Floating within the first layer of space, Zhou Zhou watched as his soldiers trained their skills and techniques using the fog monsters in the monster ranches.
"He's indeed a prodigy with a True god-tier potential."
"He's already advanced his skill to divine-tier."
Staring at Abel, he was surprised at his battle prowess.
Floating with the aid of his sword, the prodigy controlled four more swords to form a blockage that defended against the vicious attacks of the undead knights.
"It's just as I thought. There's a realm above the divine-tier."
His eyes sparkled excitedly at the prospect of a higher realm.
Others might think he was excited because he's seen a lot of growth in just a few days, and it would dwindle with time.
But that isn't the case. He spent 30 days in the Dreamland Tower yesterday, and today he spent 20 times that number due to the influence of the Tree of Time.
So, his excitement wasn't due to a rapid increase in the tier of his skill, but rather from the continuous progress he made towards his goal.
As long as progress is made, no matter how little, he would always act with his utmost will.
Keeping track of the progress of his soldiers, Zhou Zhou saw that a few of them were performing better than others.
"Sun Can, Zhang Xiang, and Daz."
He took note of the three of them.
After nine minutes, Abel, who was the last soldier, was forced out of his monster ranch.
"Now, for the main event."
Zhou Zhou muttered as he looked forward to the slaughter to come.
No longer retraining their strengths, the soldiers launched several attacks on the undead knights and the desert fog lizards, clearing the monster ranches safe for the last breed.
"Dominating the High Continent is possible!"
His heartbeat pounding profusely, Blazing Sun stared at his phantom storage.
[8,502,262,235 / 40,000,000]
"Over two billion promotion energy was added!"
"How much will I have after absorbing those from the recruitment book summons?"
Zhou Zhou couldn't believe the progress he'd made with just a couple of upgrades to his lord talents.
"Lord talents are really incredible."
He said before heading to his manor.
.
"They've finally returned."
Caitlyn stared at the fleet of sunsoars descending into the city as she muttered.
"We should finally be able to find out if the rumors concerning the fall of the Aurora Kingdom are true."
Halle said beside her.
Standing at the forefront of the group, Zhao Changshou had a tensed expression on his face.
"I hope the rumors are wrong."
He prayed silently as the sunsoars dropped at their landing site.
Stepping out of his sunsoar, Erkan exhaled in relief as he felt the embrace of safety once again.
"Erkan, is it true? Was King Li Yuangan really killed?"
The chief architect of Blazing Sun City asked as he walked towards his subordinate.
"The king of Aurora Kingdom was indeed killed."
"Aurora Kingdom is no more."
With a solemn expression, Erkan reported.
"No…"
Zhao Changshou mumbled as deep sadness shrouded him.
"It can't be."
"I need to save my uncle."
"My mom should be fine for the moment. She's quite far from the capital."
Voices spread through the transit after hearing the words of Erkan confirming the fall of the Aurora Kingdom.
"I need to bring master away as soon as possible."
Bao Xiu'er muttered as she quickly boarded a sunsoar cab towards the lord's manor.
Turning towards Caitlyn and Halle, the city's subjects with relatives in the Kingdom of Aurora pleaded with them to quickly contact the vice lord, Hui Teng.
"Everyone should stay calm and wait for the appropriate authorities. I assure you that the city will do everything within its power to bring your loved ones to safety."
"Sir Erkan, please come with us."
Caitlyn said before entering the sunsoar assigned to her, together with Halle and Erkan.
.
Retrieving over two million recruitment books after looting the corpses of the undead knights and the desert fog lizards, Zhou Zhou summoned the cavalries and the sword shield soldiers before having them eliminated.
"I'm still so far from obtaining the required promotion energy needed for Lu Chong and Bai Yung to transcend into divinity."
He muttered after seeing the number of promotion energy contained in the phantom storage.
Looking away, he pulled the corpses into his spatial ring.
"My lord."
Coming before Zhou Zhou, Hui Teng bowed.
Receiving the go ahead to continue, he said.
"Information about the fall of the Kingdom of Aurora has reached the city."
"Most of the subjects are requesting your aid in bringing their loved ones to safety."
Thinking in silence for a while, Zhou Zhou came to a decision.
"Have Zhang Xiang lead the reserve soldiers to bring the relatives of the subjects to the city."
"They're to obtain sufficient information from the subjects before taking action."
"While they're doing that, have the Sunstone Guild build tents for the relatives of our subjects to reside during their screening."
Listening to the words of his lord, Hui Teng acknowledged with a bow.
"I will do as instructed, my lord."
