Novel Full 1012 The Tower of Life
“That’s impossible!” Hong Dali exclaimed in shock. “This entire mountain is a gemstone?! If the attribute of this thing really is…”
“Of course.” The Bureau Chief nodded, he was very certain. “This gemstone is definitely big enough. As for its attribute, that will depend on you. After all, the rest of us are not up to the task.”
“Okay!” Hong Dali nodded fiercely. “I’ll go down now!”
Soon, the spacecraft stopped and the three of them alighted. Hong Dali held a small pick in his hand. When he got to a place where the rocks were exposed, Hong Dali looked around, then saw the Bureau Chief nod. Immediately, he spat into the palm of his hands and then hit the rock with his pick!
Thousands of light-years away, the luck detector device that was measuring Hong Dali’s luck instantly exploded.
Looking at the attribute of the exposed gemstone, Hong Dali started laughing. He was so happy that his saliva almost dribbled out of his mouth. “Hehe, hehe, it seems that my luck is really good…”
“Let me see what attribute it is!” Ji Zining hurriedly reached out and touched the gemstone that had been exposed by Hong Dali’s pick. Then, she lost it. Ji Zining stood stunned for a whole 30 seconds before she started screaming, “Health gem! It’s really a Health gem! A huge mountainous Health gem! God!”
The Bureau Chief had already said that the entire mountain was one huge gemstone.
When Hong Dali swung his pick down and revealed the attribute of the gem inside, it was indeed a Health attribute gem. In other words, the whole mountain was one giant Health gem!
“It’s really… really true!” The Bureau Chief was so stunned that he sat on the ground in shock. “That saying is true. All kinds of strengths and abilities are unable to deal with Hong Dali’s unbeatable luck!”
Health gem mountain, what kind of concept was that?!
If such a huge Health gem was cut, all the Mutated Zergs in the Milky Way would be able to evolve into King Zergs!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Now that the attribute of the gem mountain had been revealed, changes started happening to the gem mountain.
The ground rumbled and the mountains shook!
“Retreat. Quickly, retreat!” The Bureau Chief ran toward the spacecraft, pulling Hong Dali and Ji Zining with him. The spacecraft quickly took off. On the spacecraft, the three of them saw a miraculous spectacle that would probably never be seen anywhere else in the entire universe!
On the gem mountain, an avalanche started.
The avalanche started from the top of the 20,000-meter high giant mountain. What did it look like? It was no exaggeration to say that it was absolutely devastating! Snow a few hundred meters thick rolled down from the top of the mountain. On its way down, it was completely unblockable. Anything that was in front of it was instantly knocked down. The boulders, trees, everything, none of them could hold it back for even a second. They were completely buried in thick snow and washed downward layer by layer.
The snow rushed downwards, swift as lightning. From top to bottom, the entire mountain trembled as if hit by a magnitude 12 earthquake. The earth trembled and the river howled. Countless animals desperately ran away, howling in fright.
After the avalanche, the true appearance of the mountain was revealed.
Green. The color of life.
The entire gem mountain glowed with soft green light from the peak down. The Sun shone on it and the mist made it look like a fairyland on Earth.
“Such a powerful life energy!” Among the three, Ji Zining had the highest physical attributes and the sharpest senses. “This life energy is even rejuvenating my cells! God! This… could this be the legendary Stone of Life?!”
“Stone of Life? What’s that?” Hong Dali was curious.
“The Stone of Life,” Ji Zining slowly explained, “is an extremely large Health gem. It can rejuvenate people’s cells, which means it can effectively extend the life of people living near it. According to records, there is only one Stone of Life with a diameter of about 1,000 meters in the entire Shenglong Astral. It’s in the hands of the Shenglong Astral Royal Family. To think that you actually have a Stone of Life that is even bigger than that one. This is a miracle!”
“So impressive!” Hong Dali’s opened his eyes wide and suddenly burst out laughing. “Hahaha, this is good, this is good. With this, wouldn’t it mean that my father and mother will be able to live to a hundred years old? But the Shenglong Royal Family’s Stone of Life is not as big as our mountain. If we call ours Stone of Life too, it seems to undermine ours. How about we change its name to the Tower of Life?”
Tower of Life! What the Shenglong Royal Family had was barely qualified to be called the Stone of Life. Now Hong Dali had actually found a Tower of Life on the uninhabited star he bought for 20 million! Such luck…
The Bureau Chief and Ji Zining could only sigh. If a person’s luck was good to a certain extent, he could even have the power to destroy the world. Take the Tower of Life for example, how much would it be worth? The amount would probably be enough to buy a few galaxies, right?
Of course, no matter how valuable it was, there was a major premise. That was, New Earth had to survive. If it was turned to ashes by the cannons of the High Noble’s space carriers, it would be worthless.
