Chapter 488: Chapter 381 Very Fast_1
"This... so many things have happened in just a few days, aren’t they afraid of me?" At Qi Family Town, Zheng Yichen looked somewhat dazedly at the three little ones before him—Liu Hongzhao had no knowledge of the affairs of the Mortal Realm, whereas Qi Xiangyun and Lin Yaoyao knew quite a bit.
When he returned, he was curious as to why this place had become so bustling, but after making some inquiries, he sensed something was amiss.
Someone wanted to roast the three little ones over a fire.
"It seems they don’t know how formidable Brother Chang Qing you are," Qi Xiangyun said with a smile, picking up a jar beside her to inspect its contents. Inside was the rich Supreme Demon Blood, the very heartblood of a Supreme Demon, the most quintessential part. As soon as she opened the jar, she felt her Blood Asura inner force start to stir.
After some thought, Zheng Yichen said, "If you have the ambition to vie for supremacy over the world, that’s also possible..."
"No," Qi Xiangyun abruptly shook her head, "I don’t want that. Managing the affairs of the people is too troublesome. Even managing just Qi Family Town makes me feel very restrained."
She bore the responsibility for the development of Qi Family Town, but she did not wish to shoulder the responsibility for an entire world. Even less than a year before, she had no need to consider such burdensome responsibilities; just being the young miss of Qi Family Town was enough, and any further considerations were matters for years or even decades later.
Lin Yaoyao was even less interested in these matters, and as for Liu Hongzhao, it was not suitable for him either.
"Alright then, use these things first. They have been stored for a while, and I’m worried they’ll go bad if kept any longer," said Zheng Yichen. Qi Xiangyun looked at the jars and bottles in the room; every few jars signified the complete fall of a Supreme Demon.
She asked, "Brother Chang Qing, how many Supreme Demons have you dealt with?"
"Not many, just eight. Use them quickly, as I have work that will take me away later," Zheng Yichen said, prompting Qi Xiangyun and Lin Yaoyao to immediately perk up.
"Then let’s start right away; we haven’t truly been in contact with Supreme Demon Blood before..."
"Use this." Zheng Yichen took out the Compass. Although it could be said to be the treasure of Diviners, those four Diviners knew very well that they could not keep it in their hands—it was just too risky when Supreme Demons had not yet been eradicated.
Zheng Yichen looked at the instruction manual left by Yi Nan and pressed his hand onto the Compass. As the Compass spun, it emitted a faint light that could dispel some of the Supreme Demon’s influence, aiding their refining of the Supreme Demon Blood.
Liu Hongzhao stayed behind to watch over Qi Xiangyun and the others, while Zheng Yichen left the room and sat on a motorcycle in the yard, taking stock of his spoils. As for the matter of someone plotting to roast the three little ones over a fire—if it was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, that person would pay a price. If it was a Supreme Demon’s scheme, then there would be no aftermath once the Supreme Demons were gone.
Binding the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate and the Supreme Demon treasure together with such a harmful ploy... Zheng Yichen pondered it and thought: "That’s not bad either? I also want to find the Supreme Demon treasure, so how about I monopolize it?"
"BOSS, that will earn you the label of a villain."
"I don’t care," Zheng Yichen said very decisively, did he need the appreciation of this world’s natives? Not really—the people in this world were almost all dead, and it would certainly take hundreds of years to develop back to times past, not to mention the existence of alien demons like Yi Nan. What use was gratitude?
In Chiang Wei’s world, doing good deeds and gaining recognition was essential, as the resources and technological power there were highly advanced. Maintaining good cooperation would benefit him, but what about here? Martial arts rare manuals? Those were not difficult to acquire now.
Resources? It would be better to directly obtain the so-called Supreme Demon treasure, which was essentially the legacy of those Supreme Demons. However, he needed to move quickly in this endeavor, as those Supreme Demons had already joined forces, and it was not impossible that they would dig into the legacy of other Supreme Demons.
The treasure brought by the Supreme Demons far exceeded anything that the human race could offer in this world, so he didn’t care about gratitude. Some matters were better left for the descendants of this world to judge.
"Then there’s the matter of migration." Zheng Yichen calculated the time; twenty hours did not seem to be quite enough.
After returning the counted materials, he planned to take what remained after Qi Xiangyun and the others had seen them to the Dusk Territory for further processing.
Zheng Yichen found Yi Nan, who had just finished bathing and had come to see him with his hair still wet: "Your Excellency Chang Qing, if there’s anything you need, please say it."
Although Zheng Yichen did not possess a ’life grid’ from this world, he was the boss of the big boss, so naturally, Yi Nan would not disregard his presence.
"I’ve been thinking about the migration. I have some matters to take care of that will require me to leave, and the migration will take a significant amount of time..." Zheng Yichen shared his thoughts.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Yi Nan said with a smile, "If it were earlier, this matter would certainly be quite troublesome. There are shameless Supreme Demons who, in order to survive better or bide time, would definitely target Qi Family Town.
