Chapter 471

Five years later.

The post-war tidying up of the Mopu Plane lasted even longer than the war itself. A month after the exploration mages left, everything was finally settled.

After Adam settled all the rewards of the army, he still received a considerable amount of resources, but the biggest gain was the manpower. A large number of mages felt that it was good to follow Adam, so they applied to officially join Adam's Mage Tower. Adam was not afraid of them, and greatly expanded his own manpower.

Mathilda chose to officially join the mage civilization and become a warrior race under the leadership of the mages. However, things were a little different from what they thought. Because they were too few in number, the council did not pass the plan to give them an independent plane to live on their own.

Mathilda did not express any dissatisfaction with this. The successive blows and the huge gap in strength had shattered and rebuilt the pride and persistence in her heart. Most importantly, they did not have the ability to rebuild their civilization. The construction technology disappeared with the death of all the craftsmen, and the pollution of the source region made it impossible for them to replenish their knights. Instead of getting an empty plane to fend for themselves, it was better to join under the command of a mage and use military achievements to exchange for a possible prosperity.

With Adam's acquiescence, she put herself and the Mopu Humans up for sale.

She did not express any intention of following Adam. Perhaps it was because Adam's attitude towards her race in the last war was too cold, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

Adam did not care. He had no interest in the Beast Knights, and did not want them to join his Mage Tower. Now that they had parted on good terms, he could still squeeze the last bit of value out of them.

The ancestral beast, the Jewel Dragon, was divided equally between Adam and Naeem. Every part of its body was the best magical material, and its value was enough to tempt any mage.

Apart from the Mopu Plane, Adam's work was still heavy. He now had two jobs. On the one hand, he had to deal with the increasing number of envoys, and evaluate the number of magical creatures they faced and the level of the plane. On the other hand, he had to coordinate the army, dispatch logistics, and deal with some advanced mages who had smelled the scent of benefits and flocked to the plane. All day long, his clones were busy.

Yep, it was the doppelganger. These weren't combat missions, so there was no need for the main body to appear. The doppelganger was more than capable of handling them. Meanwhile, Adam himself had more important work to do.

For the first time, the cooperation between the Exploration Mage and the Exploration Robot would provide extremely important data. Adam placed most of his attention on this.

Judging from the current situation, the Mages, who were the leaders and operators of the robots, still had a shallow understanding of the new tools. They were used to trusting themselves and doubting the information sent back by the robots, which required a lot of time and effort to verify. On the other hand, the functions of the robots still needed to be strengthened. Most of the information they sent back was in the form of characters. The next upgrade was to allow them to send back images and even energy spectra. Lastly, there was the problem of controlling the robots. Currently, the exploration Mages had a hard time understanding the quantum algorithm. It required a lot of training.

As time passed, the Exploration Mages moved further and further ahead. They gradually approached the source of the Gemstone Dragon.

The Wind of Breath was the Wind of Death and Wind of Destruction. It was extremely powerful and was one of the rarer branches of Elemental Magic that could be touched at the level of Thought at the official level.

Elemental Mages who cultivated this type of magic could easily gain powerful combat strength. Correspondingly, they would be lacking in other areas.

However, the Wind of Breath was particularly suitable for this exploration mission because Corestal could 'weather' herself after unfolding her True Elemental Body and integrate herself into the void storm to move forward. In this state, the void storm was equivalent to an extension of her senses. She could get a lot of useful information from the feedback to hide herself, discover targets, and avoid danger.

This exploration wasn't peaceful. It could be said to be her most dangerous mission so far. Along the way, she passed by many wandering Magical Creature Legions. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that if she was discovered, she would definitely fail the mission and die.

In the sixth year after setting off from the Electromagnetic, she was the first to arrive at the target coordinates with her speed that surpassed the other Exploration Mages.

There was no need to search for the exact location of the mission plane in the vicinity, nor did she need to use any detection or perception spells. She could clearly see the astonishing scene ahead with her naked eyes.

Giant Beasts! Giant Beasts! Giant Beasts!

Giant Beasts that were thousands of meters tall and tens of thousands of meters long wandered in the void ahead. They were of different races. Corestal found some familiar races among them, but without exception, they were all unbelievably huge in size.

Although size didn't fully represent power, in this area, almost all of them were high-level energy creatures. Every time they met, they would bring about a torrent of energy and a void storm. Some of the baby beasts frolicked gently and displayed terrifying power.

There wasn't a plane of land in this area. The habitat of the giant beasts was the bodies or corpses of even bigger beasts.

Corestal couldn't suppress her curiosity. She couldn't help but move forward for tens of thousands of meters. However, the location she was at just now seemed to be a safe distance. Now, as she got closer to the area, the pressure she felt on her body became stronger.

There must be a level-nine giant beast among them!

The training before entering the cataclysm allowed her to identify the pollution energy of the third era. The massive pollution was far purer and scarier than the background radiation of the cataclysm and the polluted area that Xin Yati deliberately left behind.

"What … what is this place!?" The intense pain and the collapse of her body stopped her from moving forward. This was no longer an area that a level-four mage like her could explore. She didn't need to be discovered. The energy flowing in the void was enough to completely destroy her.

"Why are they gathered together? Why don't they leave this place? " With such questions in mind, Corestal did her best to conceal herself. She found a suitable point and began to investigate the specific area of this area, as well as the secrets hidden within.

Another two years passed. Corestal carefully arrived at the back of the area. According to the rough map of the cataclysm given to her by Adam, this was the absolute edge. Just a little more and she would leave the cataclysm and arrive at a new void zone.

"This is!?"

When she saw the scene in front of her, she didn't hesitate to use all her strength and desperately retreat. It was as if she had encountered an unimaginably terrifying scene.

Xin Yati, Adam, and the others who were in front of the monitoring screen of the Atomic Energy Research Department suddenly stood up. They had received the information that Corestal had sent back in the midst of danger.

"This is …"
