A continent-level strategic weapon, the Heaven-Deriving Orbital Cannon

The next moment

Blazing Pillar, emanating from the Mortal Domain, pierced straight into the deep sea, precisely striking the "Heavenly Dao Strange" hidden there.

Eight thousand meters Seabed.

This is a height that is difficult for humans to reach.

At least.

With the current capabilities of the Mortal Domain, it's not possible to send someone to such a depth in the Seabed. The "Submersible Ship" can only dive to a maximum depth of Thousand Meters. However, the fact that no one goes down doesn't affect the Sky-Piercing Pillar.

A few breaths later.

"Boom!!!"

Towering waves surged, and the entire Coast sky erupted with intense light.

Chen Fan stood calmly on the shore watching this scene. The Heavenly Dao Cannon... truly is a highly iconic product of the Second-Level Continent, possessing immense destructive power. Apart from its high price, it has no other drawbacks.

He felt it was too expensive to use.

It would be even more expensive to use on other continents.

Only.

If the Level-20 Heavenly Dao Cannon is already this terrifyingly powerful, what will its power be like when the Eternal Night Continent advances to the Third-Level Continent and the level Level-30 Heavenly Dao Cannon is broken?

This Sky-Piercing Pillar contains the power of a Level-20 Heavenly Dao Cannon.

The Sky-Piercing Pillar is primarily responsible for providing propulsion; its damage source depends on the Heavenly Dao Cannon.

As well as.

The Level-20 Max-Level Effect of the Heavenly Dao Cannon is:

"Nine-Nine Returns to One, Heaven and Earth Mourn."

The effect is extremely simple.

"Once the continent advances to the Third-Level Continent, the ninety-nine level Level-20 Heavenly Dao Cannon can be combined to form a Red Grade 'continent-level' strategic weapon, the 'Heaven-Deriving Orbital Cannon.'"

"Ps: Purple Grade Defensive Structure represent the highest grade on the continent."

"Red Grade are 'continental-class' strategic weapons."

"The cost is enormous; under full power, it can easily destroy a weakly defended continent."

Continental-class strategic weapon, the Heaven-Deriving Orbital Cannon.

When he advanced to the Third-Level Continent and went to the "War Mire", all the enemies he faced were these kinds of enemies, with the Heavenly Dao Cannon firing wildly and the Heaven-Deriving Orbital Cannon firing every now and then.

Who could withstand that?

Too weak, still too weak.

Standing on the shore, Chen Fan gazed at the scene before him and murmured to himself.

"Long Live," the newly Strategist Pavilion Master, who came with Chen Fan, felt his long-dormant heart pounding wildly after witnessing this scene, as if the passion of youth had been rekindled.

He did not witness the battle on the Feng Qiya Continent firsthand.

This was the first time he had witnessed the power of the "Nuclear-Warhead Sky-Piercing Pillar" firsthand.

He felt a sense of excitement at witnessing the power of the Mortal Domain firsthand.

He instinctively looked towards the Domain Lord.

The Domain Lord must be very excited right now, excited that the Mortal Domain has become so powerful.

Soon.

He then saw the Domain Lord muttering, "Too weak, still too weak."

The excitement on his face gradually faded, his lips twitched slightly, and he remained silent.

Before joining the Mortal Domain, there were many rumors about the Domain Lord among the people. The biggest rumor was that the Domain Lord suffered from persecution complex, lacked a sense of security, and always felt that he was too weak.

Now it seems...

This rumor isn't entirely unfounded.

You're already this strong, Domain Lord, do you still feel you're too weak?

Chen Fan took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming serious. After advancing to the Third-Level Continent, he would definitely not go to the "War Mire" immediately. He would only go to the War Mire after consuming as much of what he had gained from the advancement to the Third-Level Continent.

It's definitely impossible to consume them all.

He could guess that most buildings would need to meet certain conditions in the "War Mire" to continue upgrading beyond level 20.

The "Eternal Night Defense Line" plan needs to be implemented as soon as possible within two years.

