This story is about the adventures through different regions around the world

Being different than ordinary people, when Zhang Tie read a map, he kept visualizing the images and data about terrains on the plane into a huge three-dimensional sand table. In this way, he could bear everything on the map in mind for the rest of his life.
Whenever Zhang Tie wanted to use it, he could deepen into each detail on the map. Additionally, when in flight, Zhang Tie could match the coordinate on the map at any time. Therefore, he would not get lost no matter how long he had flown. Furthermore, Zhang Tie could match all the coordinates in mind and draw out the most precise map. 
After reading it, Zhang Tie realized the large size of Motian Realm. Those regions marked on the map were much larger than the world that he came from.
However, the size of Motian Realm was relative.
Strictly, the world where he came from was a celestial body, a vigorous yet trivial place in the complete universe. The world where he came from was connected to a vast world, which contained numerous celestial bodies, galaxies and lives. The world where he came from was just a small part of a larger world.
Motian Realm was very large; however, strictly, it was not a complete universe; but an independent, bizarre space. Although being large, to a certain degree, Motian Realm was very small, independent and incomplete. Additionally, Motian Realm was not a celestial body; instead, it was more like some independent "pieces" floating in the sky. 
Motian Realm contained many "pieces", large or small. All the "pieces' were called "domains" or "regions". There were three kinds of domains, namely, big domains, middle domains and small domains. Big domains in Motian Realm were like subcontinents, which usually covered hundreds of millions of square miles. Middle domains were smaller, the size of which ranged from 10 million to over 100 million square miles. As for small domains, their sizes ranged from millions of square miles to 10 million square miles. By contrast, regions were always less than 1 million square miles in size.
All the domains and regions were like islands floating in the air of Motian Realm, large or small. They were connected by airboat. 
Motian Realm had 9 big domains, 64 middle domains and 360 small domains and numerous regions. Given its population and land size, Motian Realm was featured by sparse population and vast land. 
Demons and humans respectively occupied 4 big domains while the last big domain was shared by two parties. As a result, the two parties always broke out wars for resources. Additionally, humans and demons occupied almost the same number of middle domains and small domains. In other words, humans and demons were well-matched in strength.
The three big domains that humans ruled were Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, Star Emperor Immortal Palace and Force Emperor Immortal Palace. As was occupied by the three emperor-level immortal palaces, the three big domains were respectively called Dragon Emperor Big Domain, Star Emperor Big Domain and Force Emperor Big Domain. Besides the three big domains, the three emperor-level immortal palaces also ruled some middle domains and small domains and scrambled for many cities with demons in the last big domains. As for the 14 sage-level immortal palaces in Motian Realm, each of them ruled one or several middle and small domains. 
Zhang Tie was in the Heavens Big Domain in Motian Realm where humans and demons usually broke out wars. Additionally, given its size, Heavens Big Domain was the biggest domain in Motian Realm. The entire Heavens Big Domain was of the size of a military region of Taixia Country. Therefore, the wars between humans and demons were especially fierce here.
Besides, Zhang Tie was surprised by a vast ocean in Motian Realm called Yao Ocean. The entire Yao Ocean was at the bottom of the Motian Realm. Above the Motian Realm, there was an extremely high, ethereal place called Mountain Ruins, which was not marked on the map. 
As Zhang Tie was immersed in the map of Motian Realm, he almost forgot time. Not until he was awakened by the knocks at the door did he move his eyes away from the map.
Zhang Tie went off to open the door as he saw Leng Manxue the general deacon of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace standing outside the door with a lot of items in arms.
The fiery outfit, undulated figure, sexy, long legs, beautiful short hair, bright eyes which bent upwards, forbidding qi field, this general deacon of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City was cultured. 
"Oh, General deacon Leng, what's up?" Zhang Tie asked with a smile.
Leng Manxue was like other strong professional women. Zhang Tie knew that she must dislike being called in an intimate way. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't feel like joking with her. It was wise and easy to treat her as his colleague. 
After taking a serious look at Zhang Tie, Leng Manxue was instantly shocked. She had already been told that Zhang Tie was a water immortal general. Therefore, she couldn't stand observing him for a short while. Even so, this woman still didn't look very curious and shocked. She soon recovered her composure as she said, "Head asked me to send some exclusive sets of outfits to you as you have to get used to your current situation..."
As she said, Leng Manxue had already entered Zhang Tie's room.
After knowing that she had something else to say, Zhang Tie smiled as he closed the door from inside.
After entering the room, Leng Manxue directly went to the wardrobe and shoe cabinet before putting the pile of outfits in the cabinet. After that, she noticed that huge map of Motian Realm on the desk as she turned around and asked, "You're studying the map of Motian Realm?"
"Ahem...ahem...yes, as I couldn't remember the terrains in Motian Realm anymore, I bought a map to review them..." Zhang Tie disguised to cough twice as he hurriedly moved his eyes away from Leng Manxue's butts. Being attracted by her extremely rhythmic, twisting butt and waist, Zhang Tie couldn't stand taking a look at them. 
"This map is too crude. It's made by commoners. If you want, I can have someone bring you the complete jade map of Motian Realm. It's stored in our immortal palace!" Leng Manxue didn't look abnormal as if she had not discovered that Zhang Tie was gazing at her butt or just ignored it. 
"Thanks, general deacon!"
"Pleasure. As the deputy head of the immortal palace, you have the right to use these resources!"
Leng Manxue's words reminded Zhang Tie of something as he asked, "I wonder whether there're some other books in the immortal palace. If there is, please have people bring them to me too. I want to read them perhaps for the sake of my memory!"
"Previously, there were many books in the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City; however, they were all taken away by the last batch of immortal generals. There were only a few left. If you want to read, perhaps you could when we return to the headquarters of Dragon Emperor Big Domain!" Leng Manxue said as she looked into Zhang Tie's eyes with a faint frown, "If not you're an immortal human general, I would even doubt that whether you were born in Motian Realm or not..."
"I was indeed not born in Motian Realm!" Zhang Tie said as he watched Leng Manxue seriously. After hearing his reply, Leng Manxue slightly squinted. However, Zhang Tie's following words defused the short solemn atmosphere at once, "You're far-sighted. I'm actually dispatched by God to save commoners especially beauties in Motian Realm. Additionally, I'm destined to be a perfect man. I always hide it well; unexpectedly, you discovered that. Promise me, don't reveal this secret to others!"
"Huh!" Leng Manxue uttered as she raised her eyebrows and threw a glare at Zhang Tie, "As the deputy head of the immortal palace, please watch out your words and image. If those followers of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace saw you joking every day, their confidence and belief in the immortal palace would sharply decline. By then, if you were caught by the law enforcement elder back in Dragon Emperor Big Domain, you might suffer a severe punishment. Don't blame me then..."
"Head said that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is going to abandon Heavenly Square City, is that true?"
Leng Manxue nodded rigidly as her face turned gloomy.
"But why?"
"It's determined by the Church of the immortal palace. As Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace is on the verge of collapse, besides Heavenly Square City, we're also gradually giving up the other cities as all the strength of it would return to Dragon Emperor Big Domain..."
Before reading the map, he was confused about this decision; however, after reading it, Zhang Tie realized that it was a method that Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace adopted to contract its force for a better defense...

