Dragon God, immortal

Managing in a three-dimensional form can achieve more with less expenditure.

"I will set up a branch of the Watcher School in Chuangjie Mountain. At that time, I will allow humans from the kingdom to enter for further studies." Shushan promised.

Below is the kingdom power headed by the King of Amon Kingdom and assisted by the regent of the former four princes. The kingdom hopes to give a reply after some time.

Well, Shushan said there’s no rush.

The location of Chuangjie Mountain has not yet been determined.

Maybe he would just pull up a mountain on the Evil Cold Plateau and slice it into the Creation Mountain? That would be much simpler, at least he wouldn't have to make it layer by layer, which would save a lot of energy.

Now, the biggest problem of vertical farms - sunlight - has been solved by light and heat. Should we say that the Dragon God is indeed the primary productive force, or that the Dragon God himself is the means of production? These magical technologies are simply blessings to all farmers!

After the meeting, Shushan also ended the projection and his consciousness returned to his body.

After all, this is a major event between the two countries.

The human side has not yet been completely unified.

It takes time to discuss... and that's normal.

On the contrary, on the Dragon God's side, since the birth of the Charm Bee, the transmission of information in the archipelagoes, plateaus, and Antarctica has become much faster, and communication has become more efficient. Even though they are separated by half a planet, they are as united as a tribe... Don't you see that the Charm Bee flies at supersonic speed every day just to transmit information? These little bugs really have a hard time.

"Phew... don't worry," Shushan said to the insect mother on his shoulder, "I will take care of you. The three-dimensional land of Chuangjie Mountain can meet your needs for space. But... before that, you should control your birth rate."

The charm bees naturally had no objection to this. Shushan's size was equivalent to half of the charm bee swarm... In other words, the decision made by Shushan was the decision made by half of the charm bees, and the entire group should work hard for it.

Yawning, Shushan sat on the ground and looked into the distance.

The Watcher School is over there.

However, this school teaches a lot of miscellaneous things. Some time ago, the cat-man principal asked Shushan to help build a branch so that the growing population of the cat-eared tribe could have more books to read. Shushan thought about it and agreed.

Shushan is the Earth Dragon God, theoretically an invincible being, but... to be honest, Shushan's use of his own power is still quite superficial. He hopes to learn from some other people's magic, hoping to improve his own control ability.

Well, Shushan’s current strength has reached an upper limit, but this upper limit was set by himself in order to prevent his divine power from getting out of control.

There is no need to explain the consequences of losing control of divine power.

Destroying a planet is easy.

Shushan still hopes that his sisters can live happily on this planet, so he naturally doesn't want the world to be destroyed...

"But is it really a good idea to let humans join the cat people's education system?" Shushan sighed, a little confused.

Originally, Shushan did not want to open the cat-people school on Chuangjie Mountain to humans, because to the cat-people, humans are a selfish species that is "not of my kind" and it may be difficult for them to coexist... Shushan, who was once a human, fully agrees with this statement. The genetic instinct of humans tends to be selfish.

It’s not that there is anything wrong with benefiting oneself, but for the group and for a bigger and higher vision, it is a more conducive option for development to integrate individual interests into the group and for everyone to work together for a common cause.

But not long ago, the aging Su Ju walked to Shu Shan's paw with a cane, sat down, and said to him:

"Lord Shushan is a wise ruler. I think humans will soon realize this."

In other words, Suju, the dragon god priestess, wants Shushan to rule over humans.

is this okay?

Would I be a good ruler?

Is the current development of cat people absolutely correct?

Shushan himself couldn't find the answer, but now... he could see the smiling faces of the watchmen from afar, and the sweet sweat of the cat people of the production team at the Tegenkyu Island Wharf. They were all enjoying life, and this seemed... to be a silent compliment to Shushan.

"...I really don't like violent rule." Shushan sighed, so he accepted the cat man's proposal, which was to assimilate some humans who recognized Shushan's ideas through education, and then... in units of hundreds or thousands of years, integrate the power of more races.

For what? At that time, Su Ju answered with what Shu Shan had said to her: "Haha, Master Shu Shan... didn't you say that it was for the stars and the sea? The vast ocean and the endless void are not something that can be traveled by a single race..."

Shushan was shocked and a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Awesome, this is Suju’s goal.

Actually, Shushan's current plan is to wait for his sisters (brothers) to settle down. This time span will be about two to three hundred years. During this period, he will eliminate the threats from other races and observe the advanced magic technology of other races. If there is a chance, he will use this to improve the quality of life of the dragon gods.

Ruling the world is exhausting just thinking about it! Just being a cat person requires a lot of consideration! The world is so big, who knows how many races there are? How many people are there? In the end, do I really need to rule the world?

"Well... come to think of it, building the Creation Mountain is also a form of escape, an escape from the path of ruling the world..." Shushan sighed, stood up and walked towards the experimental field.

Dong~dong~dong~

Steady footsteps.

