Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master c1-1074

However, the Magic Net rings could put the mental strength of all the users together to form a large mental strength network, allowing everyone in the network to quickly transmit information with one another. With the mental strength network formed using the Magic Net rings, those who had never cooperated with each other would at least reach a high level of cooperation in the battle. Although there might not be much of a tacit understanding with each other, they would at least not hold each other back, and would instead stay with each other like glued sand.

  "Each of you will wear a ring. I believe that you should be able to quickly master its functions at your level," Lin Li said, handing the rings to Elvis who was beside him so that he could distribute them to everyone.

  Everyone was initially confused about the inconspicuous-looking rings which didn't give off many magical waves. It was difficult to imagine them playing any significant role in the battle. However, when they wore the rings, they immediately felt amazed by their power, and gasped in shock when they felt a small amount of power.

  For individuals, the Magic Net ring would be of no use, but for a group, it was simply a priceless treasure! Apart from Cardson who aspired to be a chef, no one else was alone. Hence, they immediately understood the value of the rings.

  Although those people had rarely meddled in the affairs of their respective forces, everyone wanted their factions to develop again. Therefore, after understanding the role and value of the Magic Net rings, the old powerhouses immediately looked at Lin Li with fervor in their eyes.

  "We'll talk about the rings in the future. While you are familiarizing yourselves with their usage, you may also consider something. This time, we can't risk everything to help the Gilded Kingdom for nothing." The Gilded Kingdom might have helped the Breezy Plains in a certain sense, but Lin Li didn't want to let them off just like that.

  The people of the Breezy Plains were truly getting surprised again and again. Firstly, regarding the matter of the rings, Lin Li did not tell them not to covet the rings, and instead said that it would be discussed later, which meant that there was room for discussion. They could completely imagine the drastic improvement in the combat power of their respective teams if everyone was equipped with such a Magic Net ring, even though their individual strength would be not enhanced.

  That was not an exaggeration at all. A small ring like that could allow teams to quickly have a tacit understanding and build a chemistry that required years of interaction to develop. For a team, individual strength would only play a very minor role, and a tacit understanding was the most important.

  Of course, Lin Li knew what they wanted. However, he didn't take to heart the fact that they wanted to use the Magic Net Array to increase their respective teams' ability. Although the Magic Net rings were amazing, they could only exert their amazing power when there was an array like a Magic Net Array involved. Besides, the other arrays could only increase the chemistry between the team members.

  Lin Li was not at all worried that others might replicate the Magic Net rings. Crystal sculptors were few and far between in Anril, not to mention ones at the Master-level. To put it bluntly, even if Lin Li told them the detailed steps to create the Magic Net rings, no one would be able to replicate them.

  Of course, Lin Li did not do this in order to find an additional source of wealth for the Tower of Dusk, but he really wanted to advance the strength of the forces. Only when their strength was improved would they be tougher when facing the Gilded Kingdom, and not drag the Tower of Dusk down when a conflict between the Tower of Dusk and the Gilded Kingdom really broke out in the future. Besides, they would also be able to play a role in resisting the calamity that Geresco had predicted.

  As for whether or not the forces would turn against the Tower of Dusk after they got the Magic Net rings, Lin Li wasn't worried at all. Since he was the creator of those items, he was certainly very clear about its advantages and disadvantages. If any force were to think that

  they would have the strength to challenge the Tower of Dusk after getting the Magic Net rings, they would have to pay a huge price.

  Lin Li's words gave the crowd some relief as they could all tell what he meant, and knew that it was possible for their own forces to obtain the rings and equip themselves with them. Besides, Lin Li's words had also made them feel excited. Clearly, those were the conditions that the Gilded Kingdom had to fulfill for receiving their help.

