Chapter 1504: Changes in Mindset
Fire Element Plane, Molten Altar.
In the center of the valley, a hazy and vibrating portal slowly opened, and Grimm returned here again.
Compared with the last time, the area around the lava lake has become much more lively and noisy.
In addition to Molten Core Giants, Cinder Web Spiders and Metal Magic Machines, there are many more flame creatures of various shapes, from low-level fire elements, flame spirits, and fire spirits to mid- and high-level flame giants, Molten Fire Giants, Lava Dogs, Lava Behemoths...
It can be said bluntly that the entire Molten Altar area has become a flame creature museum, where you can already see most of the native creatures of the Fire Element Plane.
Looking at the mother of the ember web spider, Lacbeth, who hurried over from the lava lake, Grimm frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "What's going on here? Why are there so many low-level creatures?"
Hearing Grimm's question, Lacbeth quickly lowered his body and explained in a strange and hoarse spiritual language: "My lord, these are the laborers I enslaved from the surrounding areas. I use them to speed up the construction of the witch tower." At this point, it also lowered its voice and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, you also know that this Molten Altar is a bit weird. Low-level creatures will disappear inexplicably if they stay here for a long time. So, if you don't catch more people, the number of laborers will not be able to keep up..."
"Disappeared?" Grimm was slightly stunned, and immediately recalled the strangeness of his first contact with the Molten Altar, and believed everything Lacbeth said.
"Immediately allocate some people to build an altar for me. I want to offer something as a sacrifice!"
"Altar? Please tell me, sir, what kind of fire altar do you need?"
"The highest standard... I need to communicate with the plane consciousness of the fire elemental plane this time!"
Hiss...
Lakebes immediately took a breath of cold air.
You know, for fire lords like them, the objects of sacrifice are usually the fire kings around the territory. As for communicating with the plane consciousness of the fire elemental plane, if there is no high-standard sacrifice, don't expect the plane consciousness to respond to your request.
Suddenly taking on this great task, even this veteran fire lord became restless and excited.
"Communicating with the plane consciousness... A fire altar of that standard is not easy to set up. I'm afraid that in various regions, only the fire kings have such a high-level world altar." Lakebes's furry spider face showed an embarrassment.
"You mean, we can't build it?"
"It's not that we can't build it, but it will take a long time, and we need to find the necessary resources everywhere... I estimate that it will take at least ten years to build it successfully!"
This time it was Grimm's turn to be surprised.
Until this moment, he realized that the time and values of the two worlds were almost completely different.
In the plane of fire elements, even those powerful fire lords, many of them never knew to hoard resources in advance. They can slowly improve their strength by sitting at home, so their desire for external resources has become less intense.
There is not much desire for resources, materials, or territory... In short, if you can't move, you're too lazy to move, stay in your nest all day, and accumulate strength bit by bit.
This is the way of survival that most fire creatures have etched into their souls!
There is really no pressure to survive, and there is no impulse and desire to evolve.
In the wizard world, trying to plunder resources and knowledge as much as possible, hoarding all the magic materials that may be needed in the future... This is the most common attitude and habit of human wizards.
There will never be an embarrassing situation where a 4th-level wizard cannot even build a world altar.
Ten years... Damn, ten years is too long. Who knows if these fragments of the godhead will cause some trouble in my hands. It is better to transform them into my real power as soon as possible.
Otherwise, go to Groms and get his world altar?
However, taking such a precious sacrifice to the private territory of another fire king... Even if Grimm doesn't believe that the other party will be so petty, he can't make such a risky move.
Seeing that Grimm looked unhappy, Lacbeth couldn't help but stretch out a furry front leg and pointed at the lava lake in the distance, with a strange expression on his face: "My Lord, isn't there a world altar over there? Why do we have to build one ourselves?"
Grimm was suddenly startled, turned around, and stared blankly at the dilapidated old altar standing quietly in front of the lava lake.
For some reason, when his eyes fell on the altar, a certain string in his heart seemed to be suddenly touched, and it trembled violently, making him feel a little emotional and unable to control himself.
"Lacbeth, notify Sok to withdraw all the flame creatures and magic machines from the Molten Altar... Clear the place for me immediately!"
