It’s already considered "Freedom of Magic Power" for them.
Seeing this heap of Magic Power Crystals, as if they were free of charge, they finally understood what their companions meant by "Freedom of Magic Power" in the church’s communication network over the past two days.
Converted to panel units, it’s likely in the millions...
They still didn’t know that this pile was just casually gathered by Bai Yi, accumulated over time by the Fungus Blankets that had retracted underground in the Dynasty instance.
This doesn’t even include the output from her other resource stars!
After all, she couldn’t possibly perform another series of Divine Descent to harvest more Magic Power Crystals specifically for this occasion, and this amount isn’t insignificant either.
Even though, on Dynasty Star, under her command, the Fungus Blankets have retracted underground, the magic power extraction hasn’t decreased by much.
After all, magic power isn’t like air; it isn’t blocked by the earth. The efficiency of extracting magic power depends entirely on the Fungus Blanket’s own extraction efficiency and its reach to magic power.
With the planet fully covered, having reached a certain limit, the Fungus Blankets can now split hyphae and actively penetrate deeper underground, extracting magic power as efficiently as on the surface.
In fact, due to the recent gene update, the extraction efficiency has greatly increased, resulting in even higher output.
Unfortunately, this efficiency has now hit a bottleneck, and further improvements can’t be made just by enhancing ordinary extraction efficiency.
But that’s a topic for another time; for now, this portion of Magic Power Crystals serves as a transition. As long as the Fungus Blankets spread smoothly, their magic power output will be more than sufficient for the expeditionary army.
Moreover, the expeditionary army also has an instance...
That instance has established a church and been integrated into the territory framework. Although nominally still under the expeditionary army, her control doesn’t require panel recognition.
It brought her a planet capable of producing resources, and these Magic Power Crystals are just a trivial part of it.
"With these resources, you can barely keep up with the pace.
Yes, consider it compensation for not guiding you from the very start."
"Your Highness, please don’t say that. It’s us who failed to keep up with your pace from the beginning.
With these resources, we can definitely skip many development stages and bring you more territory!
By the way, since you last left, our Spell research has progressed significantly under my sister’s guidance.
However, as Your Highness knows, the church network has been occupied by the space battleship project recently, and there hasn’t been time to synchronize.
This time, we can also use you to conduct a synchronization."
This great harvest stemmed from Bai Yi’s gift, and the Five Sea Dominator was quite thrilled inside.
But she didn’t forget that, as part of the witch, they need to give back to Bai Yi, not just take from her, by bringing her more.
And this knowledge is one of the best forms of repayment.
As for calling this a request, that’s just part of the play...
No, it’s more a phrasing to make Your Highness more comfortable accepting it.
Even though she really wanted to present it as a gift, considering, first, this knowledge is the fruit of her sister’s wisdom, and secondly, Your Highness would probably be embarrassed.
Delivering it like a work report seems most fitting now.
"Of course, no problem, but..."
Bai Yi, in her Divine Descent form, glanced downward, with a slightly unnerved tone:
"Could you let go, please?"
Underneath her, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts was still clinging to her leg when, as she recalled, she’d used the Power of Faith during teleportation to pry her off. How did she manage to cling on again!
But on second thought, perhaps this is also an embodiment of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts’ proficiency with the Power of Faith...
Reminded, the King of Ten Thousand Beasts finally realized what she needed to do, yelping, and hurriedly retreated to the side.
Darn, interrupted again!
The research on faith is a matter of time, not urgent, and there’s no rush to reclaim the space now...
Temporarily shelving the King of Ten Thousand Beasts’ matters, Bai Yi turned to continue where she left off, only to realize that being interrupted made her forget her prepared speech, leaving her to awkwardly arrange:
"Just synchronize the knowledge with me first.
As for her, she’ll stay here with you for now; I’ll bring her back as soon as possible.
In the meantime, let her shine brightly here with you.
Having been around for so long, the Power of Faith is nearly depleted. Once the knowledge synchronization is complete, it’s time for me to leave."
It’s not that Bai Yi didn’t want to directly take the King of Ten Thousand Beasts; if she wanted, there would be ways to bring her back to the territory.
The barrier of the area isn’t a hindrance to her.
However, compared to that, the research on faith needs to be conducted within the instance, and bringing someone into it isn’t a simple task.
However, she now has found a method, just requiring some additional experimentation...
The knowledge synchronization in the network is rapidly progressing and soon completes.
Even with just a quick glance over that knowledge, many surprises were found, leaving her quite satisfied.
Waving her hand again, Bai Yi’s figure vanished, returning to the original room and concluding the Divine Descent.
"Ha, that King of Ten Thousand Beasts indeed has some skills."
