Cat People and Multi-Ard, such small forces, were inherently unable to be self-sufficient and had to risk exploring the outside world periodically. Often, a familiar face would not return from such expeditions.
Even the Featherman force, which had isolated itself for decades, included many old Feathern who had experienced the brutal war decades ago.
At that ti, even at their peak, the Feathern had no power to strike back against the Overlords.
The gap in strength was so vast, it led to despair.
The older generation of Feathern had been frightened.
But now, the old Feathern suddenly realized that the Monster Overlords were not invincible. In fact, in front of the more powerful human forces of Tianyuan City, the Overlord monsters seed unable to withstand a single blow.
"We will expand, turn the wastelands into fertile grounds, eliminate all monsters without leaving a single one behind, and expel all the filth!"
"I hope to open up a world where we are untroubled by the disaster of Red Mist, where we don't worry about when monsters will attack, where we can live carefree!"
Mu Yuan said with conviction.
These words were not just for the Feathern or the Cat People, but also for himself.
The Eternal Continent had never been peaceful.
Even a large nation like the Tai Xuan Alliance suffered from the blight of Red Mist.
Every few decades or centuries, there would be major cataclysms that could wipe out tens of hundreds of thousands of territories, and even large nations could not ensure their survival.
In ancient tis, the Bright Empire, which spanned countless Great Domains and had billions of powerful beings, also collapsed in a great disaster.
It was as if it was natural for the Eternal Continent to be plagued by disasters.
This was a natural calamity.
It was a set rule.
But why couldn't it be broken?
Cough cough, this dream is rather distant, as currently, Tianyuan City is still just a small fry compared to the entire Eternal Continent.
But looking at the Ten Directions Island Domain before us, Tianyuan City is indeed the sole and rightful Overlord, the only Overlord.
They may well be called the Lord of the Great Domain!
An island domain is still a domain.
"The great enemy has been defeated, and now, it's our ti to expand our territories."
After a brief silence, the army of Tianyuan City set out once again, surging towards the remaining Monster Tribes in the Northern Border.
After annihilating the Monster Tribes, the legions transford into Exploratory Teams, inch by inch they explored and asured the land of the Ten Directions Island Domain.
The Legendary Monsters seed to vanish, as no matter how he searched or tried to lure them, there was no sign of them.
But the Exploratory Teams did uncover so Miracle Buildings and special precincts.
In the north,
Atop a mountain perpetually blanketed with snow, ice-blue human-like beings frolicked, guarding a cold pool at the center.
This was the recruitnt building 'Ice Spirit Cold Pool'.
And it was permanent.
'You have occupied the wild Miracle Building 'Ice Spirit Cold Pool,' and can recruit Ice Spirits every week...'
…
In the Orochi territories,
a human-sized God Statue was buried in dense grass, unremarkable.
'Hint: You have discovered the special building 'Fertility Statue,' a first-level sculpture of the goddess in charge of the earth and fertility. Occupying this God Statue will grant the territory a bonus of 'Crop Growth Speed 100%.'
… Continue your adventure at empire
In a certain place, an ancient temple sat between the mountains.
The Exploratory Team defeated the occupying Monster Tribe and unearthed the temple.
"Alert: You have discovered a special structure 'Blessing Temple (Experience).'"
…
In a certain place, ancient temples stood on the wilderness, but their glow was dim. When the exploratory team arrived, a group of wild monsters was bombarding and slashing at the temple.
The exploratory team swiftly eliminated the surrounding monsters, leaving behind a squad to guard and notify the nearby lords.
"Alert: You have discovered a special structure 'Spell Hall (Damaged),' and you can spend Soul Crystals to slowly repair this building."
…
The vast Great Blood Tree Forest had gradually lost its blood-red color, and this eerie forest was slowly returning to normal.
The exploratory team, within this forest, also discovered an odd and extraordinary precinct.
The precinct was not large, covering an area of about ten square kiloters.
Here, without any external interference, plants grew at a visible speed. In just a few hours, they went through the entire process of germination, growth, flowering, fruiting, and withering.
Among them, there were several Rare Level and Excellence Level dicinal herbs!
Duo Lai recognized them.
To not miss out on the treasures in the wild, it had gone through the headache-inducing materials and herb manuals, morizing every single word.
"This is Dragon Soul Grass, this is Celestial Fragrance Fruit, this is Bone Erosion Flower..."
With wide eyes, it clumsily but mostly correctly transplanted a Dragon Soul Grass that was growing to its ripe state.
But as soon as Duo Lai took the Dragon Soul Grass out of that area, the treasured herb in its hand withered rapidly and didn't even leave behind any residue.
"Wait, hold on, why is this happening!"
Mu Yuan also arrived at this place, standing outside and looking in.
After pondering for a mont, he said, "This might not be a complete dicinal herb. These herbs, or rather everything in this precinct, are part of this land. They cannot exist outside of it; not even picking a single fruit is possible."
So, what use is this precinct?
It appeared so special and mystical; there had to be a reason for its existence.
Mu Yuan gazed at the precinct, gradually imrsing himself in it.
The growth and withering of each plant inside it carried the profound principles of nature.
Suddenly,
"Ding!"
"Alert: Your troop type 'Tree Demon Granny' has gained insights from observing the Withering Flourishing Precinct, and the power of the Tree Demon Granny's growth-related skills has increased."
"Alert: ...The power of the Tree Demon Granny's withering-related skills has increased, and it has awakened the advanced skill 'Vitality Absorption.'
"Alert: Tree Demon Granny, upon observing the Withering Flourishing Precinct, has improved its Epic Skill 'I am the Forest.' Everything that perishes within the range of the forest will beco a source of vitality for the trees to grow. It can also wither certain trees, transferring and concentrating their vitality."
This place, indeed, was a treasure land.
Lord Shepherd also awakened a few minor skills.
"The Withering Flourishing Precinct is a world unto itself, subtly aligning with the natural evolution of nature and the land holds a very high standard."
Usually, it might take soone in the Legendary Skill Realm to truly comprehend its mysteries.
Legendary Realm? Even for the Tree Demon Granny, it was nothing more than a glimpse at the surface.
After unifying the island domain, the exploratory team's territory was still not widely explored; they had to be cautious of monster legendaries and adopt a steady strategy for exploration.
Even so, they had reaped substantial rewards in just a few days.
The Eternal Continent was indeed filled with treasures.
As Tianyuan City feasted, the other powers could also drink their fill of the broth.
Everyone had a bright future ahead.
"With Ten Directions Island Domain facing no major crises now, next, I should get ready to move towards the Great War Zone."
