Chapter 164: Fifty years, gone in the blink of an eye (Subscription required)
Time passes quickly in the relatively stable development.

In the seventh year of Ye San's rule, after thoroughly studying the seal, the Eternal Night Empire opened the space door under the Moshi Kingdom. The world behind the door was indeed as Su Xingyu had guessed.

It was a world big enough to accommodate demigods.

Well...it’s called a world, but a more accurate term would be a demiplane.

According to the division of void planes, planes can be divided into plane fragments, half planes, small planes, medium planes, large planes from small to large...

Before this, Su Xingyu believed that as this plane was promoted to the intermediate realm, the world behind the teleportation gate should also remain in the primary realm.

Unexpectedly, this demiplane was actually a subsidiary plane of this plane and was promoted along with it.

Although the upper limit of the demiplane's capacity is demigods, there are no demigod creatures in it, and the strongest existence has only reached the ninth level.

This is not surprising. Just because the upper limit of the capacity is demigods, it does not mean that there must be demigod creatures.

Just like the upper limit of this plane's capacity is true Gods, but in reality, even demigods are very rare, and most of them were promoted only recently.

It was a rather wild world of ferocious beasts.

Inside, ferocious beasts are rampant and monsters are everywhere. There are countless seventh-level ferocious beasts, quite a few eighth-level ferocious beasts, and even several ninth-level beast kings in the holy realm.

In the past, even the Eternal Night Empire would have had to use all its strength to deal with such a huge, high-level beast.

However, after so many years of development, the number of high-level strongmen in the Eternal Night Empire has also seen a blowout growth. In the human race alone, there are now more than 2,000 seventh-level epic-level strongmen.

If the monster-affiliated tribes were included, the number could be increased by several hundred.

In addition, in addition to quantity, the quality of the strong is also getting better and better. There are constantly strong people being promoted to the eighth level, and even... some are promoted to the ninth level.

So although this demiplane is powerful, it is not powerful enough to cause the empire to panic.

Ye San even regarded this demiplane as a training ground, and sent Nidhogg, who had reached the eighth-level legendary realm, and a large army of dragonmen into the world of ferocious beasts to give them some good training.

What Ye San didn't expect was that Harper from the Dog Demon Tribe also wanted to go in for the trial.

Ye San had no objection to this. After discussing it with the Council of Elders, he quickly agreed to Harper's request.

Therefore, the eighth-level Harper and the Dog Demon Legion were also sent in.

Ye San was not worried about their safety. Even though the Black Dragon and the Dog Demon Leader were only level eight, they were not normal creatures and could not be treated with common sense.

Nidhogg has the blood of the ancient black dragon. After being promoted to the eighth level, he has grown up thoroughly. His various methods are very powerful. It may be a little difficult for him to attack the ninth level, but if he just resists, there will be absolutely no problem.

As for the dog demon leader Harper, he had experienced deep corruption and the baptism of the energy of creation. His bloodline returned to his ancestral form and he was transformed into a purgatory dog ​​demon.

The Hellhounds are a top dark race that lives at the bottom of the abyss. They possess extremely strong bodies and black flames that can burn everything.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a powerful race that can fight against the ancient ferocious beasts.

In terms of combat power alone, Harper is stronger than Nidhogg now.

With these two super monsters providing support, Ye San was not worried at all about anything happening to the two monster armies.

In the thirteenth year of Ye San's reign, the empire's strongest legion, the Eternal Night Paladins, completed the first step in becoming a seventh-tier legion and became the first to become a sixth-tier epic legion.

Why did it take so long for the Eternal Night Paladins to be promoted to the sixth-level epic legion?

Because before that, they made an extremely crazy decision. The entire army held a vote to change the characteristics, and it was eventually passed 100%.

So they destroyed the original characteristics and accommodated two new characteristics that were extremely compatible with darkness.

The current Paladins of Eternal Night have not only transformed all their soldiers into dark creatures, but also possessed two dark characteristics. It is completely fine to call them the Guardians of the Gods.

The sixth-level epic legion is also known as the seventh-level legion reserve.

And the Paladin of Eternal Night is even more special.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, fifty years have passed since Su Xingyu resigned from the position of consul.

Fifty years seems like a long time.

In fact, it is indeed a long time, fifty years, almost two generations.

