Villain Cultivator-Chapter 668 Kingdom Building

Chapter 668 – Kingdom Building

A hundred deities and an unrestrained sage came out of the portal, taking the first step to the medium continent realm.

The unrestrained sage was one of the six disciples of Hongjun. He came out along with 100 representatives of Heavenly Dao Universe's faction to scout and secure the medium realm.

Jieyin's eyes swiftly shifted from left to right, scanning through the continent with his wide vision and superior sense of an unrestrained sage.

As they had seen from the satellite map of Pangu, the continent was in a square shape with three massive portals at the three corners. However, one of the corners was unoccupied.

The unoccupied corner was located between Heavenly Dao Faction's portal and the Chaos Realm Faction's portal. Meanwhile, the Player Faction was on the opposite side, which was furthest away from the strategic corner.

Jieyin smirked. He turned away from the corner and pointed at the portal of the players.

"We'll finish the player off in one swoop! Kill as many players as you can, and we'll win this game!"

The followers of Jieyin looked trouble.

Among the representatives, the Jian Clan's patriarch, Jian Xian, cupped his fist and suggested.

"The number of players overwhelms ours. We might not be able to kill all 100,000 players. Furthermore, oppressing them early on may consequence in a dire situation. They might begin killing each other to give birth to a Great Dao Sage, and we won't be their opponent."

"That's why we need to reduce their number ASAP. If they have the Sacrificial Altar, those 100,000 players can turn into 100 Great Dao Sage, and we won't have a chance against them. The more player we kill, the less Great Dao Sage we need to fight in the future! Also, killing players grants us Dao Stones and PACTs. We will use those resources to build more advanced structures and overwhelm Chaos Realm Faction!" Jieyin scoffed.

"… I see. Is this why Lord Hongjun decided to attack our ally?"

"Pfft. If we go with the alliance farce, what are we going to do after we kill off all Chaos Realm Faction's goons? After we dealt with Mu-Nyang's cronies, we will have to face the players next. And by that time, they would have already had more than 50 Great Dao Sages because of the prisoners and their unique EXP system. We will end up becoming stepping stones for those players."

Jian Xian nodded. As Jieyin had said – The Player Faction was too strong, so they needed to weaken them first before they could fight against Mu-Nyang's representatives.

"Let's go. We'll get rid of them."

…

Chaos Realm Faction's Homeworld

Chaos Demon Gods and Cathulhus read at the detail of each building on the metal stones. They calculated the pros and cons for a while, but they finally agreed to let Miaomiao build the refinery and other buildings first. However, they wanted him to build the sacrificial altar in 10 days, which was one day earlier than what they had planned.

"Alright. 10 days, it is," Miaomiao compromised their meeting.

"Good. Then, do you mind if we move freely?" The chaos demon god still didn't like the idea of working under a weak junior.

"I have no power to stop you. However, if you can capture players or cultivators from Heavenly Dao Faction, we will be grateful."

"Of course. I still want to advance to the great dao sage! We'll bring at least a thousand players for sacrifices!"

"…"

The chaos demon god led his team, which was a party of five unrestrained sages and 50 sages, to the portal. They went out on their own to scout ahead.

Looking at them, Miaomiao had the urge to suggest that they should sacrifice 50 sages to make the five unrestrained sages into five Great Dao Sages.

Unfortunately, Miaomiao couldn't build the altar at the moment. Otherwise, this game might be over right here.

Miaomiao sighed and looked at the others next.

Venti, Ma Moxi, and his dragonewts remained behind to help Miaomiao. Adam, Fu Daotian, Fuxi, and Nuwa gathered their men and picked a place to be their main camp. As for the Cathulhus, they transformed into small cats and took a nap.

"Haiz."

Miaomiao dryly laughed. He stopped worrying about the strangers and focused on constructing some system buildings.

First, he converted all 100,000 PACTs into 1,000 Dao Stones. Then, he gazed at his remaining asset.

2,010 Dao Stone sat in the system.

The Kingdom Building System showed a blank green map with small dots of Miaomiao and others. In the right corner, a list of available building icons is lined up nicely like the interface of the Red Alert Series.

Miaomiao pressed on the Pylon Tower Icon. Then, a transparent building appeared on the interface, previewing where the building would be placed.

He measured the map. Then, he placed the first pylon tower at the furthest northwest of the continent, 10 kilometers away from the edge of the flat world.

Yes, this place was not a spherical star. It was a flat world, aka a large flying continental plane.

As soon as Miaomiao pressed the confirm button, the majestic tower was erected and the loud boom attracted everybody's attention.

As most people here were deities and sages, they could see everything from afar, and they spotted the newly built tower right away. But a few seconds later, Venti, Adam, Cathulhus, and others noticed the strangeness of Miaomiao's decision.

Why did he have to build it so far away from the portal?

Lilith, Wei Yuan, Adam, Joshua, Metatron, and colleagues of Miaomiao flew toward the tower to see what he was doing.

But as they were about to question Miaomiao's logic, Mu-Nyang's voice entered their mind.

'The first day's Dao Stone income has been distributed to all factions, munya! Also, Pangu and I have spawned airdrops on the medium world. Each airdrop crate contains artifacts, PACTs, Dao Stones, and exception resources for combatants and Kings, munya. Be sure to grab them when you can, munya!'

Hearing the confirmation from Mu-Nyang, Miaomiao turned around and bellowed, targeting the lazy Cathulhus that had been sleeping and taking a sunbath.

"I have been growing Catnip Crystals in my dantian universe! If anyone can bring me Dao Stones and PACTs, I will reward them one Catnip Crystal per Dao Stone or 100 PACT!"

