Chapter 1128: 'Complete Map of the Supreme Continent'! Conditions for Ascending to Mid-level Empire!

Chapter 1128: The Complete Continent Map of the Supreme Continent! The Requirements for Advancing to a Mid-Level Empire!

For instance, the most common residential structures found within a territory.

If constructed with the full effort of a Mythic Architect, such buildings could be imbued with mythic architectural properties such as "Calm the Mind, Still the Spirit," "Prosperous Offspring," "Health and Longevity," and "Harmonious Family Life."

If the buildings crafted by Mythic Architects are of divine rank, the mythic properties bestowed upon them are further elevated.

For example, the effect of "Prosperous Offspring" becomes—[Residents living within such a dwelling have a chance that their unborn descendants will gain a potential level increase of +1 when conceiving offspring; families possessing children are more likely to encounter fortunate events while traveling; the more offspring a family has, the more frequently such fortunate occurrences will happen.]

[Health and Longevity—life span is increased by 100%, and the inhabitants are rarely affected by illness; even if accidentally infected, they can recover swiftly within a short time.]

The effects of other mythic architectural properties are equally astonishing.

Zhou Zhou briefly scanned through them, and the more he read, the more he realized just how powerful the abilities of Mythic Architects truly were.

No wonder it was a treasure unearthed from the Mythic Box of the Ten Thousand Tribes.

After that, Zhou Zhou didn't linger any longer. He entrusted the development of the statues of the God of Architecture and Industry to Zheng Yuanqi and Zhao Changshou, then returned alone to the Temple of Gods, where he opened the Newbie Empire Box.

Before him, nestled quietly within the novice empire's treasure chest, lay an ancient scroll, its hue a warm, earthy amber.

Zhou Zhou picked it up, and instantly his body erupted in a thunderous surge—then he broke into a wide, radiant smile.

"What day is this?"

"Such a treasure... they've actually given me this?"

[Item Name: Complete Continent Map of the Supreme Realm]

[Item Rank: Special]

[Item Effect: This is a map detailing the territorial distribution of all lordly factions across the Supreme Continent. It shows the boundaries of each faction, fundamental information about their power structures, terrain layouts, locations of natural disasters and forbidden zones, as well as cultural and civilizational traits. Though simplified, it remains a rare and invaluable resource. Moreover, it dynamically updates in real time the territorial shifts of lordly and racial factions across the continent, allowing any bearer to stay fully informed of the latest developments in the land's political and territorial landscape.]

[Item Description: A precious map of the entire Supreme Continent, illustrating the foundational distribution of lordly factions and basic geographical features. An indispensable artifact for any faction seeking to conquer and expand across the realm.]

"With this Complete Continent Map of the Supreme Realm—"

"From now on, choosing targets for war will be so much easier."

"The Tian Tu Army under Wu Tu won't have to undertake those laborious yet largely useless tasks of mapping terrain anymore."

"They can now focus entirely on deeper, more comprehensive intelligence gathering."

Zhou Zhou looked at the map in his hands, his heart filled with satisfaction.

Without hesitation, he immediately transmitted the map into Wenya's database, where it would be forwarded to numerous generals of the Jiaoyang Kingdom—including Wu Tu.

He didn't pause to consider the generals' reactions, but continued browsing through the remaining rewards.

After the Newbie Empire Chest came the announcement rewards: 1,000 points of Legendary Rank and 10 points of Mythic Rank.

Zhou Zhou ignored the Legendary Rank entirely, his eyes falling upon the 10 points of Mythic Rank.

His eyes sparkled.

Ten points of Mythic Rank!

Plus the three mythical points previously awarded, that brings a total of thirteen mythical points!

Signifying thirteen mythical-point talents—like Guo Qiao, Chi Xuan Tian, Yuan Chong, and Ying Ning—who will arrive at His domain tomorrow!

Combined with the achievements of Supreme Conquest.

Zhou Zhou's lips curled slightly upward.

It seems another wave of talents will be coming to His domain tomorrow.

