1199 Iron Blood Treaty Part 1 (1/2)
The mages cheered, but Saleen did not feel lightheaded, as they were none who came out to face him, and there were no territorial powers used against him.
According to Saleen's analysis, if Jason had used territories, his Puppet Constellation would not have had any effect. However, his Puppet Constellation was very powerful, which meant that the territory that had been ripped from Saleen was already restored.
The Puppet Territory was extremely invasive, as it contained properties of the Puppet of God's heart. Saleen realized why his teacher asked to have his territory stripped after he realized its properties.
Such properties were detrimental to mages because they added too many abilities that hindered a mage's advancement, but when the properties were transferred to a piece of equipment, it became beneficial instead.
Saleen was able to use such equipment to do tasks usually reserved for demons, enabling easier dismantling of temples, which enabled the low level materials in the Puppet Constellation to be absorbed.
The puppets in Puppet Constellation took the materials and created new puppets, adding to the mass of the Puppet Constellation.
It was capable of self-evolution. At the end of the process, it would possess the power of the God of Puppets.
A God of Puppets might even appear in the equipment, giving birth to divine fire and manifesting a divine persona. If a god appeared, they would be a part of Saleen's weapon spirit. Saleen was extremely impressed by his teacher,.
The cheers gradually subsided. Everyone was happy because they learned something. If they only read about it, it would take them decades to comprehend.
The Puppet Constellation was miraculous. Any mage below level ten could not even aspire to obtain it.
The mages' personal experience with the equipment could not be replaced and could not be described with words.
The Puppet Constellation shrank and the sun in the sky appeared again. The dazzling stars around disappeared as well. A ball of the size of an eye dropped into Saleen's hand.
Saleen caressed it and sensed the Big Guy feeling relieved. The Big Guy would heal quickly in the space and no longer need to fear death.
The Puppet Constellation took up a slot in the Starline Bangle. Saleen descended from the sky, and the mages dispersed to return to their own residences and digest everything they learned.
The temple guards returned to their formations, heading back to their respective garrisons. Saleen went to Jason's place after he returned to the temple.
”Teacher, I finally got what you said,” Saleen said when he saw his teacher. It was rare for him to skip formalities and share his excitement with his teacher.
”Glad you did.” Jason did not mind. Saleen's growth meant that his plan could be completed earlier than expected.
Jason began telling Saleen about interdimensional spaces. The one connected to the temple was growing at breakneck speed, as if it was growing alongside Myers Mainland.
The land around Raphael's magic tower expanded to over 300 square meters and the forest grew at an even more frightening rate. The volcano no longer erupted and most of the dust in the air settled.
There was a hill beneath Raphael's magic tower. A huge spring appeared below the hill with freshwater fit for irrigation flowing. Furthermore, according to the mages' calculations, the number of wellsprings would only increase.
More wellsprings would appear below the hill, forming a river that would flow everywhere.
Raphael had chosen the place because it was on the path to becoming a full-fledged plane. There were celestial entities in the sky and the sun was no longer bright red.
The heat would enable plants to grow, and not just the ones native to the interdimensional space that relied on the energy provided by underground fires to survive.
Jason told Saleen that the entire interdimensional space would surpass Saleen's kingdom sooner or later. It would be deemed fit for human living and the flying puppets created by the mages had detected sea at the end of the land. The sea would give birth to native life someday, despite only being dead water at the moment.
”What should I do then, Teacher?” Saleen asked for Jason's thoughts on the matter.
”Myers Mainland is on its way to restoration, but things are getting increasingly worse. It's best to move all of your subjects to the interdimensional space. Unless it is interfered with by gods, it will not decay for millions of years.”
”That's a tall order.” Saleen was exasperated. Move everyone to the interdimensional space? No way the teleportation portal can be used for that. His kingdom had over 10 million people, and they were all very loyal.
There were more than five million loyal subjects at Lex's side waiting to be moved. The total number of people to be moved neared 20 million.
”When the Puppet World advances to level 13, it will be able to carry living beings, and you will be able to move over a million people at once. What are you fretting about?”
Saleen thought for a bit. It was impossible for him to move his subjects right away, but since there were no one in the interdimensional space at the moment, he could take his time to build a city and get farming lands sorted out, creating the basic infrastructure that every nation needed.
