The Mystic Realm of the Great Luminescent Sea.

A figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the mystic realm.

The marine soldiers guarding on both sides became alert, but their faces turned into awe and reverence upon seeing the newcomer.

“Lord Ji Chen!”

Ji Chen nodded slightly, surveying the surroundings.

It had been several months since his last visit to the Great Luminescent Sea.

The two native hero units of this realm, Sonia and Diago, had already submitted to him, and this place had become the backyard of the Crown of the Ocean.

The ruins where the gate of the mystic realm was located had been utilized and refurbished into a camp and a goods transit station. After a period of investment, the Great Luminescent Sea had begun to thrive. Its products were gathered here from all over and then sent through the portal to the Crown of the Ocean.

Sonia’s figure appeared at the entrance of the ruins. The legendary hero gracefully swam in the water.

“Lord Ji Chen, greetings.”

“Sonia, the development of the Great Luminescent Sea seems promising.”

“Thanks to your trust and support.” Sonia stood before him, bowing respectfully. “If it weren’t for you unifying and bringing peace to this ocean, the Great Luminescent Sea wouldn’t have flourished like this.”

Ji Chen smiled and didn’t dwell on it, saying slowly, “I want to know about the recent exploration of the Abyssal Layers of Darkness.”

“Of course, my lord. Please follow me.”

Ji Chen followed Sonia to a coral building on the right side of the camp, which seemed to be her usual residence. A clamshell bed, a coral table, and a few stone stools constituted all the furniture here. Compared to Sonia’s luxurious residence in the Coral Palace, this place was undoubtedly very simple.

Seeing him looking around, Sonia said somewhat embarrassedly, “My lord, in order to monitor the goods input and output, I have been living here. Please forgive the simplicity of this place.” Ji Chen waved his hand indifferently, sitting on one of the stone stools, saying, “No worries. When I first established the territory, the houses I lived in were much simpler than here.”

When he first arrived in this world, the entire territory was only about 50 meters long and wide, with only a few simple houses. The Lord’s Manor was just a slightly larger dilapidated wooden house, fearing leaks during the next heavy rain.

How could it compare to the towering Lord’s Castle and the continuous buildings now?

Transforming a dilapidated territory into such a prosperous town, whenever he recalled those difficult times, Ji Chen always felt a sense of pride.

Sonia quickly began to recount the exploration of the Abyssal Layers of Darkness.

Twenty exploration teams had been dispatched to the Abyssal Layers of Darkness, and they had achieved considerable results. They found three ruins storing a large number of resources, an ancient military camp, totaling three million units of rare resources, and ten blank recruitment camps.

In addition, six rare resource veins were discovered – two each of crystals, mithril, and adamantite, all of which were large veins, producing 42,000 units per week each, totaling 252,000 units of rare resources.

With approximately 250,000 units per week, it amounted to 1 million units a month, and this was a relatively stable income, akin to rent.

But what surprised Ji Chen the most was that the exploration teams had also found a giant crystal vein. Although half of it had been mined, the remaining crystal deposits were still a significant wealth.

The remaining half of the deposit was approximately 2.44 million units, producing 250,000 units of crystal per week.

Now Ji Chen finally experienced the joy of those players who owned large resource points on the mainland. The resources owned by the Crown of the Ocean were not many. It wasn’t until the discovery of the underground lizardmen world that they had stable channels for producing basic resources such as stone and ore.

However, high-level resource points like crystals were always scarce, totaling only about a dozen, and they were all small and medium-sized. This became the driving force for him to constantly explore and seek resources.

—If you don’t go out, you’ll starve to death!

Coupled with the acquisition of 3 million rare resources, the Crown of the Ocean now had a reserve of 7.1 million units of rare resources. It was estimated that in the future, they would steadily receive tens of millions of units of rare resources and hundreds of thousands of units of crystals. This figure would also increase as the exploration deepened.

Of course, behind these gains, there were also damages.

The marine monsters that survived in the Abyssal Layers of Darkness evolved cruel and bloody ways of fighting. Even though they lacked intelligence, they relied on primitive instincts and evolved powerful bodies to kill many marine creatures exploring the Great Luminescent Sea, resulting in thousands of deaths.

But the rich harvest overshadowed these bloodshed and deaths.

Ji Chen then asked, “How has the Starshine Islands been recovering during this time?”

“It has already recovered to the prosperity level before the Sea Beast Tide. It will soon be able to contribute to the Crown of the Ocean.”

It had been a considerable amount of time since the Sea Beast Tide ravaged the Starshine Islands. The damage was severe, so he used a large amount of gold coins obtained there as recovery funds, even hiring players to help repair facilities and clean up sea beasts. After these few months, it had evidently recovered.

Sonia continued, “When you returned to the Crown of the Ocean earlier, I had already informed Xhakas and the others to enter a state of readiness, accelerate the production of escort ships equipped with cannons, large alchemical cannons, ammunition, and output goods to exchange for resources to support the Crown of the Ocean.”
