The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 218 - 131 Witch Expedition Army

On the outskirts of White Poplar City, at the Cyber Immortal Sect

"Haha, this massive construction project for the territory has finally been completed!

The Cyber Immortal Sect, what a good name.

Now my territory can be considered to have stepped into the 4th Rank Gold level. Just a promotion away from the 5th Rank, truly worthy of an exclusive blueprint!

Who would have thought, a sacrificial technique rumored to have spread from the Ocean Lord in a past life would be so useful!

Merely by sacrificing my experiences to [Eternal], one can receive rewards, a huge exclusive blueprint for starters, this god must be related to the Lord game too; but I must say, so generous indeed!

Praise [Eternal]!"

Jun Lin earnestly offered prayers of gratitude to the stone god statue still placed in a corner of his room, which he hadn’t moved.

But it was just a statue he had carved by hand; how could it respond to his thanks?

However, this did not affect his heartfelt devotion, after all, even before coming to this world, people worshipped the Wealth Buddha for inner comfort, and this statue indeed brought him benefits!

If someone were to face a generous commoner, he would express sincere gratitude, all the more so for a powerful and real deity?

Had such a deity, who genuinely granted strength, existed before coming to this world, it would probably have gathered a sizable and devoted following...

"However, it was the sacrifice of my experiences related to Fan Mao that ultimately led to this level of reward; it seems [Eternal] prefers the experiences of the strong.

Hey, that Fan Mao has already reached the 5th Rank...

Who would have thought Fan Mao would advance so much in this life? It’s unknown how Fan Mao completed the promotion requirements.

Is there a way to bypass the judgment, or does Fan Mao have a method of using plants?"

Jun Lin recalled the last meeting, where Fan Mao manifested consciousness through Tree-men, obviously meaning Fan Mao now possessed the means to create such units.

And intelligent plants are also eligible for judgment by the 5th Rank promotion’s Admirers!

Reliant on White Poplar Mountain, it’s impossible for Fan Mao to lack plants, so amassing ten thousand intelligent plants seemed only a matter of time.

Unlike him, after advancing to the 4th Rank, when facing the demand for a count of one hundred thousand for the 5th Rank, he could only opt to target the Fearful as his promotional goal.

But he hasn’t fallen too far behind.

After completing the territory upgrade, his Lord Talent promotion requirements have been fulfilled!

Once the Lord Talent is upgraded, my Fire Ability will also be correspondingly enhanced!

This is a bug unique to me!

Because of my "rebirth", I not only retained the Fire Ability from my past life but also gained a craftsman’s Talent!

And both these are categorized as part of the Lord Talent on the board.

Thus, I only need to complete one promotion task for the superpower or Lord Talent. During promotion, both Talents will advance simultaneously!

"After the Lord Talent is upgraded, coupled with the fact that I’ve already reached the strength of a 5th Rank Cultivator, I will have combat power close to that of a 6th Rank.

Although I can’t challenge the 6th Rank Beast King upfront, I have the capability to confront the 5th Rank head-on, at least my combat power has caught up with my past self.

With the 5th Rank craftsman Talent, I can start mass-producing 5th Rank weapons and even the Spiritual Artifacts and Magic Treasures of the Immortal Cultivation World!

With these weapons, after upgrading my exclusive Barracks, even if my territory has not reached the 5th Rank, my subordinates, the Cultivators, can barely attain 5th Rank combat power, not too far behind..."

These days, he had successfully transformed all the units in his territory into special profession Cultivators, each beneath the 4th Rank platform, also possessing Golden Core Stage, equivalent to the 4th Rank Cultivation.

Coupled with the advanced equipment he crafted with his Lord Talent, their combat power is at the peak of the 4th Rank!

This has been verified in this Cycle Challenge’s instance, relying on the powerful Spiritual Artifacts he replicated and the diverse Spells of the Cultivators, under Su Su’s leadership, they were simply invincible within the instance.

In cooperation with that world’s nation, trading for the Immortal Cultivation Techniques that grant Longevity, they completely suppressed all other Lords.

And after the instance ends, they will obtain most of that world’s technology tree!

That world just began its third technological revolution, starting to research electronic information technology.

Although it’s impossible to trade for the complete technology, at least I can obtain the comprehensive previous technology, filling the industrial base of the territory, completing the final piece of the puzzle for mass-producing advanced equipment!

"Moreover, according to information from my past life, after reaching the 5th Rank, one can no longer level up with the board’s Experience Points, and growth speed starts to slow.

However, after this Cycle Challenge, I know of a few underappreciated rewards that were later found to be of great use, including even dungeon tickets which can take you to specific instances using an anchor item!

I just happen to know of an instance from my past life that can quickly get me the Fearful needed for promotion; after this Cycle Challenge, I can venture in and swiftly complete the Fearful requirement using the instance.

There is also a solution for the territory’s requirements among this Cycle Challenge’s rewards.

For me, the 5th Rank is not unattainable!"

In his past life, he was merely a 4th Rank Lord, but now, relying on his efforts, he’s brought that time forward by a full two months!

Even the targets that once seemed unreachable now feel within grasp.

This feeling of catching up to goals he previously could only look up to exhilarated Jun Lin.

But soon, he calmed down again.

