Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015

Based on the remains of the Sea God, Du You confirmed that the world’s ranks were at least tier seven, one tier higher than he had previously speculated. A higher tier indicated that the world had far greater developmental potential than he had imagined.

Higher-tier worlds meant greater benefits for him. The rarity of tier seven indicated that it wasn’t highly dangerous, suggesting that it was likely the world only reached tier seven, and it would be difficult to achieve tier eight.

While Du You didn’t know the specifics, rumors indicated that even if a world of tier eight didn’t have tier eight powerhouses, there would definitely be no shortage of tier seven ones. Thus, the scale of this world was more or less certain.

The next day, Shaliya arrived, and Du You took her to a special prison. Inside was the bound King of Hanhai, who was in a pitiful state, missing an arm and a leg, unable to move. His power had completely dissipated. Du You worried that power related to tier seven might enable the king to burst with strength, which was why he was restrained so.

"This is the King of Hanhai. I leave him to you," Du You said as he handed a knife to Shaliya.

Shaliya’s eyes reddened slightly as she took a deep breath and said, "Do you remember me, the one from the kingdom you destroyed? I have come to seek revenge."

"Ha! I have too many enemies to count. Who knows who you are?" the King of Hanhai disdainfully glanced at Shaliya, holding no respect for a defeated foe, even under these unusual circumstances.

With a cold laugh, Du You retorted, "Put away your prideful act, your schemes have failed. I will only keep those remains and not continue researching them. They are useless to me."

The King of Hanhai’s composure changed when he heard Du You’s words. He hadn’t expected anyone to resist the temptation of godhood. Judging by Du You’s expression, he wasn’t lying.

However, before the king could say anything, Shaliya suddenly plunged the knife into the heart of Hanhai’s king. "Die with regrets. There’s no need for further questions." The King of Hanhai didn’t expect Shaliya to be so decisive. His current physical state couldn’t withstand it, and his life force rapidly faded.

In the end, he couldn’t ask the questions he wanted to, dying with unwillingness and immense regret.

Shaliya collapsed into Du You’s arms, tears streaming down ceaselessly.

Whispering words of comfort, Du You consoled her, "It’s alright, don’t be sad. You’ve had your revenge, just focus on working peacefully from now on."

After some sobbing, Shaliya calmed herself down. "You’re right, from now on, I belong entirely to you, my Lord. And I also have Ke Jisi; I won’t be disheartened," Shaliya said as she lay in Du You’s embrace, not shy to let all of herself be pressed against him.

Who was Ke Jisi? Du You was puzzled, but before he could ask, Shaliya explained herself.

"Ke Jisi is my sister. I never imagined I’d have a sister who had hidden herself away. My sister is very capable in management, so I will trouble you with taking care of her." Was she finding a job for her sister without fearing he might devour them both?

After comforting Shaliya and dealing with the remaining matters, Du You acknowledged that there was still much to do. The settling of affairs in the Hanhai Kingdom and the finalization of the war were to take a substantial amount of time.

Delegating these specific matters, Shaliya and Luo Jia found themselves utterly exhausted.

Meanwhile, the political maneuvering and diplomatic activities required for a newly established Shenghai Kingdom, an inland nation formed after the fall of another country, were not trivial matters.

Returning to their territories with the two sisters, Du You was there to preside over affairs, but also to evolve his new skills, aiming for advancement. Whether the lengthy evolution time was due to the special materials used, even with the tier five Skill Hall, it was calculated to take around ten days.

Thankfully, the cost in Crystal Coins did not increase as much, relieving Du You to some extent. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

A few days later, when the war with the Hanhai Kingdom concluded, Du You submitted the task of eradicating the Hanhai Kingdom. First, he received a hundred thousand blue Crystal Coins from the blue treasure chest, more than all previous blue Crystal Coin gains combined. Of course, these were Origin Crystal Coins; Du You was not lacking in ordinary ones.

Next, Du You saw a blueprint which belonged to tier five—the blueprint for the Sea Serpent Tower (tier five).

"A defensive type of blueprint, eh? It requires a lot of resources, and a water environment is troublesome. The water environment must be expansive, at least a large inland lake would be necessary. It seems that such defensive structures are difficult to build in abundance on native land due to these requirements," Du You noted while taking the blueprint to the City Lord’s Mansion for record-keeping, then planned to construct a hundred of them in the sea. With a hundred tier five defense towers in the sea, coastal security would no longer be a concern. As for ships, after adopting the research data left by the Hanhai Kingdom, development was swift.

The treasure chest didn’t disappear. Du You continued to look through it and found another blueprint, this time for a branch of the armed forces. The blueprint was for the Frogmen Dock (tier four).

"Finally, a blueprint for aquatic combatants, excellent," Du You’s eyes brightened.

These aquatic forces could not only protect the seas of the now Shenghai Kingdom but also secure the waters around City of Islands and Yao River City and facilitate the opening of new maritime routes.

With Frogmen, controlling Murlocs would be easier. Most crucially, the Frogmen, although their origins were unclear, were shown as a human-type building, which meant their construction wouldn’t affect local production and quality. The fruits of eradicating the Hanhai Kingdom were indeed delightful.

"Hurry, build the Frogmen Dock. Yes, construct it along our coastal areas." Thankfully, the tier five expansion had already enveloped the sea within their territory’s borders, otherwise constructing the docks wouldn’t have been possible.

Indeed, the prerequisite for dock construction was the sea, which even inland lakes couldn’t satisfy. While his fish farms could be built within inland lakes, his docks were bound by rules that wouldn’t allow such a location.

The dock construction proceeded swiftly, completed in merely two days—slowed down only because of unfamiliarity with marine environments. Otherwise, the completion time could have been halved, especially considering it was just a tier four structure.
