“In the past two months, the number of forces that have shown goodwill to us, both openly and covertly, has increased significantly.”

“Not only the wizarding forces, but also many non-wizarding civilized races are actively contacting us.”

“Thanks to this, Star Alliance’s business has been getting better and better recently.”

“Whether it’s selling magic stones or purchasing materials, it’s going much smoother than before.”

In the study, Liz’s pleasant voice echoed, with an irrepressible smile of joy on her face.

Ever since the news of the construction of the floating city came out, the situation of the Star Alliance has changed drastically.

Many forces gathered around like hungry wolves smelling meat, wanting to make friends with this young force that was rising like a new star and had unlimited potential, vividly demonstrating what power is and what is truth.

Su Nan smiled slightly, not surprised by the result at all, and asked after a moment of hesitation:

“Where is the Codex of Wisdom?”

Liz’s smile deepened as she said, “I just talked to the messenger of the Wisdom Code. From now on, they will open up more exchangeable resources to us, and the price will be lower. In addition, there will be a series of other cooperation.”

“Now we can say that we are completely separate from other affiliated organizations of Wisdom Code. Rather than being affiliated organizations, we are more like strategic partners.”

Su Nan nodded slightly: “There are still discerning people in the Wisdom Society.”

With the current strength of the Star Alliance, it no longer needs the protection of the Code of Wisdom.

The resources that the Code of Wisdom opens to affiliated organizations for exchange are no longer as attractive to the Star Alliance as before.

After years of development and accumulation, the Star Alliance already has many other channels to obtain or trade resources.

If the Code of Wisdom still treats the Covenant as a subsidiary organization, then he will consider leaving the Code of Wisdom next.

However, it is clear that the Wisdom Society is not so short-sighted. It immediately showed goodwill to the Star Alliance and directly elevated the Star Alliance to an equal level of partners.

In this way, the two sides are actually equivalent to forming an alliance.

And it is a closer relationship than the general alliance.

Whether it is for the Code of Wisdom or the Star Alliance, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

“The Code of Wisdom has also placed a large order for magic stones with us, accounting for about one-tenth of our annual output.” Liz said later.

The amount of magic stones sold by the Star Alliance every year is a staggering number. Even one-tenth of the output is still a huge business.

Su Nan didn’t hesitate and said directly: “Promise them.”

It doesn’t matter who you sell the magic stone to.
Giving the Code of Wisdom can also consolidate the relationship between the two parties.

In fact, as the Star Alliance opened up and controlled more and more planes, the secondary magic stone veins under its jurisdiction were also growing at an alarming rate. After all, a considerable number of planes were only worthy of opening up secondary magic stone veins.

Therefore, the amount of magic stones sold by the Star Alliance to the outside world is gradually increasing every year.

If it weren’t for the fact that Sunan had to do the synthesis of magic stones, and considering that too many magic stones would flow into the market, which would lower the price of magic stones, the Star Alliance’s annual production of magic stones could have increased by several levels.

“The Star Alliance has become much stronger now, but there is still a clear gap between us and the large wizard forces. We should not increase the output of magic stones too much at the moment, so as to avoid the covetousness of those large wizard forces.”

Su Nan pondered secretly.

The profits from the magic stone trading are currently sufficient to support the continued rapid development of the Star Alliance, and there is no need to rush into anything.

“Has anything else of note happened recently?”

After talking about business, Sunan asked the usual questions.

It was just a casual question, but Liz’s answer made him slightly stunned.

“Nothing major, but there is one interesting thing.” Liz smiled as if she suddenly remembered something. “When the Dark Throne was exploring a plane a while ago, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of insect beasts, and the exploration team was wiped out.”

There was an undisguised hint of gloating in Liz’s tone.

After all, the Dark Throne and the Star Alliance had a grudge against each other, so she was very happy to hear that the Dark Throne had suffered a setback.

Su Nan’s expression changed when he heard this.

“Insect beast? What insect beast?”

“I don’t know the details, but they are probably not ordinary Zerg.” Liz shook her head. “According to the information I got, the plane exploration team of the Dark Throne is quite powerful. They are led by three third-level wizards, including a descendant of a true spirit!”

