Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 302: Supreme Overlord of Pale Moon

In this world, those capable of glimpsing into or controlling time were exceedingly rare. Temporal abilities ranked among the rarest of all power attributes. Anyone who possessed time powers and could easily foresee the future or trace the past must have been at least of Level 6 or higher, and the number of individuals meeting this criterion was very few.

Zhang Nu didn't even need to guess to know who was probing his timeline---it had to be the Prophet of Doom, Primo, a figure within the top ranks of the Hero Leaderboard. It was interesting that Primo could effortlessly discern the future. This mastery over temporal magic was something Zhang Nu might not have been able to handle as deftly, demonstrating that this prophet was indeed not unworthy of his reputation.

With such abilities, Primo could essentially make himself invincible. No matter the opponent or how formidable they might be, he could foresee their actions and prepare accordingly. At the very least, he could avoid risks and ensure that he never found himself in a hopeless situation.

However, what Primo couldn't have anticipated was that while Zhang Nu wasn't as practiced with sensory time abilities, he had already directly mastered the laws of time, and now, fused with the Void Seed, had activated the Void Dominator talent.

In terms of proficiency with time abilities, Zhang Nu could be considered far superior to Primo. This was precisely why Primo's attempt to spy on Zhang Nu's actions was instantly sensed by him.

"Trying to prophesize me? Haha, how ridiculous!"

The future can be predicted, but fate is unpredictable. Zhang Nu could completely disrupt the timeline, intentionally creating false visions of the future to mislead Primo and lead him to erroneous conclusions, thereby confusing him and making his cunning backfire.

To avoid any slip-ups, Zhang Nu hid most of his dragon legion deep within his Abyssal Divine Realm. After activating the Void Overlord, his Abyssal Realm was no longer just a static subspace. With various orders and laws integrated, this space had become an independent world.

In other words, the domain realm created by Zhang Nu was essentially a small world he had crafted. This world existed in parallel to the current world, completely independent, without any interference, and its laws were entirely under Zhang Nu's control. This meant that the time and space within the domain were not connected to the main world's time and space. If Zhang Nu stationed all his powerful forces in the domain space, they would effectively disappear from the time-space axis of this world and become undetectable.

Under these circumstances, Primo would struggle to accurately predict their status. Furthermore, Zhang Nu could also use other methods to create more illusions in the future Primo saw, thereby leveraging Primo's abilities to create opportunities for the Chaos Federation to strike at the empire.

At that moment, Zhang Nu received a notification:

[You've conquered the Pale Moon Kingdom!]

[You've gained the Pale Moon Kingdom Treasure Chest!]

Han Kexin had completed her control over the Pale Moon Peninsula much faster than expected. It is important to note that the Pale Moon Peninsula, with a population of fifty million, is not a small place. Although the Chaos Federation absolutely overpowered the Kingdom of Pale Moon in terms of strength, conquering such a vast region typically wouldn't be achieved overnight.

The reason for such rapid success, apart from Han Kexin's extraordinary tactics, was the direct involvement of Shui Lan. Shui Lan is one of the most influential figures in the Chaos Seas, and her call to re-establish order naturally rallied various tribes and factions to respond.

Well done indeed. The Pale Moon Peninsula would serve as a crucial hub connecting the Chaos Woods and the Sea of Chaos, and would also be one of the most important ports and trade centers in the northern Sea of Chaos. By controlling this region, the Chaos Forest could generate significant military and economic value.

Furthermore, as an independent region and nation, the Demon King could obtain a special regional conquest treasure chest upon successful conquest, similar to the situation when conquering the Chaos Woods. Not to mention that the level of the Pale Moon Kingdom was far higher than that of the Chaos Forest.

Zhang Nu did not hesitate and immediately opened the treasure chest.

[You've opened the "Pale Moon Kingdom Treasure Chest"!]

[You've activated the title: "Supreme Overlord of Pale Moon"!]

[You've gained "Gold" x1 billion, "Blueprint: Demon King's Mysterious Seascape", "Blueprint: Demon King's Rift Tower" ×1, "Level 5 Special Building Upgrade Scroll" ×3, and "Eleven Elemental Gem" ×50,000 each!]

