If I did, then I’d be able to add another mighty and pretty much unexpected force to my armies.

Well, my enemy was trying to prepare with everything it got, and I had to do the same.

Lord… Lord… Are you alright?

It seemed I got lost in thoughts for a long time without realising it.

“I need you to keep making them stronger,” I said in a serious tone, “make as many as possible as strong as you can.”

Leave it to me, lord. After all, it’s quite fun for me

“I know,” I laughed. Just thinking about the appearance of mighty monsters with cultivation bases in front of those Hescos vanquished lots of the stress I was feeling.

I liked the idea of having something my enemy didn’t count for.

As I finished here, I moved back towards the first training grounds.

I was eager to see if what old Gan said was true or not.

Once I arrived at the densely packed first training grounds, I saw a marvellous scene waiting for me.

Lots of races were heading towards one single direction; the direction of the portal zone. I saw tens of thousands marching, either from the training grounds or from the many paths in between mountains.

“Come out!” taking all of them out of the training grounds made the situation here quite risky and unstable. It was lucky that there wasn’t any monster outbreak here yet.

Or else, things would grow out of control.

To make up for all of this, I had to call out for my forces, my warriors!

“Go, secure this region and make sure any monster outbreak is vanquished,” I got millions of them and ordered them to stay behind and secure the frontline if needed.

It would lose all its purpose if I just sent them over to help in normal fights.

You are well aware that many of our forces have cultivation bases? and just I took my warriors out and aligned them at their posts, Lily sent. And taking them will affect the ongoing training out there!

I’ve already summoned my warriors to help!

That’s not the point!

I know! But most of these will return back to the training grounds and get stronger I aimed to get all those with cultivation bases, but I needed them to train as well.

So, I’d just take those who were strong enough and form a special force out of them. They’d be the ones fighting Hescos on that continent, and they’d become the leaders of the armies sent later on towards the different worlds.

That’s a relief. But… What about the monster outbreak? My men say we got less than a day!

I called for all my warriors for that. Don’t worry, I got this one covered I said, But from now on, we’ll focus on specially training races with cultivation bases

Won’t tell me the reason?

I’m coming to get you. So I’ll explain things face to face. Are you ready?

Give me one more hour and come to pick me then

I closed the chat with her before heading back to scatter my warriors and arrange them. Then something came into my mind when I was halfway.

“Tell me, do you have cultivation bases?” it suddenly hit me. Soulers got it. Necromancers got it. Even my fallen gods got it!

They just needed stat points to unlock their full potential and become stronger.

“Yes, lord!” and in such a unified tone, they all responded, even those far away from my current location.

This… This was like Christmas bells in my ears! Hahahaha! Another force of mine got their cultivation bases opened. That was an unexpected pleasant surprise for sure.

Another piece was added to the grand board, and now it was time to add more pieces as well.

My humans… Humans should also open cultivation bases and form grand armies as well.

What was the point of leading a human kingdom that didn’t have their strongest armies made out of humans? That would be ironic!

I spent the hour deploying my warriors before I went to check the portal zone. And there I kept laughing with all the grand number of races flooding towards here until the entire place got filled to the brim.

I’m ready! and in less than one hour, she sent me this message.

Don’t forget about me, I want to hear all the interesting stuff in the flesh and the next moment, another message came from Angelica.

It seemed these two girls kept talking behind my back about this.

Cool! I’m coming to pick you two over I jumped first to Lily and soon I found her. Then I jumped over to Angelica.

When I arrived there, a grand scene was waiting for me.

The last time I was here, the grand mine region had a few holes scattered here and there. But right now it was like many parts of this continent got removed by a mighty force.

I saw deep trenches and holes, looking like bottomless grand pits in my eyes. Many people were working, walking, climbing up or descending through the circular walls of these holes.

And on the ground lay tons of materials. Ores in different sizes were scattered there in their different colours, giving this place a sparkling appearance.

Angelica was using everything she could to get all the ores she could from here. And that was apparent over her face with such a wide smile that was there when she met us.

“What do you think? I wanted to let you see this, and that,” she turned towards one direction, where a weird looking ores were there.

I moved my chariot towards the direction she pointed at while recalling what she said to me before. She found special forms of ores, ones that looked quite dangerous.

And she got a point indeed. Even from far away, I could see arcs of different coloured rays dancing on top of these ores.

It looked weird, pretty unique and alluring, however they also gave me a dangerous vibe.