**Warning: This novel contains mature content**


Even though Old Logue was an Outlander, Zhao Fu did not discriminate between races. No matter if it was before, now, or in the future, he would view all races as equal, so he treated Old Logue quite well. Zhao Fu called Old Logue over, and Zhao Fu saw that Old Logue looked a bit younger than before – perhaps this was the effect of having 10 years added to his lifespan.
After chatting with Old Logue, Zhao Fu found that after he had become a Stage 1 General, he could choose from three types of Unique Military Professions:
The first was to develop a new profession. Because Old Logue’s profession was Demon Priest, it was possible for his profession to have Demon’s Power, though it was likely to be quite weak.
The second was to choose the Iron Eagle Elite Soldiers as well because it was not just Bai Qi’s Unique Military Profession but the Great Qin’s Unique military Profession. All of Great Qin’s Generals could choose to develop this profession.
The third was for Old Logue to choose a Goblin profession to make his Unique Military Profession, such as Goblin Warrior.
Zhao Fu asked if Old Logue could train a magic-type military profession, but Old Logue replied that this wasn’t possible. If Old Logue had an Elemental Mage profession, it would have been possible for him to develop such a profession. However, Old Logue’s profession was Demon Priest, which was a religious profession, so he could not develop a magic-type profession.
After listening to Old Logue’s explanation, Zhao Fu felt somewhat disappointed, and he asked, “Old Logue, which one will you choose?”
Old Logue took this matter very seriously because he could not change his mind once he made his decision. After thinking about it, he saluted Zhao Fu before replying, “Your Majesty, I choose the Goblin Warriors as my Unique Military Profession.”
Zhao Fu was quite surprised, as neither Bai Qi nor Old Logue had chosen to develop a new profession.
Developing one’s own profession required a lot of time and effort, and it would be quite weak in the early stages. Professions that had already been established had their own skills and strengths, but developing one’s own profession carried a lot of uncertainty.
However, a profession developed by a Stage 1 General would not necessarily be weaker than a historical or race profession in the long term. They all had their own advantages, and since Bai Qi and Old Logue had made their decisions after much consideration, Zhao Fu did not try to interfere with their decisions.
Zhao Fu nodded and replied, “Alright, go and take care of this matter then!”
Old Logue respectfully cupped his fists. He had only just broken through, and after stabilizing his cultivation, he had immediately come to meet with Zhao Fu. There were now many things for him to take care of.
Not too long after Old Logue left, Bai Shan happily came over and reported, “Your Majesty, we’ve finished researching Intermediate teleportation channels!”
Hearing this, Zhao Fu was delighted. Intermediate teleportation channels could transport people a maximum of 5,000 kilometers away and transport 50 people at once. With Intermediate teleportation channels, Zhao Fu could put into motion his plan of opening up routes to other regions.
He told Bai Shan to research Advanced teleportation channels before asking some soldiers to call Bai Qi over. He spread the map of the Heaven Awaken World that he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Flower Festival on the table and looked at where the Forest of Horrors was.
In the map, the Heaven Awaken World was split into four main continents, which were separated by the ocean that contained a countless number of islands. The largest continent was incredibly big and was larger than any two of the other continents combined.
This continent was labeled as Midland Continent, which was where China was. The other three continents were Westwonder Continent, which was where most of Europe was; Southwild Continent, which was where most of Africa was; and Northbleak Island, which was where America and some other countries were.
There were also a countless number of islands in the east, which were labeled as ‘Eastern Island Region.’ These were all countries with smaller populations.
This was where the various countries in the real world were in the Heaven Awaken World. After obtaining this map, Zhao Fu had used the information he had obtained from the Heaven Awaken World forum to roughly figure out where all of the countries were located in the Heaven Awaken World.
First, Midland Continent.
Midland Continent was at the center of the map, and it was the continent with the most countries in it. At the center of Midland Continent was the most powerful country in the continent. It was like a massive dragon, while the countries around it were like starving ferocious beasts that were unable to shake the massive dragon. This powerful country was China!
In ancient times, China was the center of civilization, and now, it was at the center of Midland Continent, becoming the center of the Heaven Awaken World.
With China’s massive population and countless ancient legacies, there was no other country that could vie for this position. Right from the beginning, Zhao Fu knew that China would definitely be the largest battle region in this world.
For now, Zhao Fu focused on the area surrounding the Forest of Horrors. Zhao Fu found where the Forest of Horrors was on the map – it was to the side of the area that China occupied in Midland Continent. During the few days after Zhao Fu entered the Heaven Awaken World, he, Bai Qi, and Li Si all decided to go to Vietnam as soon as possible, so as to leave the region that China was in for now.
Vietnam was about seven regions away from the Forest of Horrors. In the real world, Vietnam was not a very big country, and now that it was in Zhao Fu’s sights, that was just bad luck.
Of course, all of this was thinking far into the future. Zhao Fu first looked at the four regions around the Forest of Horrors. They were Red Plum Plains, Hundred Bamboo, Little Valley, and East Green.
Zhao Fu then looked at where the Great Qin Village was within the Forest of Horrors, and he found that the region closest to the Great Qin Village was Little Valley.
By now, Bai Qi had arrived and saw Zhao Fu seriously looking down at the map. He understood why Zhao Fu had summoned him because he had heard about the Scholars successfully researching Intermediate teleportation channels.
It was mainly because of Bai Shan – whenever he researched something, he would run around yelling about it, so the news always traveled quite quickly.
Bai Qi cupped his hands respectfully and greeted Zhao Fu, “Your Majesty!”
Zhao Fu looked up and saw that Bai Qi had arrived, and Zhao Fu smiled and said, “Bai Qi, it’s time to set the plans we made a long time ago into motion.”
Bai Qi smiled as he replied, “Congratulations, Your Majesty!”
“Alright, let’s skip all of the formalities. Have a look at this map; in the future, what area should be used as the Great Qin Village’s foundation and what areas should be used as barriers?” Zhao Fu asked.
Bai Qi walked over and looked at the map before discussing with Zhao Fu the Great Qin Village’s future plans.


“Ding! Soulbinding has been successfully completed; you will now head to the Heaven Awaken World.” After hearing this, Zhao Fu’s vision darkened as he fell to the ground.

With bleak prospects in the real world, Zhao Fu’s life is turned around when countless crystals fell from the sky one night, which people could use to enter an alternate, game-like world. After obtaining an ancient Chinese empire’s legacy, Zhao Fu uses his intellect and resourcefulness to develop his own empire from a tiny village. However, with enemies both in the real world and in the Heaven Awaken World, he must make brilliant decisions and use creative schemes to survive.

"hey I'm back, I'm done changing." Kito looked at rina "Come sit down, Let us start this meeting" 
Kai walked forwards and sits down at the table "First let me ask you a question what is the reason that you want to be king for."

Kito waits for rina to sits down and then he looks forward "My reason for being your king is only one I'm here to change this world, I'm gonna change this system where the weak can live in peace where they do not need to worry to be discriminated by the strong." Kai closed his eyes and cross his hands "That are some noble reasons I can see now, I have heard from one of the guards that you are here from an other world so, for now, il start to explain to you everything about this world and the regions and the people."

