"Weini..."
Su Lin recalled for a moment.
"The witch from the Olyana Kingdom who likes to draw erotic art?"
"Exactly. And to correct you, her erotic art mainly features men with men."
"...You don't need to add such ear-splitting details."
"Hehehe, actually it's quite good..."
Without giving Hilulele a chance to finish, Su Lin manually helped her shut up, letting Lop take over.
A moment later, he had learned a bit more about the Elven Kingdom.
The Elven Queens hid in a temple beneath the Ancient Elven Tree. While using the Ancient Elven Tree to avoid the gaze of the Heavens, they also used it to probe the Heavens.
Tashiniya, a ready-made Archangel from the Heavens who was one step away from deification, openly arrived in the Elven Kingdom.
On the very first day, she was already targeted by those Elven Queens.
Tashiniya was enveloped by the protection of the Heavens, and her existence on the Aetheram Continent was essentially like a flower in a mirror or the moon in water.
Scientifically speaking, it was like 'Schrödinger's Cat'.
Tashiniya was in a state between being passively drawn in and actively repelled by the Heavens, and this state was quite stable.
Simply put, she couldn't be drawn back to the Heavens at all.
Upon learning this, the Elven Queens redoubled their efforts to observe Tashiniya's unique qualities.
But this observation revealed a problem.
"The state of that witch Weini is very similar to that of Lady Tashiniya."
Hearing Lop say this, Su Lin's curiosity immediately soared.
"Is she also a god?"
"Unclear, but she must have some connection to a deity. The Queens say that Witch Weini is protected by divine laws, and at the very least, she might be a God's Favored..."
"One squad, two people connected to the Heavens?"
The Aetheram Continent is quite special, so favored by the gods of the Heavens?
Su Lin clicked his tongue.
No wonder the Tasiniya Demon Subjugation Squad ran rampant on the Aetheram Continent, with no one daring to interfere.
They were more than just Celestial Dragons—
They were the Five Elders.
Seeing Su Lin silent for a long time, Aelita poked him.
"Su Lin, what's your plan? Do you still want to interact with them?"
"Given the mystery of the MC Dungeon, if it's noticed by the Heavens, it might not be a good thing."
An infinitely evolving Dungeon, where each floor is a world—the implications of this need no further explanation.
To the people of the Heavens, newly ascended outsiders might just be taking jobs, but the MC Dungeon, that's digging up the roots of the Heavens.
Coincidentally, Su Lin actually had such intentions... He had already set his sights on the many worlds owned by the Heavens, as one Aetheram Continent wasn't enough for him to mess around with.
Su Lin didn't care about the Heavens' scrutiny.
The MC Dungeon wasn't that simple; it wasn't a Nether that the Heavens could casually deal with.
Su Lin indeed kept talking about the MC Dungeon every day, but... when the fourth floor, ice and fire legend, was created, the option on the control panel was 'Create World'.
"Compared to that, I'm more interested in the strength of the Heavens' gods."
"This... it's not as exaggerated as the continental legends say."
Hilulele scratched her head, then confidently raised her head.
"According to the successive Queens, the Heavens have their own laws. For gods to descend, either their power is sealed, or they can only project their presence."
"Projections are strong, but they are not our match. Moreover, with the arrogance of the Heavens' gods, they rarely pay attention to the Nether."
"Compared to me?"
Su Lin looked at Hilulele with interest.
"As for you..."
After a moment of contemplation, Hilulele looked at him with an expression like she was seeing a monster.
"Completely unobservable. To use the Queens' words, you are a 'constantly changing individual that cannot be observed.' This situation has never occurred, not even with other Dungeon guides..."
"What kind of talk is that!"
Su Lin indignantly slapped his thigh.
"Am I some kind of Cthulhu!"
"Hiss..."
Aelita covered her thigh, gasping in pain, her face full of agony.
"That hurts! Don't you have your own legs, you guy?"
"Yours are smoother, and I'm more afraid of pain."
Su Lin replied as a matter of course, then pressed on:
"So, you can't determine what level my power is at?"
"Indeed."
Beixi nodded helplessly.
"In the Ancient Elven Tree's magic network, you yourself don't even exist, let alone being observed and judged. However, according to the Queens..."
"Your power and physique contain extremely terrifying and constantly evolving divine factors. In other words... your power itself might be a divine law."
Su Lin was somewhat mentally prepared for this result.
After all, Steve was sometimes a Creator God.
But... power law?
