Chapter 1840: Chapter 1840

As soon as he came out, Du You saw his chief steward of all territories, Shaliya.

Shaliya’s eyes were slightly red, and she threw herself into Du You’s embrace. "You finally came out." This was the first time she had been separated from Du You for so long, and even though Shaliya had reached the seventh tier, she couldn’t help but miss him a lot.

Du You felt a bit guilty as he glanced at the timetable; it turned out he had been in closed-door cultivation for a full ten years. Speaking of which, because he had always been in the process of comprehending things, Du You hadn’t really felt the passage of time; it had gone by too quickly.

Before long, others who had gotten the news also rushed over, so Du You had to let go of Shaliya and greet them one by one.

After all, in his territory, there were now quite a few eighth-tier individuals who had joined, and Du You couldn’t completely ignore them.

These people might not be of much use to him, but they were greatly beneficial to Earth. Each eighth-tier person on Earth made the planet a bit safer.

"Congratulations, Your Grace, on your increase in strength. We noticed that the rapid increase on Earth indicated that your strength has been improving smoothly."

Du You nodded slightly, "Thank you for your kind words. The gains this time were truly plentiful."

"You’re welcome, you’re welcome." The person being thanked immediately bowed, since he was of the eighth tier. In terms of status, the gap between the eighth and ninth tiers was enormous, and as Du You’s strength grew stronger, this difference would only become greater.

Right now, Du You was second only to Venerable Ming. Of course, they didn’t yet know how strong Du You really was, but in terms of status and contribution to Earth, Du You was definitely second only to Venerable Ming.

None of the other ninth-tier individuals had, at least so far, brought an entire ninth-tier world under Earth’s control.

Soon thereafter, Xi Qianxue and others also returned. Seeing so many people, even though the few of them were looking at Du You gently, none of them stepped forward; in public, they still had to be mindful of appearances.

They hadn’t yet gotten used to their rapidly rising status; they hadn’t reached the point of ignoring the surrounding influence.

"Oh, has Elsa already broken through to the eighth tier?" Du You suddenly realized that Elsa’s aura was different.

"Of course, Elsa is the most talented among us, so initially breaking through to the eighth tier wasn’t all that difficult."

The people around, upon hearing this, were filled with envy. Having a strong leader guiding the way, Elsa’s journey could be described as smooth sailing, allowing this Beastman from the Other World to easily reach the eighth tier.

Moreover, it seemed that she also had the potential for the ninth tier.

If the Other World could produce one more ninth tier, that would make three. The key point was, this person was close to Du You, which meant that Du You would have a significant influence no matter where he was.

"Very good, very good, but it seems you’re also getting close."

"We were close back in the day, but our own potential was a bit lacking, so breaking through isn’t that easy."

Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao said somewhat helplessly, "Let’s talk about other things, you just came out, so I suppose you’re eager to know about other matters." The two of them started discussing territory matters.

Seeing this, the others gradually excused themselves, leaving the time for their own discussion.

Du You also came to understand some changes in the territory during this time. The biggest change was undoubtedly the Beastman world he had just conquered. This world originally belonged to the Beastmen, but now quite a few humans had emigrated there.

Additionally, other races had joined in too due to its complete openness. Although the Beastmen weren’t happy, no one dared to act rashly as those Kobolds had always been serving as Law Enforcers.

The number of Kobolds was too great, spread all over the world, and they were very familiar with local groups. If someone committed a crime, it was easy to catch them, and escape was impossible. Given this, who would dare to misbehave?

Since two years ago, when the Beast King’s corpse left behind by Du You was fully utilized, and the Skill Hall directly revived it, turning it into a ninth-tier guardian. Plus, the Kobold guardian from the Mage Tower had also reached the ninth tier, making this world completely stable. These were two ninth-tier entities, and they were much stronger than before.

With the level of this world, the strength of the two guardians would continue to enhance, likely to reach mid-ninth tier or even higher. With this, the world would be very safe indeed. Fınd the newest release on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

It’s a pity that even a ninth-tier guardian can only operate within and around the world, unable to stray further. Otherwise, relying on these guardians and Venerable Ming’s, Earth could be even more stable.

Now, world integration was progressing quite smoothly, with no initial problems. Based on past experience, the opening of this world would proceed more and more smoothly.

Due to the influence of the ninth-tier world, not to mention the people on Earth, even some of Earth’s forces that disdained Earth’s ways also came here. That’s why, besides humans, there are also other races. Many other races, who control their own worlds, look down on Earth’s practice of treating the Aliens as slaves.

This approach also provides others with a lot of valuable experience. Venerable Ming’s subordinates continue to research and observe here, possibly preparing to open up their world too.

After all, such openness makes the world more stable, and development easier. In the future, incomes could increase, and even Venerable Ming would not reject the benefits of improving his world and increasing crystal coin output.

After everyone else had left, Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao exchanged glances and suddenly threw themselves into Du You’s arms.

"Why did you go into closed-door cultivation for so long? Didn’t you know we were worried?"

Li Mengyao also said, "Although we understand it takes a lot of time to become powerful, we still missed you a lot. Please forgive our willfulness."

"It’s my fault, I made you worry." Du You felt a bit guilty, gently hugging the two. Letting them wait for so long, Du You indeed felt a bit distressed thinking about it.

"Don’t say anything, we miss you, let’s go to the room." Li Mengyao covered Du You’s mouth.

With a sudden clarity, Du You picked the two of them up, heading towards his room. Elsa watched enviously from behind, seeming to want to follow, but was stopped by Shaliya.

Shaliya shook her head slightly, "You should choose another chance, today belongs to us."

After speaking, Shaliya turned slightly, also following them, leaving Elsa alone with a frown. Fortunately, she had two sisters with her, so Elsa directly pulled them along to discuss something unknown.
