A few days later.
Outside Paradise Mountain, a Winged man hurried back from the west.
Urgency filled his face as he flew at full speed to the White Stone Fortress on Paradise Mountain and shouted.
"My king! Construction of the Goblin royal capital, Proadas, is complete! Goblin King Amigel has announced that his coronation will be held in one month!"
Inside the White Stone Fortress.
Little Turtle lay on the wooden desk, snoring softly.
Jiang You, who was dealing with the tribe's accumulated affairs, heard the Winged courier shouting outside and immediately rose from his wooden chair.
"Amigel is finally going to be crowned Goblin Emperor!"
"This is one of the iconic scenes marking the start of the second chapter!"
The sense of witnessing history stirred him even more deeply than living through the passing years!
He waited for the Winged messenger to enter the hall and loudly announce the news again.
Jiang You had a personal guard take the messenger to rest, then instructed his Winged assistant.
"Little Inona, go select eight hundred elite Winged People. Along with my personal guards, they'll accompany me to Proadas to congratulate Amigel!"
"Yes, my king!"
At a wooden desk beside and below his own, a Winged girl who had been engrossed in her work nodded in reply.
Naturally, he could not manage such a large Winged tribe alone, so after returning, he had selected dozens of intelligent, reliable Winged People to serve as his administrative aides.
Inona stood out among them, and he had promoted her to be his assistant.
After Inona left.
Jiang You patted Little Turtle's head on the desk and smiled.
"Little Eight, wake up. Let's get ready. We're heading to Proadas."
The sleeping little turtle jolted awake, his bewildered eyes brimming with pure, unclouded stupidity, nothing like the shrewd look he would have in later years.
"Boss, we're going on another long trip? Then let's get going!"
He casually stood upright on his two hind legs, then used all four limbs to climb onto Jiang You's shoulder.
Along the way, he rubbed his bleary eyes.
Jiang You chuckled softly.
"With Amigel crowned emperor, the balance of power in this world will change."
"Let it change all it wants. Your big brother Eight will stand unshaken!"
The little turtle raised his head proudly!
"Who are you calling yourself big brother to?"
"Boss, I was wrong!"
The next day.
A thousand elite Winged People assembled in the skies above Paradise Mountain, including two hundred personal guards and three hundred Transcendent class holders, more than enough to give Amigel an impressive aerial contingent!
At Jiang You's command.
Everyone followed him west toward Proadas!
One month later.
Jiang You arrived at Proadas with his Winged troops.
On the Proadas Plain, a magnificent city had now been built atop the mountain that shared its name.
Its walls had inherited the Titan Giants' towering fortifications and stood a full five hundred meters high, but the buildings inside had been rebuilt as homes suited to Goblins and the continent's other races. Their orderly layout closely resembled the great ancient cities of his previous life.
The Goblins had no architects capable of this, giving Jiang You even more reason to believe it was the work of the humans among them who had emerged from the Sanctuary.
Sure enough, an enormous skull had been embedded in the center of the original city gate. His gaping mouth served as the entrance and exit!
Every intelligent being who passed through the gate could still feel a Demigod's imposing presence and a faint tremor of dread!
It seemed Goblin King Amigel truly never went back on his word. He had said he would turn Thunder Titan Yateli's head into a city gate, and he had done exactly that!
At the sight, the continent's myriad races not only marveled at the Goblins' prosperity but also recognized their formidable strength once more. They lowered their proud heads and bowed in submission!
There was no shame in this. When the Titans had been powerful, the Goblins had bowed in submission too, with even greater deference!
Meanwhile, part of Proadas's summit had been leveled, leaving a vast stretch of flat land!
An exquisite palace combining steam-powered design with the style of the Human Race from the previous era had been built upon it!
Its splendor made people marvel that it hardly seemed a creation of the mortal world. Even Jiang You felt that his own White Stone Fortress was rather plain in comparison.
Before the palace lay an expansive square, where a stone statue of Goblin King Amigel stood.
It depicted Amigel standing with his hands behind his back, gazing out over the mountains, rivers, and all the world.
At the sight, even Jiang You could not help exclaiming what a show-off he was!
Jiang You and the other Winged People landed outside the city gate. A Goblin official hurried over to guide them into Proadas.
The Goblin official then led them straight into a tall building shaped like a pair of outstretched wings.
"Your Highness, King of the Winged People, this is the residence our people have prepared especially for yours. From this day forward, this place belongs exclusively to the Winged People!"
Before you continue
