章 56: Metal - 56
Zhou Fan spent the next few days experimenting with formations. Throughout that time, he estimated that he used every bit of metal around the cave.
After a week, Zhou Fan was confident enough to make a lasting formation that could release a reasonable amount of demon and fire Qi.
Zhou Fan had managed to discover that different patterns and different amounts of Qi were able to induce different effects.
He had discovered some ways to attack, some ways to defend, and some ways to enhance abilities.
Sadly, the formations were not powerful enough to enhance his own abilities, but for someone in foundation establishment or early core formation, they could be very useful.
As Zhou Fan prepared to make a much more powerful formation using much more metal, he realized that he had used up all the big metal veins around the cave. All that remained were small deposits.
Zhou Fan first thought to go back to the mountain he had stayed on for a while since he guessed that there should be some metal there.
However, Zhou Fan didn't want to destroy the mountain or put the miners out of business.
As a result, Zhou Fan decided to go to the sword empire and collect all the metal on the biggest mountain there.
He naturally hadn't randomly chosen the mountain. From the books he read 60 years ago, he recalled that one of the biggest mountains in the world resided in the sword empire, or more accurately, the 2nd biggest.
Although the biggest mountain would be nice, it was inhabited by hundreds of thousands of humans.
If he took the metal out of it, the mountain may collapse and even Zhou Fan wasn't confident in saving 100,000 people in an instant.
As Zhou Fan confirmed his choice, he flew up and sped to the mountain at full speed.
It only took 30 minutes to get to the sword empire, which was 2 entire empires away.
Even Zhou Fan didn't expect to be so fast now that he was in soul formation. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could go around the world in a minute.
It only took 10 more minutes to reach the mountain. If his divine sense was bigger, Zhou Fan could quickly check if anyone was living there. Unfortunately, he was still too weak.
Zhou Fan inwardly lamented at the fact that he had to manually check the entire mountain. Of course, the option of not caring was there as well, but Zhou Fan wasn't a monster.
There was a 30% chance that the mountain would collapse after he took the metal away, and anyone on it would quickly die.
Therefore, Zhou Fan made sure that there was no one around or near the entire mountain, which took another 30 minutes, before he started.
Zhou Fan flew to the middle of the mountain where he felt that the metal was at its densest, and controlled some metal Qi to pull all of it out of the mountain.
The mountain quickly burst apart as a huge vein emerged. The vein reached from the top of the mountain to the bottom and from side to side. The people in the nearest kingdom were astonished to see the humongous mountain collapse in an instant.
It had stood tall since their grandparents' grandparents ancestors lived in the kingdom, and yet it fell without warning today.
They weren't the only ones alarmed. Zhou Fan too felt astonished at the events. However, he was less surprised about the mountain's collapse and more surprised about the amount of metal within it.
Contrary to his previous estimates, more than 50% of the mountain was made of metal. That was a long shot from the 5% he previously estimated.
There was a high likelihood that this was the biggest metal vein in the world! Zhou Fan suddenly didn't feel so bad about not being able to excavate the biggest mountain.
Zhou Fan didn't waste too much more time before he began to compress the metal. It took a lot more effort due to the fact that it was more than 100 times bigger than any of the other ores he messed with.
If there wasn't a huge sheet of dust from the mountains collapse, the people in the distance would be astonished to see an unimaginable amount of metal being 'shrunk' into a cube no bigger than an average person's head.
As for Zhou Fan, he was astonished to see that he couldn't compress the plate anymore. A head sized cube seemed to be the limit of his strength right now. Even so, Zhou Fan didn't lament.
With its current shape, Zhou Fan would be able to draw formations on each of the 6 sides. With the unexpected discovery, Zhou Fan felt a lot less disappointed about his strength.
Since he didn't plan to inscribe upon it here, Zhou Fan let the cube float beside him.
As he looked down at the destruction below him, Zhou Fan waved his hand and controlled the earth Qi to rebuild the mountain. Within a minute, it was good as new if you ignored the loss of metal.
Once he finished, Zhou Fan disappeared into a blur and moved towards the cave at his highest speed.
Not long after he left, the dust cleared up and the people from the nearby kingdom were flabbergasted to see the uncollapsed mountain. As their minds buzzed, a few people were able to connect the unexplainable event with God.
Once again, rumors of God spread around the world.
The next day, the sword empire announced that they were making godism their official religion. Although somewhat surprising, nobody could say that it was unexpected.
Although the sword empire had been stubbornly refusing to 'submit to god', God had just arrived at their doorstep.
In the face of the unexplainable, even they had to kneel. Of course, it was all a misunderstanding. Zhou Fan had no intention to scare them into practicing godism.
In fact, he still didn't know much about the spread of Godism throughout the world.
