Chapter 1939: Chapter 1933: The Deceased’s Emotions Are Stable

The battle ended quickly.

In fact, when the Silver Fortress descended from the sky and transformed the surrounding battlefields into its own Divine Realm, the outcome of the war was already determined.

The foreign invaders in a piece of the fallen zone couldn’t withstand Lu Ping’an’s main legion.

Due to the “battle merits” obtainable through slaughter, the courtyard legion, akin to war fanatics, even engaged in contests to seize enemies.

And those “high-level invaders” became even more coveted targets in the eyes of the demigods.

As Chris defeated the first target, the other strongmen were already splitting the combat targets… In a company that is constantly on the rise, naturally, all employees’ work enthusiasm was maxed out.

As targets were killed one by one, the battlefield also entered the closing phase.

This time, Lu Ping’an also witnessed the formidable strength of these “foreign invaders.”

“Not a single one escaped or surrendered…”

Those stone-men were truly fearless in the face of death; even as their comrades fell one by one, none of them retreated.

Even on a battlefield where victory was absolutely impossible, not a single deserter appeared.

“Is it because their intelligence is low?”

“No, intelligence shows that among them, the mid to high-level ones possess intelligence above that of ordinary people. The low-level stone-men are like newborn infants, relatively low in intelligence, but they do possess a certain degree of innate knowledge and discernment abilities, knowing that fighting like this would lead to their end.”

“Then why don’t they retreat?”

“They don’t have a concept of Death… to be precise, they don’t even have a concept of Life; they are purely physical properties of the crystalline form.”

Would rocks know they are about to face Death? Even if they did, what would they do?

Upon hearing that, Lu Ping’an furrowed his brows; this undoubtedly meant a rather troubling reality, these opponents were truly Undying Bodies.

Based on intelligence feedback, their self-cognition was merely a crystalline pileup, the death of a single entity was not significant.

“Accelerate the actions of the biological research department… have Eve and Fei’er involved, oh, and have the craftsman department join in, I need a comprehensive report on this ethnic group.”

Lu Ping’an actually found this life form somewhat intriguing; he hoped to use it to strengthen his “Metal Man Descendents,” guiding Hua Xueyi and others onto a unique path of evolution, opening a new avenue for the Family Clan.

Thus, he needed to get the “answers” quickly, exploring this potential.

“Is the Exploration Team dispatched?”

“They’ve already gone, searching the border areas of this plot for possible ruins and treasures.”

“Ugh, why not directly head to the core area of the ancient battlefield? Haven’t we already found the diagrams?”

“The core area of the ancient battlefield is beneath us… there’s no hurry in taking what’s carryable, need to first digest what can’t be carried away, the Exploration Team will prioritize searching the edge area of the plot.”

Lu Ping’an quickly received a report, and he felt quite subtle about it.

Not only did his courtyard gain several hundred ancient tombs, it also sprawled into a maze downwards by several kilometers.

“It seems, even during the flight, my warriors have found a place to pass the time.”

The courtyard had already expanded from its original compactness to reach the level of a “nation,” and Lu Ping’an’s control inevitably diminished.

Even the plot dragged away by courtyard fusion still needed the warriors to conduct on-site inspections.

At this point, the courtyard was already a complete “continent,” with mountains, rivers, plains, including fortresses and military camps, factories; now with an additional large maze, basically nothing changes, but for the surplus combat power, it became a practice area.

And naturally, treasures within would be taken away…

“Even if fully excavated, it could be preserved to train newcomers… also could be used to tame Magical Beasts and the like.”

The courtyard was increasingly transforming into the Land of Life, also naturally possessing numerous traits and terrains, suitable to accommodate more species and Life forms.

In reality, Chris, Eve, Little Flame were already cultivating “Demon Nest” within, just as Lu Ping’an possessed the Dragon descendants as a direct Family Clan, these demigods were cultivating their own family clans and beast swarms.

And Lu Ping’an’s “Life (species) Transformation” ability was destined to make it a gathering place for multiple species and races.

Whether it would turn into the area infested with the most severe racial discrimination, or become the region with almost zero inter-ethnic divergences, depended on how Lu Ping’an managed it.

And now, the war had concluded.

The scattered foreign invaders on this plot, faced with the fervent state activated by Lu Ping’an’s Eternal Life force, were simply incapable of resisting.

Post-battle, those fellow fallen transformed into blazing life, resuscitating once more, greatly boosting morale.

Of course, the Life Maintenance cost for Regenerators also spread….

“Any objections?”

“A portion of people have some objections… but the majority, at least ninety-five percent of the warriors, recognize it. Or rather, with such a small price, they’ve been quite pleasantly surprised.”

A point a day seems not much… for warriors typically possessing several hundred points, this consumption was just a matter of paying attention to daily expenses, using less paid facilities in the courtyard.

But from another angle, three years of life needs a thousand points, that’s quite a hefty expense.

This pressure, once it reaches a certain level, would naturally push them to “evolve,” to earn more “Life Value.”

Seeing the “war dead” emotionally stable, Lu Ping’an nodded in satisfaction.

No one was foolish; under prolonged pressure they would quickly sort out their thoughts… this made them cherish Life, rather than becoming those actively jumping into trap bizarre undead.

The cleanup of the battlefield was left to professionals, while Lu Ping’an focused his attention on the new “Burning Warriors.”

This was the core operational mechanism for future courtyard warriors; he needed more feedback.

As intelligence indicated, most personnel had relatively stable emotions… before utterly running out of money, a point per day left many without sensation.

He also noted, a large number of Burning Warriors unhesitatingly transformed their species from energy-bodied to flesh-bodied.

And the newborn’s ability was distinctly weaker than before.

“Consumption is not low….”

It seems like bad news, but Lu Ping’an was already quite satisfied.

After all, only Death brings sufficient harm, even irreversible losses, so warriors would value their Lives, avoiding recklessness on the battlefield.

Lu Ping’an estimated that even as he grew stronger, this “attrition rate” would steadily decrease, yet never reach a completely intact level.

Nonetheless, the moment life met Death, even if the Soul was preserved, many things would still be torn apart, lost forever.

“The war dead are emotionally stable…..”

After confirming this good tidbit, it was time for the spoils of war from this battle.
