For Su Ye, what he needed to do was not a brave charge, but to be steady.
Steady development was the best situation for Su Ye. There was no need to take risks. Since the Flesh and Blood City was dangerous now, he simply wouldn't go.
Wouldn't it be the same if he went later when he could easily handle it?
Was it necessary to rush in recklessly now? There was no need for that. With steady development, Su Ye could crush everything. Why take risks and gamble?
As time passed.
While Su Ye was strolling, the Valkyrie Legion, riding their Dragon-Scaled Pegasuses, returned one by one.
Su Ye looked at their leader, Olides, who was at the peak of bronze nine-star. Even the Valkyrie Legion under her command had all reached bronze nine-star.
They returned, each carrying spoils of war and treasure chests tied with ropes.
"God King!!" Olides glanced at Lilith and said to Su Ye.
As expected, Lilith was the first to promote to the peak of bronze nine-star.
"Mhm, not bad. You and your legion are the first to have everyone promote to bronze nine-star. How did you do it?" Su Ye asked curiously.
"We swept through, destroying city after city," Olides replied directly and concisely.
Su Ye:...
Indeed, in terms of teamwork, the Valkyrie Legion under his command was number one. As for the others, whether it was the Original Sin Fallen Angel or the Pure-blood Fallen Angel, they couldn't compare to the Valkyrie Legion.
A troop type noted by the system as being adept at legion warfare was no simple matter.
Looking at their entire legion, the fact that they were the first to all reach the peak of bronze nine-star showed that their teamwork was far superior to the other legions.
Lilith's face darkened. Seeing that the other Original Sin Fallen Angels still hadn't reached the peak of bronze nine-star made her feel quite displeased.
"Too lax," Lilith said with a hint of annoyance in her heart as she looked at Olides and her Valkyrie Legion, taking a deep breath.
In Lilith's view, the Original Sin Fallen Angel Legion was the first one Su Ye recruited, so they should naturally be the first to all reach the peak of bronze nine-star.
Su Ye smiled and said nothing as he looked at Lilith's darkened face.
Healthy competition within the territory was always allowed by Su Ye. Competition was fine, but infighting was not. Such competition kept the troops in the territory vital.
After all, the starting point of Su Ye's troops was too high—absurdly high. This led to most of the troops being very lax. Now, with the existence of the Valkyrie Legion...
It was just the right time to pressure them to compete.
Take the Original Sin Fallen Angels, for example. Lilith was the first to promote to bronze nine-star, but so far, not a single other Original Sin Fallen Angel had promoted to bronze nine-star.
Was it only because of the Original Sin Fallen Angels under her?
Of course, there was also the reason of Lilith, the commander. However, Su Ye had no intention of blaming Lilith. Blaming her was meaningless; Lilith had to understand it for herself.
"Lord God Emperor, since Olides and the others have arrived, I should also go and reorganize the troops under my command. They are far too lax," Lilith said to Su Ye.
"Go ahead," Su Ye said with a smile.
Lilith nodded expressionlessly. Black-purple wings unfolded behind her, and she turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.
Olides had the Valkyrie Legion stand guard around Su Ye. They were already at bronze nine-star, and because of Su Ye's level...
It was impossible to level up further.
Unless Su Ye reached the Bronze Rank, they wouldn't be able to increase their level.
Su Ye looked at the treasure chests piled up in front of him. He wasn't in a hurry to open them now and would wait until he returned to the territory.
As time passed.
The second group to fully promote to bronze nine-star was the Gene Forbidden Army.
Su Ye wasn't surprised by this either. After all, the primary responsibility of the Gene Forbidden Army was to protect Su Ye, and they did have the "Forbidden Army" suffix in their name.
They might not compare to the Valkyries in legion warfare, but they were not lacking in teamwork.
It wasn't strange for them to be the second to fully promote to bronze nine-star.
If the Gene Forbidden Army was the second legion to fully promote, then the third one surprised Su Ye a bit.
Su Ye thought the third would be Kaisha's Holy Legion, but to his surprise, it was Delmis's Final Moon Legion.
However, looking at the solitary Delmis and her Final Moon Legion, which were filled with the aura of destruction and slaughter, Su Ye understood.
There was only one reason Delmis and her legion could be the third to fully reach bronze nine-star: destruction!
The total destruction of every living being they saw.
As time passed.
Until night fell and the last Ancient Black Gold Dragon promoted to the peak of bronze nine-star, all of Su Ye's current troops had reached bronze nine-star.
Su Ye stepped through the rift gate and returned to his territory, though the massive rift gate still stood within his territory.
It had a duration of twelve hours and wouldn't disappear until tomorrow.
However, for the safety of his territory, Su Ye didn't want anything coming through this rift gate into his territory in the middle of the night.
"Olides, I'll leave this place to you and your legion," Su Ye said to Olides.
"Yes, God King!" There was no reluctance on Olides's valiant face.
"Just wait until it disappears," Su Ye added.
Then he looked at the treasure chests gathered by his troops.
Among them was a Silver treasure chest brought back by Pangilia.
Su Ye counted them: a total of 178 black iron treasure chests, 45 Bronze treasure chests, and one Silver treasure chest.
Don't think it's too few. In fact, in the entire Black Iron Dimension, Su Ye's troops had only explored a few large cities in the surrounding area. As for other places, they were still unexplored.
This also illustrated the problem other lords would face: the inability to fully explore an entire dimensional world, or rather, a lack of time.
The rift gate had a time limit of only twelve hours. After these twelve hours, the rift gate would close.
The next time the rift gate opened, the chances of it opening to the same world were about the same as winning the lottery—unless you're related to the manager, you know?
So, every lord exploring a dimensional world would encounter a problem: the issue of time.
Solving this problem was also simple: either have sufficient troops to conduct a direct purge, or have other means to extend the rift gate's duration, or like Su Ye, have a dimensional gate to directly anchor the dimensional world to continue exploring it.
Otherwise, it was difficult to encounter the same dimensional world. The authority over dimensional rifts was random, opening a corresponding rift gate based on the level of the lords heart.
