"Become the new Nathan?"

Lin Ke pondered this statement, then seemed to understand something. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The idea was to directly make Great Wilderness City form a new Main Plane?!

Main Plane?

Vast and boundless, with high levels of life, extremely powerful Main Plane?

Lin Ke was instantly moved.

Indeed, under Deep Blue Duke’s machinations, Great Wilderness City became an isolated island in the Star Realm, separate from Nathan.

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

Though not much now, in the future, Great Wilderness City’s space for growth could be infinitely extended.

"Hey, you kid, give you a piece of meat and you want to raise a dragon?" Andrew laughed and tapped Lin Ke’s head, as if knowing what Lin Ke was thinking.

This phrase is akin to giving a little dye and daring to open a dye house, giving a bit of water and it becomes a flooding sea.

Overambitious.

"But with your abilities, it’s indeed possible." Andrew pondered as he ascended: "You should visit more Subordinate Planes, maybe there’s a lot you need."

"Subordinate Planes?" Lin Ke nodded; he had never underestimated Subordinate Planes, as Faser had always surprised him.

"Look around, anything you need, just let me know." Andrew stroked his chin: "It’s my first time being a teacher, not too skilled, but I’ve seen a lot. Hmm, how do you think I should approach this?"

"Teacher, just having your title given to me, I’m already very satisfied." Lin Ke shook his head: "If I need anything, I can exchange it with you on equivalent terms."

He didn’t want to take advantage of Andrew; he always respected Saint Andrew deeply, for he was a sage of the Main Plane, akin to the collective entity of saints from a previous life.

"I’m your teacher, not your friend." Andrew tapped Lin Ke’s head again, glaring: "If you keep this up, I’ll disown you."

Seemed like an old child.

Lin Ke scratched his head: "Well... but I really don’t know..."

If others saw this, they’d likely spit blood, let alone blood—their divine essence might spew forth.

That’s Andrew, man!

If it were others, they’d probably rattled off a long list of desired items.

Yet Lin Ke genuinely didn’t want anything.

The crux was that he could strive for everything he wanted by himself, and there was nothing unattainable that required Andrew’s intervention.

If he had to say...

"Why not, we destroy the Holy Life Alliance?" Lin Ke suggested cautiously.

Andrew’s eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you crazy?"

"Alright, I’ve also been thinking about revenge on the Sun God and Ratman Emperor..." Lin Ke smiled awkwardly: "Then for now, no need Teacher, I feel I can strive for anything myself, but if I really need it, I’ll tell you?"

Andrew also felt that’s better, nodding: "Alright..."

As they talked, Andrew had already flown to the top. The sky here still had the shadow of the sun, but it was merely a projection; the real sun was over at Nathan.

Outside the sky of Great Wilderness City, the colorful chaotic streams of the Star Realm could be seen.

In the chaotic streams of the Star Realm, many Star Realm Void Beasts were eyeing Great Wilderness City hungrily.

Star Realm Void Beasts are different from Void Star Beasts.

Void Star Beasts are simply life forms that can survive in the Star Realm and the void.

These Void Star Beasts are mostly planar life forms inside the void, surviving in the Star Realm after the plane’s destruction.

There are intelligent beings, humanoid beings, but all are collectively referred to as Void Star Beasts by Nathan.

But Star Realm Void Beasts are different.

Star Realm Void Beasts are a kind of low-intelligence life, born out of chaotic streams in the Star Realm, with only one survival method: existing as "scavengers" within chaotic streams of the Star Realm.

They devour anything not wrapped by void, like items left after a plane’s destruction not assimilated by chaotic streams of the Star Realm.

In Lin Ke’s view, Star Realm Void Beasts are equivalent to scavengers, garbage disposals.

And since Star Realm Void Beasts were born from the Star Realm, they are treasures all over.

But in such places as Nathan, with Andrew around, not to mention Sleepless, there are no Star Realm Void Beasts present for quite a distance outside Nathan.

It’s unknown how Deep Blue Duke managed to bring Great Wilderness City to this "treasured land."

The current Great Wilderness City appeared like a large piece of fresh meat, floating in the forest surrounded by hungry wolves.

The Star Realm Void Beasts used to eat small bites of things, but seeing such a big "food," they all gathered in an instant.

They wanted to feast!

A massive feast!

However, at that moment, two insignificant figures appeared.

No Star Realm Void Beasts paid attention to those two figures because whether life or not, they viewed everything as food.

The two figures were Lin Ke and Andrew.

"So many." Andrew looked at the endless Star Realm Void Beasts, nodding with satisfaction, then said to Lin Ke, "How do you intend to handle this? I could kill them all, move Great Wilderness back, or hide it in place."

Slaughter the surrounding Star Realm Void Beasts.

Move Great Wilderness back to Nathan.

Hide Great Wilderness within the Star Realm.

No doubt, Andrew being Andrew, perhaps Deep Blue Duke had conspired for hundreds and thousands of years to extract Lava Swamp outside.

This method is undeniably powerful.

Yet this method, in Andrew’s eyes, is utterly trivial.

Easily unraveled.

Nevertheless, Andrew offered Lin Ke space for choices.

Because this act of Deep Blue Duke, for Great Wilderness City, was both a threat and an opportunity!

Three options...

"Teacher, perhaps we could do this..." Lin Ke’s eyes glimmered as he suggested: "We design a protective layer, then open several channels leading directly to Great Wilderness; over there, I’ll design several defense projects...to train soldiers!"

Yes, train soldiers!

These Star Realm Void Beasts come endlessly; defeating them yields materials—what great stuff!

Clear them out in one go, wouldn’t that scare off other Star Realm Void Beasts entirely?

Hiding Great Wilderness City or dragging it back to Nathan is the same.

What a waste of resources!

Have to say, Lin Ke had experienced the previous life’s resource world, clearly understanding resource utilization.

Unlike now, Nathan has Endless Planes waiting for development and fails to grasp the concept of "resource scarcity."

"Oh?" Andrew exclaimed in surprise: "[Capitalist]?"

"Well...not really, just reasonable utilization of resources." Lin Ke sweated profusely.

Andrew didn’t find the profession odd; seeing his approach align with [Capitalist]’s trait of extracting surplus value wasn’t surprising either.

Yet saying it like this felt strange.

"Alright, just as you wish." Andrew raised his hands high:

"Elemental Capture."
