Chapter 222: 233

What is the most efficient way to improve the strength of people inside the Divine Kingdom?

This problem had also been widely discussed by players. However, unlike the creation of exclusive laws that had standard answers, this one was purely a matter of wisdom.

Players valued three indicators: the average strength of people inside the Divine Kingdom, the number of powerful experts among the people, and the percentage of power the player could draw from their Divine Kingdom's citizens.

The first two indicators determined the maximum available power a player could possibly get from their Divine Kingdom, while the third indicator determined the actual power a player would get.

Gu Nan’s Divine Kingdom was even more convenient. Immortal Demon World’s special origin allowed him to directly collect his people’s power in the future, regardless of whether they were willing or not.

"With Wu Gui City as the boundary, divide the continent into two pieces and set up fifty city states on each side," Gu Nan's voice had no emotional fluctuations.

"Hold a competition of strength between the East and West sides once every six months. The losing party randomly selects a portion of the population in each city state and exiles them to the opposite side as official sparring partners."

"No matter which side, they both have to accept our administration. Those who dare to resist will have the same ending—they’ll become sandbags."

Gu Nan told Yan Xiaoxiao his vision for the Divine Kingdom’s future as concisely as possible.

Simply put, it meant doing everything possible to force everyone to cultivate hard. Although they wouldn’t die if they didn’t cultivate hard, their fates might be even worse than death.

It wasn’t just the two sides of the continent that had to do this. From the continent’s two sides to among the city states, and even within the city states—all of them will follow this set of procedures.

In the end, the participants who fight on behalf of each of the two sides must be the result of layers of selection.

Yan Xiaoxiao gradually understood Gu Nan's plan, but the expression on her face was sluggish rather than excited.

"The scope of everyone's activities will be limited to their own city state, and travel between the city states will be controlled by us. Those who leave the city without authorization will be killed."

"By us… Do you mean Azure Dragon Hall?" Yan Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling.

"Of course not," Gu Nan replied without hesitation. "Azure Dragon Hall will be the main force of the 50 city states in the West. I will provide you with the manpower to assist you later."

If it wasn't for this purpose, he wouldn't have specially constructed the law of resurrection and wasted a perfectly good law slot.

As if reading Yan Xiaoxiao's thoughts, Gu Nan smiled again. "You have to understand one thing. What I need is an aloof and detached god, not a human who’s influenced by the secular world."

Yan Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes and murmured to herself, "God, huh… What if I choose to be a human?"

"Then I’ll find someone to replace you. You will belong to a city state together with the people in Azure Dragon Hall." Gu Nan said, "You should be glad. You can still stand here because I have no better choice for the time being."

Gu Nan didn’t mince words about his dissatisfaction with Yan Xiaoxiao. In fact, be it Gu Nian or Lu Zhanyu, even Lan Si was more suitable for this job than Yan Xiaoxiao.

But unfortunately, these three were either dead or unable to remain here long-term, so they weren’t fit to do this.

Managing the Divine Kingdom was a long-term and extremely tedious job. There were too many matters to deal with, so it was impossible to rely on reincarnators.

Yan Xiaoxiao's scope of sight was still too low. She hadn’t experienced the baptism of countless worlds, so naturally she couldn’t have an attitude of ignoring human lives.

Yan Xiaoxiao fell silent again upon hearing Gu Nan's very straightforward words and remained silent for a long time.

"I once taught you how to kill people, and I also taught you how to kill your own people. Now I'll teach you another lesson," while Gu Nan said this, their figures had already vanished.

The next moment, they appeared on the Western part of the mainland, inside the newly-built headquarters of Azure Dragon Hall.

"Hall Master."

"Hall Master."

Azure Dragon Hall's executives soon noticed the two newcomers and greeted Yan Xiaoxiao one after another, their faces filled with joy.

They had good reason to be happy. They inexplicably won the battle in Wu Gui City. The nation and sect in the East were now leaderless, just waiting for them to harvest and control those forces.

The day when Azure Dragon Hall could unify the world was just around the corner. The first female Empress in the continent may soon be born, and all of them will be ministers of the Empress. How can they not be happy?

"Hall Master, when shall we depart for the East?" A middle-aged man walked up with obvious excitement, not hiding his ambition at all.

This man's name was Dong Xing, one of the most famous generals in Azure Dragon Hall, and he was also one of the people who were most keen on war.

There really was no need for him to hide his ambition. Azure Dragon Hall had struggled for over 20 years, and the fruit of their labors was finally ripe now. Was there any reason not to pluck it?

‘Although the Hall Master seems a little strange recently and has been a little hard-to-find. She even brought over a pretty boy today?’

Dong Xing cast a glance at Gu Nan next to Yan Xiaoxiao, and a small smile appeared in his eyes.

‘Hall Master has been single for over 20 years. Now that the world is at her fingertips, it's indeed time for her to relax.’

However, the expressionless young man's first words stunned him a little, "See that? A worm who’s destined to die actually dares to call himself your brother."

"W-What did you say?!” Dong Xing suddenly became furious. Although he didn’t quite understand this person’s meaning, that aloof and indifferent look irritated him at first sight.

The next second, he saw the young man wave a hand gently, and a ball of black mass appeared inexplicably. Then his vision faded to black, and he completely lost consciousness.

Dong Xing's head exploded, while Gu Nan's expression remained unchanged.

On the contrary, with his death, a shadow gradually rose from his corpse, quickly turning into a pitch-black human figure and bowing. "Master."

This was, of course, the application of the law of resurrection. Gu Nan studied the Dong Xing created by Shadow Form. Actually, he wasn't too satisfied. He could only say that this was barely usable.

The law of resurrection driven by the power of shadows was somewhat lacking.

Not only did these servants merely possess the most basic intelligence, but even worse, only their outer skin could be simulated. Their insides were just a mass of shadows, and any slight movement would betray their inhuman identities.

He never personally used the law of resurrection in his past life. In the hands of those summoner-type players, they naturally had all kinds of abilities to supplement this skill and perfect it, but Gu Nan didn’t have this time.

‘In the end, it was merely a last-minute decision… Let’s just make do. Anyhow, it'll basically only be used inside the Divine Kingdom.’

While Gu Nan was observing the shadow servant he created, Azure Dragon Hall’s headquarters had already exploded into chaos—Dong Xing was killed right in front of their eyes, which was unacceptable to anyone present.

"Hall Master, who is he?!”

"Now that our great undertaking is almost complete, Hall Master, you can’t wait to eliminate your old brothers?"

One after another, questions and denunciations filled Yan Xiaoxiao's ears, making her heart more and more conflicted.

"Teacher, can’t you… spare them?" Yan Xiaoxiao understood what Gu Nan wanted to do ever since she saw Dong Xing's appearance after his death.

"You are the god who will manage these mortals." Gu Nan looked at her coldly. "Feelings like sympathy, mercy, pity, vanity, and anger are all unnecessary."

As he said this, Gu Nan's shadow clones rushed out endlessly, killing the top officials of Azure Dragon Hall one by one.

Yan Xiaoxiao could only watch this scene silently. She knew that she was powerless to resist. She had always been a smart person.

"If I lose even those emotions, then what will I have left?" She looked up and asked, seemingly talking to herself.

"Power beyond your imagination."