  Originally, they decided to go to the aid of the Gilded Kingdom to get their d.e.s.i.r.ed benefits from the Gilded Kingdom. However, Lin Li's attitude made them a little hesitant afterwards, and they didn't know if they should go back to negotiate terms with the Gilded Kingdom. Now that Lin Li had given the green light, they obviously wouldn't go easy on the Gilded Kingdom. While thinking about the purpose of the Magic Net rings, they were also discussing the plan to exploit the Gilded Kingdom.

  After they mastered the usage of the Magic Net rings, they immediately put theory into practice, and began talking with each other through the mental strength network formed by the rings. As a result, the atmosphere seemed a little peculiar as the old fogies looked at each other with meaningful glances, causing others to get the goosebumps.

  At this moment, Cantory looked at the situation on Cage Island before turning to look at Lin Li and others while they were conversing. He wanted to intervene a few times to urge them, but nonetheless bore with it. Given his wit and intelligence, he naturally guessed that the people who had come to help him were definitely not just discussing the plan to provide aid. He reckoned that they were probably deliberating how to stab him hard in the back and exploit him.

  However, there was nothing to do even though he had thought of it. Despite how displeased Cantory was, he dared not show any of his unhappiness. Of course, he would still settle scores with the Breezy Plains—he would have plenty of chances to do so after surviving the ordeal at hand.

  Cantory didn't know how long they actually waited, but he knew that he was on the verge of running out of patience. He didn't even realize that he was clenching his fists so hard that his fingernails were digging deep into his flesh. When he looked back for the umpteenth time, he finally saw the young president of the Tower of Dusk walking towards him with the others. At this moment, he was almost about to burst into tears of distress as the wait was simply too torturous.

  However, just like Cantory had thought previously, when they arrived and saw him, they did not discuss the plan to give aid, and instead raised their conditions like greedy vampires immediately after seeing him.

  That was plain blackmail and extortion! Cantory was filled with so much agitation that he was about to explode. Although he had long known about the shamelessness of these people in the Breezy Plains, he never thought that they would be shameless to such an extent.

  Among them, the one who asked for the least already asked for 10 Legendary magical crystals as payment, but the Gilded Kingdom had a limited number of them too, and had to obtain them from killing sea beasts and engaging in battles that would put lives at risk. Some even asked for the Heart of the Ocean gemstone which was the specialty of the Gilded Kingdom. However, it didn't mean that they produced it in large volumes; it just meant that the Heart of the Ocean could not be found elsewhere. Even in the Gilded Kingdom, it was a superior-quality magical gemstone that was extremely rare.

  However, Cantory couldn't refuse in the current situation. If he were elsewhere, such as Rafah City previously, Cantory could talk to them properly about those conditions. However, the panic-stricken Elder Zumar and the others were waiting right there. Cantory was in no mood to discuss with them.

  Just you wait, I'll make sure you cough up everything you eat! Cantory was filled with resentment, but he didn't show it. He agreed to their requests with a look of dismay, almost without any bargaining.

  Soon, the people of the Breezy Plains reached various agreements with Cantory. They were not worried that the Gilded Kingdom would go back on their word. After all, although their demands were
harsh, the Gilded Kingdom could afford to give them what they wanted. If they dared to go back on their word, the Gilded Kingdom's image and reputation would be ruined. From then on, they would not be able to continue staying in Anril.

  Of course, Lin Li did not miss such an opportunity. Although the Tower of Dusk could be considered rich and powerful now, no one would say no to more benefits. Besides, the Gilded Kingdom was a nation on sea, and held a number of resources in the sea, which were rare on land.

  Just like that, Cantory bore with the anger, and signed a contract aggrievedly. In the end, he looked at Lin Li and took a deep breath. He said, "President Felic, it's time for you to take action next."

  Lin Li put away the contract without looking at Cantory at all. Instead, they looked at the Cage Island, and indifferently said, "Enough, begin taking action according to my previous arrangements."

  Lin Li did not include Cantory. Even though Cantory was competent, he was an outsider, after all, so no one in the Breezy Plains trusted him. Instead of letting him stay in a safe spot of the battle, they might as well let him stay at the side, and watch as a reward for signing so many contracts with them.

