Gao Wu: My freshman internship was a battle on the front lines.

Only thirty were found.

In just ten days, all eight prefectures and two capitals of the Great Xia Dynasty submitted to the leadership of the Great Xia King.

There was no large-scale civil war, and no massive bloodshed.

Those former opposition forces were swiftly and decisively eliminated by Ye Feng.

Their entire clan was wiped out and their property confiscated.

The other minor fry were also easily subdued by Vivian.

Vivian even kept putting pressure on those powerful and honest groups.

They extorted a lot of good stuff from them.

Under such a set of methods to crack down.

All other forces of the Great Xia Dynasty submitted and pledged allegiance, no longer daring to disobey the Great Xia King's orders.

Inside the god-class warship.

Vivian stood in front of Ye Feng.

Her blue eyes shone brightly.

Countless data and video footage were presented directly to Ye Feng.

Her voice was calm and precise, as if she were reading a work report.

"Master, after ten days of full-scale production, the war puppet production line has been completed."

"One hundred and eighty enhanced sixth-tier puppet production lines, six hundred sixth-tier puppet production lines, and three thousand low-tier fourth-tier and fifth-tier puppet production lines."

"Regarding the war puppet inventory, there are currently 3,200 Tier 6 puppets, 800 enhanced Tier 6 puppets, and 100 Martial God-level puppets. As for the Tier 4 and Tier 5 puppets, there are over 30,000."

"We have sufficient raw material reserves, and even without purchasing new raw materials, we can maintain full-capacity production for a month."

"In addition, Grand Secretary Zhao is mobilizing the entire Great Xia Dynasty to collect materials for making puppets."

Ye Feng looked at the data and the neat rows of war puppets.

He nodded in satisfaction: "Continue to increase the production of various war puppets."

"As for the production lines, the enhanced Tier 6 production line will continue manufacturing, while other production lines will be halted, and manpower and resources will be concentrated on the enhanced version."

Ye Feng felt that there were already enough sixth-tier war puppets.

Or focus on producing enhanced war puppets.

"What a pity! I only have fifty Great Dao Fruits left! I need to save these to nurture human martial gods."

"If only we had a few dozen more Great Dao Fruits."

Vivian overheard Ye Feng's mutterings.

Vivian's large, blue eyes blinked, indicating that she had a surprise for her master.

Ye Feng spoke up immediately: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Then Vivian slowly recounted how she had annihilated dozens of martial god families.

Ye Feng was also stunned.

Vivian is really capable!

He had long disliked these martial god families.

While the soldiers on the front lines of the Great Xia were fighting to the death against alien beasts, these bastards were completely oblivious to their plight.

They were all only concerned with their own little territory, and they only obeyed his orders but not his commands, some even outwardly complying while inwardly disobeying him.

"These damned martial god families, relying on their power in Great Xia City, have been acting arrogantly and domineeringly in Great Xia. It's good that they've been wiped out."

"Thus, the Great Xia Dynasty has been completely reborn, without the destruction of the old order."

Vivian: "Master! As long as you don't blame me for acting on my own, that's fine! This is the fruit of the Great Dao that I obtained."

"These are also unknown treasures. But I feel they are similar in nature to the Primordial Blood Jade."

"Oh?" Ye Feng saw the two items Vivian had taken out.

Ye Feng recognized the thirty Great Dao Fruits.

But there were one hundred white crystal-like objects that he had never seen before.

"Thirty Great Dao Fruits! That's enough for my next plan."

"But what are these white crystals?"

"System! Identify it for me!" Ye Feng thought to himself.

[Ding! This is a fragment of the Great Dao, a supreme treasure left behind when the Great Dao perished. Its effects are the same as the Primordial Blood Jade obtained by the host.]

"Really?" Ye Feng was overjoyed.

His current headache is that the Martial God of Great Xia is not powerful enough.

Currently, all eighteen martial gods under his command are at the initial stage of martial god level.

The Qi and Blood value is between ten million and fifteen million.

Such combat power is insufficient to attack the Machine Race and the Demon Race.

To be honest, this kind of martial god is not as useful as my own enhanced puppet.

The Primordial Blood Jade obtained from the vampires could have enhanced the strength of a Martial God. Moreover, one jade could raise a Martial God by one minor realm.

Unfortunately, he had the system test the Hunyuan Blood Jade.

[Ding! This blood jade is indeed a supreme treasure, but after a Martial God consumes it, he will directly become an appendage of the Blood Clan's Great Dao.]

Ye Feng was completely dumbfounded.

"Damn! This Blood Fiend is definitely no good; he actually resorted to underhanded tactics."

"Luckily! I saw through his scheme and killed him with a single blow."

"But Vivian is really capable! She gave me such a big surprise this time."

"My own plans can now be put on the agenda."

"Both the Machine Race and the Demon Race, just wash your necks clean and wait for me to chop them off! You are all part of my kill count."

Ye Feng's thoughts became increasingly optimistic. The ship's door opened, and Zhao Gongming walked in.

His pace was slower than usual, and he looked a little tired, but his eyes were still bright.

He was dressed in a black combat uniform, holding a thick stack of documents. When he saw Ye Feng, he sighed and said, "Ye Feng, I've been the head of the prefecture for most of my life, and I thought I was busy enough. But after becoming a Grand Secretary, I realized that the work of the head of the prefecture is nothing at all."

Ye Feng felt a little guilty looking at Zhao Gongming's exhausted appearance.

Zhao Gongming was not young and should have been enjoying his retirement in Shanhe Prefecture, but he was pulled in to become the Grand Secretary of the Great Xia Dynasty, dealing with mountains of government affairs every day.

Although Vivian has taken over the civil service system, it will take time to get it running smoothly, and Zhao Gongming still needs to handle many things personally.

"Grand Secretary Zhao, is it not easy being a Grand Secretary?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

Zhao Gongming shook his head, then nodded, and said with a wry smile, "It's easy to say that being in charge is easy, because Vivian has all the dirt on those civil officials, so no one dares to play any tricks. It's also not easy to say that being in charge is difficult, because there are mountains of old problems, and every single one of them needs to be re-examined. Just the fiscal deficits reported by various places alone are enough for me to review for three days and three nights."

"However," he paused, looking up at Ye Feng, "although I'm tired, I feel at peace. When I was the prefect, I always felt that Shanhe Prefecture might collapse at any moment. The Great Xia Dynasty could be destroyed and its people wiped out at any time."

"But things are different now. Although I'm busy, I'm busy willingly."

"I am truly happy to see the Great Xia Dynasty grow stronger day by day."

This is true.

Zhao Gongming was born during the darkest decades of the Great Xia Dynasty.

From a young age, he watched helplessly as the mechanical race relentlessly encroached upon the territory of Great Xia.

Watching the demons invade Great Xia from time to time through spatial rifts.

Especially his hometown, Shanhe Prefecture.

Shanhe Prefecture is the only one of the eight prefectures and two capitals without a martial god family. (They all perished or died in battle beyond the realm for various reasons.)

It was also a major area where foreign races and beasts bullied people.

Therefore, he vowed to become a God of War, a pillar of strength for the Mountain and River Prefecture, to protect this land.

However, things didn't go as planned.

His limited aptitude prevented him from breaking through to the Martial God realm.

I thought that would be my life forever.

Until a prodigy was born.
