Not long after, upon arriving at his bedchamber, Aurelius dismissed the maids and sat alone on the soft bed.
Buzz!!!
With a thought, golden ripples appeared around Aurelius.
Standing up from the bed, Aurelius stepped into the golden ripples, his figure instantly vanishing from the room.
When Aurelius reappeared, he was inside an infinite golden chaotic space.
Here, countless Noble Phantasm embryos floated in the air, and a large number of lifestyle Noble Phantasms could be seen everywhere.
Aurelius didn't spend much time observing this golden chaotic space; instead, he focused his gaze on the treasures he had just obtained.
This golden chaotic space belonged to the King's Treasure.
Here, countless golden Noble Phantasm embryos bobbed up and down, while rich golden chaotic energy flowed freely.
Since awakening the King's Treasure, Aurelius had entered this place many times, so he was now accustomed to it.
Standing in the center of the King's Treasure space, Aurelius waved his small hand slightly.
Subsequently, the four Devil Fruits, two Haki training manuals, one basic swordsmanship training manual, and the Great Grade Sword Sea Burial all floated in front of Aurelius.
"I hope that after turning into Noble Phantasms, they can give me some surprises."
Muttering softly, Aurelius willed it, and eight Noble Phantasm embryos descended from the sky, merging directly into the eight treasures.
Buzz!!!
The transformation speed was exceptionally fast. In just a few seconds, the eight treasures had completely turned into Noble Phantasms of the King's Treasure.
"Let me see what changes occurred after becoming Noble Phantasms."
His eyes lighting up slightly, eight screens appeared before Aurelius one by one.

After reading the eight screens before him one by one, Aurelius couldn't help but show a look of delight.
"Although these four Devil Fruits are just ordinary ones, their side effects are removed after becoming Noble Phantasms."
"In that case, if it were me, I could even become a humanoid Devil Fruit tree!"
"But... the development of the kingdom cannot be handled by one person alone. So, I'll use these ordinary fruits to cultivate loyal subordinates."
Rubbing his chin, Aurelius quickly made a plan for the four Devil Fruits.
As for the possibility of someone eating a Devil Fruit and then becoming disloyal, Aurelius didn't care in the slightest.
Because once a Devil Fruit became a Noble Phantasm, it belonged to Aurelius forever.
Aurelius possessed absolute ownership and control over the Noble Phantasm Devil Fruits.
If Aurelius granted it to someone to eat, and that person became disobedient, Aurelius only needed a thought to recall the granted Devil Fruit.
That is to say, if someone really ate a Noble Phantasm Devil Fruit, Aurelius could strip them of the fruit at any time.
"With this, I don't have to fear traitors when forming a legion of ability users."
After considering the plan for the Devil Fruits, Aurelius turned his gaze back to the three training manuals and the Great Grade Sword, Sea Burial.
At this moment, looking at these four treasures, Aurelius's eyes flashed with intense joy.
"Tsk, King's Treasure is god-tier!"
"I didn't expect my exclusive version of the King's Treasure to be so domineering."
"Not only did it purify the Devil Fruit side effects, but I didn't expect it to possess this kind of magical ability."
"Tsk... Passively accepting training experience, and actively learning powerful swordsmanship!"
"With this, I have a path to improve my strength."
"I don't like those four Devil Fruits, but I can learn the Dual Haki and swordsmanship."
"Not to mention, that unique Sea Burial Swordsmanship belonging to a Great Swordsman. Basically, as long as I successfully learn it, I will be the second Sea Burial Great Swordsman."
"Moreover, if I can obtain more swords of Swordsmen or Great Swordsmen, I can gather the strengths of a hundred schools and walk my own path of Kendo."
Excited heart, trembling hands; at this moment, Aurelius was truly shocked by the function of his exclusive King's Treasure.
"Phew~~~"
Exhaling a heavy breath of turbid air, Aurelius forced himself to calm down.
Before, he had been constantly anxious; now, he was shocked beyond measure.
Experiencing such great ups and downs, Aurelius could only rely on the powerful mental strength of a person with two lifetimes of memories to force himself to calm down.
After glancing around at the various Noble Phantasms in the King's Treasure space again, Aurelius turned and left the King's Treasure.
Sitting cross-legged on the soft bed, Aurelius began to think about his subsequent plans.
First, Aurelius would not eat the four Devil Fruits, as they were too ordinary.
Second, he was too young and his physique was not up to standard, so he couldn't cultivate Armament Haki yet.
However, Observation Haki and swordsmanship could be cultivated.
Before obtaining a desired Devil Fruit ability, swordsmanship and Haki would be his main means of confronting enemies.
Next, the four Devil Fruits couldn't stay in the King's Treasure forever; he needed to find people who were both loyal and talented to eat them as soon as possible.
Here, Aurelius suddenly remembered the squad of elite kingdom soldiers he had sent out when he was three years old.
At that time, after discovering that the world he was in was the Pirate World, Aurelius immediately sent a squad of elite soldiers out to sea.
The purpose of their voyage was to go to Sleepy Ancient Town in the New World to find that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
However, two years had passed, and there was still no news. He didn't know if they had died, defected, or simply hadn't found it yet.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Aurelius first drove those wandering thoughts out of his mind and continued to think about the previous plan.
Previously, the four Devil Fruits needed to be used as soon as possible. Then, the next step was to enhance the overall strength of the kingdom.
To open the Helios Kingdom to the world, strength was required.
Not only was high-end combat power needed, but the kingdom itself also needed base-level and mid-level military force (hereinafter referred to as Kingdom Force).
High-end force possessed the power to intimidate the sea. If they had a powerful force like Whitebeard in his youth to intimidate others, no one would dare to offend the kingdom when it opened its borders.
But the current him was just starting out. Even if he cultivated, he couldn't instantly turn into a powerhouse.
Therefore, Kingdom Force was what was most lacking right now.
With Kingdom Force, they could ensure that invading enemies would be blocked.
With the four Devil Fruits, and even more Devil Fruits obtained in the future, the Kingdom Force would gradually become sufficient.
Besides that, the three training manuals in the King's Treasure were also a way to cultivate strong individuals.
He could mass-copy the three manuals, turn them all into Noble Phantasms, and then distribute them within the army.
Then, the soldiers and officers in the army could better cultivate Dual Haki and swordsmanship.
In this way, as long as they developed step by step, the kingdom's overall combat power would be greatly improved.
Furthermore, if there were enough Swordsmanship Manual Noble Phantasms, he could turn the entire kingdom into a Nation of Swordsmen.
By then, a large number of various schools of swordsmanship would emerge one after another.
He could also collect those schools of swordsmanship, gather the strengths of a hundred schools, and walk his own path of Kendo.
After briefly envisioning the future plan, Aurelius's eyes appeared incredibly clear.
The most fearful thing for a person is not having a clear goal.
Now, Aurelius had his plan, although it wasn't detailed enough.
However, the most basic path was laid out before him. What he needed to do now was to start acting step by step.
While taking action step by step, he would gradually perfect his plan.
Self-strengthening — Cultivating strong subordinates — National cultivation — Opening the country!
