The Ogre put Walker on his shoulder and waved his club, grinning as he walked towards the lair. The Cat-Headed Plant was still chattering.
"Human mages need to chant to cast, so cut off his tongue first. The flesh of the tongue is the most tender and suitable to be eaten raw. I learned how to roast meat from a prey last time, did you learn it?
"Later, cut off a piece of meat from that Extraordinary Lifeform's thigh and roast it. I remember that there is a kind of flower around our lair. After cutting off the meat and covering the wound of that Extraordinary Lifeform, it won't take long for the lost meat to regrow on its own.
"Look, this is the gift of fate. Eat slowly, it will be enough for us to eat for a long time." Ah, I also want to eat meat, idiot, remember to fry me a medium-rare steak, do you understand? "Damn, you idiot definitely won't understand …"
The Ogre grinned and kept laughing, his smelly saliva pouring down from Walker's head like a waterfall. Hearing the words of the Cat-Headed Plant, Walker's expression turned sluggish, his eyes filled with despair. He was thinking about why he had risked his life to come here, it would have been better to just be killed.
Now, he was being raised like livestock by an Ogre and a strange Cat-Headed Plant. His blood, flesh, and soul power were all treated as food.
No one knew what happened to Walker, but everyone thought that he had disappeared or escaped to another plane.
On the other side, the development of the Gilded Rose continued. Anyone with a bit of influence or a bit of wisdom could understand that the benefits of the Universal Core were too great, it even shook the current Magic Tool market.
There were many people who wanted to control the Universal Core, and there were also many people who wanted to use it, but no one made a move. They were all cautiously watching, waiting for the people of the Roosevelt Merchant Alliance to make a move. The people watching were also watching, but many people were also adding fuel to the fire.
Unfortunately, the final result shocked everyone. Just by relying on the Universal Core, the backyard of the Roosevelt Merchant Union was set on fire. If it wasn't for the fact that the people of the desert that the Roosevelt Merchant Union belonged to would definitely not let the Roosevelt Merchant Union collapse and continue to support it, the Roosevelt Merchant Union would probably have collapsed by now.
Apart from this, all the people who had been thinking about it had completely given up on this idea. After all, there was no single power in every market. Every power had its rivals. Being able to be in a stalemate for so many years, on one hand, one party was stronger, and on the other hand, the other party might be stronger. On the whole, it was about the same.
As long as anyone dared to make a move against the Gilded Rose, the Gilded Rose would fall to their side. With this advantage, they might not be able to get rid of their opponents, but they would be able to easily suppress them. A major force might collapse if they were suppressed for a few dozen years.
The Gilded Rose's recent development had become a lot smoother. With the previous matter, their relationship with each of their collaborators had become even closer. With this network of connections, it would be very easy for them to gain a foothold in the Odin Kingdom.
And with the recent developments, Faleau represented the Gilded Rose and formed a relationship with a few noble families of the Odin Kingdom. At the very least, they had a few unimportant collaborations. But this was a good start. Using commercial means to suppress the Gilded Rose was no longer possible.
After returning from a banquet held by a noble family, Faleau couldn't help sighing as he sat in the carriage.
Sir Merlin was thinking too far ahead. The Gilded Rose had already experienced so many things just by selling the Universal Core. If they directly entered the Magic Tool market with the Universal Core, what awaited the Gilded Rose would be suppression from all sides.
With the Gilded Rose's current strength, it would be impossible for them to continue developing in the Odin Kingdom.
But only selling the Universal Core and not entering the Magic Tool market would give the Gilded Rose the capital to negotiate, and everyone would come to cooperate with the Gilded Rose.
In Sir Merlin's words, they were making the market bigger and the profits higher, but they didn't directly enter the market to fight, they only profited from the edge.
The Gilded Rose didn't have much to do with them fighting over profits. The Gilded Rose only needed to provide the Universal Core. This was a lot more profitable than directly entering the Magic Tool market, and it was even more beneficial to the Gilded Rose's development.
Recalling the banquet just now, almost everyone's attitude towards him was very good. No one rejected him just because he was an outsider. Instead, they treated him as a person who stood on the same level as them. Just at the banquet alone, they had negotiated five cooperation projects.
Thinking of this, Faleau couldn't help smiling.
The Gilded Rose's development continued, and the third batch of branches had already started their preparations. It wouldn't take long before they opened. The Gilded Rose's main business was still potioneering and the Universal Core.
Potioneering already occupied the first place in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom. Although it was still in second place, that was because the Gilded Rose's distribution network had yet to fully expand. As long as the third batch of branches opened, all thirty-eight branches would be opened, with Neverwinter City as the core and covering the northern part of the Odin Kingdom. At that time, the Gilded Rose's market share would definitely be the first in the northern part of the Odin Kingdom.
The Universal Core was specially controlled to keep the market in short supply. The Black-Patterned Silver reserves were already enough to make three million more Universal Cores. Moreover, the Black-Patterned Silver wouldn't appear in Noscent, it was stored in Lin Yun's Demiplane, so there was no need to worry about it being stolen.
