Seeing the city that he had lived in for many years reduced to ashes under Li Xiang's attack, Lélie's emotions were complicated and excited. He had waited for this day to witness Li Xiang's return with his own eyes, to witness the city's new vitality.
Li Xiang's shot shocked countless players who were hiding and watching secretly. Many of them did not know enough about those above Level-9. They only thought that they were creatures of legends. The strongest people many players had seen were not even Level-9.
Li Xiang was very strong, but no one had a complete idea of how strong he was. Now, he had personally given them the answer.
With just one shot, the vast and boundless City 0126 was razed to the ground. All the buildings on it, as well as all the traces left behind, vanished into thin air.
From this moment on, the City 0126 in their memories was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by a brand-new super mechanical city.
"My shot also shattered the underground. We've already made preparations for the early stages of development. The projects above and below must be carried out at the same time. Neither side can be left behind. The outermost fortifications must not have any elements of skimping. The construction team and the factories that make mechanical creatures will also be moved here immediately … "
Li Xiang rambled on, explaining clearly the plan for the pilot area of City 0126 as quickly as possible, covering all the aspects that needed to be done and paid attention to in the first phase of the project.
Lélie listened very seriously and carefully. Although his strength was average, after becoming a Magician, his memory was very strong. This amount of information was not enough to stump him. He just did not know why Li Xiang was willing to waste time telling him all this.
After the plan was launched, his time was the most precious. He should not waste it here.
Lélie wanted to say something but stopped. He could not bear to interrupt this young man. In the blink of an eye, the young man who had trembled a little when he first participated in the Unified Admission Examination was now almost 30 years old. Time had not left any mark on him. That sense of maturity was especially fascinating and intoxicating.
He wanted to see Li Xiang more. Perhaps he would not have the chance in a few years.
"… Ten days, at most ten days. I want everyone in the Seven Continents to see a brand-new City 0126. I want them to know that my blueprint is not just empty talk." Li Xiang raised his finger and smiled. "How about it? Can you do it?"
"Hmm?" Lélie seemed to realize something and looked at him. "You, you mean …"
"That's right. The construction of the first mechanical city will be supervised by you. This is the plan I came up with a long time ago. It is also the reason why I chose this city. after it is completed, the neighboring City 0127 will immediately join the army." Li Xiang slightly nodded, his tone firm.
Lélie's heart trembled. "But, but my strength …"
Building a mechanical city was a part of the mechanization plan. It was of great significance. It was a safeguard against strong enemies in the future. He was only a Level-2 Magician. He was not even a small wave in the Seven Continents. There were even high-level players among the people involved in this project. What qualifications did he have to lead them?
If this was a reward and gratitude to him, Lélie felt that it was unnecessary. This kind of important matter should be left to someone stronger. Although it was important to cultivate direct descendants, he did not feel that with his insignificant strength, he was qualified to be Li Xiang's direct descendant. Even if Li Xiang did not mind, he was not willing to do it.
Because he could not help Li Xiang at all.
"So what if you are weak? I need you to complete the project accurately without any mistakes. I don't need you to fight the enemies. The supervision work must be done by someone I trust. No one can surpass your feelings for this city. No one is more suitable for this position than you. " Li Xiang smiled, not allowing him to refute, "Captain Lei Lie, don't worry about not being able to control those players. With me here, they won't dare to resist. Moreover, I've also found some helpers for you. Looking at the time, it's almost time …"
Lélie looked at him with a complicated expression. He could not see Li Xiang's true intentions at all.
According to what he said, the supervisor did not need much combat power. It was not even a problem to let an ordinary person do it. But would the high and mighty players really accept this?
Could they really tolerate a magician bossing them around?
He did not say anything more. Li Xiang's decision and vision were far beyond his reach. The only thing he could do was to accept the mission and complete it properly. Fulfilling the mission was the best reward.
At this moment, several streaks of white mist streaked across the sky. A small floating battleship descended from the sky. The cyclone blew the high-rise platform into the eye of a tornado.
It landed steadily, and a group of familiar faces walked down from it.
