Poverty makes me capable of anything.

An Ran wanted to learn more about the power structure of the Dust Territory.

This batch of weapons was a lifesaver for the Rabbit-Eared Tribe, and An Ran did not exploit them.

Even if you tried to extract oil from the impoverished Rabbit-Eared Tribe, you wouldn't get much out of them. Even if you captured them as slaves, they would only provide more construction workers. Besides, An Ran can't defeat them right now.

After receiving sufficient intelligence, An Ran also gained a general understanding of the current situation in the Dust Territory.

This is a gravitationally bound system of celestial bodies with a diameter of tens of millions of light-years. Even if ten thousand Milky Way galaxies were laid out side by side, it wouldn't be that big.

In terms of scale, it has reached the average level of real-world galaxy clusters.

The Dust Realm has a supreme ruler.

This is also one of the eight rulers of this star field, the Night Demon King, nicknamed the Lord of the Night.

It is an old monster that has lived for hundreds of years.

Just how strong is he?

Because the rulers rarely fight each other and have established certain rules, it has been a long time since anyone has seen the Night Ruler make a move.

According to records from long ago, the Lord of the Night fought with another Lord of a star field, kicking planets around like balls, causing extremely terrible destruction.

"Grandmasters can already destroy stars, and it's not so hard to imagine that Star Domain Rulers can kick planets around like balls. After all, according to some settings, they are already beyond human."

The Night Elves are the largest race in the Dust Territory, and nominally rule the entire Dust Territory.

However, due to the small number of Night Demons, their control over the Dust Territory is not very stable.

The more remote the place, the more chaotic it is. The small races on the edge have always been oppressed. Races like the Rabbit-Eared Clan, who were able to successfully rebel and own their own territory, have surpassed 80% of the races in terms of survival environment.

The Rabbit-Eared Clan lives thousands of light-years away from Hidden Sands. They were forced to mine in such a distant place because they could not compete with the surrounding forces.

It's not that we haven't considered developing other industries, but doing business these days is very difficult. If we don't have the strength to guarantee the safety of the waterway, we shouldn't get involved in those money-making ventures.

"Because there are too many top-tier combatants here, even with master-level elders in charge, the Rabbit-Eared Clan is still in a very bad situation."

Anran looked at the simple star map spread out in front of her.

Given the strength of the Rabbit-Eared Clan, if they were brought to the Empire, they might not be much weaker than the Holy Order.

However, if that sealed void were thrown into the Dust Territory, it would likely be destroyed by the Night Lord's "minions" in no time.

However, the void dimension should not be underestimated.

That world has far more high-end combat power; this Void Realm member is merely one of its minor generals and not particularly formidable.

"I'm the worst off in this star field because it's near the edge, and there isn't even a star field ruler here."

An Ran was even less likely to bring the rabbit-eared tribe with her.

She can't defeat the Rabbit-Eared Clan right now. If they discover the truth, they'll definitely turn the tables on her, and this star field will be finished.

If a star field ruler comes, who can withstand him?

Currently, due to the existence of the Hidden Sandbar, neither side is aware of the other's existence.

This was a huge opportunity for Enron.

By navigating between the two worlds, one can reap significant benefits from both sides if managed well.

There's no better place for players to level up than the Hidden Sands Insect Clan. Once players become stronger, they can also get involved in the Dust Territory and help the Rabbit-Eared Clan become the leader of the small area.

"If I can't be the boss of the Central Plains, I think being the boss of Shanghai isn't bad either."

"The problem is the difficulty in supplying weapons."

They had to sell to Qianhexing on one hand, and supply goods to the Rabbit Ear Clan on the other.

There are troubles even when counting money.

"There's no point in you staying on Dolphin Star any longer. If you agree, I'll send you to the Holy Land of Magic for training." On Dolphin Star, An Ran found her little maid, Tan Yiyue.

Tan Yiyue majored in water magic. Although the Void Elixir helped her reach level 71, her magical proficiency was still lacking.

There was no one in the transdimensional world who could help her, so An Ran thought it would be a good opportunity to send her to the Rabbit-Eared Tribe.

Tan Yiyue has a high talent for magic, and the rabbit-eared tribe has a very systematic training model. As long as they give them a little benefit, the rabbits will definitely agree.

“This is what it means to study abroad, to learn from the barbarians’ superior techniques in order to control them,” An Ran thought.

"what?"

Tan Yiyue was stunned.

She thought An Ran had asked her to come and serve her. Although An Ran had always stayed on Dolphin Star, she rarely showed her face.

