Two years ago, before Zhang Tie set off for the Western Theater of Operations, the seeds of various plants that he ordered from Jiang Clan of Herbal Palace in Taixia Country had been delivered to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory by Jiang Clan of Herbal Palace.
Although Jiang Clan delivered the seeds a bit late, the seeds in the seed bank were sufficient in quantity and quality, including 125471 underground plants, 39817 aquatic plants and hundreds of thousands of plant seeds. After Jiang Clan of Herbal Palace delivered these seeds to Heller, Zhang Tie had moved these seeds into Castle of Black Iron and handed them to Heller. As of now, besides over 100 extremely rare plants, Castle of Black Iron had all the plants in the outside world.
Over the past two years, with the growth of these seeds, they could provide more and more aura for Castle of Black Iron. Plus the aura provided by those plants that Zhang Tie sowed in Castle of Black Iron, the aura that Castle of Black Iron could produce each day could completely match or even surpass the basic energy storage of the Abyss of Elements in Castle of Black Iron.
"Castle of Black Iron has already created the most suitable geographical environment for all the seeds. All the plants are growing very well …"
"I've already seen it …"
When Heller spoke, Zhang Tie fixated onto those food seeds that he had sprayed in Castle of Black Iron at the beginning. =
The walnut woods within thousands of square miles had gradually grown up. All the walnut trees in the woods were growing very well. Watching this walnut woods, Zhang Tie could imagine the bumper harvest of walnuts across thousands of square miles in the future. Besides walnuts, there were also various fruits and medicinal herbs in the walnut woods. Many of them had been ripe.
As there were too many ripe strawberries on the mountain of strawberries that Zhang Tie sprayed, many ripe strawberries fell onto the ground, forming a carpet of strawberries. When people walked on it, they felt like stepping on the pulp of strawberries.
The pine trees in the pine woods had already grown very high. Additionally, mushrooms could be seen everywhere on the ground. The entire pine woods was like a fairytale world. Additionally, there were many large pieces of top-quality truffles under the pine woods.
Some valleys were filled with delicious berries. When the berries fell on the crevices and low-lying areas, they actually started to ferment naturally. The entire valley was filled with a layer of fragrance that only existed in berry wineries.
There was also a peanut plain that spanned over a thousand square kilometers. The peanuts on the plain had all ripened, making the entire ground beneath the plain look like a huge peanut warehouse.
Those sunflower seeds that Zhang Tie sprayed over the plain turned into golden heavenly roads.
As for other things like potatoes and fruits, they were almost everywhere.
Very few people might have seen a paradise; however, Castle of Black Iron was already a paradise in the eyes of many people.
"Those residents in Castle of Black Iron have built many huge warehouses to store various grains. They brewed fresh fruits into drinks, preserved fruits and dried fruits. They made potatoes into starch and collected various medicinal herbs. However, as Castle of Black Iron grows larger, even though those residents could reproduce, the increasing speed of population could never catch up with the expanding speed of Castle of Black Iron. The larger Castle of Black Iron is, the more complete living system should be formed inside it. That's the balance of the universe …" Heller told Zhang Tie.
"You mean I could bring more people in …"
"It depends on you, Castle Lord. What I want to say is that there are too few animals in Castle of Black Iron. Plants are the foundation of animals. Now, we've already got this foundation …"
"Yes, Castle of Black Iron could make more preparations for the future …" Zhang Tie nodded, "The aura value that Castle of Black Iron could generate and the basic energy storage basically match. Therefore, as long as we have enough merit value, Castle of Black Iron could expand constantly. Am I right?"
After knowing that demons had unimaginable existences above sage-level knights, Zhang Tie felt a bit gloomy inside. The greater the threat was, the more important Castle of Black Iron would be; especially when Zhang Tie lost his battle strength, Castle of Black Iron's ability and function would be more prominent. In Zhang Tie's heart, the more perfect and large Castle of Black Iron would be, the more people it could save in the future.
"Castle of Black Iron already has massive merit value. What's more, the merit value that Castle of Black Iron could generate daily could already match the aura value and basic energy storage …"
"What? You mean Castle of Black Iron could generate merit value constantly every day?" Zhang Tie widely opened his eyes at once, 'When could Castle of Black Iron generate merit value itself?' Why didn't I know that? Is it a new ability that Castle of Black Iron has evolved? '
"Yes, Castle of Black Iron could generate a large number of merit value automatically every day."
"What happened?"
"Castle Lord, have you forgotten about the bet between you and Sagus the Abyss Monarch of demons?" Heller watched Zhang Tie as he said, "Castle Lord, you won. The bloody oath that Sagus the Abyss Monarch made has already taken effect. As long as this bloody oath takes effect, numerous commoners in Taixia Country could avoid the miserable fate every day. Therefore, as long as this bloody oath exists, Castle of Black Iron could generate a large number of merit value constantly!"
"If the Demon God's Blood Oath no longer exists, does that mean that the endless amount of merit points that I get every day will also disappear?"
"Yes!" Heller nodded as he said meaningfully, "Therefore, Castle Lord, if you want Castle of Black Iron to generate a large number of merit value constantly, you have to maintain the binding force of Sagus' bloody oath!"
The key point to maintain Sagus' bloody pledge was that Sagus had to be alive. Only when Sagus was alive could this bloody pledge be binding. If Sagus died and a new sage-level knight took over the demon army, this bloody pledge would cease to exist. As a result, Castle of Black Iron couldn't produce merit value constantly every day. As a result, the expansion speed of Castle of Black Iron would be influenced. As a result, fewer people could be saved in the future …
As long as Sagus was alive, Castle of Black Iron could save many people in the future …
Zhang Tie stood on the hillside outside Castle of Black Iron for a long while as he felt that everything in this world was like a black humor.
…
Actually, it had already taken Zhang Tie 2 days to digest the fruits of consciousness of universal laws. Besides, there were also some fruits of redemption from the gratitude of gulf shrimps and hairy shellfish on the small tree. When Zhang Tie ate these fruits of redemption, he left Castle of Black Iron and returned to the backroom of the head of Iron-Dragon Sect, it was already 3 days later.
Nothing changed in the backroom during the past 3 days. The door of the backroom was still tightly locked like 3 minutes ago.
However, Zhang Tie was not the same Zhang Tie who had just entered the backroom 3 days ago. The fruit of consciousness of universal laws made Zhang Tie realize how trivial he was and almost reconstructed the world that Zhang Tie knew. Additionally, Zhang Tie saw the real crisis facing humans. Compared to such a crisis, the situation facing the Western Theater of Operations of Taixia Country was not the toughest one. The real crisis facing humans might have not manifested yet.
In the backroom, Zhang Tie raised his hands and took a look at them. Closely after that, he shook his head as he muttered, "The consciousness of universal laws above sage-level knight plus the battle strength below knight, what a perfect match …"
After saying that, Zhang Tie revealed a self-mocking smile as he walked towards the outside of the backroom.
…
After leaving the backroom, Zhang Tie was shocked to find Zhang Chengxu was waiting outside the backroom.
As Zhang Tie's nephew, Zhang Chengxu was also Zhang Tie's disciple in Iron-Dragon Sect. Zhang Chengxu slightly frowned. At the sight of Zhang Tie, he slightly relaxed his frown as if he let out a sigh of relief.
"Chengxu, why are you here?"
"Second uncle, eldest uncle has been in Iron-Dragon Sect for one day. He's been waiting for you!" Speaking up to this point, Zhang Chengxu's tone became slightly softer with a hint of sadness. "Eldest Uncle said … said … Great Grandfather is dying …"
