Sean stayed in the North for two weeks, which was also the last stop of the kingdom's tour screening. Afterwards, he was satisfied and took the airship back to the royal capital with his work. He was summoned by Lin En as soon as possible.
"Sir Sean, I've seen the movie you shot. The script is very good, much more exciting than I expected!" Lin En did not hesitate to express his praise.
This is the kingdom’s first movie, and it is also the first time for Sean and others to shoot a movie. The effect of blending so many elements together is unexpectedly good, which completely exceeded his expectations.
"Thanks to the book you gave me about script writing and camera use, I was able to complete the filming of the movie within half a year." Sean said modestly, and after a pause, he continued with emotion. "Some time ago, listening to those civilians talk about their past experiences also gave me a lot of inspiration. I just put their stories together."
One of the very important reasons why his "The Story of Dave" became popular throughout the kingdom is that the plot was based on a true story and was played by the people involved, so naturally their acting skills were superb and the effect was outstanding!
Of course, the real Dave did not have the reversal in the second half of the movie. His fate was much more tragic. This time, participating in the movie made his dream come true!
Lynn patted Sean on the shoulder, praised him again, and then talked about some problems he found while watching the movie.
For example, the length of a movie is more than three hours long, which is really too long. The details of the plot are also inappropriate. Some boring plots can be cut or even removed without affecting the main plot of the movie.
Sean nodded. He had discovered these problems during hundreds of screenings. Fortunately, the premiere of the movie was novel enough, so the kingdom's subjects were able to tolerate the relatively boring plot in the early stages.
"Oh, Speaker Lin." Sean suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly reported. "During this tour, I received a lot of information about the Moon God. I heard from a secret guard that the remaining clergy of the church seem to have regained their ability to cast spells."
Chapter 587: The Invaded Foreign Land
The news of the Moon God's 'resurrection' was not unexpected to Lin En, or perhaps it was the result of his deliberate indulgence.
There are about three reasons.
The first is to serve as bait!
A group of church remnants have been exposed under their noses. Their threat has been greatly reduced. They can be dealt with at any time. It is better to use them to lure out more people who are hiding in the dark and plotting against the kingdom.
The second is to charge the new power system!
Although they successfully built a superluminal spacecraft, the energy consumption problem has always been a headache for Lin En. It was not until they captured Ella, the living Moon God, that the problem was barely solved.
However, the last time she went around in space a few times, she almost drained Ella's energy core. Without the blessing of the divine realm, the Moon Goddess was extremely weak.
If he didn't give the other party some hope, Lin En was really worried that Ella would completely give up and even choose to commit suicide - now their spaceship can't find a second core that can be used as a replacement!
The third is related to one of his plans, but whether it can be done depends on whether the other party cooperates enough.
Naturally, Lynn would not reveal these thoughts to Sean. It was not that the other party was not trustworthy, but there was no need to do so.
After indicating that he already knew the information, Lynn skipped the topic and turned to talk to Sean about the filming of the next new movie.
If "The Legend of Dave 1" begins the story from the perspective of an imperial farmer in order to enhance the sense of involvement of the imperial subjects, to make people empathize with similar experiences and relive the dark rule of the empire and the church, then "The Legend of Dave 2" will truly reveal how the church relied on a fictional Bible to cruelly exploit and rule the civilians.
However, in Sean's opinion, both "Dave's Story 1" and "Dave's Story 2" can only be regarded as prequels, as a background preparation. Dave and a group of wizards who oppose the empire cannot shake the rule of the church.
What he planned to film afterwards was the legendary life of the magic star in front of him. This was the real prelude to the counterattack!
Sean kept talking about the filming plan for the next movie. Listening to a script adapted from his own experience, Lin's expression became more and more strange. Especially from Sean's perspective, he was simply a god who could predict everything and was omnipotent...
Lin En couldn't help but think of how he had almost fled all the way to the Yieta Harbor in order to avoid the church's pursuit and obtain a relatively safe research environment. He felt a little ashamed, but he had no intention of correcting himself.
After all, it is a movie script, so it is normal to have some artistic processing, so Lynn only made some constructive suggestions from the perspective of script creation.
Although Sean was full of creative ideas and was eager to discuss them with Lynn, he also knew that movies were ultimately just a tool for entertainment and publicity. This magic star probably had a lot of more urgent matters to deal with, so he quickly said goodbye and left.
As Sean closed the door, Lynn, who was in the room, disappeared directly into the empty room.
Unlike what Sean expected, the Lin En who stayed in the royal capital was just an incarnation.
