My construction materials are weird

The situation that the Four Greats were facing was not something they could easily handle.

Only by drawing a large number of troops and experts were they able to maintain the two major meat grinder battlefields, the first and the second.

This led to a rapid increase in combat attrition, and even required drawing personnel from various locations to stabilize the first and second major battlefields.

A series of chain reactions led to delays in development and defense in various regions.

Only then did Ba Zhong realize that greed requires strength, and greed without strength only leads to being stuffed to death.

During this period,

the three Holy Ones of the Abyss descended twice more.

Receiving Gou Jianren's reply that he had no solution, the three were very angry, but Gou Jianren was not abandoned as he had imagined.

Instead, the three comforted him.

Coming back to his senses, Gou Jianren pondered for a long time, and he realized that his human skin had appreciated in value because of Xuanhuang's existence.

He remembered the three Great Holy Ones' initial contempt for everything when they first descended, never regarding humans as worthy of a second glance.

They only saw the skins they descended into as disposable, worthless vessels.

As time passed, especially after encountering Xuanhuang and the changes and destruction it brought, the three Great Holy Ones increasingly valued the human identity.

This situation made him very uncomfortable.

He didn't remember how many times he had been looked at differently because of this skin, nor how many times he had escaped from desperate situations because of ancient wisdom.

Moreover, they could not descend in their true forms, and even if they descended with their will, they could only descend for one hour each month.

This limited time and ability were not enough to solve Xuanhuang's problem.

Therefore, the three began to consider the actual situation, telling Gou Jianren not to think about causing trouble for Xuanhuang for the time being, and to reorganize and rebuild the demon headquarters first.

It would be best to find some human manpower.

They guaranteed that this time they would not treat humans as disposable lives as before, but would treat them well.

They also wanted to test the cultivation techniques created by the three of them, thinking that if Xuanhuang could do it, they could do it too.

One more thing needs to be explained: there was an even more important reason for the three great demons' change.

That was the failure of the transformation.

They failed to create creatures suitable for the Abyss based on humans.

Of course, it was not a complete failure in the strict sense. They did breed creatures suitable for the Abyss, not requiring a fourth-order True Self to start.

They could survive on the cloud continent where they were born under their protection.

As long as they didn't leave the cloud continent where they were born, they would be fine, but!

How should I put it, they could only be called creatures, living things.

They completely lacked human intelligence, and even lacked the instincts of animals.

They were completely killing machines, without a trace of wisdom.

In their eyes, such a race had no future, and could only be used as cannon fodder, with no other use.

The difficulty of breeding intelligent creatures far exceeded their expectations.

They thought it would be a simple matter, but they didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

Recalling the humans they looked down upon, the 'weak' humans, they were so incredible and had such high intelligence.

They could also reproduce on their own, which was amazing.

When the three put away their arrogance and looked at things with a normal heart, they discovered that the Holy Land was a human-dominated world, and humans, strictly speaking, were of a higher level than their own creatures.

The Holy Land in the main world was dominated by humans, and it took seven heavens combined to compare to the main world.

The separated seven heavens bred them, and one of the Holy Lands in the main world bred humans, so the level of humans was higher than theirs.

Although they didn't admit this reality, they didn't think so in their hearts.

After putting down their arrogance, seeing everything again, there would be a completely different scenery.

Humans are indeed a great creation of the universe.

I wonder what kind of creatures occupy the other four Holy Lands in the universe. The humans in the human Holy Land are already eye-opening.

Therefore, this time, the three asked Gou Jianren to gather humans, not just for slaughter, but to study them.

They wanted to study humans and create affiliated creatures of the Abyss, even if they couldn't compare to humans, even if they were a little worse than humans.

It would be better than the killing machines currently researched by the three great demons.

They had a hunch that once their three brothers bred unique creatures, they would receive the blessing of the Abyss's powerful luck.

Even like the merit that humans talk about, directly receiving merit empowerment, from True King creatures to Venerable creatures, and even World Lord creatures, it's not impossible.

The three brothers felt that Xuanhuang might also have such a plan, and was also studying humans to create new creatures.

After all, in their speculation, Xuanhuang was a creature of the seven heavens, just like them.

Although this speculation was just speculation, it could be imagined.