The biggest shortfall right now is the lack of enough Monkey-Head Fruit. "Hope Island" is too small to grow so many Monkey-Head Fruits, so they have already started mass cultivation on the "New Continent".

But,

With the basic Dark Technology of "Accelerated Growth," a designated area can be defined, and all plants within that area will grow a hundred times faster. The gap in Monkey-Head Fruit production can be filled very quickly.

"Young Master."

A Crippled Monkey strode over quickly. "These are seven items dropped by the Heavenly Dao Strange Shop."

Chen Fan looked over.

The persimmons were all translucent, with Flame flowing inside.

Seven "Heavenly Fortune".

"Name of the Exotic Treasure": Heavenly Fortune.

"Exotic Treasure Grade": Purple Grade.

"Exotic Treasure Effect": Consuming this item grants a Heavenly Fortune, which can significantly boost the user's luck at crucial moments. No other Exotic Treasure are dropped.

There is none in the Continent Core.

Not every Heavenly Dao Strange drops into the Continent Core after it dies.

Heavenly Fortune is a unique Exotic Treasure dropped by "Heavenly Dao Strange of Deception".

"Good."

Chen Fan tucked the seven Heavenly Fortune into his robes, glanced at the group of Mortal Domain Member beside him who were looking at him, and chuckled, "You've all worked hard." "Not at all, not at all."

The Logistics Pavilion leader, who had detected this Heavenly Dao Strange, hurriedly waved his hand, somewhat flattered, and said, "It's what we should do." Chen Fan nodded and said nothing more.

They returned to the Mortal Domain once more.

Three days later.

"Rugged Island".

This is located 6,000 kilometers Western Region the New Continent, on the first Rare Island discovered by the Mortal Domain.

Mortal Domain Senior Official were gathered here.

"Pavilion Master the Punishment Pavilion", Crippled Monkey.

Qi Chong, the "Pavilion Master of the Hundred Grains Pavilion, " Big Fish, the Deputy Pavilion Master."

Zhao Shengping, the "Pavilion Master the Artifact Pavilion".

"Heavenly Storehouse Pavilion Master", Wang Kui.

Shao Qiu, the "Pavilion Master the Shadow Pavilion".

A group of old subordinates who had followed Chen Fan since the Jiangbei Rainy Season, as well as some subordinates who joined Mortal Domain later, were all gathered on this Island today.

Ten Flying Boat, loaded with Eerie Stone and equipped with Heavenly Dao Cannon, were on guard in the nearby skies.

Numerous Teleportation Formation were deployed on the Island.

Ensure you can escape quickly in the event of an emergency.

One day,

A certain force launched a Sky-Piercing Pillar towards this place. Chen Fan can survive because of the Jade Seal, but everyone else will be vaporized. Chen Fan is the backbone of the Mortal Domain.

But everyone here is also a core member of the management team and a key middle-level manager of the Mortal Domain.

If this group of people is cleared out...

Its impact on the Mortal Domain is immense.

Many projects would be halted abruptly, and Chen Fan couldn't possibly personally direct a Logistics Pavilion Member on how to work.

Everyone was dressed in black and stood solemnly on the Island's beach.

And here.

Several cemeteries have already been built in advance by the Logistics Pavilion.

The cemetery contains the bodies of Zhang Taiping, as well as several members of the Shadow Pavilion.

There was no host.

No one spoke.

Everyone was simply dressed in black and stood quietly in place.

Chen Fan stood in the first row.

The lame Monkey King, Kui Qi Chong, and others stood in the second row.

Long Live, Eight Hundred, and other newly joined core management members of Mortal Domain stood in the third row.

The Deputy Pavilion Master stood in the fourth row.

The old subordinate stood in the fifth row.

The weather isn't very good today; large patches of dark clouds cover the sky above this Sea Domain, making it look like it could rain at any moment.

After a long silence, Chen Fan stood still and spoke softly.

I don't want to talk too much.

"No matter how much you say at the funeral, the people below won't hear it; only you will."

What I wanted to say was...

