"The trapdoor moved! Holy crap, I get it now!"
"Ender Pearls float on the water; he's using the trapdoor to go home!"
"It is one thing for God Yu to know the game mechanics, but where did this come from?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it just popped out. A Dragon Palace reward?"
"Incredible! Even God Yu's house is setting up its own mechanics!"
After learning about the return device, the bullet chat was filled with shock.
Galen Yu understood game mechanics and Redstone, and he had created many Redstone devices.
Now he didn't even have to do anything; new devices were appearing automatically!
"A trapdoor plus a pool?"
Looking at the new contraption before Galen Yu, the Blonde Elder was incredibly shocked.
"The Architect understands it because he is a mysterious figure respected by both mages, with an unknown background."
"It is normal for Galen Yu to understand since he has 'cheats,' but is a building a living thing?"
If it is not a living thing, how can it still learn? And if it doesn't learn, how can it make something like this?
Did the collective IQ of their Alliance not even match a mindless building in Galen Yu's home?
"It's a good thing. Yes, this is a good thing!"
"Luck is limited. This device was built purely on luck; once it's used up, it'll be gone next time!"
"Besides, we can build according to this model as well. In the future, we won't face the embarrassment of people like Kira Oakmoor and Soren Park being unable to return home!"
Trying to find the silver lining, the Blonde Elder comforted himself.
After trying it twice more, Galen Yu felt that this thing was quite good.
He could build it himself, but without the Barrier Blocks on the outside, the safety would be lower.
It also didn't consume Ender Pearls; the 'Endermen' were quite useful.
Additionally, Dragon's Protection could allow Baby Villagers to grow quickly and speed up their transformation into Evolving Guard Villagers.
Spirit Warmth Spring went without saying—all items could restore their durability.
He wouldn't have to waste diamonds or other materials to repair equipment in the future, saving a massive amount of resources.
These were all very good buffs.
After reviewing the three features, Galen Yu looked inside the palace and finally saw the Enderman he had been longing for.
It looked the same as the ones outside—a giant, lanky, pitch-black, strange humanoid creature.
At most, there was a bit of red at the neck, signifying it belonged to Sky Island, rather than being one of those hostile creatures that would become enraged upon eye contact.
"'Receive Enderman protection, items will not drop, even if falling into the void?'"
Repeating the description, Galen Yu was a bit confused.
What did it mean that resources would never drop?
Seeing Galen Yu's confusion, the Architect seemed to realize something.
"I get it! Is it like this?"
Under the watchful eyes of Galen Yu and the numerous Endermen, the Architect walked to the edge of the chunk and switched to his diamond sword.
He threw it directly into the void. In the next instant...
An Enderman suddenly appeared, teleporting to catch the falling diamond sword.
It placed it into the nearest chest, then returned to the chunk as if nothing had happened, its calm eyes continuing to scan the other directions of the chunk.
"In addition to resources, it even means that creatures within the chunk can receive protection!"
Realizing what it meant, Galen Yu raised an eyebrow.
This was basically an extra safety guarantee, preventing people from falling into the void!
On the mainland, this effect was useless since one couldn't reach the void through the bedrock.
But on Sky Island, its role was massive!
There were pits and holes everywhere; it was inevitable that someone would step into a gap and fall.
Normally, Galen Yu had to walk carefully, fearing he might fall into the void.
Without Elytra and fireworks, only death would await them!
Now there was no need to worry, even if he accidentally fell.
He took off his Elytra and took a leap of faith toward the void. Before he had even fallen a few blocks...
A purple streak of light flashed, and Galen Yu was back within the chunk.
As long as he was within the chunk, he never had to worry about falling into the void again!
Additionally, Endermen were also experts at moving things.
They could pick up chests directly, eliminating the previous need to take items out one by one before putting them back in.
It greatly increased convenience!
"Great Lord, I feel that the effects of this palace are not limited to this; it can still be upgraded in the future!"
Having understood the four uses, the Architect spoke.
When it came to buildings, his intuition was never wrong, but as for how specifically to upgrade it...
There was currently no clear direction.
However, Galen Yu didn't mind.
This was enough for now; there was no rush.
After touring the Dragon Palace, Galen Yu turned his gaze toward the Yamato.
"To restore the blade to its complete state, a very important prerequisite is needed."
Use the Broken Yamato to kill enemies until it possesses one thousand Honor Souls.
With his previous experience with the Oodachi, this was a familiar path for Galen Yu.
It happened that the weather was nice and there was no fog obstructing his vision, so he went out directly to start farming mobs.
It was a good thing that zombies no longer feared the sun; he could find them to farm even during the day.
He quickly gathered one thousand Proud Soul values. Just as he was about to head back...
He heard a familiar voice.
"Hahaha, bet you didn't expect this! Let me tell you, God Yu has already killed the Ender Dragon!"
"Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise and serve that Great Lord!"
The Wandering Mage had returned.
Morality aside, the Black Mage's strength was impressive, and he really wanted the Black Mage to become a servant to provide assistance to Galen Yu.
However, the current Black Mage was dejected, with no pride to speak of.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible."
"Why? You said so before you left. I remember you hate people who don't keep their promises the most, right?"
"I will keep my promise, but... sigh, he won't want me anymore."
"You are powerful; as long as you speak up, it will surely work. Why?"
"Killing the Ender Dragon will trigger the Dragon Hunt prematurely!"
After hearing the Black Mage explain the cause and effect, the Wandering Mage was stunned.
He truly hadn't known this and remained dazed for a long time.
When he spoke again, his tone was not as excited as before.
"So that's how it is. No wonder. If I were him, I wouldn't want you either."
"Sigh, you... why didn't you say such important information earlier?"
"It wasn't easy to find such a good prospect; what should we do if the dragons really come?"
Knowing the strength of the dragons, the Wandering Mage felt anxious for Galen Yu.
A crisis plus dragons!
It wasn't just a matter of difficulty; it was hell!
Those zombies appearing in a steady stream were stronger than bosses; if several more flying, intelligent bosses were added...
It was truly unthinkable!
"Are you going to leave?"
"No, I will stay and fight those things until the very last moment."
Hearing the Black Mage ask this, Galen Yu originally thought the Wandering Mage would leave.
There were only ten days left in the crisis, which were also the most difficult ten days.
Individual zombies were already difficult to deal with; if dragons were added, anyone with less courage would have been scared out of their wits.
To be willing to stay and help him... Galen Yu really hadn't expected it.
Without saying more, he returned to Sky Island and placed eight Proud Soul Orbs around the Yamato.
Thus, the strongest SlashBlade, dropped by the Ender Dragon, was ready.
[Magic Sword: Yamato]
[A former magic sword, its power is now a far cry from its original state.]
The Yamato was finished!
At the same time...
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar echoed from the distance, resounding throughout the entire world.
