Chapter 1003 - Gains

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

First, they obtained 21,000 Cities, which was a shocking number. It was the first time Great Qin had obtained so many Cities in one go, and it was almost half of what Great Qin had. These 21,000 Cities caused Great Qin’s strength to once again greatly increase.

Apart from the Cities, there were also the people and soldiers, which were even more shocking. After conquering the Southern Continent, they obtained ten billion people and 800 million Stage 1 soldiers.

How could these gains not make Zhao Fu feel delighted? The Southern Continent had 12,000 regions in total, and even though it seemed like they belonged to the Night Dynasty, in actuality, they belonged to Great Qin. Now, one-quarter of the Dark Demon world’s Fate was being slowly devoured by Great Qin.

It could be said that Great Qin’s Fate was now only a bit weaker than that of a Dukedom Kingdom; it was not something a Marquisate Kingdom could contend with anymore. After all, it now controlled four Continents, which was an immense area.

After hearing about their gains from this operation, Zhao Fu felt quite delighted. With such an immense amount of power being injected into Great Qin, even if the three other Continents suddenly attacked, Zhao Fu had the confidence to face off against them and was no longer as worried.

Because the Heavenly Domain Boundary was still there, Great Qin could not bring the people back to Great Qin, so they had to defend the Cities in the Southern Continent.

As such, they could only give all of those things to the Night Dynasty to digest. The Night Dynasty’s main task was to now assimilate everything and establish a Kingdom.

Even though Zhao Fu was quite worried that the human world would suddenly attack Great Qin, Zhao Fu could not leave because they had only just conquered the Dark Demon world’s Southern Continent. Outside, there was the threat of the three other Continents, and inside, there was the threat of an uprising, so he had to use all the power he had available to keep things under control.

Only with Great Qin present would the three other Continents not dare to attack the Southern Continent and the Dark Demon people who had submitted not dare to rebel.

After dealing with various matters, Zhao Fu went outside. The Night Dynasty’s people all looked at him with fear. Wherever he went, people quickly made way in terror.

Zhao Fu could not help but inwardly smile. These people really thought that he would destroy the Night Dynasty and make them all slaves. It seemed that Zhao Fu’s acting had been quite good, and many people had been scared, worried that Great Qin would do something against them.

However, only those most familiar with him would understand him. For example, the moment Zhao Fu gave the order, Bai Qi already could guess what was going to happen.

There was no need to make any explanations; it was possible that there were spies from the three other Continents. Zhao Fu controlled Ye Cang to calm down the Night Dynasty, telling them to go about business as usual and not to worry too much.

A bit more than half a month later, the situation in the Dark Demon world started to calm down. Neither side attacked the other, and as both sides completed their defenses, the situation naturally settled.

The Night Dynasty had completed the first steps of properly unifying the Southern Continent, and it had obtained control over all of the regions. The countless residents had all settled in, and a rebellion did not seem likely anymore.

What was also worth mentioning was that the Southern Continent was already covered with countless isolation barriers, which were incredibly complicated and difficult to break. If people wanted to break through them, it would not be so easy anymore.

At the same time, a large amount of the surrounding ocean was locked down as well. It was impossible to teleport to the Southern Continent, and people could only use boats. They could not even fly, as there were magic formations that prevented this as well.

It could be said that the defenses in the Southern Continent were quite solid. Even if an allied army of the three Continents attacked, Great Qin would have time to respond, so Great Qin’s forces could finally return.

Zhao Fu left matters here to the Night Dynasty and had them continue to digest the Continent and quickly establish a Kingdom.

After returning to the human world, there were not many changes, and Great Qin continued to clear out regions and construct Great Walls.

Zhao Fu went to the Refining Pavilion. This time, he had obtained four Nation Armaments and three Sect Armaments from the factions that had attacked the Night Dynasty.

Through this operation, Zhao Fu realized a mistake he had been making, which was trying to make only himself as strong as possible. He had kept all of the Nation Armaments and Sect Armaments for himself, resulting in his own power becoming incredibly terrifying.

Zhao Fu had this thought because every time his life was threatened by top-tier experts, it was not a one-on-one battle but a one-against-many scenario.

However, things were different this time – the seven factions that had Armaments did not attack Zhao Fu together, and they were scattered as they attacked others. If it wasn’t for Great Qin having Zhao Mo, Elise, and people like Bai Qi, Zhao Fu would not have been able to deal with them all by himself.

No matter how strong Zhao Fu was, he was just a single person and could only deal with a single area. If there were attacks from different areas, Zhao Fu could not clone himself and appear on different battlefields.

Zhao Fu felt that this was the biggest weakness of Great Qin, and he should now make up for it. Otherwise, if others capitalized on it, Great Qin would pay a great price.

As such, after thinking about it, Zhao Fu decided to only use Nation Armaments, not Sect Armaments in the future. Nation Armaments and Sect Armaments were fundamentally different things: One was based on nations and the other was based on Sects.

When Great Qin destroyed a nation and absorbed its Fate, people, and territory, they would become one. As such, the Nation Armaments had to be refined, but this was not the case for Sect Armaments.

After all, Sects could exist alongside nations; a nation could have countless Sects, and a Sect could have countless nations. Great Qin was fundamentally a nation, not a Sect.

Zhao Fu decided that in the future, he would give Sect Armaments to others to use while keeping the Nation Armaments for himself in order to increase the number of top-tier forces he had. He wanted to spread out the power.

Sect Armaments also needed Fate to use. Because Great Qin was a nation, it could develop Sects, but they definitely would not be stronger than nations.

However, if Sects were too small, they would not have much Fate either, so their Sect Armaments would also be weak. Sect Armaments needed a large amount of Fate to release greater power, so if Zhao Fu wanted to give Sect Armaments for others to use, he had to make the Sects powerful.

Zhao Fu did not want to invest too much into Sects and dilute Great Qin’s overall Fate. Great Qin should be the priority, and having Sects that were too powerful was a threat as well. As such, Zhao Fu thought of another way to make Sects powerful without reducing Great Qin’s strength.

This was to truly fuse the Sects into Great Qin and make them Great Qin’s Subsidiary Sects. Their Fate would be connected to Great Qin, so the more powerful Great Qin became, the more powerful these Subsidiary Sects would be. The weaker Great Qin became, the weaker these Subsidiary Sects would be.

Actually carrying this out was quite complex. Zhao Fu had to first give Imperial Edicts for these Sects to become Great Qin’s Subsidiary Sects and then have them connect the Fate of the two sides. This meant Great Qin’s Fate entering the Sect and the Sect’s Fate being absorbed by Great Qin.