Hearing Grimm's words that would not allow anyone to disobey, Lacbeth hurriedly leaned over and replied: "Yes, I'll do it right away!"
After all, this is a private territory under Grimm's rule. There will be no different voices of doubt and disobedience under a single order. It only took half a quarter of an hour for the huge construction site that was bustling with people just now to become completely silent, and there was no longer any movement around the entire Molten Altar.
Grimm's immense spiritual power slowly roamed around the Molten Altar, slowly but firmly sweeping over every piece of land and every inch of space here. From the sky to the ground, even the bottom of the lava lake was thoroughly scanned.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Grimm stretched out his hand and opened a flame door in the void. A moment later, the light clone that Grimm left in the wizard world walked out.
"Have you figured out how to deal with this fragment of the godhead?" The light clone asked curiously.
"I've figured it out!" Grimm and it just looked at each other, and their thoughts were instantly synchronized. Each other's experiences and changes over the past few decades were clear in their minds.
Horton School of Witchcraft has grown larger than before...
Wizard Amway of the Wizard Association has successfully advanced to level 5 and gone to the outer domain...
Wizard Nicholas in the central part fell into the underground in the battle with the underground world, and his life or death is unknown...
Insect wizard Bilis in the family successfully advanced to level 4 and became the core combat force of the family...
Many people in the family have advanced to level 3, and the power of the middle level is still growing steadily...
The family elder, the goblin Kirby, failed in the latest life extension ceremony and is about to die...
The goblin plane proposed a construction plan for the magic energy titan and is applying for family resources...
North On the ground side, the Ice Girl, the Raging Witch, and Lucia beside Alice all advanced to the third level...
...
...
Grimm took the fragment of the Fire Godhead handed over by the Light Clone, and threw a few strands of divinity to the other party, and then whispered: "Give this to Mary! With these divinities, she will be very useful in improving her agility or strengthening her vampire abilities... Also tell her that she can come to meet me after my witch tower is built!"
The Light Clone smiled, took the divinity into his body, turned around and returned to the wizard world through the flame gate.
After the Light Clone left, Grimm couldn't help but sigh secretly.
It has only been a few decades since he left the wizard world, but in his heart it seems that he has left for a whole century. All the changes that happened there, even if they were related to his disciples and relatives, were like listening to a strange story to him, with an indescribable sense of alienation.
The process of pursuing power made him stride forward, but he also unknowingly left so many companions behind. The memories of the past are still there, and everything that has happened is still vivid, but the emotions and humanity attached to the memories have been blurred and faded with the transformation of their own forms...
The overly rational and realistic mind has made him disdain to use illusory, short-lived love and family affection to intoxicate his soul in addition to eliminating the hypocrisy and self-deception in human nature!
Traveling around the world, exploring endless planes, and looking for the secrets behind the world... This simple and real idea gradually floated in his mind and became the ideal he has been thinking about most in this period of time.
Before he was promoted to the fifth level, the pressure of survival forced Grimm to keep moving forward. All his efforts were to struggle for survival, for himself and for his family, and to run forward as much as he could...
After being promoted to the fifth level, his life dimension suddenly stretched to ten thousand years, and the regularization of his body and soul also caused some subtle changes in his thoughts and consciousness.
The pressure of survival is not that great anymore... Even though there is the great witch Misa inside, the God of Wisdom and the God of Fire outside, and now there is another God of Hunting eyeing him covetously, Grimm still lives freely and happily.
If the opponent is pressing too hard, the Iron City in the Exodar camp outside the domain can also be abandoned. Grimm retreated to the Fire Elemental Plane, which would not allow large-scale invasions of outsiders. Those enemies who want to trouble Grimm can only sneak in in person and look for his traces everywhere in the Fire Elemental Plane like looking for a needle in a haystack.
If it is not safe here either, Grimm would not even mind throwing away everything and wandering in the outer star sea.
Anyway, with his ability, he can go everywhere and go everywhere. It is not so easy for the opponent to force him to death!
Moreover, he is alone and has nothing to worry about. Naturally, he will not stay and fight the enemy for a mere territory. It is this relaxed mentality of being able to attack or defend that has created Grimm's current free spirit.
Now he is suddenly full of curiosity about the world, and has an urge to travel thousands of miles to slowly comprehend and experience the mysteries and magic of the world!
