"Reporting to the City Lord!"
"We have discovered a place suspected to be a treasure room in the city!"
A soldier dressed in Miracle City's armour ran in front of Chu Tian.
"Treasure room? Bring me over to take a look!"
The Spider Queen had spent most of her life expanding and fighting, going up to the surface world and going down to the Purgatory World. With the mark the Spider Queen had left, how could this kind of ruler not have her own warehouse?
But the scale of the Spider Queen's treasure room had actually dumbfounded Chu Tian.
Although he had already guessed that the Spider Queen was very rich, he never would have thought that she would be this rich. The treasure room was split into six levels and each one was filled with treasures. From all kinds of metals, to pills, to herbs, to divine weapons, this was simply as much as one wanted.
Even Death Wing was startled by the Spider Queen's wealth, "How did this fellow get so much treasure!"
The Spider Queen was the highest ruler of the Subterranean World, all the Subterranean World resources would land in her hand. The Spider Queen's clan had been a powerful clan in the Subterranean World for thousands of years, so would she be lacking in treasures?
Chu Tian used his Divine Sense to sweep through it all.
Although he didn't look carefully, he found several important resources.
There were over ten level three Immortal Herbs as well as quite a substantial amount of Eyes of the Star and other rare materials. The Spider Queen was truly rich in treasures, with many things that even belonged to the surface world and Purgatory World.
Chu Tian remembered the first time he had trouble with the Spider Queen's forces.
It was because a Spider Queen's descendant who wanted the Oldman Mines, not even letting a small town of dwarves go. It could be imagined how greedy these spirit insects were. The Spider Queen was their supreme ruler and most of the stolen resources were sent to the main city in the end.
Of course.
Wealth was constantly changing.
The high grade items the Spider Queen really liked were kept the treasure room and the products whose grades weren't up to match were sent out. Each year there would be quite a bit of things that weren't good enough that were rejected from the treasure room and sent out to make more space for better resources.
"We really gained quite a bit this time!" Chu Tian revealed a look of excitement, "How many spirit stones do you think the things inside here are worth?"
The Dragon Lord who had a unique intuition for treasure spoke up, "I estimate around fifty-sixty million source stones!"
Fifty-sixty million source stones!
This was just the personal treasures of the Spider Queen!
If all the wealth of Alexis City was gathered, how shocking of a number would it be?
"I won't take advantage of you." Chu Tian was very satisfied, "Everyone has a part in this, how about we split it five ways?"
The four giants were stunned.
This was really a large number!
Although the four giants had contributions in taking Alexis City, it all depended on Chu Tian's Space Gate in the end. If they didn't have Miracle City's Space Gate, what did it matter if the four giants had the skills? Miracle City's investment in building the Space Gate was not small.
Therefore even if Chu Tian took a few more portions, the others wouldn't say anything.
But now Chu Tian didn't care about that and directly gave a fair share to the four giants.
This was not a small amount of wealth!
"Everyone supports the Forest Alliance, so there's no need to be polite with me. On this grand occasion for the Forest Alliance, we'll take this wealth as a development fund. I believe that the Forest Alliance will be able to take another step forward internally!" Chu Tian waved his hand, "Let's search around a bit more and see if there's anything special here."
The four giants revealed satisfied expressions.
This was the reason why they liked cooperating with Chu Tian. Chu Tian had a free character, he didn't care about success or failure. With this treasure worth at least fifty million being divided evenly, each side would gain over ten million. This was just wealth, but if they invested into the alliance, the four giants' influence would greatly increase, even easily charging out of the Forest of Chaos!
Even the richest in the forest Nidhogg was filled with excitement!
What about the other three?
The Savage Highlands were relatively poor, so they couldn't compete with the other three sides in this alliance, but this amount was enough to solve their problems. Although the giants were not poor, they consumed quite a bit of resources. There were many things in the Spider Queen's treasure room that the giants needed the most. The Elven King was also the same. The elves were not poor, but for these old fashioned people, most of this wealth couldn't be used, so this income was very important to the Elven King.
"Yi, wait a minute. This is.... . Spider Crystal!"
A box filled with grey crystals appeared in front of him and Chu Tian instantly revealed a look of wild joy. He was even more excited than seeing Immortal Herbs. He immediately ran over and grabbed a handful to look over.
"What kind of material is this?" Even the Titan Thunder's Fury hadn't seen this kind of crystal before, "Is this thing very special?"
The so called rare things are precious.
The Dragon Lord looked over it. This kind of grey crystal, there were over a hundred boxes of them. They didn't look of especially precious material no matter how they were looked at.
"Take a look!"
Chu Tian held a Spider Crystal in his hand and sent his spirit energy into it to activate it. Thousands of glowing strands came out of the Spider Crystal in his hand and scattered around like strands of hair, floating there without scattering.
"The value of the Spider Crystal is that it is an excellent source energy array medium!"
These thousands of strands of spider silk were controlled by his mind and they were like needles in the hands of tailors as they kept intertwining with each other. They came together until they finally gradually formed an incomparably giant source energy array.
