Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?
Chapter 39 - 39 30 The Role of Heaven Mountain

39: Chapter 30 The Role of Heaven Mountain 39: Chapter 30 The Role of Heaven Mountain “Question!” Nora raised her hand obediently, “What are Half-plane Fragments?”

“It’s a space,” Aske explained.

“There are multiple-dimensional spaces in the universe, similar to this book in my hands.

The main world space we’re in is like one page in the book.

Although the pages are closely bound together, they are parallel to each other, and as two-dimensional figures on the pages, we don’t have the ability to cross into a higher dimension to reach another page.”

“However, sometimes two parallel dimensions overlap,” he demonstrated by bending two pages and making their edges join.

“That way, we can move from one page to another, that is, from one space to another.

Each space is a plane; some smaller spaces are half-planes.

If torn apart by external forces, the smaller pieces that result are Half-plane Fragments.

This book is the key to that Half-plane Fragment, an anchor to that space.”

“Does that mean?” Nora immediately realized something, her beautiful eyes sparkling, “A special space belonging exclusively to our team?”

“Wait,” Eleanor also raised her hand.

“I don’t understand.”

“It’s simple, Ellie,” Nora explained to her, “just like in legendary novels where the hero’s party always has a wizard, right?

When the hero’s party is exhausted from a day’s adventure, the wizard will summon a house with plenty of hot water, wine, and food supply, giving the team a chance to fully rest and rejuvenate.

This Half-plane Fragment is similar to a house that we can summon.”

“That’s fantastic,” Eleanor said.

“I could go for some hot water, wine, and food right now, Squad Leader.

Can you conjure them up?”

“Of course not,” Aske said with a laugh.

“As you all have seen, the space sealed in the book is nothing but an island without any food, drink, or other resources…

It used to have a whole bunch of Dream Sect corpses and creatures, but I just expelled them.

They’re probably at the bottom of the sea by now.”

“That’s not very useful then,” Eleanor shook her head.

“Even though there’s nothing inside now,” Peggy, who had been silent, spoke up, “we can put things inside.”

“That’s it!” Nora clapped her hands, “We can put stuff inside, that island is so big it could match countless warehouses!

We’re going to travel around the world!

We can toss in all kinds of supplies and wilderness survival equipment, and take them out when needed without worrying about transportation burdens!”

“As for how to use the Half-plane Fragment, we can brainstorm,” Aske said, looking at the sky to estimate the time.

“The merchant ship won’t arrive until the afternoon; I might as well summon the island now…

to prevent this small boat from being swept away by the waves to who knows where.”

He opened the book, summoned his Spirituality to push open the door, and the island instantly appeared on this piece of ocean.

Everyone settled back at the center of the clearing on the mountain top.

“Think it over, everyone.

If you could decide, how would you use this island?” Aske stood up and walked leisurely outside with his hands behind his back.

“You guys discuss freely first, and later I will come to ask for your answers.”

So the three girls began to eagerly discuss.

Aske went to the edge of the cliff, overlooking the island, and began to recall everything related to the Heavenly Mountain Fragment.

In the official narrative, Heaven Mountain wasn’t originally a fragment—it was a complete, vast island floating in outer space, inhabited by numerous wild Angels.

When humanity’s Colonial Starship first approached this planet, the Angels of Heaven Mountain also noticed the steel behemoths that had emerged from the void.

Instinctively, they considered these steel monsters as enemies and dispatched the High Sequence Demigods of the tribes.

They destroyed one of the starships with their Radiance Abilities.

The human Colonial Starship was dumbfounded by the attack.

They had thought it was an uninhabited planet suitable for human habitation, only to discover there was an alien civilization present.

Since one of their starships had been actively destroyed by the opposing side, the Colonial Army Commander then ordered a retaliatory strike as a probe.

A thousand “Revelation” space torpedoes, each loaded with a yield of two hundred megatons of hydrogen bombs.

And then, there was no more after that.

Heaven Mountain activated an emergency teleportation Array into a Half-plane before destruction, and then it was shattered into 25 pieces by the blast, scattered into who knows which planes by the shock wave.

When the human Colonial Army saw how weak it was, the entire floating island being destroyed by our nuclear bombs, they cautiously started to enter orbit for landing.

Please disregard all the unscientific elements mentioned above, as this is just an official setting for an online game; it doesn’t need to be too hardcore.

Being too hardcore might actually hamper sales.

In short, Heaven Mountain was destroyed by nuclear bombs into 25 fragments, scattered across different Half-planes.

In the latter part of the Second Epoch, the Ancient Sirius Dream School collected all pieces of Heaven Mountain from the Half-planes and sealed them into the 25 volumes of the “Dream Analysis,” a mystical book, in an attempt to resurrect the complete Heaven Mountain.

Then, the Peloponnesian War broke out.

Ten years of war nearly crippled all the colonial city-states of Ancient Sirius, and the Macedonia City-states took advantage of the situation.

