Chapter 2778: Chapter 1191: Divine Nature Enlightenment_3

Just this change in body type is enough for Gaven to break even.

The larger the body type, the greater the diameter of the tunnels that the Purple Worm can dig. Coincidentally, the diameter of a shield tunneling machine seems to be around six meters, the standard diameter for tunnels.

If it were the original size, they would have to dig multiple times, but now it can be done in one go.

Of course, the underground situation is very complex. In some places, a larger diameter might be needed, while in others, a smaller one is required, entirely depending on the situation.

The transformations of this Purple Worm extend far beyond that. Its appearance and special abilities have undergone varying degrees of change.

Its back has changed from purple to earth yellow, its excavator ability has become a tunnel digger; the overall ability hasn’t changed much, just that the mud to stone effect created by its secretions has been extremely enhanced. The original petrification effect was only half a meter, now it has become three meters.

This thickness is sufficient to handle most geological environments.

Its value has far surpassed that of a shield tunneling machine; it’s practically an all-in-one machine.

Since it absorbed the Road Divinity, it’s only natural for its special abilities to shift towards being related to roads.

The more impressive part is yet to come; the attributes of this Purple Worm have been comprehensively enhanced, with both Strength and Constitution reaching the legendary stage, activating the Legendary Reward ability.

Hit Points: 430 (21d20+210)

Body Type: Super Giant

Strength 32, Dexterity 7, Constitution 30, Intelligence 15, Perception 10, Charisma 13

Stomach Fluid Enhancement (Special Ability) — Legendary Power Bonus, its stomach fluid has been further enhanced; it can now digest not only mud and bricks but also most metals. The Acid Spit ability can dissolve metals.

Swallowing Metal Enhancement (Special Ability) — Legendary Constitution Bonus, it can enhance its defense and mud to stone mucus ability by consuming large amounts of metal; the enhancement effect is related to the type of metal consumed.

Reading these two abilities, even the already worldly Gaven was somewhat stunned.

In other words, by continuously feeding it steel during tunnel excavation, the walls would no longer be stone but reinforced concrete, with possibly even better effects.

Never underestimate the power of magic, especially abilities related to legends, as they partially transcend the mundane.

Previously, the underground rail car was just a major direction for Gaven’s future development, with actual results unlikely within three to five years.

With this Divine Purple Worm, it was no longer an unreachable dream.

Even the reuse of the Dwarf Empire’s Shanata underground tunnels became unnecessary.

With that time, it would be better to let this Divine Purple Worm excavate directly!

The tunnels it digs would definitely far surpass those of the Dwarf Empire, of this Gaven was confident.

After all, during the Dwarf Empire’s Satana era, road development couldn’t compare to today and certainly couldn’t activate Road Clergy.

Some things were indeed better in ancient times, such as many unique divine artifacts born in ancient eras.

That’s because, back then, many laws were in their nascent state, making them more easily manipulated and borrowed.

In modern times, more constraints are placed on the Material Plane by the gods, especially with the Magic Goddess’s increasingly powerful control over the Magic Network; laws are heavily enshrouded and have very high thresholds. One must become legendary or master Divine Nature Strength, otherwise, there’s no chance of contact.

This makes many things in the modern day extremely difficult.

However, the world does not stand still; it continually progresses, and often these emerging developments surpass the ancient.

"Hou!" A roaring flame billowed from a distance, accompanied by a gust of hot air, involuntarily drawing Gaven’s gaze.

The Purple Worm enlightened by the Earth Bear had also awakened.

However, its form was far different from Gaven’s one.

Similarly, it also doubled in size, with a similar length but its thickness was a third larger.

It appeared in a state resembling Kellysha’s berserk mode, with segmented heavy Molten Lava Armor, and from the segmented areas, scorching flames erupted.

This occurrence was perfectly normal.

The changes in their forms were due to the Divine Nature Force infused into them, naturally aligning with the Divine Nature Force within them.

The one enlightened by the Earth Bear surpassed Gaven’s in both Strength and Constitution and gained flame immunity; naturally, all other abilities were related to molten lava.

Its Stomach Spit transformed into Molten Lava Spit.

It gained the ability to draw on biological consumption from the Molten Lava Vein.

The tunnels it excavated manifested as molten lava, producing an effect akin to stable molten lava channels.

In terms of tunnel cavity construction, this Molten Lava Purple Worm could not compare with Gaven’s Tunnel Purple Worm.

But in weaving the earth network, it definitely had advantages the Tunnel Purple Worm lacked.

Don’t think it was of no use to Gaven; who was he?

A master who could squeeze oil from stone cracks.

Having seen the abilities of the Molten Lava Purple Worm, he had already envisioned its application in economic development—creator of hot springs and geothermal regions.

It could transform many originally unsuitable molten lava environments and frigid environments into hospitable lands for intelligent beings.

Its domain wasn’t the southern regions like the Tesser Kingdom, but rather the Far East Territory and even further north in the Polar environments.

"Your idea is truly brilliant; this is not merely about molding a Divine Servant, but about creating a brand-new subspecies race." The Earth Bear complimented profusely.

Despite having experienced his methods recently, I never expected such endless tricks, such an inconceivable approach.

Without his guidance, he would likely never have thought of Purple Worms this lifetime, let alone proactively conduct Divine Enlightenment on them, transforming them into his Divine Messenger Race.