“They were able to annihilate such a powerful team. This shows how powerful those insect beasts are. Currently, no known insect race has such amazing combat power. I am very curious about where they came from.”

Su Nan’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately understood.

The ones who annihilated the Dark Throne exploration team were most likely the ancient Zerg.

The Ancient Zerg are a race of alien insects from the Ancient Zerg plane community. They are extremely aggressive and destructive, often invading other planes, bringing death and destruction.

It’s just that this race used to wreak havoc on some separate planes in remote areas of the multiverse, so neither wizards nor gods noticed this race.

It was not until later that the ancient Zerg suddenly went crazy and attacked many planes, even the territories of wizards and gods were not spared, which attracted the attention of many forces in the multiverse.

In Sunan’s memory, this war started by the ancient insect race spread across most of the multiverse and was later called the Ancient Insect Disaster.

As for the final outcome of the war, he had no way of knowing.

Until he traveled through time, the ancient insect disaster showed no signs of ending, and the war against the ancient insects was still in full swing.

Although the ancient Zerg are not well-known, they are able to make wizards and gods overwhelmed and unable to deal with them, which shows how powerful the ancient Zerg are.

Unfortunately, Sunan only remembered the ancient insect disaster but could not remember the exact time when it occurred.

I didn’t expect that there would be signs at this time.

“what happened?”

Seeing that Sunan’s expression suddenly became very serious, Liz couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

Sunan said solemnly: “The insect beasts that attacked the Dark Throne exploration team are a dangerous race called the Ancient Insect Tribe.”

Liz was stunned: “Do you recognize those insect beasts?”

Su Nan did not hide anything and gave a general overview of the information about the ancient Zerg.

After hearing this, Liz was a little bit unbelievable.

The Zerg that even wizards and gods have difficulty fighting against?

If such a race really exists, why didn’t wizards and gods notice it before?
What Sunan said was really unbelievable.

If it weren’t for Sunan’s impressive past performance, Liz’s first reaction would have been that he was talking nonsense.

Sunan noticed the change in Liz’s expression but didn’t care.

He could understand Liz’s reaction.

Until the ancient insect disaster broke out completely, no one would have expected that these insects could bring such a terrible disaster.

Before this, wizards and gods had always been at the top of the multiverse’s food chain.

No one expected that a group of bugs could almost bring these two large groups down.

“The ancient insects that attacked the Dark Throne exploration team are just the vanguard. It will take some time before the ancient insects launch a large-scale invasion. Before that, we must be prepared, stockpile enough war materials, and increase our military strength as much as possible.”

Sunan said solemnly. Lizhe hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

From the past, Su Nan’s judgment has never been wrong, so even if she still has doubts in her heart, she still chooses to believe in Su Nan’s judgment at this time.

Seeing this, Sunan didn’t explain much, the future would prove everything he said.

The ancient insect plague was a huge disaster, but it also contained opportunities.

If the Alliance had made preparations early, it might have been possible for it to use this disaster to move forward.

War has always been the strongest driving force for the rapid development and growth of power.

After coming out of the study, Su Nan returned to the top floor of the central crystal tower.

After the floating city was built, he only rested for a few days and then immediately started to strengthen it.

According to his plan, there are quite a few core facilities in the floating city that need to be strengthened.

Including floating devices, maze defense systems, super-large energy protection barriers, various turrets including magic crystal superconducting pulse cannons, and magic mechas.

It takes a long time to complete the reinforcement plan.

What Sunan is currently strengthening is the maze defense system.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to upgrade and expand the floating city, upgrading it to a medium or even large one, but upgrading the floating city is an extremely long process that requires massive resources.

For a large wizarding force with a profound foundation, it would take tens of thousands of years to upgrade the floating city.

The main reason is that the upgrade of core facilities requires a large amount of rare materials, and the collection and accumulation of materials alone is a long process.

As far as Sunan knows, among the current large-scale wizard forces, only the Deep Blue Alliance, which has the longest heritage, owns a large floating city, which is also the only large floating city in the entire multiverse.

