Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 667 National Title: The First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets!

One is all, and all is one. Every Byron distributed around the world is the original body, and there is no difference in strength.

The range of his [divine vision] had long since entered the realm of being measured in hundreds of kilometers.

Even though the Golden Deer was still some distance away from the land, it could see the natural wonders clearly at a glance.

The floating island is indeed a floating island flying in the sky, and it is not an illusion caused by towering mountains and clouds and mist.

Looking around, there are at least thousands of floating islands just along the coast of the mainland, and there are even more islands farther inside the mainland.

The smaller ones of these floating islands are only as big as a human head, and are connected in a string with overgrown vegetation; the larger ones are dozens of square kilometers in size and are larger than mountains.

They float quietly in the sky at varying heights, ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters above the ground.

Byron could also tell from the large floating islands that some of the ground still bore traces of being aligned with the long coastline, proving that they had once been part of the continent.

It flew up for unknown reasons.

Byron once saw pigs flying in the sky in Fairy Tale Town, and golden and silver trees growing out of the ground on Treasure Island.

It was not so strange to see islands flying in the sky. His crew members had traveled all over the world with him and were knowledgeable, so they should not be so surprised.

But you have to know that those wonders in the past all happened in secret realms with special rules, and anything that violates common sense is nothing new.

This time it’s different, this is the material world!

Therefore, there are no rules that violate common sense, and these floating islands themselves are part of the rules of the material world.

“It’s really amazing.

Since it is not a secret realm with special rules, then the reason why these islands can fly is because of some extraordinary materials? Special terrain? Or is it the work of some unknown creatures?
The [Naturalists] in the Tower Sequence would go crazy if they saw this scene.

This alone makes our round-the-world voyage worthwhile.”

Violet was also dazzled, with little stars twinkling in her blue eyes. As she spoke, she raised her hand and hugged Byron's arm.

In addition to the necessary naval soldiers and Deathwing, the sailors on the Golden Deer only brought the commander of the Guards, the honest Eight Fingers, and a fourth-level incarnation of Violet.

A long time ago, Byron once asked her, "Miss, why do you work so hard?"

The girl smiled sweetly and replied, "Because the things I like are very expensive, the places I want to go are very far away, and the person I love is super perfect."

This scene exactly reflects her original intention as a stay-at-home master of the tower sequence, why she wanted to run away from home and go on an adventure at sea with Byron.

Go on a romantic date to the end of the world with the one you love.

There are countless people in the world who have dreamed of traveling around the world with a sword, but later gave up because they were too busy with work.

Just being alive has exhausted all my energy.

Next time for sure, waiting is a lifetime.

Compared with those mortals who live a mediocre life for a few copper coins, they are undoubtedly lucky.

Byron has a pair of wings.

Catherine is his anchor, no matter how long he wanders, he will always have a home; Violet is his sail, even if it is the end of the world, sooner or later he will be able to fight his way in and out.

The couple subconsciously turned their heads to look at each other, and saw the same emotions surging in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Golden Deer, Hawkins, you guys guard the rear, we'll go forward first."

Byron took Violet’s hand and rushed away with a strong wind, leaving the Golden Hind and the Banshee to continue slowly sailing towards the coast.

As they got closer to the floating islands they could see more clearly.

Regardless of size, the surface of each floating island is similar to that of an ordinary island, with some covered with green trees and some with rugged rocks. Some have birds and some have beasts.

Some of them still retain water sources due to the terrain, and white waterfalls cascade down from the edge.

It is magnificent when the sun shines.

The common feature of all the floating islands is that their lower half is covered with vines that look like ivy, and countless densely packed black and red suction cups are almost integrated with the rocks of the floating islands.

Finally, the iron-black roots dropped down to the ground and the sea, forming a huge forest in the sky.

Byron raised his hand and caught a vine out of thin air. He found that there was an invisible force dragging it upward against gravity.
I also want to take Byron flying with me.

It’s just because this single grass stem is too weak to carry him, but if it were a bunch of grass stems, it would definitely be able to easily realize the mortal’s dream of flying.

[Logbook] began to flip pages, and after a while new words appeared:

“Species: Demonic plants, floating trees, and sky-climbing tigers.

The alien plant that mutated from Parthenocissus troglodytes is naturally able to use the special local spiritual environment to resist the gravity generated by celestial bodies.

However, because of this characteristic, they have to cling to heavy rock walls to prevent themselves from being thrown into the sky and losing water, soil and other survival elements.

But as its size continues to grow, the effect of offsetting gravity becomes stronger and stronger, and one day it will cause the rock block to collapse, carrying the rock wall it is clinging to into the sky.

