Suwen was indeed a smart person, or rather, anyone who could stand at the top of the world wouldn’t be a fool. However, it just so happened that Suwen had this opportunity.
Faced with someone whose strength far exceeded his own and who was probably in the realm only spoken about in legends, Suwen took the initiative to pledge his loyalty without hesitation!
Although saying this in front of so many people was enough to completely destroy his image as the founder, despite looking young, Suwen was actually an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, so why would he care about this?
To save his own life and seek higher status and more power for his sect was what someone in his position should consider.
Suwen’s conjecture was absolutely correct. Without his words, Gu Nan would’ve already made a move and eliminated Zhongli Sword Sect by now, then returned to his Divine Kingdom to have Lan Si come over and clean up the rest.
But now that Suwen expressed the intention of pledging his loyalty, it truly saved the sect.
If they wanted to place the work of rebuilding White Mist inside a small plane where time flowed relatively faster, then they must rely on local forces.
Besides Void Cutter cultivators, those who wanted to enter “World” Level small planes could only rely on reincarnation.
And although a powerful Star Ruler like Gu Nan was able to bring some people into this world with him, the number he could bring naturally wouldn’t be very high. It would never reach the standard of establishing an organization.
So Gu Nan looked around and finally nodded. "Alright."
……
Gu Nan had already returned to the Evil God Temple inside his Divine Kingdom, while Lan Si stopped trying to clear the dungeon for the time being and went to Crescent Moon World to help Red Tail set up her organization.
With her current Tier 4 strength, it was indeed a waste for her to devote herself to clearing dungeons.
After all, "Splendid World" was only a low-level dungeon, and the highest level of power allowed inside was merely Tier 3. No matter how high one’s actual strength was, it made no difference.
With three professional mission experts, the speed of the dungeon run was over twice as fast as before. The first phase hardly hindered them at all and was quickly cleared.
On the contrary, the three were slightly stuck in the phase where their battle power was tested.
"My Lord." Seeing Gu Nan appear, a father and son pair who just came out of the dungeon hurriedly saluted.
The father and son's names were Lei Qi and Lei Ba[1]. They didn’t sound like father and son and sounded more like brothers, but their relationship was indeed father and son.
Lei Qi’s appearance was a middle-aged man with an anxious face, while Lei Ba’s appearance was a little boy who looked around ten years old with a figure similar to Ying Ge. When he saluted Gu Nan, he was still a little overcautious.
But it was precisely such a child whose ability in completing missions completely crushed a rookie like Lan Si.
Admittedly, this was partly a matter of talent, but another part was that Lei Ba’s real age was actually far older than Lan Si—this pair of father and son weren’t human beings, but elemental creatures.
They were thunderstorm elementals, the accompanying elemental beings of thunder titans. They were able to take on human form after their strength reached Prodigious Realm.
Gu Nan nodded slightly in response to the father and son’s salutes. The Evil God Temple was still very quiet.
Later, Yan Xiaoxiao came to see Gu Nan.
Ever since Gu Nan accepted Immortal Demon World as his Divine Kingdom, the newly-born origin quickly stabilized, and space inside the Divine Kingdom no longer collapsed as often as before.
So the prerequisite work that must be done before the Divine Kingdom’s construction slowly unfolded under Yan Xiaoxiao's direction once again.
"When the previous natural disasters occurred, many people lost their chances of escape because of the city-states’ restrictions." Yan Xiaoxiao stood beside Gu Nan and reported, "So there is great resistance to the re-implementation of the city-state system right now."
Human nature determined that while maintaining a certain concentration, society would inevitably spread out to the surrounding areas, be it population or industries.
Therefore, the completely closed-off city-state system essentially went against the laws of nature. Formerly, it was only able to be implemented due to the strong pressure Gu Nan applied.
"No matter, just try your best. There’s no need to force it too much." Gu Nan seemed particularly accommodating this time. He actually didn’t adopt any enforcement measures. Even Yan Xiaoxiao was surprised.
In her impression, Teacher had always chosen to kill dissenters in such situations.
After killing half of those who refused to obey, the rest would naturally obey.
Gu Nan smiled but didn’t elaborate. Of course it wasn’t out of kindness. Divine power was one consideration, but the real reason was that his Divine Kingdom had already been established, so he would soon be able to get the structure used to manage the Divine Kingdom’s populace.
The reason he had to resort to a series of measures and even construct the law of resurrection to manage the Divine Kingdom back then was because he was only Tier 4 at that time.
At reaching Tier 5, players essentially wanted to play base building games. How could they possibly run over to personally communicate with the Divine Kingdom’s residents?
Regional Management Platform, a Level 0 structure. As long as he had this, the city-state system wouldn’t need anyone to manage it at all. It could be done in a few clicks.
Using the shadow servants, resources were continuously transported to the Evil God Temple, and there were already enough resources to build the “Market,” so it wasn’t impossible to build a second structure too.
"So now, all that’s left is to wait for enough points to be accumulated."
……
The Divine Kingdom’s construction was being developed step by step, resources were constantly transported over, the dungeon of Splendid World was gradually cleared, Crescent Moon World had completely fallen into Gu Nan's hands, and a new White Mist had been established.
In a blink of an eye, another half year passed, and with "Splendid World" being cleared once again, the points in the Evil God Temple jumped to 10,000 again.
"Another 10,000. Then following the previous plan, the ‘Regional Management Platform’ will be chosen as the second structure." Gu Nan didn't hesitate much and quickly decided.
This was already his second 10,000 points. The Resource Market had already been established long ago, and all kinds of basic resources could be exchanged there.
｢Target Structure Chosen: Regional Management Platform
Construction Conditions: 10,000 points, 500 units of wood, 400 units…｣
As the Evil God Temple gave out a long list, a large number of resources were deducted, and a delicate stone platform the size of a lectern slowly appeared in front of Gu Nan.
"My Lord, what is this?" Lan Si also saw this scene. It wasn’t the first time she’d witnessed a "divine miracle," so she wasn’t too surprised.
"You'll know once you look outside." After the second structure was constructed, Gu Nan was obviously in a good mood and answered with a light chuckle.
After that, he ignored Lan Si and came to the Regional Management Platform.
The countertop was made of stone, but at this time, it showed a bright screen, which seemed like a high-tech product.
On the screen was a scalable map, which was the topographic map of the Divine Kingdom.
The Regional Management Platform was also a Level 0 structure, so it couldn’t yet do something as heaven-defying as changing the terrain, but its only function was enough for Gu Nan to use right now.
Gu Nan casually found the location of a city-state, then lightly drew a circle around the city-state on the screen. The word “seal” appeared in red around the circle.
Lan Si wasn’t in a hurry to go out. She was following Gu Nan and naturally saw this.
She vaguely understood Gu Nan's intention, but she couldn't help feeling that this was a little absurd. She hurriedly flickered and tore open space, her figure appearing directly above that exact city-state.
So Lan Si saw a scene that made her gasp in surprise.
The golden light was like a barrier, enveloping the entire city-state and plucking it right out of the ground together with the vast ground underneath it. All of this was quietly suspended in midair.
There were countless people crying out in fear and clamoring both inside and outside the city, which were already two separate worlds.
