Chapter 68: Feasibility Plan for Occupation

After a moment of thought, Socrates finally spoke slowly.

"Regarding the right to occupy the surrounding supernatural worlds granted to us by the great Nightmare Lord,"

"we naturally must resolutely carry it out."

"Around Holy Feather Dark Source, there are over three hundred small to medium-sized supernatural worlds. Many of these places possess precious resources. If we can exploit them, it will play a crucial role in the development of the Blood Dream Arena."

"More importantly, the resistance we encounter in exploiting these places will be very weak."

"Unlike here on the Holy Feather Dark Source continent, where every place is occupied by forces of varying sizes."

"Moreover, combined with the Blood Dream Coin, completing economic harvesting will be very effective."

"And such a teleportation only requires a one-time entry into the Blood Dream Arena, with no additional costs."

"I must say, the supreme greatness of the great Nightmare Lord, being able to conduct transactions across such vast distances with the Blood Dream Ring, is truly unimaginably formidable." Socrates sighed in admiration.

"Of course," Gune said with a light laugh.

"The Blood Dream Arena was personally constructed by the great Lord. Its vastness and majesty are indeed beyond the comprehension of supernatural beings like us."

"I have also completed preliminary negotiations with many other forces in the Dachi Dragon Mountains. They all strongly endorse this plan."

"These small to medium-sized supernatural worlds will become powerful sources of resources for us in the future."

"We have already begun to steadily implement this plan."

"However, the quantity of Blood Dream Coins may be insufficient. After all, to promote a currency, we must have an adequate supply." Socrates said.

"That's not a big problem," Gune said after a moment's thought.

"I will inform the great Nightmare Lord. This is no issue for the Nightmare Lord at all."

This type of Blood Dream Coin, containing a trace of faith and constructed from spell incantations and blood crystals, was very simple for Gune to produce, with virtually no cost.

After the sacrificed blood entered the Blood Sea and was absorbed and transformed, part became Gune's own power, while the other part was used by Gune to construct Blood Dream Coins.

Only the blood crystals imbued with the faith of the Nightmare Lord and the blood power of the Nightmare Lord, constructed by Gune, could circulate.

Any counterfeit would simply be ordinary blood crystals, immediately absorbed by the Blood Dream Arena.

Of course, the construction of these Blood Dream Coins was not yet complex, but Gune still had to produce them himself.

Once Gune grew stronger and had more time,

Gune would construct a steam-mechanized factory within the Blood Sea, complete with a statue of the Nightmare Lord's faith and numerous Blood Dream Elves.

He could establish a Blood Dream Coin mint to produce high-denomination Blood Dream Coins.

Printing money was the most profitable business of all.

"After I inform the Nightmare Lord, every time you make a sacrifice, the Nightmare Lord will grant you a certain amount of Blood Dream Coins."

"Correspondingly, you need to set up shops or similar establishments in the Blood Dream Arena to circulate the Blood Dream Coins."

"As for the pricing of Blood Dream Coins, let the market decide."

"I understand that," Socrates nodded.

"With the Nightmare Lord actively bestowing Blood Dream Coins, everything will be easy."

"By the way, did the elder find that treasure related to teleportation that I asked about?"

"There is news now, and negotiations are ongoing," Socrates said.

"Mm, continue the talks. Price is not an issue."

"I understand."

"Also, how is the inquiry about the Divine Crown going?" Gune asked again.

Gune's Blood Sea was now vast, comparable to an inland ocean.

It could easily accommodate more Blood Dream clans.

Naturally, Gune needed to begin nurturing more Blood Dream Elves. The number produced by one crown was temporarily sufficient.

But as more worlds came under his influence, Gune would need more Blood Dream Elves to preside over sacrifices.

Gune had already begun the early nurturing of Blood Dream Elves.

"The Divine Crown is not easily sold even in Holy Feather Dark Source, after all, it can essentially be seen as the stable birth of a deity."

"Basically, no force would easily sell it."

After a moment's thought, Gune nodded. "I see."

"It seems,"

Gune rubbed his brow.

"I still need to buy it in Saint Haigaer."

"Once this capital starts rolling, purchasing a Divine Crown won't be difficult. I could even buy several Divine Crowns. The most ordinary divine envoy Divine Crown will do—cheap and effective."