A generation, viewed as a whole, is already a cycle.

It allows people to go through four stages: birth, growth, marriage, and childbirth.

Two generations are enough to turn a young boy into a white-haired old man. For ordinary people, they have already gone through most of their lives and reached the age of knowing the destiny.

They have experienced everything that a person should experience in his life.

Fifty years is really too long for an individual.

Even though this is a world with extraordinary powers, creatures can often live to the limit of their lifespan under the irrigation of spiritual energy. For them, fifty years is still a long time.

It was so long that most of the first members of the Night Tribe had already died.

There was no way around it. At that time, the Ye tribe did not have much support, and their talent for cultivation was not that good. Even with the supply of resources, they could not go too far on the path to transcendence.

It’s good enough to be alive till now.

For an individual, fifty years is a long time.

Fifty years is a short time for an empire.

How short is it?

The current Archon of the Empire is still Ye San. As a seventh-rank strongman, he has a lifespan of three hundred years. He is in his prime now, and as long as he wants, he can continue to work for more than a hundred years.

As for the original plan of a ten-year rotation?

This is not a problem. The vote is held every ten years, and as long as the consul's performance is not too bad during his term of office, he will not be replaced.

During these fifty years, there were no major wars in the Eternal Night Empire, and it was in a stage of stable development.

In times of stable development, as long as the governors are not useless, it is impossible to produce bad political achievements.

Ye San, who was recognized by Su Xingyu, was obviously not a waste and he had very strong abilities.

During these fifty years, under Ye San's rule, the empire has changed with each passing day. Both the empire headquarters and the affiliated monster tribes have undergone tremendous changes, and the overall national strength has been significantly improved.

The small goal of upgrading all soldiers in the army to the sixth level was achieved as early as the tenth year.

As for the seventh-level legion, the Eternal Night Empire still did not appear.

Difficult, too difficult.

Even the empire's strongest Paladin of Eternal Night is still a little short of becoming a seventh-tier legion.

Su Xingyu's original idea was not wrong. When his physical strength, blood, and spiritual will have accumulated to a certain level, he could indeed forcibly cross the threshold and become a seventh-level warrior.

But the difficulty was beyond imagination. Even after fifty years, there was still no success.

Of course, the seventh-level legion was not born, but many sixth-level epic legions appeared.

……

The capital of the empire.

Evernight City.

After decades of development, the City of Eternal Night was expanded again, and its scale became several times larger than before, becoming the most prosperous city in the empire, without a doubt.

The rebuilt city wall not only used the best materials, but also had special inscriptions engraved on it. A super-large magic circle covered the entire city and drew energy from the spirit stone veins under the city.

Today's city walls are tall and solid. They are no longer the fragile walls that would break at the slightest touch. Even if a high-level warrior comes, they cannot cause any damage to the walls due to the multiple layers of defense.

The buildings in the city are well-arranged, the areas are clearly divided, the streets are spacious and clean, and the shops are prosperous and bustling.

Compared with the past, the architectural styles in the city are now more diverse, with tall and magnificent palaces, grand and exquisite temples, beautiful gardens, and all kinds of buildings, demonstrating the prosperity and prosperity of the empire.

In addition to the expansion of buildings, the transportation, water conservancy and other infrastructure of Evernight City have also been greatly improved. The roads in the city are wide and flat, and the transportation is convenient, which greatly facilitates people's travel. The water conservancy system is perfect, which ensures the normal operation of the city.

The empire did not follow the path of science and technology, but the brilliance of magic enveloped the entire territory of the empire.

When in doubt, magic solves it.

Most problems can be solved by the power of magic. If they cannot be solved, it only means that the power is not strong enough and you need to increase your efforts.

The power of magic not only strengthened the strength of the empire, but was also used for people's livelihood, making life more convenient for the people of the empire.

The current Eternal Night Empire has developed in all aspects and has a true aura of an empire, instead of giving people the impression of a violent barbarian as it did in the past.

In the center of the city, there grows a giant tree that towers into the clouds. Its branches are straight and thick, and its lush leaves cover the sky. It is like a huge stone pillar that connects the sky and the earth, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

Over the past fifty years, the increase in the concentration of spiritual energy in the world has allowed the Spirit Gathering Tree to fully develop. It has now broken through the seventh-level epic realm and become a ninth-level holy realm creature.

