[First Update]
Salin also had his own plans for the layout of Kushui Commandery. If the continent was in chaos, there had to be a place for humans to cultivate and recuperate. His own demiplane was not bad, but it was his lair. Once someone sneaked in, there would be a big problem.
Salin now had conditions for choosing people to enter Rafael's demiplane. First of all, it had to be someone with a clean background, and even three generations of ancestors had to be investigated.
Second, Salin didn't need professionals, just ordinary people.
Thirdly, once a professional entered the demiplane, Salin would have to use Nature Divine Arts and Astrology to check if they were lying. There would be no loopholes in such a test.
After all, astrology had disappeared for too long, and Salin didn't calculate that there were other astrologers on the continent.
Lie Detection wasn't so easy to fool, unless the person's strength was a whole rank higher than Salin's. If that was the case, Salin wouldn't have to be on guard, and he wouldn't be a match for them at all.
Originally, there was a magic net in Kushui Commandery. Rex had set up the basic facilities, but they hadn't been activated yet.
Salin's magic net had expanded the original magic net a hundred times, and the entire Kushui Commandery was covered by it. Manipulators could fight at a distance of more than fifty miles outside the city.
In other words, Salin had built a magic net in Kushui Commandery that was second only to the floating city.
The magic net was built very quickly. On this day, Salin was commanding the manipulators to add the last layer of protection to the city wall when the floating city suddenly shook.
Salin was shocked, and then he discovered that at the core of the floating city, in the Elemental Magic Tower, the artifact spirit of the floating city had actually ignited its Divine Fire. Salin was quite frightened. He hurriedly flew to the floating city and went straight to the Elemental Magic Tower with Raphael.
Arriving at the Elemental Magic Tower, Salin saw that the artifact spirit was still very obediently controlling the floating city, but when it ignited its Divine Fire, it didn't control its own body.
Salin probed with his mental power and found that the artifact spirit's Divine Fire was ignited in the broken jade. He was finally relieved. If the Divine Fire was burning outside, he wouldn't be able to control the artifact spirit at all.
After the Divine Fire was ignited in the broken jade, the artifact spirit's strength suddenly rose to level-thirteen.
Salin could be proud of himself. The artifact spirit he possessed was a false god.
The difficulty of becoming a false god wasn't low, because those who believed in the Weave God were all Manipulators. Salin only had a few hundred thousand Magical Controllers under his command. Even though each of them had powerful mental energy, they could not compare to the hundred million followers of the Church.
Raphael was a bit confused when she saw that the Artifact Spirit had become a God. She herself was at level 13, and even though she had been suppressed, she should have ignited her Divine Flame. Could it be that he lacked something?
She asked Salin, but Salin knew nothing about it.
It wasn't like one could become a Semi-Divinity realm cultivator just by reaching the thirteenth rank. There were so many heroic spirits over level thirteen in the Abyssal Royal City, but none of them had ignited their Divine Flames.
Raphael, on the other hand, was an angel and learned divine spells. Becoming a god was almost the only way for her to advance.
At first, Raphael wasn't in a rush. However, seeing that the weapon spirit had become a God, Raphael fell into deep thought.
If she could become a god, she wouldn't have to entrust Salin to take care of those metal angels. But now, the Demon King God had appeared, and the metal angels' faith was being absorbed by the God of the Weave. They would have nothing to do with her in the future.
Seeing that Raphael was a bit disappointed, Salin said, "Are you worried that I'll use these metal angels?"
Raphael nodded. Salin said, "When these metal angels become devout believers of the God of the Weave, I'll let them have a space to resurrect in the floating city. When that time comes, as long as the God of the Weave doesn't die, these metal angels won't die. "
Raphael smiled bitterly. In that case, the metal angels would still be Salin's fighters.
However, angels were born as weapons. Only a small number of angels existed to praise the gods. It wasn't an honor to become an angel that praised the gods. Such angels had no sense of self and only knew how to pray every day. If a god wanted to descend to a plane that was difficult to reach, these angels would be the first to choose to be possessed.
Raphael didn't feel it at first, but ever since she followed Salin and saw how Salin created gods, Raphael had an indescribable disgust for praising gods.
Endless prayers, endless preaching, gods …
What gods!
There was a trace of pain in Raphael's golden eyes.
"Okay, let's leave this place and go to Holy Rock City." As Salin spoke, he summoned all the Necromancers to stop their work and no longer buff the walls of Kushui County.
Holy Rock City was no longer a threat. The artifact spirit had become a god, and Salin no longer had to worry about the defense of the entire floating city. And he might be the first Mage to control a god.