"Please do" Kai opens his eyes and stands up and walked towards the bookshelf and grabs the world map and walk back to the table and sits down while putting the map on the table. "Okey first let's begin with the west region, the ranking as you already know there is till now 6 region that people have discovered and in every region, there is one king until you took the crown that is, and so there are now 7 kings. But let me start from the top ranking at the top there is only one man who everybody fears and that is the white king maru tokugami he has no lands but because he is so powerful he created his own group of the white fox clan and till today there is no one that has ever there to tell him what to do. And that is because he controls one of the 4 Grand Fantasia" Kito looked confusing towards kai "And what is the Grand Fantasia."

Kai kept going with his story "I shall explain Grand Fantasia are 4 of the greatest and strongest familiars that were born in this world the reason why there stronger then the rest is because they can use pandora box a power where they can fuse with their masters and become one to unleash more power than ever before. up until now, only 4 people had those power until someone like you
I still do not know how you got that familiar."

"I shall explain it on another day please continue with your story" Kai returns to his story "And now we go to the other 3 who controls the fantasia those people are called the 3 Gods of the Lands, you can say there are just bandits who made something of there self with power this 3 man took over the 6 regions by protecting them from demon attack. And it sounds very kind of them but there are just some bastards who are helping so they can steal the kingdom's money and get away with it, the problem is there much too strong to fight so everyone is just letting it go. And now we come to the 7 warlords just as it sounds these 7 people are known as war gods they are the only people who can come close to the Fantasia with pure power every region has their warlords in the west we have 1 warlord and that is in the wolf clan so that you know what were up against in this war. And then we come towards the 7 kings of each region those are the nobles that rule the lands that they have conquered up until today it's divided by 6 regions up until today most kings have a lot of power so we should be careful after all kings in this world are still kings so even the warlords or the bandits are afraid of a kings presence." Kito had a lot of question but for now, he kept listening to kai story.

"And now we get to the important part as you can see you see the 6 regions right it's pretty small on this map is it not what you see around us is the white lands and further up is the new world that's what we call the lands we have not explored yet because of demon activity. long ago we did have one man who conquered every land and that was the leader of the white nine tailed fox clan the former master of maru tokugami he was the man before you who had that power that you holds now the former king of the world. And his name was Gold No Renigai, so for now I shall explain about the demons among the demons there is the leader of all demon and that is the demon god luci. And other him are his 6 sons the demon kings up until today we have never seen the 6 kings so we do not know their names or how strong they can be that is the reason why we accept those 3 bandits to protect us. And next comes the 12 Demon apostle created by the 6 kings we only know them from history they are very strong monsters they should be in the league of those 3 and there 12 of them so it's pretty hard to go beyond the 6 regions as you can see. And the last of the demons clan is  7 demon knights you can say they are the warlords of the demon realm. Are you beginning to get how this world work and how it is put together." 

Kito looks towards kai "I see this world is much bigger then I have expected I now see for who I should watch out for now. For now how I see it were going to take over the west region and then we're gonna unite the 6 regions in one and then we are going towards the white lands and the new world. And for that warlord, I will think a plan for how we will defeat him." Kai stands up walks towards kito "I shall answer you right now we can not defeat this warlord not at our level."

And kito stands up turns towards kai "Let me ask you a question why do you think that we can not defeat them" Kai grabbed kito by his shoulder "There is only one reason and that is because that warlord is my big brother among all the warlords he is the 3rd strongest of them all do you understand now." kito pushed kai's hands away "you really need to calm down I will handle him when the time comes I may be defeated but I can buy some time for the master plan. I'm not a stupid kid after all I'm a genius in making MMORPG so I know more then you think so I will think of a plan you don't need to worry about the rest the only thing you need to do is fight and win do you understand Kai."

Kai turns around and walks away "I hope you know what you're doing kito I'm going to take some fresh air to calm down a bit so call me when we're going to start talking about our game plan for the war"

An 18 years old Korean boy who will be transported to a new world but everything in this world works like an MMORPG game ranking and lvl, and status. His journey started in this new world how he made new friends enemies, loved ones follow this young hero on his. Journey to become the most respected and strongest man in this new world after all a true king is born from nothing.

