Chapter 564: Chapter 564: The Expanding Grassroots Team

"I’ve returned, finally returned." Fang Jie sighed with relief as he gazed at the familiar sights.

Stepping out of the temple, Fang Jie looked towards the familiar Territory. "There’s no place like home," Fang Jie remarked calmly; the news of his return had been promptly announced by the guards at the door.

It didn’t take long for two little foxes to be the first to run to his side.

Lu Qi’er, with tears glistening in her eyes, threw herself into Fang Jie’s arms.

Fang Jie had been gone for too long this time, the first time he had ever left for such an extended period without any news.

"There, there, I’m back now, am I not? There was no danger this time, and the benefits were quite substantial." Indeed, they were substantial; he had now reached the middle phase of the Gold Level.

Unfortunately, once he returned to All Heavens Hunting Ground, the absorption of World Origin within his body wasn’t as rapid as before. Perhaps it was due to the differences in the World Laws, which may have caused a reduction in compatibility.

Even so, Fang Jie was confident that he could absorb this power completely within a month or so.

By that time, he would reach the Peak among Peaks and then try to break through.

His cultivation was of the highest caliber—the Black Lotus Meditation Technique—and under the effect of the Black Lotus Meditation Technique, his absorption was already quite fast. The materials left behind by the Werewolves indicated that other people’s absorption rates were not as swift as his.

Even those at the Legendary Level did not absorb as quickly as he did at the Gold Level.

What a pity that he was only at the Gold Level, which meant he had absorbed too little World Origin. Afraid that after his breakthrough, there wouldn’t be much World Origin left.

To continue to improve, he would need to make further breakthroughs.

"This time, though, I won’t have to wait that long."

Fang Jie thought to himself because his Territory had now been upgraded to a level 10 city. To advance further, he would need to reach the Legendary Level, and he would also need to have ten subordinates at the Legendary Level.

The second requirement had been met a while ago; now, only he himself remained.

But what lay beyond the city level, Fang Jie did not know, as there were no records.

At least in the surrounding areas, even further afield, no one had ever reached this level, nor had anyone seen or heard of it. Had Fang Jie not elevated himself to this level, he wouldn’t have known of its existence.

"Fang Jie, you’re finally back," called Qin Lan from a distance as she ran over.

Yet upon seeing Fang Jie unharmed, Qin Lan suppressed the excitement in her heart and slowly came to a stop.

After all, as the Prime Minister, she needed to maintain a certain image in front of her subordinates. Fang Jie didn’t care about such formalities and went forward, embracing Qin Lan in his arms.

"Stop that; there are others here."

"Who dares to say anything? Am I not allowed to hold my own wife?" The surrounding people all lowered their heads as if they saw nothing.

Fang Jie didn’t pay them any mind, lifting Qin Lan in his arms and heading towards the Lord Mansion. Qin Lan’s face was flushed, and she covered it as if that would make her unrecognizable.

The joys of reunion were like a new marriage, and after a whole day of commotion, by the next afternoon, Qin Lan and the others were so hungry that they could no longer bear it, which finally compelled Fang Jie to get up. Thinking back, what kind of days had he been living before?

While eating, Qin Lan began to report some of the affairs of the Territory during this time.

Whether it was being a hands-off manager or trusting his subordinates, there were still some things that Fang Jie must understand.

"Now the base-level population has exploded wildly? That’s not right; there’s no war now. What jobs can you give to so many people?" Fang Jie found it strange.

In the month of his absence, a vast number of people had joined the army or become adventurers.

This had led to a continual enhancement of Fang Jie’s base-level strength. Although it couldn’t compare to the overall Combat Power of his Undead System, it was still much stronger than before.

If the Legendary Level Combat Power was not counted, the combat strength of his native army had at least tripled.

And it seemed more people were joining; one could only imagine how many strong individuals had previously been hidden.

"They are still useful. First, once these people join our organization, they are unlikely to cause any trouble. At least, large-scale disturbances are impossible. Now, the number of rebels has been decreasing."

Those people weren’t fools; they rebelled previously because they didn’t know Fang Jie’s strength.

But since learning of the existence of Demigods, they had come to a realization. They were left alive not because of their strength but because they served some other purpose, and they didn’t want to be eliminated one day for becoming useless.

Even now, life was becoming increasingly difficult, so they were all thinking of how to surrender and seek amnesty.

There were indeed some fools, but such individuals were either already eliminated or were the few remaining ones left for military training. They couldn’t cause any trouble, lacking the ability to do so.

Instead, a large number of people joined the native army or various Guilds.

"Alright, even if the unrest is less, what can they do on their own? If there’s not enough work for them, they’ll be forced to cause trouble again."

Fang Jie didn’t want to face off against two empires now, as his strength was far from being their match.

Before his strength exceeded theirs by a large margin, Fang Jie didn’t want to make a move, as he didn’t want to suffer huge losses in a single battle.

"Of course there is work, and there’s quite a lot of it. The territory we occupy is vast and sparsely populated. Many areas are suitable for exploration and development. How much do you underestimate your own Territory?"

Fang Jie simply spread his hands; it wasn’t that he undervalued it, he merely lacked the time.

"Alright, most of them are now on the sea. The sea is being deeply developed, especially underwater exploration, which is a hot project. Anything that comes up from the depths of the sea can fetch a good price."

Who would have thought there would be so much demand for the sea’s offerings? The sea harbored many dangers, and even the strong weren’t guaranteed safety. Adventuring in this place was indeed an excellent approach.

Moreover, numerous islands divide the sea into relatively safe regions, as well as even more dangerous ones.

With well-thought-out plans and a step-by-step approach, the planning seemed rather perfect.

"If that’s the case, it’s not bad at all; giving them something to do is good. It’s certainly better than a rebellion." Having learned about these things and assured that no trouble could arise, Fang Jie lost interest.

After all, with the Cabinet and Parliament watching, should any problems arise, he would simply find those Managers. This was the best way to establish power.
