they were shivering from the cold.

Chen Bo walked at the very back, urging the others to hurry up.

Great Sage Hazard walked at the very front of the group. The cold air scraped his cheeks like knives, stinging him.

Every inch of his body was trembling, and snot froze into icicles hanging from his philtrum.

In the past, when I was in the Order of the Religion, orders were strictly enforced, and I had never suffered like this before.

Hazard's vision began to blur due to unbearable hunger and loss of body heat, and his eyes held the most vicious resentment.

They weren't deliberately tortured for long; after walking for only an hour, the group arrived at the snow mountain camp in Abedo.

Abedo was happy to see Chen Bo, but when he saw the five elderly people behind him, his eyes showed some confusion.

Who are these five elderly people?

Chen Bo said, "These five are the experimental assistants I prepared for you."

Abedo frowned: "I don't need any lab assistants here, and besides, they're too old to be of much help."

The sages were furious at being looked down upon by the young people.

After all, they usually held themselves in high esteem, controlled the academic lifeline of the entire Sumeru, and each of them was a famous scholar.

The great sage instinctively straightened his back, his lips, purple with cold, parted, and adopted the tone of a superior lecturing a subordinate: "Ignorant child, I am the leader of the Sumeru Teaching Academy—"

Chen Bo fired directly, giving him a click bullet. The electric current from the click bullet immediately interrupted the Great Sage's speech.

No, you still want to show off in front of me?

What do you think?

Chen Bo walked into the camp, dragged over a wooden chair and sat down, brushing the snow off his shoulders, and said, "These are the top brains of the Sumeru Cult Academy. Believe me, they will be excellent experimental assistants."

"Whether it's alchemy, mechanical devices, or even divination and astrology, he's skilled in everything."

Having just given them an electric shock bullet, and with these old men shivering from the cold, Aberdo naturally noticed the anomaly. He put down the test tube, wiped his fingers with a dry towel, and asked earnestly, "Tell me honestly, have you been using my snow mountain camp as your private prison?"
