Chapter 224 -217: Mother Is Really a Genius! (Vote of the Month Requested)
High above Blue Star, Fang You entered Lightless mode and strode across the void.
The pupils of his eyes were filled with strands of Youyou’s radiance, as his Mysterious Evil tracking skill, having reached its pinnacle, unfolded toward the distant horizon.
The dark curtain enshrouded the firmament of Blue Star, and the breath of defilement surged like the tide, continuously churning.
At the far end of the sky, one could faintly discern a boundless, indescribable world that was slowly approaching.
Against the Ghastly Realm, the vast Blue Star was like a mere droplet in the ocean, insignificant.
This was an unstoppable trend.
“The erosion is speeding up again.”
“At this rate, it won’t be long before the third phase—the Tide of Gray Mist—begins. The Mysterious will descend upon Blue Star in full, and the entire environment of Blue Star will start to mutate. Put simply, the whole world will become a contaminated zone.”
According to Yi Yue Luxi’s words, and his earlier estimates, Blue Star should have entered the third phase of Ghastly Realm’s erosion in a year or two.
But after the battle against the Blood Emperor’s incarnation, the pace of erosion suddenly accelerated.
“Did that battle make Blue Star’s world barriers even more fragile?”
“Or perhaps, the Blood Emperor is exerting force behind the scenes, pushing the process of erosion forward.”
Fang You felt it was both.
He arrived at Oulu Continent, looking toward the Broken Grounds, where many were still ‘scavenging’. High above that region, one could vaguely see a gigantic void from which grey mist seeped out continuously. Below, the area, broken and fragmented, also occasionally spawned several Mysterious Evils.
On the detection map, this region was marked as a ‘high-level contaminated zone’, the area on Blue Star most severely affected by the erosion.
“At this rate, in at most a month or two, Blue Star will face the Tide of Gray Mist. By then, the Mysterious Evils infiltrating Blue Star could be several times, even tens of times greater than now, and Calamity Level Mysterious Evils will no longer be few and far between.”
“The entire Blue Star will truly enter the end times, with no order left to speak of.”
Yi Yue Luxi had described before.
In the second phase, when the minions of the Evil God started to appear and form Heretical Cults, most worlds had already begun to lose their order.
When the third phase, the Tide of Gray Mist, emerged, human survivors could only struggle to survive under the leadership of a few Awakeners. Perhaps some churches protected by the Evil God might have better days.
Usually in this stage, worlds afflicted by erosion were overrun by chaos with heavy casualties among humans, indicating the apocalypse.
And by the fourth phase, the ‘Devouring Stage’, region by region would be consumed, signaling the era of world destruction.
“The Tide of Gray Mist phase is arriving much faster than anticipated, but my Ming Deng is already preparing. It’s a huge challenge, yet not insurmountable.”
He planned to build base cities, safe zones.
The core of it all would be the Dawn Lighthouse.
Meanwhile, a series of Dawn Lighthouses would form the Great Wall of Blue Star against the encroachment of the Ghastly Realm! But there was a prerequisite: the Dawn Lighthouse had to be established in the right location—that location… he could not yet determine. He would have to wait for the appearance of the Tide of Gray Mist and judge based on its patterns.
As for the materials for the Dawn Lighthouse, they were already being sought after.
Fang You contemplated, and opened the game panel, casting his gaze towards An Jianyou, who was in the Ghastly Realm.
…
Ghastly Realm, Black Stone Tower.
An Jianyou, wearing a Strange Implement Storage Ring, had come here alone.
“You’re finally here… But why are you alone?”
“The instructor is busy, so he entrusted me with coming here. And I’ve brought plenty of our Blue Star’s delicacies~”
An Jianyou jiggled his ring.
To him, this was another Strange Implement for storage; the world of Blue Star was really well-off.
Yi Yue Luxi clicked her tongue in amazement.
Being well-off was virtually equivalent to being powerful. The richer Blue Star was, the happier she would be, as she still expected to make a fortune from them.
Well, so far, she had only been taken advantage of.
But she had a plan now, to make money today!
“In the recent times… about six or seven days ago, did something happen on your Blue Star?”
“There was a Heretical Cult rite… a ritual.”
An Jianyou blurted out, then hastily slammed on the brakes mid-sentence.
But with those few words, Yi Yue Luxi instantly understood.
It must have been the minions of the Evil God setting up a ritual on Blue Star, attempting to call upon some hidden existence to cast down its gaze.
Looking at the situation, people from Blue Star had stopped the ritual, but it was quite dangerous.
Do you know that if that dreadful mythological being had put forth a bit more effort, Blue Star might have been no more?
“It was very likely the gaze of a mythological being. I’m not sure whether to call you lucky or unfortunate.”
“We were quite shocked ourselves.”
An Jianyou put on his most practiced expressionless face.
Yet inside, he thought to himself that it was probably misfortune, considering the terrifying enemy that had descended upon Blue Star. But, to be confronted by a mythological being… Blue Star had indeed withstood even such a formidable adversary. Surely, the instructor must be a great mythological entity!
The instructor is truly amazing!
They say mythological beings possess divine might as terrible as hellfire, but none of that was evident with the instructor… Was it because the instructor was so approachable?
It must be so!
Discarding his thoughts, An Jianyou spoke up, “This time, we want to know more about the situation in the Ghastly Realm, and also information about the Oasis powers. These pieces of news are for sale, right?”
“They are for sale.”
