Sailing is an art; if one merely relies on courage to explore unknown territories, there is no outcome other than death.

Six warships.

Three supply ships.

In addition, a hundred Nagas followed around the warships. Chen Feng would not embark on an uncertain task, cautious on land as well as at sea.

"Whew..."

A sea breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness to Chen Feng’s face.

"Mighty Dragon, let’s fly!"

A Giant Dragon was circling overhead, with a little girl cheering loudly on its back. The Inferior Demon felt no sadness. Unlike the Half-Elf and goblin, who feel at home wherever there’s land, for the Inferior Demon, home is wherever Chen Feng is.

The Inferior Demon felt no loss; in fact, perhaps finally being able to see the outside world made her smile even brighter.

Long journey.

Chen Feng gazed at the endless horizon. From the moment he boarded the ship, he said goodbye to his past.

Unfamiliar seas.

Unknown enemies.

The memories in Chen Feng’s mind would no longer matter; everything needed to be faced anew.

If it were the original Chen Feng stepping into these seas, he might feel bewildered, but now, his heart harbors little negativity.

His powers have transformed, ruling over thousands of nautical miles of territory; Chen Feng gained dominance here.

Six warships.

Besides regular warriors, there are over two hundred professionals, a formidable force. In some major cities, the number of professionals awakened may peak at this number or even less.

The energy in the air is changing. As more people stumble upon circumstances to become professionals, growth requires a process. You can’t expect a newly awakened professional to immediately become a qualified warrior!

But professionals within Order are different.

They have seen war and slaughter, whether against insect tides or corpse waves, they have fought bloodily, changing many people. Before the apocalypse, there were homebodies, students, even the weak-bodied among them; yet in this disaster, they gained unimaginable power.

They no longer acted timidly; on the contrary, they have grown into true warriors in battle.

...............

Xu Hongzhuang stood on the ground, staring absentmindedly out the window.

By her calculations, he had already left.

It is difficult for Xu Hongzhuang to evaluate Chen Feng’s character. When viewed as an enemy, Chen Feng was sinister and ruthless, swiftly uprooting his foes; during this clearing operation, the old forces of Bridge East were wiped out completely, a root-and-branch extermination, any participants were captured and downgraded to slaves.

Heavy punishment in chaotic times.

Their freedom was stripped away; they wouldn’t even own their houses, leaving only one purpose in life: atonement.

In just a few days, not only ordinary people but 16 participating professionals were executed, the significance being that from the moment the blade is brandished, this city, this power holds only one surname: Chen!

Chen Feng is undoubtedly ruthless, yet he has a merciful side.

Look at the bustling crowds outside.

Though some still pause to chat, it remains mere idle talk. Their hurried steps reveal no idlers on the streets.

The people seem unable to finish their work; men and women, young and old, struggling from despair due to food shortages in the city until now, just like new blood has been injected, the face of the city has completely changed.

The houses in Bridge East are already rebuilt.

As the only city inland, half a year ago, Chen Feng ordered goblins and human workforces to overhaul Bridge East.

Imminent danger due to earthquakes resulted in tearing down or repairing streets, leaving no visible sign of disrepair.

Young are cared for, the old rely on him.

It is this man, seen as a Demon, who brought prosperity and tranquility to this land.

No longer do people suffer cannibalism; due to Du Men’s research, more and more food is grown. People only need to fulfill basic work to receive extra food, and even exchange food for Exchange Coins to purchase some living supplies.

Chen Feng fulfilled Xu Hongzhuang’s dream, letting surrounding survivors live safely, even though life isn’t as convenient as peaceful times, lack of electricity prevents use of many devices. Most work relies on manual labor.

Yet few object; having endured despair, they cherish this peace.

Xu Hongzhuang knows she should make a true decision.

Pressing a call button nearby, soon a tall and straight warrior entered the room and inquired, "Sir, what are your commands?"

"Draft a document. I’ve arranged a place for Feng Zhiyong on Death Island. He departs tomorrow. From now on, he must not set foot in Bridge East again."

Xu Hongzhuang’s gaze was resolute.

As the former ruler of this city, even if Feng Zhiyong has long withdrawn from politics, some won’t behave as long as he remains here.

Ordinary people are somewhat alright, but professionals enjoyed their unrestrained lives, acting freely with their power in the initial Bridge East.

Power, wealth, and women were easy to obtain.

But with Chen Feng’s arrival, everything changed; Order’s rules are unbreakable, even a powerful Silver Tier must use communication to win a woman’s favor.

As for coercion?

The corpses of those who made mistakes still hang on the city walls, a reminder to those driven by lust.

To prevent further bloodshed, Xu Hongzhuang ordered her mentor sent directly to Death Island, which compared to inland, houses goblins, Half-Elves, and Dimensional Natives.

Half-Elves and goblins have become Chen Feng’s loyal followers. If anyone remains unruly, spreading rumors even without intervention by the Dark Department, monsters will kill them, crushing their bones to dust.

Some view Xu Hongzhuang as Chen Feng’s lackey, even striking against her former superior, but for Xu Hongzhuang, current order is the best.

Anyone attempting to destroy this peace will oppose her.

This matter resolved, Xu Hongzhuang dispersed excess thoughts, then spread her hand, where a radiant long knife appeared.

Xu Hongzhuang possesses a Hero template, compared to typical professionals, with remarkable Talent.

Not long ago, instability hindered advancement, but now that all matters are resolved, Xu Hongzhuang finds her mind suddenly lighter, clearing inner distractions.

Next...

Time to unleash her full effort to ascend to Golden Tier!
