Chapter 666 Chemical Priesthood and High-Dimensional Galaxies
After a fruitless search, Morags could only suppress the burning rage in his heart for the time being.
One after another, streaks of light and shadow from the void swept by from afar, the gods rushing to provide support upon receiving the message, but it was apparent that they were all a step too late.
Upon learning that the Temple of All Gods had been blown up, resulting in the fall of two deities, the gods present were utterly shocked. Some of the weaker gods even secretly rejoiced that it wasn't their turn to defend the Temple of All Gods, or else it could have been them who perished.
"Your Highness Morags, are we really going to stand by and let those Wizards run rampant in the main world?" the Sun God Alte asked unwillingly.
Although each encounter revealed that the Wizards' displayed powers continually broke their expectations, in the Sun God's view, the might of the main world was still sufficient to crush all resistance!
These pesky natives from the other world were like worms in the soil, constantly emerging to harry them. The moment they prepared to wipe them out, the foes would slip into narrow crevices, leaving the Sun God finding no other adjective but disgusting to describe them!
There were not a few gods who shared the Sun God Alte's thoughts; they were all eager to invade the other world and eradicate those annoying natives.
"They won't be able to hide for long, Alte! I have found the weakness of this spell; the very thing they rely on for sustenance will soon be rendered completely useless!" Morags asserted confidently.
This was not an empty comforting statement; Morags was absolutely sure. In the previous encounter, separated by dimensional barriers, his perception was greatly limited. But this time was different; the other party foolishly used this powerful Divine Art again in the main world, and after destroying it, Morags had figured out its tricks.
...
In the vast cosmos, within the Eternal Star, the news of the soul fragment's death was almost instantaneously transmitted to Lynn's mind, bringing with it a strange sense of weakness, as if part of him had been excised.
This connection was also the only way to span the two universes. Lynn suspected that it might involve dimensions higher than the fourth. However, due to the barriers of time and space, he could not see what his avatar was doing or exchange information directly; only at the moment of death was he able to sense something.
Things are not going smoothly... Lynn sighed silently to himself. He had gone to great lengths, bringing over eight asteroids to craft into miniature neutron stars, all to facilitate the smooth infiltration of this avatar into the main world. Unfortunately, it had still been detected.
Fortunately, he had backup plans. Lynn could only hope that the atomic-level probes would successfully evade the main god's surveillance.
While he patiently awaited the right moment, Vittorio completed the ascension ceremony following Aurora, becoming the God of Chemistry!
This caused earlier breakthroughs by Aurora and Harrov to be even more envious, given that Vittorio could be said to have monopolized an entire discipline!
Lynn wasn't too surprised; though chemistry is a vast discipline, it essentially involves the study of the composition, structure, properties, transformations, and applications of matter at the atomic and molecular levels—it could even be described as a branch of physics.
Therefore, to truly achieve something remarkable in chemistry, one must learn physics...
Additionally, there were plenty of good tidings from the Geometric Civilization. For instance, the researcher Yita once again improved the 'Energy Ascension' technology, raising the success rate to around ninety percent. This time, more than fifty leaders of the discs who were close to the end of their lives couldn't wait to undergo the transformation, with overwhelmingly positive outcomes—except for a few unlucky ones, all were successful.
This also meant that another fifty star domains were now indirectly under his control. Although in order to avoid detection, Lynn couldn't directly command their forces to attack the main world, he could still gain many conveniences.
Take element number seven, for example!
Such a super-strategic resource was ostensibly owned by the entire civilization, with allocations decided through disc council discussions. But as long as there was life, complex thoughts, and autonomy, even different regions within the same nation would have disputes; unity only seemed so solid because the vast cosmos was so dangerous.
Therefore, leaders of the various star domains had their secret stockpiles for clandestine research. The reserves from over fifty star systems totaled about three thousand tons, which was even more than he had obtained from the last transaction.
Lynn instructed the controlled leaders to gather these reserves of element number seven under the guise of weapons research, and then secretly send them over using wormhole technology.
With this batch of supplies, Lynn then expanded the fifty-year planet expansion plan to encompass the entire star system!
That is to say, high-dimensionalize the whole star system!
The difficulty was undoubtedly immense because the scope of a star system was just too large. Even if only the five major planets were included, the diameter would exceed five hundred million kilometers!
By comparison, the volume of the Eternal Star was a mere forty thousand kilometers!
The amount of resources at their disposal was somewhat scarce.
However, this time, Lynn would not be the only one unfolding into low dimensions. Along with Harrov, Aurora, and Vittorio, there were four deities working together.
As for the God of Life and Creation, Ogg, Lynn's level of trust in him was far from sufficient, and he naturally would not let him participate.
"We don't necessarily need to shape the shield into a circle; a flat, irregular ellipsoid might be more suitable. After all, the orbits of these planets are very stable, and their inclination angles are very modest, all below five percent. By doing this, the area we need to cover can be significantly reduced," Vittorio suggested after listening to Lynn's description.
Harrov also proposed whether they should change the orbits of some distant planets or kick the farthest one out of the solar system to reduce the scope of the star system.
"Let's just try it first. If it really doesn't work, then we'll consider removing a planet..." Lynn said thoughtfully. A single planet represented a godly domain, and the materials inside could be used as an energy reserve at critical moments.
This was why Lynn wanted to take the whole star system into high-dimensional space. Doing so would allow them to accomplish much more over the fifty years.
Harrov and the others had no objections. Having made their decision, they spread out from the Sun to four predetermined points, each with a thousand tons of element number seven. They activated it nearly simultaneously, and four communication electromagnetic waves swiftly propagated into the distance.
"Low-dimensional... unfold!"
