In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 187, One of the Four Pillars, Kongming

The Realm of Blazing Fire.

Yan Lingfei let out a long breath, hugged Lin Ran from behind, pressed herself against his back, and felt his breath.

Lin Ran led her back to the top of the pyramid, where Zhou Yu, the Spirit Master, and Jian Linglong were all.

He smiled and nodded.

"The problem is solved. From now on, the Blazing Fire Realm will also be one of the areas under the jurisdiction of the Human Alliance. As for future developments..."

The result was briefly explained, and everyone indicated that they understood and did not inquire further.

The team led by Lin Ran did not focus on urban development; how the Yanhuo Realm developed was actually not of much concern to them.

The corresponding rewards are because the Flamefire Realm is equivalent to half the area of ​​the Human Race's Mother Realm. If all the rewards were given out at once, it would seriously affect the operation of the Heavenly Eye itself.

So we chose another approach.

The mother realm will migrate people to establish cities and develop them. Whenever a region is fully controlled, a reward will be given for that region.

As part of the installment interest, Tianyan will offer an additional 30% reward.

The rules of fairness in the Human Race's Heavenly Eye are engraved in the basic logic, so there's no need to worry about problems arising in this regard.

The AI ​​within the alliance might have problems, but Tianyan (Sky Eye) certainly won't.

After the explanation.

Lin Ran instructed everyone to recover and digest their energy.

Zhou Yu and the Spirit Master both raised their cultivation levels to around the mid-to-late stage of the sixth rank. Because the improvement was so significant, they were somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Jian Linglong can improve her Soul Nourishing Technique by following his spiritual realm.

Yan Lingfei's cultivation level stabilized at the peak of the Upper Divine Fire Realm/Sixth Rank.

Because breaking through from the Divine Fire Realm to the Transcendent Realm requires the fusion of spirit and spiritual energy.

It's best to do this process yourself rather than relying on external help.

Lin Ran sat cross-legged in the air, and Yan Lingfei knelt down accordingly, still hugging him from behind.

Lin Ran said she didn't understand, but it was comfortable, so she didn't care much.

He focused his attention on three skills: [Soul Nourishing Technique], [Four Pillars of Destiny Technique], and [Sword Manual].

We neglected them before in order to improve our combat power, but now it's time to pick them up again.

……

time flies.

At the end of the first month after taking control of the Flame Realm.

The space above the pyramid suddenly twisted and shattered, gradually forming a giant wormhole, and then slowly stabilized.

Lin Ran glanced at it and then continued cultivating.

This is because the Heavenly Eye established a passage between the Mother Realm and the Blazing Fire Realm, allowing for direct teleportation and saving countless hours of travel time.

The first group to appear consisted of Kongming and a group of extraordinary individuals, as well as a large number of researchers from various fields and elites from various industries.

Kongming glanced at Lin Ran from a distance, waved his hand to isolate the area where the group was located to prevent them from being disturbed, and then began to assign tasks.

The area within a ten-kilometer radius of the pyramid was immovable, while various arrangements were made outside of it.

The Heavenly Eye also sent a clone over to attempt to contact and merge with the control, so that this place could possess the attributes of the mother world.

Ordinary humans cannot survive in the battlefield of the heavens and can only undergo environmental modification.

After the transformation, the increased population will boost the clan's fortune and significantly enhance the power of the Heavenly Eye, creating a positive feedback loop.

While chaos reigned outside, Lin Ran remained calm and undisturbed in his cultivation.

More than half a year later.

With the help of the FAST telescope, an area with a radius of 10,000 kilometers has been successfully transformed, turning wasteland into grassland and establishing the prototype of a city. The next step is to gradually relocate the population for further development.

At this time, Lin Ran's cultivation also came to a temporary end.

【Soul Nourishing Technique - Sixth Level LV1: 10/500】

【Four Pillars of Destiny Method - Level 6 LV1: 10/500】

【Sword Manual Part 6 - Killing Sword Intent LV1: 10/500】

His spirit, physical body, and spiritual energy all broke through to the Upper Divine Fire Realm!

The Sword Manual targets the enhancement of willpower, and can directly annihilate the soul. It can kill souls with a strength of less than the mid-stage of the sixth rank with a single glance!

The cultivation is over.

Lin Ran awoke, while Yan Lingfei, Zhou Yu, and the Spirit Master had already finished their cultivation and were now traveling through the newly built sixteen cities.

The superhumans are extremely efficient at building cities; each of the sixteen cities can accommodate tens of millions of people.

This is only because the long-term situation is uncertain; otherwise, the population that cities in core locations can accommodate is in the hundreds of millions.

Lin Ran looked up and saw a clear sky without a cloud in the sky. She was so confused that she almost thought she had returned to the human race's mother world.

Apart from the fact that the fire elemental energy in the air is higher, this place is almost exactly the same as the human race's mother realm!

A large number of ordinary people have moved to the city, and the Alliance has never lacked in terms of population.

If it were completely liberalized, the population would explode every year.

What limits the development of the human race is the speed at which the Sky Eye can modify the environment.

As Lin Ran moved her body, a figure suddenly appeared silently beside her.

He was startled, but relaxed after seeing that it was Kongming.

Lin Ran stepped forward and cupped her hands in greeting.

"Senior Kongming."

"Um."

Kongming nodded slightly, gazing down as if lost in thought.

Lin Ran didn't disturb them and waited quietly to the side.

a long time.

Kongming turned his gaze. Her eyes were unusual; they had no whites or pupils, only a hazy, floating mist.

Lin Ran could tell that it was a manifestation of spatial rules, and it had a high degree of similarity to the spatial rules in his mental space.

The clear, ethereal voice was very soft and empty, as if it came from another space, yet it was clearly audible.

"You did a great job."

"Thank you for your praise, senior. Senior, the inheritance here seems to be very beneficial to the human race. Are you secretly helping us?"

Lin Ran asked the question because the process had gone too smoothly.

Normally, taking over a territory would never require just a few people.

Kongming remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Emperor Yan, the fifth pillar that the alliance has never mentioned."

"..."

Lin Ran remained silent, truly not expecting this outcome.

I thought it was the driving force behind the Four Pillars, but I never expected that the inheritance itself was prepared by the human ancestors!

Kongming continued to explain,

"Emperor Yan's will was corrupted by the alien race that was skilled in mental combat. Knowing that he could not resist, he left the alliance early on."

Ultimately, a mother realm collapsed here, annihilating a foreign race, and the remains of the mother realm were used as nourishment for the future of humanity.

At that time, the will of the Mother Realm was not yet clear. If Emperor Yan borrowed power, it would cause the will of the Mother Realm to be corrupted as well, causing the human race to completely lose the opportunity to rise.

You may have seen shadowy figures and lights, but have you heard the words of Emperor Yan?

"No, not at all." Lin Ran shook her head, a sadness in her heart overshadowing the joy of human expansion.

Kongming nodded slightly.

"Emperor Yan couldn't even leave behind his last will; his legacy was obtained by Yan Lingfei. As the captain, you shouldn't disappoint Emperor Yan."

"That's only natural."

Lin Ran felt a heaviness in her heart.

Kongming remained silent.

a long time.

Kongming opened his hand, revealing a pale blue cube and a storage ring in his palm.

"This is your reward, and your team's reward. It contains my cultivation insights. You can imitate it within the Rule Realm, but you cannot use it to break through to the Rule Realm, otherwise you will be cutting off your own path."

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Ran held the cube in her hands and stored it in her mental space.

Kongming nodded.

"Go and cultivate. I will stay here for a while. If there is anything important, you may call me by my real name. My name is Bei Chenyu."

"Yes, senior."
