Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 916 The Gift, The Location of the God's Remains!

Meng Yi responded readily: "Okay, it's a deal."

And so, the two top survivors from Earth, the pinnacle of power in the entire Western Continent, quickly agreed on their next plan.

This is their first collaboration.

Prior to this, Cao Xing had not had much contact with Meng Yi and did not know much about his character.

But... he was able to become the ruler of the current human empire, and he even took the initiative to contact me, wanting to form an alliance against Droma.

Furthermore, during the conversation, he showed no arrogance whatsoever, nor did he display any superior attitude.

They were neither arrogant nor timid, treating Cao Xing as an equal ally.

This also shows that this person is not only skilled in many ways, but also has a mindset and magnanimity that far surpass those of ordinary people.

After all, if it were a normal lord from another world, being trapped in a dream for more than a year would be a nightmare.

Suddenly one day, he drove away the dragon and became the ruler of the empire, standing at the pinnacle of power on the entire continent.

Anyone in that situation would inevitably become somewhat arrogant and conceited.

However, there was not a trace of arrogance in Meng Yi's tone.

What Cao Xing didn't know was that Meng Yi had experienced hundreds of thousands, even millions, of deaths in the dream world over the past year, and had already seen through all aspects of life.

In this state, he can hardly be described as an 'ordinary person'.

After all, no one can maintain their original intentions after experiencing millions of cycles of death and reincarnation.

Even his soul has been tempered to be more resilient than the most powerful artifact.

Regardless, Cao Xing could tell that Meng Yi genuinely wanted to cooperate with him.

That's why he agreed so readily.

At this moment, Meng Yi continued, "By the way, as a gift for our first collaboration, I'd like to give you a message."

"Hmm? What's the news?"

"Some time ago, two demigod-level sages from the Holy See secretly sneaked up to the Sacred Mountain of Tian Shu, the center of the human empire."

"They seemed to be trying to steal one of the items, but they triggered a restriction left by the Empire and were severely injured on the spot."

"Now, these two are imprisoned in the empire's most heavily guarded dungeon."

"I think you might be interested in this message."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up immediately, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

He had been wondering why these hypocritical guys hadn't taken any further action after he had completely broken ties with the Vatican last time.

So they were secretly plotting something in the heart of the human empire!

As a result, he was caught on the spot and became Meng Yi's prisoner.

If we include the Holy Eight Sages in their own territory, then in a short period of time, the Holy See has already seen three great sages become prisoners!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He could even imagine how furious those hypocritical guys must be right now.

He composed himself and replied, "I am indeed very interested in this message."

"Do you know what those two guys are trying to steal from Tian Shu Sacred Mountain?"

Meng Yi replied with a hint of regret, "I don't know. These two guys are very stubborn and refuse to say anything no matter what. They also have a seal left by some mysterious being in their minds."

"Moreover, at the very bottom of Tian Shu Sacred Mountain, there is a terrifying restriction that even I cannot enter to explore it."

“If you can get them to talk, I can hand these two prisoners over to you.”

Cao Xing raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "Are you serious?"

"These are two demigod-level prisoners. Even if we kill them directly, we can still get at least two divine flames out of them."

"You're just giving it to me like this?"

Meng Yi laughed heartily: "Of course, we are allies."

"Besides..."

His voice suddenly lowered: "More than the two divine flames, I want to know what the Holy See wants to take away from Mount Tian Shu."

Cao Xing was silent for a moment, then replied, "Alright, I will personally go to the Human Empire after some time."

"Perfect timing, I also have a mission to complete at Tian Shu Sacred Mountain."

At this point, he added, "By the way, did you find a demonic insect in that sacred mountain?"

Cao Xing still remembered that he had an SS-level mission: the Trial of the True God of Balthazar.

The first step of the mission is to go to Whirlpool Mountain and defeat the Extreme Cold Demon Insects.

Tian Shu Sacred Mountain is also known as Whirlpool Mountain, and it is also the location of his mission.

Meng Yi pondered for a moment and replied, "The demonic insect... according to the Empire's intelligence, there does seem to be such an insect."

"However, that demonic insect only seems to be of legendary strength. Is it related to your mission?"

“That’s right,” Cao Xing replied without hesitation.

He was over 90% certain that the demonic insect Meng Yi mentioned was the very one he was looking for: the Extreme Cold Demonic Insect.

"Don't let anyone get close to that demonic insect for now. I'll deal with it when I get here."

"It would be best to send someone to protect it."

Upon hearing this request, Meng Yi on the other end was visibly taken aback.

This is the first time I've ever heard of a request to send someone to protect a legendary monster.

But soon, a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, I see."

"The demonic insect will be fine until you arrive."

"Now, I will begin to coordinate my forces and take action against the kingdoms of the Western Continent."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, go ahead."

After the conversation ended, both parties quickly hung up the communication.

After a while.

