Struggle in the Steam Age

Time is like water, gone forever. Since their adventure to the River Styx, Lawrence and Syfel had returned to New Shaw and stayed there for two years.

After all, the previous conflict with the gods even hurt the foundation for Lawrence and the others, so they can only use this time to take a good rest and recuperate.

However, during this period of time, Lawrence and the others did not do nothing, but devoted all their energy to the construction of the church and territory.

For example, Nora's church has broken through the scope of New Sauer Island and the surrounding archipelago, and has successfully spread to the entire Sea of ​​Stars and even the countries east of the Great Mountain Range of the New World.

The reason why she was able to spread so quickly was because her priesthood and benefits were relatively close to the people, so she was able to attract enough believers.

For example, many medical staff, sauce makers, and wine merchants have begun to pray to Nora, because the priesthood of microbes under Tianyan will be related to their work

. On the other hand, it is because the priesthood of Nora not only does not conflict with the priesthoods of other gods, but even complements some of the priesthoods of several gods in some aspects.

More importantly, Lawrence and several other churches of Nora provided help and accumulated a lot of favors in the not short period of time before.

In this case, the little puppet not only did not encounter resistance from other churches in spreading its beliefs, but instead received help from local churches in many places.

With the expansion of the church's influence, the entire church has also begun to quickly turn from a grassroots team to a formal one. At least for now, Nora's church does not look much different from those old churches.

In addition to Nora's church, the development of Lawrence's territory has also entered the fast lane. Because of various high value-added industries and a large number of immigrants, the development of the entire island is very fast.

Especially after the puppet has thoroughly mastered the priesthood of island guardianship, their development speed for this island has also increased by more than one level.

Now, the island has seven urbanized settlements, and if the population of the surrounding islands is added, there are more than 1.6 million intelligent creatures.

In the surrounding ocean, Lawrence also has more than 600,000 intelligent creatures, mainly loca murlocs.

At the same time, with the support of sufficient manpower and resources, they successfully developed more than 70% of the main island of Nova Sauer and its affiliated islands, and formulated industries suitable for these environments according to the environment.

For example, now the flagship products of New Shaw Island are all kinds of high-quality and unique pharmaceutical products, hardware, food, tea, seafood and artificial cultured pearls and corals.

These products are either necessities in the region or items with some kind of uniqueness. Therefore, it can naturally gain enough advantages in the market, and make Nova Sauer Island one of the most fertile areas in the entire sea area.

In addition to developing his territory, Lawrence also tried his best to contact the lords on other islands, and centered on his own island and the surrounding sea area, he integrated the entire southeastern region of Star Ocean into an economic community.

After being organized, these islands quickly began to distribute production according to the rules, avoiding vicious competition among each other and unnecessary waste. And then the overall development has reached an unprecedented level.

And Lawrence also took this opportunity to unify the surrounding currency into the star Hekron issued by him. At the same time, because of the priesthood of Nora's patron saint, the little doll successfully spread his belief to the surrounding islands.

In this way, with the dual factors of economy and faith, Lawrence can to some extent allow his influence to break through the scope of the territory and extend to the entire surrounding sea area.

Because of the vigorous vitality shown by the entire region during this period, this island located in the southeast of the Sea of ​​Stars is now called the String of Pearls in the Sea of ​​Stars.

This kind of prosperity even continued to the newly developed territory in Yanzhou. Even though Lawrence and the others did not focus on this territory in the past two years, scientific planning and a certain percentage of investment were still successful. This new territory has been developed like never before.

Now, a series of industries related to tropical planting, wood processing, supply to some ocean-going ships and simple entrepot trade have been developed in this new territory.

At the same time, because the development of these industries has greatly enhanced the carrying capacity of the local environment, there are more than 800,000 actual controlled population and more than 100,000 local temporary workers in the territory.

In short, after these two years of careful development, for Lawrence and the others, both the church and the territory have achieved considerable development, and at the same time laid the foundation for further prosperity in the future.

In addition to these official affairs, Lawrence also encountered a very happy personal thing, that is, after two years of tossing, Safir was finally pregnant.

From a personal point of view, this means that Lawrence has obtained the continuation of his blood in this world and has a deeper connection with this world.

From a larger perspective, this descendant represents the successor of Lawrence's foundation, and the changes he brought to the entire world will continue instead of giving up halfway.

After confirming that everything is handled in the same way now, and that he and Nora have recovered from their injuries. Lawrence was finally able to relax and do what he had always planned to do.

