Of course, producing some special blueprints was still useful for the guild, but for Li Yao personally, he was now pursuing various dark-gold equipment, and unless it was a top-quality Gold Equipment, he wouldn’t pay too much attention to it anymore.

Edward, although she had first pick, did not choose the best piece of equipment because she had secured trading permissions for Demon Crystals, and correspondingly, she didn’t care much about a single piece of equipment, showing only a gesture of goodwill.

Thus, when choosing, she always picked the less valuable items. Li Yao shook his head slightly without concern. This time his luck was just average, not even including an item that Li Yao deemed valuable, and he knew that for Edward, these things were trivial, so Li Yao did not hold back.

The primary reason Li Yao had agreed to the trade was due to the incredibly high price of Demon Crystals, which were supremely valuable but hard to come by.

The value of Demon Crystals was undeniable, but the issue was that their application in Starfire, both now and for a while in the future, would not be very extensive.

After all, only high-end industries consume Demon Crystals–this “high-end” status applies to all powerful races, let alone Starfire today.

Take the Demon-Powered Battleship, for instance. Starfire currently had a limited number, and Magic Battleships didn’t use a significant number of Demon Crystals. Starfire had managed the supply even when there was no output of Demon Crystals, even more so now.

According to Li Yao’s plan, as time passed, the yield of Demon Crystals would be no less than that of a major Magic Crystal Mine. With such a vast quantity, Starfire’s overall consumption wouldn’t even amount to one percent of the output.

Moreover, Demon Crystals were a strategic resource of immense value to others, even to someone as powerful as the queen, affecting hard power within factions and warfare on a grand scale.

But as one reborn, Li Yao had an advantage: information. Over ten years, he had discovered many Magic Crystal Mines, and when necessary, he naturally had ways to take control.

Thus, although the Red Crystal Ant was precious, it did not hold too much significance for Li Yao, at best it was a pleasant surprise, especially at a time when Starfire was making money hand over fist, lessening the impact of the Demon Crystals even more.

Of course, it wasn’t to say they were useless. At the very least, sending half the output directly to the queen would be an extremely valuable gift. Li Yao had no intention of exchanging for items of equivalent worth, but the attitude expressed was indeed very important.

Li Yao knew he was not short of Magic Crystal Mines, but others didn’t know. The rarity of such mines was beyond doubt, and under these circumstances, the invisible benefits he could gain by giving up half the yield would be astonishing.

Another aspect was that the growth of the World Tree would accelerate, and with the World Tree at its core, a large comprehensive Array that enveloped the whole city could be formed, vastly upgrading Starfire’s security and advancing the step towards becoming a main city.

Li Yao’s thoughts surged like the tide, but his actions did not cease. He directly activated the mechanism of the Red Crystal Ant Goddess Statue, and a beam of light shot out.

To everyone’s amazed gazes, a pyramid shimmering with gold appeared before their eyes.

Everyone boarded the Battle Scorpion and rushed towards the area where the pyramid was located.

Under the huge pyramid, even the multi-headed serpent seemed like an ant, which showed the grandeur of the structure.

“What a grand undertaking,” the Black Dragon Queen sighed.

Li Yao, startled, asked, “Such a building by the ancient gods is grand, but it’s hardly a miracle, right? Not to mention the Moon Goddess Palace linked to the moon above the World Tree, but even the empires of the Trolls have a great altar in every main city that towers to the skies, each of them much larger than this one. And there’s your Dragon Clan’s Dragon Sleep Temple, which even among all Titan structures is vast and magnificent, with overflowing demonic energy. Compared to these structures, this pyramid is nothing.”

The Black Dragon Queen laughed, “My master, you’re right. But you’re overlooking something–haven’t you felt that this pyramid and this desert are quite strange?”

Edward spoke up, “Wasn’t it said that this place is full of the aura of the Abyss? Could there be a connection?”

“That’s right. The Lion Scorpion Goddess truly made a grand gesture. It’s beyond belief that she planned so far ahead even in her downfall. The goddess truly is no simple entity to achieve what she has now,” the Black Dragon Queen revealed a hint of admiration.

The Serpent Demon also commented, “The more you talk, the more confused I get. I still don’t understand.”

“As far as I know, in ancient times there was a desert race that worshiped the sky-swallowing python. Their representative structure was the pyramid. This race was far stronger than the then-emerging Troll empires, even possessing the potential to become the protagonists of the world. Unfortunately, during the war of the gods, the heavens shattered, and the sky-swallowing python nearly lost its godhood. This powerful deity of the natural order had no choice but retreat to the Abyss and seek aid from the then-domineering Lion Scorpion Goddess.”

“But as the Lion Scorpion Goddess rose in the Abyss, her influence on the material plane was limited, so she could only bring them into the Abyss. The sky-swallowing python was also an exceptional genius and merged its kingdom directly with its own God’s Kingdom before diving together into the Abyss World. Since then, this civilization vanished, and now it has occupied a prime Abyssal Plane.”

Li Yao finally understood and his expression changed, “So that’s how it is–a grand ambition indeed, scheming so far ahead even when her own footing wasn’t stable. Was she not afraid of making wedding clothes for the Mistress of Spiders?”

The Black Dragon Queen shook her head, “That’s where her intelligence lies. Who would have thought that the Lion Scorpion Goddess, even amidst severe injuries, could spend her essence to bring a coordinate structure down here during a projection release? Perhaps Mistress of Spiders came here to investigate and sensed the presence of a hidden structure, but since it lacked the Lion Scorpion Goddess’s aura, she disdained to look further.”

“Not one of these chief gods is simple. If the Lion Scorpion Goddess successfully secures her footing, even challenging the Mistress of Spiders, then this place might indeed become one of the four major portals linking the Abyss with the main plane. By that time, the plans of the Mistress of Spiders will certainly crumble before the Abyssal Army,” Li Yao deduced.

“We’re still not on that level; thinking about these things is pointless. There must be many treasure chests around. Are we not continuing to explore or heading into the pyramid, Master?” the Black Dragon Queen asked.

“Those chests at best contain Gold, which is unimportant. Let’s go into the pyramid instead, there must be dark-gold level or even better inside, which is what I need,” Li Yao shook his head.

Edward also said, “After all, it’s a grand exploration site meant for thousands of people. It might take us ten days and a half a month to explore it fully. Let’s directly explore the pyramid for now, then return to complete our actual task.”

The portal was a large gate, and due to the illumination of the light beam, the gateway opened without hindrance for Li Yao and his companions to enter the pyramid. But the moment they stepped inside, the portal closed, and the pyramid once again disappeared into the desert…
