As his mind worked to make the calculations, he thought along, ’The power of Money Body’s Cave Heaven is 8(Rank) × 2,843 million square kilometers(Cave Heaven) × 10(Law Fragments), which is a resounding output of 227,440 units of law fragments.’
’With that kind of power, he can cover a distance of 227,440 light-years in a day. So it should take him 18.994 minutes to cover the distance.’
’As for me, the power output of my Cave Heaven is 6(Rank) × 2,916 million square kilometers(Cave Heaven) × 9(Law Fragments). That is a whopping output of 157,464 units of divine power.’
’With a power output of 157,464 units of divine power, I can cover the distance of 3,000 light-years in 27.43 minutes. So Money Body is still faster than me with the power of his Cave Heaven.’
This output made him shake his head in pity as he thought, ’I’ve lost again.’
Then he perked up mentally, thinking, ’However, the situation is not as grim as it was. I’ve grown much stronger than I was since last time.’
’Last time, the power output of my Cave Heaven was 27,552 light-years, and it would take me 156.8 minutes to cover the distance of 3,000 light-years. So my base power has become 5.72 times what it was in the previous attempt.’
’And this is just our base power. If we invoke the power of our Divine Positions and use our Divine Metacs to mobilize our stats, Money Body might not be able to overpower me.’
This thought brought a confident smile to his lips. The more he thought about the power of his 52 Divine Metacs, the wider that smile became.
As he smiled, he became more confident. He also thought to himself confidently, ’I delayed coming and gave them time to prepare and row stronger. Because of the delay, all of my mission partners have become stronger. But I am no pushover either.’
’At best, they either increased in cultivation rank, raised the power of a stat, or got an extra Divine Position. But not only did I increase the size of my Cave Heaven and gain more Divine Metacs, but I also gained three more Divine Positions. So I’m the one who has grown the malt among the four of us.’
Then he shrugged and thought, ’I’m sure they will disagree that I’ve grown stronger the fastest. I’m also sure Money Body will believe he is the strongest. But time will tell who grew stronger the most and who is the strongest now.’
He was thinking, and so were the other three. It was just that what they were thinking about was a little bit different.
Blood Sword was nervous about the mission, so she was wondering about her chances of death in the mission, and wondering if her strength would be enough to keep her alive.
She didn’t consider whether the mission would be successful or not. What was most important to her was whether she would make it, whether the mission failed or succeeded.
As for Nether Flame, he was excited. This was because he was sure that the mission would be successful, and he was confident that he would be able to survive regardless of the failure or success of the mission.
In fact, Nether Flame was already looking forward to the outcome of the mission. Since he was sure that the mission would succeed, he was now considering how he would spend his divine merit points.
On the other side was Money Body. This great cultivator was both excited and nervous about the upcoming outpost mission.
He was excited because of the information he heard about the confirmation of the presence of dragons in the large world that they are going to invade. But he was nervous because he wasn’t sure that they would be able to defeat the dragons and their dragon king.
As a smart man, he considered the risk of entering a fight that he wasn’t confident in. Since the risk was so high, he considered giving up on the mission.
Clearly, he decided not to give up at the end of the day. After all, he is currently on the way to the large world, even though he is still uncertain of victory.
The main reason he decided to continue with the mission was that the benefit of victory outweighed the risk. The second reason he remained was that the person who confirmed the presence of dragons also gave him a feasible method to defeat the dragon king and a method to improve his plan for the world.
The plan that he was given was something that he could have come up with on his own. It was just a plan of divide and conquer. So what was truly of help in changing his mind about giving up was the method to upgrade his plan.
He already had a plan for Oceania when the sect sent a message telling him to go to a large world and risk his life to help the sect establish an outpost on that large world.
The sect had made it known that he had to take the mission. They gave him the choice between going there or being stripped of his rank 8 cultivation and demoted to rank 7.
When he considered that he had offended many people who would want to take advantage of him if he fell in rank, and when he remembered that the size of his Cave Heaven would have to shrink to suit his fallen rank, he decided to go on the mission.
So he was forced by the sect to lead this outpost mission. But he decided to make the best use of it. It was for this purpose that he came up with a plan to gain some benefits from Oceania.
He thought his plan was good enough, but a certain person who called themselves the Name Caller gave him a better option. This better option has now made going to Oceania and being victorious in it a must for him.
