Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 660 concludes, a new era begins.

The surrounding kingdoms suffered roughly the same extent from this war.

Many great cities were captured by blood-soaked armies, and the land was polluted, requiring reconstruction after the war.

Of course, the most serious situation is in the Kingdom of Velen.

The entire kingdom's territory, spanning thousands of kilometers, has been completely destroyed.

Bloodshed and natural disasters have ravaged this place, making it no longer suitable for human habitation.

From the side, War King Kunard said, "Then, everyone, let's head back now."

"Although this battle was difficult, I also gained some insights. I'll go back and digest them, and see if I can improve my strength further."

"If we encounter a crisis like this again, I hope we can all come together again."

Upon hearing this, the legendary dwarf from the Graymist Kingdom quickly waved his hand and said, "Once is enough for this kind of thing!"

"I don't want to experience that kind of terrifying battle again, where I almost lost my life."

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed again.

Queen Youlan, standing beside him, glanced at him indifferently and said, "Don't worry, even if something like this happens again, it won't be your turn."

"With the speed at which this one is getting stronger, we legends will soon not even be worthy of being supporting characters."

Upon hearing this, more than a dozen pairs of eyes turned to Cao Xing.

They were unaware of what Luo said to Cao Xing at the end.

He didn't know that Luo had given him the two most important things he possessed.

A look of amazement appeared in their eyes.

Without this otherworldly lord, they wouldn't have been able to defeat even the Watchers in this great battle.

Not to mention the series of events that followed.

Cao Xing shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not that bad."

"Without everyone's efforts, it would have been impossible to get to this point by relying solely on the strength of my territory."

"I will need everyone's help in the future."

The kings exchanged glances, and smiles appeared on their faces.

The three legendary figures from the Gray Mist Kingdom stepped forward, and the dwarf legendary figure said, "Gentlemen, we'll head back now."

"The old king won't last much longer. Let's go back and see if we can help him live for another year or two."

"If all else fails, we'll just hold a funeral for him."

Everyone turned their attention to that direction again.

Among the crowd, the decaying old man also raised his head. His aura was indeed quite weak, and he was like a candle flickering in the wind, as if he could be extinguished at any moment.

The Ice Crystal King said, "Take Mr. Karen back with you. I hope we can see him again when we visit the Gray Mist Kingdom next time."

The three powerful figures from the Gray Mist Kingdom nodded slightly, then transformed into wisps of smoke and swiftly departed from the area.

Queen Yulan, War King Kunard, and others also took their leave one after another.

On the field, only the lizardman chieftain, the Ice Crystal King, and Cao Xing and others remained.

"Cough cough..."

The lizardman chieftain coughed twice and said, "Lord Cao Xing, I also need to go back and recuperate for a while."

"I'll come back to see you in a month."

"Then we'll discuss the conditions we agreed upon back then."

Cao Xing's expression shifted slightly, then he nodded and said, "Okay."

The Ice Crystal King also reminded him, "Lord Cao Xing, when the world barrier was torn apart this time, some guys took the opportunity to escape."

"During this period, they may lie low in some area and recover their strength."

"I will do my best to send people to investigate, and if these places are found, I will have someone notify you."

Cao Xing's expression turned serious, realizing that the Ice Crystal King was referring to beings like the Nightmare God, Dem.

"I understand, thank you, Your Majesty."

The Ice Crystal King waved his hand, and then left with the Lizardman Chieftain.

Soon, only Cao Xing and his group of legendary experts remained in the area.

At this moment, Cao Xing looked around.

Within a radius of several thousand kilometers, traces of a great battle are everywhere.

The ground was covered with cracks that stretched for thousands of meters, and the air was filled with the lingering stench of blood.

A hint of wistfulness appeared in his eyes.

Then, Cao Xing opened the necromancer bag and released all of his core combat personnel.

"Crash..."

Auras of powerful individuals emerged.

As soon as everyone appeared, they all looked at their lord.

After confirming that he was alright, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since that bloodline leader with only half a head devoured Aetius, Cao Xing had put them into his necromancy bag.

They were unaware of what happened next.

Inside the sack of the dead, they were filled with anxiety, but were powerless to do anything about it.

Now that they have come out and seen the scene before them, they understand the outcome of this great battle.

Cao Xing smiled slightly and said loudly, "Gentlemen, as you can see, we have won again."

"This time, we concentrated the most elite forces in the entire territory and killed a demigod."

"This is the glory that belongs to all of us!"

Upon hearing this, everyone on the field had a reddening eye and felt a surge of passion in their hearts!

There's no need to elaborate on how powerful demigods are.

Previously, such enemies were something they could only dream of but never reach.

But now, they have joined forces to kill him, which is something that has never happened before!
Cao Xing continued, "Next, everyone's strength will continue to improve."

"In the near future, even more legends, and even demigods, will emerge here!"

"As long as we work together, we will defeat all enemies!"

On the field, these strong players clenched their fists and raised their arms in a shout!
"We must win! We must win! We must win!"

The sound was deafening, as if it would overturn the sky!
Cao Xing looked at his brave and skilled subordinates with satisfaction, then waved his hand.

