Struggle in the Steam Age

After the whirling feeling subsided, Lawrence slowly opened his eyes. It turned out that I was still sitting cross-legged on the small platform at the edge of the pyramid's core room as before. The only difference is that a yellow fruit with a diameter of about one meter, like a piece of beeswax, appeared in front of him so abruptly.

"This thing is really brought out, and it still appears in a physical form." After gently touching the Jianmu fruit in front of him, which looks like a large pumpkin, Lawrence couldn't help but widen his eyes. Ever since he came to this world Afterwards, I learned a lot of knowledge about transcendence and mysticism by myself, so I naturally knew how difficult it is to obtain entities from a space that is biased toward consciousness like Jianmu space.

At least in the cases he knew, apart from some top casters who could do this with enough materials and the assistance of various magics, the only ones who could do this were gods.

While stroking the fruit just now, the fruit also sent him a message of hunger. Seeing this, Lawrence began to press the fruit with both hands to send magic power inward.

Unexpectedly, it was different from the magic transmission that Lawrence had been exposed to before. During this magic transmission, Lawrence could feel the dots of white light emerging from the phantom of Bai Ze in his mind, and then follow his body little by little. The body flows to the fruit in front of it. And this loss of core magic power also gave him a feeling of weakness that even his bone marrow was taken away.

"What's going on here?" Lawrence became nervous all of a sudden, because the phantom of Bai Ze represented his own magical core. If it goes on like this, it will range from supernatural to lower, and if it is serious, the whole person will lose his life.

Therefore, Lawrence immediately prepared to withdraw his hands on the Jianmu fruit. But at this moment, Bai Ze Xuying exhaled fiercely and lit the candle formed by the dragon's remnant soul that consumed 1/3 in the previous battle into a fireball again, and then took a deep breath on the fireball. in one breath.

In an instant, a line of fire flew out of the fireball and sank into Bai Ze Xuying's mouth. After receiving the help of external force, part of the strength that Bai Ze Xuying consumed before was immediately made up. Then more power was transmitted to the fruit in front of him through Bai Ze Xuying.

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that Bai Ze Xuying had returned to normal. After all, he didn't dare to take it lightly on this important issue related to the existence of his extraordinary power. Fortunately, the dragon's remnant soul, which had a hint of divinity before, was consumed instead of Bai Ze phantom at this time.

What followed was a long process of instilling magic power, which was so long that Lawrence was a little worried that he would not be able to meet the needs of the fruit in front of him. Fortunately, at the moment when the fireball transformed from the dragon's remnant soul was completely consumed, the Jianmu fruit in front of Lawrence finally sent a signal of satisfaction.

It may be because the energy absorbed by this fruit before was filtered through the phantom of Bai Ze in Lawrence's body, so Lawrence could feel that there was some kind of indescribable but yet unspeakable relationship between himself and the fruit in front of him. The extremely strong connection is even closer than the connection between him and Jianmu Space.

Through this connection, he could feel something beating like a heart inside the fruit. With this pulsation, the Jianmu fruit slowly floated up, and then flew into the sky above the golden lotus in the center of the pool in front of him while Lawrence was paying attention.

At this time, the golden lotus also seemed to feel the fruit, expanding rapidly as if being inflated, and did not stop until it expanded to the size of a double bed, and then the fruit quietly fell on the golden lotus. In the center of the lotus, the petals that had been opened before slowly closed together to form a huge bud, wrapping the Jianmu fruit just now in the middle.

"What the hell is this?" After watching the series of changes in the fruit, Lawrence felt a little confused. If he hadn't been sure that what he was doing now was what this fruit really needed, he might have taken action to stop it long ago.

Lawrence didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the fruit flying towards the golden lotus flower. After all, the piece of godhood sacrificed by him had spent a long time with this golden lotus flower before. As for the special interaction between the two now, it is also very reasonable.

After the fruit entered the golden lotus, Lawrence could perceive through the special connection with the fruit that it needed to stay in the golden lotus for three days to complete the final transformation. After getting this information, Lawrence patted his legs that were a little numb from sitting cross-legged for a long time before standing up.

"Ah, I think now I can do something else instead of waiting here." He stood up and took out his pocket watch. To his surprise, he felt like he was in the Jianmu space just now. Fight for several days. But now when he looked at his pocket watch, he realized that he had only stayed in the Jianmu space for an hour at most.

"It seems that there is a big difference between the passage of time felt in the soul world and the time change in the real world." Lawrence thought as he walked out of the room. Of course, this is good news for him. After all, the flow of time outside this astral world is similar to that of the outside world, and Lawrence doesn't want Safir to worry about himself outside for too long.

In the next three days, Lawrence and Shumei (?) explored the entire pyramid and recorded all the information in the pyramid. The information here is not much related to the extraordinary, but it comprehensively describes the life of the ancient Nile civilization.

Of course, as the large pyramids of the god of the Nile River and the god of abundance in ancient Nile culture, the life described here should refer to the ideal life under favorable weather conditions. However, from this information, he also basically understood why the upper limit of the astral plane is so high but there are not many extraordinary people.

Because this astral plane originally belonged to the gods, and the early human gods were also in a very ignorant state, only aware of the existence of the poison of belief, but there was no good way to get rid of the poison of belief.

So in the past, God Harbi found and transformed such a heaven-like astral plane with all kinds of resources in the eyes of the ancient Nile civilization race, and invested a few of his own jackal tribes in it. To gain a purer faith. Because although the IQ of the jackals is a little lower, they are much purer than human beliefs.

In the astral plane, almost all energy is used to control and regulate the climate of the plane, resources, and the consolidation and expansion of the space around the plane. As a result, the entire plane is in a state of poverty, and only the clergy and fanatics of the Habi God can use their faith to exert extraordinary power in this world.

Through such a design, this astral plane has been successfully transformed into the most important source of the power of faith for God Habi and a training base for supernatural beings directly under it.

With the passage of time, intelligent creatures' understanding of extraordinary power has also been slowly converted from being exclusive to the gods to being part of the existence of the world. Naturally, in this way, the overall degree of human belief in gods will be greatly reduced. And under the control of God Harbi, the stubborn jackals in this astral plane still continue their original life day after day like living fossils. This is also the case until the entire plane is out of the control of Harbi God.

Leaving the gods didn't have much impact on this plane, because God Habi designed a relatively perfect circulation system before, so that the entire plane can still operate as usual even when almost no one controls it.

The only ones who were more affected were the extraordinary people who were trained here. Because of the disconnection with the gods, the strength of the extraordinary people was getting weaker and weaker. At the same time, because only those who hold the key can enter this astral plane, they are also completely trapped here.

All this didn't change until Scarlet Sky came. After they slaughtered the last group of believers of Harpy God, they maintained the status quo here, because the black priest as the leader planned to use the particularity of this place to assist him in attacking demigods. Even conferred gods. But this has nothing to do with the local jackals.

"Now it seems that I will be the next owner of this astral plane." Lawrence thought while summarizing the collected resources, "I really should think about what to do next."
