Chapter 1050 Harvest of Energy Crystals

The wrathful shriek of the abyss's will seemed to be faintly perceived even through the barriers of space.

But what's even clearer is the signal that the abyss has been forcibly incorporated into the rules of the bloodbath, and that the forces of order have taken root and solidified.

"So fast... These gods are really efficient."

Kana's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

The power of the gods is indeed far beyond what mortals can imagine, especially when they go all out to seize the benefits of the rules established at the start of the bloody battle, their efficiency is astonishing.

As the 1316th floor officially transformed into a bloodbath battlefield, the "feedback" generated by the fierce collision between order and the chaotic origins of the abyss, like a flood breaking through a dam, began to cross spatial barriers and pour back towards the 1121st floor, the original source of the "wound".

This force is extremely special; it is neither pure order nor pure chaos, but rather a highly purified torrent of primordial energy formed by the annihilation and fusion of the two after their most intense collision at the level of rules.

This level of energy can only be used by gods.

It far exceeds the limits that ordinary people can understand.

Kana's expression instantly became incredibly focused.

His hovering body rose slightly, his eyes closed, and the ring of order formed by the data stream behind his head suddenly accelerated its rotation, shining brightly.

Intangible, data-driven rules materialized around him, forming a huge, precise, and constantly calculating spiral halo.

The immense torrent of primal energy that surged back was as if guided by an invisible giant hand, rushing wildly into this data spiral.

The energy is forcibly compressed, purified, and condensed during high-speed rotation, emitting a heart-pounding hum.

Visibly, at the center of the spiral, highly condensed energy crystals, shimmering with brilliant light and seemingly containing galaxies within, began to form rapidly.

Like the purest diamond, it exudes a breathtakingly pure power.

This extraordinary sight attracted the attention of everyone passing by.

Whether it was the Astral Alliance warriors who were gathering or the busy logistics personnel in the camp, they couldn't help but stop and look up.

Although they could not fully understand the nature of this energy torrent and what Kana was doing, the pure and powerful energy fluctuations were enough to shock and awe them.

Just then, the aura of another deity descended.

Unlike the previous ones, this deity did not rush into the portal, but stopped near Kana and hovered in the air.

His gaze pierced through the dazzling light of the energy torrent and landed on Kana and the constantly condensing energy crystal.

"The feedback from the impact..." A sudden realization flashed through the god's mind.

The scene before them clearly demonstrated that this newly crowned savior, Kana, was the one who initiated this epic bloody team battle.

What the opponent is currently reaping is the most direct "spoils of war" after opening up the battlefield—the purest and most extreme energy crystals produced by the collision of primal sources.

The energy contained in this crystal is terrifying; even many gods would find it difficult to obtain such a pure and massive quantity.

However, in the eyes of an experienced true god, this pure energy crystal, though precious, is more like a "byproduct" of opening up a bloody battlefield.

What truly captivated the gods was the crystal-clear imprint of rules that emanated from the moment the fundamental rules of space collided.

That is the most direct manifestation of the laws of the universe, an excellent opportunity to elevate one's divine power, expand one's divine authority, and solidify one's own rules; it is a "main course" that is countless times more precious than pure energy.

Cana clearly also caught those imprints of the rules, but those clashes could only be clearly felt by going deep into the front lines and actually being in the planes of collision.

This is why so many gods rushed out.

However, he chose to stay in the rear and focus on absorbing these energy crystals instead of rushing to the front line on the 1316th floor to compete for the more tempting insights into the rules.

"It seems... this savior's main target is actually these energy crystals?" The god who had stopped quickly made a judgment in his mind. "Very well."

A thought takes shape in the mind of a deity.

He then gifted some of the energy crystals he had acquired on the front lines to Kana.

This is not difficult, and it is entirely worthwhile.

While the insights gained from the rules on the front lines are abundant, the more gods participate in the struggle, the smaller the share each individual receives.

The absence of a powerful deity, especially a new god like Kana who possesses special rules and is vying for power on the front lines, is actually a good thing for the other gods.

Moreover, as the initiator of this team battle, all the gods on the side of order who benefited from this bloody battle owe Kana a favor.

Furthermore, if the initiator, Kana, is willing to fight on the front lines, his understanding of the rules will surpass that of other gods.