  With Lin Li's order, Elvis and the other six pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses immediately flew up with the peak Legendary powerhouses under them, and split into six teams to surge towards Cage Island. Due to the Magic Net rings' mental strength network, which connected all of their mental strength, and made them seem to experience an increase in their mental strength, the effect of the terrifying oppression of a true Sanctuary powerhouse had been reduced to the maximum.

  Hence, although they could barely get close to the battlefield previously, they could now move freely under that mighty pressure.

  The six pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses led their respective teams, but they didn't attack the existence under Cage Island right away. Instead, they each activated their Magical Domain that contained tinges of Sanctuary aura. According to Lin Li's previous arrangement, they each occupied a spot on the battlefield, connecting the Magical Domains to suppress the power of the existence under Cage Island.

  At the same time, Lin Li also opened his own Domain World, and a vibrant world emerged from the thick dark clouds, descending onto Cage Island. The heavy dark clouds were melting under the sun like ice and snow at a speed visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye.

  As Lin Li and the others took action, the power of that existence under Cage Island was also dispersed by the crowd immediately. Elder Zumar, who was struggling to hold on on Cage Island, finally had a chance to catch his breath. However, he couldn't get out of the trap completely, and still had to bear most of the attacks from that power.

  That was one of the steps in Lin Li's plan, which was to absolutely not let the people of the Gilded Kingdom get out of the trap easily. Firstly, he was worried that the people of the Gilded Kingdom might flee immediately after getting out of the trap, and the other reason was that he wanted the Sanctuary powerhouse Elder Zumar to continue bearing most of the pressure. Since the Gilded Kingdom had held out for so long, they could continue for longer.

  Lin Li's concern was not unreasonable. After all, the Gilded Kingdom was a foreign force, and its relationship with the forces of the Breezy Plains was far from being comrades who fought against the same enemy. If the Gilded Kingdom chose to reap all the benefits after breaking free from the trap, it wouldn't be surprising at all.

  On Cage Island, Elder Zumar who was supporting the oceanic world could obviously feel that the pressure outside had been reduced greatly. He finally heaved a sigh of relief, but the pressure was still on his shoulders, and his oceanic world was still the main target of the existence under Cage Island.

  Just like what Lin Li was worried about, Elder Zumar wanted to pit the forces of the Breezy Plains against the existence under Cage Island while the Gilded Kingdom reaped the benefits. However, his plan had obviously fallen through, and the other party simply did not give him the opportunity to fulfill his plan.

  If Elder Zumar was alone, it probably wouldn't be too difficult for him to forcefully break away from the battlefield. However, he was still protecting the other people of the Gilded Kingdom in his oceanic world, and perhaps even a god would not be able to leave with those people.

  However, this time, it was a team of elites of the Gilded Kingdom, and even if Elder Zumar was stone-hearted, he could not bring himself to give them up. If they were abandoned, it would be a huge loss for the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati. Despite his powerful status, he wouldn't be able to answer for it when he returned.

  At this moment, the existence under Cage Island seemed to have felt the extra pressure as the magical waves in the entire place became even more vigorous. The gigantic mountain-peak like waves seemed to have suddenly come to life as they began launching an attack on the various sources of pressure.

  Those sources of pressure were naturally the teams led by the six pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses. In fact, with their strength, they were actually too incompetent to participate in a battle of such a level, but with the Spiritual Network formed by the Magic Net rings, their power was somewhat connected. Although they were far from becoming one, their network could not be broken easily, especially since Lin Li and Elder Zumar bore the brunt of the attack for them.

  From that point, Lin Li could tell that the usage of power of the existence below Cage Island was completely instinctual. It was unclear if the imprisoned entity had really awakened. Anyone with a working brain would probably choose to gather power to focus on a single point instead of launching a full-blown attack on everyone.