As expected, the rewards were far more substantial than a regular chest. The reward of 1 billion gold alone was satisfying, let alone the two level 5 special building blueprints and three level 5 special building upgrade scrolls, whose value was incalculable. Moreover, 50,000 of each type of the eleven elemental gems was not a small number. Excluding the value of the title, a conservative estimate put the total rewards at nearly two billion---a staggering figure, and that was the reward for conquering a kingdom.

Zhang Nu then reviewed the newly acquired title:

[Title: Supreme Overlord of Pale Moon] Monarch Level Title.

MP +5000 permanently.

HP +5000 permanently.

When within the boundaries of the Pale Moon Peninsula, further increase in HP and MP by 5000, all stats +25%, recovery speed +100%.

Gains regional teleport ability, usable once every thirty minutes.

Under your rule, the resources of the Pale Moon Peninsula +20%, all stats of the citizens +10%, loyalty of the citizens +10%.

You may appoint a proxy king in the Pale Moon Peninsula area, who receives a stat bonus +25%, HP +5000, aging speed -60%, recovery speed +80%.

Quite impressive. This title level was similar to the one he received as the ruler of the Chaos Woods, so the attribute effects were about the same, but clearly slightly superior. And unlike the Chaos Woods, the Pale Moon Peninsula was a nation. Zhang Nu could establish a king in this area, and the king would receive significant increases in stats, HP, and lifespan the moment they were appointed, which would bring considerable benefits, but they must pledge loyalty to the Demon King.

Zhang Nu was very satisfied with such rewards. After all, during the conquest of the Pale Moon Peninsula, Darkness City hardly exerted any effort. Zhang Nu and the Dragon King of Darkness City's attention was almost entirely focused on the Empire in the north. The entire process of taking over the Pale Moon Peninsula relied mostly on Han Kexin and her followers from Dark City, and to a lesser extent, Shuilan.

For Zhang Nu, capturing the Kingdom of Pale Moon was purely a win by default, but the gains from the process were not insignificant.

Zhang Nu reviewed the two special blueprints. The "Demon King's Mysterious Seascape" was a special blueprint that allowed the summoning of an oceanic area in a designated region, where the lifespan, training speed, and various attributes of sea creatures were significantly enhanced.

In a way, this seascape could serve as an Eternal Tree for sea creatures. Once created, it could greatly enhance the productivity and strength of sea creatures, prolong their lives, and would be a crucial facility for attracting sea races to build maritime strength, creating tremendous economic and military value. As for the "Rift Tower"? As the name suggests, it was another dungeon related to the sea races, from which a multitude of precious materials could be harvested.

The value of the two blueprints was indisputable, and the three Level 5 special building upgrade scrolls were exactly what Darkness City needed for its current phase of construction. Combined with the three obtained from the Void City treasure chest, just these two chests provided six special upgrade scrolls.

Zhang Nu no longer had to worry about which facility to upgrade first; he could now proceed with them one by one. After tallying up the spoils of war, he immediately began the development of his territory.

[Would you like to construct the Level 6 special building "Void Temple"? This construction costs "Blueprint: Void Temple" ×1, Gold x400 million, Space Gems x20,000, Time Gems x20,000!]

Seeing the materials required, Zhang Nu was inwardly astonished. Indeed, the cost of constructing a Level 6 building was substantial. However, given the current state of Darkness City, it was well within its means to afford such expenses. Without much hesitation, Zhang Nu summoned the building.

A palace-like structure, crystalline in appearance, materialized near the Demon King's castle. A wave of temporal and spatial energy instantly enveloped the castle and then spread to cover Darkness City, eventually expanding to engulf the entire Darkness Valley.

This force was invisible to the naked eye and difficult for the ordinary to sense, because it was a pure temporal and spatial energy. When it covered the entire Darkness Valley, subtle changes began to occur within it.

The Void Temple, as a Level 6 special building, possessed several functions, one of which was the Void Barrier. The barrier released by the Void Temple not only provided strong protection but also allowed control over the space within the barrier, causing it to expand or contract. The maximum adjustment was about tenfold.

For example, if an area had a radius of one thousand meters, once enhanced by the Void Barrier, it would instantly gain an additional 900%, with this additional space not originally existing but purely created by the Void Temple.

The city areas of Darkness City remained unchanged, and no alterations occurred nearby, but beyond these areas, vast fertile plains appeared, courtesy of the extra space brought by the Void Barrier. From the outside, the valley appeared normal. As long as the Void Barrier remained active, this space would continue to exist indefinitely."