The tree mountain, which is hundreds of meters long, is a daunting sight when walking on Tegenkyu Island.

"Master Shushan, Master Shushan! Good afternoon! Would you like to eat some steamed bread?" The cats, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, followed Shushan one after another, and some naughty ones even climbed onto Shushan's tail.

"I don't need it. It's not dinner time yet. I'm trying to lose weight." Shushan chuckled. After mastering the [Self-Strengthening Magic], Shushan has been controlling his own weight to avoid reaching the limit of one thousand meters too quickly... He has a premonition that if he can't fully control the divine power before reaching the limit of one thousand meters, something uncomfortable will happen to the dragon.

"Master Shushan! Can I adopt a bee? My tractor is too heavy. Wouldn't it be better to let a bee plow the land?" A cat-man jumped onto Shushan's shoulder and chatted with him side by side.

"Haha, the bees have their own jobs too, so don't always rely on the power of insects... Speaking of which, isn't your fourth-generation tractor in use?"

"Ours isn't very good. The energy efficiency is still low."

“Can you find the problem?”

"I'm looking for it! I'm looking for it!"

Shushan chatted with the cat people in a random manner, and came to the port in the north of Tegenkyu Island, where he sat on the beach and looked out.

Seeing Shushan resting here, the cat people stopped disturbing him and circled around him, wagging their tails before leaving... This shows how friendly Shushan is among the young cat people.

Of course, this is Shushan's usual style... As a ruler, he lacks "dignity" so much that he needs the cat man to teach him how to act "dignified"...

However, if we remove Shushan's numerous identities.

His essence is just an earth dragon.

A dragon who only wants to eat stones and grass!

"Oh... No, no, I can't be lazy. My sisters are still working, how can I be lazy as a brother?" Shushan shook his head and said something to the people at the dock to remind them that he had to cross the sea before he got up and walked towards Zhangqiu Island.

Well, when Shushan steps into the water, the waves within a radius of two thousand meters will be flattened. In such a sea area, even the Dragon God will find it difficult to sail, so when Shushan enters the 'Hand-Palm Channel', it is better to inform the cat people.

Take a short walk on the sea.

Shushan saw Zhangqiu Island.

This made him sigh that he had grown up a little bit, and he actually had an absurd feeling that the world was shrinking.

"Master Shushan, you came here at this time, you must have something to teach me, right?" A tortoise-shell cat-person came to greet him. Her name seemed to be... Hua Dai? Shushan couldn't remember clearly, he only remembered that she was Bai Xue's spouse.

"Yes, was Obsidian's experiment successful?" Shushan nodded. He was kind to all cat people because he regarded all cat people as a group.

"It was successful for now, but it was done under the solidification of the enchantment. Without the constraints of magic... it may not be effective." Hua Dai sighed.

Then she climbed onto Shushan's shoulders and led Shushan towards Thumb Ball Island.

In Shushan's eyes, cat people are a group.

There is nothing we can do about the birth, aging, sickness and death of individuals.

The wisdom of collective thinking will never die.

Even Shushan had to admit that the cat-man was very smart. He could learn a lot of knowledge at a glance and could quickly conduct experiments, draw conclusions through practice and put them into practice... This was something that Shushan, a dragon, could not do. After all, he was just a single dragon, and his strength was 'small'.

Obsidian Jadeification is a big experiment that the cat people are conducting. How big is it? If this experiment goes well, the magic deciphered can even explain the connection between the spiritual world and the material world! What's more, it may be able to explain the nature of magic and soul!

Shushan was a little confused at this point. He only knew that this magic was very powerful and could even change existing concepts of magic.

However, concepts are bound to change, and Shushan is ready to accept new things.

"Well, thank you, Lord Shushan." Hua Dai jumped off Shushan's shoulder.

"You're welcome." Shushan replied subconsciously.

"That's not right, Lord Shushan. You should say 'hmm' with a blank expression at this time, right?" Hua Dai teased.

"Let me go. I will act like a ruler in front of outsiders. Now... let me relax a little..." Shushan smiled. At his age, he is already the grandfather of most cat people.

That's right, for the current Cat's Claw Islands, Shushan is the elder of the entire race, his authority cannot be disobeyed, and his decision is the direction of the entire archipelago's cat-ear tribe! But it is precisely this idea that has brought a lot of pressure to Shushan... He is not sure if he can lead the current cat-ear tribe well.

After all, the technology of the Cat-Eared Tribe has still reached a certain bottleneck. The next step will probably be the era of complete industrialization. By then, the size of the entire Cat-Eared Tribe may exceed that of Shushan today.

Well, size is one thing, and combat effectiveness is another.

The average combat power of cat people is not high.

Hua Dai led Shu Shan into a cave. This cave actually came from the Thumb Ball Island. It was created by Shu Shan when he ate the mine.