"Now, everyone return to the territory!"

"Huhu——!"

In an instant, the sound of wind-blown wings vibrating rang out.

A group of powerful individuals flew through the air, heading towards the raging snowfield.

However, before leaving, Cao Xing also took the little boy and girl he had protected under the ruins with him.

Soon, the group's figures gradually disappeared into the moonlight.

...

...

On the way back, a message appeared in front of all the survivors.

The tide of blood receded, the stench that had shrouded the world dissipated, and the kingdom's night sky returned to tranquility.

Those guardians of the darkness have completely faded from the stage of history; the blood-soaked legions that ravaged the land have also turned to dust in the torrent of history…

This was a destiny-bound war spanning millennia, a life-or-death decision concerning the very survival of the world. Now, all has settled…

Every surviving lord is a brave warrior who has withstood the test of blood and fire, proving your resilience and strength!

[All survivors unlock achievement: Silver Warrior]

Silver Warrior: Reputation +10000, Territory Population +1000

...

...

Upon seeing this notification, the survivors were stunned for a moment.

Then everything erupted in a frenzy!
"Holy crap! We even unlocked an achievement! Wow, this is the first achievement we've unlocked since we came to this world!"

"Indeed, it seems this world does have an achievement system, but unlocking it is extremely difficult!"

"Haha, this achievement reward is really great! It actually gave me 10,000 reputation points. I only have a little over 2,000 reputation points so far, this is a huge increase of several times!"

"Adding another 1000 people would be good. I've taken in a lot of refugees these past few days, and the territory is almost short of people."

"Silver Warrior, that sounds so cool!"

"..."

Just as everyone was excitedly discussing, system messages continued to appear.

However, though the Blood Legion has fallen, the truth of the world is far from being revealed.

[More powerful and evil beings lurk in the shadows, eyeing you and this world with predatory intent...]

The departure of the Watchers ended the conflicts of an era and ushered in the curtain on another...

In the near future, you surviving lords will be involved in even greater conflicts. You will need to continue to improve yourselves and the strength of your territories.

[Hint: In that ocean perpetually covered in ice, a silent storm of death is brewing...]

...

...

When Cao Xing returned to his territory, it was already past 1 a.m.

Cao Xing didn't check the huge pile of rewards he had received. Instead, he went back to his room, hugged Liu Muxue, and had a good night's sleep.

He was indeed quite tired.

Several months ago, after learning that the Blood Legion was about to descend, he began to make preparations to deal with it.

The appearance of the enemy made him even more nervous, and he tried every means to improve the strength of the members of his territory.

Now, it's completely over.

He can relax now.

The staff throughout the territory also drifted off to sleep.

Seven consecutive days of high-intensity combat had left them exhausted.

The territory fell into complete silence...

...

...

The next day, Cao Xing still did not get up after receiving the system notification.

He slept until noon, a rare occurrence, before slowly opening his eyes.

Liu Muxue had already gotten up and was currently patrolling her territory.

"Time to get up," Cao Xing chuckled. Then, he sat up in bed and stretched.

After putting on his clothes and robes, he went downstairs.

"Crench--!"

He pushed open the gates of the lord's castle.

A ray of sunlight shone on his face, causing him to squint.

"It's actually cleared up." Cao Xing murmured softly, his tone tinged with emotion.

Since the release of the Bloody Chaos expansion, the sky has either been shrouded in blood clouds or shrouded in a gray haze.

It's been a long time since we've seen the sun.

At this moment, sunlight shines on every corner of the territory.

Although, in this extremely cold world, even sunlight has little warmth.

But it still brought long-lost hope and warmth.

Cao Xing walked through the central square and then through the second ring road area of ​​the territory.

We passed by residential areas, workplaces, sewing shops, canteens, and other places...

Along the way, he encountered many busy people.

After several days of recruitment, the population of the entire territory has exceeded eight thousand.

When the staff saw Cao Xing, they all stopped to greet him.

"My lord, may you be well..."

"My lord, may the goddess of hope protect you..."

Cao Xing smiled and nodded in response, his gaze sweeping over everything before him, a sense of peace and contentment washing over him.

The staff in the territory were busy.

The soldiers were conducting combat training in an orderly and disciplined manner.

Trucks loaded with large quantities of ore returned one after another, and wisps of smoke rose from the canteen's chimney...

Everything before my eyes appeared so peaceful and harmonious.

Cao Xing walked to the buffer zone of the territory, pondering what to do next.

"The bloodshed is over now, and there should be a long period of peace."

"Next, we can move on to the next step of the plan: the third round of expansion of the territory, developing it towards becoming a megacity!"

"In addition, a trade system for the territory also needs to be established."

After a pause, Cao Xing continued to ponder, "After the territory is expanded, we need to find a way to recruit more management talent to help me manage the entire city."

"In addition, we need to expand farmland so that the territory can be self-sufficient in food."

"Then there's the commercial system of the giant city..."

It can be said that he still has a lot to do in order to build a giant city.

However, Cao Xing is not in a hurry; he can take it one step at a time.