"Hey, Captain Lélie, long time no see!" Bai Shanshan, wearing her new Polar night uniform, waved excitedly at him. On her uniform was the conspicuous rank of Senior Colonel. She used to be a young and naive girl, but now she was a high-ranking officer in charge of a region. She had matured a lot with age, but one could still see the charm of the past in her lively tone.
Behind her was an old man. His hair was white, but his eyes were bright. He was the old president of the military council who secretly reported Ji Zhanxue's plan to encircle Ming Xu.
"Old, old president!" Lélie was very excited. He quickly stood at attention and saluted. The man in front of him was like a legend in the military. Although he was not one of the top ten military gods, he was a living fossil who had witnessed the history of the military from its founding to its disbandment.
"Haha, the military is long gone. You don't have to salute me." The old president smiled. He was quite happy that someone still remembered the military at this time. He was not afraid of being buried in history, but he was afraid that it would be forgotten.
There were two people behind the old president. One was Bai Yuhan, known as the Mechanical Witch, and the other was Julie. They were old friends of his.
Julie and Bai Shanshan, especially, had fought the invasion of mutants with him in Hou City. They were friends who had gone through life and death together. Later, Julie went to work for Scarlet Moon, and they had not contacted each other since.
"Li Xiang, you have to take responsibility for transferring me from the safe secretariat to work outside." Julie smiled faintly. She wanted to reach out and hit him on the shoulder, but she suddenly realized something. She smiled awkwardly and did not do it.
Li Xiang smiled and patted her shoulder. "Don't be so formal. I'm still me, the Li Xiang who fought with you in the Sky Arena."
"That's good, that's good. Before I left, many people told me that you were already above level 9 and told me not to be too casual." Julie smiled. She was very far away from the level of the players, so she naturally did not know the meaning of this title. She only occasionally heard about Li Xiang's various deeds and felt that it was very distant and exciting.
Only Bai Yuhan's expression remained calm, but her heart was surging like waves.
Not many people understood Li Xiang's experience better than she did.
From the Unified Recruitment Exam until now, he had advanced step by step. His legendary life was shocking.
"How is it? Are you still worried that you can't finish this job?" Li Xiang turned around and looked at Lélie. "Sister Yuhan will be in charge of the work related to mechanical creatures. Julie will be your assistant. Sister Shanshan and the old president will coordinate with the people of the various forces."
"Ten days … I guarantee that I'll complete the task!" Lélie stood up straight, his gaze steely.
.....
After settling the preliminary work of the mechanical engineering project, Li Xiang rushed to the Southern Land without stopping.
This used to be the land under the jurisdiction of the Yue Family and the Chronometer Tower. Ever since the Chronometer Tower was destroyed and the Yue Family suffered heavy losses, the entire Southern Land was torn apart. There were post-war ruins everywhere.
After Li Xiang joined hands with the Moon King to defeat the invasion of the player alliance, the Southern Land finally welcomed a good day. With the help of the New Polar night Alliance, the ruins were uprooted, and new buildings were built one by one.
The area where the Chronometer Tower used to be was set aside and became the headquarters of the training institute.
The training institute imitated the light of mankind. Its style was simple and unadorned. With the New Polar night's terrifying construction army, the prototype of the institute was quickly built.
There were various terrifying and complicated magic formations around it. Thanks to the foundation of the Chronometer Tower, it was easy to set up the teleportation formation. At the same time, Li Xiang personally opened up the Void Tunnel and connected it to the small worlds of the other seven continents.
The training institute was divided according to level, from Level 9 to Level 1, followed by the magic institute. They were separated in various places in this area and did not interfere with each other. The calamities and humans were also separated.
Those who were invited would enroll according to their level. The duration of a training period was one month. They would enjoy the best resources and cultivation environment. They would also be guided by the strongest person of their level.
Similarly, the elimination system was very cruel. Only the true elites, the favored ones, could survive here.
A large number of names that Li Xiang was familiar with were invited to the training institute, including life forms from the Void World like Ellie. As long as they had enough talent and potential, they would be divided according to their strength and enter different training institutes.