In the Gilded Rose's headquarters, there was a Planar Path leading to Lin Yun's Demiplane. To be precise, it was only a projection. Apart from the people personally marked by Lin Yun, others simply couldn't think of entering the Demiplane.
Naturally, Lin Yun would be the first to sense others entering the Demiplane. If they fought in the Demiplane, Lin Yun was confident in suppressing a 5th Rank Heaven powerhouse. Even a 6th Rank Heaven powerhouse would be easily suppressed. If he spent a bit of effort, he might be suppressed to death in the Demiplane.
The Natural Demiplane was developing faster and faster, and its size was also increasing. The sky was getting higher and the earth was getting thicker and thicker. As more and more truth runes were carved into the pillar, the Demiplane's evolution speed already surpassed Lin Yun's.
The Space Law had already been born, but it hadn't been perfected. The Darkness Law and the Light Law were already in embryonic form, especially after the appearance of the true moon. The speed at which the Darkness Law was born far surpassed the Light Law. It wouldn't take long for Lin Yun to comprehend the Darkness Law in the Demiplane.
The Gilded Rose was fine, so there was no need for Lin Yun to take care of anything. Lin Yun ran to Agalon's small hill.
After going through Agalon's training, his control and utilization of the Natural Demiplane had definitely reached the 4th Rank or even the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm. Even if there were some things that he couldn't grasp, Lin Yun understood that he would naturally grasp them as long as he was strong enough.
The Natural Demiplane's rapid development and the evolution of the Laws far surpassed Lin Yun's comprehension, making it easier for Lin Yun to comprehend them.
His comprehension of the Laws had reached the pinnacle, his mana accumulation was negligible, and his control over power also surpassed his current rank. He naturally reached the peak of the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm and could advance to the 4th Rank at any time.
Since there was nothing else, Lin Yun ran towards Agalon. In Noscent's history, Agalon was the one who used and developed the Natural Demiplane the most. The people who obtained the Natural Demiplane later on might be stronger than Agalon, but their understanding of the Natural Demiplane couldn't compare to Agalon's.
How many of the future mages researching the Natural Demiplane had seen a genuine Natural Demiplane? How many of them had experienced the development of the Natural Demiplane?
The viewpoints of their research could be used as a reference. If he believed them, then he would just be waiting to be led into a ditch. Ever since going through Agalon's training, Lin Yun was even more convinced of this point.
If those crazy mages of the future truly researched something, then it would definitely be the truth. Anything that could be recorded in the decaying library could be believed.
But he wasn't so sure about the research of the Natural Demiplane. After all, he hadn't truly experienced it, so the research was all theoretical.
When he reached that small hill once again, the changes in the Spatial Law had become even more intense. Lin Yun had no choice but to use all his strength to barely set foot on that small hill.
The surroundings were still filled with a starry sky. Agalon was lying on a recliner, looking at the stars in the sky with an obscure aura emitting from his body. His gaze had become very deep, as if he was looking at something else when looking at the starry sky.
Lin Yun walked forward and calmly waited on the side. Although Agalon didn't have a nominal relationship with him, they were teacher and student. He taught him so many things, and with Agalon's personality, Lin Yun respected him a lot.
After calmly waiting for over an hour, the obscure aura emitted from Agalon's body suddenly dissipated.
"You waited for a long time."
A smile appeared on Agalon's face. He was clearly very satisfied with Lin Yun's progress.
Lin Yun respectfully stood on the side.
"It wasn't long, only an hour."
Agalon nodded. He looked at the starry sky and hesitated for a bit before suddenly speaking.
"Does your Natural Demiplane correspond to Noscent's coordinates?"
Lin Yun froze. He didn't understand what Agalon was talking about. The Natural Demiplane's coordinates would be there wherever he was, and after entering the Natural Demiplane, the coordinates of the Planar Path would be left behind.
Agalon raised his head and looked at the starry sky as he mumbled to himself.
"The Natural Demiplane has many more uses than you can imagine. The Demiplane established by a Heaven Mage is only a Demiplane, and the coordinates leading to that Demiplane are always the mages themselves."
Lin Yun instantly came to a realization.
The projection he left in the Gilded Rose was similar to a Planar Path, it was similar to a coordinate, but it wasn't a true Planar Path. Even if it was a true Planar Path, he could still set it up.
And the Demiplane established by ordinary mages didn't have this ability. The Demiplane established by ordinary Heaven Mages was the vessel of their own comprehension of the Laws, it was completely different from a Natural Demiplane.
Using Noscent's Natural Demiplane and Noscent's coordinates to create a coordinate …
Then there was only one purpose, to prevent getting lost!
Why would they need a Natural Demiplane to prevent getting lost? There was only one reason, the endless void!
Lin Yun glanced at the starry sky and understood what Agalon was trying to say.
Getting lost in the endless void was a very normal thing. During Noscent's Planar Colonization Era, countless explorers of new planes were forever lost in the endless void. There were even some Heaven Mages who disappeared for a few millennia before being found by later generations in newly discovered planes.