So after getting ready, Lawrence and Nora entered the astral plane, and then entered the astral plane using the astral plane as a transit,

Entering the astral realm with one's real body is an extremely dangerous act, if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by monsters in the astral realm. These monsters are thick-skinned and huge in size, and often possess some special powers.

If you are unlucky and encounter the strongest of these monsters, even the true god may fall in the conflict that broke out between the two sides.

However, Lawrence and Nora did not come to explore the astral world this time. In addition, they are not too high in the extraordinary level, so they are not conspicuous in this area, so they came to the edge of the universe crystal wall smoothly after more than a month .

Due to the extremely chaotic energy flow outside the cosmic crystal wall and the massive random and chaotic areas, most of the existences in this world do not know what kind of existence exists outside this chaos.

But as an existence from another world, Lawrence knew that his hometown should be in a world outside the crystal wall of this universe.

After making sure that he came to the right place, the little puppet waved his hand and released the gate of the gods that he had obtained before. In the past two years, the Gate of the Gods has also been completely remodeled by Lawrence and Nora.

Now the gate of the gods, which is composed of two fig trees, quietly floats on a near-solid power of faith, and at the same time, countless mysterious runes of different sizes loom on the entire gate.

This is the trans-crystal wall magic array prepared by Lawrence and Nora. With the help of the special resonance between the Gate of the Gods and the building wood owned by Lawrence as a positioning, Lawrence can send something across the barriers of time and space to the distant universe. middle.

According to the previous research of the two, because of the energy conflict between different worlds. Lawrence and the others basically had no way to go back to their hometown directly. Fortunately, some things can be passed back.

Soon, the gate of the gods began to operate under the control of the little puppet. At the same time, Lawrence also summoned the phantom of Jianmu to guide the search for the gate of the gods.

But what shocked Lawrence was that he actually felt that there were multiple suitable target locations in this gate of the gods.

"It seems that the theory of the parallel world in my impression is actually true." At this time, Nora, who was in sync with Lawrence, also discovered this situation and made a guess. "But aren't we also prepared for this possibility?"

"You are right, but this means that our expenditure this time is much greater than what we had previously guessed." Lawrence shook his head helplessly, and then continued to perceive. When the investigation was over, they finally locked eight worlds.

After confirming this, Lawrence took out eight silver-green two-color crystals the size of little fingertips. These crystals are special items made by Nora with the power of faith as the core and the power of many gods.

These crystals are actually some carriers with some extraordinary inheritance inside. According to Lawrence's thinking, since I have no way to go home, it is also a good thing to make a copy of my soul instead of living in my hometown.

Of course, this soul copy will only take over a soulless body. If all you meet are peers, then this soul copy will directly destroy itself and integrate into the other party's soul without causing any impact on the other party.

After all, those peers were to Lawrence his otherworldly self. So in this case, even if they are not the target that Lawrence is looking for now, Lawrence still needs to send a gift.

The energy in the gate of the gods began to fluctuate, and then opened a space gate that was constantly fluctuating like the surface of water. Although this door looks only the size of a palm, the power contained in it cannot be ignored.

"Brother, hurry up!" After the space door opened, Nora's eyes widened suddenly, because the energy needed to open the space door far exceeded her imagination. Even if he was ready, the little puppet found it difficult to hold on for more than a minute.

"Let's go." Hearing Nora's reminder, Lawrence immediately threw the crystal in his hand into the space door. Then the golden space door trembled, suddenly drawing a large amount of energy from the foundation formed by the power of faith below.

A burst of dark light appeared that seemed to absorb all the surrounding light, and an infinitely tiny black hole appeared in the center of the space door, and the existence in it was sucked in instantly, disappeared, and then everything returned to calm again.

At this time, Lawrence raised his head to look at the chaotic space outside the crystal wall, and maintained this posture for a long time. The line of sight seems to have traveled through time and space to see the scenery on the other side.

It wasn't until the little puppet packed up everything and came to remind him that Lawrence sighed softly. Then he left the chaotic zone at the edge of the universe with Nora.

————————————— I am the dividing line on the other side of the universe ————————————

Just when Lawrence let go of the burden in his heart and started a new life. In a universe on the other side of the distant sea of ​​time and space, on a blue planet.

A silver-green light broke through the atmosphere without anyone noticing, then rushed straight into a certain room in a certain district of a certain city, and then disappeared into the sky.

An ordinary-looking bed that looked rather neat. A young man who seemed to have fallen asleep before took a long breath and sat up.

A silver-green light flashed from the newly opened eyes, and looked around the bedroom with the light of the street lamp through the curtains. He said happily and deeply, "I'm back!"

Two new books are being updated, "Treasure Hunting Begins in England" and "The Admiral of Hogwarts" can be read