Now that the other party has voluntarily given up, the vacancy left behind can be given back to almost all the gods, who naturally accept this favor.

Giving away a portion of the "byproducts" you acquire is both a way of repaying a favor and an investment.

He is definitely not the only god who thinks this way; other gods will surely reciprocate in the same way.

The other party is a savior, although, as far as we know, their world is still threatened by the void.

But since they have already obtained the name of savior, it means that they are absolutely capable of surviving the threat of the void. As long as the world can survive, no matter how great the cost, it is still protecting the world.

Then their world will surely enter a golden age, at most it will just take a little longer. For gods, a thousand or ten thousand years is not something they can't wait for.

Therefore, its potential is limitless.

It would be entirely beneficial to befriend such a promising new god of order.

Furthermore, since this entity primarily focuses on acquiring this energy, it almost certainly means that this savior intends to use it to give back to its own world, helping it to retain more within the void.

Then the time interval between entering the golden age will be shorter.

The energy crystals they return might also shorten this time.

For real-name registration, time is but a blink of an eye, but why not use it in a shorter time?

Overall, such behavior is absolutely feasible.

The deity observed quietly for a moment without disturbing Kana, and then transformed into a stream of light, entering the massive portal leading to the 1316th floor battlefield.

In the time that followed, every deity who newly arrived at the 1121st level camp, whether passing by in a hurry or lingering for a while, would invariably turn their gaze to the figure in the sky absorbing immense energy and condensing crystals.

After a brief moment of observation, many gods had thoughts similar to those of the previous god.

Some deities even wish to cooperate more deeply with the world of Kanah.

Perhaps we can have more exchanges.

Some of the gods were also interested in the new rules that Kana had demonstrated.

Such interest should never be tested rashly; it would be absolutely impolite and hostile.

With the Titan chief god already contributing a punch to aid its actions, the gods of the Order side would naturally not be foolish enough to do such a thing.

Statements came one after another, passing through this intermediary, revealing one after another Kana's actions.

Kana's focus on energy crystallization inadvertently created more space for the frontline gods to comprehend the rules. His achievements as the initiator deserve this unspoken "reward" from the gods.

Each deity is remembered in the heart.

When the fighting subsides, I will give a portion of the energy crystals I have obtained to this savior who guards the rear and paves the way for order.

I don't know how much time passed.

Cana slowly opened his silvery-white eyes, and deep within those pupils, composed of pure data streams, it seemed as if a galaxy had receded.

His suspended body descended slightly, detaching from the massive energy vortex that continuously roared and gathered the essence of the collision between the abyss and order.

Behind him, the condensed ring, woven from a torrent of data, liquid starlight, and a few strands of dark red blood, continued to operate efficiently.

It was like a cold and precise living device, following the rules set by Kana, greedily sucking up the torrent of primal energy flowing back from the 1316th layer of steel ash wasteland.

The dazzling crystals, visible to the naked eye, are like the embryos of stars, constantly growing and expanding at the center of the vortex, radiating a pure power that is breathtaking.

He no longer needed to monitor the device constantly; it was itself an extension of the power of the Kana Rules.

He landed lightly back on the scorched but no longer foul-smelling ground of the camp, the hem of his silver robe brushing against the cooled metallic dust.

"I thought you'd stay up there for a few more days and nights."

A slightly tired but still cheerful voice came through.

Leilia strode forward. Although the light of the [Sun Warrior] on her body had been subdued, the warrior's sharpness remained.

Behind her, Apis and the others, as well as Bugret, gathered around.

Their faces bore the relaxed air of a great battle, and an indescribable sense of glory.

Kana's gaze swept across the camp.

The watchmen were scattered in twos and threes, some resting against makeshift fortifications, some talking in hushed tones, and some wiping their battered [Barrier Oath] heavy armor.

Their faces no longer held the tense killing intent, but rather the relief of surviving a disaster, and a pure, heartfelt pride.

Their achievements are enough to leave a significant mark on the epic tales passed down by countless races in the Astral Plane.

The number of Order Alliance troops in the camp was indeed small. Most of the elite troops had already poured into the huge portal leading to the 1316th floor like an iron torrent. Only the logistics troops were still busy transferring the last batch of supplies.

It is now the third day since the battlefield of bloody battle began to invade outwards.