"The current world situation?"
Extreme Yin ran her fingers through her hair and smiled uncomfortably.
"Not too good!"
"It is to be expected that the world would descend into chaos following the occurrence of the Demon Spirit invasion. As the saying goes, 'tough people rise during tough times'. Truly powerful factions would take this opportunity to consolidate their strength."
Fang Yuan wrung his hands.
"Has there not been any reaction from anywhere in the world?"
In truth, there were many underlying forces in Da Qian. While the power of the dream masters was declining, the spiritual knights and martial artists were waiting in the wings to replace them.
If the full potential for conflict of the entire Da Qian empire was to be realised, it would shake up the world.
Even though the Imperial Court and the dream masters were weak, they were still capable of putting up a good fight.
"Do elaborate!"
Fang Yuan said curtly.
"Yes, my lord!"
Extreme Yin signalled for someone to fetch a map and her clear voice reverberated about the room.
"… After the battle in the Jade Capital, the dream masters were dragged down from their altars while the Imperial Court was destroyed. It was a devastating blow indeed! The Demon Spirits had overrun all 99 regions of the Da Qian empire. The Jade Capital in the Middle Region was the worst hit! The regions around it are now deserted following the massacre of every living person! The whole area has become a playground for the Demon Spirits!"
She picked up a pen and traced the outline of the nine regions in the middle of the map.
"This area, once home Da Qian's greatest cities, is now a huge graveyard… casualties number hundreds of millions. There is nothing left to be said…"
"Beyond the 9 central regions, things are more complicated. Although they have also been affected by the invasion of the demon spirits, they are still accessible by the regional armies. However, a large number of Demon spirit troops remain stationed in the wilderness and attack the cities from time to time… the most famous incident involved Wu Yue and Zhang Jin, who had their entire army annihilated by the Demon spirit army and lost their lives…"
"I am not surprised!"
Fang Yuan clasped his hands together and nodded. These two people had been backed by dream masters and given that their backers had collapsed, they would have been dragged down from their horses by the martial artists and spiritual knights even if they hadn't been killed by the demon spirits.
Perhaps that was what happened.
"Following the fall of the dream masters, a few factions emerged to fill in the power vacuum. They scrambled to acquire territory in the name of protecting the masses. Some of them have also engaged the demon spirit army in a few skirmishes, which reinforced their legitimacy!"
Extreme Yin continued.
"Overall, the world now can be split into 4 parts. Let's not talk about the lands taken over by the demon spirits. A Martial Alliance has emerged in the north, comprising all the sects in the area. The organisation has managed to gather several top Grandmasters and is headed by a True Sage… the lands of the north are barren and sparsely populated. The Dream Masters Alliance had not bothered to interfere in northern affairs back in the day. The Martial Alliance is working towards realising the potential in the North…"
Extreme Yin spoke of this matter with disdain.
After all, the Dream Masters Alliance had indeed left the place alone. They had thought that it was a sterile land with no valuable resources.
"The Martial Alliance of the North?"
Fang Yuan was silent for a moment. He had never heard of this organisation but the North reminded him of the Qin siblings of Dongyi County in the Sand Region.
They were chess pieces that he had planted in the early days. Fang Yuan wondered at how they were doing, having been left alone for so long.
Although the Qin family was an influential clan in Dongyi, they would be helpless in the face of such a catastrophe.
"Hmm, we have two subordinates planted in Sand Region's Dongyi County… send our people to check out how they're getting along. If they're fine, then let's leave it at that. If not, ask them if they intend to move elsewhere!"
Fang Yuan made an expansive arm gesture.
The Nine Extremes Mountain was located on the southeastern part of Da Qian. Coming here from the north was a journey of tens of thousands of miles. Also, with the Demon spirits running amok, a large-scale migration was suicidal! Even if it was a small group, it would be extremely chancy.
Whether the Qin siblings would or could come depended on their level of determination and fortune.
Regardless, Fang Yuan felt that sending people to check on them was already a great display of benevolence. He saw no need to fetch them over personally.
"Yes, my lord!"
Liu Mengmei bowed and shot a challenging look at Extreme Yin.
"As for the west, with the Fan Region in the centre, is witnessing the rise of a faction known as the God Seeking Palace! There are many True Sages and True Elementals from the Imperial Court in there. It has also been rumoured that Qian Huanyi and the Superior Wu Zun has joined them. The local government is under their control, their influence extends to the surrounding regions and they have even managed to secure the loyalties of the local militias. As a result, they have become insufferably arrogant!
Extreme Yin could not be bothered to entertain Liu Mengmei and focused on reporting to Fang Yuan.
"God Seeking Palace?"
Fang Yuan was slightly bemused.
"This place would be a perfect match for an old man on the brink of death who only knows how to sing ditties all day long."
"On the brink of death?"
Extreme Yin was stunned. Although the folks from the Imperial Court were advanced in years, they had many more years to live by virtue of their solid cultivation.
"Don't mind me, go on…"
Fang Yuan motioned for her to continue. He had become warier.
God seeking! Their aim was probably to purge the world of their enemies. The ministers and generals of Da Qian did hate the royal family, but their enmity with the dream masters ran deep too.
"In the east… there are several petty factions who vie with each other for hegemony. Many rise and fall within a short period of time. The Demon spirits have largely left the eastern lands alone because of their proximity to the seas and they are now hotbeds of anarchy. If our organisation does intend to expand, we can definitely consider going east!"
Extreme Yin offered a suggestion.
"Hmm, are there any other spheres of influence in the world?"
Fang Yuan clicked his tongue in disbelief.
"The two organisations that we talked about have occupied several regions. They have a structured hierarchy, strict discipline among their personnel as well as capable people. But they are still regional powers…"
Extreme Yin shook her head.
"Other than these, there are two alliances to note. They do not have headquarters and control scattered territory, but their collective power cannot be underestimated!"
"One of them… is the old Dream Masters Alliance?"
Fang Yuan fiddled with the cup in his hand.
"That's right… although the dream masters have fallen off their altar, we have excellent qualities. As long we work hard, we can trigger breakthroughs and regain power. We can also make use of the legacy of our forebears to become great again."
"No matter what, it's all in the past…"
A faint smile played on Fang Yuan's lips.
If he chose to publicise his deductions, it would probably cause an uproar among the dream masters.
He would keep his secret for a while longer.
"What about the other one?"
"The last one is a union of spiritual knights… the Heavenly Spirit Association!"
Extreme Yin was surprised even as she talked about it.
"This organisation was around in the days when the dream masters were still in power. Their web of contacts extended throughout Da Qian and was based on communication between the spiritual knights. They were also involved in trading activities. After the invasion occurred and the dream masters fell, they decided to come out of the dark!"
Fang Yuan tilted his head slightly. In terms of skill, the spiritual knights were second only to the dream masters.
If there was any group of people who could challenge the leadership of the dream masters back in the day, it would be the spiritual knights.
After all, there were many things that martial arts could not achieve. Spiritual spells, on the other hand, could accomplish results that rivalled the dream masters. They could even take on part of the research work.
Fang Yuan sighed quietly and made a mental note about the Heavenly Spirit Association being the Da Qian version of a Heavenly Spirit Association.
'In this case, the northern Martial Alliance would be a Warriors' Alliance. What about the God Seeking Palace in the West? An alliance of assassins? An alliance of remnants of the empire?'
Fang Yuan examined the map again.
The Martial Alliance, God Seeking Palace and the scattered factions of the east formed a large triangle. In the middle was the Dream Masters Alliance and the Heavenly Spirit Association. The Nine Extremes Mountain sect was but a speck in their midst.
Of course, these human factions took up less than half of the lands on the map.
The rest of the map had sunk into the ocean of demon spirits.
Human establishments might be able to surface in the lands of the enemy, but they would never amount to anything significant.
"The Dream Masters must be feeling so indignant."
Fang Yuan felt a wave of pity of them.
"They were once the most formidable organisation in Da Qian. Now, they have fallen quite far behind and might even be on the brink of destruction! I'd love to see the look on the sages' faces…"
If the Dream Masters Alliance descended into internal conflict once more, they would end up no better than the petty factions on the eastern coast.
"Looking at where the Nine Extreme Mountains are, the North is too far, the West is too cold and is currently being hampered by the demon spirits…"
Fang Yuan looked at the map.
"If we go to the middle we'll never return… seems like we can only expand towards the east?"
"Technically speaking, as long as we destroy the demon spirits wave after wave and settle the issue of the rations, we can expand anywhere we want…"
Extreme Yin replied and smiled bitterly.
By now, the Demon Spirit army had swept across half of Da Qian like winter, causing all living beings to cower in fear of them.
Every other faction was retracting their forces and making plans to get through the dark times. Only Fang Yuan was thinking of expanding his territory.
"'No matter what, being prepared is half the battle won!"
Fang Yuan gave a mysterious smile.
He was confident in his botany skills.
The entire Da Qian empire had crumbled in the face of the demon spirit invasion because of adaptability issues and the fact that the dream masters were not powerful enough.
However, following the propagation of the Green Elemental Grass, the world could finally begin to fight back.
Thus, Fang Yuan could take this opportunity to make some revolutionary moves!
Fang Yuan shut his eyes momentarily and he could smell change in the air. He giggled silently.


This is the story of a boy who lived a secluded life in the mountains, tending his farm, rearing his fish, and dreaming his dreams. Eh? Did I suddenly conquer all worlds and become the big boss? Or am I still in a dream?

