Savi Bay was the most famous populated area in Ansorenne. It was also the border area of the legendary Sea of Storms.
Along the coastline, there were dozens of large and medium-sized cities. The total population and floating population exceeded a million. They had all kinds of industrial chains, from the advanced spaceship manufacturing to the most basic daily necessities and food production. They were the best in Ansorenne.
Due to the excessive investment of resources and the effects of the Elemental Tide, they even led the development of Aishi industries in certain areas. For example, the core of the magic armors were precision instruments, magic conduction facilities, and magic crystallization industries. This meant that the average level of the magic armors here was even higher than the Aishi mainland.
Ten years to plant trees, and a hundred years to nurture people. Even for a technological civilization, who knew how many years and resources it would take to turn a barren wasteland into a populated metropolis, let alone a barren wasteland like Ansolion.
Countless locals came to Aishi because of its reputation. They brought their own technology and specialties. Under the new social structure and knowledge system, they gathered together. Today, it had become a self-updating and evolving system of talents, research, training, and advancement. Every year, there were dozens or even hundreds of new technological achievements that benefited Aishi greatly.
At this point, the large-scale settlements had begun to feed back to the Aishi mainland.
It was like a huge sucking stone … no, a black hole. It constantly absorbed the local human resources, natural resources, and environmental resources, producing huge benefits in all aspects. Not to mention technology and property, it was even the best tourist destination and gathering place in all of Ansorenne. Even the modern real estate industry had begun to take shape.
In many people's eyes, this was a perfect example of a successful colony in Eich. The original Savi City was just like Dounia back in the day, with nothing at all. But as long as one was able to stabilize the territory and provide enough safety and employment opportunities, local resources would automatically enter this "advanced" living area and eventually become a part of this social system.
In fact, this was the orthodox investment method of Ansorenne's Aishi investors. It was also the development strategy that they had concluded over the years. They explored for resources and determined the potential for future development. The large churches took the lead in developing local industries and building settlements. They attracted the local residents, tribes, and ethnic groups to move in. They assimilated, industrialized, and became citizens of the three generations of herdsmen and hunters.
The people of Lueich were extremely cunning, especially in terms of culture and living standards. Through the weakness of intelligent lifeforms that instinctively pursued a better life and better entertainment, and with sufficient military strength as the backing, they could easily shatter all traditional and primitive social structures.
As long as this system worked, the initial investment would soon be repaid. A new god would become a great god, and a small church would become a large church, a large society, or even a large country.
It was the same for large colonies like Savi Bay and Ashes Valley, as well as the Harlet Wasteland in the future. The only difference was the background of these colonies.
That was an extremely troublesome and dirty matter that involved the political, ethnic, and diplomatic competition of the two worlds. In the end, there were basically no large colonies that could be completely controlled by the original creators.
But because of the alliance between the Aishi Order Gods and the various countries, as long as the original creators didn't seek death, they could at least keep a piece of their own territory and develop it steadily.
The background of a first-tier area like Savi Bay was even more complicated.
Rorschach had previously seen a magazine report that pointed out the support of seventeen churches above level seven. Now, how many large churches were there? Rorschach estimated that it was at least three digits. Rather than saying that someone was involved, it was more accurate to say that the major powers had forgotten to intervene. At least, it wouldn't require much investment to set up an office, a branch company, or an industrial district and wait for a share of the profits.
"Who started it? Who worked the hardest to get it? That's not important at all. What's most important is the future of stable development and balanced distribution. "
The first-tier areas of Ansorenne were basically like this. It was normal for there to be conflicts between each other. Splitting the profits was a small matter (the symbolic amount of dividends was extremely low). The core was to avoid fighting to the death. The mechanism of exchanging information and communicating with each other had always been there. Before the development of Ansorenne was completed, large-scale infighting was stupid and meaningless, but it was indeed happening all the time … After all, intelligent creatures, especially intelligent creatures (humans) who worked together to fight for their own interests, could sometimes be quite stupid.
