Xiao Chen moved the Lycoris radiata to a hillside by the sea so that it would not be affected by the waves.
He didn't know if there was still a bit of Adriana's soul and will left in it, but looking at the flowers swaying gently in the wind, the red image would appear in his mind.
"Maybe she just wants us to remember what she really looks like. This must be very important to her," said Luo Ling.
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling exited the meditation world. They naturally looked towards the Seat of Immortality in the room. Although Adriana's image in the real world was ugly and terrifying, it did not seem so glaring to them at this moment.
"Give her a good burial." Xiao Chen said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ugly shell began to continue to crack and finally turned into dust. The Seat of Eternal Life also shattered into parts on the ground because it lost Adriana's mental control.
At this time, Glade had also woken up. Unlike Xiao Chen, he received a gift from Adriana. It was a holy-level spell ghost army from the Spirit Tower. Through this spell, the dead with different strengths can be transformed into ghosts of different levels. The ghosts that screamed in the previous battle with the sea tribe came from the dead with the ability to cast spells. The ghosts that are good at melee combat mostly come from the souls of warriors.
Adriana used this magic to create and command so many undead spirits. Now that she was gone, the ghosts of the ghost ships became inanimate objects. Glade, who had learned this magic, became their manipulator.
"Dead things without their own will are still far less powerful than the ghosts in the "Soul Gathering Book." Glade decided to absorb the energy of these ghosts into the "Soul Gathering Book" and release their souls.
When they finished dealing with the things here, they boarded Houyi and Xingtian to leave the strait. It was already night. The sea clan fleet that followed behind also arrived at the entrance of the strait, and Xiao Chen's fleet joined together.
Xiao Chen said to Trina and Mencius: "I have completed my part of the promise. I hope you can fulfill your wish and sit on the throne of the Sea King next."
Trina witnessed the strength of Xiao Chen and his party again this time, and was truly convinced. She said respectfully: "Sir Xiao Chen, please believe my promise. When I return to the core of the alliance and take control of the situation of the sea people, we, the sea people, will become your steadfast allies, and our warriors will become your vanguards."
Xiao Chen said: "I will control Grote Island in the northwest according to the agreement and prepare to establish an advance base there. Our people will collect hydrological information of the Raging Sea there. Then we will say goodbye now."
Xiao Chen took away the sea warriors he hired, and the remaining fleet and the fleets of the two families left behind followed Trina to the center of the Pearl Islands.
———————
After six days of sailing, Xiao Chen arrived at Grote Island, located at the forefront of the Raging Sea. This island, together with the previously occupied Jimeno Island, will become the foothold of the Chinese Tower on the Pearl Islands.
The environment of Grote Island is much worse than that of Jimeno Island. It is close to the Raging Sea, and the wind and waves in the sea have begun to grow stronger. There are also fewer fish in the water. Because there are often strong winds on the island, there are not many tall plants. And this is far away from the trade route, so this is an island without sea creatures. But this just fits Xiao Chen's idea.
After Houyi, Xingtian and the eight sea clan warships that followed them anchored here, Xiao Chen and his team began to rebuild the island.
Xiao Chen knew that haste would not get you anywhere near the hot tofu, so they built a port and a boat on the east side of the island, away from the wind and waves.
This is the teleportation array they set up, so that they can mobilize personnel from the mainland to come here. Although the cost is extremely high due to the long distance, it is much more convenient than using a ship.
At the same time, they also took the time to clear out a piece of land on the island. There was no place more suitable for releasing the Spirit Tower than an island so isolated in the sea.
Two weeks later, Xiao Chen brought everyone to the open space and took out the black and white Spirit Tower crystal.
He used his mental power to input the signal of recovery and enlargement to the Spirit Tower, and the crystal flew out of his hand, flew to a height of 100 meters, and began to expand. It was as if countless intricate spaces were released one by one, points became lines, lines became surfaces, and surfaces finally became the hard shell of the Spirit Tower.
In less than five minutes, a pair of twin towers towering into the sky stood on the island.
"It's a miraculous skill." Xiao Chen said.
"Actually, there are clues to follow." Luo Ling said.
"Yes, as long as we go through calculations and restoration, we can roughly grasp the appearance of this technology," said Mao Kai.
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go and see what's inside."
The Spirit Tower has two gates, one on the white tower and one on the black tower.
The white tower represents life and the black tower represents death, so Xiao Chen naturally chose the door on the white tower.
Arriving at the door, the gate of the White Tower opened automatically, and a man's voice sounded in the air: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I could still see the inheritor of the Seven Towers taking over this Spirit Tower from Adriana."
Xiao Chen was very familiar with this voice; it was the voice of the time traveler He Jin.
"Are you He Jin?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I am the tower spirit of the Spirit Tower. As for whether it is He Jin, I am not sure." The tower spirit seemed to sigh, "Even if I think it is, they will not admit it, right?"
Xiao Chen was surprised: "I didn't expect you to have such self-awareness. I thought..."
"Do you think I'm like the artificial intelligence before the time travel?" Ta Ling said.
"Do you know that we are time travelers?"
"Of course, when I was wrapped in Adriana's soul, my perception was not blocked. I heard all your conversations, although I was blocked and unable to express my opinions. But, I know everything." said Tarling.
"So what do you think of Adriana's sacrifice?" Xiao Chen asked.
"You see, this is why they think I am no longer He Jin. They think I should be sad and heartbroken to hear such news. But in fact, I am very calm, because I know Adriana has made the best choice. They think this is the disappearance of emotion, but I think it is the sublimation of reason. When your will is washed away by countless data and you have to handle affairs based on efficiency, you will find out how to do it most efficiently. If this is called degeneration, I think it is unreasonable.
It's not that I don't have emotions. I can feel the sadness that Xiaona's death brings, but I can't find a reason to express it to you. Because it's meaningless and wasteful. "
"I don't know." Xiao Chen replied, "But I'm sure I don't want to become like you." (To be continued)