From then on, the growth will stop and the static balance of the floating island will be maintained, with gravity and buoyancy always being equal.

Even if Pan Tianhu eventually died, this balance would be maintained for many years.”

Byron shared the information he had read with Violet. Violet's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but say:

“The world is so big that there are many strange things.

If we combine this plant with our warships, the speed of both the sailing ships of the commerce raiding fleet and the steam battleships of the dreadnought fleet will be greatly increased immediately.

Even though many craftsman groups are currently researching and developing steam-powered airships that are afraid of the airbags rupturing and falling from the sky, they can become a reality in a short period of time.

One hundred percent safety.”

Her Majesty, the [Queen of War] Violet, always talks about her business.

However, Byron immediately noticed a sentence in the logbook: "the special spiritual environment of the local area".

This strange continent before our eyes has only revealed the tip of the iceberg, but its extraordinaryness is already evident everywhere.

Om-!
Byron activated his own divine mission and the unity of all things, and became one with the world.

Although the fourth-level [Navigator] Delia did not come along, Byron had the bonus of [Sky] and [Thunderstorm] priesthood, and his ability to perceive the planet's magnetic field had already exceeded the limit.

Even ordinary pigeons with similar abilities would not get lost during migration, let alone him?

It’s no problem to play the role of a human navigator.

After a brief sense, he determined that the location of the continent in front of him was almost facing the center of the Echidna triangle circulation on the other side of the planet.

That is the "triple point" at the end of the world where the Pillars of Heloxus are anchored. Its corresponding position in the material world is also the largest hole in the waterline of this world ship.

Byron's face was shocked, and he said to himself:

"The tides of source matter outside the material world penetrate the material world through the 'triple point', just like the magnetic field of a planet gushing out from the two poles, with one end receiving and the other end emitting.

Eventually, a strong spiritual environment was formed in the entire world, and another core of opposite nature, 'Spiritual Pole', was shaped in this land located in the center of the Storm Ocean.

It's just that one 'spiritual pole' is a dangerous deep sea, and the other 'spiritual pole' is a vast landmass, which leads to the extraordinary diversity of this continent.

Given the active concentration of this spiritual tide, it is likely that no ordinary human community will be able to survive on this land.

It even simply returned to the wilderness where strength was king, leaving no room for the terrifying upright ape to develop.

Even if there are intelligent creatures, they must at least be sub-human species that are born extraordinary."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he pulled Violet with him to a large floating island of about 20 square kilometers.

The lush floating island has water sources and many marsupials.

But these did not attract their attention, because Byron stepped on a piece of white stone on the ground and crushed it with one foot when he landed, which made the two people stunned for a moment, and then they were instantly overjoyed.

This island is covered with a kind of white stone, which is very brittle and breaks into pieces if stepped on. [Shenjian] explored the underground and found a thick layer of countless stones.

The surrounding floating islands of all sizes are in a similar situation, with no minerals but only this kind of white stone.

Eight Fingers and a group of guards who followed behind using the bat transformation technique also picked up the stones curiously and examined them.

"What is this?"

Bazhi picked it up and smelled it, then immediately threw it on the ground with a frown, just because this thing looked like a stone, but it clearly had a faint residual smell of feces and urine, like bird droppings.

Violet, who was standing next to her, didn't care. She picked up a stone and twisted it with her fingertips, her face becoming even happier.

"These things are of little use to ordinary adventurers, but to a country, their value is no less than the discovery of a huge gold mine."

There is no better chemist in the world than Violet, and her words are authoritative.

The pirate crew could not see the value of these stones, but in the eyes of Byron and Violet, they were an enormous fortune.

It can even be said to be an inexhaustible gold mine.

It's just like those church-states that allowed their cities to turn into cesspools, lying here covered in dust for thousands of years, and no one knows how to use it.

Details emerged from the logbook: "Gunoia is a type of mineral, also known as phosphate ore, which is the feces of birds and animals.

The accumulated droppings and carcasses of birds, bats and other animals interact with the soil and eventually form a high-quality fertilizer.”

This floating island should be located in a place where migratory birds must pass through. In addition, there are few predators on the floating island, so it is very safe.

Over the past thousands of years, who knows how much guano has accumulated. If you dig a little deeper, you will find the raw materials for producing high-quality fertilizer. "Especially for my sister Catherine, a dragon lady who holds the priesthood of [Finance], [Agriculture], and [Harvest], lying on the guano to hibernate is definitely much better than lying in the vault!
I heard that many ladies also use bird droppings to apply on their faces for beauty treatment, which is really killing two birds with one stone.”