  It could be said that the existence under Cage Island was instinctively distributing its power according to the strength of the enemy. Hence, the stronger ones would bear more pressure, while the weaker ones would be under less pressure. Of course, that was only relative. After all, for those who were weaker, even a small amount of power was quite a lot to bear.

  Fortunately, the people of the Breezy Plains, who had long been warned by Lin Li, had each exerted their full strength from the moment they entered the battlefield. Therefore, in the face of the immense pressure, they did not have any close shaves with death even though they were coping with great difficulty. The six teams led by the six pseudo-Sanctuary powerhouses managed to hold back a considerable amount of the pressure, which played a very important role in the overall situation during the battle.

  Seeing the performance of the people of the Breezy Plains, Elder Zumar couldn't help but be a little surprised as he'd never thought that the Breezy Plains would actually be able to put together such a force. Besides, their performance was completely beyond his imagination, and he felt that they were a team right from the beginning.

  Of course, Elder Zumar did not know that the key reason that they could perform so well was because they were all wearing the Magic Net rings that Lin Li had given them. At the same time, it was also because they had vaguely recognized Lin Li as their leader. The forces were initially in a state of disunity where none of them wanted to submit to anyone. However, when a leader appeared and managed to convince everyone, they naturally united.

  The performance of those people in the Breezy Plains was only a surprise to Elder Zumar as he was greatly astounded when he felt the massive magical fluctuations coming from above his head. If he hadn't understood the Ashen Warlock well, he would have even thought that the Ashen Warlock had appeared because he remembered that the only Sanctuary powerhouse in the Breezy Plains who could reach such a strength seemed to be the Ashen Warlock. It also seemed that only the Ashen Warlock would dare to threaten the Gilded Kingdom and the Illuminati.

  However, Elder Zumar felt that the magical waves coming from above were extremely different from those of the Ashen Warlock. He could clearly sense that the magical wave was full of vitality, creation, and comprehension of the world. It could be described as perfection.

  Elder Zumar simply could not imagine what kind of person could master the
World Laws to such an extent. Even the three Arbitrators of the Supreme Council who had challenged him in the past seemed to be inferior to this in terms of perfection. In fact, even though he refused to admit it, he couldn't deny that even the priest of the Illuminati did not master the World Laws to such a perfect extent.

  Overwhelmed with astonishment and curiosity, Elder Zumar tilted his head to look up at the vibrant Domain World, only to be greeted with a sight that shocked him even more. He did not expect to see such a young person in the Domain World. The figure even gave him an illusion that he had just seen Geresco the God of Mages who had led the rebellion and overthrown the rule of the High Elves.

  "Elder Zumar, if you don't start sealing it now, when will you do it?" Lin Li said hostilely in midair when he sensed Elder Zumar's gaze. What a joke. This old man is still spacing out at such a juncture. If that creature under Cage Island escapes, let's see how you cry.

  After being rebuked by Lin Li, Elder Zumar finally recovered from the shock. His face was flushed, and he said to his subordinates in the oceanic world, "Quick, repeat what you've done before and reinforce the seal." As he said that, he expanded his oceanic World Domain to cover the entire island.

  Hearing Elder Zumar's command, the people in the oceanic world dared not delay at all as they immediately took action. The mages who were previously responsible for reinforcing the seal immediately expanded the World Domain, returned to their respective positions, and activated the Alchemy Array used to reinforce the seal.

  However, with the reactivation of the Alchemy Array, the existence sealed below Cage Island seemed to feel threatened, and immediately increased the intensity of the counterattack. The sea around Cage Island seemed to overturn as the roaring waves emitted peculiar rays of light. The terrifying power seemed to also make the world tremble.

  It was as if there was a violent earthquake on Cage Island as it started shaking vigorously like a small boat in a storm. Those who were activating the Alchemy Array were shaking to the point of rolling everywhere on the ground.
