397: Santorini

"Lin Ye, the birth of the Mother Nest will take approximately ten years. After its birth, there will be a continuous output of Mechanical Gods. Can you hold on?" Edwin asked.

Ten years is not a long time, not even as long as a Dominator's single closed-door cultivation, but it is very difficult right now.

The demon army has already landed.

Subsequently, there will be an endless invasion.

"Don't worry, I will definitely secure these ten years." Lin Ye's eyes were firm.

"Good."

Edwin led his team and the people of the Galaxy to a relatively remote area in the Galaxy to secretly begin manufacturing the Mechanical War God Mother Nest.

All resources will be poured into them.

"Lin Ye, these ten years won't be easy," Feng said as he walked over.

"If we confront them head-on, we are indeed no match for them; the warriors of the Galaxy would be cursed into oblivion. But if it's just about delaying, I still have some confidence."

In Lin Ye's eyes, these demon soldiers were all disgusting things with self-inflicted death curses.

To deal with them, not killing them but using control to delay their advance is currently the best method.

"Oh? What do you plan to do?"

"Strengthen defenses and clear the field, cut off their transportation. As long as we delay for ten years, everything will turn around."

"Strengthen defenses and clear the field" actually means it has already been cleared, as the value of the Galaxy's planets is negligible to these demons.

Non-tech civilizations find it difficult to develop the value of these planets.

The only thing that needs to be cleared is the residents of the Galaxy.

These people are wealth to the demons; they can help them develop planets, act as guides, solve logistics, etc. Even those who can do nothing can serve as blood food to increase their strength.

So, the main thing is to relocate the population to avoid them falling into the enemy's hands.

Fortunately, the residents of the Galaxy Territory had already been relocated in advance; otherwise, if the demons had gotten them, their offensive potential would have greatly increased.

And the latter is the essence of delay.

If their transportation tools are cut off, then it will be difficult for the demons to transport troops between planets, let alone continue their invasion.

"Hmm, I think that works. If necessary, exchanging one warship for one transport ship is still a profit," Feng said.

Warships are the primary mode of large-scale combat and transportation in the Star Realm.

Teleportation arrays are good, but they are mainly used in occupied areas and are quite expensive.

Warships are more suitable for invasion, have a much greater advantage than teleportation arrays for large-scale transport, and can carry a large amount of weaponry.

It can be said they are a weakened version of Starships.

The Starship's warp drive technology is something warships cannot compare to.

Some warships can also traverse the void and travel quickly.

But such warships are themselves Divine Artifacts, and not ordinary Divine Artifacts, which a Curse Demon cannot possess.

Perhaps it should appear on a higher-level battlefield, such as the battlefields of the Four Great God Races and the Three Great Nobles.

"The Curse Demon Clan has probably started manufacturing warships. We must delay their progress. With the speed of Starships, guerrilla warfare and harassment are good methods," Lin Ye said.

"Hmm, then we'll scout out the enemy's warship production sites. Once found, we'll attack immediately."

"Where exactly is this Light King?"

Lin Ye's clone frowned tightly.

According to a screening divination, the Light King was in an area of the Blue Blood Alliance.

Lin Ye paid a huge price to reach this star domain called Santorini.

It must be said that every star cluster in the universe has its own characteristics.

Among them, the most prominent are the Endless Sea Star Cluster and the Peak of Stars Star Cluster of the Blue Blood Alliance.

In the former, most planets within the star cluster are composed of gas or liquid, primarily inhabited by aquatic Life.

In the latter, the vitality within the star cluster is exceptionally vigorous; various races, compared to other star clusters, not only have a higher degree of evolution but also exhibit greater diversity.

Taking Santorini, where Lin Ye is currently located, as an example, various strange creatures are dazzling.

This place is extraordinarily powerful. They did not adopt the Star Gate Fusion technology but instead let each region suppress the demons on its own. The results show that almost no planet failed to suppress them, which fully demonstrates their terrifying strength.

Moreover, it is very prosperous here, not technologically prosperous, but a prosperity generated by the interweaving of various civilizations.

Each planet has its own unique civilization, respecting and communicating with each other.

Lin Ye found it difficult to imagine how such complex civilization situations could coexist peacefully.

"This place really is like where a homebody like the Light King would like to stay." Lin Ye was now very certain that the general area was correct.

But finding the Light King in this star domain isn't easy, is it?

Missing person report? Media publicity?

Lin Ye could only think of these for now.

"Don't tell me that before I even find her, the Mechanical Gods will have already sent the Curse Demon Clan scurrying away with their tails between their legs," Lin Ye shook his head, amused.

However, one cannot put all eggs in one basket.

"I should still check the virtual world. Information transmission is difficult in reality, but it's much easier in the virtual world. Perhaps I should look for relevant agencies to screen for related news."

Lin Ye's heart stirred, and he had an answer for what to do next.

Logging into the virtual world from a different location used to incur a fee, but now, during this special period, the Mechanical Clan has directly waived these fees.

After Lin Ye entered the virtual world, he began to search for relevant personnel information.

And on a website called 'Listening to the Wind and Embracing the Moon,' he posted a bounty for information.

Among such help-seeking websites, it was the largest one.

Lin Ye did not directly name the Light King in his search, as with the Light King's personality, she would probably have changed her name and appearance long ago.

She might have even modified her appearance.

So, he offered a bounty for people with specific characteristics.

Suspected Dominator or above, with extremely pure light—Divine attribute, and a personality inclined towards being a recluse.

Bounty amount—one void stone for those who meet the conditions (depending on the completeness of the information), ten void stones for finding the person herself.

As soon as this bounty was released, a group of people who made a living by selling information on the website exploded.

Selling a piece of information could earn a void stone!

It was too profitable; the reward was too generous.

One must know that even a typical Dominator's family fortune wouldn't have many void stones.

After all, there are many places where void stones are needed.

"Divine attribute? Is he looking for an angel? No, since he's looking for someone in Santorini, it might be a special race born there. There are so many races in Santorini."

"Tom, do we have any records of people suspected of having the Divine attribute in our database?"

"I do have a record of a special Life here, but it's not Dominator or above. Never mind, I'll report it first."

"Divine attribute? Is this person trying to research the Divine attribute to deal with demons? Indeed, the Divine attribute is naturally anathema to demons. I might as well pay more attention; after all, it's also contributing to the universe, and there are void stones to be had. Why not?"

Not long after Lin Ye posted, some people provided suspected candidates.

"No, no, this boy just has a simple light attribute; he's not even a Dominator. Sorry, your information is worthless."

"Oh, it's actually a special Life with a Divine attribute, but unfortunately, it's only Star Level."

"This is a Divine attribute? Are you kidding me?!"
