Chapter 935: Chapter 923: Have You Seen Enough? Chapter 935: Chapter 923: Have You Seen Enough? Three years
Standing at the highest point of Yunjian Peak, Muria looked down at the bustling, orderly cluster of buildings below with a hint of contemplation in his eyes, “Why haven’t they come yet?”

Three years ago, ever since he conquered Mesha with his undisputed strength and became the king of the great Ayalei Forest, he started to change the Yikong Tribe of Ayalei Forest using his influence.

First, Muria invited the elites of various tribes to live in Yunjian Peak, and this move was seen by the tribes as his attempt to establish his own tribe.

In reality, Muria wanted to use this as a starting point to integrate all the tribes of the great Ayalei Forest, destroy the tribal system that had persisted on this land for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and establish a centralized power system centered around himself.

With his influence, and the great appeal of Phantom to Baghda, elites from various tribes began to move to Yunjian Peak.

Because whether they were willing to leave their tribes and settle in Yunjian Peak or not, as long as they wanted to become Phantom Knights, they had to reside in Yunjian Peak, and since Phantom was unwilling to leave Mesha, they had no choice.

Of course, with the number of Phantoms below two hundred, it would be a fool’s dream to try to attract a sufficient number of Yikong people using them solely.

Most of the Yikong people are very self-aware and have a very clear positioning of their own strength, knowing that they are not qualified to ride such fierce creatures of the sky.

So Muria revealed his true trump card—he had nothing better to do whilst in his mother’s womb and created Breathing Methods based on his own body. It was these methods that fundamentally enhanced physical constitution and laid the foundation for the prosperity of Yunjian Peak now.

Whether for themselves or for their children, in short, the Yikong people living in the great Ayalei Forest began to gather continuously towards Yunjian Peak.

While Muria used Phantoms and Breathing Methods to attract Yikong people to settle, he also began to demand that these Yikong people settle on the ground, and those with the skill to build tree houses in trees faced no difficulties building them on the ground.

It was just that the Yikong people were a bit unaccustomed at first, but under Muria’s persistence and planning, rows of neat wooden houses were still built on Yunjian Peak.

In the heart of Yunjian Peak, which was crucial to the growth of Yikong people, the number of energy veins called Radiant Stones, named by Muria, was staggeringly high. In fact, about seventy percent of Yunjian Peak was composed of Radiant Stones.

And this was also why Mesha chose Yunjian Peak as its lair; this overlord of the sky fed on Radiant Stones.

What Muria needed to do was to transplant trees that could absorb and release a weakened form of the Glorious Power to Yunjian Peak, making it suitable for Yikong people to live on.

While doing all this, Muria also established the first school for Yikong people, with only Muria himself as the teacher, and he taught only two things.

The first was the Breathing Methods he had developed upon his initial arrival, and the second was the hieroglyphic characters he had created based on Yikong people’s language and memory. The importance of written language to the development of civilization is irreplaceable, as a civilization with its own script has the potential to develop and strengthen.

After Muria started teaching Breathing Methods, his prestige in the great Ayalei Forest was further enhanced because he did not keep these methods secret; any Yikong person who desired to learn could acquire them.

But what these Yikong people didn’t know was that this Breathing Method was the most rudimentary and basic initial version, and there were further advancements available in the form of Second Tier fortified versions and Third Tier perfected versions. To obtain these advanced Breathing Methods, naturally, higher hurdles had to be met, as the king was never one to engage in philanthropy.

As Muria’s prestige rose due to teaching Breathing Methods, he also faced some criticism, due to his insistence that his followers learn the hieroglyphic characters he had created.

Of course, those Yikong people with ideas only dared to talk privately; with the strength and prestige displayed by Muria, not a single Yikong person dared to come forward with suggestions.

In three years’ time, Muria did not just do these things; he discovered a type of Big Spider with a large population, fast reproduction rate, and high silk production. Then, using the silk produced by these spiders as a raw material, he instructed the female Yikong people in weaving robes.

Yes, he used spider silk to weave robes directly, not silk, because the spider silk was too tough to be cut easily, so the robes had to be formed in one go. And when the first batch of spider silk robes was made, Muria directly made it as the standard equipment for his Phantom Knight Regiment.

Not only did Muria make transformative innovations in the clothing of the Yikong people, but he also made innovations in their diet and manufacturing. He taught them how to refine steel and tried to lead them directly into the Iron Age, but due to the limited time, no significant progress had been made yet.

