The entire process was busy and swift.
Whether it was Gloria or the Princess, both had an inexplicable look of satisfaction on their faces as they harvested these diamonds. Perhaps for women, these gems truly were an irresistible temptation, even for deities.
Perhaps because there were simply too many diamonds to take in, Soren had begun to feel a bit numb.
The interior of the diamond asteroid was rich in gem resources, almost comparable to the core regions of the Elemental Plane of Earth. It is known that in the core of the Elemental Plane, Earth Giants often use gems as food. Additionally, the meteorite also contained a large amount of metal, as well as the astral sand that had solidified into a silvery-white solid. As for the most common soil and rock of the Material Plane, they were practically nowhere to be seen due to elemental annihilation. The composition of the semi-crystalline solid material was still unclear, but cutting it felt somewhat like cutting tempered glass, although it was not transparent itself.
Soren directly used divine power to open an internal passage. Cutting the entire meteorite would take at least a month, but the protective energy barrier would not last that long.
As he delved deeper into the meteorite, the radiation energy he felt grew stronger. When he finally reached the interior of the meteorite, a black, eerie crystal appeared before him. It was a massive annihilation material like nothing he had seen before, its original structure completely collapsed and reconstituted. Soren peeled away the surrounding metal and then cut it out separately, but when he reached out to touch it, his expression changed.
“Such strong negative energy!”
Soren tried to draw it into the demiplane, but a terrible weight crashed down, causing him to frown and murmur, “This strange weight is just a bit illogical.”
The black eerie crystal was about the height of a person, yet its weight surpassed three thousand tons!
This was simply unbelievable.
—“Divine Form!”
A golden radiance enveloped Soren as he opened a spatial gate along with his small demiplane and then threw it inside.
As the eerie black crystal entered the demiplane, it released a strong amount of negative energy. Since the demiplane was not yet fully formed, placing it inside immediately caused a mutation to occur.
“What is this?”
Soren looked at his demiplane in surprise and murmured, “The gravity is continuously increasing! The concentration of negative energy is also on the rise!”
“One times gravity.”
“Two times gravity.”
“Three times gravity.”
“Four times gravity.”
“Five times gravity.”
As the eerie black crystal gradually fused with the demiplane, the increase in gravity began to stabilize. The gravity at the periphery of the demiplane was around twice that of normal, with the gravity increasing as one approached the center, eventually rising from three times to five times.
“Hmm?”
Soren seemed to have thought of something and softly said, “If I can increase the gravity, I wonder if I can transform this demiplane into a training ground?”
His demiplane was independent of the Divine Kingdom.
The Divine Kingdom was a realm brought about by divine profession and godhood, while the demiplane was created by Soren’s Wizard Profession Level, meaning it belonged to an independent small space. He could allow any outsiders to enter, unlike the Divine Kingdom, which only permitted his Prayer Weavers. This provided a great deal of operational space; the gravity of the demiplane was the same as that of the Material Plane. If Soren wanted to increase the gravity, he would need to expand the passage to the Elemental Plane of Earth by several tens of times, which would require an enormous amount of divine power; otherwise, it would take decades or even hundreds of years.
Now, the basic gravity within the demiplane had already been established.
Soren just needed to use his divine power, [Change Space], to easily configure it, transforming the demiplane into a training ground.
The effect of high-gravity training on melee professionists was quite significant. Although it was difficult for Soren to increase his own abilities at this level, it would be much easier for ordinary people to enhance their basic capabilities. However, there was also a problem: Soren needed to suppress its energy radiation. This could be greatly minimized in the underground core, and the properties of the demiplane itself were enough for Soren to counteract some of the negative energy erosion. However, that meant low-tier professionists would not be able to enter; even to practice in the outermost area, they would need to have a profession level of at least 10, while the core area would require a legendary professionist.
………………
As Soren removed the core within, the radiation energy from the meteorite quickly diminished.
Next, Gloria’s joyful voice came through: “The radiation energy on the surface of the meteorite has dropped to normal levels; essentially, ordinary people will not suffer significant harm now.”
“However, there are still some materials containing negative energy.”
“They should come from the lower planes; they just need to be stored separately.”
The lower planes had many dangerous materials, but at the same time, they were also quite rare.
“Hmm.”
The Princess had a very pleasant expression at this moment, rarely giving Soren a smile akin to a warm spring breeze, quietly saying, “The gains this time are quite good. Just from the diamonds we have mined so far, we have recovered the initial costs. These diamonds will help us deal with many matters.”
Currently, the amount mined was less than one percent, but it had already compensated for the initial expenditure of setting up the barrier to create the floating ring.
This meant that aside from the annihilation material Soren had harvested, the profits from the diamonds alone had exceeded a hundredfold, and the closer they got to the interior, the higher the chance of finding precious materials.
“Perhaps we should let go of a portion.”
At this point, Gloria spoke up: “Currently, the price of diamonds in the Material Plane is still high, and the Wizard Alliance has a significant demand for diamonds. Perhaps we can quietly sell some of them to exchange for Gind and resources.”
The price of gems should drop during times of war.
But!
In this world, there are professions like wizards, whose research relies on accumulating gold, silver, and gemstones.
The situation in the Material Plane has always been one of tightening currency. Although gold has a vast supply, it circulates very little. Every year, more gold from other planes flows into the Material Plane, yet the total amount of gold still barely maintains itself. The same applies to gems and other resources; wizards themselves are consumers. In the midst of the Saint’s Cataclysm, gems have, in some sense, become a resource for military readiness, and prices have continued to rise. Not to mention that within the multiverse, there are giant dragons that only intake and do not release, leading to the current price of diamonds being about thirty percent higher than before. The most important reason is that the Wizard Alliance is preparing to create Diamond Golems.
“We should sell a batch first.”
At this moment, the Princess also nodded and said: “Currently, we cannot possibly digest so many diamonds, so it’s best to sell off a batch now.”