Every first-tier area was a gathering place for countless groups and churches that had conflicts of interest. It was a core area of interest that couldn't be given up. They would rather plunder a 300 square meter unit with a sea view in a certain commercial district of a core port and have the price skyrocketed, than to open up the free wasteland in the outer regions.
After all, the former was definitely profitable, but the latter required time to accumulate. If one was unlucky, they would lose everything. Even if they could make some profit in the end, they might not be able to keep up with the soaring prices and inflation.
It had to be said that this was a change in the era. When the era of traditional and glorious chivalry was heading towards its end, the pursuit of profit without boundaries and bottom lines of capital caused the development of Ansorenne to change.
"I originally thought that it would be a romantic journey of chivalry. I brought along my old horse and my family's heirloom armor, and even hired the kid next door to be my chivalrous servant. I was prepared to have a bloody battle with the despicable demons and vicious Evil Gods … But in the end, it became a business."
Who knew how many old knights who had survived the Ansorenne era put on their suits and ties. In their clean and bright offices, they looked through the transparent glass windows and looked at the busy passersby below. They sighed, "Isn't this adventure a little too unromantic?", "The children of this generation aren't up to the mark. All they say is money, money, and money. They don't have any chivalry at all." … But they themselves knew that they were already the luckiest among their peers to be able to live long enough to sigh.
Perhaps during the Ansorenne era, there was still the taste of adventure and legends, and there were still the flashes of sacrifice and friendship between comrades. But as the gathering places grew from nothing, from small to large, in the end, everything became a business.
A business only talked about profits. Everything else was just a nice way to put it.
In the past, this was an excellent business that would definitely make a profit. Everyone fought to get in. The knights all became merchants, and the domain lords all became bosses. But in the past few years, there were some setbacks.
For example, some time ago, the Sea Titan's sea patrol and storm attacks caused countless losses. Many bosses who were counting money while lying down lost everything. This also caused many old knights in offices and nursing homes to excitedly chase after Titan in the sea. They were then brought back in various boxes.
Titan's strength dealt a heavy blow to everyone in Savi Bay. Titan, who was once Rorschach's competitor, was just an unlucky bastard from the Mage Country who caused all the acolytes to die in the sea. He was only one of the victims.
It was impossible to calculate the economic losses. But the worst part was that many bases and safe zones became part of the sea again. That was truly a waste of everything.
(Due to the limitation of space) I won't talk about how to deal with the aftermath. If this was a battlefield, it would definitely be necessary to avoid powerful enemies, gather information, and enter a period of strategic retrenchment to prepare for another battle.
However, capital was a great loss if it stopped for even a single day. Many businesses that only lasted for a few months would basically give away their market to others. Because of the countless profit groups and individuals, even if there was no further information, they still did their best to rebuild their businesses. It was just that there were far more mercenaries and mercenary groups now … Everyone knew that this was nothing more than buying some peace of mind in front of Titan.
Messengers had been constantly communicating with Titan. However, it seemed that the master of this place didn't welcome outsiders. Many people who were on a mission couldn't find the door, so they helplessly returned. As for the messengers that disappeared, people would rather believe that they had simply lost their way.
But what was delightful was that this sea really did calm down. God Titan seemed to have tacitly allowed all of this to happen. It seemed that this business could be done?
Since the various major churches and factions suspected that the Elemental Planes were located in this area, the various major churches and factions even increased their investment in this area. As time passed, the shadows of Main God level combat strength began to appear in this area of the sea. With tremendous rewards and benefits, even the highest-level combat strength could be hired.
What? The dimensional barrier's restrictions? Er, since Rorschach and the others were able to obtain the combat strength of a Main God for a short period of time through God's Descent, dimensional projection, and so on, others would be able to do the same. Or perhaps it should be said that since so much time had passed, the number of lucky individuals who managed to obtain the top-level combat strength of a Main God far exceeded what was recorded in the books.