"It’s a pity that after reaching the 4th Rank, the memories from my past life can no longer bring about key help; and due to disturbances, the memories can only serve as reference..."

Jun Lin muttered to himself, lost in thought, before suddenly straightening up as if he remembered something.

"No matter what, I was a Rank 5 Lord before I died in my previous life. It’s just returning to Rank 5, what’s there to be excited about!

Only after advancing to Rank 5 does the real game begin! Only then can one qualify for the regional battles!

In this life, I’ve obtained Rank 5 combat power ahead of time, and I absolutely won’t become a sacrificial pawn in the regional battles again.

Ha, if it were not for those Lords stirring up trouble with their Lord Talents last life, causing us to doubt and even fight amongst ourselves, how could our White Poplar City’s Lords have suffered heavy losses and ultimately fall to the point of being harvested!

It’s a pity that I realized this too late in that life. Even though Fan Mao spared us, I wasn’t clear if the others who stole from us had Fan Mao avenge us...

No, to be safe, I still need to build a better relationship with Fan Mao.

After all, Fan Mao was the only Lord in my previous life who remained unaffected and was the most powerful. Having Fan Mao’s support would at least serve as the last insurance in critical future moments...

This evening, I’ll advance my Lord Talent, and after waking up tomorrow, I’ll go to the private messages to find Fan Mao!"

With his mind made up, Jun Lin immersed himself in advancing his Lord Talent.

Meanwhile, not far from the room, the statue carved from pure white stone and dressed in an elegant robe dimmed once more. The lively expression on its face disappeared, reverting to a lifeless sculpture as if it never moved.

Area 21, Unknown Waters

"Why did the divination result in them having to find ways to hide?

Everything had been going so smoothly, already occupying five ports without encountering much effective resistance.

But since it was a divination result, there had been cases where everything was smooth yet warnings from divinations proved true...

Could it be that there is a trap behind this smooth sailing?

But no matter what, today the message has already been sent, there’s no turning back now.

With the Eternal blessing from the Brave Ship, as long as the sacrificial ritual is activated to enter the Static Space, there will be nothing that can affect them.

Moreover, the harvest this time has already been plenty, the large fleet might as well hide and digest the gains.

After all, even if the rewards from the instance aren’t great, as long as they return safely, there’s nothing to worry about!"

Yun Dao took her gaze away from the panel showing the battle report and breathed a sigh of relief, casually using magic to grab the dinner plate from the Captain’s desk.

She had been busy all day and hadn’t had the chance to eat dinner yet, though it was fortunate that her current body didn’t require much food.

It must be said, although transforming into this form she called a witch was very uncomfortable for the first couple of days.

But now it seemed that the body of a witch was indeed powerful!

Great magical abilities, plus a robust physique, and the miraculous Spiritual Connection.

It even allowed them to hunt down other captains when the ships were damaged and short of personnel!

It had only been two days when, on the second day of the Cycle Challenge, she encountered another fleet. Seeing the number of ships the other party had, she figured it was a Lord who had just advanced to Rank 4.

Thinking that her three damaged ships were easy prey, he tried to swallow them up.

But unexpectedly, not only did he fail to defeat them after a battle, but they also managed to assimilate and consume him instead.

Not only did they not suffer significant losses, but they also quickly returned to their peak before the battle with the Insect Swarm!

Since then, she became unstoppable, waging wars everywhere within the instance as the Five Sea Dominator, out of the instance she also became a hunter, hunting everywhere.

Now, her fleet had expanded to a formidable twenty-eight large ships, with countless smaller ones, making her the undisputed number one in Area 21.

She also became the nightmare of all the Lords in Area 21.

Even the name of her fleet (and territory) was changed by the game to the "Witch Expedition Army," a name she was very pleased with.

The Spell Hand she used just now was one of the fleet’s gains.

That captain had acquired a wealth of magical knowledge and a method of class change from an instance which turned out to be her gain, letting the witches’ Magic Talent be put to good use.

At this moment, aside from her fleet’s rating still at Rank 4 Gold due to not having broken through, both Comprehensive Combat Power and Personal Combat Power have already surpassed Rank 5!

This was the reason she could be indifferent to the rewards of the instance!

Had it not been for the recent hunts making the captains in Area 21 panic, increasing the difficulty of finding prey.

And even attracting attention from the local native fleets, preventing her from daring to split her forces to hunt.

"I have to find a chance to take down that native fleet!

Just a few Rank 5 Superpower Users, how many Joint Witch Spells could they possibly withstand!

Eh? The coordinates of the fleet have been found? Turn the ship’s head, set sail!"

...........

Witch Expedition Army: One of the most warlike armies under the Witch Clan, the fleet of the Expedition Army never rests, always patrolling and hunting for the ambition of the Primordial Witch. Legend has it, the Expedition Army is the only one among the Primordial Witch’s forces to be made up entirely of pureblooded witches...

[Note: The 15th Expeditionary Group hereby declares that any disrespectful actions towards Her Highness Primordial Witch will be met with our pursuit of accountability]

[Note to the Note: Upon investigation, the above statement was made by one of our interns, who has since been dismissed. We would like to reiterate our eternal allegiance to Her Highness Primordial Witch! Please don’t come after us!]