The fruits it produces have been improved in both quantity and quality.

It bears fruit every three years.

The output of epic fruits that help the sixth level break through the bottleneck has been increased to thirty pieces.

The normal output of Spirit Gathering Fruits has increased to over a thousand pieces.

As for the effect, it has been improved by about 50%.

It can be said that relying solely on this spirit-gathering tree, as long as there is a suitable clan, a great force can be created every three years.

In addition to the fruit, the Spirit Gathering Tree that has been promoted to the ninth level has one more function, that is, it can finally cultivate offspring.

There is a small chance that the core of the epic fruit can grow another spirit gathering tree.

Although in terms of qualifications, they certainly cannot be compared with the mother tree cultivated by Su Xingyu himself, but due to their characteristics, their growth rate will not be much worse. After all, the effect of gathering spiritual energy cannot be faked.

The consciousness of the ninth-level Spirit Gathering Tree gradually matures, and its mental ability has reached the level of a teenager.

It feels like precociousness.

In addition to this towering tree, Eternal Night City also has many iconic "buildings".

The God-given monument is a hundred meters high and stands in the center of the city square. Every day, countless people go there to gain insights and find their own path of cultivation.

Some people gain insights overnight, directly breaking through the constraints of the extraordinary and becoming high-level powerful people.

There are also people who sit for months without gaining anything, without any improvement at all, and have to leave in disappointment.

The Steps of Will have only a few thousand steps, a distance that an ordinary extraordinary warrior can cross in a few breaths. But now, under the suppression of that mysterious force, even a seventh-level strongman has to take one step at a time. Whether he can reach the top depends entirely on his willpower.

Every day, legionnaires come here to challenge themselves, climb this mysterious hill, and try to reach the top, but only a few succeed.

After all, [Transcendence of Will] tests willpower and has little to do with strength.

An ordinary warrior's willpower may not be worse than that of an extraordinary warrior.

There are no shortcuts to willpower.

Just like these steps, if you want to improve your willpower, you can only move forward step by step and hone it slowly.

The clearly-defined steps allow all members who take up the challenge to intuitively feel their own improvement and the strengthening of their willpower.

This feeling is very good, like a guiding light in the darkness, preventing them from losing their way in the boring practice.

Hard work pays off, and the rewards are immediate.

This visible improvement has filled many soldiers with motivation. They are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but they are only afraid that they will give everything but get nothing in return, and thus fail to live up to the empire's training.

Although [Heavenly Monument] and [Transcendence of Will] are both very popular, the most lively place is still the [Bloody Arena] located in a remote place.

This is the favorite place for all the citizens of the empire.

【Bloody Arena】

Category: Man-Made Wonders

Rating: ★★★★★

Effect ① Trial: Put a trace of the participant's spirit into the fighting space, and fight with 99% authenticity, which can accumulate combat experience

Effect ② Deathmatch: Invest a certain amount of players to fight each other in the most realistic way until the final winner emerges (100/1000/10000)

Effect ③ Martial Arts: The city where the city is located advocates martial arts, and the people are warlike, making them suitable as a source of soldiers. The difficulty of recruiting soldiers is reduced by 50%.
Effect ④ King of the Gladiators: A gladiator who wins 100 consecutive games here will receive the blessing of the God of War.

Here, gladiators fight for life and death every day, and from time to time you can see the empire's elite legions fighting in the shadow space.

This kind of violent and bloody scene is very popular among the people of the empire. After all, they are violent elements themselves.

As for where the gladiators came from?

Some of them are citizens of the empire headquarters, and some are warriors from affiliated tribes.

But there were more prisoners.

When expanding its territory, the empire conquered too many forces. Under the iron hoof of the Eternal Night Army, some forces chose to surrender, while others chose to resist.

Those who surrendered abandoned their original beliefs and converted to the King of Eternal Night.

The rebels broke up the power structure, and ordinary people were dispersed according to the situation. The extraordinary warriors were thrown into the arena, became gladiators, and fought with other gladiators.

If he can win a hundred games in a row and become the king of gladiatorial combat, the empire will grant him freedom and let him leave.

Of course they have another choice, which is to become a noble of the empire and serve the empire.
