To come forward with the idea of reinforcing the Void City was easy, but it wasn’t as easy to take action.

Dragon balls were high-level artifacts, while the level of Cladema’s dragon ball was extremely high. It wasn’t difficult to use one as the core of a God’s Kingdom, but it was very difficult to use it as the core of an ordinary city.

After all, the power of this dragon ball was too strong!

As an art student, Sui Xiong didn’t learn mathematics and physics well. He wasn’t able to figure out how much energy Cladema’s dragon ball contained, nor could he work out a perfect model that was suitable for the dragon ball project.

But he knew that when he wasn’t sure about something, he should find a quiet place to do an experiment first.

In short, Sui Xiong spent about half a month in the Ashes Woods doing tests and finally worked out a magic array. Combining this magic array with an indoor altar, he could disperse the power of the dragon ball to reinforce the surrounding buildings and safeguard the boundaries.

After this experiment, he decided to put it into practice.

Finally, he chose to prepare the altar in the most central place in the center square of the Void City. Actually, this place wasn’t the dead center of the whole city, but the intersection of life and vigor. If the altar was built there, according to an old Chinese saying, it would be just like a majestic stone tablet in the Capital Square of China that was strong enough to give a whole country good luck.

Sui Xiong had his own sense of “beauty.” After thinking for a long time, he finally decided how to design the indoor altar.

From the outside, the altar would just be a huge fountain. Only by using the specified magic tools could people enter the indoor altar to worship or do maintenance.

The room which the altar was placed in wasn’t high, rather a bit flat. A huge magic array covered the whole floor and roof, which also extended far beyond what the naked eye could see. It was connected with the perimeter of the Void City.

This altar in the center of the room was the intersection of the outer, inner, and upper magic arrays.

The material used in the altar had been created by Sui Xiong and was named “Star Boundary Stone.” This stone was extremely solid, but it had no weight at all. In fact, it wasn’t a real material in essence, but the manifestation of spirit.

The Star Realm was a world of spirits and souls. In this world, sometimes some powerful creatures came into being. If these creatures could die of natural causes, the energy they accumulated over their whole life would gather in their corpse and slowly transform into Star Boundary Stones.

These stones were a condensation of pure spirit, which was known as the magic conductor, so using them to make the altar would have the best effect.

And the cost was also very high.

If Sui Xiong hadn’t had the ability to create things freely, it would have taken years to collect these stars. If one bought them from the Star Realm’s merchants, it would cost them an insane amount of money.

There was a very famous saying that “a problem that could be solved with money was not a problem at all.” Although Sui Xiong had enough money to buy these stones, he would much prefer to create the star stone by himself than spend money on them, because he had once been an ordinary citizen and understood that earning money wasn’t easy.

And he felt that money should be spent and circulate in the market. Buying luxury goods from businessmen was just putting wealth from one bank into another, which was of no use to society.

Money that didn’t circulate in the market was worthless!

Sui Xiong remembered this sentence had often been said by a teacher who studied economics and published his research. However, the teacher had printed his book by paying for it, so Sui Xiong wasn’t sure about his professional accuracy.

Anyway, he had to be more professional than Sui Xiong. This was true.

Over the years, he had been practicing this principle, using money as much as possible in a way so that it could circulate in the market. He believed that he had genuinely promoted social progress a little.

But back to the topic, all in all, Sui Xiong chose to make the star stones, the altar, and even the pool above the altar, by himself. There was a smiling jellyfish statue with big eyes in the middle of the pool. In the whole Church of Void Mask, only His Majesty would make such a funny statue of himself.

When he came to the altar, Sui Xiong checked it for the last time and confirmed that the magic array and the altar were both in good condition. He took out the dark and shiny Cladema dragon ball and placed it in the middle of the altar.

When the dragon ball floated in the air, the altar began to shine.

Circles of white light slowly fell from the ceiling; oblong green lights rose from the ground. The two lights met at the height of the dragon ball, turning into a soft golden light. When the golden light had brightened to a certain extent, the altar on the ground began to shine. Then a light pillar that contained the dragon ball connected the ground and the ceiling.

The next moment in the magic array, the dragon ball emitted a black light, which eventually turned into a warm white light. It flowed around the magic array, then merged with the boundaries of the city.

Cladema’s dragon ball was incredibly powerful. Merely a little power from the ball strengthened the divine enchantment of the city greatly. If a large number of troops came to attack and the people didn’t want to open the city doors, nobody would be able to come in!

Defense wasn’t the only use of the dragon ball. Sui Xiong created several magic arrays to run daily at the suggestion of the Goddess of Ocean, Ariel, so that residents wouldn’t worry about drought or floods any more. He also created several magic arrays to let the excess energy of the dragon ball be used to supply the power of places like magic schools, temples, and alchemy workshops. What a good idea! It killed two birds with one stone!

“Kill three birds with one stone!” Frost said, digging a small hole beneath the sealed cave where the altar was placed and then lying in it.

“What are you doing?” Sui Xiong asked.

“Practicing.” Frost was very happy and answered, “If I could live here for eight or ten years, maybe I could progress quickly and step into the legendary level!”

Sui Xiong was curious to ask why, then realized that this environment was most suitable for the Rock Dragon. The Dragon ball from Cladema greatly enhanced the effects of the environment.

Frost might have taken about 300 years outside to grow from a young dragon to an adult, while it would have only taken 30 years in this indoor altar.

For dragons who enjoyed long lifespans, 30 years passed quickly.

Frost and Graupel were “youth dragons,” so as long as they stayed there for eight or ten years, they could fully grow up and become adult dragons.

Sui Xiong was delighted, because in eight or ten years, their territory would have two more Legendary Masters.

How amazing this could be… Sui Xiong couldn’t help thinking that when there was a conflict with other Gods in the future, he would have to take the core of their God’s Kingdom as soon as possible, since this dragon ball was so great.