Everything was just as Gawain had expected.
News from the south would unsettle the King and the nobles, and with the warning from the resurrected ancient, this tension might rise to a level of panic, but it would just stop there.
Those who had not experienced the Dark Wave and could not imagine it would not be compelled to take action. Even if Gawain brought some swords and armor corroded by the elemental power as evidence, it would not be enough to drive them to make a higher level response.
After all, there existed some cases of "unusual phenomenon" where swords and armor were corroded by magical power, thus they could not be definitive evidence that the Dark Wave would make a comeback. In fact, even Gawain himself was making some bold speculations based on the information from his memories. He was not even very confident himself that the end of the world was coming.
There was nothing wrong with Francis II's response. He could not simply put the entire kingdom into a state of preparedness for battle based upon his sudden news alone. Even if he wanted to, the large, backward feudal system did not allow him to do so. And even if the Dark Wave really came, it would not be wise to conduct combat preparations now across the whole kingdom. The monsters in the south and the magical power surge were only a sign. They were not even the vanguard of the Dark Wave. The real Dark Wave might take months, or even years to happen, (if it was going to happen), but before then, it would be only calm.
During the period of calm, to require the kingdom to be battle ready when no evidence could be found, perhaps the Moen family back in their heydays might be able to do so, but the Second Dynasty now… had already lost its ability to rally supporters.
Francis II even ordered the Duke of the East not to make a move.
A resurrected founding duke's prestige might be very influential, but if to use such prestige to interfere in the kingdom's order would probably be an overreach. Gawain understood this very clearly. The power of his words here was as good as a flower scepter, pretty but powerless. The basis of the Cecil Clan was almost gone. It had no land, no soldiers, no generals, and even the travel expenses to the capital were borrowed from others. For a clan that had always been quite pragmatic, this was quite an awkward situation to be in.
So Gawain held down Rebecca, who still wanted to say something, looked at the King opposite and said, "We have delivered the report and brought up a warning. It is up to you to decide how you are going to deal with this specifically."
"We will take your warning seriously," duke Victoria Wilder said in a cool voice. "All investigations will begin immediately after the meeting, and we will bring the news to you at the quickest time."
"Investigation… Well, I guess that's the only way." Gawain nodded, and he changed the topic. "That's all for now. Let's now talk about Cecil Clan's matters."
This time, the atmosphere became tense instantly.
"Relax, don't look like "the old ancestor popped out of the coffin and is demanding that the paper money burned over the years be cashed out to him," Gawain joked, waving his hand, and then he realized that no one seemed to get his corny joke…
It was very awkward.
"I know what happened a hundred years ago, and frankly, I really want to kill that degenerate descendant." Gawain's face twitched, and he dived straight into the topic. "So I have no intention to reverse the verdict. I just want to get back something that belongs to me personally."
Francis II and the dukes looked at each other. Their expressions seemed relaxed. Gawain went ahead to talk about the earth-shaking event a hundred years ago, and they all seemed relieved. After all, it was so pressuring for anyone to start speaking on this sensitive topic that their blood pressure could rise to two hundred. It was truly a breath of relief that this living ancestor could be so empathetic towards the younger generation.
But after heaving a breath of relief, they became tense again. What were those things that belonged to Gawain Cecil?
Everything belonged to the feudal lord. This was the rule of the aristocracy. Everything in the old Cecil Clan, including the fief, vassals, and the titles, etc., all belonged to Gawain Cecil. Which one was he referring to?
Everyone was tense in their bodies where others could not notice while only Francis II looked quietly at Gawain, and nodded calmly.
"Relax. Most of my things from when I lived have already been passed on to my heirs. That worthless descendant squandered some things, and I can't force them to be returned," Gawain laughed. "What I'm referring to is that which cannot be inherited, for example… my right to develop new regions."
The nobles and the advisors looked at each other. Then the scholarly, well brought up gentlemen and ladies were immediately reminded of the ancient and sacred decree on pioneering.
It was a glorious commemoration of the Second Settlement. It was a testimony to mankind's bravery in surviving the most desperate situations, the ordinary people's vow to not yield to the natural forces. Up till today, it was still part of the basic laws of the four nations. It was a law which would no longer have a chance to take effect, but one that also no one dared speak out to repeal.
The original version of the pioneering decree was even engraved separately on a platinum plate, enshrined in the halls of every nation.
But everyone only kept it as a memorial! It was for posterity! It would be a symbol of the proper continuation of the legacy!
Suddenly this was going to take effect again?!
However, apart from shock, the expressions on people's faces hid faint relief, and this change in expression did not escape Gawain's eyes.
So he also relaxed himself and began to discuss with the people present about the permanent right to develop regions.
Gawain believed that this would not be too difficult.
Compared to a living ancestor returning to the world to ask for the cashing out of paper money burned for the past hundreds of years and also the vast expanse of land he had seven hundred years ago, that could have been a nation by itself, a permanent right to develop regions was hardly anything. Though it might sound scary, it would not affect the vital interests of anyone present, and since there would be no conflicts with their interests, it would be easier to discuss with each noble (including the King himself).
And this was also the result of Gawain's deliberate push.
He had kept a high-profile along the journey, spreading all kinds of news, and even when he entered the capital, he took out the banner from seven hundred years ago, appearing in an overbearing manner. This was meant to make people think that the living ancestor was trying to reverse the verdict for the Cecil Clan and recover all the clan's fief, thus making everyone come up with a way to respond so as to cross verbal swords when the time came to protect their own interests.
However, Gawain's objective was only the permanent right to develop regions.
This difference was basically equivalent to shopping for a watch, where the original price was 860,000. After a discount of 25%, it would feel like one had gotten a great deal.
One would even begin to suspect if the watch might be a fake.
But even if the watch that costs 25 was fake, the ancestor was real. If he really just wanted to have his permanent right to develop regions… what could they do?
—Insert 'Okay Okay Okay We'll Give. Take It Old Man. Go Open Up The Lands And Don't Come Back.jpg'
If Gawain had not done any groundwork before and brought up the permanent right to develop regions from the beginning, perhaps things would not have gone so smoothly. The greedy nature of the aristocracy would want to extract a piece for themselves even on such a matter, but with so much preparation done, it became much easier to talk about the pioneering right.
The King and the dukes present did not have much of a discussion before agreeing that the right to pioneer itself should be recognized. It must be recognized even if they did not want to since it was not only Anzu that agreed and signed the permanent right to develop regions, but in fact the four major human kingdoms at the time had also recognized this decree. These witnesses also included the elves from the Silver Empire in the south of the continent…
Those secretive and particularly longevous elves.
They had an average life expectancy of 3,000 years or more. They were extremely particular about caution and good faith that they were known to be very stubborn. When signing the permanent pioneering law back then, the elves were one of the witnesses. In order to make this decree more solemn and credible, a copy was even written in the elven language and given to the Silver Empire for safekeeping.
Although everyone knew that it would be impossible for the first generation of pioneers to live for so long, the humans insisted on putting a "permanent" label on it and to have a longevous race to be witnesses. Probably a human quirk…
Anyway, the representative of the elves at the time said that "humans are truly strange" as they brought their copy back to their kingdom. Then the Elf Queen happily stamped her copy. After seven hundred years had passed, the Elf Queen, who was only a young and ignorant elf who recently ascended to the throne, was now… still the Elf Queen…
She could still remember the stamp she made back then. How could they not recognize this law?
In any case, Gawain mentioned that if Anzu would not recognize the right to pioneer, he would take his clan around the continent to the Silver Empire since there were still undeveloped areas around the forest of the elves. There were also some acquaintances of his there. They would surely get along with the Cecil Clan…
The founding ancestor having to leave the kingdom because he could not stand being demeaned in his own kingdom, took his clan to another race's territory to live in the trees. How could people show their faces around if word were to spread about this?
So everyone present agreed that the right to develop would be preserved, but the concrete details about the places where he could develop… this would make the next round of discussion.
"There are no more uncultivated lands in the kingdom. Every inch of land has its owner." The King's Hand, Eden Alfred stood up. This steady man, Francis II's right hand. He knew well about all the states of the kingdom. "Beyond the kingdom, there are few uncultivated lands in the border areas with other countries. Even if there are, those are places that cannot sustain life. Take the buffer regions by the Gondor wastelands. duke, where do you intend to open up lands?"
Gawain waved his hand. "Bring the map."
When the map was presented, Gawain looked at the map and could not help but frown slightly.
Even though the world had convenient magic, assistive abilities such as bird's eye, forest sensing, and surveying that could help people draw maps, the map before him was still very crude. There were even some problems with the scale.
Compared with the "satellite view" in his head, this was almost as good as a doodle.
Perhaps it was because magic was too convenient that it affected the development of many things?
Gawain pondered, comparing the map with the accurate one in his head. Then he pointed his finger to an area on the rough map. "I'll start from here."
It was a mountain range on the borders of the Gondor wastelands and Typhon.
The Dark Range.


