Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 505: Inheritance (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader Hongyue 10/10)

Watching Li Yue's graceful figure depart, Li Wei was left speechless. When have I ever been a Scumbag?

Is that necessary?

But then again, not having seen Hathaway for half a year, he really did miss her quite a bit. Now that he had a foothold, it would be quite difficult to accumulate his foundation while following Falcon Karl to build merits and a career. Therefore, a situation like the Battle of Dawn must not happen again this time; losing two-thirds of his forces in one battle—tsk tsk!

He didn't know how well Hathaway had recovered. He specifically saved a Tier-4 Mage Purple Card for her. Oh, besides that, there were three Tier-4 Ranger Purple Cards, which he prepared to leave for the five guys most hopeful of advancing to Ranger.

That is, the only five surviving out of the dozens of disciples he took in at Gale Fortress back then.

Of course, two of those five would have to be temporarily eliminated, because he really only had three Tier-4 Ranger Purple Cards. The opening process of this kind of Purple Card could greatly benefit the opener, as long as they could complete the challenge.

The time gradually approached midnight.

At this moment, it was estimated that besides the Neanderthals and Samsara Travelers, all the large and small factions of the other three major kingdoms were incredibly tense and expectant, because the time for the half-year resupply had arrived.

This was fixed and would not change due to any accidents.

The good thing about Hathaway, Javier, Seth, and the hundreds of other resurrected people was that they died on the very first day, so they had a full six months to rest and reorganize.Even the soldiers who died in the second wave would have nearly five months of rest and reorganization time. Overall, this was very good.

But for other factions, the lucky ones might have a few months of recovery, while the unlucky ones might have to return to the ranks right after dying.

Want to rest and reorganize? Sure, come to the Ascension Continent to rest and reorganize.

This felt more like a turn-based logistical preparation, where massive amounts of supplies and personnel could be mobilized in a short time.

Finally, amidst slightly excited anticipation, Li Wei heard the faint tolling of a bell. Looking up sharply, he could see a bright yellow, mysterious Magic Shield descending overwhelmingly, as if time had stopped.

Following this, a door opened from within this bright yellow Magic Shield, binding and connecting with the Troubled Times Pioneering Card in Li Wei's hand, as if becoming a bridge, a coordinate.

With a slight shift of his thoughts, this door was pushed open.

Li Wei immediately saw the planet where his Blazing Territory was located, as well as two other unfamiliar planets.

At first, he didn't pay much attention, only thinking they were background plates. But he immediately realized something was wrong, because a background plate wouldn't have just three planets. The Thorns Pass from back then was located in an entire solar system.

"Wait, what's going on?"

Li Wei was slightly surprised, but there was no information prompt. Time seemed to stand still here. Oh, wait, a countdown timer was displayed at the very top. He only had sixty minutes to complete his logistical deployment. That was pretty good, enough time.

Thinking for a moment, he didn't rush to deploy and mobilize his own Blazing Territory. Instead, he examined a yellowish-brown planet on the far left.

More than ninety percent of this planet's area was covered by yellow sand. The naked eye could see terrifying hurricanes, casually looking like Force 18 gales. It was fundamentally impossible for anyone to survive there.

However, as Li Wei examined it, he found that the planet was rapidly drawing closer to him, as simple as an icon in a game.

When the distance closed to a certain extent, there was a click, as if some chain had been unlocked, or like some mechanical device had successfully docked and embedded itself. A wisp of blue light flew out from Li Wei's hand and pierced into the planet before him. In the next second, there finally came an information prompt.

[This is the Inheritance gifted to you by A Qing, a Five-Star Lord of the All-Heavens Alliance whom you saved—because she has no direct Heirs, had no external debts before her disappearance, and over the past hundred-plus years, her territory has been running well. Although in reality it would go completely bankrupt in another seven years and be forced to undergo a preservation auction based on the most Basic Humanistic Care, with the auction proceeds reserved for A Qing for five hundred years before being reclaimed by the Nine-Star Council.]

[Friendly reminder: After the soul of Five-Star Lord A Qing returned to her Homeworld, although she could not undergo Resurrection, based on her Contribution to the Alliance of Heavenly Lords, it was decided to follow the customs of her Homeworld, and she became a small Earthbound Spirit in the ancestral temple. After her consciousness recovered, she made a clear choice, which was to donate her Inheritance to you. This process is reasonable, logical, and lawful.]

[Now, please receive your territory. The specific information is as follows:]

[You have acquired a five-star territory that would go bankrupt in seven years. The territory belongs to the Kingdom of Rhodoks. There is no past record of tax evasion, but after seven years, this territory is bound to go bankrupt because you are in the Ascension Continent and cannot return, nor can you bring back any Mana. You can only take away the people from this territory.]

[The current legal land of the territory amounts to 1,500 square kilometers, and the illegal territory area is 100,000 square kilometers, but most of it is already deserted. This land belongs to a Marquisate.]

[The current Total Population of the territory is 205,462 people, of which 150,000 are Ordinary People born in the past century; the rest are all Class Holders of two stars or above.]

