568: Yu Tian sent a team application

On the other side, Yang Dian, who was still sorting out the underground fire veins, received a message from Zero and raised an eyebrow.

“Liu Tao is not stupid, and he’s quite sensible.”

Hearing Yang Dian’s evaluation, Zero couldn’t help but ask curiously:

“Commander, do you really intend to use Liu Tao and others to manage the Weapon Forging Grotto-Heaven?”

“According to my investigation, Liu Tao and others are not good people.”

“During their time as overseers, they embezzled funds, committed crimes, and even used their authority to modify Formation nodes, causing Artifact Refiners to die accidentally during Artifact Refining, and then took over their wives and daughters. They did not do this rarely.”

“According to Huaxia law, they would all face the firing squad.”

Hearing the words “firing squad,” Yang Dian nodded in agreement.

But after nodding, he changed his tone and said:

“Having committed acts deserving of the firing squad is one thing, but right now, we truly cannot do without them.”

“It’s not the time to settle scores. We’ll deal with future matters when the time comes.”

“First, let them refine the Magical Artifacts we need for the Formation.”

Yang Dian’s idea was very simple.

Everything was centered around Huaxia’s interests.

Liu Tao and others committing crimes?

Those were minor, peripheral matters.

Whether the Artifact Refiners could refine the Magical Artifacts he required within the stipulated time was the important thing… After a few more days of work in the underground fire veins.

Seeing that the fire veins were gradually being cleared and their operation became smooth, Yang Dian immediately washed his hands of the matter.

“Zero, have the situations of the other Blessed Lands been mostly sorted out?”

“If they have, quickly find some people from the Formation Grotto-Heaven to repair the Formations!”

As Yang Dian finished speaking, Zero’s voice rang out:

“It has been sorted out. Now screening candidates to repair the Formations.”

“Screening complete.”

Glancing at the more than 300 avatars projected in front of him, along with the character introductions below the avatars, Yang Dian waved his hand rather casually:

“Have the envoys from the Weapon Forging Grotto-Heaven go to the Formation Grotto-Heaven to recruit people.”

Thinking of those Blessed Lands that were nominally under his jurisdiction but over which he actually had no control, Yang Dian added:

“Also, have Liu Tao figure out a way to win over the managers of the other Blessed Lands.”

“I don’t care about the process, I only want the result.”

“Understood, Commander. Your orders have been relayed to Li You, the envoy of the Weapon Forging Grotto-Heaven, and Liu Tao, the overseer of the Weapon Forging Grotto-Heaven.”

After Yang Dian nodded, he surveyed the surrounding fire veins, which now seemed incredibly gentle, and couldn’t help but clench his fists.

“Creation is indeed more difficult than destruction.”

For Yang Dian to destroy the Weapon Forging Grotto-Heaven?

The Weapon Forging Grotto-Heaven was not large; destroying it was truly a matter of minutes for the current Yang Dian.

But now?

Just repairing the turbulent fire veins had taken him several days.

And it was only a temporary fix; the fire veins could erupt again at any moment.

“Such a hassle.”

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian suddenly thought of the red carp he had brought back from under the Lizardmen Sacred Mountain and was raising inside the Fire Flame Turtle.

“Those red carp seem to have the ability to guide fire veins.”

“Should I go catch a few and raise them in this wretched place?”

He acted on the thought.

With that idea, Yang Dian directly walked out of the Grotto-Heaven portal and arrived at the transit platform in the Star Core Space outside the door.

Then… “Why are you so persistent?”

Hearing Yang Dian’s complaint, Yu Tian silently looked at the two characters “Artifact Refining” on the archway behind Yang Dian, and said somewhat quietly:

“This, it seems to be my territory?”

“Your territory?”

Yang Dian stepped aside:

“Come on.”

“Since it’s your territory, then go inside and show me.”

Yu Tian fell silent again.

Didn’t he want to go in?

He had wanted to go in for a long time!

It was just that the spatial portal was affected by a more Advanced spatial power.

After leaving the Blessed Land, he could no longer enter it.

Seeing Yu Tian’s silence, Yang Dian looked at him with a chuckle and said:

“Now you know whose territory this is, right?”

Then he changed his tone and said:

“Also, how did you find this place? Logically, you shouldn’t have been able to discover it.”

“Were you previously hiding in another Blessed Land?”

Seeing Yu Tian nod in affirmation, Yang Dian continued to ask:

“Hiding in another Blessed Land but not causing trouble in the dark, instead stepping out to face me, you must have something to discuss with me, right?”

“Tell me, what do you want from me?”

Yu Tian said straightforwardly:

“Let’s join forces to seize the Origin of the Taicang Realm and the Chongming Realm.”

Yang Dian smiled, about to say that Yu Tian was daydreaming.

However, before he could speak, Yu Tian took out more than a dozen crystals:

“You should have a True Spirit Crystal, right?”

“As long as I crush these True Spirit Crystals, all the Cultivators of various crafts in the Alchemy, Spirit Field, and other Blessed Lands will die.”

“You wouldn’t want all the logistics Cultivators you’ve acquired to die, leaving you with no Cultivators to work for you, would you?”

Yang Dian was speechless.

Good heavens.

This Yu Tian was threatening him with his former subordinates?

How could such a person exist!

Truly shameless enough!

With a slight sense of speechlessness, Yang Dian curled his lips into a sneer:

“Do you think these guys are worth more than World Origin?”

Yu Tian also smiled.

He casually threw the crystal balls to Yang Dian and said with a laugh:

“You are indeed the same kind of person as me.”

“Believe me, for people like us, only cooperation can yield the greatest benefits…”