Of course, Byron only dared to think about this. If he really dared to play a prank on his sister, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot.

Then, Byron named this floating archipelago covered with guano mines: "Nauru Islands".

Use this super-rich country, which once had the highest average annual income in the world in the previous life, to remind myself that sometimes too abundant resources can be a curse that can lead to the destruction of a country.

The resource curse is everywhere. Citizens may be rich for a while, but they will eventually squander the wealth of their ancestors.

He then casually took out a flag of the North Sea Empire from the Kingdom of God and forcefully inserted it into the largest and tallest floating island in the archipelago.

As Byron personally planted the flag of the North Sea Empire, the silk flag fluttered in the wind, representing that the adventure team had actually occupied the newly discovered island.

It was at this great moment that the North Sea Empire established by Byron became the first country in the world to achieve the national achievement: "The sun never sets."

The title of "Sun King" snatched from the Sun Empire and the Iris throne obtained at a bargain price all fell into his hands.

clang!clang!clang!
The huge bell rang simultaneously in the ears of nine Byrons.

The illusory crown of "Human Emperor" on his head became more and more dazzling at this moment, and the pattern of the Half-Step Triple Crown slowly changed into the shape of the sun.

The first layer is noon, the second layer is dusk, and the final third layer, dawn, still has minor flaws and is not completely complete.

Three suns shone above Byron's head, as if he was wearing a gorgeous solar crown.

At the same time, he also gained a new title ability:
"You have successfully been crowned the [Sun King] and [Storm King], combining the authority of the two mortal enemies of the deep sea and gaining a new power, the [Solar Storm].

The electromagnetic slingshot and wind elemental elf form, which already represent energy, have three additional branches: electromagnetic radiation, high-energy charged particle flow, and plasma cloud.

Faster speed, more violent power, and greater destructive power.

It has truly transitioned from a deep-sea mortal enemy to a deep-sea nemesis!

At the same time, you can also pass on your own fire to other related professions and clans through large-scale "fire transmission", allowing them to gain special attack effects against the old gods, clans, monsters, and evil spirits of the Sea of ​​​​Source.

In other words, even if a mortal is willing to risk his life and burn his own soul, it is possible to kill all kinds of weird things with ordinary bullets. "

Before Byron could even try out his new ability himself, he discovered that his harvest was not over yet.

At this moment, not only was his personal title fulfilled, but he also activated a national title that no other country had ever obtained before: [The First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets]!
Humans have all kinds of titles that carry magical powers, including for ships, but this is the first time that a country title has appeared in this world.

Because the country's stage is the entire world. If you don't even explore this world clearly, it will be useless no matter how high your legendary level is.

A pond that is too small cannot support a real dragon.

Once the conditions are met and the national title is successfully born, the effect will be world-class.

Byron saw the explanation in the logbook and understood:
"There are similar titles in another world, such as the 'Five Constant Virtues', which are known as the five great good men of Blue Star. This is a national title.

Each of them holds enormous power that affects the entire Blue Star.

The most intuitive manifestation is the veto power.

"Who in the hall is suing me?" "Forget it, you don't have to say anything, I will veto it."

"Sir, you haven't reviewed it yet?" "Then review it? Well, it's still a veto."

It’s so awesome!

Now my North Sea Empire has also gained a glimpse of this kind of power."

[The First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets] grants the North Sea Empire three title abilities.

First, [Lighthouse Country: Sun Protection]:
"The 'First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets' North Sea Empire has received the blessing of the sun, and the spiritual awakening rate of its people has increased by 100% from the original level.

At the same time, the North Sea Empire became the representative of the Lighthouse Sequence, and the growth rate of the Lighthouse Sequence Transcendents has since increased by 20% compared to other countries."

Second, [The Mountain Country, Spiritual Homeland]:
"The whole country will be known as a good man. Even if you do all kinds of evil, there will be countless foreigners who will bring their own food and speak well of you. They will regard you as their spiritual homeland and all of them will be eager to become a citizen of the North Sea Empire.

At the same time, the promotion speed of the tower sequence extraordinary people is also increased by 20%. "

Third, [Fighting Nation·Berserker Gene]:
"There are genetic mutations in the world called: 'Assassin Gene', 'Collectivism Gene', and 'Berserker Gene'.

This gene mutation prevents the carrier from effectively breaking down dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, leading to excessive accumulation of these three substances in the body.

Therefore, carriers of this gene are particularly competitive and can tolerate boring study and work. They will not pursue the happy education and boring fun of some people.

