Chapter 246: Chapter 168: Piercing through the 7th Rank Legend, A Remarkable Blunder Misleading The Nation, Your Majesty_2
“With such a vast disparity in strength, how could there not be new loot drops?”
Jiang Chen was indeed harboring this thought as he began his rapid-clearing action.
And, according to the basic principle that the higher the lord’s strength, the higher the burst rate of special items,
his rapid-clearing targets were all top-tier lords with strength of 9.9 billion!
The facts proved that the Purgatory Asura’s strength of 7 billion had not taken the Extreme Battle Spirit’s unique state into account, nor had it calculated combat skills that couldn’t be quantified.
It merely computed its on-paper strength, which is the quadruple attack bonus.
The subsequent top-tier lords, although on paper were much stronger than the Purgatory Asura,
did not actually bring Jiang Chen as much of a sense of oppression as the Purgatory Asura was so frightening.
For instance, this Sky-Piercing Supreme Mecha, with a strength of 9.9 billion, was completely suppressed by Jiang Chen in actual combat.
It didn’t even get to feel Jiang Chen’s resilient physique before being blown apart.
The total time spent in combat was 30 minutes, 25 of which were spent running and dodging.
In such circumstances, Jiang Chen killed his way through from Ancient Eon’s creatures to the Infinite Purgatory, one by one.
Averaging 25 minutes per rapid-clearing session, the total time spent was three days, having rapid-cleared 180 battles!
He utterly ravaged the Purgatory level’s Legendary Shadow!
In the process, not only the civilizations from the Purgatory level,
but even the major civilizations from the surrounding [Abyss Levels] fell silent.
Their specific thoughts need no further elaboration.
In summary, it’s just one sentence.
[An unspeakable monster is ravaging the abyss.]
During this process,
Jiang Chen finally saw what he was looking forward to.
[Special Item: Light of Wonders]
“Three whole days of grinding and only this comes out...”
“I want to see what kind of thing you are.”
Jiang Chen touched the Abyss Rune.
A line of text appeared before his eyes.
[Light of Wonders]
[Quality: None]
[Type: Special Item]
[Effect One: Consume this item to generate a Wondrous Blueprint; a civilization can use the Wondrous Blueprint to construct an era-defining Civilization Wonder, providing substantial civilization benefits.]
[Effect Two: The type of Wondrous Blueprint generated is related to the civilization’s current hope and current traits. (Similar to trait generation rules, there are multiple options.)]
[Effect Three: The cost to produce a Wondrous Blueprint depends on the civilization’s current resource status. (The richer and more prosperous the civilization’s resources, the higher the blueprint cost and the more complex the requirements.)]
[Effect Four: The level of the Wondrous Blueprint generated is related to the civilization’s current authority level. (A civilization can only use blueprints that match its level. If the civilization’s authority level increases and the Wonder is incomplete, it is automatically destroyed.)]
[Effect Five: Regardless of the civilization’s authority level, the quality of the Wondrous Blueprint effects are the same, though their effect varies.]
[Effect Six: The number of Civilization Wonders that a civilization can construct cannot exceed its authority level. (For example, a level 2 civilization can construct at most two Wonders.)]
are bound to be worlds apart when compared with those ancient civilizations.
Of course, resource consumption is relative, and for Blue Star, the difficulty of constructing Wonders will definitely not be low.
But...
Blue Star is growing!
With Jiang Chen’s efforts, Blue Star is entering a stage of rapid development, undergoing changes day by day.
This is something those ancient civilizations could never achieve.
A resource that might be extremely precious one day could overflow the next.
The manpower that wasn’t enough on the first day might double by the second day.
Under such circumstances, the difficulty of building Wonders will drop drastically!
Even if a large amount of resources were consumed to build the first Wonder,
it would be possible to quickly recover and proceed to construct the second Wonder.
In terms of quantity and efficiency, this would completely crush the old civilizations.
Even more, Jiang Chen could play the upper limit of the civilization permissions,
letting Blue Star steadily construct a Wonder with each level-up!
“However, the requirement for a level 2 civilization to upgrade to a level 3 civilization is a hundred Civilization Potential points, and ten thousand abyss mecha pilots.”
“Blue Star is almost meeting the requirements.”
“Building Wonders now would actually delay the upgrade speed, waste time, and become a case of Wonders leading the country astray.”
“Let’s keep the [Light of Wonders] for now and transform it into a Wondrous Blueprint once Blue Star becomes a level 3 civilization.”
“Climbing to level 4 requires overcoming calamities of 13th Rank or above, which won’t be easy to accomplish.”
“It should be enough to build a Wonder by then.”
The rarest output of Legendary Shadows must be the Light of Wonders.
This thing has a usage cap, requires time to assimilate, and is also a bound item.
Jiang Chen farming for more would be pointless; any excess would just spill over.
For now, having one is enough.
As for the rest of the materials and items,
Jiang Chen has already amassed quite a lot.
Rather than continue farming here, it would be better to engage in trades at the Purgatory levels; other civilizations are surely stocked up.
“Having broken through the 7th Rank Legendary Shadow...”
“It’s time to become a 3rd Rank mecha pilot.”
Jiang Chen stowed away the Light of Wonders, preparing to leave the abyss.
In the final seconds of the countdown, another strange thought flashed through his mind.
The best location to build a civilization’s Wonder would naturally be Blue Star.
With its large population and status as the civilization’s home planet, it holds significant meaning.
And the number of Wonders built by Blue Star’s civilization will surely be both quick and numerous.
Stacking them all on the home planet seems like it could easily result in a certain scene—
[An ancient civilization visiting Blue Star, just arriving in the star system, hasn’t disembarked from their spacecraft, and the first thing that greets their eyes is a vista filled with Wonders.]