"Even if many people die, the Mortal Domain must explore the outside world. We must find out what's in the nearby Sea Domain and what kind of enemies are lurking around us."

"Perhaps one day in the future, all of you here, including myself, will be buried here."

"The people I want to stay."

"Do not grieve, do not be angry, continue to develop the Mortal Domain until we create a world where future generations can see a sky full of stars, free of Strange Entities, and filled only with Peace."

"A long time ago, someone told me that this world is a world of Strange Entities."

"I refuse to accept this."

"I believe this world should be our world, the world of our Mortal Domain."

"One day will come."

"The night will be bright and the sky will be bright."

"On that day, the banner of the Mortal Domain will wave over this world."

"I think this isn't just my goal, Chen Fan's goal; it should be everyone's common goal."

The funeral is over.

There was no Xixi.

Everyone silently gazed at the tombstones standing on the Island's beach; these were the tombstones of people who had given their lives for the Mortal Domain.

They proved their loyalty to the Mortal Domain with their lives.

And the yearning for a bright future.

Seventeen-year-old Eight Hundred stood in the crowd, his expression subtly complex. This was the first time he had truly experienced the culture of the Mortal Domain, a sense of unwavering unity in everyone's shared goals.

No matter who falls on the road.

Those who remain must continue forward without hesitation.

Until they all collapse on the road, or... reach the finish line and achieve victory.

He finally understood what the older generation had been saying.

Death is not scary.

The most terrifying thing is not knowing why you died.

After most people had left.

Chen Fan arrived at Zhang Taiping's tomb, took out a Heavenly Fortune from his pocket, and hesitated in place, looking at the corpse with only two legs in the Grave Pits. The Mortal Domain originally had one Heavenly Fortune, and this time he obtained seven more, for a total of eight.

The Mr. Na told him that if the corpse were given the Heavenly Fortune, there would be a 100% chance of resurrection.

Only.

It doesn't even have a mouth anymore, how can it be swallowed?

After a while.

He tried to crush the Heavenly Fortune in his hand, and the Yellow Grade liquid spilled onto the corpse and quickly seeped in.

He stood there waiting for a long time, but there was no response.

"That Mr. Na."

He called out softly.

"I am here."

The Mr. Na spread his hands helplessly. "I didn't show myself the whole time, how did you know I followed me?"

"What kind of excitement could you possibly miss?"

"That's true."

The Mr. Na nodded in deep agreement. "Being the Heavenly Dao used to be too painful. Not only did I have no physical body, but I couldn't even leave my own continent. Now, being the Heavenly Dao is a bit too comfortable; I can wander around everywhere."

"What's going on here?" Chen Fan pointed to the corpse in the Grave Pits.

"Forehead"

The Mr. Na hesitated for a moment before saying, "I once told you that if we could find Thirty Percent of Zhang Taiping's remains and bury them together with the Purple Exotic Treasure 'Heavenly Fortune' on the Rugged Island, there would be a 100% chance of him being resurrected. This information was just my own guess."

"After all, there's a chance of reviving on the Rugged Island."

"Heavenly Fortune can also greatly improve the user's luck at crucial moments."

"So there should be some kind of collaboration."

"But whether it will actually be effective is uncertain."

Chen Fan glanced at the Heavenly Dao, said nothing, but silently took out the Heaven-Questioning Bell from his robes and asked, "There is a special Island called 'Rugged Island Island,' where corpses buried have a certain probability of being resurrected. If the corpse is buried with the Heavenly Fortune, will the probability of resurrection reach 100%?"

"Won't."

"Heavenly Fortune only applies to the living."

Chen Fan stood there, gazing silently at the golden legs in the Grave Pits, before calmly saying, "Mr. Na, from this moment on, you owe me a Heavenly Fortune and 1 million Eerie Stone."

"Find a way to make it up to me."

"From now on, when you make guesses about something, add the word 'guess' before it. Don't be so certain."

Then he strode away into the distance.

He then beckoned to the Crippled Monkey waiting nearby and began to ask it a question.

"How does the Mortal Domain currently treat the families of its fallen members?"