As soon as Miaomiao mentioned catnip, all eyes of Cathulhus became round, and their pupils expanded. They stared at Miaomiao.

"Really, munya?!"

Miaomiao hovered in front of the pylon tower. He commanded his consciousness inside his dantian universe and fetched a massive chunk of green crystal. Then, he opened a portal to his dantian realm, throwing the crystal out.

BOOM

The 100-meter diameter crystal dropped from the sky, emitting a pleasant medical scent.

Meowmeow and Nya-Nya's pupils expanded to the point that they covered all their sclera. They purred and rolled on the ground, getting high because of the smell.

The Cathulhus drooled. Some of them walked toward the crystal, having the urge to lick and bite it.

But Miaomiao reminded them.

"This is the biggest chunk that I have. I'll give this to the first person that brings me the airdrop crate that Mu-Nyang mentioned earlier!"

"!!!"

As soon as Miaomiao had finished his sentence, all Cathulhus kicked the ground and transformed into their true majestic cat-head with long tentacles. They jetted toward the portal to the Medium Realm right away.

Miaomiao gazed at the departing Cathulhus. He sighed.

"I forgot to mention. Please be safe."

Lilith laughed, "Too late. I think they might have started a battle without your consent."

"If they do, that's good. I'm confident in their abilities, especially since they are Mu-Nyang's descendants."

Miaomiao turned toward the pylon tower. Then, he checked the remaining balance.

2,510 Dao Stones.

He had enough to build a radar, but he lacked 490 stones to build the first refinery.

Even so, Miaomiao picked a place 100 meters southeast of the tower and build the radar tower.

RUMBLE

The radar tower appeared from nothingness, and the round formation of the city wall shot up from the ground.

Everything behind the walls changed color - Green gas emitted from several holes in the ground. Small hills elevated a few parts of the ground and several caves in tall hills leaked out green smoke. Blue Crystal Mountains emerged and lined in groups as if they had been growing there for millions of years.

Miaomiao counted the number of strategic resources.

15 groups of Blue Crystals and seven areas with green gas were found within their domain.

Miaomiao clicked his tongue. If they only have seven potential Divine Qi Refineries in their domain, their daily income would be capped at 15,000 Dao Stones, including the daily income from Pangu and Mu-Nyang.

The crowd was interested in the gas and the crystals. They got closer to them, inspecting the new toy.

Devil also sneaked into one of the caves. She secretly absorbed a wisp of gas to examine its characteristics and traits.

"!!!"

And Devil discovered a pleasant surprise. Divine Qi gas was as precious as Connate Qi, and she could cultivate them!

The others also found out. They began shouting, telling their friends to cultivate the green Divine Qi to boost the number of their Connate Qi in their dantian.

Meanwhile, Wei Yuan and the girls couldn't cultivate Connate Qi yet. They inspected the crystals.

When they got closer, they sensed various types of Providence Qi inside the crystals!

Zhao Yun reacted first. She swung her spear and cut a small piece that was enough for her hand to carry. Then, she sat cross-legged and absorbed the energy from the crystal in her hand.

The others copied Zhao Yun. They took a small portion of crystals and used them like an essence core or a refined spirit stone.

Just like that, all representatives and sentinels turned into cultivation maniacs. They tried to absorb as much energy as they could.

Miaomiao observed them and laughed.

"Only when facing the pressure, we can use our best potential. That suits them."

Miaomiao descended to the ground and visited the radar tower.

Although it was called a tower, its width and length were not smaller than a supermarket or a shopping mall. Inside the building looked the same as any skyscraper building with partitioned rooms for rent.

Currently, the lobby was empty, but several elevators were functioning.

Miaomiao didn't use the elevator. He flew and hopped on each floor's balconies, checking the interior of the tower as if he was exploring a maze for a treasure chest.

Each room was large enough to be used as a store. But for now, Miaomiao didn't need them.

As Miaomiao explored the tower, he got bored. Every floor and room looked the same.

He gave up inspecting the tower's interior. He got in the elevator and pressed the top floor button.

The glass elevator brought him to the top floor.

Ding

The elevator opened, showing Miaomiao a lobby area in front of a sealed room.

Miaomiao approached the room, and the sealed metal doors automatically opened.

Inside the room, a hundred monitors showed the real-time camera footage of everybody within the city walls. This place was like a security office, where the staff could see everybody's actions through CCTV cameras.

But the 100 monitors were not the only feature of this place. On the left side of the control room, the large monitor showed the status of Miaomiao's Dao Stone asset and the top-down map of their homeworld headquarters. It also showed the log of what Miaomiao had built or spent the Dao Stones.

To the right, another large monitor and a separated console were there. Instead of showing Miaomiao's Dao Stones like the other monitor, the monitor highlighted an icon with a number (1). Red words told Miaomiao what this console could do.

[You have one unused beacon. Please place a beacon outside your city to scan for natural resources.]

Under the number (1) was a timer, which ticked down every second. It currently showed as 34:47 or 34 minutes and 47 seconds, but it counted down in real-time.

Miaomiao sat on the chair in front of the console. He looked at the sci-fi keyboard, which had icons on them.

As Miaomiao didn't know what this console could do, he only used the arrow buttons to navigate the monitor and check its usage. He soon moved the cursor by using the old-fashioned arrow buttons to hover over the countdown timer.

The system was nice enough to show the hidden detail of the clock.

[When the countdown timer reaches zero, you will get another beacon to use. Every hour, every force can generate one beacon for free.]

"Oh. How nice."
