1082: The Dark Troll's Chosen Son of Fortune

"black crystal? You collect these things?" Maurice's face showed some doubt upon hearing this.

In fact, compared to gold coins, black crystal was something they could obtain more easily!

After all, within the innumerable Dark monsters in the Darkness, a considerable portion contained black crystals!

Besides the risk of hunting, the quantity of black crystals was almost endless, inexhaustible!

After all, in this Darkness, monsters were forming almost every moment under the condensation of the power of Darkness!

However, compared to the amount of over three thousand kilograms requested by Li Changkong, this was indeed a huge challenge.

"Can some of the black crystal be offset with gold coins? It won't be possible to obtain over three thousand kilograms of black crystal in the short term," Vice City Lord Maurice asked in a somewhat negotiating tone.

Li Changkong slightly shook his head upon hearing the idea of offsetting black crystal with gold coins.

Of course, that was impossible.

After all, here at the System, the currency needed to purchase electrical facilities like wires and towers in the appliance store was the power of Darkness!

Without black crystal, Li Changkong himself couldn't even procure the goods.

"How about this, we also know your current situation is difficult."

"I'll make an exception and allow you to pay in installments. First, hand over six hundred kilograms of black crystal, and the rest can be paid back slowly over three months."

Li Changkong said, seemingly generous.

In fact, six hundred kilograms of black crystal was the cost price for all the supporting facilities from the System's side!

And the remaining over two thousand kilograms of black crystal were all Li Changkong's profit!

As for whether they would default on the subsequent payments if he built the facilities for them in advance, there was no need to worry about that either.

If they actually did that, Li Village could simply pull the power switch directly, rendering Busen City's electrical facilities useless.

According to the System.

The electrical energy they supplied for these appliances was not ordinary electrical energy; it couldn't be replaced by just any power source.

"Alright! Then it's settled, we'll hand over six hundred kilograms of black crystal first!" Maurice hadn't expected Li Changkong to be so understanding, and a hint of gratitude welled up in his heart.

After the general terms of the transaction were verbally agreed upon, Maurice led his group away.

They were clearly going to gather the black crystal.

...

Several hours passed.

When Li Changkong woke up after a nap, he happened to encounter Maurice and the others who had arrived.

Their condition clearly showed signs of considerable exhaustion.

Due to the special nature of black crystal, once it dropped, it would dissipate within a few days.

Therefore, it could generally only be obtained while it was still fresh.

At the moment the Holy Light Array collapsed yesterday, monsters entered the city and fought with the defenders of Busen City for a considerable time, and it was during that period that a lot of black crystal was obtained.

It was originally treated as waste.

And it just so happened that they managed to gather nearly five hundred kilograms of black crystal.

Adding the time spent in the subsequent hours, people within the city went out to hunt Dark monsters, and from this, they collected six hundred kilograms of black crystal.

Taking the heavy black crystal from Maurice's hands, Li Changkong nodded, and then took the black crystal to his house.

After absorbing it and converting it into the power of Darkness, he then used the power of Darkness to exchange for electrical facilities.

"Come with me," Li Changkong called out to these people, and soon led them to an open area.

On this ground, a large area of electrical facilities, ready to be installed, was impressively laid out!

"Are you in a hurry? If you are, you can send some people to help us with the labor, and then the project might be largely completed in just one or two hours."

"If not, it might take these people from Li Village over a month to finish."

"You only need to do some technical work. These devices, I and my subordinates will help you place them in the locations you designate," Maurice replied quickly.

Clearly, they hadn't considered waiting for Li Village to slowly handle these matters.

After finalizing the work distribution, the bustling construction, now spreading outwards from Li Village, began.

Looking at the situation, Li Changkong realized that ever since he obtained the System.

The people of Li Village were like infrastructure fanatics, either currently engaged in infrastructure construction or on the way to do so.

Outside the Village, the foundations for the electrical towers were quickly dug out by several Knights from Busen City.

After pouring the cement, the Magicians began to use their Magic power to change the surrounding temperature, causing it to solidify quickly.

Under the operation of several Magicians from Busen City, the huge electrical towers were slowly lowered onto the foundations.

Magicians suspended in the air, guided by the villagers of Li Village, brought the wires up to the electrical towers...

The speed of the infrastructure project, combined with Magic power, was unbelievably fast!

In just one hour.

The huge iron towers had reached the outskirts of Busen City!

As the wires were connected and distributed, poles and streetlights also began to be erected within the city.

...

Such a large project naturally attracted the attention of many people in the city.

People looked at these new facilities in the city, appearing completely puzzled.

Nobody had ever seen electric lights.

Therefore, seeing these streetlights that hadn't been turned on yet, everyone thought they were just strange decorative pillars.