What's the situation at the front?

"Kana asked."

Leilia shook her head, the stray hairs on her forehead swaying.

"The briefing from the Allied Command only mentioned that the order occupation level on the 1316th floor was steadily increasing and that they were engaged in fierce fighting with the Abyss God."

"Specific details? No one came back to report, only more soldiers and supplies kept pouring in."

She pointed to the temporary facilities being dismantled at the edge of the camp, "This place will soon be abandoned. The foundation for the next Bloodbath Fortress has probably already been laid in the Steel Ember Wasteland."

In other words, the next level of the bloodbath battlefield has been completely stabilized, and the construction of the most important bloodbath fortress has begun.

Cana nodded knowingly; this result was entirely expected.

With the gods of order personally taking part and a continuous influx of astral forces, it's only a matter of time before the resistance in the Abyss on the 1316th floor, no matter how fierce, is over.

He raised his hand, palm up.

A soft yet incredibly dazzling light condensed at his fingertips, quickly transforming into a teardrop-shaped crystal about the size of a pigeon's egg.

This crystal seemed to contain a miniature galaxy, with countless tiny points of light flowing, appearing, and disappearing within it, emitting pure and orderly energy fluctuations. Deep within its core, faint dark red veins could be seen.

This was one of the ultimate goals he and the Night's Watch sought when they ventured deep into the heart of the abyss and unleashed this colossal wave—a highly concentrated crystallization of primordial energy born from the collision and annihilation of order and the abyss's essence.

Leilia and the others were instantly captivated by this magnificent creation, holding their breath.

They could clearly sense the power contained within, a power capable of shaking the very foundations of the world.

"Our goal has been achieved."

Cana's voice was clear and firm, echoing through the camp and attracting the attention of all the Night's Watchmen nearby.

"The Abyss Battlefield has entered a new phase for us."

With a slight thought, the liquid starlight flowed out, quickly weaving into a complex, sealed box covered with data runes, firmly sealing the dazzling water droplet crystal inside.

The box's surface flashed briefly before settling into a more understated state.

"All Night's Watch units, take inventory of personnel and equipment, and gather the wounded. Use Blood Pit Fortress as the final assembly point, and prepare to withdraw from the Abyss battlefield and return to the Prime Material Plane."

Kana's gaze swept over each commander. "The Abyss will serve as a training ground for new recruits and a hunting ground for acquiring resources, not a front for us to continue to actively expand on a large scale. Mission here is complete."

"Yes, Commander!" Lelia was the first to straighten her back, clenching her right fist and slamming it heavily onto the [Barrier Oath] breastplate on her left chest, producing a resounding clang.

Biglett and the others immediately obeyed the order, but their excitement was hard to hide.

The instructions were issued swiftly.

The temporary camp immediately sprang into action again, like a finely tuned gear.

The resting Night Watch warriors quickly got up and began to prepare their equipment and gather the scattered supplies in an orderly manner.

Logistics personnel sped up the transfer process, sealing or destroying any supplies that were no longer needed on-site.

A sense of urgency to return home began to permeate the camp.

Kana's gaze returned to the enormous spatial portal.

Inside the door, light and shadow shifted, and one could vaguely sense the aftershocks of energy emanating from the battlefield deeper within.

Through his rule-level vision, he could clearly "see" that the order occupancy rate of the 1316th layer of Steel Ash Wasteland, under the full-scale promotion of the gods and the allied forces, had firmly broken through the 70% mark and was still slowly but steadily climbing.

New bloodbath fortresses are rising from that desolate land of steel, and the power of order is spreading like wildfire into the deeper, darker abyss.

However, all these grand subsequent wars were no longer his primary battlefield at this moment.

The crystals in his hands, tightly wrapped in data runes, contained energy and symbolic meaning that were far more crucial than any gain or loss at the abyss level.

Popper and his team's long-awaited plan for a divine kingdom on Earth needs this purest energy foundation, forged from the flames of war in the abyss, to enter a new and decisive phase.

It's time to go home.

Kana turned around, his silver-white figure standing out serenely amidst the bustling camp.

The spatial matrix coordinates of the Blood Pit Fortress lit up in his mind, and a barely perceptible spatial ripple began to spread around him. (End of Chapter)
