“Hurry up and build the spell array. I’ll give you seven days!”
Brida couldn’t believe it. Building a spell array to the Thunder Mountain Range was already absurd, but setting a deadline was even more outrageous!
“Your Majesty, this, this isn’t appropriate, is it?”
The master array mage tried to argue a little, but Xi Wei didn’t want to waste any more time on this matter. His face fell, and he said impatiently,
“Stop talking conditions with me. I’ve already told Fario about you joining the Wintery Empire. Now that the Saint Lotidia Empire has revoked your citizenship, if you don’t work diligently, I’ll take back your succubi and exile you to the frontier to mine!”
Brida looked at the man on the throne with a fierce expression, feeling as if he were looking at a demon.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. After a while, he sighed and said, “Alright, Your Majesty, we will try our best to complete your mission, but you must provide us with enough materials…”
Before he could finish, Xi Wei interrupted.
“A qualified array mage knows how to obtain materials themselves. If you don’t have them, go earn them, steal them, or rob them from the South Continent. Anyway, you’re already building a teleportation array, and it’s not far from the South Continent!”
Brida stared blankly at the King of Winter, feeling that his image was gradually merging with the demon Satan.
“Any problem?”
Xi Wei’s eyes lowered, his gaze cold.
The group of array mages behind him quickly tugged at Brida’s sleeve.
Only then did Brida come to his senses and say tremblingly,
“Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best to complete the mission!!”
With that, Brida handed the array map to Xi Wei and then left with a group of array mages in embarrassment.
Xi Wei glanced at the array map in his hand, which showed only the fully activated arrays.
These included 72 cities of various sizes in the Wintery Empire, 47 cities in Karari, 51 cities in Medon, and 86 cities in the Kalun region. These cities were all connected by teleportation gates. However, any city that wanted to teleport to Winter City had to possess a teleportation token or submit an application for verification. This was one of Xi Wei’s methods to protect his main base.
It was mainly for the future of the Wintery Empire.
After dismissing the array mages, Xi Wei found Loli to meticulously confirm the details of the Old Ones’ attack on Winter City.
It was true that he was shocked, but fortunately, there were players staying in Winter City. Otherwise, given the inconsistencies between the Old Ones and the gods of this world, Loli might not have found a way to resolve the Old Ones’ ritual in time. This matter once again confirmed Xi Wei’s recognition of the importance of players.
If utilized properly, players could indeed become a powerful force against the Old Ones!
Now that the Old Ones had extended their reach to Winter City, it meant they were getting impatient.
“System, are you ready?”
[Host, this system’s analysis of the Blue Star rules is already very comprehensive, and it has expanded the carrying capacity of the Godhead. As long as the Host provides some Death Divinity, the ‘server’ can be expanded and operated, achieving full public beta on the Cain Continent. Do you wish to perform Divinity docking?]
Xi Wei blinked, not immediately starting the Divinity docking. According to the system’s meaning,
docking with Divinity seemed to turn him into part of the server.
Why did he suddenly feel like he was turning into an aircraft carrier!
“What happens if I suddenly cut off the connection?”
[Of course, all players will be disconnected. The Host can disconnect at any time.]
“Then there’s nothing to hesitate about.”
Xi Wei nodded slightly. He had also worried about the trouble that might arise from players developing too quickly.
Now that he could kick them out at any time, it didn’t matter.
“Initiate Divinity connection!”
[Establishing Divinity connection…]
As soon as the system finished speaking, Xi Wei felt a part of his Divinity being extracted.
At the same time, he immediately established a connection with Marron’s Godhead.
However, this Godhead could no longer be called a Godhead. After being modified by the Blue Star Will and the system, it had completely lost the structure of a Godhead. The Divinity within had no attributes, existing in its purest state. However, it could not be absorbed or mobilized because it did not belong to any god, and it was entirely for connecting the Blue Star and Cain.
Now, Xi Wei’s Death Divinity was connected, but it could not connect with the Blue Star.
However, the system had processed it, and the processed Divinity spread across all the points derived from the Godhead.
At these points, Xi Wei could see the figures of almost all the players.
Perhaps because of the blessing of the Godhead, his brain instantly accepted a large amount of information and processed it immediately.
His Divinity also permeated the original old players.
Now, he could precisely kick every old player offline.
To summarize Xi Wei’s feeling,
it was as if he had become a supercomputer.
“Is the promotional video ready?”
[Of course. Do you wish to start broadcasting the public beta promotional video on the official game website for the Cain Continent of the Blue Star?]
“Broadcast it. Also, send out an update announcement and enable all possible functions. We need to rapidly improve the players’ combat power to deal with the upcoming challenges.”
Xi Wei’s gaze was deep.
During the time he was heading to the Thunder Mountain Range, similar ritualistic activities of the Old Ones’ Retainers had appeared in Karari and Medon.
Whenever the army tried to track them down,
they would disappear like rats.
So, even though there were no major upheavals on the Cain Continent yet,
he could already feel a crisis brewing.
These Old Ones were clearly preparing something, and when they were ready, they would launch a major attack on the entire Cain Continent. This sense of crisis had always spurred Xi Wei, keeping him on edge.
However, where did this sense of crisis come from?
Xi Wei had no clue for the moment.
So, he decided to go relax with Bai Yao. He had promised to have three days of fun together, and he wasn’t joking with Bai Yao. Besides, Bai Yao had been avoiding him because he was too powerful before. Now that Bai Yao was a demigod, she shouldn’t be unable to handle it anymore~
…
King of Winter’s Bedroom.
Xi Wei sat in a rocking chair, leisurely reading the intelligence reports from various parts of the Wintery Empire.
Behind him, a splashing sound of water could be heard from the bathroom.
He didn’t know what this little girl was thinking.
She had already become a god,
but she still had to go through this process. Was this the so-called sense of ritual?
It didn’t take much time anyway.
He waited quietly outside.
In the bathroom, Bai Yao, whose pretty face was flushed red from the steam, made sure her whole body was fragrant before preparing to get dressed and go out.
There were two sets of clothes on the rack.
One was her maid outfit.
The other was packed in a black bag, specially prepared for her by Xi Wei.