The Extraordinary School of Macedonia was the “Arcane School,” whose Transcendents were the prototype for the profession of “War Mage” in the later Eastern Solomon Empire.

Due to their extreme emphasis on the application of Extraordinary Abilities in the military, the Arcane School wasn’t very friendly towards most academic Extraordinary Schools, including the Dream School, so the reunion process at Heavenly Mountain was also interrupted and has remained incomplete to this day.

One can see that having lofty ideals is good, but one must also consider the course of history.

From the perspective of the game, the 25 fragments are essentially 25 special benefits for guild players—equivalent to having their own guild strongholds, and they don’t even have to pay taxes to the local Lords.

The use is also very simple; one way is to summon them to the current world, just like the demonstration earlier, which applies to oceans, wilderness, deserts, and other uninhabited areas; the islands will integrate with the real environment once summoned.

The other way is for everyone to teleport there, as Peggy and Nora mentioned, bringing a large amount of living supplies and using the Half-plane Fragment as a portable warehouse and residence.

Aske pondered slowly in his heart, then paced back.

He could only hear the three girls fiercely arguing.

“We should build a castle,” Eleanor said earnestly.

“The center of this island is a mountain range, naturally suited for defense due to the high ground, coupled with the vast flat area at the peak…

I’ve roughly estimated it to be nearly ten thousand square meters; not building a military castle would be a waste!

I tell you, as long as we build a castle on the top of the mountain, and then clear the trees down below, no amount of enemies could advance!

And as long as we deploy sufficient Throwing firepower at the top of the castle, we can cover every corner of this island!”

“Ellie, we already control this Half-plane Fragment.

As long as we’re unwilling, enemies can’t even enter this space, so what’s the need to build a military castle?” Nora shook her head incessantly, with a regretful expression as if to say “you’re wasting resources.” “We should build an estate, and not just atop the mountain; the woodland area below is also an excellent environment.

I have already researched; the mountaintop is suitable for an estate with a great panoramic view.

At the foot of the mountain, we can cut down trees properly and divide the area into flower fields, a racetrack, and a woodland.

We could even follow the practices of the Dream Heaven Sect and raise Extraordinary Creatures down there!”

“We could hollow out the mountain, set up various traps and mechanisms, making it look like ancient ruins,” Peggy replied, with a touch very characteristic of a Great Demon King.

“Then we release news that there’s treasure hidden here, attracting other Transcendents to come treasure hunting.

Once they get killed, we loot their belongings.

If the Church comes, we take the book and the entire space and flee.”

“We should build a castle,” Eleanor ignored Peggy’s suggestion.

“Even from an aesthetic standpoint, a grand and majestic castle is superior, and also more durable and sturdy.”

“Apart from Ellie, no one wants to sleep in a cold stone room,” Nora retorted without hesitation.

“And, stone material is hard to clean!

In humid weather, it easily molds and grows moss, sticky and utterly disgusting!”

“So, a big estate is easier to clean?” Eleanor argued.

“Your plan would require thousands of servants to ensure daily maintenance!

Would it not be covered in dust after a week?”

“Then we hire thousands of servants,” Nora said.

“This is our team’s exclusive space!” Eleanor said incredulously.

“You want to hire thousands of outsiders to come in?

What if they leak information?

Don’t we care about our secrecy?”

“I can borrow family servants from my brother,” Nora said nonchalantly.

“They’re the lifetime servants who have served our family since their childhood, signed with a lifelong binding contract.

Let’s start with bringing over a thousand!”

“Oh!” Eleanor was defeated by the other’s wealth; a thousand lifetime servants—what a concept…

Her father’s entire castle had less than a hundred servants, and just their monthly wages were a significant expense.

“No,” Aske declared, “You can’t let your family know.”

“Why?” Nora asked, puzzled.

“Because they will borrow it,” Aske said tactfully.

Nora almost instantly understood.

A portable island in the commercial realm—what was that concept?

Equivalent to a super-gigantic logistics transport tool!

For perspective, the largest cargo ships at the time only had a carrying capacity of a few hundred thousand tons.

With this island, even tens of millions of tons of goods could be stored; just throw them onto the island space.

Then, all it would take is a low-level Transcendent carrying the book to fly to the destination, use Spirituality to open the space, and release the goods…

The logistics cost could be nearly zero…

Nora covered her face feeling defeated.

Other people aside, just take her business-minded older sister, who would definitely decisively cancel all contracts with all logistics suppliers at hand, then relentlessly wheedle and pester to “borrow” the book, with the kind of borrowing without any intention of returning…

So the question arises.

Did they fight tooth and nail to obtain this treasure, just so Nora’s sister could add a few zeros to her year-end sales figures?

“You’re right,” Nora said resignedly.

“We absolutely can’t let anyone know.

Or to put it another way, we can’t let anyone besides our team know.”
