Unifying the Sky Island

Brook could not move the massive Golden Bell Tower either, so he had no choice but to return to the golden palace in Upper Yard.

"Captain Brook, these Island Clouds are incredibly light, buoyant, and tough. Aren't they the perfect material for the Sea Train?"

Fish-Man Tom said excitedly, as if he had already discovered the perfect material!

"Don't get too happy yet. These Island Clouds might not be able to exist in the Blue Sea. You can take some to experiment with."

"Is that so? If they can't persist on the open ocean, then they won't be of much use."

Fish-Man Tom was doused with a bucket of cold water by Brook's words, but he still intended to put them to the test.

Brook only knew that the Iron Cloud, Ball Cloud, and Marsh Cloud produced by Dials could not exist in the Blue Sea; he did not know if naturally formed Island Clouds could survive there.

The Island Clouds here could also be specially processed into Processed Cloud, used to make furniture, serve as building materials, or even be used to construct canals.

Perhaps they could exist in the Blue Sea; this was something Fish-Man Tom would have to verify himself.

"Captain, if these Breath Dials were installed on our pirate ship, it would be perfect. Our ship would be able to cross the Calm Belt!"

Fish-Man Tom found the various functional Dials here to be truly miraculous.

"It's possible. I have a feeling we will fully refit the Yomi on the Sky Island, or build a brand-new warship."

If there really were design blueprints for the Ark Maxim on Birka, Brook would definitely have Tom combine them with the Pluton blueprints to modify or build a new ship!

Crocus carried quite a few Dials back to the Yomi, feeling they would have many uses.

So many God's Soldiers were carrying bags of gold back to the palace; they did not understand what use these foreign powerhouses had for these useless yellow stones, which couldn't even grow green plants, after holding the God hostage!

"Captain Brook, it's huge, such a huge golden pillar!!!"

Shakky and Antonio were both incredibly excited. They saw a massive golden pillar larger than a house, weighing at least several dozen tons, perhaps even hundreds; they couldn't even estimate it anymore.

But they knew they were set for life; they would never have to worry about money again, and they couldn't spend it all even in several lifetimes!

"I know. When I have time, I'll go cut it up with sword qi. By the way, there is also a giant snake. There is still a lot of gold in its belly. Go find it!"

Faced with the excitement of Shakky and the others, Brook appeared very calm. Wealth was, after all, an external possession; strength was the foundation of one's existence.

"Captain, be serious. That's a golden pillar that would make us rich, enough to live without worry for a lifetime!"

Shakky was very dissatisfied with Brook's attitude. She had risked her life to run back and bring him the good news.

"If you don't have the strength, it will just be snatched away by others. Wouldn't that be even more heartbreaking? Better not to have it at all!"

Brook continued to pour cold water on Shakky, causing her to stomp her foot, roll her eyes in annoyance, and run off to find the giant snake Brook had mentioned!

Not long after, Redfield arrived with a few Priests, escorting several dark-skinned Shandians.

"Captain Brook, these are the strongest warrior and the chief of the Shandian tribe. I have captured them."

The Priests behind them looked at the powerful Redfield with admiration. His body was so hard that the Shandian warriors' Reject Dials couldn't even leave a mark, and his agile movements were even more formidable than the God's Mantra.

They all felt that this man was far more powerful than the God!

Brook looked at these two Shandians covered in sword wounds. If he hadn't specifically instructed Redfield not to kill them, both would likely have bled out under Redfield's swift sword.

"Submit. From now on, the Shandian tribe and the Angel Race can coexist on this island. Otherwise, I can only treat you as a source of disaster and exterminate your race completely!"

This sentence made the pupils of the two Shandians shrink in terror.

"You may ring the Golden Bell to fulfill your ancestors' promise. I hope you consider carefully what you say next!"

Brook only wanted to build a stable territory. If they didn't submit, he would have to eliminate the root cause. If they submitted, they could provide a steady stream of powerful warriors for him in the future!

"As long as we are allowed to ring the Golden Bell, we are willing to submit!"

For the past few hundred years, the Angel Race didn't even know of the Golden Bell's existence, always thinking the Shandians wanted to reclaim the land, while the Shandians always thought the Angel Race had usurped the Golden Bell, and of course the land, which was why the two tribes had been at war for so long.

"Very good. From now on, you are all my subordinates. Also, the titles 'God's Kingdom' and 'God' are too pretentious. Change them to 'Sky Kingdom' and 'King' from now on! Upper Yard shall also be renamed back to the Golden City, Shandora!"

Brook said this to Gan Fumo, and they could only silently agree.

"From now on, the Angel Race chief Gan Fumo will be the Minister of Civil Affairs, responsible for managing all affairs of the Sky Kingdom. The Shandian chief Wadica will be the Minister of Military Affairs, responsible for defending against foreign invaders and organizing patrols!"

The two bowed their heads to accept the order. They exchanged a glance—could the centuries-old feud between the two tribes really coexist peacefully under this new King?

Subsequently, Brook led the key members of both tribes and his own crew to the massive Golden Bell Tower of Shandora and rang the Golden Bell.

The sound of the bell seemed to cleanse people's souls, as if the hatred between the two tribes had been redeemed, and they felt much more favorably toward one another.

Brook had the God's Soldiers move all the gold there. Afterward, Brook, Fish-Man Tom, and Redfield worked together to straighten the Golden Bell Tower and build another golden palace there to serve as the imperial palace!

The giant golden pillar was also used by Brook and Redfield for sword practice, cut into pieces and moved to Shandora.

While Gan Fumo searched for news of Birka and Redfield went to find the giant snake, the Sky Lord, Brook had already arranged for Moore Thomas to begin transporting the lair of the Seagull News Birds to the Sky Island.

He arranged for many Express Shrimp to pick them up, and later, the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency was also brought up and settled on Shandora.

The Moore Thomas family also came up. The environment on the Sky Island caused them some discomfort due to the thin air for a while, but they were soon shocked by the existence of the golden palace along with the news agency staff.

The Golden City atop the Shandora vines, which was also Brook's imperial palace, was the true golden palace.

The one below, which Brook called the Golden Reception Hall, still left the news agency staff feeling incredibly stunned! From now on, they would work at the news agency headquarters next to this Golden Reception Hall.

This was simply a divine level of enjoyment; how happy it would be to rest one's eyes during work!

The Seagull Nest was also placed in the forest below to live and multiply!
