At this moment, Martin returned to Yulong City with a full load. He sat steadily on the throne, staring at the numbers on the panel, and couldn't help but laugh.
Not long after he returned, Betan and Eric hurried over to ask for a meeting.
After receiving the report from the maid, Martin summoned them into the hall.
He said straight to the point, "Eric, Betan, your luck has come. This trip to the Sky City will yield a bountiful harvest, enough to help you two ascend to the rank of Higher God."
After saying that, he signaled the system to consume energy to help the two of them and their dragon mounts ascend together.
In the blink of an eye, the promotion was successful. The two dragons were so excited that they wanted to raise their heads and roar to express their excitement, but they were slapped back by Eric and Betan.
"Where is this place? This is His Majesty's throne room! Do you want to shake the palace down?" The two men lectured the two dragons with serious faces.
Seeing this, Martin smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, they are too excited, don't blame them."
Then, he looked at Eric and Shuang Ning and ordered, "Continue to the Xingyao Holy Land and kill all the demons in that area. Don't leave any behind to avoid endless troubles."
Just as he finished speaking, Martin noticed the system's reminder, so he immediately opened the panel to check.
[Host: Martin]
【System level: Level 4】
[Current Level: Domain]
[Sworn Guards: 298,653]
[Contracted Dragon: 35, Dragonman: 36]
Energy Reserve: 151,055,699,500
Tip: The host's subordinates have been promoted to upper gods. To be promoted again, the system needs to reach level five. Promotion to the planetary level does not require energy, but requires a primary plane core.
Martin looked at the "hint" with a puzzled mind: What exactly is a plane core? This was an unheard-of term for him.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his communication crystal and dialed the number of the Sky City Great Elder, whose number he had just saved. Soon, the call was connected.
Martin asked directly: "Great Elder, do you know the core of the plane?"
The Great Elder hadn't expected Martin to ask this out of the blue. After a moment's thought, he said, "The plane core is where the essence of a plane converges. It determines many of the plane's limits, such as the amount of energy, the strength ceiling of the plane's natives, and the degree of perfection of its rules."
"Furthermore, different planes will evolve different native inhabitants based on the characteristics of the plane's core. Take our Light Pillar Plane, for example. Its characteristic is seclusion, and we have never plundered others, so we don't have any other characteristics."
The Great Elder paused, then continued, "The Hell Plane was originally a high-level plane, but the Wizard Plane took away half of its core, and it was downgraded to a mid-level plane."
"The characteristic of the Hell Plane is reproduction. The plane will directly release demon cubs into a certain area. Those cubs will kill each other for food. The ones that win will advance to become little demons and then leave that area."
"This is why the demonic plane always likes to invade other planes. They have an overpopulation but a shortage of resources."
After hearing this, Martin finally understood what the plane core was. He then asked, "Great Elder, do we have the coordinates of other planes?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Great Elder's expression instantly grew serious, and he said, "Martin White, if we rashly attack other planes, we will likely be exposed. Therefore, Sky City will never allow you to act recklessly like this."
It was the first time Martin heard the Great Elder speak so seriously. He was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand what you mean. I won't do anything rash. Don't worry. I won't act rashly unless I'm absolutely sure."
The Great Elder listened to Martin's words and felt that he did not seem to have completely given up the idea and was still stubborn.
The Great Elder immediately set out for the Dragon Spine Empire's throne room. As soon as he appeared, Betan, a higher god, appeared on a giant dragon and blocked his way.
The Great Elder glanced at the Dragon Knight Betan who had been promoted to a higher god, then looked at Martin expressionlessly for a few times, then turned around and returned to the Sky City.
As soon as he returned to Sky City, the Great Elder's face suddenly broke into a smile. He then hurried to the President's room, without even knocking, and walked in directly through the door.
After meeting the Guild Master, he was so excited that he was incoherent: "Guild Master, do you know what I saw? As soon as Martin returned to the Dragon Spine Empire, one of his dragon knights was promoted directly from the median to the upper god. It's incredible. What a powerful force this must be!"
The guild leader was about to reprimand the elder for his rash intrusion, but upon hearing the news he brought, he suddenly stood up from his seat and asked anxiously, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely true!" the Great Elder responded quickly. "I just went to the Dragon Spine Empire and saw it with my own eyes. I never expected that Martin White could help his subordinates advance as long as he had enough energy. This ability is simply beyond imagination."
The president slowly sat down and asked again, "You went to see him, what did he ask for?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Elder hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"What? You mean he wants the plane core? We do have a few plane coordinates, but..."
When the president said this, he was full of concerns.
After all, other high-level planes have been eyeing them covetously. Once the plane war breaks out, they are afraid that those forces will follow the clues and find the light column plane.
But thinking of the wizards' threats, the president gritted his teeth and said to the Great Elder, "It doesn't make much difference to me whether it's exposed early or late. Great Elder, go tell Martin that I agree and tell him to be prepared."
After hearing this, the Great Elder looked worried: "President, would you like to reconsider this?"
The president shook his head and said, "There are some things you don't know. After His Majesty Hill and the others returned, they briefly revealed some of the situation to me. I'm afraid that group of wizards will come to us soon, so..."
After hearing this, the Great Elder looked at the Guild President in disbelief and muttered, "How is this possible? We just want to live a few days of peace and quiet, why is it so difficult?"
The president then signaled the great elder that he could leave, and solemnly instructed him to make sure to explain everything clearly to Martin White, and to let Martin come to him after he was fully prepared.
The Great Elder nodded seriously, turned around and walked out.
The president looked at the Great Elder's departing back and couldn't help but sigh. Then he turned his attention back to the matters at hand and continued to work.
After the Great Elder came out of the President's room, he calmed down a little and calmed his complicated mood.
Then, he walked outside the hall. Looking up, he saw the huge pillar of light that pierced the sky and earth. His eyes were full of kindness, as if he was gazing at an inestimable treasure.
For others, guarding the Light Pillar Plane might just be a duty, but in the heart of the Great Elder, it has long been elevated to a sacred mission, integrated into his soul, and become his lifelong unwavering belief.
