Chapter 1056: The Uncontrolled Beginning
fort.The captain managed to force the ship into port, but luckily everyone was unharmed. However, the cargo of food suffered, with all the gourmet hamburgers and bread ruined by the water.Tang Wenyao..........
Psychic downpour, a special weather phenomenon that suddenly appeared over the Jade Capital Continent.
Scholars are researching this unusually long-lasting torrential downpour, speculating that it may be caused by an overflow of Reiki energy condensing into a five-element storm in the world.
This five-colored rainstorm directly caused the water level of the entire Yunmeng Great Marsh to rise. Unable to do anything about it, the two human cities of Luoyang and Chang'an could only take to the skies......
And it has brought great opportunities and new challenges.
.......
In the midst of the heavy rain, a woman stood alone.
She doesn't look like an ordinary young lady.
Psychic Storm, although rich in the five elements' spiritual energy, is chaotic and dangerous. She must be someone of extremely high cultivation.
"You suddenly appeared out of nowhere, don't you know you might scare people!" The woman in black suddenly spoke to the air.
"Haha, Great Sage Equal to Heaven can rival even the Underworld! And he's afraid of you three parts. I'm just a tiny kitchen maid for the King Yama of Chang'an, how could I possibly scare the Pipa King"
"Oh my... I'm not trying to make myself more feminine, just practicing a bit!" Pipa suddenly came closer. "Little chef, you have great senses. You tell me... how did I do just now"
Meng Po pretended to sniff.
"Enchanting woman, where is your feminine charm"
"You're asking for it!!!"
"Let's stop joking around, I've just finished feeding Dahu (meaning "silly" or "clumsy"), and I have some free time now. What flavor are you in the mood for today"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well today. Maybe you should go to the Palace Mausoleum of Luoyang instead.... "
"Oh!" Meng Po exclaimed, "You gluttonous little girl has changed her mind"
“No.” The pipa shook her head. “I was ordered to pierce the tunnel from Yúnmèng to Shābàodi, and divert the Five Elements Flood to the sand dunes, but there was too much water underground, almost overwhelming Lóngmén. Luoyang City has already flown away, and the city is working hard to manage the floodwater at Lóngmén. They need it more than I do...”
"Piercing through the Cloudscape into a desert.... What a bold stroke!"
"Lu Cheng said that after the qi steamed over the cloud-dream marsh, the five elements condensed into a spiritual energy storm, and waves gathered into floods, shaking the city. But if used well, it could be directly channeled to the desert region, irrigating thousands of miles of sand dunes into five-colored soil, which would become fertile farmland."
"Well...so, is there an emergency at Ryūgaku"
"Mm." Pipa nodded slightly.
“Forget it, just take this first.” Meng Po handed over the bowl: “Your wounds aren’t fully healed, and you’re still going all out in this storm. You need to warm your dantian, or you’ll be in agony tonight. There are some spirit pearls taking a break over there; I have plenty of ways to handle that.”
"Well then.... hope everything goes smoothly."
.......
This downpour actually came rather strangely.
Lu Cheng counted the cards on the table. It shouldn't be enough to form a "psychic storm" of this scale, such a large climate buff.
The sudden weather buff also disrupted Lu Cheng's arrangements.
This buff is actually hard to say if it's positive or negative.
With proper guidance, newly acquired planets can be upgraded to the resource planet card 【Five-Colored Heaven】.
Who would complain about having too many resource cards in their deck
But before the cave was built, things were indeed difficult.
First, Menil sealed himself within a soul coffin for an upgrade. For the next century, his wife will serve as regent, but this new Sand Domain commander has far weaker control over cards than her husband.
She exposed the coordinates of a star card, causing its world, Sand Dune - 5, to be subjected to a psychic bombardment by a Multi Eyed Behemoth in the third round. The population was almost completely wiped out, with millions killed.
According to the alliance agreement, Lu Cheng needs to help her with disaster relief, get her out of the bombing, and the main building materials source has been cut off by Lazy Waist.
It is probably impossible to extract new sandstone and crude oil for at least a hundred years.
Meanwhile, on his own desk, a torrential downpour raged, requiring him to pierce channels to divert flow to the new domain card.
But this requires enough building materials to reinforce the dragon gate, otherwise, the dragon gate will be overwhelmed......
Unless military-grade materials are requisitioned, this hurdle will be difficult to clear.
Military-grade materials being diverted is extremely dangerous. The new spell card "Wormhole" from the Spiritual faction can activate at any time, and we must be prepared for surprise Wormhole attacks and Psychic bombardment. Essentially, we don't have much material to work with.
Therefore, we can only rely on excess energy and special cards to make up for it.
Lu Cheng used almost all of his high-star cards to clear the sewers, control flooding, and help Shayu develop. This basically resulted in no progress for a hundred rounds.
Even the production of immortal energy from Kunlun Mountain has come to a standstill, let alone the ships sailing the seas.
After a great victory at Mount Hai, the enemy army was depleted. If we could capitalize on this success and pursue them relentlessly, there's a chance we could win a decisive naval battle and lift the blockade in one fell swoop.
But the two events slowed down the card dealing speed.
Lu Cheng knew that, in the next hundred years, the enemy would probably have to ease up.
However, the results here are still acceptable.
The Mountain Sea Pass held firm against the surprise attack. It's evident that the other side wouldn't be able to launch a substantial land assault in the short term. By sacrificing a century of development, the incident was resolved, and the newly acquired planet cards became dazzling five-colored celestial realms.
What's most crucial is that thanks to the Spiritual Rainstorm, the Wood attribute has been surging. The output of [Five-Colored Cave Heaven] and [Cloud Dream Marsh] has started to catch up gradually.
From now on, we must catch up with the 100-year gap that has disappeared....!
........
It both helps and restricts humanity, feared like tigers and wolves. Why bother
This is the original words asked by Lord Dongzhi to Venus.
In reality, Venus used the money given by her master to help humanity. However, she feared that human development would be too rapid, so she put many obstacles in their way.
Her purpose is to oppress the spiritual kind, forcing the dominators to join the macro world.
Not only did it provide humans with extra energy and wood resources, but it also caused Lu Cheng a lot of trouble, making him disappear for a whole hundred turns.
She believed that the situation, where Lu Cheng had a slight advantage, was just right.
Let the spirit race be defeated, and then use money to incite the swarm lords to capture Lu Cheng in one fell swoop, eliminating this highly promising human threat.
But... within her branches, the subconscious of the original Death King was restless and agitated.
Not until the final round of a hundred years did she suddenly realize.
There were some mistakes!
.......
Chang'an King Lu Cheng, the master of Baiyu Jing, a guardian celestial being of the Three Realms, the admiral of the Heavenly River Water Army, and the commander-in-chief of Nantian Gate.........
He has a long list of titles that cannot be written down.
But each one was fought for tooth and nail in a losing battle...
Every single one...
This man, he has never played against an advantageous matchup...
If she wants Lu Cheng to win with a slight advantage, she should control the situation so that Lu Cheng has a small disadvantage!
No one has ever seen what his winning hand looks like.
This time, it seems her long-arm balancing tactic has run its course.
Although Bai Yu Jing lost one hundred rounds on the table now, she obtained an evolved Huaxia characteristic plant planet. Lu Cheng should have a slight advantage.
This will be a matchup no one has ever seen before... Lu Cheng's advantageous position.
But.... fortunately, the advantage isn't that big.
It should.
Won't anything go wrong capable of reason. They refuse to reason with you because fundamentally, you are not a member of the demon race and lack the strength to do so.RelianceThat's very direct."Master, how powerful is the...