During Gawain transmigration, a little problem occurs.
After hovering in the sky above the land of a strange world for over hundreds of thousands of years, he realizes that perhaps his transmigration is completed by acquiring a physical body.
Never did he imagine that he would have to guide the body out of a coffin after going through great difficulties to obtain it, only to come face-to-face with his two extremely shocked great-great-great-great... great-granddaughters, and also—
Be thrust into a world that's the verge of its era’s end.

…
Not many people knew the story. After the Tyrant and united the Korean Peninsula, people became curious. Why didn't the Tyrant come up earlier?
The fight between the south and north was close. Considering the Tyrant's nature to invade and conquer, it was curious as to why he came up after 50 years.
"He couldn't come up," Giwon said. "It was about 30 years after that he took control of the south. And when he did… he found the unexpected."
A port.
The Tyrant was overjoyed. With the port in their hands, he did not have to care about a Korean peninsula. The ships were available for him to travel outside to other lands. 
"It was an adventure that only the Tyrant could take, I guess. We don't have any information regarding other lands."
It was 30 years after the world changed. They did not know what was it like outside the world they were in. Yet Ilgyu did not hesitate.
He plainly thought that there was no one stronger than him.
With this in mind, he invaded the vast lands of China. However, when he arrived, he was faced with the impossible. The vast amount of land was ruled by one person.
The Swordmaster.
The monster who would later be known as one of the Phenomenal Nine, overpowered Ilgyu and killed half of his men. That was the first time. Ilgyu barely escaped fearfully… and a few years after-
"He faced the second monster."
At the coast of Polynesia, he faced the ruler of Australia.
Cactus Bill. 
The navy was comprised of weird metal ships that decimated the remaining half of the Tyrant's ships. He had lost too many forces and resources. That's when he changed. He was once cold and ruthless, but he had a clear mind. However, he was now full of damaged pride.
I will kill them all!
I will rape the swordmaster and set Australia on fire!
I am the best!
…
And when the story was finished, Dohyuk was no longer on Giwon's back. They were at Giwon's private place, in the basement of the old ruins in the city. They were in Giwon's region.
"Coffee? It's not that good, but it's okay."
"…"
Dohyuk couldn't understand.
"…I don't intend on saying I'm the best."
He heard that he was the best out of the Phenomenal Nine. But the Tyrant was decimated by two of them whereas the Tyrant fought against him as an equal?
"You make it sound like I only won against the Tyrant because he had lost too much against those two."
"You are right," Giwon answered as he put the water up on a portable stove. 
"The people in this region don't really know the Great Emperor. No one called you that even when I was killed. Not even the people by your side called you that."
The Tyrant didn't consider Dohyuk to be that dangerous either. He just thought Dohyuk had flirted with the Swordmaster to be given the north region.
"And so were the Phenomenal Nine. North America and Europe were mysterious places, and we had just heard about the third monster who reigned in the Middle East."
"…I see."
Dohyuk then realized why Giwon decided to follow him. The reason why Dohyuk wasn't viewed highly in this place was simple.
"So I wasn't that strong back then."
"I don't know. I mean, you were as strong as the Tyrant himself anyway."
Dohyuk or Tyrant, neither of them were even close to fighting the Swordmaster at the time. But it was different afterwards.
"I… do not know how you became such a figure after that. But what's certain is that you still hold that possibility. That's what I believe in."
Giwon handed Dohyuk a cup of coffee.
"And how do you feel about my region?"
"Disappointed."
His region did not have Casita's needle. It was a place that was not controlled by any god.
"Right. I can't even call it a territory."
Yet, it had its purpose as it shared the border with five different regions. 
"The Tyrant appointed me here. He's making me watch out... and keep an eye on other regions."
"And keep them from growing?"
"Right."
Dohyuk took a sip. It seemed like Giwon was a 'dog' from the beginning.
"Can I ask you something?" Giwon asked, "What are the top three things you think you need to be at the top of the world?"
"…" Dohyuk answered, "Power, resources, and charisma."
"Charisma…" Giwon nodded. "I see. I guess that's how you view it. I would rather call it a 'fear'."
Dohyuk did not object. He knew what Giwon was talking about.
"I think if you want others to bend to your will, you need to become more fearful then the Tyrant himself."
GIwon then took out a handheld flashlight and pointed to a map with various markings that Giwon made with a red pen.
"This is our region." Giwon explained, "And this, to the south, is the region that now lies in ashes. The two regions in the east are worthless for now."
There were two more regions on the map. There was one by the beach where Dohyuk was heading towards, and the region that the Tyrant visited every day. The remaining region was…
"It's a hell."
"…Hell?"
"It's the region governed by the infamous god."
A living hell. The monsters were strong and increased in numbers way too quickly for any humans to settle down. Only the followers had the 'possibility' of surviving.
"The one who controls the place is the Four Circle – Jung Ilhu."
"The name…"
"Yes, he's the Tyrant's twin."
Dohyuk looked incredulously at Giwon. The land didn't seem like much to send a brother to take.
"Ilhu was a follower of that god from the previous life. I think it was good for the Tyrant, to make it look like sending him there is normal. I mean, it's not normal to even want that place."
With what he just realized, Dohyuk then asked, "So, you mean he's hiding something there?"
"Yes. Quite possible. I think that's the only reason why he sends me here is to see if there are any unneeded clashes between the regions."
"…"
"What has to be done is simple. I send you in there, and you 'grow' with whatever that's within."
Giwon knew about Dohyuk's Nature. Dohyuk had to become more powerful if he was going to fulfill Giwon's wish.
"If I had time… I was going to find a way to put you in there.."
"That's unnecessary," Dohyuk said, "That's enough."
The map. He knew where the treasure was hidden and he had a map to get there.
"I want to get the item now."
"Are you going now? But-"
Dohyuk still didn't trust Giwon after all. If what Giwon said was true and Dohyuk succeeded in getting what was hidden, he would become much more powerful.
"Then maybe I can relax."
Giwon then stood as Dohyuk took something out from his pocket. Giwon thought he was trying to kill him, but…
<<Compass of Tyrant>>
"I don't trust you, but I trust you in some way," Dohyuk stated. He wanted to know the pointed to this man who was corrupt. Why did he have the same 'wish' as him? 
"I will see you s…"
Before Dohyuk could finish, a man rushed in, calling out to Giwon.
Dohyuk quickly dived toward the ground.
"S-sir!"
"Do you wish to be killed?"
The Two Circle became silent after seeing Giwon's cold eyes. 
"Bursting past the door isn't the right process."
"B-bu-but…"
He glanced around. On the ground was Giwon's prize, the mysterious man that he had up in the ashlands. Blood was seeping out from man's head who seemed to be lying on the ground, unconscious.
"Speak, before I punish you."
"…!"
Then the man brightened up and tried to speak.
"It's not needed."
With the voice, the man was sliced off from his shoulder to the waist.
"Did you see that? He was relieved when you told him to explain."
"…"
"Dumbass idiot. He should've objected right away. Do I need to be 'explained' when I come to see you?"
"…No, sir."
Dohyuk listened carefully. It was the first time he sensed bloodthirst even without seeing the person.
"I heard about it while I was coming here. You killed two Three Circles? Isn't that too much?"
The Tyrant spoke while cackling with a smug face.
"Is that him?"