At the moment, he is working with Dennis on how to design the shape of the new battleship, and discussing the next development of the kingdom with Harov and others... Such incarnations still exist in the Land of the Dead, the Alchemy Research Institute, and the City of Fire Oil Even in various places in foreign lands, with the blessing of huge computing power, multi-threaded operations and 'separate' thinking are naturally extremely easy for Lynn.
As for Lin En himself, he is doing a particularly important thing, which is to expand the divine domain to the entire Eternal Star!
In order to cope with the war with the Lord of the Undead, Lin En hastily performed the deification ceremony. The divine domain only covered a continent, which accounted for only about one-tenth of the entire planet. One of the biggest factors limiting its range was magic power.
Although the space-time gates opened by the Moon Goddess Diana sent a large amount of magic power to this world and helped him complete a large part of the work, it was obviously still far from enough to control the entire Eternal Star.
Fortunately, with the control of the moon and foreign lands, they obtained new sources of magic power. So during this period of time, Lin En has been continuously expanding the scope of the divine domain, basically occupying half of the planet, and the magic power containing will has even penetrated deep into the ground.
Different from the alien world where matter is being lost and even the plane is collapsing, the Eternal Star is a real star of life. It seems to be very "young" and extremely energetic, and contains very powerful potential.
If the planet is compared to a person, the thick rock layer is the skin, the surging magma layer is the blood rushing in the human body, and the earth's core is like a heart that keeps beating.
With the deepening of the fusion, his power is also further improved. Lin En estimated that when he completely covered the entire world with the domain of God and fused the center of the earth, it would be the time for him to break through from a weak divine power to a medium divine power!
That day shouldn’t be too far away!
But things don't always go so smoothly. Lin En, who was trying to increase his power level and handle the affairs of the kingdom at the same time, soon realized that something seemed to be wrong in the foreign land.
After capturing Ella and seizing control of the foreign land, he once again expanded the space-time gate connecting the two places, and with the help of the expansion of the divine realm, he achieved communication between the two places.
However, there is some delay in this kind of communication. Only when the magic power is transmitted from the other side can he know what is happening in the foreign land.
The only way to completely eliminate this delay and control both worlds simultaneously without obstacles is to make the flow of time in the two places consistent.
This would undoubtedly require a relatively long period of waiting, and now that an alarm had suddenly sounded from a foreign land, Lin En was somewhat worried that this might be the gods of the main world doing something in secret.
Thinking of this, Lin En descended his true body. He was afraid that the incarnation left in the foreign land would not be able to solve this problem.
A multi-faceted crystal between reality and illusion appeared out of thin air, and then the surrounding elements rushed up crazily, constructing a person's internal organs, brain, bones, and finally muscles and skin.
In just three seconds, the body had been condensed into shape, and then, Lin En stepped out and crossed the space-time rift.
……
Foreign land, broken city——Arkana!
This city has been through many hardships just like its name. It has been constantly destroyed and rebuilt in several interdimensional wars. Now it has become a transit station for material storage and transportation.
After all, this place was very close to where they opened the space-time rift. Even though it was severely damaged, Lin En still spent some effort to repair it.
Not only that, in order to facilitate the engineering teams to rescue exotic materials and avoid moving forward in the dark, they built a super-large fusion reactor in the center of the continent, which was confined to a position one hundred kilometers above the planet, just like the sun, which constantly radiates light and heat, making the surface of hundreds of thousands of miles as bright as day.
That's right, they artificially created a new sun!
Although it is not as huge as a real star, its effect is the same.
Everyone who arrives in the foreign land from the Eternal Star, when looking up at this artificial sun, can't help but marvel at the greatness of magic!
Of course, even with the light, it still cannot cover up the desolation of the foreign land, especially around the Broken City. Under the baptism of hundreds of hydrogen explosions, there are huge potholes all over the place, trying to restore them. Divine power is by no means a small amount, so Lynn left these potholes here, and just used magic to create a bridge that can pass through...
The moment he stepped into the foreign land, Lin En realized the problem. This world seemed very peaceful on the surface because the invasion came from a higher dimensional space.
Lin En gradually extended his perception, and the magic power containing his will attached to the invisible space-time curve. Then he clearly felt that the space of this plane was being torn apart!
The place where the tear is most severe is above a canyon about 300 kilometers away from here. Fortunately, the real cross-border portal has not yet been formed.
"Is it because there are no accurate enough coordinates for positioning?" Lin En thought to himself.
When the Lord of Death invaded the Eternal Star and they invaded foreign lands, they created a space-time node connecting the two worlds in a very short period of time.
