Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

You look beautiful in that dress!

“Really?” Penny was also very happy, as she hadn’t had the chance to wear a long dress while at the lighthouse.

The two went outside, and Xu Wen looked at Penny and said with a smile, "You look so beautiful. This dress suits you perfectly."

"Thank you!"

"Don't be shy, from now on we'll all live here like family!"

Xu Wen's words were not just politeness.

That's just how life is here.

Subsequently, Qin Bohan began to gather villagers to help Jingyuan and the others build a house.

Jingyuan and Penny designed the cottage according to their own ideas, and then it was modified by someone in the village who was good at design.

Once all preparations were complete, the men of the village, led by Qin Bohan, went into the forest to cut down trees.

The houses in the village are all made of wood, and all the furniture is also made of wood.

This forest became the villagers' primary building material.

Watching the villagers use saws and axes, Jingyuan realized that he didn't need such troublesome tools at all.

The iron tools in the village are all equipment and materials that were transferred from the research institute back then.

Jingyuan asked Qin Bohan for some materials and polished a circular saw.

He easily obtained the timber for construction using a circular saw.

The villagers were all amazed by Jingyuan's abilities.

Here, no one is afraid of Jingyuan's superpowers; they just find them novel and convenient.

Jingyuan handled the moving of the wood all by himself.

However, Jingyuan didn't understand the specifics of cutting and building.

Jingyuan did all the simple cutting on his own, but for the fine carving, he had to rely on the villagers.

Jingyuan used his telekinetic powers to build the house, saving him a lot of trouble. In just two days, the new house was completed.

Since Jingyuan and his group had just arrived, they didn't have much savings.

On the day the new house was completed, every household in the village brought rice and vegetables, and cooked and feasted at Jingyuan's house, making it a lively occasion for them.

Jingyuan discovered that the people here had lived in a closed environment for a long time and had extremely simple minds.

They lived together like a family. They were also very welcoming to Jingyuan and Penny, the two outsiders.

This kind of enthusiasm was unprecedented, even in Dragon Bone Village, let alone at the Lighthouse.

With everyone's help, Jingyuan and Penny not only built a new house, but also started a new life.

With the help of the men, Jingyuan began to cultivate his own land and learn how to farm.

He designed a plow himself and used telekinesis to control it to clear land; the whole process was simple and quick.

With the help of women, Penny began to learn how to make silk threads and cloth using plants such as cotton and linen.

The two fully embraced a life of farming and weaving.

……

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

After Tasia escaped in her spaceship, she received no news from Jingyuan for a long time.

She thought that if Jingyuan escaped, he would definitely try to return to the lighthouse.

So she led everyone from the lighthouse back to the lighthouse.

Inside the lighthouse's central command hall, everyone fell silent.

Jingyuan has not returned, nor has anyone been able to contact him.

In other words, Jingyuan's fate is currently unknown.

After learning about the situation, Mark decided to go find Jingyuan himself.

Bai Yuekui remained silent for a moment, then prepared to accompany Mark.

Mark, Ran Bing, Bai Yuekui, Tasia, Ailiya, and Master Lai once again boarded the Swift and set off for the beautiful new continent.

With Master Lai's help, they confirmed that there were no traces of Devouring Beasts near the engineering vessel.

The powerful Devouring Beast Tao Jun that appeared at that time did not stay in the same place.

Near the battlefield, they found only Jing Yuan's weapons: the Fang Blade, the surfboard, and the Crescent Blade.

All signs indicate that Jingyuan has most likely been killed by Taojun.

Inside the Swift, Mark looked at the weapons he had collected and fell into deep thought.

“Mark!” Bai Yuekui said, “Judging from the current situation, Jing Yuan is very likely dead. What are you going to do next?”

Mark paused for a moment, then said, "Jing Yuan has already assembled the two anti-gravity systems on the engineering vessel. I still plan to take the engineering vessel back to continue the plan to build the Soul-Destroying Tower!"

