Origin Paradise!

“The Duke of Anle was demoted to Marquis of Wangsheng, and his fief was reduced.”

"Three years from now, I will return to the mortal realm. I hope all of you will faithfully fulfill your duties..."

The Taoist temple was completely silent.

The Prince of Anbei calmly put down the imperial edict, his face resolute.

The Supreme Elder glanced at the other party discreetly. As the final executor of the imperial edict, he knew that there was actually nothing on the edict; it was just a blank sheet of paper.

But this imperial edict was indeed personally bestowed by the emperor.

Whoever has the courage and ambition will reap the rewards.

The Supreme Elder made the decision; as the final Grandmaster, his words naturally carried great weight.

"Greetings to Regent Prince Qian."

Among the officials, some were suspicious, some were annoyed, some were calm, and some were shocked. But at this moment, whether they wanted to or not, they could only bow in respect, for the emperor's lingering influence still existed.

"Greetings to Regent Prince Qian."

Chapter 361 Return to Settlement

The current location is Anping Island in the South China Sea.

Transmission completed.

The animal team returns, and all members have reached the Silver rank.

The regression and improvement process has ended.

On the other side, Wuhe and Lao Hei were also sorting out their harvest.

The team members' mission objectives, mission evaluations, and settlement rewards were basically the same, and Wuhe leveled up to LV19.

His speed attribute has always been the highest, exceeding 20 points as early as the Bronze stage. This time, with full investment, it has now reached 30 points, and his life level has leaped to Elite. However, his strength, physique, and spirit are still hovering around the baseline.

Quest Reward - Excellent Blessing Aura.

Old Black has leveled up to LV14, and the excellent scroll is the Spring Aura.

Jiang He examined the Superior Grade Inexhaustible Halo in his hand and fell into deep thought.

[Name: Inexhaustible Halo]

[Category: Auxiliary]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: When the aura is activated, friendly units within 100 meters recover 5 health points per second. Each activation consumes 300 energy points and lasts for a maximum of 10 minutes.]

[Note: Basic qualities of a support staff]

“Boss, mine is not much different from yours; it restores health points,” Wuhe said.

Old Hei checked the scroll; his was filled with blue energy.

"Let's give them all to Lao Hei," Jiang He decided. Zhuang Ya doesn't have a universal body, so she can't use the Origin items and scrolls. Wu He is good at speed and runs around all day, so having the halo is quite useless. It's better to concentrate them all on Lao Hei.

Wuhe had no objections, and Lao Hei didn't mind transforming into a mobile blood fountain, immediately using the three excellent scrolls.

Not far away, Zhuang Ya was gnawing on the last piece of dragon bone. The giant dragon's true body was a hundred meters long, and now it had all become her meal. Blood Hunting greatly enhanced her overall physical strength.

Jiang He witnessed the little girl's rise from an ordinary person in the Silver Age to an elite, demonstrating the Dragon Clan's unique advantage in becoming stronger.

"The destruction of the Dragon Star means it will be difficult to find a suitable orthodox cultivation method for Aya."

"Dragons can improve rapidly through blood hunting, but the difficulty of advancing to a higher stage should not be underestimated."

Jiang He recalled the tribulation he had endured on behalf of others last time. Although it was partly due to his own restlessness and leaving the forest, he had almost faced the legendary creature Ji You head-on. The intensity was still too high. To be honest, he was only a hair's breadth away from being captured and imprisoned. If it had been any other Silver level cultivator, it would have been difficult for him to escape.

Not long after, the team's upgrade was completed.

One Silver Overlord, two Silver Elites, and one Silver Ordinary—a somewhat unbalanced lineup.

At the same time, the Southern Division of the Bureau of Order sent a set of electronic equipment. Ever since someone completed an assassination mission under the guise of a powerful nation, the division's attitude has become noticeably more friendly.

The title of Garrison Commander is a formal appointment bestowed upon local players by the Order Bureau headquarters. Most of these regions share a common characteristic: the tangible benefits far outweigh the honorary title, and they also contain a certain degree of danger.

Given that we are currently in the early stages of an extraordinary recovery and are facing shortages of manpower and resources, adopting a cooperative approach to expand our operations will be beneficial in securing a foothold in the market during the initial development phase.

Under Shuguang's coordination, the equipment was put into use at the villa on Anping Island, and our side successfully connected to the internal network of the Order Bureau.

"Boss, the Bureau of Order's branch seems interested in sharing some intelligence with us," Wuhe Gaga deduced.

"The key lies in the player trading platforms they secretly support," Jiang He said. With the precedent of the god-making plan, the Bureau of Order clearly does not intend to carry out a large-scale overall strategy openly again.

The nations cooperate based on the "Current Border Defense Council" to jointly maintain the trading platform and use the dark web to lower the guard of wild players. In fact, in any seemingly dark corner of the world, there are machines from the nations spying on them.

"Within the Great Xia territory, the remaining forces, led by the nine ancient families, claim to be the orthodox ones." Wuhe searched for useful information, "They have jointly formed the Buddhist and Taoist Committee and cooperated with the Bureau of Order. The latter has inherited various extraordinary institutions from previous ancient official governments. The Ancient One Supervisor claims to be a Saint (Legend) at the peak and is currently the true leader of the faction."

The orthodox term for sixth-order life forms in Great Xia is "immortals and gods," while in the West they are mythical beings, or simply gods. There is currently no clear indication of their existence, and the only note at the end is "not optimistic."

Old Hei was also browsing the publicly available information. As of now, the extraordinary forces in the current realm have been divided into six major factions based on geography, and the leaders of these factions automatically receive the title of faction leader.