But now we are confident that we can temporarily protect Qi Family Town from the harassment of the Supreme Demons, though it will not be for longer than two months."
"Two months? That should be enough time," Zheng Yichen nodded. His work took him to worlds on the brink of destruction, which generally didn’t require too much time. However, if he couldn’t return, that meant he really couldn’t return. "How do we proceed?"
"The Compass, along with some Supreme Demon materials and Hellfire, we need to create a furnace that can provide sufficient energy."
Yi Nan explained his method, stating that the Compass was already a treasured artifact of the human race designed against the Supreme Demons. If used properly, it was feasible to transform Qi Family Town into a temporary sanctuary immune to Supreme Demon incursions. It wasn’t that the Supreme Demons couldn’t come here, but once they did, they would be greatly suppressed.
If the Supreme Demons were at their peak, they might not care about such a ’minor’ effect. But now, they were all in a weakened state. With their weakness further exacerbated by suppression, not only Zheng Yichen— even Liu Hongzhao could kill an impulsive Supreme Demon.
The only problem now was that Qi Family Town didn’t have a powerful enough energy source, so they had to resort to more ingenious methods.
Create a Hell’s Well, then ignite it. With the scent of Hell sustaining it, the Hellfire would burn incessantly.
...Treating Hell as a gas canister, huh? After hearing Yi Nan’s plan, the corner of Zheng Yichen’s eye twitched involuntarily. This world didn’t have things like Spirit Stones or Immortal Stones, though coal was available. But clearly, coal was not sufficient to maintain the Compass’s long-term operation.
"If the energy source is secure, why can it only last two months?" Zheng Yichen asked whenever he had doubts; he wasn’t adept at magic, so he had to listen to the experts.
Yi Nan stroked his beard, "Because humans can’t endure it, ay. The Hell’s Well that’s opened will affect the environment. Even if the scent of Hell is ignited, the impact will still linger. In terms of time, two months is the maximum, otherwise some of the town’s folk here will turn into the living dead.
If we’re talking about maintaining health, then one month is the limit. All the regions tied to Hell bearing Ancient Seals are basically ghostly realms."
Yi Nan didn’t intend to solve this alone. He quickly brought in Wei Xue and others. After pondering for a while, Huan Zhen said, "I can set up a Formation that can extend this period by ten days. If we have enough gloomy wood, it could last even longer."
Yui Anhe spoke, "I can find the best location that will have the smallest impact on Qi Family Town, which can buy us some more time."
During the slaughter of the Supreme Demons in Hell, Yui Anhe didn’t play a significant role with the first few Supreme Demons, but later, his use of the Compass to mark troublesome Supreme Demons proved very effective. Now, finding the right location was within his expertise.
Wei Xue finally said, "I have nothing else to add."
Everything that could be done was being handled by his three companions. He couldn’t compare to them in this regard; he just needed to observe and, at most, double-check their work to prevent any slips. When they were busy, he might as well act as a schoolteacher in Qi Family Town.
"With all of you striving, do we have the two months?" Originally feeling pressed for time, Zheng Yichen now felt the schedule loosened.
Yi Nan shook his head, "That’s just the ideal scenario. If the Supreme Demons truly invade, it will shorten the duration. But a solid month is guaranteed without any issues!"
Activating the Compass doesn’t necessarily require the Hell’s Well they planned to create— their own powers could also stimulate it. Moreover, the Compass itself retained sufficient power for emergencies. However, the Well would provide a long-term effective energy source, allowing the Compass to function over an extended period.
"How long will it take to construct the Hell’s Well?"
Yui Anhe thought for a moment and said, "Including the time to set up the Formation and other preparations, at most two hours."
Zheng Yichen was somewhat surprised, "That quickly?"
Yui Anhe smiled and explained, "The key to the speed is having Your Excellency Chang Qing here."
He said this while looking at the fishing rod carried by Zheng Yichen. Normally, it certainly wouldn’t be that fast, but Zheng Yichen could directly open a ’Hell channel’ with the fishing rod, eliminating many steps and turning the impossible into possible.
Without Zheng Yichen here, the concept of a Hell’s Well wouldn’t be feasible.
"Then take a rest first. We’ll talk about materials and such in the evening." Since there was ample time, there was no need to rush. They would start after finishing the preparations on Qi Xiangyun’s end.
As for the issues related to relocation, that was inevitable. Unless the Supreme Demons were wiped out completely, remaining here would be too passive. Zheng Yichen couldn’t stay here for long.
But in the Dusk Territory, things were different. Most of the Supreme Demons, in collaboration with the Boundary Breakers, had been marked by Dusk. Their activities outside of the Dusk Territory didn’t matter, but once they stepped into it, the doomed ones would be the Supreme Demons.
Returning to Qi Xiangyun’s workplace, Zheng Yichen touched his hair. His short hair had grown past waist-length in just a few days. The Supreme Demons were indeed a great supplement... although the feedback from the Supreme Demons had started to decrease with their dwindling numbers.
