CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 478: MASSIVE DIVINITY!

"The losses are negligible, the gains... extremely rich!"

John’s voice was a bit excited.

One must know that John is the highest manager of the city hall, what great storms hasn’t he seen over the years?

If even John is happy, it seems the gains are quite impressive.

The followers were also sitting in the combat command room, watching John, waiting for his announcement.

"Go ahead." Lin Ke nodded to indicate.

"Alright, young master." John picked up the Azanen Paper before him and read the content aloud, his voice revealing a hint of excitement: "Our fleet just set off one day, or rather six hours, and encountered the first battle. The reason, according to interrogations, is that the Deep Blue Duke’s detachment of the Great Wilderness from Naseng affected the ocean..."

"It seems those ocean magical beasts were provoked by some kind of rule and, in anger, surged into Azanen, unaware that the main culprit was the Deep Blue Duke..."

"...In this battle, we lost twenty aircraft subcarriers, eight knights, and sixty-eight soldiers due to death..."

Speaking of casualties, although everyone is high-ranking, the atmosphere inevitably cooled a bit.

"Compensation and subsidies are issued according to regulations, soul income to the Great Wilderness Heroic Spirit Hall." Lin Ke spoke: "They are heroes."

John nodded gently and continued: "The damaged subcarriers have been salvaged, expected recovery cost is two hundred and eighty thousand coins, loss is one million one hundred and fifty thousand coins, and there’s also magic crystal consumption..."

Now, Azanen Coin has been abbreviated as "coin," much like the previous abbreviation to "yuan."

After rattling off a series of expenditures and losses, John’s voice finally carried a hint of excitement.

"Next is our battle achievements!"

"In this engagement, we completely slaughtered one hundred and twenty-three legendary magical beasts, ninety-five star-glory level, over six hundred beasts of level fifteen and above, countless below level fifteen."

"Among them, we harvested four hundred and eighty-eight strands of divine essence and thirteen divine essences, along with innumerable flesh and scales!"

Nearly five hundred strands of divine essence and thirteen divine essences!

The crowd’s spirits lifted.

So much!

Even with Great Wilderness City’s level of wealth accumulation, never over the years had there been such abundant income.

Moreover, these were the divine essences of Naseng’s native strong, not from a sub-tier dimension!

Not to mention there were thirteen divine essences...

Isn’t this tantamount to thirteen deities?

Still, these are Naseng versions of deities!

One must know, deities from Naseng are very rare.

Deities from sub-tier dimensions are numerous, but those created by divine essences can ultimately only reach sub-tier dimensional strength.

But these thirteen divine essences are gods from Naseng’s native dimension.

Although they are divine essences of ocean magical beasts, they also represent thirteen potential birth of deities!

For instance, if given to some aquatic magical beast pets from Great Wilderness City, wouldn’t that produce a few beast gods?

"These thirteen divine essences, keep them safe..." Lin Ke squinted his eyes, rubbing the Magma Staff with his right hand, turning to look into the distance: "Once we’ve dealt with the Forest Hut, they might come in handy..."

That is the direction of the Ocean of Stars and Waves.

These ocean magical beast kings appearing here all at the same time, Lin Ke didn’t believe there was no plotting involved.

It seems the departure of the Deep Blue Duke and the silence of sleeplessness had prompted some old opponents to act...

"Yes, young master." John nodded, then sent a message to related personnel to retrieve the divine essences.

"Throw all surplus beast meat into the core furnace, use it as fuel." Lin Ke instructed: "Next, accelerate our advance!"

Thus, the Great Wilderness Fleet began to hasten its voyage.

As for the soldiers in the fleet, they began meditation and law comprehension.

Lin Ke also took out the Divine Artifact wreck and started law comprehension.

...

Five days passed.

The journey was much faster than Lin Ke anticipated.

This trip also encountered quite a bit of trouble, in Gula’s domain, although no one dared to block, curiosity was inevitable.

With the famous Duke of Lava traveling, although greetings had been sent to the lords beforehand, who could resist being curious about the fleet of aircraft carriers?

Below level fifteen was fine.

But level fifteen and above had to come up for a look whenever passing through someone’s territory.

Many lords even wanted to invite Lin Ke to banquet, to come to town or the castle for fun, but Lin Ke declined them all.

But besides lords, in the wilderness, there were still many professionals.

When those professionals saw the bright red banner and noble coat of arms of the Great Wilderness, each wanted to come up and have a look, to see.

For those without malicious intent, Lin Ke naturally couldn’t just crush them directly, only driving them away.

Still, it wasted some time.

At this leisurely pace of navigation, being able to sail from Azanen at the southernmost tip to Hurricane Domain at the northernmost within five days, this speed was already quite fast.

At least, it was faster than Lin Ke’s original estimate of ten days.

The main reason was the flesh of those ocean magical beasts provided massive energy for the aircraft carriers, thus boosting the sailing speed.

Coupled with the influence of air currents, within five days, Lin Ke once again saw Storm Domain.

And...

"Phew..." Lin Ke slowly exhaled, suppressing the restless force of professionals’ power inside him.

Level fourteen...

Level fourteen Leader!

Due to the previous battle with the ocean magical beasts, his Leader received much feedback, then he comprehended the Dominion rule, the Command rule, and broke through.

Lin Ke toyed with the Divine Artifact in his hand, pondering the skills of Leader.

Since the beast war when he was six, he hadn’t used Leader skills.

Even Inventor and other professional skills had gone unused.

Most of what he used were the Scholar and now Scientist’s professional skills.

Although growing rapidly, it didn’t hinder his promotion.

But reaching the levels others bog down in for decades or centuries within twenty years had its disadvantages.

His skill use, the familiarity and proficiency of his profession were not up to par.

"Forget it, upgrade first..." Lin Ke shook his head.

First be cautious about reaching level fifteen, at least have a bit of self-preservation power, then consider those things.

After reaching level fifteen, possessing a law body, then arrange professions and skills one by one.

By the way, no wonder many in the past life didn’t like being emperor but preferred cultivating immortality!

When you take on something called responsibility, you no longer live just for yourself.

If Lin Ke were like Ove once was, isolating himself in his own dimension for hundreds of years, maybe even just a hundred years, he’d probably emerge as a legend.

But being as Lin Ke is now also has its benefits.

Let’s not mention the feedback, let’s say external possessions.

No matter what resource he needs, with a command, if available, it comes directly from Great Wilderness City, if not, he can buy or seize it, how great is that.

Just as Lin Ke was thinking, they had already arrived above the Elemental Forest.

But what Lin Ke didn’t expect was there were magical beasts blocking their way.

Though somewhat reasonable, it was still unexpected.
