Chapter 1473 Zhou Wens Decision
In a corner of the cemetery, there was a wild pear tree. It hadnt been long since the fruiting season, but now, it was beginning to bloom again. Furthermore, it didnt take long before fruits began to fall.
The various vegetation in the cemetery grew crazily. The originally short weeds had grown to the height of a person. The entire cemetery was covered in green.
Not long after, pears grew on the wild pear tree. It took only slightly more than half an hour. At the speed the pears grew, they would completely ripen in less than an hour.
Zhou Wen waited for a while and indeed, he saw the pear ripen. It looked plump and juicy. He reached out and plucked one and took a bite. Immediately, his mouth was filled with sweetness as though he had drunk honey.
Its so sweet! Zhou Wen was pleasantly surprised.
He was delighted that the Sovereign Sui statue had such might, allowing vegetation to grow rapidly. If they could occupy this place, they wouldnt have to worry about food in the future. They would be self-sufficient and no one could besiege the people in here. It was the best place to build a base.
What was surprising was that this power wasnt only effective against plants. If humans were also affected by this power, then what humans welcomed wasnt rapid growth, but rapid aging.
Zhou Wen didnt know how many times a pear tree bore fruit a year. Even if it happened twice a year, it was very likely that half a year had pa.s.sed in less than an hour.
If humans experienced time with similar ratios, how long could they last?
This was only Zhou Wens guess. Perhaps the power of Sovereign Suis statue didnt make animals age, but it was better to be safe than sorry.
Furthermore, there wasnt a single dimensional creature or animal in Sovereign Suis Tomb. This didnt seem to be a coincidence. According to these points of suspicion, the power of Sovereign Suis statue might very well have an effect on animals. Therefore, no dimensional creature dared to stay in Sovereign Suis Tomb. Or rather, those dimensional creatures had already died due to the influence of the statue.
What was even more terrifying was that this power wasnt as simple as a temporal power. If time was accelerated, Zhou Wen would definitely be able to sense it. However, other than sensing the blazing vitality emitted by the torch, he couldnt sense any negative energy.
After being affected by the power of blessings, Zhou Wen knew that the most terrifying power in the world wasnt necessarily the ferocious and vicious ones.
Instead, some seemingly beneficial powers were likely terrifying murderers hidden in the shadows.
Chick, put out the fire, Zhou Wen shouted at Chick who had landed on the top of Sovereign Suis statue. He didnt dare take the risk. If the accelerating power was equally effective on him, wouldnt he quickly become an old man?
When Chick heard Zhou Wen, it opened its mouth and sucked at the flames. The flames on the torch immediately transformed into a thin pillar that charged into Chicks mouth like a fountain.
Moments later, all the flames were devoured by Chick. The torch in the hand of the Sovereign Sui statue stopped burning, and the plants in the cemetery stopped growing crazily. Zhou Wen waited for a while and was pleasantly surprised when he saw that nothing abnormal had happened to the plants. They just stopped growing rapidly. Such accelerated ripening would usually result in a rapid decline after losing the energy supply.
The plants didnt show any signs of withering. This meant that they hadnt been excessively drained of their vitality, and was undoubtedly good news.
Zhou Wen left Sovereign Suis Tomb, grabbed some wild animals, and sent them inside before getting Chick to light the torch.
Zhou Wen didnt dare stay in Sovereign Suis Tomb. He left with Chick and planned on returning in a few days to take a look. If the animals died of old age, it would mean that Sovereign Suis Tomb wasnt suitable as a human base.
Of course, even if it couldnt be used as a human base, the power of Sovereign Suis Tomb was still very useful. Zhou Wen already planned on staying in Guide City. Regardless, he had to have Sovereign Suis Tomb under his control.
After returning to the Sunset Armys temporary command post and meeting An Sheng, Zhou Wen told him about his wish to stay in Guide City.
Young Master, with your strength, its not a problem for you to stay anywhere. However, have you ever thought that if you were the only one, whats the difference between staying or not? You are just one person, so even if you stay here, Guide City doesnt belong to you, An Sheng said. Zhou Wen understood what An Sheng meant. If no one else worked for him and defended the plundering of the resources from the area, it didnt matter if he stayed or not. Even if he didnt stay, he could come over anytime he needed in the future. There was no point in staying here. I want to establish a human city here. Zhou Wen had already thought it through. There was the stone saber here that even The Thearch coveted. There was the humanoid monster, Sovereign Suis Tomb, b.u.t.terfly Valley, and other dimensional zones. He didnt know how many dimensional zones had yet to be explored.
It was undoubtedly most suitable to establish a human city here.
It might be a little difficult in the beginning, but the value would increase with time. If it were only Zhou Wen himself, he had no intention of establis.h.i.+ng a human city that belonged to him. However, the three conditions mentioned by the humanoid monster werent something he could complete alone. This required the efforts of many humans.
Zhou Wen only had the thought of establis.h.i.+ng a city after leaving Ancient City.
Its not difficult to build houses, but to truly make those houses a city needs people. With Guide Citys present dire environment, how many people will be willing to stay here? An Sheng persuaded.
I know itll be very difficult, but I still want to give it a try, Zhou Wen said.
Upon hearing Zhou Wens words, An Sheng smiled and said, Young Master, since youve already decided, I wont say another word. Just tell me what resources you need and how many people you need. Ill do my best to help you obtain them.
Thanks, Ah Sheng. However, I wish to do it by myself to the greatest extent. Although Zhou Wen was very grateful, he still rejected An Sheng Alright, but you have to remember that we are family. No matter where you are, the people from Overseer Manor and I are always worth relying on. Dont shoulder burdens alone, An Sheng said seriously.
Dont worry. If I cant do it, Ill definitely head to Luoyang to freeload. If theres really a need, I wont stand on ceremony with you and Sis Lan, Zhou Wen said with a smile.
An Sheng laughed out loud. Young Master Wen, how long are you going to keep up your spite with Overseer?
You have to ask An Tianzuo that. Im very easygoing. I never get into trouble with anyone, nor have I ever taken that particular person to heart, Zhou Wen said seriously.
An Sheng looked at Zhou Wen without a word, but his eyes seemed to have a hint of contempt, making Zhou Wen feel uncomfortable.
