Chapter 314 -314-Good Things Are Taken by Force
Meanwhile.
James and Mosi had also finished exchanging their respective treasures, and each of them had exchanged for a Scroll of Radiant Stars.
The three met in front of the portal.
"Boss Faustus, goodbye."
James waved farewell.
Mosi did not speak. He only nodded slightly.
"See you again."
Daniel waved as well.
James’s hometown was in Frostfall Galaxy, Mosi’s hometown was in Misty Starsea, and Daniel was returning to Visca Galaxy.
Inside Golden Holy Mountain’s portal was the most detailed and complete Star Chart currently available in the Canaan starfield.
With a single thought, it could send him directly back to Visca Galaxy.
The portal lit up with dazzling radiance, and the figures of the three gradually disappeared within the light.
...
Visca Galaxy.
Daniel stepped into the portal, and brilliant light swallowed him.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in Visca Galaxy.
This was his territory, his foundation, the starting point of all his ambitions!
He was not in a hurry to return to Earth. Instead, he first went to the Dawn Pirates’ base and picked up Camille.
Camille still looked as cold, sharp, and capable as ever. When she saw Daniel, a faint trace of relief flashed through her eyes, almost too subtle to notice.
"My lord, you’re back."
Daniel nodded and brought her back to Earth.
With his puppet avatar stationed there, he knew the players’ growth progress like the back of his hand.
The avatar’s consciousness was connected to his, yet it also operated independently.
During the time he had been away participating in the competition, the avatar had been continuously advancing various reforms and improvements.
And the players’ growth speed had even somewhat surprised Daniel.
The resources in the monster-farming areas were extremely abundant. Their levels had soared all the way upward, almost without encountering any obstacles.
The foundation of all this lay in the vast territory Daniel had conquered.
Equipment, skills, pets, materials...
Whatever the players wanted, they had it, as if they were standing inside an inexhaustible treasury.
Without this vast territory, their progress would probably have been several times slower.
It was worth mentioning that none of the players had rashly attempted to break through or construct their Divine Domains.
Daniel already had experience in this regard. He had long since organized information related to Divine Domains into a guide and made it public.
Everyone knew clearly that the gap between a good Divine Domain and an ordinary Divine Domain was like a heavenly chasm.
Before they had sufficient confidence, no one dared to break through recklessly.
And now, the time had come!
Daniel placed all the Sacred Materials and Divine Domain templates he had brought back from Golden Holy Mountain into the guild warehouse.
Want to break through beyond supreme-grade?
Want Sacred Materials?
Want Divine Domain templates?
All of that was possible!
Exchange for them with points.
Not enough points?
No problem. Ever heard of working for them?
A faint smile rose at the corners of Daniel’s lips. After that, he formulated a series of strategies for outward expansion.
After Camille finished reading those plans, her brows furrowed slightly, and there was some hesitation in her tone.
"My lord, you want to conquer all the small worlds in Visca Galaxy?"
Daniel glanced at her. "What? Is there a problem?"
Camille fell silent for a moment, carefully considering her words.
"That is every single small world in an entire galaxy... Visca Galaxy has countless factions. You are not the only Golden Holy Mountain member here!"
"There are quite a few Golden Holy Mountain powerhouses in this place. Not to mention, there are also factions that do not belong to Golden Holy Mountain—such as the Myriad Races Alliance!"
"In Visca Galaxy, the Myriad Races Alliance is also a colossal force. Although its overall scale in the Canaan starfield cannot compare to Golden Holy Mountain, they are still a faction with Oracle-grade existences presiding over them. If this triggers a faction war..."
She paused, feeling that Daniel’s plan was truly somewhat aggressive.
"Aggressive?"
The corners of Daniel’s lips lifted slightly. His voice was calm as water, yet carried an unquestionable certainty.
"Divine-grade powerhouses cannot descend into small worlds. With my avatar stationed there, what is there to fear if I take them all?"
"There is nothing to worry about. The Godkin are firmly under my control now, more obedient than little dogs."
"As for the shadowkin, sirenfolk, and the like, they are nothing more than minor characters. So what if they have Oracle-grade existences? The higher one reaches Oracle-grade, the more reservations one has!"
"Behind me stands Golden Holy Mountain. They don’t have the courage to directly make trouble for me."
He stood up, his gaze turning toward the distant horizon, toward that star sea waiting to be conquered.
"The iron law of the Endless Starsea is survival of the fittest! With blood and fire as the brush, and the star sea as the scroll, one must fight with everything one has to seize everything!"
"Our first step is to conquer the Myriad Races Starry Sky and take all the small worlds into our hands. After that, the entire Visca Galaxy will submit beneath our feet."
Camille pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "The Godkin, shadowkin, and sirenfolk are indeed easy enough to deal with. But that Myriad Races Alliance... how does my lord plan to handle them?"
"The Myriad Races Alliance..."
Daniel’s fingers slowly tapped against the tabletop, his knuckles striking the metal and producing cold echoes.
"They have great Oracle-grade existences presiding over them. Indeed, they are not comparable to other factions. But if they have great Oracle-grade existences, does Golden Holy Mountain not have any?"
He had already calculated all of this clearly.
Great Oracle-grade existences had to accept mandatory missions issued by their faction at fixed intervals.
As long as he was willing to pay enough points, it might not be impossible to invite them to take action.
In that case, what was there to fear?
Just fight!
Hesitation would only lead to defeat and death. Even if a decisive charge ended in failure, it was still better than hiding inside a shell, clinging to life, and passively waiting to be devoured.
"The Myriad Races Alliance is not worth fearing. What we want are only those small worlds, not middle worlds or great worlds, those high-grade territories with abundant output."
"If the Myriad Races Alliance dares to obstruct me..."
Daniel’s voice suddenly sank.
"I will make them pay a price in blood."
Camille nodded slightly. "Golden Holy Mountain is ultimately the hegemonic force of the Canaan starfield. Even if the Myriad Races Alliance wants to make a move, they will have to weigh the consequences carefully."
"What if we encounter powerhouses who are also from Golden Holy Mountain?"
Camille asked another question.
Daniel turned his head and looked at her. The smile on his lips did not change in the slightest.
"Then we seize it all the same!"
"Being timid and hesitant has never been my nature. My style has only one rule—advance without turning back!"
"I don’t care who they are. Take it first, then talk!"
He deployed the plan in an orderly manner.
All players who participated in the campaign against the small worlds would receive a large number of points.
In this way, the points the players needed to break through beyond supreme-grade would also have a source.
"I will sell treasures that are crucial to the players, and the players will pay with labor and time in exchange for the capital to become stronger. Meanwhile, I will extract even greater profits from the players and from the territory itself."
"With this, everyone benefits."
Daniel nodded in satisfaction.
Next, he still needed to formulate the Astral Corsairs’ plundering strategy.
"I hold the Millionfold Boost system in my hands. I must continuously gather resources and stack them layer upon layer. Only by doing so can I maximize the benefits!"
Besides that...
He took a giant egg out of his pack.
The giant egg was completely black, like ink. On its surface, faint glimmers resembling flowing galaxies could vaguely be seen. It emitted an ancient, profound, and boundless aura.
It was a Starbeast egg.
"I need to create an avatar first. An avatar using a Starbeast as its vessel... it is practically tailor-made for me."
