Chapter 1823 Digressed Too Much
"If this is the original power level of a Grade 4 of the old, that means if the Banned Emperor ever to arise, it is of a force that is unstoppable. Back then, as the Panda Clan was of the major supporting role, the elders did not exactly see the entire fight against the Banned Emperor. But it had been rumoured that the Banned Emperor was at Grade 19, nearing to Grade 19 Peak. Even the Jade Emperor who took over did not have such a cultivation."
"Geez. You make it sound like we are going back to the past."
"If there are agents of the Banned Emperor and they had been active according to Kong Rong, the System would always take the threat of the Banned Emperor properly. A Grade 19 Cultivator can be equivalent to a Minor G.o.d in the Celestial plane."
"What? Those G.o.ds are that strong? But when we fought with Baal, he was a Higher Demon and he did not feel that invincible at all." Jin said as he continued this chat with the System despite knowing that he had to do the multi train hub shop instance for Qiu Yue as soon as possible. (Perhaps, he is procrastinating especially since he just came back to this world.)
"If Demopolis King Baal were to fight within the Demon Plane when he was duelling with you, the System estimated that he would be at least three to four times stronger. However, if the User would go into a fight with Baal when he had stayed in the Demon Plane for ages, there is no way of defeating the Higher Demon without the help of Celestial Plane items."
"Wait, so you are saying the plane itself gave them energy and power? And when Baal comes out to create Demopolis, his power diminished?"
"Yes, you can have a talk with Baal if you want. The System deduced that he had his reasons for coming out of the Demon Plane and brought and also united his Demon kins and other Demon Kins into the Dungeon World. Although the intention might have been pure at the start, the desire to return to the Demon Plane had him become careless and greedy with our current researcher"s desire to be at the top."
"Ah, that stupid bat. Kiva…" Jin had almost forgotten his name.
"Exactly. If King Baal continued to be coerced by the artefact that Kiva had encountered while being in the Demon Plane, you would never win. Count your lucky stars he had been brainwashed of some sort that you were not fighting him on his own turf."
"s.h.i.+t… And there I thought, I was quite decent in combat." Jin recalled the harrowing fight against Baal and how he nearly died a couple of times if not for Moloch.
"In any case, we had digressed too much. The System"s main point is that the thought manipulation and prompt creation of dungeon instances anywhere can be done mostly due to your current new… "old" cultivation grade.
"Heh, from the way I see it, it felt like we are just taking the baby gloves off, the tutorial is over," Jin said but the System did not like such a red flag that Jin had spoken too casually about.
"Watch what you say, the System just wants to work without interference from other ent.i.ties. While the System does thirst for revenge against the Banned Emperor due to the inherent nature of our collective consciousness, the System prefers not to fully encounter the Emperor at all."
"Well, dittos to me too, who would want a Banned Emperor right at their doorstep? I am merely a dungeon supplier." Jin said in such a monotonous ignorant tone that if the others heard it, they would surely want to give him a punch.
Other than the conversation that Jin had with the System, the Dungeon Supplier finally started to work on the new shop instance. Even though he did say it would be a train hub, he was contemplating whether to use old model looking trains or high speed trains. If it was of the former, he went to search online for British train stations particularly Waterloo as a reference.
The fancy clocks and the spreading of the train rails from the train terminus when it moved out, had the charm of the old Western era that remained relevant to this day. There was nothing more than having it shout beautifully sculpted. Perhaps he could add a few Panda statues to it as well since he had to be careful not to copy the Waterloo station so blatantly.
"Hahaha, wouldn"t it be funny if some of the locomotives were to have cosmetic features? Like a Panda having its b.u.t.t face up and the smoke from the locomotives can be looked as if it was farting."
"That"s a terrible joke to play. Not to mention, the Animal Societies may come after you." The System replied.
"Even if I am the official Royal Zodiac Head of the Panda Clan?" Jin asked
"It"s sadly not official in the eyes of the public and its status is still pending within the Royal Zodiacs themselves. Your disappearance had made things even worse for Kong Rong."
"Hey at least, there can be no fights if there are no Panda Heads to be around."
"Sadly, that is true."
Returning to the reference of using London Waterloo Station also meant that it was easier for him to create the shops. All the existing stores were to be placed at the front and once they are done buying or even window shopping, the cultivators can quickly move to their destination.
The only problem is that the Waterloo train terminus seemed inefficient in Jin"s eyes. He might be able to build it big enough and spread it even wider, but there are only that many angles the train can go in 365 degrees Terminus railway station. What"s more, it would be a little dumb to put locomotive trains in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Though having modern trains in the bas.e.m.e.nt would solve the problem, it breaks the atmosphere by having old and new trains together.
Thus, Jin decided to go for the latter option instead.