"What is this?"

Su Liang had clearly also noticed this scene.

He was currently standing under a streetlight that wasn't powered, with a hint of doubt.

After seeing this thing, for some reason, a sense of unease arose in his heart.

That feeling was somewhat strange, making him very uncomfortable.

"That guy Maurice doesn't seem to be very settled," Looking towards another street, Su Liang noticed that there were also people installing these pillars on that street.

"Some large cylindrical objects have also been installed on the city walls of Busen City; Maurice seems to really be up to something else," the Elder of the Holy Light Department behind Su Liang spoke up to remind him.

She had just received this information through her subordinates.

"They've also installed this strange equipment on the city walls?" Su Liang's brows furrowed sharply upon hearing this.

"Damn it, did that guy really find some other way to resist the Darkness?"

"My potion is only one step away from being completed, there must not be any accidents at this time!" Su Liang's tone carried a hint of unease.

Not lingering on the street for long, Su Liang quickly walked to his current residence.

It was a luxurious palace.

And within the palace, there were large quantities of Materials for refining potions.

Looking at these Materials at a glance, they were enough to make one's scalp tingle with fright!

The most striking and eye-catching among them were the incomplete corpses.

Some lacked brains, some lacked eyes, some lacked hands...

Among these Materials, there was a dark purple potion!

Throughout this period, Su Liang had been refining this very potion!

This was a potion capable of driving countless people mad!

It was a potion formula that Su Liang had seen in a void after the Black World spread.

The potion was named [Divine Servant of Darkness. Human Rank].

Once this potion was successfully refined, he would be completely reborn, becoming the Dark God's sole Human servant, sharing the same lifespan as the Darkness!

While controlling the Dark monsters, he could also maintain his own thoughts unchanged!

Su Liang didn't know who the Dark God was.

But ever since he was young, he had felt a strange sense of closeness to the Darkness that people feared, as if... the Darkness had chosen him.

It wasn't until he discovered this potion formula that Su Liang completely understood that this thing was tailor-made for him!

He must complete the potion and be reborn!

Also because of the special nature of the potion, the formula required for this potion was relatively bloody and cruel.

Basically, every ingredient required the cost of a human life.

And there was one last ingredient missing.

'Heaven-Granted Holy Radiance!'

This thing could only possibly be obtained at the moment of coronation, relying on the prayers of the subjects, after a person was crowned King.

According to the ancient texts Su Liang knew, many Kings on the Magic Continent had received 'Heaven-Granted Holy Radiance' poured down from the heavens on the day of their coronation.

This thing was the destiny and Son of Destiny bestowed upon the King by Heaven.

It was precisely because of this that Su Liang had so threatened Maurice to give up the position of City Lord, even saying he would declare himself King.

Only by ascending the throne could he obtain the last ingredient for the potion!

Now, Maurice's actions made unease arise in his heart.

...

At the same time.

At the central Seal of the Magic Continent.

Ye Tian was currently building a series connection project for all the Divine Pillars.

Within each Divine Pillar, as tall as a mountain, the electrical energy was an individual entity.

Consuming them one by one like this was too troublesome.

So, Ye Tian connected them all together.

As long as the Host's side consumed enough, the electrical energy within so many Divine Pillars would all decrease simultaneously.

Busy until the end, Ye Tian finished his work on the Divine Pillar closest to the Dark Troll.

"You don't have much time left. While you're foolishly reinforcing the Array Formation, I have already planted my mark on you. The mark will accompany you permanently until the day I break the Seal!" The Dark Troll's immeasurably vast body was covered in electric light and dark clouds, hovering above the thunderclouds, the Troll's voice emerged, muffled and mocking.

Listening to the Troll's words, Ye Tian, who had finished his work, finally had time to chat with the other party: "Are you so sure you can break through the Seal? These suppressing Divine Pillars are still standing firm."

"Hahaha, you insignificant fellow, do you really think that to break through the Array Formation, this Lord can only rely on myself?"

"To be honest with you, even if this Lord does nothing at all, in just a few years, someone will help me break the Seal from the outside!"

"And with my own efforts combined, the time for the Seal to break will not exceed three years!"

The Dark Troll's voice was full of self-satisfaction.

"Is that so?" Ye Tian was noncommittal: "The person who will help you break the Seal from the outside should be the Son of Destiny of this World, right?"

"No, I should say, it's the Son of Destiny you've chosen."

"After all, the worlds will of this land is about to be devoured by you, you have already replaced the worlds will and possess the ability to choose the Son of Destiny yourself."

After Ye Tian's words fell, the Dark Troll uncharacteristically fell silent.

He was surprised, and also a little startled.

Startled and surprised that Ye Tian actually knew this!