Bai Yuekui didn't object immediately, but paused for a moment and said, "Controlling the Soul Extinction Tower requires mental power. Now that Jing Yuan is gone, no one can control the Soul Extinction Tower. Even if you build it, it may not be of any use."

Mark fell silent again.

Seeing this, Ran Bing stepped forward and said, "No matter what, Jing Yuan met with misfortune because of this construction ship. We can't let his efforts go to waste. Since this construction ship can be repaired, why don't we repair it first? Even if we don't use it to build the Soul-Destroying Tower in the future, we can use it as a second lighthouse!"

Aria agreed, "As long as we can connect the anti-gravity device and get the spaceship airborne, we can fix the rest of the problems gradually."

Mark nodded. "Let's do it this way!"

"mark……"

Just as Bai Yuekui was about to speak, Mark stared at her and asked, "Why have you never mentioned the Twelve Kings of the Devouring Beasts before?"

Chapter 231 Do you want a child?

Bai Yuekui was taken aback, and said sadly, "The Twelve Kings haven't appeared for decades. I didn't expect the Gluttonous Lord to appear here!"

Mark clearly sounded somewhat blaming.

Such important intelligence was completely unknown to Mark and his younger generation.

But Bai Yuekui knew.

Even Tasia knew this, but she didn't say a word when Jingyuan was out.

Master Lai stepped forward and said to Mark, "After the Twelve Kings died, they all disappeared without a trace. We're not sure if they all returned to their natural habitats. Besides, Jingyuan's fate is no one else's fault!"

"What do you mean?"

"You probably don't know this yet! Jing Yuan possesses a special ability: he can absorb the life essence of Devouring Beasts. The last time Dragon Bone Village was surrounded by Devouring Beasts, it was possibly because of him."

He absorbed the life essence of the Devouring Beast, which is equivalent to absorbing the life essence of the ecosystem. The ecosystem will not let this go easily.

The twelve kings, including Tao Jun, were directly under the command of the ecosystem.

After Jing Yuan killed and absorbed the King-level Devouring Beast, only the twelve peak Kings could deal with Jing Yuan.

It's no coincidence that Tao Jun is here.

He was sent by the forces of nature to hunt down Jing Yuan.

Mark stood up and questioned Master Lai, "Why didn't you remind him about something so important?"

Master Lai sighed, "I warned him, but he obviously didn't take it seriously. Fortunately, Jing Yuan came here. If Tao Jun had gone to Dragon Bone Village, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Master Lai stared at Mark and suddenly said, "The Gluttonous Lord is one of the top kings among the twelve kings. Apart from being defeated once by the Skull-Born, he has never been defeated."

Mark seemed thoughtful. He turned to Master Lai and asked, "You mean, cranial regeneration is very strong?"

Master Lai nodded and said, "Yes, he is very strong! His strength surpasses that of the Twelve Kings."

Mark was somewhat skeptical. He looked at Bai Yuekui and asked, "Is it true?"

Bai Yuekui nodded, "The strength of the Skull-Born is indeed superior to that of the Twelve Kings. Back then, it was only through the intervention of the Ecological Realm that the Skull-Born was able to be suppressed."

Mark frowned and said, "You say... I'm a skeletal clone, so why don't I have his power?"

“Because you are still in an incomplete state right now,” Master Lai said, seemingly impatiently.

"You mean... that modification surgery!"

"Mark!" Ran Bing rushed over immediately.

Mark had already told Ran Bing about modifying the Devouring Beast, and as expected, Ran Bing naturally refused.

"It's alright!" Mark reassured Ran Bing, then walked over to Aria beside him.

"What else is needed to repair the engineering vessel?"

We need manpower!

Mark turned to Bai Yuekui and said, "Boss Bai, there are people from both sides living on the lighthouse now. It might be dangerous to send the lighthouse over directly. So I'd like to borrow your Swift to transport technical personnel over."

"No problem." Bai Yuekui was always willing to grant Mark's requests.

Aria, however, said from the side, "There are two more spaceships here!"
