#64 - Chapter 64: The Age of Abyss

In the eyes of many lords, Wu Wei's actions since occupying the Dwarf Kingdom have been chaotic and incomprehensible.

You'd think that after occupying the Dwarf Kingdom, he should focus on rapid development, right?

But Wu Wei immediately converted all the wealth he gained into an army and launched the first tentative attack against Gu Changqing's alliance.

However, if you say that his first tentative attack was to expand further from the blockade of the opposing alliance,

Wu Wei instead abandoned almost all of his territory after the first wave of attacks and sent most of his army to the Bitter Sea Desert, actively attacking the Orc tribes that no lord dared to provoke.

Moreover, during the process of leading his army to the Bitter Sea Desert, Wu Wei actively dispersed his forces.

All of these actions were so bizarre that all the lords couldn't figure out what Wu Wei was trying to do.

However, after seeing that Wu Wei's attack direction was the Bitter Sea Desert, most of the lords actively gave up tracking Wu Wei's movements.

After all, in their eyes, Wu Wei is now a weirdo, a madman.

Does a madman need a reason to do strange things?

Therefore, most of the lords who could notice Wu Wei turned their attention to the battle for the lower world, formerly known as the Dwarf Kingdom.

The battles and disputes that took place there were far more eye-catching than what Wu Wei is doing now.

Because there, Gu Changqing's alliance and more than forty other lords were engaged in a frenzied battle.

Due to Wu Wei's quick and hasty withdrawal,

except for the Dwarf King City, all other towns were undefended.

Therefore, these undefended towns, like ownerless treasure troves, secretly attracted everyone's attention.

More and more forces, even the native forces of the Trial Continent, joined the war to seize the underground world, trying to get a share of the pie.

No one had the time to care about what Wu Wei was doing anymore.

And in fact, this was the purpose Wu Wei wanted.

There was a reason why Wu Wei went to so much trouble, even willing to give up the underground kingdom area of the dwarves to attack the Bitter Sea Desert.

The purpose of doing so was not simply to capture orcs as his own warriors, nor to transfer his territory, nor was it that he had suddenly gone mad.

His real purpose was to better "revive" the Endless Abyss.

The reason why the word revival is used is because Wu Wei now finally understood why the Endless Abyss looked so withered and dead.

At the same time, he finally understood why the Endless Abyss would provide him with such rich and convenient means of war.

Because the Endless Abyss was "starved to death".

Just like living beings, the Endless Abyss, as a special plane, has a desire to "feed".

The only difference is that the Endless Abyss's target is the various continents, planes, and even worlds.

And what helps her achieve this goal are the so-called Abyss Lords and their demons!

————————————

When Wu Wei continued to upgrade his territory to level fifteen, the system prompted him that he could no longer upgrade.

The only way he could continue to upgrade was to build an [Epoch Building] belonging to the Endless Abyss.

The so-called [Epoch Building] is equivalent to a "miracle" or "landmark" building in a civilization.

The completion of these buildings represents the lord's territory moving towards a new stage of civilization.

To put it simply, it's like humans needing castle buildings to move from the agricultural age to the feudal age, and factories and academies to move from the feudal age to the gunpowder age.

Whenever a lord upgrades his territory to a certain extent, his expansion must stop.

Because the development of a civilization in an era has an end. If the civilization develops to the end but does not break through, then the civilization of this era can only stagnate and cannot expand further.

Only those civilizations that break through the shackles of the era can enter a new era and continue to expand.

And these elements, in [Lord Era], are uniformly defined as "Epoch Buildings".

Each race and each civilization has different Epoch Buildings at different stages.

For example, if the Gnome race wants to enter the Steam Age from the initial Enlightenment Age, they must have an Epoch Building called [Grand Academy of Sciences].

The Goblins, who are similar to them, need an Epoch Building called [Engineering Academy].

In addition, many races have different development paths, and therefore different kinds of Epoch Buildings can be born within the same race.

For example, the human race used by Su Yingxue, who believes in the power of magic and holy light, can simultaneously build two Epoch Buildings: [Magic Council] and [Radiant Temple].

And when a lord unlocks an Epoch Building, he can not only further upgrade his territory and the building levels within the territory, but also allow the warriors under his command to unlock higher racial strength limits!

Even more exaggerated is that some races' Epoch Buildings themselves have extremely strong offensive or strengthening effects.

For example, the [Tower of the Dead], which allows the undead race to enter a new era, can directly give all the undead under the Death Lord additional strengthening effects.

Its strengthening effect can even exceed its own plane!

But it has to be said that the cost of each Epoch Building is very expensive for the lords of the current era.

Moreover, the construction process of Epoch Buildings is also easily damaged.

Therefore, most lords basically choose to build Epoch Buildings after the situation is stable and there is no threat in the surrounding environment.

But the Endless Abyss is a bit different.

The Epoch Building she gives to Wu Wei is only one type, and it can be built without limit.

That is [Seed of the Abyss]!

And more importantly, the construction effect of the Endless Abyss's Epoch Building is not to allow the demons to enter the next era.

Because demons, along with the Endless Abyss, have no so-called era.

The Epoch Building called Seed of the Abyss only allows all demons to obtain a random bloodline evolution.

And the price to build her is the entire Trial Continent!

When Wu Wei builds the Seed of the Abyss, the entire Trial Continent will begin to enter a state of chronic death.

Unless the Seed of the Abyss is shattered, the entire Trial Continent, along with all the resources on the Trial Continent, will be dragged into the Endless Abyss and become a part of her!

"Seed of the Abyss, construction begins!"

Looking at the black sun in the sky, Wu Wei achieved his goal.

He will lead the entire continent to the era of the abyss!