Sharing general information about the Oasis powers with Blue Star was no issue; it wasn’t exclusive to their Black Stone League. With the capabilities of a few powerful individuals from Blue Star, encountering other Oasis powers was just a matter of time.
Better to sell them a favor.
She had high hopes for Blue Star. Given the performance and potential of these individuals from Blue Star, they could very possibly become a major power in the Great Oasis.
If they couldn’t find an unclaimed Oasis, well… that would be even better. She could invite them to join the Black Stone League, making them one of their own.
Her plan was set!
Well, favors need to be sold, and money also needs to be made.
“Food in one hand, intelligence in the other.”
“Mmhm~!”
An Jianyou instantly became a gourmet, introducing each and every delicacy, full of color, aroma, and taste, that emerged from the Storage Ring.
Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine.
Things that fly in the sky, crawl on the ground, swim in the water.
Compared to the last rushed occasion, the feast presented this time was even more dazzling. As An Jianyou introduced them, she herself felt a bit hungry.
But she still listened earnestly, perking up her ears to the intelligence from Miss Yi Xuan Luxi.
Yi Xuan Luxi put away the whole table of food.
She was also a bit tempted, but she restrained herself. She couldn’t, as she did last time, sweep away the delicacies in an unladylike manner.
These delicacies had a great use for her. They were part of her, Yi Xuan Luxi’s, Tower Master’s money-making plan.
Besides, this body was just an incarnation. Although the tastes could be shared with her true body, she still felt it was a waste.
“Ahem!”
“The Ghastly Realm has always been said to have shallow, deep, and even deeper layers. I can’t say how vast the Ghastly Realm is, but as far as the Black Rock Alliance’s territory goes, there are probably dozens or hundreds of Oases around.”
By “around”, she meant the exploration range of the Black Rock Oasis.
A vast expanse of territory.
“However, most of these Oases are small ones that are barely surviving in the Ghastly Realm. I didn’t bother to memorize those small Oases, so let’s talk about the large ones.”
“Our Black Rock Alliance is a Great Oasis, and quite a strong one at that.”
She proudly puffed out her chest, “Besides, there are the City of Fallen Stars, Holy Serpent Society, Oasis of Blazing Flames, City of Sword Flowers, and the City-States of Waves, among others.”
“These Great Oases all have the ability to explore the Ghastly Realm and carry out activities in dangerous areas. So, when you are exploring the Shallow Mystical Realm, you might encounter people from these Great Oases but…”
Her mouth curved into a light smirk, “But these Oases might not be as friendly as our Black Rock Alliance~”
Right! The best trading partner was only their Black Rock Alliance.
Mhm-hm~!
…
Ghastly Realm, deep layer, an area where the gray mist is sparse.
A silver-haired woman opened her eyes, a flash of light passing through them.
If An Jianyou were here, she would realize that this woman looked not just similar, but identical to Yi Xuan Luxi.
That’s right, she was the real Yi Xuan Luxi.
Tower Master of the Seventh High Tower of the Black Rock Alliance.
She wore a silver cloak and walked slowly with her straight, slender legs to the window ledge of the high tower. From here, she could overlook most of the Black Rock Oasis.
The buildings of the Oasis were primarily in shades of black and gray. Around the Seventh High Tower where she was stationed, there was still some space between the buildings. But farther away, the clusters of black buildings seemed to merge into one.
Even though the buildings were neither crude nor simple, they still imposed a sense of oppression.
The passersby underneath the buildings were like worker ants, threading through the narrow alleys.
Compared to ordinary people, the living environment of the Oasis nobility was much more comfortable, and Yi Xuan Luxi, as a noble at the pinnacle and a Tower Master, had a significant amount of land around her high tower.
There were green plants and even a small pond.
Yi Xuan Luxi followed her routine to her own plantation, where she grew several mysterious crops, among which the most important was called the Breadfruit Tree, one of the most crucial food sources for the Black Rock Oasis — a staple for the nobility.
A single second-tier Breadfruit Tree could produce bread fruits rich in nutrients; for a powerhouse like her, eating only five or six of these was enough for a meal.
If it were a third-tier bread fruit, then one would be sufficient.
These weren’t just staples but also vital strategic resources.
Yet the taste of the bread fruits was actually quite ordinary, and couldn’t provide variety. At this thought…
Yi Xuan Luxi savored the memory.
“The things from the Blue Star World might not be filling, but they really are super delicious! Many of which I’ve never seen before!”
She summoned her attendant.
“Has the merchant from the City of Fallen Stars arrived?”
“They’ve arrived, Tower Master,” the attendant Xiao Xi answered, pausing before adding, “Can these foods really be traded for resources?”
After all, they were not abundant, nor could they enhance one’s strength.

Yi Xuan Luxi asked, “Do you think they taste good?”
The attendant Xiao Xi licked her lips subconsciously, “They taste good.”
“Well, there you go.”
Yi Xuan Luxi said, “I like them a lot, other Tower Masters also like them, so why can’t people from other Oases like them too?”
“Sure, the grand environment of the Ghastly Realm is dangerous, and we’ve always focused on survival and increasing our strength, but if 99% of the money is spent on improving strength, can’t people enjoy using 1%?”
“Besides, not all powerhouses of the Oasis are ambitious. There are also those who crave enjoyment, and that is our business opportunity.”
A minor share of the total trade volume in the entire Great Oasis was substantial for her, and her goal was multiple Great Oases.
And what had she given up for these Blue Star delicacies?
She had merely provided some information.
Pure profit, no cost!
I’m a genius, hahaha——!