The four giants revealed looks of shock.
Chu Tian continued to say, "The higher the quality, the larger the capacity. The crystal in my hand is already enough to create a Source Energy Computing Matrix, which also means that with some Spider Crystals, Miracle Commerce can create an even smaller supercomputer. If we even gather higher quality crystals or combine larger pieces together, we can create a matrix that has ten times or even a hundred times the processing speed. Do you understand the value of this item?"
The Spider Crystal could be used to create arrays.
A large array could be easily stored within a Spider Crystal!
The Spider Crystal didn't have a high value in this era. The reason why the Spider Queen collected this was most likely because of personal preference. It was most likely because the Spider Crystal seemed like it was related to the spider race.
This kind of material played a revolutionary part in the Source Energy Era!
Miracle Commerce's supercomputer research was still ongoing. The Yun Sect had worked hard on optimizing and increasing the computers and although the processing speed was becoming faster, there was no real qualitative changes. This was because several hundred matrices were required for a single computer to work, so the Source Energy Supercomputers couldn't be compressed in the end.
But now the situation was different!
With this new array medium, this small Spider Crystal could easily store hundreds of arrays inside of it. The Spider Crystal itself was a relatively light object, so it was completely possible to use it to create a portable Smart Brain!
If they had large amounts of this material to use, Miracle Commerce would develop an entirely whole new world!
Lancelot said, "Since there are this many Spider Crystals in this treasure room, that means there must be Spider Crystal Mines in the Subterranean World. If we can find these mines, it would have a great significance to the Forest Alliance!"
The other three were thinking the same.
The Spider Crystal in the Spider Queen's treasure room had been refined, which meant that the Subterranean World had already been mining this kind of ore. They were disinclined from looking through the treasures and immediately interrogated some hostages. Finally they found the location of the Spider Crystal Mines.
Spider Crystals were not a rare material in the Subterranean World.
There were over five different Spider Crystal Mines in the Subterranean World alone!
This discovery filled Chu Tian with wild joy, there was unexpectedly such a rich deposit of resources. The new generation of Source Energy Technology would be developed with these Spider Crystals!
Opening the mine could be done slowly.
Chu Tian had to deal with the aftermath first.
The Spider Queen had been taken care of and Alexis City had been taken over, so the Alexis Kingdom's might had greatly fallen. The Alexis Kingdom was the greatest influence and pillar of support in the Subterranean World, so this chaos naturally spread all across the Subterranean World.
There was a variety of reactions from the underground cities, there was anger, happiness, joy, and grief.
The Spider Queen had ruled over the Subterranean World for around one-two hundred years, so naturally there were descendants and loyal subjects that tried to take revenge. Only what met them were the wild thunders of Titans or the death shadows of giant dragon wings.
Although there was some resistance, it was not worth mentioning at all.
They were easily dealt with before long.
The spirit insects were not humans, they didn't have civilizations or culture, or boring things like honour. Just like the dark races and the demons of the Purgatory World, the Subterranean World spirit insects worshipped experts or races with supreme power. They were races that submitted rather easily to power.
After the Forest Alliance swept through the cities that didn't yield and displayed their powerful battle strength, the other cities all holed up like turtles and didn't dare move against the Forest Alliance.
Alexis City had been destroyed, could they be stronger than the Spider Queen?
It was strange how Alexis City had been destroyed. The Forest Alliance army seemed to have suddenly appeared underground and appeared in the center of the Subterranean World, without raising any attention from a single spirit insect. There was no doubt this was a very strange matter.
There were more and more rumours about the Forest Alliance. The Forest Alliance army could suddenly appear in Alexis City, then they could appear in front of any spirit insect City Lord. Even the powerful Spider Queen had collapsed with one hit, how could they even face the Forest Alliance?
Once the Subterranean World lost the Spider Queen, the entire power structure had completely shifted.
The spirit insect City Lords were already secretly surrendering to the Forest Alliance because the spirit insects knew that even though the Forest Alliance had defeated the Alexis Kingdom, it was impossible for the Forest Alliance to control the Subterranean World. They would definitely support some of the local powers, so now was the time to use this loophole.
Chu Tian seized this chance to split the Alexis Kingdom into several parts. That way the Subterranean World would still be filled with chaos, but they wouldn't pose a threat to the surface world. When they became more stable in the future, they would be limited by Miracle City and Miracle Commerce, so they wouldn't dare and wouldn't have the ability to rebel.
Might as well go all in!
After taking care of the Subterranean World, he also took care of the Purgatory World!
Death Wing and Burst Claw had already commanded their armies to find the passages into the Purgatory World. There was already the space fort for the Forest Alliance in the Purgatory World, so their armies could be stationed there long term. They could protect their current territory in the Purgatory World while also nibbling at the other territories.
The Purgatory World had less people than the Subterranean World and their powers were much more separated, but there were more experts in the Purgatory World than in the Subterranean World. It would be a bit more troublesome to deal with them, but with experts like Burst Claw and Death Wing, this little bit of trouble could be easily solved.
