I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 119 --Advancement to Grand Duke, Granted Lands to Rule as King
When the very last non-human warrior fell, the long-awaited system notification arrived right on cue.
[Ding! You have completed the quest "Twilight of the Empire"!]
[Ding! You have obtained Gold Coins +2,000,000,000! Contribution Points +2,000,000,000! Merit Points +3,000,000,000! Imperial Morale +600,000! Human Merit +600,000!]
[Obtained "High-tier Divinity Fragment" ×20!
Obtained "Heavenscar Pass (low-grade)" ×20!
Obtained "Ethereal Shard" ×10!
Obtained "Ascension Stone (legendary-grade)" ×5!
Obtained "Key of World (Special Item)"!
Obtained "Phantom Potion (legendary-grade)"!]
Daniel froze for a moment.
The gains from this wave were visibly enormous.
He had now gathered enough High-tier Divinity Fragments.
As long as he reached Level 100, he would be able to fuse a divinity and step into the legendary-grade realm.
The Ascension Stone rewards were equally generous.
These rewards were more than enough to push the strength of the powerhouses under his command to yet another level.
But what surprised him the most was that among the quest rewards, there was actually a legendary-grade potion!
Daniel placed the [Phantom Potion (legendary-grade)], glowing with a violet radiance, into the guild warehouse.
[Ding! You have sold "Phantom Potion (legendary-grade)" to Doom Guild for 1 copper coin, triggering Millionfold Boost!]
[The item sold belongs to the potion category. Please choose: quality boost / quantity boost!]
"Quality boost!"
[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained 1 gold coin! You have obtained "Phantom Breath Elixir (supreme-grade)"!]
He took the brand-new potion out of his inventory.
Unlike before, this potion was completely transparent. Inside the bottle was not liquid, but a slowly swirling mass of silver mist, like a compressed galaxy.
[Phantom Breath Elixir (supreme-grade)]
Effect: After use, you may summon ninety-nine clones. Each clone possesses 90% of the original body’s strength. Their range of activity is 5000 × 5000 meters; once they exceed that range, the clones automatically disappear.
Special: The clones inherit all buffs and talent abilities of the original body, and can use skills independently. The clones may also share vision and perception with one another.
Duration: 30 min
Description: According to legend, an ancient God-King refined this potion from fragments of his own soul. One man alone becomes an army of thousands. Drink it, and you yourself will become a force capable of trampling an entire kingdom!
Daniel drew in a deep breath and tilted his head back, swallowing the silver mist in one gulp.
The instant it slid down his throat, he felt as though his consciousness had been torn into countless fragments—only to re-form again in the very next moment.
Except every fragment had become a complete version of himself.
Swish, swish, swish—
Ninety-nine figures stepped out from behind him, standing shoulder to shoulder at his side.
Every single clone held Stellar Wrath in hand, their eyes gleaming with the same calmness and killing intent as his own.
A faint smile rose on Daniel’s lips.
A hundred of himself!
A hundred versions of himself, each possessing 90% of the same Strength, the exact same talents, and the exact same skills.
And with the blessing of Skill Replication, a single cast would be equivalent to forty or fifty thousand attacks!
And once he mastered forbidden spells, one forbidden spell would be the same as tens of thousands of forbidden spells descending at once.
The mere thought of that scene was enough to make one’s scalp go numb.
Daniel did not hesitate in the slightest and threw back his head to drink the potion.
[Ding! You have consumed "Phantom Potion (legendary-grade)"! Talent "Eternal Ring" has been triggered! The potion’s effect has been converted into a permanent effect!]
"Perfect."
He closed the panel, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.
With the support of Eternal Ring, this utterly unimaginable effect had now been extended into eternity!
He shut off the status panel, joy surging in his heart.
Just then, a world announcement thundered across the entire Stellar world!
[Server-wide Announcement!!!]
[Player "Faustus" of World Zone No. 616 has completed the main version quest "Twilight of the Empire," opening a brand-new Chapter in the history of the Human Empire!]
[Through the fierce struggle of player "Faustus," the invasions of the shadowkin and the non-human races have been completely crushed! As a special reward, player "Faustus" is hereby granted the title of Grand Duke! At the same time, the Gold Coin drop rate in World Zone No. 616 is increased by 10% for 24 hours!!]
The Multiversal World Channel exploded instantly.
"I’m a player from another zone. Is there any way to switch world zones now?"
"Stop dreaming upstairs. I already checked—no such option exists!"
"This is unfair! Why do all the good things never happen to our zones?!"
"No, seriously, are the GMs of this game blind? They’re just letting that cheating mutt do whatever he wants?"
"World Zone No. 616 is a bunch of bitches, riding the cheater bus and enjoying all the benefits!"
"Fuck you! A bunch of sour-grape losers. Idiots like you will never understand the moves of a god!"
"Exactly! A bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well! All you can do is bark helplessly!"
...
Daniel took out a scroll glowing with golden light from his inventory.
[Letter of Appointment to Grand Duke (Rare)] (Human Title)
Restriction: Human race only
Privileges:
Any who are granted the rank of Grand Duke stand above all ministers, yielding only to the Emperor alone. Within the Empire, regardless of civil or military status, noble or common, all who hold office must bow in salute upon meeting a Grand Duke. A Grand Duke possesses supreme-grade legal immunity: no blade may touch him, no chain may bind him. Unless more than thirty percent of the Empire’s citizens jointly call for judgment, none may convict him or strip him of his title. Those granted the title of Grand Duke may establish their own official residence and administrative offices, and may independently appoint military commanders and local officials. All subordinate officials shall be recognized under imperial law. They may also issue decree-quests to all citizens of the Empire, with such quests officially notarized by the Empire; all rewards shall be paid by the Grand Duke personally. Those granted the title of Grand Duke may possess the Empire’s highest-tier territories, the "Royal City" class, with no upper limit on number, no restrictions on borders, and no limit on the population or military forces under their jurisdiction.
Description: The title of Grand Duke—granted land enough to stand as a king. From the day of your investiture onward, you shall be the sovereign of this domain and the eternal backbone of humanity.
Daniel carefully read through the description, then used the appointment letter without hesitation.
[Notice: You have successfully obtained the title "Grand Duke"!]
"Grand Duke..."
A faint smile curled Daniel’s lips.
This title was already the pinnacle of the human empire.
One step higher, and he would be Emperor of the Empire.
But that step could not be crossed through merit alone.
Even so, in practical terms, there was not much difference between a Grand Duke and the Emperor.
Within his own territory, he could appoint officials as he pleased and confer titles upon generals at will. To put it simply, he was not much different from a local emperor.
The only difference was that he had to conquer his own land himself.
As long as his strength was great enough, there was no reason he could not seize more territory than even the Emperor!
...
Immediately afterward, Daniel took out the item he cared about the most from his inventory.
[Key of World (Special Rare)]
Restriction: Usable only in World Zone No. 616
Traits: 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
This item is indestructible and may be used an unlimited number of times. When your iron hoofs shatter a city of another zone, you may personally annex the entire city—and the land beneath it—into the territory of World Zone No. 616.
Description:
Truth exists only as far as your arrows can reach. Justice exists only where your blade extends.
