Chapter 456: Chapter 183: Mortal Realm No.1 Missile Reserve Base

Otherwise, they would have to extend the Earth Gold Cables and build several secret Celestial Pillar bases deep within the Eternal Night Continent and along its various coastal regions.

This was to ensure the Mortal Realm’s bombardment range was large enough.

The only problem was that such bases would be vulnerable. After all, by spreading themselves so thin, it would be impossible to defend every location. Besides, no matter how much Earth Gold they had, it would never be enough for such a massive construction project.

...

"Put your backs into it!"

"One, two, PULL!"

"One, two, PULL!"

In a cleared-out section of the Jiangbei Wilderness, a newly forged Level 1 Celestial Pillar stood tall. Around this enormous pillar, which stretched several hundred meters into the sky, a total of seven Flying Ships hovered at various altitudes.

On each Flying Ship stood numerous members of the Mortal Battle Pavilion. All of them possessed Tenfold Body Tempering Martial King Cultivation. Right now, each one was gripping a rope, gritting their teeth and pulling with all their might.

These were no ordinary ropes.

They were Cables, a Max Level Building Chen Fan had just created. Their inherent Max Level Effect was extreme durability, and after receiving a Celestial Dao Blessing, the Celestial Dao Blessing Effect made them even tougher.

In fact, some whip-type Exotic Treasures weren’t as durable as these Cables.

And sure enough, they were bearing the weight of the several-hundred-meter-tall Celestial Pillar without any issue.

With the combined effort of the Martial Kings, the Celestial Pillar, which had been standing upright, began to slowly tilt, descending toward the ground at a controlled speed.

Behind the Celestial Pillar were three Giant Turtles, connected to it by Cables. These three Giant Turtles were pulling in the opposite direction, ensuring the pillar didn’t fall too quickly.

These were a type of Vehicle from the Vehicle Workshop. They were enormous, slow, and had an extremely high load capacity, making them excellent for assisting with large-scale engineering projects.

Meanwhile, beneath the Celestial Pillar, was an enlarged Mortal Realm High-speed Rail. A sufficiently large Suspended Basket, acting as a rail car, hovered steadily just above the ground.

The original Suspended Basket was enclosed on all four sides.

It offered protection from wind and rain.

The Suspended Basket below had obviously been modified. Most of it had been cut away, leaving only a flatbed base.

Soon—

Amidst a chorus of shouts, the Level 1 Celestial Pillar was lowered steadily onto the waiting Mortal Realm High-speed Rail, kicking up clouds of dust.

Their coordination was perfect.

The Mortal Realm Members stationed below, who were responsible for controlling the High-speed Rail, made minute adjustments just as the Celestial Pillar was about to land. They ensured that the Cables binding the pillar would fit perfectly into the grooves on the flatbed.

Then, with a slight pull from the members waiting on the sidelines, the Cables binding the Celestial Pillar were swiftly drawn out of the grooves.

Perfect.

Cheers erupted from the surrounding Mortal Realm Members. The people of this world had never experienced an era of great infrastructure. To them, smoothly and steadily placing a several-hundred-meter-tall Celestial Pillar onto the Mortal Realm High-speed Rail was a grand undertaking, almost a miracle.

"..."

Chen Fan, who had been leaning on his Jade Staff and watching the entire process from the sidelines, couldn’t help but smile.

The Celestial Pillar was a full several hundred meters tall.

Like a hundred-story skyscraper.

Just a bit shorter than Nameless Mountain.

’This really wasn’t a small project.’ He suddenly realized that even a White Level building could be incredibly useful, like the seemingly unremarkable Cable.

’A rope that was sturdy enough allowed them to do so much.’

On top of that, the Suspended Basket could now change size at will. It could become enormous, with its maximum size being just large enough to hold a single Celestial Pillar. Furthermore, thanks to the Celestial Dao Blessing Effect, the basket had become exceptionally sturdy, even capable of bearing the pillar’s immense weight.

A Celestial Pillar this massive was now lying on the Jiangbei Wilderness. The Mortal Realm Members walking beside it looked like miniature figures.

When looking up at it, you could tell the Celestial Pillar was tall, but it was hard to grasp its true scale. Only when the thing was laid horizontally across the Jiangbei Wilderness could one truly, intuitively comprehend what a behemoth it was!

But this wasn’t perfect yet.

’We still need to run a test.’

The next moment—

The Mortal Realm High-speed Rail began to race along its tracks, heading deep into the Jiangbei Wilderness. Its speed was incredible, basically no different than its usual pace.

「A few breaths later.」

Chen Fan selected the Dead Sea as the bombardment target.

The Celestial Pillar, laid horizontally on the speeding High-speed Rail, began to vibrate. Then, its outer casing started to crack and fall away, scattering across the Jiangbei Wilderness.

A smaller version of the Celestial Pillar, its tail spewing lightning, broke free from the casing. It ascended rapidly, leaving a sapphire-blue trail of flame as it shot straight toward the Dead Sea.

「A short while later.」

BOOM...

The faint sound of an explosion carried over from the Dead Sea.

The Mortal Realm Members crowded onto the surrounding Flying Ships to watch. Seeing this from high in the sky, they all began to clap and celebrate excitedly.

The cohesion of the Mortal Realm was among the strongest in the entire Eternal Night Continent.

The generous monthly salary was only one factor.

Another reason was that most members had been there for the Mortal Realm’s rise, step by step. Every member had contributed in some way and had experienced and witnessed so many incredible events together.

Their unity was a natural result.

Miracles are one of the easiest ways to forge unity. In the Mortal Realm, they had witnessed miracles and were hungry to witness even more.

...

"..."

Chen Fan broke into a smile, a truly happy one.

’Finally—’

’I came to this world five years ago. A strange world overrun by Ghost Objects and surrounded by powerful enemies. Starting with the first Ghost Fire and the first Arrow Tower, I built my base in Jiangbei, piece by piece.’

’In these five years...’