Gou Jianren breathed a sigh of relief and began to gather humans and develop a new demon headquarters according to what the three great demons said.

… …

"Sister Feihong, I still don't understand why we have to get involved with Ba Zhong. You see, they are not performing well."

Queen Rosalinda, after two months, still didn't understand why Feihong wanted to stand with Ba Zhong in the first place, secretly promoting the spread of news to drag the Four Greats into the water.

"Rosa, I know what you're thinking. You don't want to take any sides, you just want to develop silently, not offending either side and pleasing both sides. But, do you think that's feasible?" Feihong said helplessly.

"Why not? Aren't we developing very well now? We have ten transcendents now. In the history of the mermaid, the most glorious era had only five Xuanbian stage experts. We have already surpassed history."

Rosalinda said.

The mermaid kingdom is not strong. According to the standards of Qingyun Mountain's Xuanhuang Taoist method, the strongest peak moment had five Xuanbian stage experts.

It has currently surpassed this number.

"Alas, it's precisely because we've become stronger that we're no longer insignificant." Feihong sighed.

It was difficult for her to explain clearly to the queen. The mermaid was so perfect and flawless, like a work of art.

But she also discovered that the mermaid was superficially perfect like a work of art, but the inside was completely disproportionate.

Take the queen as an example. It should be said that after so long, her wisdom, emotional intelligence, and IQ should have grown, but the reality is that they grow much, much slower than normal humans.

Some profound thoughts and thinking are still vague.

"Rosa, you must know that there is no perfect solution in the world. If you want to be strong and not get involved in trouble, there is no such good thing.

The tolerance of the Four Greats and Ba Zhong towards us is ultimately limited. When we are very weak, they are not stingy with their kindness, but after we have a certain strength, we have to make a choice.

"We have to choose a side, otherwise we won't be anyone's people, and no one will help us when we're targeted and attacked," Fei Hong said earnestly.

"I don't really understand, but since we're choosing a side, why don't we choose the stronger Four Greats?" Rosalinda accepted the idea of choosing a side, but didn't understand why they were choosing the Eighth.

"Because the Eighth is weak," Fei Hong said.

"Weak? You know they're weak? Then why choose the weak one?" Queen Rosa asked.

"Because the Four Greats don't care about us at all. Our bargaining chip is too small, so small that even a branch of the Four Greats is stronger than us," Fei Hong explained.

"I don't understand. You just said that we shouldn't choose a side because we're strong, and now you're saying we're so weak that the Four Greats don't care about us? So, do the Four Greats care about us or not?" Queen Rosalinda was confused.

Fei Hong: … …

Fei Hong felt like she couldn't explain it clearly. With Queen Rosalinda's intelligence, she didn't seem to be able to understand this complex issue.

Read without errors, first release, first internal content, first look!

How could she explain it clearly to her?

"They care about us because we have some strength. They don't care because although we have some strength, it's not strong enough, and we're dispensable," Fei Hong explained in this way.

"Then why would the Four Greats care about a dispensable little fish like us?"

"They don't have to care, but we have to show our position. 'A small country that does not behave humbly, a weak force that does not fear the strong, a rude person who insults great neighbors, and a greedy and clumsy diplomat is doomed to perish.' I remember the book I asked you to read said something like that, although it doesn't quite fit here, but it's the same idea," Fei Hong said.

"This? This? I think you're right, let's do as you say. We're good sisters, I trust you," Queen Rosalinda stopped arguing.

The speed of this change gave Fei Hong a headache.

Obviously, Queen Rosalinda hadn't carefully read what she had told her.

"Sigh, these things really aren't suitable for you. You should still follow my 'chance encounter' plan and go to the Dream World to look for opportunities when you have time. I hope your luck can solve everything," Fei Hong said with a sigh.

It wasn't that she hadn't thought of other methods. Since the Queen's wisdom was lacking and difficult to improve in a short period of time,

it was better to use her strengths to pursue a path that was more suitable for her.

Fei Hong had always felt that the Queen was very lucky. She was picked up by a Mystic Master on a deserted island, and he didn't abandon her, but gave her a way to survive.

It could even be said to be a path to heaven.

After coming to Qingyun Mountain, she even luckily became a transit merchant. Although the value of the transit merchant is not great now, it has been replaced by cultivator teleportation arrays by 90%.