He imagined the scene for a moment, then dismissed the thought and turned to the announcement below.

With the upgrade of the Advanced Kingdom channel to a Primary Empire channel, the sudden surge of 1 million million channel slots now offers an unprecedented boon for the current citizens of the Primary Jiaoyang Empire.

A capacity of one million million will easily accommodate all current Jiaoyang Kingdom citizens, and there will be no immediate risk of channel overflow.

Yet the upgrade of the 'Subordinate Kingdom' function to 'Subordinate Nation' function holds the greatest significance for Zhou Zhou.

Previously, He could only absorb fifty Primary Kingdoms and ten Intermediate Kingdoms as subordinate territories.

Now these quotas have suddenly exploded by dozens of times, reaching 1,000 junior kingdoms, 500 mid-level kingdoms, and 100 advanced kingdoms!

A junior empire cannot possibly be compared to an advanced kingdom.

The gap is too vast!

After a moment of reflection, Zhou Zhou gazed at the quotas for vassal states, his mind stirring with contemplation.

"With so many vassal kingdom slots available, I could seize this opportunity to bring every lord of the Blue Star under my command, transforming them into true subjects belonging to me."

"I could also allocate some of these slots to the alien races."

"Recently, numerous alien factions have approached Zheng Yuanqi, seeking entry into the Prairial Kingdom. It would be perfect to use these vassal kingdom slots—leveraging my innate talent as a Lord of Prosperity—to genuinely win over key alien groups who wish to submit."

He murmured to himself.

Still, if one thinks this through, these vassal kingdom slots are still far too few.

They are utterly insufficient to distribute among the various alien factions seeking allegiance.

To make more alien factions surrender without a fight and directly join the banner of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, he would still need a greater quota for subordinate kingdoms.

Of course.

If these alien factions were situated close to the territory of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, Zhou Zhou would not even require subordinate kingdom quotas; he could simply lead his troops forward to conquer them, a method both convenient and effective.

Yet, unfortunately, these alien forces were all located very far from the boundaries of the Scorching Sun Kingdom.

Even when traveling aboard the Galaxy, it would still take a considerable amount of time just to reach their domains.

Zhou Zhou harbored little interest in expending vast amounts of effort to control alien territories that were too remote, for after all, his reach would fall short.

At a time like this, a larger quota for subordinate kingdoms would prove highly useful.

With this thought, he immediately clicked open the empire information to check the requirements for upgrading a Beginner Empire into a Mid-Tier Empire faction.

If it were a Mid-Tier Empire faction, there would undoubtedly be a greater quota for subordinate kingdoms!

[Kingdom Name: Scorching Sun Empire]

King: The Blazing Sun Emperor

Empire Level: Primary Empire

Empire Flag: Myriad Stars Encircling the Sun

Empire Legions: Blazing Sun Legion (High God-Tier), Monster Legion (High God-Tier), Dragon God Legion (High God-Tier), Myriad Races Legion (Mid God-Tier), Heavenly Map Legion (Low God-Tier), Homeland Defense Legion (Transcendent-Tier)

Requirements for Promotion to Intermediate Empire: Upgrade territory level to Lower Mid God-Tier, advance the Royal Capital regional level to Mid God-Tier, 1,000 Lower Mid God-Tier Divine Crystals, conquer 3 Primary Scarlet Empires under the Crimson Lord (0/3), conquer 2 non-Scarlet Lord-aligned Primary Empires (0/2), conquer any 1 Intermediate Empire Lord faction and possess its Lower Mid God-Tier Empire Token (0/1), 100,000 independent regional territories, possess 5,000 Racial Heroes, possess 20 Deity Enshrined of one's own race.

As Zhou Zhou finished reading, a brilliant light suddenly flashed through his eyes.

The other conditions were well within his power to fulfill with ease.

Only upgrading the territory to the Lower Mid God-Tier would demand a fraction of his time.

Perhaps, before much longer, he would see his realm ascend to the heights of an Intermediate Empire!
