A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 2024: 586 Golden Ship missions_2

Matthew thought the plan was already dead, but unexpectedly Ronan was handling it!

“Can you reveal a little about the Golden Ship?”

He asked cautiously.

Matthew didn’t expect Ronan to reveal much, after all, from the information he gathered and the reactions of Isabelle and others, the secrecy level of this plan was very high, probably only spellcasters of the Seven Saint Alliance’s level were qualified to know and participate.

However, Ronan was surprisingly forthright:

“Of course, I can.”

“Where to begin, hmm, you should know that this plan was actually initiated by the Calamity Mage, as part of the continuation of the ‘Ascension of the Heavenly Palace’.”

“Of course, it was after the Great Tearing that we obtained some information left by the Calamity Mage from each of our Seven Saint legacies, the most crucial part of which included the ‘Golden Ship’ plan.”

“Back in the day, the Calamity Mage had already predicted the worst possibility of the Days of Heavenly Change, the collapse of order.”

“She foresaw the dangerous situation of the current Multiverse—”

“If you are proficient in astrology and plane studies, you should have observed that in the half year since the Great Tearing, our world is becoming increasingly flat.”

“For the naked eye, this trend is not yet evident, but from a macro perspective of the entire Multiverse, this trend has become alarmingly intense!”

“Above the ruins of the Heavenly Family Palace, the high-dimension high-energy zone is continuously sliding downward, and besides high-dimension high-energy matter, more harmful substances are seeping down from other dimensions, most of which are extremely heavy, directly causing the original Heavenly Realm area to keep sinking.”

“Below the Bridge of All Life, however, the circumstances in the Gray Star Realm are completely opposite.”

“The height of the tides of the dark domain, signifying the boundary of the Gray Star Realm, is getting increasingly closer to the bridge surface, and at this rate, it is likely that in less than ten years, the Bridge of All Life will be fully submerged in the Gray Star Realm, after which the tides of the dark domain will directly approach the Nine Tier Purgatory and Bottomless Abyss.”

“This is a phenomenon of great concern.”

“It means our universe is collapsing, or being compressed longitudinally.”

“Our living space has become smaller, and the Chaos Storm continues to expand, it’s a harbinger of destruction…”

Accompanying Ronan’s narration.

Matthew could almost visualize the collapsing Multiverse in his mind.

He couldn’t help but ask:

“Is this related to the giant beasts?”

Ronan nodded:

“For the production of more heat.”

“The flight of the giant beasts requires unimaginable heat, and under the interference of some external force, our universe is moving towards this depleting direction.”

“There is a theory that Aindor is a huge breeding ground, and the giant beasts are the species introduced to breed inside, while we are merely the fleas on the giant beasts, incidental products destined to be ignored—not even worthy as sacrificial fragments.”

“In such situations, the Golden Ship plan was born.”

“Before departing, the Calamity Mage had already built the framework of the Golden Ship in the floating city’s Demiplane, and once it is fully completed, it will become an unbelievably magical ship—no, the core structure of the ship can no longer be described as magic, it is a miracle that only the Calamity Mage could achieve.”

Matthew, curious, asked:

“What is the Golden Ship for?”

Ronan patiently said:

“To alleviate the trend of a flattening universe.”

“Specifically, the Golden Ship will set off in three years, departing from Aindor upwards, taking six months to reach the high-energy high-dimension zone.”

“It will gather ultra-heavy matter descending from higher dimensions to repair the plane deficiencies caused by the fall of the Heavenly Family Palace and carry out a series of explorations in the ruins of the Heavenly Realm.”

“Two and a half to three years later, the Golden Ship will descend to the edge of the Gray Star Realm.”

“It will release the ultra-heavy matter absorbed from the Heavenly Realm when the tides of the dark domain surge, thereby calming the expansion of the Gray Star Realm.”

“By the way, the spellcasters on board might also be tasked with hunting some astral world creatures.”

“The Golden Ship may sail along the edge of the Gray Star Realm for about six years before returning to Aindor for a once-a-decade crew rotation.”

“If successful, the Golden Ship will regularly patrol the Heavenly Realm and the astral world in a ten-year cycle.”

“This is to alleviate the trend of the universe’s flattening, also considered as the Alliance’s show of force.”

“This journey could be exceptionally perilous, so we must be fully prepared before departing.”

So that’s what the Golden Ship is for?

Matthew suddenly understood.

Wait!

This job clearly sounds like a tough one, so why are tickets for the Golden Ship so expensive?

Matthew directly voiced his doubt.

Ronan chuckled:

“Being able to board the Golden Ship itself represents an opportunity.”

“Many spellcasters spend their entire lives unable to delve into such areas as the Heavenly Realm ruins or the Gray Star Realm to explore the mysteries of the universe and obtain the rare materials in those locations because astral travel is too risky for them.”

“But riding the Golden Ship is different; the risks faced by the ship’s crew are relatively much lower.”

“Moreover, the Calamity Mage left a somewhat obscure prophecy.”

“I won’t go into detail, but the content decoded from that prophecy is—”

“For spellcasters who participated in the Golden Ship mission, if the Calamity Mage one day returns to Aindor, even if you had died long ago, she would resurrect you through recalling the Golden Ship and grant you an opportunity to make a wish to her.”

“This prophecy sounds a bit mysterious, and we privately think it’s all just deceptive, but… that Calamity Mage, maybe she really could do something so outlandish.”

“Thus, each boarding opportunity is precious.”

“As for the fee, cough, you have to understand, the Alliance’s funds are a bit tight currently, and even though the core work was set up by the Calamity Mage, the later stages require us to fill in a lot, so charging some money is reasonable.”

Are the spellcasters participating in the Golden Ship’s universe patrol mission having a chance to be resurrected by the Calamity Mage after death?

Matthew also found it unreliable.

It has a bit of the flavor of gods deceiving their followers.

Considering that the Golden Ship and this prophecy were not directly left by the Calamity Mage, but rather information Ronan claimed the Seven Saints received from their respective inheritances.

Even if Matthew trusted Ronan.

It was still hard to believe in its authenticity.

At most, it’s fifty-fifty.

Maybe other spellcasters are very interested in the shipboard duties.

But the Golden Ship held average appeal for Matthew.

After all, he had visited the Heavenly Realm before.

“So, will there be powerful spellcasters following every Golden Ship mission?”

Matthew asked tentatively.

Ronan nodded:

“The leader for the first mission is already chosen, it’s Mr. Nameless.”

Matthew was somewhat surprised:

“Isn’t he always the one most opposed to the Calamity Mage’s strategy?”

Ronan shook his head:

“That’s not accurate.”

“Their relationship is quite complex.”

“Mr. Nameless, he actually has a deep attachment to his mother, possibly because of a severe lack of maternal love during his upbringing, and his attitude towards the Calamity Mage often swings between two extremes.”

“But this time, his choice to carry out the Calamity Mage’s mission might be connected to some experiences in the vanished historical worlds he encountered… ahem…”

In this aspect.

Even the usually forthright Ronan became vague.

Matthew knew that there was no way he could inquire about this matter.

So he tactfully changed the subject.

After fully understanding the Golden Ship.

Matthew lost interest in this plan.

Inside the barrier.

Edmond was still fiercely fighting Dania.

Matthew couldn’t help stifling a yawn.

But just then.

A sudden gust of wind arose nearby.

A massive shadow leaped from the top of another Tower of Exile, then its wings spread wide, blocking out the sky and flying over!

“The great Wind Demon Dragon!”