Moreover, because the Yikong people had no industrial foundation whatsoever, they could only cut wood to refine steel. This led to tremendous pollution, causing the tribal elders to join forces multiple times to appeal to Muria to halt steel refining.

But Muria withstood the criticisms from various tribes and persisted in steel refining. He had no other choice, as the civilization of this world was simply too primitive; with such vast energy ore resources, yet unable to utilize them.

If it were possible to refine steel using Radiant Stones without causing pollution, of course he would do so, but the Yi Kong People simply didn’t have such technology. Even if he was a walking Library, he couldn’t possibly create efficient energy devices in a world with no industrial foundation.

“This is so hard for me!” Muria looked up to the sky, recalling the past three years he had desperately farmed with the Yi Kong People, planting the seeds of civilization and technology for them and, unable to help it, he sighed.

In a certain sense, to the Yi Kong People, his main body was like a god, but the current him was a god who had sealed all his power, retaining only his memories.

Even so, Muria was fully confident in leading the entire Yi Kong Human civilization into the space age, but the prerequisite was that he had enough time. However, there simply wasn’t enough time now, as there were civilizations capable of leaving their own worlds that had discovered the world where the Yi Kong People lived.

Thus, Muria felt a very urgent pressure. He did his utmost to advance the civilization of the Yi Kong People, attempting to give them as much capital as possible to face a star civilization.

If Muria could display all his strength and unleash the Legion of his Semi Plane, as long as he didn’t encounter an Evil God, he would certainly have no fear of any civilization’s legion.

Unfortunately, let alone releasing the Semi Plane Legion, it was incredibly difficult to even show his own strength. As soon as Muria dared to reveal the aura of his true form, this world would crazily reject him, doing everything possible to expel him. At that moment, his promotion to Epics would be considered a failure.

Failing the promotion didn’t matter much; he could always try again. But if the other Legends succeeded using the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique, and only he failed, going back in such a disgraced manner would be far too embarrassing!

“When, exactly, are you going to come?” Muria gazed at the sky. A world like this, rich in energy resources but with a nascent local civilization, would be impossible for any star civilization that discovered it to ignore.

Unless that star civilization’s technology tree had climbed to the level of creating Perpetual Motion Machines, with no more need for energy, but how could that be possible? Not to mention whether Perpetual Motion Machines, which defy Laws, could even be built.

The level of technology of the civilization that had sent out the Detector, which he had easily destroyed, wasn’t that advanced either. Therefore, the civilization would inevitably take action. But the problem was, Muria had not discovered any trace of the star civilization for a second time; it was as if the Detector had been but a fleeting glimpse.

But soon, Muria understood why, over the past three years, he had not seen anything crafted by star civilization again.

…

“King Uhl, there is a team of Yi Kong People from beyond the Ayaray Forest who wish to see you!”

“Hmm? Yi Kong People from beyond Ayaray?” Muria, who had been cultivating atop Mesha, opened his eyes, and two radiantly dazzling pure white beams shot out from them, before reverting to the normal black pupils of a Yi Kong person, while at the same time, the God’s Pattern on his body gradually dimmed and disappeared.

“Bring them to me!”

“As you command!”

Soon, under the escort of six Phantom Knights, a group of nearly fifty people entered Muria’s palace—an unremarkable rocky building with size as its only feature.

“We pay homage to King Uhl!” Under the watchful eyes of the powerful Phantom Knights surrounding them, the group, having traveled thousands of miles, respectfully bowed to Muria, who was lounging lazily atop the slumbering Mesha, looking very casual.

“What do you seek from the Ayaray Forest?” Muria scrutinized the oddly dressed group, narrowing his eyes. On them were many items clearly not of this world.

“Great King Uhl, we have come to invite your tribe to send a team to the Land of Divine Grace to trade with the exotic people from beyond the skies,” said the leader from Baghda with a respectful tone. He was wearing a silver Full Body Armor with a futuristic feel, causing the Phantom Knights in the hall to repeatedly salute him.

“The Land of Divine Grace? Exotic people from beyond the skies! Aha, I see!” Muria began to laugh; what he had anticipated was not wrong—indeed, the civilization that had been observing the Yi Kong Human World had taken action, but they had not chosen Ayaray as the place of arrival.

“You,” Muria, with a smile on his lips, reached out his hand and grabbed, and a metallic sphere that had been hovering beside a Yi Kong person floated towards him. He peered at the sphere that brought him a sense of being spied upon, “Have you seen enough?”
