The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 823 - 539: Divine Domain Prototype (2)

"That’s like draining the pond to catch the fish."

The four listened thoughtfully.

Li Jiatu lifted his head, examined Lin Guang’s expression, and once again wore that old fox-like smile.

"You really don’t intend to sell it... Kid, do you already have a plan?"

Lin Guang paused, gazing at the principal’s eye with its scrutinizing look, deliberately pondered for a moment, then calmly said two words.

"I plan to use it to create a Divine Domain prototype."

At these words.

Li Jiatu’s smile faded a bit, the seed in his hand spun around: "Oh, are you sure?"

He looked at Lin Guang, interested: "Did something provoke you on this trip out?"

Lin Guang sighed helplessly: "Every time it’s intense battles, seed burst, cosmos explosion, exhausting efforts to figure out weaknesses, and then more intense battles..."

A deep dark golden flame flashed briefly in his eyes, and he glanced at the four partners.

"Being bullied by sheer size is not pleasant."

Vishdair nodded in deep agreement.

—Faced with a bunch of trash with only one or two Dao Marks, Lin Guang’s team clearly possessed far more Dao Marks than them, but in battle, they had no significant advantage.

They have to consider venue factors, timing, harmony, even luck.

Dao Marks are a manifestation of life’s essence.

Logically speaking, against opponents of such caliber, shouldn’t it be about crushing them with overwhelming power and high grid position?

Shouldn’t it be about extinguishing their final delusions with untouchable might, demonstrating unreachable strength, and delivering death and destruction in the most direct method?

Yet...

In reality, it’s often dragged into the tense situation of a prolonged war of attrition.

The reason is simple.

Because the size gap brought by ranks is ultimately too large.

Four-Star fighting Six-Star invariably encounters such problems.

However, Li Jiatu shook his head: "I understand your thinking, but I don’t recommend it."

"It is indeed suitable material, but do you know how much manpower, resources, and funds need to be invested?"

"It might even hinder your own cultivation."

Lin Guang nodded, not at all surprised.

"I know, so I need the school’s help."

He reached out, pointed at the "Buddha’s Scripture of the Mountain Shifting": "The school’s earnings from this scripture."

"Not enough, too far off."

Li Jiatu shook his head, "This is different from supporting your cultivation resources, it’s a completely bottomless pit; aiming for a Divine Domain looks beautiful, but the difficulty is unimaginably high."

"I have mastered the Source Stone, for me this is not impossible."

Lin Guang’s expression remained unchanged: "Also, my achievements and income from this array improvement are the same."

"..."

"I have some results awaiting verification, they are included as well."

Lin Guang’s words flowed: "This is all upfront investment; later, when I have the capability, I can increase it myself."

Next moment, his slender right hand spread over the desk.

Six crystalline transparent gems, fist-sized and emitting an inexplicable aura, appeared on the desk.

Non-attribute, or rather, all-attribute six-star Divine Objects.

"Five-Colored Jing Stone."

One of the most important prizes in the state competition.

He looked at Li Jiatu: "Besides, I also have this; the initial cultivation should be sufficient."

"I am only Four-Star, I don’t intend to become a giant in one go, step by step."

The eyes of the girls were filled with unusual glimmers.

They were unfamiliar with the term ’Divine Domain prototype.’

But...

They were very familiar with Lin Guang, aware of the family’s remaining assets.

It could be said that with this, Lin Guang had almost emptied all his secret savings, showing his determination.

But for what reason?

And looking at Lin Guang’s unwavering and unaffected gaze, Li Jiatu finally slowly curled his lips.

"You kid really know everything, since that’s the case, I won’t stop you."

"Afterwards, you should find Jing Ning."

Chelina, somewhat puzzled, her orange eyes flickered: asking: "Divine Domain prototype... what is it?"

Li Jiatu flicked and returned the seed to Lin Guang, then slowly began to explain.

"You’ve visited the ’Artificial Divine Domain’ quite a few times. What impressions do you have?"

Lisa thought for a while: "It feels... like the whole world... is helping?"

—There, everyone can have their wishes fulfilled; a thought becomes reality, it feels like everything is aiding your cause,

"Yes, that’s right."

Li Jiatu nodded: "That’s roughly the sensation."

"Or you could describe that sensation with a term more understandable for you..."

"Secret Realm Master."

The five were slightly stunned.

The old man pointed to the Secret Realm seed.

"After being contracted by a Spirit Master, usually, Spirit Beasts can’t serve as Secret Realm Master and Leader of the Clan; even in the best-case scenario, they can’t enjoy the full bonus."

Zumama was somewhat curious—she never cared about this knowledge, finding it odd only when mentioned: "Why is that?"

He answered calmly: "The answer is simple..."

"Because the Spirit Master’s talent and Sea of Spirit are equivalent to the essence and fragments from a world."

"The blessing principle of a Secret Realm Master and Leader of the Clan is similar to the Spirit Master’s talent blessing principle; generally, rules between different worlds conflict, naturally preventing seamless stacking."

"That’s why Spirit Masters generally can’t be Secret Realm Masters."

"But there’s an exception."

"That’s when a Spirit Master personally nurtures something perfectly matching their true intent, their contractual partner."