"The Mortal Domain is responsible for providing for the deceased members, based on their rank. For example, the lowest -Level 1 Member, Level 1, receives full necessities from the Mortal Domain, including food and lodging, a job in one of the Mortal Domain's main managed City, and a monthly pension of 3,000 Ghost Coin until death."

"Slightly higher- Level 2 Member, such as squad leaders and Group Leader in the various Logistics Pavilion, will receive a compensation of 5,000 Ghost Coin." "What tier does Zhang Taiping's family belong to?"

"The second tier: Zhang Taiping is Level 2 Member of the Mortal Domain."

What is the highest tier?

"The highest tier is the Pavilion Master's tier, which provides a monthly pension of 100,000 Ghost Coin."

Chen Fan paused for a moment before saying softly, "Tell the people at the Finance Pavilion to adjust the benefits for Zhang Taiping's family to the highest level. Also, have the Logistics Pavilion come up with a policy."

"Those who Dying in Service meritorious service will receive higher compensation."

"The members of the Shadow Pavilion buried here this time also Dying in Service, so their compensation should be increased."

"Clear."

The Crippled Monkey nodded solemnly and noted it down.

Before leaving.

Chen Fan turned around and took one last look at Zhang Taiping's grave. He knew that as a qualified leader, he couldn't have too much emotion for his fallen Subordinate, as that would affect his decision-making and judgment.

It's fine to put on a show on a regular basis, but it's not good if you get carried away with it.

Not to mention.

He hadn't even known that Zhang Taiping existed in the Mortal Domain before.

But.

Perhaps it was because it was his first time being a leader, but when he saw strangers who were almost complete strangers to him, yet were willing to die because of his ideals, because of the ideals of the Mortal Domain.

I couldn't help but feel a little touched.

He didn't know what the highest form of recognition was for a woman, but he knew that for a man, the highest form of recognition was being willing to die for her.

This is the highest level of recognition.

Recognition also implies responsibility.

The responsibility of the Mortal Domain rests on his shoulders, the responsibility of the Eternal Night Continent rests on his shoulders. His every move determines the lives and fates of countless people. He must be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.

Be careful, be careful, be very careful.

The Mr. Na stood still, his nonchalant expression vanishing, and looked at Chen Fan's retreating figure with a complex expression.

He was well aware of the responsibilities Chen Fan bore.

Clearer.

The pressure Chen Fan faces.

Chen Fan is not a perfect leader and has his own emotional weaknesses, but perhaps it is precisely these weaknesses that make so many people willingly follow Chen Fan.

It started during the Jiangbei Rainy Season.

At that time, there was no monthly allowance in the Mortal Domain, but even after the Rainy Season ended, none of those people left; they all stayed in the Mortal Domain. Perhaps even Chen Fan himself didn't realize it.

Chen Fan hadn't eaten Dumplings in a long time, which meant that no matter how relaxed or at ease Chen Fan appeared, he was always on edge and had never truly let his guard down.

The Mortal Domain has developed to this point over a very long period of time.

There have been almost no internal traitors.

For a power like this, it's nothing short of a miracle.

New Continent.

Large numbers of monkeys are planting "Monkey-Head Fruit" on Level-Ten Farmland. Yes, the task of mass planting Monkey-Head Fruit was not assigned to "Hundred Grains Pavilion", but to "Beast Pavilion".

Weiwei, I've been so busy these past few days.

They travel back and forth between the "New Continent" and the "Provocateur Continent".

But his lantern-sized eyes brimmed with unprecedented excitement.

This is the first time the Beast Pavilion has been given such importance!

"Roar, roar."

Weiwei lay down in front of a Farmland in the New Continent, gathered all the monkeys together, and gave commands in a low growl. This group of monkeys was the same group that was originally found on "Hope Island," and there have been quite a few more baby monkeys in the past few years.

The creaking and groaning sounded extremely noisy.

"Cough."

Just then

A voice suddenly came Weiwei behind. A large Sky-Swallowing Crocodile carrying a Sky-Swallowing Crocodile with a kind face and a slightly bulging belly crawled over.

