Hometown Island, Old Duke and Little Gavin

With the giant turtle's shell, accommodating these hundreds of divine trees was a breeze.

Aside from the towering towers, magical spires, barracks, and other buildings, Ji Chen estimated that he could transplant tens of thousands more onto the turtle's shell, provided there were enough divine trees available for transplantation.

Ji Chen even had a bold idea: to surround the New Moon Islands with these divine trees, utilizing their curse-inducing properties to form a natural barrier.

He couldn't wait to see who would dare invade the Crown of the Ocean with such a terrifying curse-laden circle of trees in place!

Ji Chen gazed at the sizable grove of divine trees on the turtle's back, nodding with satisfaction.
