Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 2065 - 2065. Workshops

Expanding a world was a tricky process, and it had different requirements depending on the type of power that it contained. Noah's ethereal darkness had pure potential as its fuel, so incredible feats spread his influence.

Of course, the amount of expansion depended on the nature of the feat. Slaughtering countless magical beasts or cultivators at his level wouldn't do much since he had already stepped into a superior realm. He needed to do more than that to experience substantial improvements.

Heaven and Earth's evolution and the current state of the world prevented Noah from doing as he wished. The rulers were benefitting from his incredible power and feats, and the weak sky stopped him from finding suitable targets.

Moreover, Noah had already accomplished wonders. He had robbed the Mortal Lands hidden inside the void, he had invaded the sky, and he had caused an apocalyptic event. The higher plane couldn't offer anything else except for deeper areas inside the white layer. Even if he wanted to create a mess, he wouldn't have a hard time understanding where to start.

His idea to spread his influence through seeds planted inside magical beasts or similar creatures still sounded like the best option in his current situation. Yet, Noah had never chosen the slow and careful path in his second life. He wanted to avoid diving into apocalyptic events, but he also desired to escape the countless years that simple seclusions would require to improve.

Wandering throughout the weak sky also felt too slow. Noah would eventually run into other packs, similar forces, or lone experts, but that remained too slow for his tastes. It was easier to attract those beings instead of searching for them in that vast environment.

Noah didn't immediately resume his journey. The drawbacks of his ambition had started to affect his centers of power, so he had expanded his greed and hunger to appease those adverse effects.

The weak sky had shattered alongside the fabric of space. Noah had remained among the void. His mere influence could open a passage toward a dimension that was probably outside Heaven and Earth's influence, but he couldn't do much with that. The event only showed him how far he had gone and how little that powerful energy could help him.

Still, the blackness of the void gave Noah an idea. He had already created a landmass inside Heaven and Earth's world. He could do the same among that weak whiteness, but the purpose of that new home had to be different.

Noah didn't want to be with other experts during that part of his journey, but isolating himself wasn't a good solution either. The environment also prevented him from hunting down every Tribulation Heaven and Earth sent toward packs or other powerful forces. Yet, he could create something similar to small inheritances during his travel.

'Most magical beasts would try to devour the inheritance instead of benefitting from its real power,' Noah thought as soon as that idea began to take form in his mind. 'Other rank 9 cultivators would probably do something similar since my influence can put their world at risk.'

Noah couldn't limit himself to a mass of benefits that forced other beings to improve according to his ambition. The magical beasts wouldn't have problems accepting that, but other experts couldn't simply allow him to tinker with their worlds. According to the lizards, his fame was incredible, but he would also hesitate to accept such influential inheritances in the ninth rank.

The experts had to accept his influence willingly, and he also had to reduce its forceful influence. Noah had to put eventual worlds in the position where refusing would be idiotic. He had to give away free power that didn't cause any negative influence on eventual beings.

'The cultivators would never eat an unknown item,' Noah admitted as he shot toward an intact area and released his destruction to clear most of the weak sky in his surroundings.

The dark world unfolded from his figure as he let his thoughts run wild. It wasn't his style to create something that didn't affect the matter forcefully, but he had to compromise since the project didn't involve himself.

The workshop activated as his figure became the home to multiple pulling forces. Duanlong, Shafu, his hunger, and his greed began to spread their influence, and the dark world enhanced their effects. The technique transformed them into vortices that affected farther areas of the weak sky and turned them into energy that flowed among the crystals of dark matter.

Meanwhile, Noah started to perform a few tests. The energy inside his ethereal blackness was perfect for his project. His world contained pure potential capable of improving everything. Even Heaven and Earth would benefit from it if he didn't exist as a flaw of their system.

The first hurdle in the process came from the very nature of his potential. That energy forced the matter and everything else to improve, but Noah needed to turn that feature into an option to please eventual worlds too scared of adverse effects.

Solving that issue forced Noah to dissect his potential until he developed a theoretically harmless version. That energy was obviously weaker than what raged inside his world since it had lost part of its nature. Still, eventual cultivators would find it easier to accept since it could work as a free boost. No one would refuse something that provided benefits without asking anything in return nor cause negative consequences.

The second hurdle came from his targets. Noah wanted to create something unique for magical beasts, cultivators, and hybrids since their power required different approaches. Yet, he had to compromise there too.

The main issue there came from his lack of knowledge about his targets. With the lizards, Noah had the chance to study their bodies thoroughly before developing an organ that suited their species and the modifications obtained in the ninth rank perfectly. That was impossible when he wasn't directly next to potential heirs, but he could reach satisfying results anyway.

Noah used his dense mental waves to create a series of wills that had specific purposes. They would have to study eventual heirs and use the workshop to apply the final modifications to the seeds that spread his influence. The magical beasts would get organs, the humans tattoos, and the hybrid a mixture of both.

The testing phase didn't take long. The initial hurdle had been the harshest part to solve, but Noah already had experience in everything else, so coming up with something final had been easy.

His product came out as a quasi-living workshop that spread his influence by sucking the weak sky in its surroundings dry. It couldn't affect the fabric of space because Noah had made sure that its power only targeted the white material. Also, it could go dormant when Heaven and Earth stopped restoring the area.

The quasi-living workshop had the shape of a chest-sized black sphere. It didn't need to be big. Actually, that size would help it remain hidden from Heaven and Earth's inspections. Its purpose was to accumulate energy from its surroundings and generate incomplete fake cores before storing them in its insides.

The workshop wouldn't create fake cores endlessly. It would fill its insides and let the items spread Noah's influence throughout the world. In theory, it could expand if Heaven and Earth and other experts left it at full power for too long, but he hoped that the situation never reached that point.

Whenever a potential heir got near the quasi-living workshop, the will inside the dark matter would activate to inspect the target. The final modification would take place at that point, and a fake core would come out.

Noah had also created countermeasures meant for those trying to seize his creation to study it.. His wills would detonate the fake cores and spread his influence throughout the weak sky at first sight of danger.