"Weiwei, your mom's pregnant, so I'd like to ask if I could be transferred back to the Mortal Domain. I want to take her there to rest and give birth." Although they are Weiwei's parents, Weiwei is the Beast Pavilion Master, so such a transfer still needs to be approved by the Pavilion Master.

Weiwei, turned his head and looked at his parents in disbelief, growling in a low voice.

"Well, normally the Sky-Swallowing Crocodile's birth rate isn't this high, but the 'Exotic Beast Breeding House' building is just too useful." "And don't look at me like that. Doesn't the Mortal Domain have policies that encourage not only human reproduction but also the mass breeding of Exotic Beast?" "Especially for Exotic Beast like us with low reproduction rates, there are even rewards."

"It should be the younger sister again this time."

You're going to have two younger sisters now.

"Anyway, you're capable now. Even if I have another child, it shouldn't bankrupt you."

"Roar!"

Weiwei growled again, looking somewhat mournfully at a smaller Sky-Swallowing Crocodile that was pawing at something in the Farmland not far away—his sister.

She was born last year.

He just turned one year old this year and is curious about everything. Most importantly, he has inherited the appetite of the Sky-Swallowing Crocodile and has an enormous appetite.

This resulted in this guy eating almost all of his already meager amount of "Braised Delicacies".

He barely had any food left.

While the Mortal Domain has been developing, the Beast Pavilion has stagnated. For example, its monthly allowance is Braised Delicacies, which hasn't increased in a long time. If it were to have another younger sister, it would be completely unaffordable.

Or.

Go talk to the boss and see if we can give him a raise.

"Alright."

The large, monstrous Sky-Swallowing Crocodile looked at Weiwei with a broad smile, "Then your mother and I will go back to the Mortal Domain to prepare for childbirth, and also have a drink with the boss."

"This is a good life."

"Tsk tsk"

"By the way"

"You'll have to figure that out yourself. We Sky-Swallowing Crocodile are rare Exotic Beast; there are only a handful in the entire Eternal Night Continent. Finding a mate will be difficult for you in the future."

"We're getting old; the future belongs to you young people."

"And about that 'Fallen Firmament' matter, once you've finished with this, keep an eye on it too."

A lot has happened during this period.

But.

The exploration of "Commerce Pavilion" has never stopped.

The Mortal Domain is now a large organization, and everyone has their own division of labor. It's unlikely that everyone would stop what they're doing to serve a major event, as that would not only waste manpower but also increase mobilization costs.

And on this day...

During the Mortal Domain's carpet search of the surrounding Sea Domain.

Another new discovery has been made.

This time, in the Southern Region the "Eternal Night Continent," the Commerce Pavilion's Flying Boat took off from the New Continent, bypassed the Strange Tide near the Eternal Night Continent, and discovered a New Continent located 1829 kilometers Southern Region the Eternal Night Continent.

On the deck of this lonely Flying Boat on the sea.

A flying boat captain, trembling with excitement, stared at the strange leather map in his hands and stammered, "Record the coordinates, not the coordinates of all known continents. To the naked eye, the continents do not appear to be surrounded by continuous mountain ranges."

"It might be an Unclaimed Continent, but we can see quite a few humans active there. Yes."

"Wrong"

"Keep moving closer!"

"Boat Captain, any closer and we might be within range of their Anti-Aircraft Cannon."

"I'm the Boat Captain, you're the Boat Captain? Keep coming closer!"

"Yes!"

The Flying Boat cautiously approached.

This time he saw it clearly.

In the nearest Coastal Area, he saw a large number of people dissecting the corpses of the Strange Entities and collecting Eerie Stone outside the City Wall.

The City Wall was about 30 meters high.

The City Wall is extremely long, stretching for about twenty or thirty kilometers, built along the Coastline. Whether it's even longer is unknown. This is...

The distance is close enough.

The Boat Captain, standing on the deck, could even see the bewilderment in the eyes of the crowd below.

This is a First-Level Continent.