The berserker gene makes men appear gentler, more resistant to stress, more able to endure anger, more patient, and calmer at critical moments.

It usually doesn't explode, but once it explodes it generates enormous energy.

In other words, the more critical the moment, the more important the task, the steadier the heartbeat and the less shaking the hands.

To sum it up in one sentence, be timid in private fights and brave in public wars!
From now on, the people of the Empire, mainly Taiwanese, will fully activate this Berserker gene. "

It may seem insignificant and does not directly increase combat effectiveness, but it systematically and comprehensively enhances the country's potential.

It is equivalent to replacing the national template, correcting the collective subconscious of the entire ethnic group, and even fundamentally upgrading the genetic information.

In an instant, the entire country’s civilization buff is completely stacked.

Especially the third blessing [Berserker Gene] is what Byron values ​​the most.

Others don't understand, but he knows that in his previous life, 70% of the population of the nation that advocated revenge carried this gene.

In ancient times, they were invincible in farming and warfare, and in industrial society they were also the most powerful workers, engineers, and R&D personnel.

Although the Eastern power in this world does not exist, as long as he has this, Byron will also get the best people in the world!

Besides.

The significance of achieving “the sun never sets” goes far beyond these tangible benefits.

In the church countries of the Silver Continent, it also symbolizes the true destiny!
You know, when the [Three Phantom Suns] appeared in the sky, that is, three suns appeared.

Edward declared that the three suns in the sky were the best proof that the Creator blessed the House of York.

It not only represents the Trinity of the Creator in the church, but also represents the three heirs of the House of York: Edward, George, and Richard.

At the same time, the first chapter of the Gospel of Creation also makes it very clear that what the Creator created on the first day was light.

1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 1:2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. The Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

1:3 God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light.

1:4 God saw the light, that it was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 1:5 God called the light "Day," and the darkness he called "Night." And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

In addition, the three main professions in the Church Temple sequence are [Glorious Priest], [Corona Priest], and [Twilight Deacon], corresponding to morning, noon, and dusk respectively.

Therefore, among the core powers of the Creator, besides [Creation], the most important ministry is the [Sun] of the Trinity!
Another Psalm says of the Messianic King: "He will rule from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth."

Without a doubt, having an empire on which the sun never sets is proof of being a messianic king.

When the Son of God first came, he was called the "Messiah" and the "King of Kings", but no one acknowledged this.

When the Ancient Silver Empire captured him, they even put a crown of thorns on him to humiliate him.

After being stained with blood, it finally became the Level 0 holy relic [Crown of Thorns] in the hands of the church.

Byron's approach was completely opposite to that of his "brother", but more pragmatic.

It is not the person who wears the crown who becomes the king, but one must first have the identity of a king before being able to wear the crown.

So for Byron, whose buffs are almost fully stacked, what else could this be but destiny? ? ?
Byron was bathed in the golden divine light. Led by Eight Fingers, a group of people knelt down and cheered enthusiastically:
"The sun never sets!"

"The Sun King!"

"From now on, the sun will never set on the land of the empire. The sun will always shine on the land of the empire, allowing the subjects of the empire to bathe in the glory and grace of His Majesty Emperor Saint Byron."

Byron could not help but be in high spirits:
"From now on, every time I make a national speech through the legal network, I can start by saying, 'My subjects, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.'

In my memory, there is another great god, namely Hongyang, Qingyang and Baiyang, who are also a similar trinity and are also rebelling tirelessly and want to rule the world.

I might as well follow suit.”

However, national titles have their advantages and disadvantages.

Once the title and the vast colonial empire are lost, there will be a backlash:
“The North Sea Empire now controls the Holy Spirit Church countries on the west coast, and radiates to the Corridor of Truth and the new continent in the center of the Storm Ocean in the east.

After losing the colonial empire, it is possible that part of it will turn green and become the Emirate of North Seastan; part of it may turn black and become the Gallic black chicken; and part of it may turn colorful and become the Rainbow Nation.

Once the empire's colonial system collapses, it will be as terrible as the collapse of the tributary system.

By then, it won’t be a dream to gather all the elements that lead to the destruction of a nation: militarism, ethnic division, separatist regimes, excessive money supply, fierce party struggles, and rampant corruption.”

Just thinking about this scene gives me chills.

Byron didn't care too much about the backlash. If he was afraid of this or that, there was no need to do anything.

"As long as I'm here, that day will never come!"

He took the warship into the kingdom of God and was the first to set foot on the wild continent beneath his feet.

He believes that the guano mine is just the beginning and there must be more surprises waiting for him on this land.

(End of this chapter)