"Before that, let's take a look at the rewards we received last time."

This time, his haul was terrifying.

Apart from the two things Luo left for himself.

There are also 20 reputation points, 10 Pure Shards, 5400 million battle merits, and a random legendary equipment chest as rewards from the End of Blood expansion.

In addition, there are rewards for the first kill of a demigod: [Dream Library (Legendary)], [Random Demigod Skill Book], and 100 [Divine Power Shards].

And this is just the reward given by the system.

Keep in mind, he killed a demigod and eight legends this time!

A large amount of loot also fell from these powerful individuals.

Thinking of this, he called out softly.

"Sarah."

The moment the voice faded, a beautiful figure appeared beside him.

"My lord, please give your orders."

Sarah bowed slightly.

Now, she is becoming more and more like Cao Xing's shadow.

She is unremarkable in normal times, but whenever there is a battle or when she is needed, this assassin will appear immediately.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Give me everything you got this time."

"Yes."

Sarah stepped forward respectfully and handed her a backpack.

Cao Xing transferred everything inside into his backpack.

[Obtained: Bloodborne Divine Flame *1]

[Received: Legendary Heart *5]

[Obtained: Blood Chieftain's Overlord-level Soul*2]

[Obtained: Blood Chieftain's Commander-level Soul*1]

[Obtained: Blood of the Strong *26]

[Received: Blood Crystal*1075]

……

"Wow, we've acquired so much more!"

"This means there are a few more things to check."

Cao Xing was deeply moved.

There were so many things that he didn't even know where to begin.

He paused for a moment, then thought to himself, "Let's do it one by one."

"Before checking these rewards, let's redeem all the remaining battle merits first."

Cao Xing glanced at his remaining battle merits.

[Battle merits*1.76 million...]

……

"I've actually accumulated nearly 180 million battle merits again. That feels pretty good!"

"With so many battle merits, I can exchange them for a lot of good things!"

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"However, I've already exchanged almost everything that needed to be exchanged in the War Merit Shop."

"The remaining important item is the [Master-level Heart of Power]. There are still 619 left to exchange for, which will cost approximately 1.238 million battle merits."

"Then there are four Master-level Proficiency Emblems, which will cost 1200 million to redeem in total."

"Besides that, there are three types of recruitment scrolls, totaling 1.6, which will cost 3500 million battle merits."

"These add up to 1.71 million battle merits..."

"In other words, after exchanging all of these, I will still have about five million battle merits to squander."

After a moment's thought, Cao Xing made a decision in his heart.

"In that case, let's use all the remaining battle merits to exchange for blood crystals."

"I currently have 6600 Blood Crystals, including the Destroyer Tower I built before."

"That's about enough materials for me to build three Destroyer Towers."

After making his decision, he opened the Battle Merit Shop and then clicked on the [Items] tab.

[Would you like to consume 1.76 million battle merits to exchange for 619 Master-level Hearts of Power and Master-level Proficiency Emblems...?]

"Yes."

[Redeem successful! 】

[Obtained: Master-level Heart of Power *619]

[Received: Master-level Proficiency Emblems *4]

[Received: 1 Corrupted Blood Barbarian Soldier Recruitment Scrolls]

[Received: 3000 Blood Mage Recruitment Scrolls]

[Received: Bloodwing Rider Recruitment Scroll * 1000]

[Received: Blood Crystal*500]

……

After Cao Xing clicked "Confirm," all his battle merits were consumed.

Looking at the hundreds of Hearts of Power, the Proficiency Emblems, and the more than ten thousand Recruitment Scrolls in his backpack.

A satisfied expression appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Great, this will give my territory another boost in strength."

He did not immediately recruit people using these scrolls.

One reason is to retain a sufficient population to prepare for the construction of the city.

Secondly, there haven't been any major events recently, so even if all these troops were recruited, it wouldn't be possible to quickly increase our strength.

Moreover, if all of these 10,000-plus troops were summoned, the daily food consumption would increase many times over.

So I'll just keep it in my backpack for now.

After using up the battle merit rewards, the next step is to check the loot dropped by the Freshblood leader and the centurion.

"call……"

Suddenly, a cluster of flickering flames appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

The flames swayed slightly in the air, containing a profound power.

"Why is this divine fire red?"

Cao Xing looked puzzled, after all, the divine fire he obtained last time was pure white.

Then, I glanced at the attributes.

Bloodborne Divine Fire

[Quality: unknown]

[Item Description: Divine fire formed from the condensed power of abundant blood, capable of igniting the divine fire within the body of legendary powerhouses who have mastered the power of blood.]

[Item Effect 1: A legendary figure who has mastered the power of the Blood God can ignite this divine fire upon reaching level 150 and meeting the required level of divinity, with a chance to break through to the demigod realm.]

(Note: Because this divine fire contains pure blood divine power, legendary beings of the same attribute will have a 20% increased chance of breaking through to demigod status after absorbing it, while legendary beings of a different attribute will have a 20% decreased chance of breaking through after absorbing it.)
[Item Effect 2: Can directly absorb divine fire, replenishing 1000 points of divine power.]