In this prosperous market, many people were preparing for war. However, even more people were still trying to "make a profit at the very end." The old knights' way of thinking wasn't wrong. Times had changed. In this day and age, gold coins were far more powerful than swords … It was just that the Evil Gods didn't seem to think this way.
"Savi Bay, complete annihilation."
These short words, just a few words, spread throughout the entire world six hours after the war started.
When the fog of war that filled the sea and sky dissipated, what was left behind was indeed a gigantic Dimensional Door.
Countless demons and ghosts surged out from within. While the battles in other areas were coming to an end, and Rorschach's battle could even be considered a complete victory, everything that happened here made all the witnesses realize …
"… Has the hundred-year war begun again?"
Every world had its own structure and path of structure. The higher level would be the so-called natural laws of the world. To be more direct, it would be the personal habits and subjective thoughts of the Creator (Creator).
"The heavens are above and the earth is below. Gravity pulls everything down. Why does gravity exist? Er, in any case, that's how it exists. Why don't you go ask the Creator? "
Aishi and Ansorenne were a complete system. The two opposite elements (Order and Chaos) countered and supported each other. The four elemental skeletons (Time, Space, Soul, and Life) were the core of this system.
The specific composition of the four elemental skeletons could be chosen from other elements, depending on the elemental plane's composition. However, since they were still part of this system, the corresponding concepts of Life and Soul wouldn't change.
With the Life (Earth) and Soul (Thunder and Sky) elements being finalized, as well as the Titan providing the Titan with the types of elemental powers that the Titan Sovereigns possessed, the remaining two elements and their corresponding elements were naturally identical.
"The oceans and volcanoes can only refer to the Pillars of Space and Time."
"The oceans are still fine. Previously, the Eye of the Storm and the Sea King Titan had already determined that the entrance to the ocean plane should be near Savi Bay. However, where are the volcanoes and magma? Could it be in the Valley of Ashes, the land of the Devils? "
"Don't be silly. That's the territory of the lower planes. If there really was something there, those Devils who are proficient in spatial magic wouldn't have discovered it."
Many guesses had already caused many debates. There were at least a few hundred theories regarding the location of the final elemental plane. However, in front of the truth, the most unreliable and unacceptable theory had been verified as the truth.
"… Although that place is indeed where volcanoes and magma are concentrated, how are we going to fight in that environment?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Attack that area? Even if we win, the world will be destroyed. "
"… That's right. Destroy Ansorenne's core? Isn't that the same as destroying our own world? "
Yes, that's right. The core of the earth, the core deep underground, was a place of high temperature and magma. Of course, this was where the volcanoes resided. It was no wonder that the last Titan had disappeared without a trace. Even if they knew where the final elemental plane was, the Aishi People who couldn't find the entrance wouldn't be able to enter deep underground.
After all, the destruction and influence of the earth's core could directly lead to the destruction of the entire plane (the surface).
However, it seemed that the Evil Gods were far more daring and daring than the Aishi People.
Now, a hole had been opened from the earth's core to the surface. Magma and flames were spewing out from the hole, burning everything in its path. The magma and flames that were as hot as a liquid sun were spewing directly into the blue sky.
The exit was the Eye of the Storm in Savi Bay.
Now, at the place where ice and fire met, sparks and ocean currents combined. Flames below and ice above, the power of time and space was forcefully converging in two whirlpools that spun around each other.
The cracks in the earth were constantly spewing out thunder flames. The seawater was directly evaporating. At the core of the elemental convergence, a Dimensional Door was faintly opened in the hands of two gigantic existences.
Countless black existences spewed out. The first complete Evil God descended upon Ansorenne.
At the outpost, the Evil Gods didn't win. The Aishi People didn't lose.
And so, a dimensional war that was destined to last for hundreds and thousands of years erupted.
