Chapter 469: Malicious Existence, Resources in Hand, and Rush to War (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Listening to Ari narrate this ancient mystery, Ji Chen’s mind surged with waves of curiosity.
These pieces of information seed to correspond with so of what he knew.
Having the knowledge from Earth, certain terms were quite comprehensible.
A crack appeared in the sky, and malevolence descended upon the world—did this an that so kind of entity invaded this realm?
The being known as the Sand Spirit, probably a deity, drove these malevolent entities out of the world but exhausted its power in the process. It created a few large oases with its last ounce of strength and then “departed.”
Did these deities not willingly leave but rather expend their power resisting the invasion, forcing them to abandon their divine realms and people?
At this mont, he recalled the words of the ghost ship.
“They” were about to return.
So, did “they” refer to the malevolent entities that had invaded in the past?
Furthermore, were these malevolent entities about to invade once again?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Ji Chen felt.
It was clear that even the most powerful beings in this world, the deities, could only repel but not slay these malevolent entities. They even depleted their power and left.
Motherfucker, did 1 just learn about sothing important?
Based on the ghost ship’s words, it seed like it was urging him to grow quickly and defend against these malevolent entities.
Ji Chen’s mouth twitched.
What kind of otherworldly joke was this?
After months of hard work, he only reached level forty-sothing and acquired quite a few heroic units.
Although he now possessed a decent army, it was still not much stronger than ants compared to the power of the deities.
Throwing such a massive challenge at him now placed imnse pressure on him.
After the conversation, Ari left the side hall, and Ji Chen leaned back on the sofa, his brow furrowed.
A sense of urgency suddenly surged within him.
If he truly had to face enemies of that level of power, his current growth rate was far from sufficient. He needed to strengthen the power of the Crown of the Ocean more rapidly.
Based on the ghost ship’s words, it seed that there wasn’t much ti left before the malevolent invasion arrived.
Moreover, these malevolent entities wouldn’t be limited to the now desolate South Continent; their evil influence would undoubtedly reach every corner of this world.
He had to accelerate his path to strength!
Everything needed to be expedited!
Ji Chen imdiately checked the current inventory of rare resources. Out of the four million rare resources brought back from the Starshine Islands, only less than two hundred thousand units remained after the previous recruitnt. This ager amount wouldn’t even cover the costs of the next recruitnt cycle.
The most significant reliance for rapid strength enhancent now lay in the Military Talent Tree.
Therefore, he needed to acquire more rare resources through various ans to enhance the strength of both his military units and hero units, recruiting more troops.
He began to contemplate what information and resources he had at his disposal.
The Crown of the Ocean’s trade, by exporting various goods, could steadily obtain rare resources. However, this thod, although reliable, required a significant amount of ti to traverse the vast seas and couldn’t yield large quantities of rare resources in the short term.
The Abyssal Layers of Darkness in the Great Luminescent Sea was a clear indication of the vast resources concealed within. However, he knew nothing about it at present and would need to send an exploration team to pave the way before conducting extensive exploration.
He once obtained a handbook of adventures and learned about the lost underwater city of Argo, which, according to the adventurer’s notes, contained a vast amount of mithril.
However, the location of Argo was in the Eastern Central Ocean, and unless there was a fast ans of travel like a portal, it was currently too far away for exploration.
The key to Gigantooth City, which he took from the Gno rchant, was potentially valuable, and he might get unexpected rewards…
The elven treasury of Gloria, an ancient elven city, held promise, but he only had one treasury key at the mont, and he didn’t even know its location, so that was a no-go for now…
Similarly, the enslavent contract scroll he obtained from the Gno rchant could forcibly enslave a higher being, but there didn’t seem to be a worthy target at the mont…
The divine realm key that could lead to a divine realm was extrely dangerous, and even epic-level powerhouses dared not enter it recklessly…
Upon closer reflection, Ji Chen had many valuable items at his disposal, but none of them could be used at the mont.
As he contemplated, it seed that the ongoing war between the Lienhardt Grand Duchy and the Kingdom of Bass was the most imdiate opportunity.
War often brought unexpected gains, and if he could take a substantial piece from the Kingdom of Bass while they were preoccupied with the Sea Beast Tide, it would be enough to make the Crown of the Ocean prosper.
So, he couldn’t just sit back and wait for the Sea Beast Tide to end.
While the Sea Beasts were causing chaos and the Kingdom of Bass was distracted by the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, it was the perfect ti for him to strike from behind.
Calming his thoughts, Ji Chen summoned Wilus.
Seeing his solemn expression, the loyal Chief Minister of Internal Affairs realized the gravity of the situation.
“Convey my orders. I will leave with the army in the coming days to participate in the war between the Kingdom of Bass and the Lienhardt Grand Duchy.
During this ti, you must protect the Crown of the Ocean diligently and ensure that you wait for my return.”
Wilus didn’t hesitate and bent his tall posture, his deanor resolute.
“I shall follow your supre will.”
One day later….
