Chapter 378 - The Denizens of the Light Expanse Enter
Throughout the Sanctum, a bustle of activities were taking place as the Celestials moved to ensure everything went their way with the entrance of the numerous beings from powerful Prime Worlds into the Celestial Realm. The expansive colonized area of the Celestial Realm that was hundreds of miles long had communications running throughout the different parts as they prepared for the ma.s.sive increase in the number of beings.
The central area of the Sanctum that was cl.u.s.tered with most buildings was the busiest, while the empty areas of mystical forests that only had watchtowers every few tens of miles monitoring the explored regions had the least amount of activity. It was decided that the coming beings would be residing in these empty but explored regions, regions similar to the ones that Noah and Athena had entered into with the Righteous Fire Exploration Team where they had encountered a Fire Behemoth!
These regions weren"t entirely safe, but those entering would be given this information and told to prepare as they forged their own path in the Celestial Realm.
Talismans that could be given to all those who entered so they could be kept track of were produced en ma.s.se as hundreds of thousands were ready, the Celestials looking forward to the future where their resource collection would multiply by an unknown factor as they received even more treasures through the intrusion of these beings, while also influencing them greatly for the coming future.
In a particular nondescript vessel, the forces of the Pureblood Vampyres of the Underworld were cl.u.s.tered together neatly as they continued towards the Golden Door. There were hundreds of Prime Warsh.i.p.s in the surroundings, causing every single being to be very well behaved as they knew very well the power of these fearsome weapons
The Pureblood Vampyres watched the procession of beings getting out of their vessels as they were read the rules and accepted the tracking talisman, their turns soon nearing as the Royal Vampyre Elena led her forces forward.
Among them were the forces of Beasts from Noah"s Spiritual Land and the Calamities of the Sea that had used the numerous cores that Noah brought back to upgrade their rank to the Void Realm, their gazes s.h.i.+ning a dangerous light as they looked at the beings that so easily destroyed their world.
Their hearts were stifled, but they knew they could not do anything at this moment as they continued to improve their strength until they achieved a level of power that would allow them to move however they wished.
The arrogant Emperor Penguin floated in the void of s.p.a.ce as his body pulsed with a unique force, his spatial attribute going very well with the unique qualities of s.p.a.ce as he stood at the forefront of the forces right next to Elena.
Their turn came as they floated towards the front of the procession where multiple Red Robed Celestials were located, golden lights s.h.i.+ning upon them as they were read the agreement for entering the Celestial Realm and each one was given a tracking talisman. This would effectively act as their ident.i.ty for when they wanted to enter or leave the Celestial Realm in the future!
Something of important note was the reminder from the Celestials that even though whatever they obtained in the Celestial Realm would be reduced by half as they gave the other half to the Celestials, whatever treasures they fought for and obtained would ultimately be theirs. They would not be bullied, and it was first come first serve when it came to battling the creatures in the Celestial Realm, or its vast mystical treasures.
Like all the previous denizens of the Light Expanse, the Pureblood Vampyres agreed as they were granted access to move forward, their origins coming in contact with the Golden Door as their figures disappeared, instantly reappearing in a bustling area at the center of the Sanctum that now held even more people!
Different to when Noah first entered, a huge change had occurred in the past few days as the Celestials antic.i.p.ated the many uses of the increase in beings, going to inst.i.tute a few things, with one of them being shops!
There were numerous stalls spread out all over the Sanctum that offered a variety of products unique to the Celestial Realm, some being oversized weapons and armor made from the bodies of behemoths, others being medicinal herbs or unique treasures that Celestials ran into themselves as they explored.
Currently, many of these shops were spread out as each one held a singular similarity, and that was the incredulous prices that were attached to the things offered for sale!
As they were unique products never to be found anywhere else, they were traded only with the highest quality cores or other treasures as a form of payment, with the least acceptable cores or refined cores(Spirit Stones) being those at the Soul Realm, and the prices ranged in the tens of cores.
This was just a preliminary test that the Celestials were conducting, their future goal being to create an economy as this new force entered the Celestial Realm, using the many things they obtain within to circulate as they grew more and more attached to the Realm and everything in it.
This also went in their favor as to them, they were simply lending out weapons that would help these beings to take down Behemoths that they would eventually be taking 50% of whenever the denizens of the Light Expanse defeated them, and this also applied to any treasures they were lucky enough to find!
It was a win win situation that promoted the strength of the newly arriving beings while only furthering the goals of the Celestials more.
The forces of the Pureblood Vampyres looked around their surroundings in wonder as they sensed the engulfing and overflowing essence in the surroundings, the Emperor Penguin being particularly happy as he could sense the Spiritual Land Master not too far away from where they were!
"Master, we can finally fight in the same location as you!"
The arrogant penguin felt a tight knot in its chest loosen as it achieved the goal of helping its Master, finally gaining enough strength to be able to stand in the same region as him. Its beak raised to the skies as it vowed to enact the legend of the most fearsome Spiritual Beast that ever lived and leave a mark in this Celestial Realm for its Master!
Many hopes and dreams were flowing through the minds of the newly arriving beings from powerful Prime Worlds in the Light Expanse as the largely unexplored fantastical Celestial Realm received a large influx of forces, on the first day gaining tens of thousands of beings at the Void Realm, and hundreds at the Soul Forging Rank as the tides of change swiftly moved forward.
The influx of these new forces only meant one thing- that this largely unexplored realm was about to become even more lively, numerous beings with their own fates entering as mysteries would more quickly be unveiled. Although, the result of this project on a large scale could only be seen by those actually moving the pieces in the dark.