“Dali, with this Tower of Life…” Ji Zining finally recovered from the shock and exclaimed. “With this thing, the rate of success of the King Zergs merging with humans is practically 100%. The time it takes to merge will also be much shorter!”
Almost 100% success rate when merging and the time taken would be decreased. This was the best news they had in a long time.
A King Zerg would gain immense power when it merged with a human!
The same ability when used by an ordinary person and a Stellar-level warrior was already two totally different concepts. If it was used by a King Zerg, wouldn’t the level of power be greatly increased?
By that time, one King Zerg would be able to take on a few Fifth-Order Stellar-level space carriers without any problems!
Ji Zining dropped another bombshell. “Not only King Zergs, if Mutated Zergs merge with humans, the success rate will also be 100%. Most importantly, after becoming Sky Knights, the people will still be exactly like ordinary human beings. After transformation, they will be even more powerful!”
If humans merged with Mutated Zerg, the success rate was 100%. Also, after merging, they would still look like regular humans.
Did that not mean…
All humans could become Sky Knights?
This would be an evolution for humans! An opportunity like that did not come by often!
“This is good, this is good, haha.” Hong Dali laughed. If all humans could evolve into Sky Knights, wouldn’t the New Earth’s battle ability be through the roof? Think about it, when billions of Sky Knights were dispatched, the High Nobles would be just dregs!
Unexpectedly, Hong Dali did not last beyond five seconds when the Bureau Chief shook his head and said grimly, “Dali, don’t be too happy yet. We must not tell anyone about turning all the humans into Star Knights yet.”
“Eh? What do you mean?” Hong Dali asked curiously.
“Miss Zining,” the Bureau Chief looked at Ji Zining and asked seriously, “Sky Knights that are made this way, are they still under your control?”
“Ah? This…” Ji Zining thought carefully and shook her head. “I don’t think so. There are advantages and disadvantages. Sky Knights that are made this way will be completely free and not under my control.”
“That’s it.” The Bureau Chief said solemnly, “Think about it, ordinary people have a hard time controlling their emotions. If they become a Sky Knight, lose control, and start firing their demonic corrosive cannons everywhere, how many civilians will die?”
What he said made sense indeed.
On the original Earth, there were vicious evildoers who had murdered others. Some even rushed into kindergartens to kill innocent children. Who could guarantee that once everyone had gained power, they could control their emotions?
Hence, Ji Zining’s plan of making everyone Sky Knights was absolutely unfeasible. At least right now, it was a definite no!
What if the citizens panicked and started rioting when the army of the High Nobles closed in? Who would be able to control them?
“That’s true. Okay.” Hong Dali shrugged his shoulders. “Some things can’t be rushed. Looks like we have to take it slowly. En, en.”
Regardless, they had this really huge gem mountain now. Other things could wait. The important thing now was to improve the military power of New Earth. They would figure out what to do with the civilians later. Right now, creating a battle plan was top priority.
“Dali, do you have any suggestions?” The Bureau Chief asked, “Now that we have this Tower of Life, we should do something. At the very least, King Zergs have to be recalled to merge with your lackeys. Correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Hong Dali nodded. He rubbed his chin and said, “First, we need to call the King Zergs back. But we can’t call too many. I suggest that we call back twenty first and let my lackeys merge with them. Once they have merged, the battle following that will be much easier. The most difficult thing will be the time when they are merging with the King Zergs. After all, Sister Zining mentioned that it will take 72 hours. It will not be easy to survive this period of time.”
“En, indeed.” The Bureau Chief nodded. “Our trump card will be the King Zergs which have merged with your lackeys. We must hold out. Also, it’s obvious that even if we want to hold out for 72 hours, New Earth’s military power is not even qualified to be cannon fodder. The only thing that we can rely on is the Golden Emperor Beetle. Hence…”
The Bureau Chief did not vocalize the rest, but Hong Dali understood what he meant.
“Yes, I understand.” Hong Dali sniffed. “In the next 72 hours, I’ll hold them off. Sister Zining,” Hong Dali looked at Ji Zining, “while they are merging, we need you to protect New Earth with your Zergs. You must hang on no matter what.”
“I understand.” Ji Zining nodded. “Don’t worry. The one thing my children are most unafraid of is death.”
Hearing that, although Hong Dali did not belong to the same race as them, he still felt bad.
After all, when the Zergs were their enemy, it did not matter how many Zergs they killed. But now that the Zergs were their allies, dying for the sake of protecting New Earth…
“Enough talking.” Hong Dali gritted his teeth fiercely. “We’ll talk about the rest when the war is over! Uncle Chief, bring my friends over now. Sister Zining, call back twenty-five King Zergs. En, the King Zergs are too big. Just get them to stop around this mountain. I’ll take care of the rest. Everyone, go do what you have to do now.”
“Okay!” “Okay!”