One of the most important achievements of the Planar Colonization Era was the Starry Sky Lighthouse. At the peak of the Planar Colonization Era, every force would build such a Starry Sky Lighthouse. As long as they had the corresponding Magic Tool, even if they got lost in the endless void, they could still sense the Starry Sky Lighthouse through their Magic Tool and return to Noscent.
But there were still so many people who never returned, mainly because there were too many things interfering with their senses. Void Storms, Elemental Storms, Solar Storms, spacetime turbulence …
If they were unlucky and there was too much interference between the Magic Tool and the Starry Sky Lighthouse, they would be lost forever.
But it was completely different with a Natural Demiplane. Lin Yun's Natural Demiplane had already stabilized, and the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind Laws had already finished evolving. The Space, Darkness, and Light Laws were also evolving.
This was the embryonic form of a complete world. A complete world would inevitably have a complete set of spatial coordinates. With the Natural Demiplane facing Noscent, he could use those coordinates to construct a Planar Path in the Natural Demiplane and directly appear in Noscent!
Even if he got lost in the void, he could use the Natural Demiplane as a stepping stone to return. He would never get lost in the endless void!
Because no matter where he was, Lin Yun could directly return to the Natural Demiplane. This was the power of the Natural Demiplane.
Lin Yun remained silent. Although he knew about this before, he hadn't thought in that direction, because the few people who obtained Natural Demiplanes in the future would forever disappear in the endless void.
It was recorded that Agalon would go to the starry sky ten years later, but he would forever disappear. If Agalon hadn't said that he would die ten years later, Lin Yun would have thought that Agalon was also lost.
There was only one possibility for the possessors of Natural Demiplanes to forever disappear in the endless void, they all died.
What was in the Starry Sky Battlefield? Countless experts had perished there.
Lin Yun raised his head and looked at Agalon. Agalon was looking at the starry sky with a calm expression.
"Merlin, you have always wanted to go to the Starry Sky Battlefield to take a look. It should be the most peaceful time of the Starry Sky Battlefield, I can take you there to take a look."
After saying that, Agalon's finger formed a circle in front of him. The circle rapidly expanded and turned into a screen of flickering starlight. Agalon stepped into it and disappeared.
Lin Yun followed behind Agalon and stepped into that screen of flickering starlight.
It was as if he had crossed a water curtain, and when he reappeared, he was surrounded by the endless void.
The starry sky was filled with bursting energy and rays of light. There was no air here, and the surroundings were constantly being corroded.
Lin Yun raised his shield and floated in the air. Agalon stood in the void and waved his hand, and a five-hundred-meter-long steel battleship appeared in front of him. Agalon led Lin Yun into the battleship, and that fleeting feeling thoroughly disappeared.
The surface of the five-hundred-meter-long steel battleship was pitch-black and didn't reflect any light. In Noscent, this kind of battleship would definitely be considered a huge steel battleship, but in this starry sky, it couldn't even compare to a drop of water.
The battleship silently sailed through the void, and inside the battleship, a team of puppets was controlling it. Agalon led Lin Yun to the Captain's Cabin, and the surrounding obstructions disappeared. It looked as if they were standing in the starry sky.
In the distant starry sky, a scorching sun was floating there. It was only the size of a plate, and not far away, an ugly meteorite that looked like a beehive and was at least a hundred kilometers in diameter was calmly drifting through the starry sky. If this kind of colossus fell on Noscent, it would be able to destroy a kingdom. But in the starry sky, it looked like an unremarkable small stone was calmly drifting, not making any sound.
The steel battleship silently sailed for half an hour and saw more and more huge meteors. The big ones were a few hundred kilometers in diameter, while the small ones were a few kilometers in diameter.
After eight hours of sailing, they could see countless meteors forming a ring revolving around a several-thousand-kilometer-diameter meteor. That huge meteor's surface was full of potholes, and it looked like a rotten apple core.
And there were a large number of broken corpses of all kinds of lifeforms in those meteors. Lin Yun could see that there had originally been a huge planet there, but it had been forcibly shattered by someone.
Agalon pointed at the pitch-black starry sky in the distance.
"This can already be considered the edge of the Starry Sky Battlefield. The Starry Sky Battlefield has been relatively calm recently, and there haven't been any battles. But it's still very dangerous for you.
"You can't see the undercurrents of the starry sky. If they are powerful enough, I'll be devoured if I don't escape.
"Moreover, there are some Starry Sky Beasts and Void Magic Beasts. They are all very dangerous things. You can only ride a battleship and slowly fly there. Opening a Spatial Door is very dangerous.
"Not only might it cause unnecessary changes in space, but it might also attract powerful Void Beasts.
"I once saw a hundred-kilometer-long Void Beast. It was comparable to a Peak Heaven Rank powerhouse, and its defenses were unfathomably powerful. But that Void Beast feeds on stars, so as long as you don't provoke it, it won't be too dangerous.
