Zhao Guang is working hard here, and so are the others.

Indeed, ever since the ability to summon Elemental Dragons emerged, the various forces have changed considerably.

Each faction has sent requests to increase investment and development in the Magic Net. Some areas that were initially slow-moving are now progressing rapidly. Places that initially resisted are now suppressing their opposition.

One could say that, aside from those in the Temple, construction is happening everywhere else.

Even the Temple is increasingly attempting to control the Magic Net.

Of course, they are still unaware that the Magic Net has begun to evolve into a global phenomenon.

If they were aware, they would undoubtedly try to control the Magic Net immediately, and might even consider eliminating Zhao Guang.

A new global phenomenon represents immense power. Even their patron Divine beings might become more excited upon hearing about it. The Magic Net could spawn numerous new Divine entities.

Of course, Zhao Guang understands what this means, so he has no intention of revealing it.

At least until the Magic Net successfully evolves, he absolutely cannot let it be known.

Once the evolution is successful, it's almost impossible for others to seize it.

But there's one request that troubles Zhao Guang—they want to remove the consumption of skill slots, and some even wish to lift the restrictions on skill slots, which is utterly unrealistic.

Zhao Guang eventually had no choice but to explain some of the operational rules of the Magic Net to them.

He let them know that if the restrictions on skill slots were lifted, the Magic Net would be useless without Magic Power. Surely, if one's meditation-generated Magic Power ends up unusable, major problems would arise.

In fact, the higher-level mages are aware of this, even if not explicitly mentioned.

Mages abide by the equivalent exchange principle, although not absolute, they do understand.

They know that using magic requires consuming Magic Power.

Those proposing such a request are either foolish or malicious.

Of course, Zhao Guang rejected the idea of removing skill slot consumption. He told them that solving this issue would result in Elemental Creatures being used extensively as consumables.

At that point, with fewer Elemental Creatures in the Elemental World, the Magic Net contract would naturally be shielded.

At that time, no one would be able to summon anything.

Actually, when this was proposed, a group of people desperately tried to achieve this demand.

Clearly, these people were mainly backed by the Temple. There were also some mages who felt their interests were affected, but Zhao Guang chose to ignore these lazy mages.

Some warriors or other professionals who followed suit also believed that the Magic Net's existence harmed their interests.

Zhao Guang didn't have to deal with them directly; the existing beneficiaries of the Magic Net naturally took care of them.

Eventually, after a series of negotiations, Zhao Guang had no choice but to lower the cost of restoring skill slots, thus silencing a great amount of complaints.

Of course, Zhao Guang initially set the cost very high to prepare for subsequent negotiations. He just hadn't anticipated that negotiations would come so quickly, and that the negotiations were with top-tier organizations.

Initially, Zhao Guang thought it would mostly be a public outcry.

Truly a headache, Zhao Guang felt relieved yet troubled at the same time.

What surprised Zhao Guang the most was the unexpected enthusiasm from the beastmen.

Indeed, the beastmen's mage power is extremely weak, so they urgently needed an infusion of Magic Power. Elemental Creatures were undoubtedly the best choice for the beastmen.

Elemental Creatures are simple, summoned beings, with no concern about causing any trouble for themselves.

On the battlefield, the beastmen side saw a surge of magic teams composed of Elemental Creatures.

These Elemental Creatures were treated as treasures by the beastmen, making it nearly impossible to harm them. The beastmen are always dedicated to offering their best to useful forces.

Even in dangerous situations, the beastmen would quickly send Elemental Creatures back.

They would rather perish themselves than allow any harm to their summoned Elemental Creatures.

Due to the addition of these Magic Powers, the beastmen gained tremendous motivation in their war against the Flying Beast Alliance. The Flying Beast Alliance was initially targeting the harpies, but now they suddenly find the pressure mounting.

If it continues this way, nobody knows what will happen to the harpies, but they themselves will suffer heavy losses.

If the beastmen continue to fight, once they become advantageous, the opponents might not have a chance of survival.

Especially as Elemental Dragons appear on the battlefield, the Flying Beast Alliance finally couldn't sit still.

Elemental Dragons can fly, and as their numbers grow, forming a legion, the Flying Beast Alliance would be overwhelmingly suppressed. With their only advantage lost, they stand no chance against the beastmen.

In such circumstances, the Flying Beast Alliance finally invited their mighty warriors to come forth.

Numerous legendary strongmen appeared at the edge of the battlefield; though they haven't acted yet, the atmosphere has changed.

In such circumstances, if the beastmen continue to push, fulminant war may erupt.

Thus, both sides began to standoff, and as time progresses, negotiations might eventually happen to ease tensions. The beastmen are unwilling to end it this way, and are currently stalling for time.

As for those from the Flying Beast Alliance, some even approached us, intending to establish a Magic Net.

"Flying Beast Alliance also sent an application, truly unexpected."

"Master, absolutely don't agree, those damned bastards should be thoroughly eradicated,"

Sephidya flared up; back then, those guys were the ones troubling her family. If they are allowed to develop, where would her face go?

Zhao Guang simply waved his hand, "The Flying Beast Alliance cannot be annihilated; otherwise, the beastmen will achieve immense growth. Without the Flying Beast Alliance's restraint, I would have to confront them directly."

"Our Xuanwu Kingdom remains neutral; anyone can establish the Magic Net."

Zhao Guang patted Sephidya's head, "Don't be so angry, we can raise the cost and definitely give you satisfaction. Besides, if the Magic Net is established over there, Floating Battleships could fly over to directly threaten them."

"Master is right. Hmph, if we build a Floating City in the future, they'll definitely understand what a threat means."

Zhao Guang builds Floating Battleships as a foundation for the Floating City, but unfortunately, the current strength is insufficient to construct one yet.