[The current territory has three remaining Advisors, all of whom are Barons. They are Tier-4 Night Ranger A Su, Tier-4 Night Warrior He Yibo, and Tier-3 Spellcaster Tucker. The territory originally had nine Advisors, but the other six followed A Qing on her Cross-Border Mission, died in battle, and went missing.]

[The current territory has one Gale Knights order. There are currently thirty-two Gale Knights remaining, and they are also Tier-3 Night Knights.]

[The current territory has five hundred Five-Star Heavy Cavalry. None of them have broken through the All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening. In fact, due to the scarcity of Mana and low-quality food, their average attributes have dropped by more than twenty points over the past century. Furthermore, the Armor on their bodies has degraded to plain white quality, all Warhorses have died, and their Pet Cards have Collapsed.]

[The current territory has two thousand Heavy Armored Infantry. All are Four-Star Class-holders, and their Weapons and Equipment are all plain white quality.]

[The current territory has five hundred Heavy Armored Archers. All are Four-Star Class-holders, and their Weapons and Equipment are all plain white quality.]

[The current territory has two hundred Four-Star Artisans, two hundred Miners, two hundred Woodcutters, two hundred Mountain Folk, and two hundred fishermen.]

[The current territory no longer has any magical equipment left. Only a Two-Star Mage Tower remains, barely holding on.]

[Friendly reminder: You can only bring them all to the Ascension Continent. Once they are Fallen in Battle, they will only respawn in the Blazing Territory. Or, if you build an All-Heavens Temple in your Liwei Keep, and have enough Priests, they will also respawn in Liwei Keep.]

[Warning: When all the Ordinary People in the current territory die, their souls will disperse, because they were all born in the current territory. They have no Homeworld to return to, unless you are willing to pay a heavy price to resurrect them.]

[Warning: All Class Holders in the current territory can only endure Resurrection once at most, after which they will die completely. Those with a Homeworld will return to their Homeworld; those without a Homeworld will only sleep eternally!]

Good Heavens, this Inheritance is quite a lot!

Over two hundred thousand people.

Li Wei hesitated for a moment, then backed out to look at the Inheritance belonging to Jack on another planet.

The result was unfortunate. Because Jack had been missing for too long, his territory went bankrupt thirty years ago and was forced into auction. After deducting external debts and the funds needed to resettle the territory's Commoners, the remaining amount left for Li Wei was only 349 Gold Coins.

This—there was nothing to say, nowhere to reason.

After all, Basic Humanistic Care was at play here.

Forget It.

Thinking for a moment, Li Wei directly drafted all the Heavy Cavalry and the thirty-two Gale Knights from A Qing's territory. In addition, those three Advisors were also drafted over together.

Besides this, one thousand five hundred Heavy Infantry were drafted, and all the Heavy Armored Archers were drafted over.

Artisans, Miners, Woodcutters, Mountain Folk, and fishermen, totaling one thousand people, were organized into a Logistics Camp and shipped over as a whole package.

Five hundred soldiers were left behind to maintain daily order, and they were told to expect further drafting in half a year. Whether they understood or not didn't matter; anyway, under normal circumstances, a territory that wouldn't go bankrupt for another seven years wouldn't suddenly Collapse and go bankrupt just because it lost this many people now.

As Li Wei made his decision, with a flash of light, all 3,535 people were teleported over.

They crammed Liwei Keep full all at once.

At this point, Li Wei finally clicked on the Blazing Territory. Over here, he didn't see the living, breathing Hathaway and the others; everything was in a data information mode, and they could only communicate through messages.

"Second Aunt, you continue to stay in the Blazing Territory and take charge of cultivating the farmland. Currently, the Total Population on my side is about to break five thousand, and there should be another two hundred thousand Ordinary People later. The pressure for food is immense, so I can only entrust this part to you. But I promise, I'll bring you over in ten years, ten years at most."

After finishing his instructions, Li Wei began selecting the returning members.

Hathaway, Javier, Seth, Paul, as well as the former Satyrs—now Second-Tier Casters—Kidman and Hank, plus the Temple Knight Mark, all the Heavy Cavalry of the Blazing Legion, all the Heavy Armored Infantry, and 305 Royal Guards.

Over nine hundred people returned to the ranks all at once.

The rest were massive amounts of grain, vegetables, fruits, mountain products, Magic Potions, Secret Medicines, various building materials, and so on.

After all this was selected, a message came from Second Aunt.

"Xiao Wei, take good care of Xiao Yue for me. I heard Jiang Xinran died? Sigh, I'm doing quite well here, but many Commoners in the Blazing Territory are very resistant to going to the Ascension Continent. I've been worried about it. They say you want to be a King, but without enough Commoners, what kind of King can you be? But now it's great, I don't know where you got two hundred thousand Commoners, but anyway, I'm ready to Live Large and coast through my days!"

Sweat!

Li Wei quickly explained a few more words before ending the conversation and completing this logistical deployment.

And by this time, the Total Population of his territory had broken through five thousand people in one breath.

Hahaha!

Happy!

However, the resettlement of nearly five thousand people was truly a headache!

Fortunately, his Hathaway was back.

Well, actually, although Hathaway was good at Internal Affairs, she was even better at magic. Next, the Mage Tower needed to be built, so she wouldn't have time to manage Internal Affairs.

Fortunately, Zhao Qingshan was also not bad.