Cao Xing leaned back in the large ice crystal chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"call……"

His shoulders relaxed slightly, his expression gradually softened, and he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

It must be said that Meng Yi's alliance has relieved a lot of pressure for him.

Moreover, he immediately took on the most difficult task, a sense of responsibility that Cao Xing greatly admired.

Of course, Cao Xing wouldn't place all his hopes on someone he had only recently met.

He decided to observe Meng Yi for a week or two.

If his progress is slow, then... it's time for Cao Xing to launch a swift and decisive attack, using forceful methods to suppress him!

Assam and Bojie exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat puzzled.

Because they saw that their lord became radiant and the gloom between his brows vanished after he made a phone call.

Assam asked cautiously, "My lord, have you already come up with a solution?"

Cao Xing stretched his body and said in a light tone, "There is no good solution. Unifying the Western Continent is an inevitable step."

"However... someone has already taken this step."

He smiled and said, "Next, we'll focus on improving our strength and exploring for treasures in the frozen sea."

"While we're at it, let's see if we can gather anything related to Droma."

Assam paused slightly, but did not delve into the matter further.

He added with emotion, "I don't know why, but seeing how relaxed you are makes us feel much more at ease."

Cao Xing chuckled upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over his two loyal subordinates: "Then let's continue to maintain this sense of security."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

The two bowed respectfully.

Then, Cao Xing lay back in the chair and closed his eyes to ponder for a while.

I'll also take this opportunity to organize my plans for the future.

He whispered, "The giant chieftain should still be holding the ceremony to awaken the giants in the city walls, and Sarah and the others are outside collecting spoils."

"Let's take this time to check the rewards for that Rank A mission."

This mission rewarded many good things, including a large number of divine power fragments, divine crystals, and philosopher's stones, as well as a legendary blueprint.

The 100% completion of the task also rewarded him with an additional title and a special bracelet.

It can be said that the harvest was very fruitful.

Cao Xing decided to check them one by one.

The first thing, naturally, is that legendary blueprint.

I glanced at the attributes.

[Inter-domain Teleportation Array Construction Blueprint]

[Quality: Legend]

[Blueprint Description: Consumes a large amount of materials to construct a long-distance teleportation array. It can connect with other similar teleportation arrays for teleportation.] [Site Area: 6280 square meters]

[Maximum teleportation distance: Teleportation is possible within this plane]

[Simultaneous transmission capacity: 10 people]

[Teleportation Cooldown: 12 hours]

[Teleportation Cost: 1 Divine Power Shard is required for every 10,000 or fewer people; 2 Divine Power Shards are required for every 20,000 people, and so on...]

【建造所需材料：超级能量站30级、领主城堡30级、秘银*50万、魔纹石*10万、德里墨钢锭*5万、星陨锭*5万、空间晶石*5万、神性结晶*10……】

Construction time: 1544 hours and 32 seconds

Maximum number of employees: 20

(Note: This teleportation array possesses powerful spatial stabilization capabilities and can be built on the edge of two continents to achieve inter-domain teleportation.)
...

"Holy crap, a teleportation array that ignores distance, and it can teleport 100,000 people at once!"

"Isn't the effect of this teleportation array a bit too overpowered?"

Cao Xing stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

After all, this thing is dozens of times more effective than a large teleportation array!

The teleportation array, which could travel any distance, gave him a new idea.

"In other words, I can build an inter-domain teleportation array in both the Frost Oath Wall and my territory, and then teleport the soldiers from my territory over."

"In this way, these soldiers can not only rush to the frozen sea at any time to help fight the ice nest monsters, but also gain experience here to level up."

"I could even get the major kingdoms of the Western Continent to contribute resources to set up several of these teleportation arrays in key strategic locations."

"At that time, it will be possible to complete the troop movement across the entire continent in a short period of time, thereby quickly reaching the battlefield of the Eternal Frozen Sea."

Cao Xing's eyes gleamed with excitement.

Although his idea may sound far-fetched, it is actually entirely feasible!
After all, although the construction of this teleportation array takes more than 1500 hours, the maximum number of workers can reach 20.

In other words, with the full efforts of 20 staff members, the construction of a teleportation array can be completed in just over three days!
Within his territory, he could easily mobilize several thousand staff members.

There are still two months until Zhuoma fully recovers, which is enough time for them to deploy a large number of [inter-domain teleportation arrays] in the Western Continent, forming a strategic teleportation network!
Cao Xing took a deep breath and said slowly, "Of course... all of this is on the premise that those guys are willing to cooperate."

“Before they are conquered by force, they certainly wouldn’t want such a strategic teleportation array to appear on their doorstep.”

"This plan can only be fully implemented once Meng Yi has unified the entire Western Continent."

Cao Xing rubbed his temples and sighed with a hint of helplessness.

"In other words, for now, I can only build this kind of teleportation array on my own territory."

"For example, we can first connect the kingdoms in the North with the Frostsworn Walls of the Eternal Frozen Sea."

