CHAPTER 428: CHAPTER 350: THE MORE THE MERRIER (REQUEST FOR MONTHLY TICKET)

"You all stay here, I’ll go by myself."

To accommodate the feelings of the elves, Lette decided to go to the Central Lake alone.

After all, it’s their Holy Tree or Holy Mushroom. Even if the Elf Queen wants to worship, she must first consult the Life Goddess with the High Priest.

After the divine decree descends, she must bathe in pure water, and then proceed to worship accompanied by the High Priest.

He was already making an exception, and it wasn’t appropriate to break the rules by bringing Lilith and Emily along.

Fortunately, Lilith and the others were quite considerate and obediently stayed by the lakeside. Lette turned into a stream of light and arrived at the Lake Heart Island.

Standing before the Life Mushroom, Lette’s expression was somewhat melancholy.

He used the decayed body of the Ancient Tree of Life to create the Life Mushroom, supposedly some brand new version 3.0 of the Tree of Life system.

But in reality, it had long ceased to resemble its original form.

Except for similar functionality, there wasn’t much resemblance left between them.

Crucially, this thing could absorb sunlight during the day and moonlight at night.

With this daily intake of solar and lunar essence, who knows if one day a monkey might suddenly pop out of it.

However, for now, its existence has allowed the whole world to enter a positive cycle of self-repair.

If it continues like this, it won’t take a few years before the damage caused by the excessive grazing of the Gods will be mostly repaired.

But for now, Lette planned to help it accelerate.

He pressed his hand on the Life Mushroom, his mind resonating with it.

Though Lette did not have a Divine Position like the God of Life, as the Creator, his authority was even higher than the God of Life’s.

With the guidance of his power, the underground part of the Life Mushroom began to extend a vast number of mycelia.

These mycelia were thick and tough, continuously growing downward under Lette’s control and exploring toward the underground city.

Finally, after continuous growth, the mycelia of the Life Mushroom arrived in the Earth Cave of the main underground city.

As the roots appeared, a rich Life Power emanated from them, filling the entire cave with energy.

Except for the Holy Undead, all other monsters felt like they were bathing in the spring breeze.

Under the watchful gaze of the monsters, strands of roots emerged from the top of the Earth Cave, growing and extending, finally drilling into the central altar of the underground city.

Although this was extremely bizarre, it gave the monsters present a compulsion to worship.

Because they felt the presence of Lette, their Master, within it.

And once the roots of the Life Mushroom penetrated within, new fungi began to proliferate.

Under the massive infusion of energy, three new Magic Mushrooms grew in the altar, symbolizing the undead, the swamp, and the dark.

Seeing these three Magic Mushrooms, all the monsters came to the altar to worship.

And Lette, on the Central Island of the Lake of Life, sensed the situation in the underground city through the mycelia.

"Looks like it worked, three mushrooms gathering at the top!"

And in Lette’s perception, the outer construction of the entire Central Underground City was almost complete.

Just as he was about to give the order for the populace to proceed to the designated place to begin building the Undead Dungeon, he saw the Elf Queen, accompanied by a squad of guards, arriving at the Central Island.

"Lord Wright, Lord Wright."

"Your Majesty the Empress?"

Lette frowned slightly, wondering whether the Elf Queen was coming to obstruct or hinder him.

Unexpectedly, after the Empress arrived on the island, she hurriedly had someone carry over a box.

"Your Highness, I was just chatting with your wives by the lake. I heard that you intend to rebuild the underground city?"

"Uh... there are many points to question in that statement. Never mind, I do plan to rebuild the underground city. It’s also for the matter of the Nether Beach."

The Empress quickly opened the treasure chest, revealing a pile of ancient parchment scrolls inside.

"Then these scrolls might be of help to you!"

"What are these...?"

"City Building Orders! The City Building Orders for the underground city!"

The Elf Queen took one out and handed it to Lette, explaining, "These were the spoils we accumulated when the Elf Clan participated in eradicating the underground forces back then.

A City Building Order like this can enable the convenient and effective construction of a brand-new city underground.

You just need to first build an altar for the underground city, then place the scroll inside and infuse it with magic power."

"Do such great things exist?"

"Actually, they are special Magic Scrolls, mostly employing earth element, water element, and other Shaping Magic.

A powerful Underground City Lord, when unsealing the scroll, can further alter and fortify the newly born underground city according to their will."

The Elf Queen patiently explained to Lette, "One thing to note: while these scrolls are convenient to use, they require a massive amount of magic power for support.

Usually, when an Underground City Lord uses such a scroll, they first fill the altar with Demon Crystals.

Or, they pre-arrange with the Evil God that the energy for city building comes from the Evil God, or is borrowed.

There are also cases where the Evil God and the Underground City Lord each bear a certain percentage."

Lette’s mouth twitched, and he suddenly had a strange feeling.

The so-called Underground City Lord is essentially a franchisee, and all sorts of Evil Gods are like various business franchises.

To open a franchise, one needs to sign an agreement with the Evil God, pay the franchise fee, and also find a location and recruit staff.

Some more agreeable Evil Gods would help with renovations, provide equipment, and even train the people.

Looking at a chest full of franchise contracts... a chest full of Underground City Building Contract Scrolls, Lette was a bit speechless.

"Why didn’t you bring these out earlier? If I had known these existed, I wouldn’t have gone through such trouble."

The Elf Queen felt a bit embarrassed, "Forgive me, Your Highness, because my sister suddenly returned, my mind was in chaos, causing me to forget about this.

It wasn’t until I was casually chatting with them just now that I suddenly remembered.

You may not know, but there are actually many Dark Elves.

The ones my sister brought back are probably just one percent."

"If you welcome them, there will surely be more Dark Elves in the future, and even other dark entities seeking redemption will come."

"Let them come! The more, the merrier!"

Lette’s eyes sparkled at the thought.

Right now, the one thing he isn’t worried about is having too many people.

The Underground City Cluster is just the starting standard.

In the future, he intends to secure a vast territory at the Nether Beach!

By then, who knows how many underground cities will need to be built.

Although he has obtained numerous free contracts, certain unique units cannot be acquired through summoning contracts.

For instance, like the Dark Elves, originally elves that later fell and became rare units.

No matter how much Dark Energy is provided, the Dark World can’t just go to another world to find ordinary elves and force-feed them Dark Energy to make them fall, right?

But if one wants to attain the image of a [Demon King], the number of monsters under his command must be vast, and the variety must be complete.

Otherwise, it might easily fall off course and end up as the King of Goblins, or the King of Slimes, or even the Holy Flame Skeleton King.

That would be quite an entertaining scenario.

"Your Majesty, please spread the word and have as many Dark Elves as possible participate in the construction of the underground city.

The world needs them!"