In the past, Mages had only captured gods to refine equipment, but not like Salin.
Salin's way was unleashing the power of a god to the extreme.
The winged skeleton and Nelis felt Salin's thoughts at the same time, and they also knew about the changes in the floating city. Both of them were shocked. They originally thought that the advancement of the artifact spirit was just an advancement of the floating city.
This floating city was a huge piece of magic equipment. It was incredible that the artifact spirit of magic equipment was a god, even if it was a false god.
Salin sat steadily in the center of the Magic Tower. He was anxious to go to Holy Rock City because there had been no news from Holy Rock City, which was a bit strange. If Rex and Prince Sephiroth were to fight, they should have sent him some news.
Originally, Salin was going to complete the construction of Kushui County before going to Holy Rock City. After all, he wasn't confident. Now that the power of the floating city had suddenly increased to a level that even Salin didn't understand, Salin was already confident in dealing with Prince Sephiroth.
So it didn't matter whether Kushui County could protect itself or not. Take down Holy Rock City first, and no one would pay attention to this remote city, even if it was Rex's fief.
The floating city shook continuously above Kushui County. The giant's bone crystals flickered with golden light, and then clouds and mist sprayed out of the floating city, forming a huge dark cloud in the sky with a diameter of nearly a hundred miles.
This was Salin's Cloud Walk. The artifact spirit of the floating city was directly released, enveloping the entire city in it. It suddenly accelerated in the sky and flew eastward.
This floating city used Salin's flying method, reaching a terrifying speed of more than three hundred miles.
Salin himself felt a bit ridiculous, because this was the artifact spirit using the power of the Divine Fire, not burning the magic core to propel the floating city.
In other words, when Salin activated the floating city in the future, he wouldn't need to burn the magic core at all.
All the magic furnaces were only used to maintain the operation of the magic net. Even the magic net didn't consume as much as before. The entire floating city was under the control of the artifact spirit. When the Manipulators fought, the artifact spirit observed from the side and replenished them.
The combat limit of all Manipulators was raised to Level-13.
However, Salin didn't have any Level-12 demons to use, and no Manipulator could release Level-13 spells. Not to mention that there were no Level-13 spells in the magic net to store.
This was the flaw of the magic net. Without magic in the magic net, it could never be released.
The current floating city's defense method was Cloud Walk. Within the clouds, there were layers of ripples, all of which were Salin's Water Pattern Shield. Salin couldn't raise the Water Pattern Shield to Level-13. This was a mutated spell he created, and unless he reached Level-12 himself, no one would know the future of this spell.
So the layers of ripples and the water elemental shield were all only Level-11.
The artifact spirit grasped the power given by Salin and enveloped the entire floating city in a bubble. If there were no clouds, the people on the ground wouldn't be able to see the floating city clearly. The huge bubble reflected sunlight and formed a very magnificent view.
The powerhouses in the floating city all felt this change. The power given to them by the artifact spirit was almost endless. At least at their level, that was how they felt.
Salin, however, felt differently. The artifact spirit's use of his magic was still a little inexperienced, but the power was too great.
This allowed him to understand the loopholes in his magic. Things that he couldn't detect at all before, Salin personally verified one by one in the artifact spirit's display of magic.
"Master, I really want to find a target to test the power of this floating city," Nelis said eagerly.
"There will be plenty of opportunities. Nelis, what are you doing here?" Salin saw Nelis squeeze into the control room of the Elemental Magic Tower and said to her, "Continue to summon demons, I need the floating city to fully operate."
Nelis said with a bitter face, "Master, the floating city's magic net has a total of three layers, and to fill them all will require 3.6 million Manipulators. I can't afford it … "
"Idiot, this artifact spirit has become a god. Although it's only a false god, the little demons can already gain power through prayer. They don't need that much food and drink at all!" Salin knocked Nelis's head and urged her to work.
Originally, Salin couldn't afford to raise too many demons. These Manipulators had to store countless demonic insects as food in the Space Warehouse of the floating city. Now it wasn't needed. After these Manipulators became believers of the gods, their physical consumption was reduced, and they could replenish their power through prayer.
In essence, these Necromancers were turning into angels.
Although they didn't need to eat too much, the consumption of Manipulators wasn't as small as Salin said. The artifact spirit was only a false god, and it had to be hidden in the Elemental Magic Tower and couldn't leave at all.
These Manipulators had to be in the floating city to receive the blessings of the gods.
What did the artifact spirit use to bestow believers? It was still Salin's magic core. The energy decomposed by the magic furnace would be absorbed by the Manipulators on the floating city as a replacement for food and drink.