He paused, then said with a serious expression, "Besides that, there's another problem: building this kind of [cross-teleportation array] requires a lot of materials."

“Those mithril, Delimo steel ingots, and even space crystals are all easy to deal with.”

"By concentrating the strength of the entire Northern Territory, we can still gather quite a bit."

"But the final [Divine Crystal] is the most troublesome..."

After all, Cao Xing only knows of two ways to obtain this special material so far.

One method is to kill those false gods and obtain a fixed amount of loot from them.

Another option is to complete this highly difficult task.

But regardless of the method, both are extremely difficult and produce very little output.

Cao Xing glanced at his backpack: "Fortunately, this mission rewarded me with 50 [Divine Crystals], which is enough for me to build five teleportation arrays."

"Let's connect the Gale Snowfield and the Frost Oath Great Wall for now, and then we'll figure out how to get more materials later."

He made a decision quickly and pressed the communication device to his ear.

Then, Cao Xing explained his next plan to the four kings, instructing them to focus their efforts on collecting all kinds of rare materials needed to build the teleportation array.

The four kings understood the importance of this matter and solemnly agreed to mobilize all the resources of the ten kingdoms in the North to complete the task.

At the same time, a large number of survey teams will be dispatched to search for these rare mineral veins.

After arranging the material collection for the teleportation array, Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

"Next, we need to check the title attributes of that extra reward."

Open the [Titles] tab, and more than a dozen titles will appear.

Among the earliest obtained items are [Land of Hope], [Fishing Master], and [Star Picker]...

And recently acquired items include [Champion Fighter], [Death Walker], [Ratcatcher], etc...

Finally, he was about to check out the new title: Giant Warrior.

[Giant Warrior (Title)]

[Title Attributes: Strength +15%, Armor Penetration +20%]

[Special effect: Friend of Giants (Reduces damage dealt to you by all giants by 50%, and increases the initial affinity of all giants to Friendly)]

[Title Description: The hero who saved the Ice Giants from fire and water deserves the respect of all giants.]

...

...

"Oh? Damage dealt by all giants is reduced by 50%?"

"It's not limited to the Ice Giant race?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

He checked carefully and, finding that he hadn't misread it, his joy deepened.

At the same time, they also realized the importance of this title.

It's important to know that the Ice Giants are just one branch of the Giant race.

Although they once surpassed the main lineage at their peak, their current strength is still incomparable to that of the main giant group.

Moreover, the giants' main base is in the southern continent.

If he has the opportunity, he would like to take a trip to the Southern Continent.

It might play a significant role at that time.

"This title is quite good..."

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, then continued to check the next reward, which was also the last one.

With a thought, a huge metal ring appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of him.

The ring is a deep ice blue color and has a diameter of over five meters.

Its surface is engraved with ancient patterns, exuding a chilling aura.

Assam and Bojie's gazes were drawn to the large ring, and they looked over in surprise.

Cao Xing circled the enormous object once and remarked, "According to the system's description, this thing was once worn by a certain being... a ring."

"I reckon even the giant chieftain couldn't wear such a big ring."

"In other words, the owner of this ring, in terms of size alone, is even larger than Chief Fren."

This also piqued Cao Xing's curiosity.

He quickly glanced at the attributes.

[The Ring of Yormgard the Abyss]

[Quality: unknown]

Equipment Level: 100 or above

Armor: 2431~2252

[Unique Effect: Ancestral Will (When attacked, there is a 50% chance to trigger Ancestral Blessing, increasing your strength by 10% for 10 seconds)]

(Note: The ring once worn by Jolmgard Ice Abyss, the progenitor of the Ice Giants, can be used to sense the location of his fall through the soul imprint on it.)
...

"hiss--!"

After reading the attributes of the ring, Cao Xing gasped in shock!
The attributes above didn't surprise him; what shocked him was the ring's notes!
"This ring actually allows us to locate the site where a progenitor of giants fell?"

"Does this mean I can use this opportunity to find the corpse of the Founding Titan?!"

He was startled by his own thought!
Cao Xing learned from the giants that the ancestors of the Icefield Giants were the most powerful giants of their time, each possessing combat power far exceeding that of a demigod!
In other words, they were all god-level powerhouses!
And now, he can actually sense the place where he fell through this 'ring'.

Even... obtain the corpse of a god!

Just thinking about it makes my heart race!
Cao Xing took a deep breath and whispered, "The body of a god... even if it has perished, it probably still contains immense power."

"And right now I happen to need a god-level body in two places."

"The first purpose is to repair the artifact: Storm Axe."

"Secondly, it is used to withstand the backlash from the rules when I break through to demigod status."

As for the idea of ​​repairing the artifact, forget about it. After all, Cao Xing wouldn't do something like using the remains of the progenitor giant to forge equipment.

"However... it should still be possible to have the body of this progenitor of giants help me bear the rule conflicts in my breakthrough to demigodhood."

"Perhaps even during the breakthrough process, the body of this progenitor of giants might receive a special opportunity..."