The world has turned into a hell, a place where the strong thrive!
Everyone has future knowledge.
But in the end, only those who are destined to succeed will succeed!

Consequently, the remaining few War Gods who had yet to engage in the challenge were suppressing their aroused emotions. At the same time, they felt the stress too. 
There was a Limit Douluo on their side, while on the opposing side was the Tang Sect's Sect Master who created miracles on multiple occasions. 
The most terrifying part about the Tang Sect's Sect Master was the elevation speed of his abilities. It was revealed during Xu Lizhi's display of his full set of four-word battle armor. Could it be that he did not possess a full set of four-word battle armor despite being a Divine Craftsman? On the other hand, a four-word battle armor master whose cultivation base was not much lower than a Limit Douluo's might not necessarily fail at resisting the Skycrosser Douluo. 
Tang Wulin's quick defeat of Qiangu Zhanting had left behind a profound impression on them. No one knew the extent of the Tang Sect Master's inner secrets actually. The scary part was that they had no idea how much he had improved recently. 
In theory, the War God Hall was supposed to have the upper hand in the group battle. However, the numerous War Gods dared not look down upon Shrek Academy either. They were greatly astonished after having witnessed the Body Douluo earlier.
Finally, the circular platform stopped moving. The wall on one side cracked open. The Skycrosser Douluo led the way while the rest followed behind. 
The people walked in a single file into a spacious hall. 
The peculiar soul circuits in the surroundings formed large patches of densely-arranged striations which emitted a faint red glow. They appeared like the insides of a human body full of blood arteries. 
They walked to the center of the hall when the Skycrosser Douluo abruptly stopped walking. 
His right hand pressed an unseen button in the air. All at once, the surrounding soul circuits became illuminated instantly. A band of red light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Skycrosser Douluo. The red light condensed and transformed into a light orb with a diameter of about half a meter. 
The Skycrosser Douluo raised his hand and pressed the light orb. His squinted eyes gave out a radiance which was circulating inside his eyeballs. It was difficult to tell how he controlled it. In the next instant, the light orb projected a stream of radiance onto the sky. Later, it transformed into a light screen. 
It was a square diagram which turned out to be a map upon closer scrutiny. 
"Our small world is known as the 'War God Battlefield'! Its size is about five square meters, so it's not a huge space. However, it is quite stable, so all of you can be fully at ease."
The Skycrosser Douluo continued, "You can tell from the map that there is a clear distinction between the two sides of this location. It is a location which is specially used by our War God Hall's War Gods for the group battles on normal days."
Just as he mentioned, there was something which appeared to be a river stretching from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of the map. The whole map was cut into two triangles. One side was marked in red while the other was in blue. The two sides were divided distinctly. The upper right corner and lower left corner were each marked by a round marker. They were precisely the apexes of both regions which were quite distinct from one another. 
The Skycrosser Douluo said, "This is the small world built by our War God Hall. Although it's small, it's extremely stable. Furthermore, each location is customizable. To be fair, the conditions on both sides are the same. In this world, the soul beasts are being simulated by us. On both sides, the strength of each soul beast is similar to a hundred-thousand year soul beast's. You will be attacked upon entering its territory. However, if you can kill it, then you'll acquire an overall elevation. For example, your soul power will be elevated by ten percent. We are unable to describe it precisely because it's a random event."
As he was speaking, the Skycrosser Douluo pointed to both sides of the river and the two spots close to the two regions' apexes.
"Upon entering the world, each team will appear near the apex of each side respectively. Those will be the starting points. There is a soul cannon battery placed at each of the starting points. The attacking ability of this battery can threaten a Title Douluo-ranked, three-word battle armor master. It can only be used to attack the opposing team. Away from the starting point, you'll find the paths which lead to the opposing team's region. Obviously, you're allowed to pass through the forest and valleys shown on the map. If you do so, you'll need to walk an even longer path."
"However, there are only three paths which lead to the other team's entrance from the starting point. Hence, you can only enter through these three paths. The three paths are equipped with three warning alarms which stretch all the way to the river. The alarms will notify you when the opposing team is approaching and provide their location. Thus, the objective is to destroy the opposing team's starting point and to protect our own starting point. Those are the rules of this challenge."
Frankly, Tang Wulin was shocked upon listening to the Skycrosser Douluo. 
Shrek Academy had their self-created small world as well. However, the cost of creating a complete, well-defined small world which was customizable to one's needs was certainly beyond Shrek's budget. At least, Tang Wulin did not think that Shrek Academy could afford it at the moment. 
It required the Federation's full support!
Undoubtedly, this mode of battle was new and original. It did not only test a team's abilities but also their intelligence during a battle between the two competing sides. 
On the other hand, the numerous War Gods in the War God Hall were more familiar to such a map battle as they would have the advantage. No wonder the Skycrosser Douluo generously offered them an hour to familiarize themselves with the environment. 
"Also, I'd like to add that you'll encounter soul beasts not only on the three paths. There is a possibility of running into soul beasts on the other paths as well. The soul beasts in both regions will attack a soul master without exception. Even after a soul beast is killed, it will be reborn at the same spot a while later." The smile on the Skycrosser Douluo's face at the moment made him appear shrewd and conniving.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and said, "Alright. Please take us in for a look if you don't mind. Oh yes, I'd like to inquire about the types of soul beasts in your War God Battlefield if it's alright? I'm sure that the War Gods already know that. I think we reserve the right to have such information too."
The Skycrosser Douluo pondered for a moment before he said, "I can't tell you the specific species and types of soul beasts since I myself don't have the complete knowledge of it. In order to simulate a good training exercise, the soul beasts in the War God Battlefield appear at random. I can only tell you about the two great one-hundred thousand year soul beasts on both sides. We use the data acquired from the Darkness Demon Dragon and the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King to simulate these two soul beasts. These creatures were part of the Ten Great Beasts which roamed the Douluo Continent in the past."
The Darkness Demon Dragon and the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King?
Tang Wulin recalled the Beast God he encountered in the Great Star Dou Forest back in the beginning upon hearing the names. He had a narrow escape during that encounter! Afterward, he did not encounter the Beast God anymore. Nevertheless, he dreaded another encounter with the Beast God. 
The Beast God Di Tian could even override the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa. 
"The soul beasts don't have the same cultivation base as the Beast God back in the past, right?" asked Tang Wulin. 
The Skycrosser Douluo chuckled and said, "No, of course not. If the real Beast God were still alive, it would have a cultivation base close to a million years. Let alone us, even the Hall Master may not necessarily be his worthy opponent. Our Golden-eyed Black Dragon King over here is equal to the Beast God at a hundred thousand year rank."
Tang Wulin nodded. "Alright, understood."
The Skycrosser Douluo said, "I'm going to send all of you inside so you can adapt to the environment right away. An hour later, we'll send you all a reminder to return to the starting point. Then, we shall begin."
As he was speaking, Guan Yue pressed the two spots on the red light orb in front of him. An even larger screen was projected on the sky displaying a forest-like world. Soon after, five streams of radiance shone upon Tang Wulin, Ling Zichen, Xu Xiaoyan, Sima Jinchi, and Yuanen Yehui. A red light flashed once. The five were sucked into the light orb and vanished without a trace.