What, did he become Pangu?
In any case, with such a result, he could relax a little. The Heavens were not an issue for now, and the plan to get Tashiniya and her team to abandon the darkness and join his side was not unfeasible.
Perhaps when he goes to the Heavens to check out their hero reincarnation channel, he might even find his old home... After a moment of thought, Su Lin became serious.
"I will personally contact Tashiniya and her team later. Hilulele, you go release some information to the Lucania Kingdom. The specifics, we'll discuss after I meet them."
"Also, the Elven Kingdom's new batch of troops can now be stationed."
A considerable number of elites sent by the Elven Kingdom had entered, but most of them were stationed and developing on the fourth floor.
Only a small portion remained to develop essential resources on the first three floors.
This was also the Aetheram Continent's usual style for exploring Dungeons; in their view, lower-level Dungeons were superior to upper-level ones.
But this process wasn't suitable for the MC Dungeon.
The resources on the first floor were also very important, such as finding Woodland Mansions and Pillager Outposts, and figuring out how to create Totem of Undying farms.
The few Totems of Undying he currently possessed gave him no sense of security at all.
"The new batch of troops will temporarily remain on floors one to three, fully developing the resources on these three floors, with a focus on finding and developing the resource points I've marked."
Taking the manual and glancing at it, Lop nodded readily.
"Yes, within three days, a troop of three thousand will arrive at the MC Dungeon. After two days of training, they can begin work."
"Very good. The research and development of Redstone Technology must not fall behind either. Let the researchers be even bolder with their imagination."
"Especially the Heavenly Dragon-Slaying Cannon. It's been days, and it's still not made? The efficiency is too poor!"
Ever since many practical Redstone Technology items were developed, Su Lin had tasked the researchers with figuring out the Heavenly Dragon-Slaying Cannon.
Three or four days had passed, and the research institute still had no progress!
Were his requirements not clear enough?
Lop opened his mouth, looking a little despondent.
To be fair... a piece of paper, with 'Heavenly Dragon-Slaying Cannon' written on it, performance requirements only stating 'awesome,' and synthesis reference only one word—
'Omitted.'
With such requirements, even if the Elven researchers had ten brains each, it would be difficult to align the granularity... Even if the research institute deduced that it might involve TNT stacking and arrows based on the principles of the Redstone Cannon, it was still far off.
Lop was about to subtly suggest to Su Lin that he provide more requirements and references.
A crisp cracking sound, however, interrupted his thoughts.
Turning his head like everyone else, the dragon egg was gone, replaced by a dark red little dragon.
Although it currently looked not even as tall as Hilulele's shin, its dragon might was already beginning to show.
"It actually hatched in just a few minutes!"
Aelita exclaimed in surprise, and Su Lin was stunned.
"So you didn't believe anything I said just now, right?"
"Well... it was too outrageous, after all, but that's not important! Su Lin, quickly tame it!"
"No need."
He raised his hand and beckoned, and the dark red little dragon naturally flew to his shoulder and sat there obediently.
This made Hilulele very excited.
Grabbing Su Lin's arm, she stood on tiptoe, constantly peering at and examining the fire dragon.
Its strength was quite average, at most comparable to an adventurer around Lv15, but considering the little guy had just been born... it was already very impressive.
Of course, for Hilulele, whether its strength was strong or not wasn't important; what was important was that it had to be fierce!
Look at this little fire dragon, its narrow and sharp dragon eyes, its sharp claws, its dragon scales that felt a bit rough but were exceptionally solid!
Especially the look in its eyes after being touched by someone other than its owner—a mix of disdain and annoyance, annoyance mixed with warning, and a hint of threat within the warning.
"It's beautiful!"
Hilulele looked infatuated.
She could already imagine the fierce and awe-inspiring appearance of this little guy when it grew up.
"Baby, you're just a hard little cake..."
"..."
This elf definitely has some serious issues.
However, this time, Aelita's aesthetic surprisingly aligned with Hilulele's.
Although the fire dragon wasn't a fluffy little creature, it had a handsome and domineering appearance, especially its current docile look squatting on Su Lin's shoulder.
"So cute!"
"A little fire dragon sitting on its owner's shoulder, what an unexpectedly adorable contrast."
Hearing this, Su Lin placed the fire dragon on the ground and returned Aelita a meaningful smile.
"Cute, isn't it? Cherish its cute time well, and remember its adorable appearance in your heart, Ailili."
"Sometimes, growth is just a matter of an instant."