Increasing their strength here was not only to save the seven continents, but also to survive when the calamity came.
In various parts of the seven continents, there were specialized training for magic apprentices and ordinary people. They were not expected to contribute much to the final war, but at least give them some hope of survival. Even if they did not know that the end of the era was coming.
These were the only things that Li Xiang could do for them.
He stood at the top of the academy's sculpture, overlooking the world. On the first day of the academy's opening, he felt as if he could see the bustling scene of the Ultimate Trial. Countless forces had brought their respective geniuses here for the sake of learning, for the sake of taking a step forward. However, these students were much stronger than those who were struggling to become players. They could be said to be invincible in their respective levels. Some of them wanted to continue on the same path as him, while others wanted to take a step forward and break through the bottleneck that had shackled them for a long time.
Li Xiang's first promise after establishing the training institute was that everyone below Level 9 would be able to improve by at least one level after one session of training.
It was an unimaginably grand promise. Only a few people in the entire history of the seven continents had managed to improve by one level in a month, especially at the level of high-level players. Sometimes, a level could trap a genius for life. Back then, Owl, Ji Zhanxue and the others were all geniuses, but they could not break through the shackles of level.
Although many of the younger generation had grown faster than their seniors in recent years, it was only a select few, such as Bai Dongxue and Baimiya. A large number of the younger generation were still troubled by the Players' assessment. Those who were lucky enough to become Players were mostly below Level 3, far from being able to participate in the final war.
No matter what method Li Xiang had, his words were enough for those factions to give it a try. And the manpower and material for them to participate in the mechanization program were the tuition fees of the training institute.
There were no complicated opening ceremonies. After entering the training institute, they could find the institute they were given according to the invitation letter and begin training immediately.
Li Xiang was in charge of the Level 9 institute.
There was another person in charge of this institute — the White King, Bai Shili.
Beside the institute's statue, a greenish-white spatial gate slowly appeared. Around it were carvings of white dragons. They looked ferocious and terrifying, as if they were real. The spatial gate opened, and a pure white figure walked out.
This was the first time he had met Bai Shili's real body.
He was his uncle, Ye Tong's biological father. He was the man who had given the order to take Ye Tong away, the man who had changed his life. He was the White King of the "Supreme White King" that countless people in the Bai family spoke of. He was the publicly acknowledged number one player, the only person who had walked the path of a pure player.
His clothes were whiter than snow, and he looked to be less than forty years old. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and his figure was slender. One could vaguely see Bai Lili's face between his eyebrows.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and there was an extreme sense of oppression between heaven and earth. It was as if the place he stood was eternal.
This was the first time Li Xiang had been suppressed in terms of Territory.
That's right, his strange Territory that could break through everyone's Territory was suppressed by the White King's Territory!
"What a powerful aura. Is this the power of an Eternal existence?" Bai Shili glanced at him and said calmly, "Your origin isn't pure enough. There are too many things mixed in. However, I have to admit that whether it's an Eternal existence or the Sanyuan Pillar God, their level is much higher than that of humans."
Bai Shili was not like Bai Lili, who had the favor of the Sanyuan Pillar God and was once an agent. He was also not like Li Xiang, who had their spiritual imprint and contained their power.
He was the purest human. The blood of the Bai family flowed in his veins. He cultivated the path of a player without mixing in anything else.
In terms of level and species, he was indeed much weaker than the other three above Level 9.
However, Li Xiang had a vague feeling that if they were to fight, he might not be a match for him.
Bai Shili was very close to Level 10! He was not someone who had just broken through Level 9 as the outside world thought.
He did not rely on any external means to reach the peak through cultivation alone … Li Xiang could not help but admire him.
He really did not know what such a man could have traded with the Emperor Clan back then.
Li Xiang narrowed his eyes and sensed his Territory. He could not help but ask, "Why …"
"Why can't your Territory break through my Territory?" Bai Shili smiled. "That's normal. Because I don't have any Territory."
"The Territory that you feel is me. It's just the aura that I emit."