The Great Xia faction, the Tsarist faction, the Indian faction, the Roman faction, the Egyptian faction, and the American faction.

In addition, smaller factions with relatively weak lineages, such as Yingzhou and Zuizhou, usually survive on the fringes or under the command of larger factions. Most of them have only one or two ancient legendary life forms within them, and many smaller factions don't even have any.

The legendary beings, acting as if they were ultimate weapons, confronted and balanced each other, ultimately contributing to the overall stability of the present world.

Jiang He logged into the Realm Defense Council's player trading platform, where thousands of transaction messages were dazzling. According to the Order Bureau's analysis room's estimate, the number of Realm players may have reached 200,000.

"Rare items are worth 1000-3000 game coins."

"Fine-grade items are worth 3000-10000 game coins."

"The items circulating in the market are mainly common and rare. Fine-grade items are occasionally seen, but they are basically defective products of the same level. There are no perfect-grade items at all."

Jiang He browsed through them one by one. The Gluttonous Lord's unification of the extraordinary did not actually use the item level as the only standard. The true essence was the concentration and quality of the extraordinary factors, as well as their compatibility.

Before obtaining a perfect set, he planned to get a set of armor for Old Black to make up for the lack of foundation caused by the speedrun of the Proof of the Strong. At the same time, Moa also needed a main weapon. He had not been able to get the perfect quality Elephant Poison Sword and Watcher's Shield before.

"Let's pool our money, I don't have enough game currency."

Wuhe and Laohei each contributed 12000 game coins. Since they had received S+ ratings in all previous missions, they had plenty of funds.

The order for twelve rare-grade armor pieces essentially wiped out all armor-related items on the platform at that moment, costing 21600 game coins.

Ten rare weapons were ordered, costing 17600 game coins.

After spending a large sum of money, the entire team became penniless, and Jiang He's game currency was completely wiped out.

Only half an hour after the remittance was completed, magic circle patterns appeared on the ground in front of the villa on Anping Island. Among the players with authority, the logistics captains were the most numerous, followed by the order guards, while the executive officers and intelligence officers were the fewest and had the highest mortality rate.

"Payment received, signed for by the Anping Garrison Commander of the Great Xia Camp."

"Please give me a good review, dear."

The logistics captain, who was under the council's jurisdiction, delivered the goods to our door. Twenty-two rare-grade items were displayed in a sealed box. He was not old, around thirty years old, and had a very energetic demeanor. He was riding a high-quality motorcycle.

Jiang He bid farewell to the passerby, turned and walked into the villa, with Zhuang Ya following behind, carrying a large suitcase.

"Began to eat."

Under the watchful eyes of Wuhe and Lao Hei, Jiang He chewed up each of the armor props, each with a completely different taste.

The Gluttonous Lord's power was activated, consuming twelve rare-grade items with highly compatible attributes, and the perfect armor was successfully integrated.

Wuhe exclaimed, "Selling it should make us a small profit."

Jiang He shook his head. He could only accept private customization at the moment. Overuse of the Gluttony Power would enter a cooldown that could not be refreshed, which had been verified before. The essence of Gluttony was far superior to the final time ring.

The armor was forged, incorporating elements of Old Black's previous rare and sturdy armor.

[Name: Armor of the King's Guard]

[Category: Armor]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect ①: Ultimate Strength/Shock Absorption]

[Effect 2: Guardian - When in a defensive stance, overall defense is increased by 60%]

[Effect 3: Resurrection - When the armor is completely destroyed, restore the wearer's full health.]

[Effect 4: Courtesy - Allows movement around the contractor within the same world; each activation consumes 3000 Silver Energy]

[Note: Produced by BingeEating]

Jiang He followed the same method and successfully produced a short thorn that could be attached to a claw.

[Name: Shadow Raid]

[Category: Weapons]

[Quality: Perfect]

[Effect ①: Supreme Penetration/Sturdiness]

[Effect 2: Shadow - When attacking from the shadows, piercing damage is increased by 60%]

[Effect 3: Surprise Attack - Movement speed increased by 60% for 60 seconds, up to three times per day]

[Effect 4: Piercing Strike - Reduces weapon durability, but each instance grants an additional 20% true damage]

[Note: Produced by BingeEating]

The two perfect-grade items have been distributed.

Old Black has now become a fully armored tank, with his perfect heavy shield and armor providing considerable defensive capabilities.

The Wuhe has made further progress in assassination and speed. Previously, skill scrolls were mostly for intelligence agents, but now the main weapon equipment has made up for a lot of the offensive capabilities.

"You two, don't forget to lead Zhuang Ya in her training."

"I'm going to the border."

If the Bureau of Order has any information, they should try to evade it first.

Jiang He got up and put the Divine Hunter Set back into his equipment slot. He planned to hunt some prey in the forest.

“Boss, leave the outside to us. I’m a master of Tai Chi,” Wuhe Gaga replied.

Old Hei nodded steadily. The Great Zhou Dynasty existed in the vast wilderness of the border, and its ruler, Ji You, was a legendary being. Such a configuration was no less than that of some small factions in the present world. The problem was that the unknown areas of the Great Wilderness were still very large, and there might be other legends, such as the giant bird that once attacked the Yuwang Stele, which covered the sky and blocked out the sun.

Jiang He set off for the border, and when he passed the Yuwang Stele, he opened the isolation barrier. The construction of Yuwang City was in full swing.

The dark forest remained as quiet and eerie as ever.

He ran wildly towards the icy cliffs and arrived safely several hours later.

Before the lush forest, towering cliffs emitted wisps of frigid white mist, from which blood trickled out, and the surrounding air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

The ultimate all-seeing eye is activated.

The entire area within a radius of twelve kilometers is visible.