The floating cities owned by other wizard forces are all medium and small in size.

As for the super-large floating city known as the Astral Fortress, it only appeared in the ancient times several epochs ago, but it was destroyed in a long war.

So far, no wizard force has been able to recreate the glory of that time and build a new super-large floating city.

Compared to the long time required to upgrade the floating city, strengthening the floating city will undoubtedly immediately improve the combat effectiveness of the Star Alliance and prepare for the upcoming ancient insect disaster.

“Once we have completed the upgrade and reinforcement of the floating city, we should also start working on the demiplane.”

The concentration of energy particles in ordinary planes is far from meeting Sunan’s needs.

Even the environment of the floating city can only make Sunan slightly more comfortable, and it is still far from reaching the conditions of the realm of truth.

Therefore, many true spirit wizards will open up a demiplane with a high concentration of energy particles as their daily resting place.

In addition, the demiplane is also the key for the true spirit wizard to break through to a higher level.

The larger and more complete the opened up demiplane is, the higher the chance of breaking through to a higher level in the future.

Of course, Sunan is still a long way from breaking through to a higher level, which is something only a sixth-level True Spirit Wizard needs to consider.

Furthermore, the difficulty of opening up a demiplane is no less than that of building a floating city, and the resources invested are also astronomical.

Before the floating city is upgraded and strengthened, the Star Alliance will not have the spare energy to carry out the demiplane development plan.

The realm of truth.

As soon as he entered the Wizard Town, Sunan received a message from Maisha and immediately rushed to the gathering place.

Maisha, Morik and Ortiz were already waiting there.

“Congratulations, Sunan.”

As soon as they met, Mai Yisha sent her congratulations.

Morik and Ortiz then smiled and congratulated him, with more enthusiasm and even respect than before.

Today, Sunan’s status is above them all, and is not much inferior to Mai Yisha, a great scholar of the Code of Wisdom.

After some pleasantries, the four of them quickly got down to business.

“Recently, several temporary law nodes have appeared in the buffer zone near the wizard town, and the searchable area has been reduced a little.”

Maisha reached out her hand and touched it, and a map of the Realm of Truth immediately appeared in the void.

The areas in the buffer zone where temporary rule nodes may appear are marked in green above.

In the buffer zone near the wizard town, only about two-thirds of the searchable area remains.

“I suggest that we search the area first.”

Maisha pointed to the green area on the map.

“If there is no harvest, search in the direction of the area occupied by the gods.”

Su Nan and the other two all nodded.

In fact, this is not the first time they have done this.

They had tried to search further in the direction of the forest area occupied by the gods before, but to no avail.

But in any case, the probability of finding the rule node by doing this is ultimately greater.

But the risk of conflict with the gods is also greater.

The four people present had already made sufficient mental preparations.

“That’s decided then, we’ll set off now.”

Without delay, the four of them immediately left the wizard town and went deep into the buffer zone.

Not long after they left, four figures also walked out of the wizard town quietly.

“When do we start?” one of them asked.

If there is someone familiar with the Dark Throne here, he will be surprised to find that the four people here are actually the Crown Wizards of the Dark Throne.

Since the end of the Wizarding Civil War, the Dark Throne has never deployed all four Crown Wizards at the same time.

If someone saw this scene, they would be shocked.

“No rush.” ​​Jude said expressionlessly, “Let’s follow them first. When they encounter a battle and consume most of their strength, we will take action.”

Although Jude was confident that with the strength of his own four people, he could definitely kill Sunan and others.

But the target is four true spirit wizards after all, including Maisha, a difficult target who has comprehended the law of life. Even if they can win in a head-on confrontation, they will have to pay a heavy price.

It would be better to follow secretly, wait for the target to reveal a flaw, and then attack boldly. This is undoubtedly safer.

The other three crown wizards looked at each other and agreed to Jude’s proposal.

“Okay, let’s follow them, and be careful not to be noticed by the other party.”

The four of them quickly followed in the direction that Su Nan and the others had left. (End of this chapter)