He took a deep breath and quickly reported back, "This is Qian Duoduo, Boat Captain of the Commerce Pavilion. A First-Level Continent has been discovered 1829 kilometers Southern Region of the 'Eternal Night Continent'."

"The mountain range is shattered."

"A Sixth-Level Defense Line has been discovered in the Coastal Area."

The height of Level-6 City Wall is 30 meters.

He then quickly retreated, avoiding any rash contact. His role was solely to explore; how to make contact was a matter for the Mortal Domain Core to consider. "First-Level Continent?"

Chen Fan, who had just come out of the Spirit Pavilion in the Mortal Domain, was drying himself after taking a bath. He was deep in thought, pondering that this was the first Level First-Level Continent he had discovered.

He didn't know how many Second-Level Continent were in this Sea Domain, but last time, nine continents came to congratulate him.

There should definitely be more First-Level Continent than Second-Level Continent.

He had always wondered why he hadn't discovered a single First-Level Continent for so long, but now he finally had.

"There's actually First-Level Continent?"

The Mr. Na seemed even more surprised.

What are you surprised about?

Chen Fan looked at the Mr. Na with a strange expression. "Isn't it normal to have First-Level Continent?"

A little.

The Mr. Na shrugged. "The major powers in this world are divided into two factions: 'races' and 'continents,' which are essentially Strange Entities and others. These are two separate systems."

"For example, although the Skeleton Rat are not human, they can still create the 'Waist-Rat Continent'."

"Even if the Strange Entities conquer a continent, they cannot create a continent, cannot build structures, and have no Jade Seal or anything like that; they will always remain a 'race'."

"For example, the 'Retirement Clan' of the Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, they only stay on the Huyi Continent, but Heaven and Earth will not recognize that continent as theirs. Of course, they can declare to the outside world that it is their continent, and the Heavenly Dao they condense is also the Heavenly Dao of their race. Wherever they go, their Heavenly Dao goes."

"You know the promotion requirements in mainland China."

"The advancement of a race is based on conquering a continent. At least, the condition for advancing from a level 1 race to Level-Two Species is to conquer a continent, without any restrictions on the level of the continent."

"The higher the racial level, the stronger the Strange Entities that can be born within it, and the stronger the Strange Entities that can be generated from the 'Black Abyss'."

"To advance to Level-Three Species, you need to conquer three continents."

"Conquering a level 1 continent is definitely easier than conquering a Level 2 continent."

"And this sea Sea Domain is also home to many Strange Entity Clan."

"Normally, First-Level Continent would have been targeted long ago, like the 'New Continent.' Finding a First-Level Continent is truly not easy."

Chen Fan frowned deeply: "Is it that simple? The Strange Entity Clan only needs to conquer three continents to advance to Third-Level Race?" "Simple?"

The Mr. Na's lips twitched slightly. "The Strange Entity Clan doesn't have Heavenly Dao Cannon or Sky-Piercing Pillar. If the Strange Entity Clan wants to completely conquer a continent, they need to kill every living being on that continent."

There shouldn't be any Level-Three Species in this Sea Domain yet.

"Otherwise, this brief period of Peace wouldn't have been possible."

"Once a Level-Three Species emerges, the current situation will be completely different."

"And there should be other conditions, not just this one."

After a long while.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. "So, with all the commotion I've caused this time, haven't many of the Strange Entity Clan already learned that the Mortal Domain possesses two continents, the 'New Continent' and the 'Provocateur Continent,' which have virtually no defenses?"

"Yes."

The Mr. Na nodded in deep agreement. "And there aren't many people yet, so taking it over wouldn't even take much effort, but..."

"However, the information channels of the Strange Entity Clan are very poor, and they won't receive information in a short time. Not every Strange Entity Clan is like Weird Emperor Jiu Wu, who has daily Daily Report sent from the Mortal Domain."

"Of course, if I found out, I would definitely come over."

"The Level 2 Strange Entity Clan, in particular, who have already occupied two continents, are even more insane."

"Just one step away from victory."

"They're really willing to risk their lives."

"The kind of fight to the death."
