Chapter 547 Pre-Battle Preparations
Jemin sat at his desk, staring blankly at the Magic Network terminal for a while.
After calming down, she slowly chuckled, "Looks like I'm in luck..."
Jemin turned around and glanced at the memory crystals scattered on the desk.
The foundations of destiny, the theory of fate, information processing theory, causal models...
"Five years..." he said softly, "That should be enough."
Jemin stood there for a moment, then strode out of the lab.
Outdoors, the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane was a scene of bustling activity.
Standing at the laboratory entrance, Jemin looked out and saw busy black giants everywhere on the crimson ground.
Some carried enormous stones, some dragged sturdy metal components, some were digging foundations, and some were building towers. The black giant priests hovered in mid-air, waving their shimmering rune-inscribed staffs, directing the work below.
The entire Black Giant race mobilized, including even their leader, Lava Mountain.
Jemin looked up into the distance.
The colossal figure, towering ten thousand meters tall, was striding towards them, and with each step it took, the earth trembled slightly.
On the shoulder of the lava mountain was a giant stone pillar more than 20,000 meters long. It was a special stone quarried from the depths of a high gravity plane. It was extremely dense and could be used to construct the core array eye of the destiny subsystem.
Behind the lava mountain followed a group of level 6 black giants, each over 100 meters tall.
They also carried various building materials, lined up in neat rows, and marched forward under the command of the other black giant priests.
The scene was so spectacular that it defies description.
Jemin watched for a while, then looked away.
He raised his hand, and a leading black giant priest immediately descended from the sky and came to stand in front of him.
"Owner."
"How's the project progressing?" Jemin asked.
The black giant priest flipped open the recording crystal in his hand and quickly glanced at it: "The main structure is 80% complete. The laying of energy nodes is a little slower, at about 45%, but the preliminary work has been completed, and the speed will gradually pick up later. Overall, it will take about three more years to complete the initial construction of the Destiny subsystem."
Jemin nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, what they are building is the destiny subsystem of the incense and deity path.
Although Jemin hasn't truly mastered the knowledge related to destiny yet—that stuff is just too difficult—that doesn't stop him from building the infrastructure first.
Over the years, he has transformed the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, making it no longer the desolate and scorching plane it once was.
A rich spiritual energy permeated every inch of the air, and the energy network of the entire plane was interconnected, with various functional modules layered on top of each other. As for the Destiny subsystem, although Jemin couldn't do the kind of in-depth "enhancement and modification" that went deep into the core, he could still build a basic version by copying its design.
The blueprints are ready, the materials are prepared, and there are enough people.
All that's left is time.
"Keep pushing forward, and speed it up as much as possible. We still need to conduct initial testing and adjustments later on, all of which must be completed within five years; time is running out," Jemin said. "Report any developments immediately."
"Yes, Master."
The black giant priest accepted the order and left.
Jemin flew into the sky and inspected the construction of various magic arrays below.
After confirming that there were no problems with the project, he thought for a moment, then turned and flew off in another direction.
The warehouse area is located to the east of the core laboratory.
As time went on, warehouses continued to be built to store ever-increasing amounts of materials, even with space expansion devices. They occupied increasingly larger areas, and have now developed into a complex covering over 100,000 square kilometers.
This place stores all of Jemin's collections from over a thousand years—from various mineral resources to rare materials, from biological samples to energy crystals, all neatly categorized and organized.
Jemin went into one of the warehouses and began searching.
Clark's mentor did not reveal the specifics of that dimension, but since it was related to information-related technology, he had a general idea of what materials needed to be prepared.
Undoubtedly, the most suitable materials are those that can influence information or are related to information.
Jemin walked through the warehouse, his gaze sweeping over rows of shelves filled with various magic arrays.
He first stopped in front of a magic circle.
It was a circular magic circle about three meters in diameter, with layers upon layers of runes densely covering the ground and the surrounding pillars.
In the center of the magic circle, an invisible mist floated silently and rotated slowly.
That's the air of the mortal world.
"Looks like it'll be your turn to step in this time," Jemin said, looking at it with a sigh.
The allure of the mortal world is truly a panacea.
It can be used for forging weapons, refining pills, setting up formations, and even cultivation. No matter what you do, it can always come in handy. He checked the status of the sealing formation, confirmed everything was normal, and then continued forward.
The next magic circle stores the power of incense offerings.
The golden light, even more solid than the mortal realm's energy, flowed within the magic array like a living thing, occasionally coalescing into various shapes before quickly dissipating. Jemin checked the reserve of incense and divine power through the light screen beside him and nodded in satisfaction.
Then, without hesitation, he moved all the inventory out and stuffed it into his internal grotto.
He suddenly changed direction and continued walking deeper into the warehouse.
They soon arrived at the area specifically for guarding hazardous materials.
The poison of the mortal world.
A malevolent aura.
A tangled web of cause and effect.
Information disturbance fragments.
As he walked, he looked around and checked all the information-related materials in the warehouse.
He stopped in front of a magic array that stored the poison of the mortal world, looking thoughtfully at the distorted cloud of mist inside.
Although this thing is quite lethal, the previous coordinated war between wizards proved how effective these things can be when used properly. According to wartime intelligence obtained after the war, the level 7 wizard and two level 6 wizards who were tricked by him with the Mystic Red Dust Barrier did not recover until the end of the war.
"However, we still need to consider the specifics of how to use it..."
Jemin made a mark on the recording crystal.
He then walked to another magic array, looked at the evil energy stored inside, and marked it as well.
After going around once, the recording crystal in his hand was covered with a dense list of materials that needed to be prepared.
As Jemin walked out of the warehouse, he glanced back at the heavy door.
"With this many materials, it should be enough." Jemin stroked his chin thoughtfully. "We just need to figure out how to use each material. Once the Fate System is debugged, it'll be about time to go into battle."
He turned and walked toward the laboratory.
In the distance, Lava Mountain, carrying another massive stone pillar, slowly walked toward the center of the formation under the command of the priests.