But the Queen can still live a very comfortable life by selling water. Not long ago, the spring even upgraded because it had been integrated into the main world for a long enough time.

It can now produce higher-level pure Yang water. It has to be said that her luck is outrageously good.

She opened up a sea island and discovered a kind of purple copper not far from the coast, which is a transcendent material.

This luck… …

Fei Hong felt that Queen Rosalinda might live a good life just by relying on her luck.

She came up with a chance encounter plan for Queen Rosalinda.

Who should she encounter?

Naturally, it was the current leader of the cultivation world, Holy Mother Tushan.

Since the Four Greats retreated because of Holy Mother Tushan, cultivators who previously knew she was strong but didn't know how strong she was finally understood.

She was outrageously strong, so strong that the Four Greats didn't dare to offend her.

Such strength, such status, and both are women.

Okay, a female fox, a mermaid… … This? This is even better, neither of them are human, so they probably have more common topics.

Therefore, she told Queen Rosalinda to go to the Dream World when she had time, preferably to have a chance encounter with Holy Mother Tushan. It would be great if she could get on Holy Mother Tushan's bandwagon.

Why not just go to her door?

Because that's not reliable. Going directly to the door represents surrender, but encountering and making friends is different, and there will be more room for maneuver.

The Mermaid Kingdom hasn't reached that situation yet, and doesn't need to rely on surrendering to Holy Mother Tushan to protect itself.

There are better methods and time.

"I know, but it's been two months and I haven't met the Holy Mother. Maybe my luck isn't as good as you said," Rosalinda said with some disappointment.

It had been two months and she hadn't met Holy Mother Tushan even once.

She didn't even have a chance to encounter her, and she was a little disappointed.

"Sincerity can move even metal and stone. Don't be afraid, take your time. In the first two months, Senior Holy Mother had to occupy the Third Battlefield and preside over the situation, so naturally she didn't have much time to go to the Dream World. Maybe she's not so busy now. You have to work hard and not give up," she said again.

She also said, enticingly: "Think about it, if you become good friends with Senior Holy Mother, just like when you met me, it would be best if you became sisters. Then we won't be afraid of any enemies. We women can also hold up our own sky. We can help each other, and no one will dare to underestimate us. Think about it?"

"Ah!" Rosalinda couldn't resist being coaxed.

After being said this by Fei Hong, she was completely confused, and even began to think about the beautiful future.

She just had a little doubt, saying that women should help each other, wouldn't it be better to find Chief Steward Sun?

Why does it have to be Holy Mother Tushan? Wouldn't it be better to find someone stronger?

Queen Rosa didn't understand.

But she was afraid that if she asked, Fei Hong would say some more content from the book, and she didn't want to experience this 'painful experience', so she cleverly held back and didn't ask.

Instead, she nodded and confidently went to the Dream World to 'encounter'.

… …

"Holy Mother, that's the specific situation," said the spirit beast military advisor Qiu Bei Sanren, after reporting the recent situation.

"Phew!" Holy Mother Tushan breathed a sigh of relief, finally finishing her busy work.

There were many things, and finally, with her own efforts, the spirit beasts had gained a firm foothold in many places that the Four Greats had withdrawn from.

There were fewer things that she needed to personally command, and she could finally rest for a while.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, and Military Advisor, keep an eye on things recently. I'm going to take a trip to the Dream World to see," Holy Mother Tushan said.

"Yes!" Qiu Bei nodded.

"Big Sister, are you going to find Sister Queen?" Xuanmao asked.

"Yes, our experience in the Holy Land can be considered to have been rolled out, but we still don't have a direction for exploring the outer starry sky. The only one who knows about the outer starry sky is Sister Queen. I plan to ask her in person," Holy Mother Tushan said.

"This Sister Queen is so mysterious. I've been looking for her for so long and haven't found out where she is? The Master is really too much, not knowing where he arranged Sister Queen, making it so I can't find her," Xuanmao said.

"Ahem, Second King, don't be disrespectful to the Mystic Master. It's not good if outsiders hear these words. Now that we're at the height of our popularity, we have to be careful with every word, lest our opponents distort and smear us," Qiu Bei reminded.

Xuanmao: … … ??