This entire Thumb Ball Island is actually an iron mine, but now, the rich ore areas have either gone into the belly of Shushan or been sent to the blast furnace in Mianlong Valley for processing. Now the remaining poor ore is no longer worth mining.

“Lord Shushan, we have analyzed the effective components of obsidian. To be honest, these components are so simple that we can even... synthesize them with the two simplest materials.” Hua Dai brought Shushan to [Shushan Special Dragon Parking Area] and explained to a group of cat people.

"Well, the composition of obsidian is not complicated." Shushan nodded. He knew that obsidian was the product of rapid cooling of acidic lava. Its main components were silicon dioxide, silicates, impurities and the like. The overall material was similar to glass.

"You also know that in our definition, crystal and quartz are the same substance, but crystal is in a crystalline state, while quartz is in a glassy state. Therefore, compared to quartz, crystal is more 'brittle' and 'harder'." Hua Dai said as she took out two transparent crystals.

"Yes, that's generally true... Hei Song once complained that the hardness of quartz made by different cat people was different..." Shushan said and shook his head. The production team leader also passed away.

"Similarly, this jet-black graphite is the same substance as diamond, except that diamond has a stable crystalline state, so it is harder and more brittle."

"Then what? Is there any connection between this and obsidian?" Shushan nodded and continued to ask.

"The active ingredient of obsidian is a certain state of graphite, embedded with crystal."

Hua Dai took out a piece of obsidian that they made themselves.

Shushan stretched out his claws and picked it up.

Well, in order to make it easier for Shushan to observe, the cat people even made the obsidian into a ball with a diameter of one meter. They really worked hard.

This is a crystal filled with fine black particles and reinforced with magic. The black particles inside are naturally graphite. In a reflective environment, the entire piece of obsidian will reflect a subtle steel gray in addition to the gray base color.

With the magic ability of cat people, they can knead crystal-like crystalline substances, but it seems that other substances are not very effective except crystals... Either it takes a very long time to obtain, or it requires a lot of magic power...

"This is a qualified 'obsidian'." Shushan nodded. As the Earth Dragon God, he could judge that this stone had the same magical properties as the obsidian in the wild and was an interchangeable magical material.

"But this 'obsidian' is in crystal form," Hua Dai said.

The crystalline state is a high-energy state relative to the glassy state.

The transformation from a low energy state to a high energy state will absorb heat or magic.

But obsidian is very abnormal. It releases magic power when it becomes a high-energy state. According to analysis, this magic power is confirmed to come from the spirit world...

Chapter 100: The Mountain of Creation is connected to the Mountain Beyond the Mountain~

The structure of the obsidian seems to have formed a kind of 'magic well' that can draw in the magic power from the spirit world.

It is for this reason that demons and goblins can jump into the material world through obsidian.

Shushan has always been curious, why is obsidian special?

Now there is an answer.

What is special is not obsidian.

It's the 'magic well' microstructure of obsidian. If you artificially synthesize the same magic well structure, you can use it to replace obsidian.

Although Shushan often uses obsidian for projection, obsidian is not a very good projection material because obsidian... is too brittle. It is very, very brittle. Its hardness is slightly lower than that of crystal, but its brittleness is about the same as that of glass.

Normally, it was fine. Shushan could use [Self-Strengthening Magic] to reinforce himself, allowing the projected giant to remain intact. If he hadn't been attacked by other magic, it would have been fine. But if he was with his sisters, the slightest bump would cause them to fall into pieces...

Even primitive people can make obsidian blades with stone tools, which shows how easy it is to break obsidian... The obsidian statues that Shushan has projected have all turned into pieces of broken glass without exception, which are almost unrecyclable and can only be thrown into the magma to be reshaped...

"The plastic giant is good, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with me. My best projection material should be something like rock or plant matter." Shushan thought so. This was his experience.

Of course, the best projection image of light and heat may also be related to light and heat, or in other words, something that can carry light and heat without being easily deformed.

The only thing Shushan could think of was alloy.

So he promised to give Guangre an... alloy colossus.

Currently, cat people are also conducting experiments...

The Dragon God can only wait and see the outcome...

"Lord Shushan, the most suitable colossus for Lord Guangre would probably be some kind of gold alloy, right? Would you like to try those precious metal alloys in your collection?" Hua Dai stood at the foot of Shushan and looked up to ask.

"Osmium-iridium alloy?" Shushan nodded when he heard it. His [Neutron Beads] were wrapped with this alloy. It didn't have any special meaning, except that the precious metal was extremely rare in the earth's crust. As an Earth Dragon God... it wasn't too much to have a little hobby of collecting, right?

"Of course, if there is enough gold, I think it would be a good idea to use pure gold. But now the gold reserves of the archipelago... well, are all in Lord Shushan's belly." Hua Dai said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I will separate some gold out some other day, and I'll leave it to you then." Shushan nodded. The cat people will hand over all the precious metals to their dragon god and let Shushan keep them for them.

In a sense, Shushan is the 'Dragon God Savings Bank'...