This time, the opponent spent such a long time but still failed to break the barrier of time and space.
Lin En suspected that the invader did not have the exact coordinates, and used a positioning method that was more vague than the coordinates... This might be the reason why the Moon God fled the main world with his own divine domain, but was still found by the Lord of Death.
This meant that there was still a chance to make amends. Lin En immediately took action and mobilized more forces to the area near the torn airspace and began to reinforce and repair it.
Two powerful but completely different forces use space as a battlefield and engage in confrontation.
If the space-time of this airspace is compared to a piece of tempered glass, then the other side is hitting it desperately with a hammer, while Lin En is constantly reinforcing it with tape and wooden boards.
But soon Lin En discovered that similar cracks began to appear in other airspaces in the alien land, and even in mountains, rivers and oceans.
This makes the task of repairing the space particularly difficult. It's like playing whack-a-mole. When you finally press one button, another one pops up. It's really annoying.
What makes Lin En even more uneasy is that the force that tears apart time and space is not the same force. This means a very unfavorable news. On the other side, there are definitely more than one god who wants to break through the time and space channel!
Chapter 588: Only peace under equal deterrence is true peace!
Crackling... snapping...
Violent lightning continued to gather in the void, and soon, a cumulonimbus rain fell along with the thunderstorm.
The engineering teams that remained in the foreign land looked up at the sky one by one, and were all very surprised. You know, since they entered the time and space gate, the weather in the foreign land has never changed, and rain and thunder have become a rare thing.
Compared to the ordinary workers who were watching the excitement, a few great wizards had solemn expressions, because they detected traces of magic in the thunderstorm...
This is not thunder, but the aftermath of a collision of magic!
Just as they thought, the sky above the foreign land has become a battlefield.
This battle is invisible and intangible, but equally dangerous, and can even determine the life and death of all living beings on this plane.
The areas of torn space began to become more and more, and even Lin En could not protect himself completely. Soon a tiny crack appeared in the sky above a forest, and several fire demons with flames burning all over their bodies flew out from the crack in space and time. However, before they could show their power, they were crushed to pieces by the rioting elements around them.
Similar scenes soon appeared in other areas of the foreign land. At the most dangerous moment, three space-time cracks appeared in the void at the same time!
Fortunately, this rapid offensive did not last long. Although there were not only one gods invading the foreign land, without the exact coordinates, the power they could project was greatly reduced. In addition, Lin En had the advantage of geographical advantage. The entire God's Domain is also under his control, successfully suppressing the opponent's attempts again and again...
Those scouts who were sent over were killed the moment they appeared!
After a full ten hours, the increasingly terrifying thunderstorm in the sky finally stopped, and the confrontation on the high-dimensional level also ended.
Lin En won the victory without a doubt and prevented the opponent from breaking through the alien space defense.
But obviously this does not mean the end. Lin En knows very well that this is most likely just a test, and those gods in the main world will probably not give up so easily.
Thinking of this, Lin En separated an incarnation to return to the Eternal Star to convey the message. As for his original body, he had to stay here to guard against the other party launching another invasion.
……
Half an hour later, in the Magic Kingdom, more than forty great wizards stranded in the royal capital walked into the new magic tower which had only been built a few years ago.
This is the highest conference room in the kingdom. The entire tower is made of solid mithril, with a height of more than 800 meters, reaching into the sky. It is also the core of the royal capital's protective array. The energy supply has also been upgraded from the "old" fusion furnace to the parliament's latest developed positive and negative matter annihilation device!
Even if the Lord of Death came, it would take a lot of effort to completely break the defenses of the royal capital.
The interior of the conference room is very spacious, enough to easily accommodate tens of thousands of people. The decoration is also more advanced than the Sky Realm of the wizarding land back then. What attracts everyone's attention is the magical images projected around the conference room, which are divided into seventy-five screens.
There are bustling streets, people passing by, vast wastelands and solid barriers.
The interior scenes of the kingdom's seventy-four most important cities and the lunar outpost. Only Lin En, who has achieved absolute control over the kingdom and the moon, can do such an incredible thing.
"Speaker Lin!" After entering the conference room, dozens of great wizards saw Lin sitting in the main seat at a glance, and hurriedly saluted respectfully. Even Raphael, who had been promoted to a legendary wizard, was no exception.
Although on the surface, Raphael's current status is at the same level as Lin En, that is only because the parliament has not yet established a higher position.
Every wizard knows who is the real ruler of the current parliament. Many people even privately call Lin En the God of Magic to distinguish him from the other speakers!