Following the advancement of soul technology, the humans of Douluo Continent conquered the ocean and discovered two new continents. After being hunted by spirit masters excessively, the soul beasts are nearly extinct. After countless years of lying dormant, the King of the Soul Beasts has awakened in the Great Star Dou Forest. It will lead its remaining clansmen in taking vengeance against humanity! 

Tang Wulin is determined to become a powerful Soul Master. However, when he awakened his martial soul, it was actually a…

Incomparable talent. The battle of the Dragon King. The Legend of our Dragon King hereby begins.

As they left the castle, Landon quickly checked on the system.
'System, how do I use you to map out the territory?'
'Answering host. Host just needs to look at the map of the empire, stored in the system and highlight the territories that belong to host.'
'Just like that?', Landon asked almost not believing the system.
'Yes!'
'so what happens when I want to expand my territories?'
'If that were to happen, then host just needs to highlight more regions on the System map.'
Landon nodded as he listened to the system.
'This is also very useful, as the system will inform host if any there any enemy attacks or unwanted guests in the Host's territories.'
'That's good then'
Landon looked at the map and decided to draw a circle around Baymard. He made sure to add at least 20 meter difference between the city walls and the surroundings.
Once he was done, a pop-up screen appeared.
'Would you like to view your selected Territory on the Monitor?'
He was excited.
With a monitor, he could check every area in Baymard without being there in person.
This is extremely useful for times when he might have to leave the territory for urgent matters. He clicked on yes, and viewed the city.
Looking at the monitor, it resembled a regular flat screen T.V.
He could sea people fishing on the sea coast, people farming inside the city, people going out to hunt, the city walls, the castle, and so on.
He was satisfied with this 'mapping' function in the system.
Baymard was divided into 3 regions; the Upper regions, the Central regions and the Lower regions.
As he passed through the upper region of the city, he saw various estates. There were 16 estates, that each had at least 6 stones mansions and 10 small buildings on them.
These mansions were extremely huge, having their own courtyards and servant quarters.
Each estate was surrounded by a 4 foot fence. A person standing next to the fence, could see the entire estate without stressing themselves.
If it were back on earth, each of these mansions could be used to open a major University. They were big, but not as big as his castle.
'At least there are no nobles in the city to bother me'
The City lord used to stay in Landon's castle, while these other estate belonged to the Barons and dukes.
Once they heard that Baymard will no longer be under the protection of Arcadina, they all fled to the Capital.
They didn't want to serve Landon, so they left. What a joke, serving a 15 year old prince who has no power. In their eyes he was trash, a prince with only 330 soldiers? 
They were all way stronger than him physically and had a larger number of knights under their wings. In his world strength is everything.
They knew that Landon had been exiled along with his family to Baymard. Staying, would only bring the Wrath of the King onto them.
Choosing to serve Landon would be stabbing the king in his back.
Besides, they didn't want to lend any of their knights to aid in protecting Baymard. If a war broke-out between Baymard and any neighboring cities, there would be no reinforcements coming in to help them.
Coupled with the lack of food in the territory, it was not a risk they were willing to take.
They knew that the King was Indirectly saying 'I want Prince Landon out of Arcadina, and if anyone helps him, they would face the consequences.'
So they requested for transfers to different cities.
Once Landon and his men left the upper region, they arrived at the central part of Baymard. This region was where the villagers lived.
As the group moved through the city, they greeted the villagers and aided any who needed any form of assistance. Landon kept observing his surroundings.
Compared to the houses in the Capital, these ones could easily be destroyed in harsh weather conditions.
From his memories, the houses in the Capital were all made from stone and wood, making them sturdy and long lasting.
But the houses in Baymard were made of sticks, straw and mud. They all had frameworks made of Timber. Their walls are made of a dried mixture of woven twigs and mud. And their roofs made of straw. This houses were typically called Mud-Brick houses.
'No wonder it was reported that Baymard had the highest death rate in Arcadina.' He thought.
Looking at the roads here, they were not as good as the ones In the upper region. There were patches of mud on the ground and a lot of pot-holes on the roads.
On their way to the lower regions, they saw several groups of men heading towards the city gates with bows and arrows on their backs. They were probably hunters.
Once they reached the lower levels, it was all vegetation and farmlands.
Landon could see over a three hundred fields, but only about 5 people on them. It was clear to see that even the people believed that their lands were barren.
Looking west from the fields, Landon was surprised to see two giant estates.
He then turned to the east from the fields and only one gigantic estate there. Landon's interest was piqued. He turned to Lucius and the group.
"Why would nobles leave the upper region to build their estates here?, don't you find it very strange?"
"indeed my King", Lucius said and everyone else nodded.
"My King, maybe they found something valuable in this lower region and decided to stay here." said a shy knight.
The knight had blond hair and dark brown eyes. If he were on earth he would look like a K-pop artist. He had no muscles and looked incredibly weak, like a twig. Landon was not worried because once he started training them, they gain a lot of muscles.
The knight's voice showed a hint of shyness and fear. It was clear that he lacked any confidence in himself.
"What's your name, age, rank and Captain?", Landon asked.
"Billy Vein, age 17, Squire under Captain Mark. My King"
"Billy, that was an excellent suggestion. They might be things there that could help us better the kingdom. EXCELLENT." Landon said while smiling.
Inwardly Landon was shocked that Billy was 17 years old. He really looked like a 14 year old boy.
Billy was extremely excited to be complemented by the king. One had to know that when he spoke he was shaking like a leaf. Seeing his highness in high spirits, he felt more confident in himself.
The other knights also nodded and thought that what Billy said made sense. Afterall, even the villagers didn't stay here. So why would noble's? It all seemed very sketchy and questionable.
"Lets go West.... . I'm curious to know why they needed two estates there."


Chu Yi dies in a car crash and becomes Landon Barn, the illegitimate son of king Barn, ruler of Arcadina. Because his mother was a maid and the king’s greatest disgrace, his father had always despised him. The same could be said for his half-siblings. 

When he turned 15, his father had announced that the city of Baymard would be given to him, and would no longer be under the empire's control. It was a well known fact that Baymard’s lands were barren, and poverty stricken.... For god’s sake, this was banishment.

His deadbeat father had indirectly banished him from the empire.

Chu Yi woke up in a carriage, on his way to Baymard with a system

"So what if my father hates me? So what if I’m banished?.... I will turn my territory into a modern society"