After discussing with Socrates,

Gune left the Holy Feather Dark Source Blood Dream Arena with 27 million Holy Source Coins.

In the secret chamber,

Gune slowly opened his eyes.

"The expansion of the Blood Dream Arena and the Blood Dream Coins is proceeding steadily, with no major issues in any aspect."

"Once they succeed in crossing the river by feeling the stones, I can borrow their methods and models, follow suit, and begin similar occupations of the Guron-Tan large-scale transcendent world and other small-scale transcendent worlds."

"Only, in their Holy Feather Dark Source, the Morning Radiance Source Clan is the core, and the Dachi Dragon Mountains are the core."

"While in our Guron-Tan world cluster, the Oya Continent is the core."

Then, Gune's mind focused on the numerous Holy Source Coins.

"The eight million Holy Source Coins I had before, after this period of arena battles, have now exceeded ten million."

"Adding the twenty-seven million obtained this time, I now have a total of thirty-seven million."

"Thirty-seven million is just a drop in the bucket within this betting pool. After all, there are far too many transcendent beings participating in this pool. At the very least, billions are involved; even if each person bets a hundred Holy Source Coins, that's hundreds of billions. In reality, the number might be several times higher, because there are many, many wealthy people in Saint Haigar."

Making the betting pool large enough was one of the reasons Gune was so high-profile.

With higher fame and more participants, no one would discover Gune making money within it.

And he would also earn enough.

Otherwise, if there were only a hundred million Holy Source Coins in the pool,

Gune's thirty-seven million would not even get a piece of the meat.

"Tomorrow is the life-and-death battle with that Shepherd Goat. I hope that guy is strong enough. Otherwise, the subsequent plans won't be easy to carry out."

...

The next day!

Transcendent Nine-Star Four-Star Arena No. 1.

Three hours before the battle even began, the place was already packed to overflowing.

Moreover, real-time broadcasts were opened in over a thousand areas.

In many places, a large number of transcendent beings were watching this decisive battle.

Far too many people were paying attention to this fight.

The battle between Gune and Shepherd Goat had spread rapidly over the past few days.

Becoming a highly discussed topic.

Gune, possessing powerful nine-star peak seven-star combat power, a tough character.

He even declared that he feared no challenge from any nine-star powerhouse in the Divine Kingdom, killing any who came, with extremely arrogant momentum.

And that transcendent being called Shepherd Goat had also had much information dug up about him.

Son of a god, a super powerhouse who had cultivated in seclusion for over nine hundred years.

He had even once slain a divine envoy, with unfathomable strength.

Both were terrifying seven-star combat powers.

Such a duel was rare even in the history of the Divine Kingdom Arena.

Therefore, far too many people wanted to watch, and tickets were hard to come by.

It was said that the original ticket price of 100 Holy Source Coins had been scalped to three hundred, even five hundred.

...

Inside the preparation passage.

Gune and Duolansi flew side by side.

"Lucky I bought tickets in advance; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get one now," Duolansi said with a smile.

"If you win this battle, the victory reward itself isn't small, right?"

"Not much, about a million," Gune shrugged.

"Tsk... a million is already quite a lot."

"Hmm?" Gune suddenly sensed something.

Then Gune looked to one side.

What came into view was a strange alien creature with a goat head, two antelope horns on its forehead, gray-white beard, standing like a goat spirit, flying in from behind.

This guy was Gune's opponent this time, "Shepherd Goat."

Shepherd Goat's eyes narrowed as they swept over Gune, and deep within those eyes, strange beings seemed to surge.

Then, led by three demigods, he flew straight past Gune toward the preparation hall ahead.

And Gune, with stars swirling deep in his eyes, withdrew his gaze from Shepherd Goat.

"His aura is terrifyingly thick, and the perfect interweaving of light and dark principles is in an astonishingly delicate balance."

"And there's also a feeling that makes one's heart palpitate."

"Overall, a very fearsome guy," Gune thought to himself.

"Alright, go to the spectator stands, or you won't be able to get in soon."

"Mm, I'll go then. Be careful."

"Don't worry, those guys won't dare pull any tricks on me in secret."

Gune could feel that ever since he entered the Blood Divine Kingdom Arena, mysterious gazes had been fixed on him.

These gazes were both surveillance and protection.
