439: Happo Castle Ruins

The clone searches for treasures.

The main body, besides assisting in fights, operates the Destiny Law to peek into the future.

One day, as Lin Ye operated the Destiny Law, he suddenly received unexpected news.

“Bafang City? There’s a city in this Battlefield of the Gods?” Lin Ye was incredibly curious.

“Of course there is. Various forces have been in this Battlefield of the Gods for some years now, and they’ve already figured out methods for development,” Hu said.

“Oh?”

“First, I don't need to explain the initial operations. You’ve seen the killing of fierce beasts, collecting entrance fees, and establishing formations. These are all for rational development, including the so-called teleportation formations. Ostensibly, they separate the factions to prevent early conflicts, but in reality, they disperse people throughout the battlefield for maximum development.”

“And after these people find treasures, they will have various needs. How to solve this?” Hu asked.

“Build a place to help them trade, forge, resupply, and so on,” Lin Ye said, understanding.

“Exactly. Establish cities to meet the needs of all parties. Those who have just found treasures are all wealthy, and we can make a huge profit from them.”

“As for me, I don’t generate any needs; I just focus on finding treasures. Those people grow stronger through trade, find more treasures, and have a greater chance of winning in conflicts.”

“Under a snowball effect, those who rapidly improve their strength through trade are the biggest winners.”

“So, once such a place exists, everyone will go there to trade.”

“But building a city in the Battlefield of the Gods is not easy. By the time it opens next, anything built previously would have been corroded by chaotic energy. Therefore, sealing formations are needed to prevent chaotic energy from destroying them. Even so, most of what remains is incomplete,” Hu said.

“Then Bafang City must be a city left from before. Now that the seal is about to be lifted, it’s a good opportunity.”

“Can this city be stolen by others?” Lin Ye asked, puzzled.

“It’s ownerless. Who can’t claim it? Did you build it? If it’s been abandoned for many years, it can’t be said to be yours. However, the builders do have some advantages in the competition. They know the city layout and the distribution of defensive facilities perfectly. Even if they are corroded by chaotic energy and most of these things are unusable, some advantages can still be preserved,” Hu said.

Lin Ye stroked his chin, considering whether to get involved.

The builders definitely have all the advantages.

They know when it will open, what the layout is, what defensive facilities there are, and so on.

For example, for this opening, they built the formations and left a back door, so they can open it whenever they want.

This minimizes the chance of it falling into someone else's hands.

So, it’s very difficult to snatch food from a tiger’s mouth.

Not to mention, their organization is vast and powerful.

However, if one can snatch it, the benefits are self-evident.

It would definitely be a huge profit.

How can a producer compare to an exploiter in terms of profit?

The city owner takes a commission from all transactions. How can any individual compare to that income?

High risk, high reward.

It was false to say Lin Ye was not tempted.

“Hu, what do you think?” Lin Ye asked.

Hu naturally knew Lin Ye’s little thoughts.

“It’s difficult, very difficult, but not necessarily without opportunity. The most important thing for every city is its core. That core relates to everything in the city. Obtaining it means controlling the entire city.”

“But the core is fixed there. After chaotic corrosion, it’s ownerless. To refine it, you need a long time, much harder than refining an ordinary divine artifact. Do you have the confidence? With your ability, refining it would take at least half a year,” Hu said.

“Half a year? I’m afraid I can’t hold out for half a year,” Lin Ye said with a wry smile.

Let alone half a year, even a few days would be incredibly difficult.

That’s not one or two people, but something guarded by an entire faction.

Even if you occupy it for a period, can you defend against a faction’s attack for such a long time?

Lin Ye had no confidence.

By himself, there was no possibility of winning.

“Of course, it’s not without a chance. It depends on whether you can find some people to cooperate. As long as you find enough people, then with combined strength, dealing with one faction is within reach,” Hu said.

Lin Ye, however, fell silent.

This would be difficult too.

Organizing scattered individuals to fight an organized and disciplined faction.

This…

This is harder than rebellion.

Those dynasties that were overthrown mostly had popular support and a mass base, which is why the rebellions succeeded.

Now, asking Lin Ye to organize such a massive operation, Lin Ye indicated he couldn’t do it, absolutely couldn’t.

“No, it’s indeed difficult for me to organize it myself, but I have the Soul Reaper,” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up.

The Soul Reaper rarely showed his edge after reaching the two-star level.

Lin Ye only had two demon slaves.

One was Vega, collecting Sacrifice Power in hell.

The other was Max, the butler of the Blood Farm in the Scarlet Land.

Both demons were very useful to Lin Ye.

Now, another place requiring talent had emerged.

Couldn’t the Soul Reaper’s inheritance be put to use?

“Since Destiny has given me a clue, it seems Bafang City is likely a demon city, and there must be a possibility of obtaining it for it to manifest,” Lin Ye thought.

“In that case, the clone should return. Now, let’s concentrate our strength and begin planning for Bafang City.” Lin Ye’s eyes revealed a sharp glint.

Now, concentrate strength to plan Bafang City.

.........

Bafang City.

A city originally built by the Thirty-Seventh Demon God, Phoenix.

Phoenix

Phoenix is an extremely ferocious demonic beast. He possesses undying flames that can easily incinerate everything in the world.

And his Phoenix Legion inherited a part of Phoenix’s abilities, similarly powerful and terrifying.

Such a powerful entity is rare in the entire world, so few dare to provoke them.

This time, Phoenix opened Bafang City, and naturally, no one dared to risk opposing him.

After all, even those rogue cultivators with ill intentions would only choose easy targets and would never choose a tough opponent like Phoenix.

So, Phoenix did not feel that anyone would risk their Life to challenge him.

“Shiba, how much longer until it’s finished?” Phoenix asked idly, sipping his wine.

This wine was no ordinary liquor, but brewed from precious treasures, with a layer of burning flames floating on top.

Shiba is Phoenix’s chief steward, handling his trivial matters.

Demon Gods rarely do things themselves; they establish a management team to manage their forces.

And they themselves focus on increasing their strength to maintain their position.

“My lord, there are still two months until Bafang City opens,” Shiba replied.

“Hmm, don’t cause any trouble during this period. Watch it carefully,” Phoenix said.

“Yes.”
