Chapter 542 - 542: Progress On The Holy Kingdom



If one joined the old faction or even headed to the Crimson Moon, they would be met with hostility.

Some cities controlled by the sects might even launch attacks against these Lords.

Under immense pressure, many Lords found themselves hesitating.

Despite the benefits offered by the old faction, the true rulers appeared to be the gods.

In this situation, the news from the Tasirian Lords Association once again leaned toward the old faction.

The ancient gods possessed the power from the beginning of creation! And the current gods were the ones who stole the power from the ancient gods to become divine beings.

Compared to the new gods, the ancient gods had higher authority and power. They could easily take the power of ordinary gods away.

After the news spread, the sects were infuriated and began spreading rumors.

They claimed that the news was merely rumors spread by the old demonic forces to manipulate people, while the gods were the true leaders of the world. They were the greatest beings who could safeguard everyone.

The credibility of the news was extremely high since it was disseminated by the Tasirian Lords Association, and it was said to have been inadvertently revealed by Su Wan during a conversation.

Although the statement wasn’t confirmed, Su Wan’s reputation was clearly higher than the unpopular sects and people were more willing to believe her.

Additionally, the sects’ arguments were filled with empty claims and arrogance.

This resulted in mistrust among the other Lords, who then headed to the Crimson Moon.

Time passed by quickly, and the shocking news caused the already tumultuous situation to boil over.

Lords from all sects received S-class faction quests to destroy the old faction.

The gods were no longer hiding their fear and anger and issued a mobilization order.

Lords from all sects were required to participate in the siege of the old faction whether they liked it or not.

Soon after, news about protecting the old faction reached the Lords, who had already converted their armies into units of the old faction.

The new fake gods who had seized authority were now anxious and fearful.

All Lords belonging to the old faction were required to head to the Crimson Moon and await the return of the ancient gods.

After several months of brewing trouble, the struggle between the S-class quests and the two hostile factions finally erupted.

There were two main quests and two factions. Each day, many missions were being distributed. It further escalated the tense situation.

Every day, Lords from the old faction were killed by sect attacks on the Crimson Moon, and Lords from the sect factions were destroyed as well.

In regions with many Lords and numerous resources, war became a common activity.

Amid the great upheaval, it was impossible to remain unaffected.

The sects quickly assembled their armies. According to the Lords’ speculations, they would launch a full-scale attack on the Crimson Moon in about half a month.

By then, the Crimson Moon would face countless troops ruled by gods.

Years of accumulation of power would reach a culmination. It was going to be a war of an epic scale.

At the Lord’s mansion, Su Wan sat at the long table with a teacup in hand. She was looking at the Lord’s forum and scowling.

“Timo, is there any news from Mestre today?”

After a while, she finally closed the forum.

“My Lord, I just received the news.” Though his hair had turned white, Timo’s spirit remained as sharp as ever. “Several sects in Canglan City are now preparing for battle. It has caused the prices of advanced weaponry within the city to surge drastically. Meanwhile, the price of food has also risen by thirty percent. Items such as magic scrolls and potions have also seen price hikes.” With the war breaking out, the impact will be an all-encompassing one that would spare no one. After a large-scale purchase, we have enough grain to support the territory for two years.”

“In the Tasiria Plane, under the guidance of Queen Angel, they have also increased their food reserves. Coupled with their existing stockpile, they can sustain themselves for a year and a half.”

Although the Lord’s armies didn’t require logistical support as undead beings, the residents and workers did. Without food, people would die.

Currently, the territory not only had to support the population within the city but also had to take care of the inhabitants of the underground world and the Tasiria Plane.

The total population might reach three to four million. The daily logistical requirements were staggering.

“In the Eternal Land, the Agricultural Department is already working tirelessly and cultivating the land. In the Tasiria Plane, large-scale expansion of the cultivation area is also underway.”

“How is the progress of the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce in producing the Magic Music Box?” asked Su Wan.

“According to the news from Mestre, formal production started yesterday.” A hint of surprise appeared on Timo’s face.

The Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce lived up to its reputation as a top-tier trading company. In a short time, they had set up the production line, and the initial output could be stretched to twenty thousand units per day!

What was even more crucial was that there would be greater production capacity input in the future!

“In order to strengthen production, the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce has acquired more than twenty small guilds with relevant alchemical technology. With such an investment, it is foreseeable that it wouldn’t be long before the Magic Music Box would be fully available in the market.”

As one of the top trading companies that had existed for countless years, they didn’t disappoint when they mobilized all their efforts.

For the native inhabitants with impoverished spiritual lives, the Magic Music Box simply had an irresistible allure.

“What is the situation in the Holy Kingdom?” asked Su Wan.

“Prince Jia Wen has received support from four grand dukes. That has caused shockwaves throughout the entire Holy Kingdom!” said Timo excitedly. Prince Jia Wen, once the most underestimated weakling, has transformed into a dazzling rising star in the Holy Kingdom. Everyone is discussing Prince Jia Wen now!”

As instructed, their people have already begun subtly guiding public opinion in the shadows, with a focus on whitewashing Prince Jia Wen and pushing him toward the position of heir to the throne.

The Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce was astonishing. Not only did they wield immense influence around the Land of Darkness, but they also had a significant number of undercover agents even within the capital of the Holy Kingdom.

The plan, without the slightest compromise, was being carried out smoothly.

Initially, the royal family did not approve, but the impact caused by the collaboration of the four grand dukes pressured those who held objections.

The Divine King suffered a sudden stroke half a month ago and was bedridden.

Although Prince Jia Wen and the old king still had some disagreements, the old king might be realizing that his time was running out and might be willing to accept Jia Wen as his heir. However, that didn’t mean he treated his son any better than before. It was more of an “out of sight, out of mind” approach.

The old king was mostly attended to by the eldest prince and the second prince.

“Has the royal family given up on the intention of conquering the Tasiria Plane?” Su Wan narrowed her eyes.

“The eldest prince and the second prince, in their bid to compete for merit, have already begun forming alliances with major noble families. They are preparing to make their move on the Tasiria Plane.” Timo shook his head in displeasure.

The first batch of royal spies has already infiltrated Canglan City.

“Should we intervene and give them a warning?” Timo’s eyes flashed in anger..