"Now you should know how insignificant the sea races are in the entire star field. If you want to fight for a living space for your race, simply relying on others is far less effective than becoming truly strong yourself. You have great magical talent, but I cannot teach you."

"..."

Often, it's simply based on a lack of worldly experience.

Dolphin Star has little contact with the outside world anymore, but Tan Yiyue has already traveled around Nagoria quite a bit.

The outside world is far from as rosy as Enron once portrayed.

Or rather, beneath the beautiful exterior lies a foundation paved with blood.

As Anran said, only when a true strongman emerges will the sea people avoid extinction many years later.

"I go!"

Tan Yiyue said firmly.

"very good."

An Ran also hopes that her subordinates will become stronger and stronger.

Otherwise, when she looks around the starry sky, she'll be the only one who has reached the Star Domain level, while everyone else isn't even at the Master level. Surrounded by Master and Grandmaster level players every day, she'll always feel a bit uneasy, as if she could be killed at any moment.

An Ran asked Tan Yiyue to say goodbye to her acquaintances, and then sent her onto the spaceship.

Before boarding the spaceship, Tan Yiyue hugged An Ran tightly.

He used his own nuclear warhead to strike An Ran's face hard, almost killing her.

"Luckily, I have enough health!"

Breathe in, exhale.

Ugh, I almost suffocated.

"You go!"

"I'm leaving."

“You…nine…um.”

Finally, Tan Yiyue was sent away.

An Ran wasn't worried that Tan Yiyue would reveal the actual situation to the rabbits, because Tan Yiyue, who came from the "mountain valley," had no idea how strong the high-end combat power of this star field was, and the rabbits wouldn't be able to get any information out of her.

They dare not use force.

"If possible, I should send An Qianqian to the Huanye Clan. All she does every day is eat, eat, eat. Apart from her physical strength getting stronger, I don't know what abilities she has. I feel like I picked up a glutton!"

She's not good at acting cute, and although she keeps saying she wants to have a curvy figure, she hasn't grown much in a year. Fortunately, she's finally started developing recently, which has helped An Qianqian regain her confidence in front of Ella.

She would walk up to Ella every now and then, deliberately puffing out her chest and straightening her body.

You little tablet, you dare to mess with me!

An Qianqian regained her confidence in Ella.

"You're being childish."

An Ran shook her head. Someone as mature as her, who was already an adult at 18, wouldn't bother competing with them in this kind of thing; she was sure to win anyway.

"Ah……"

Ella ignored the smug An Qianqian with a simple statement.

She didn't want to scare An Qianqian.

Anran said that bullying a child is unacceptable, and as the older sister, she should give in to the younger sister.

Otherwise, even Heloise is just "ordinary stuff."

Before I knew it, Anran had leveled up to 93 and was steadily making progress toward the 100 mark.

Amidst the ongoing conflicts, players have once again witnessed two new version updates, ushering in the 1.8 version era.

Time always seems to fly by in a never-ending mission.

The in-game timeline has been advanced by a full six months.

It will be 8105 in the blink of an eye.

Bapulo has no winter, and with its current heat, it can't tolerate one.

The Dust Territory development plan freed the hyperspace from the constraints of mineral resources, allowing it to remain dormant for a long time, but its strength experienced an explosive growth.

The number of players under its banner has exceeded 100,000, with an average level of 69. Half of the leaderboard in the entire Nagria is dominated by players from Time and Space.

This is mainly because players from the Time-Space faction are rarely seen on several leaderboards, such as the Wealth Ranking and the Glory Ranking for Faction Wars.

There's a saying that goes something like that.

Players in the Time-Space Rift basically can't save money; they invest all their money in increasing their combat power.

Then it went into Anran's wallet.

It becomes nourishment for the thriving, trans-temporal growth.

Version 1.6 was the theme of conflict, with everyone fighting each other. In version 1.7, the theme of war, the Empire is on fire everywhere. Due to the 1886 incident, friction also arises between the Covenant and the Omnic Horde. The Omnic Horde's plans make the Covenant feel uneasy.

The Star Circle, caught in the crossfire of powerful factions, has been hit by a terrorist attack, and all players are now playing a counter-terrorism game.

The only stable place is the Republic.

However, this ancient country has never actually been peaceful.

Its stability is based solely on the premise that "we've always been this way."

After version 1.8, the road to the capital city was finally opened.

It wasn't that Night Owl suddenly became stronger and tore open a rift, but rather that, through constant struggle, the upper echelons of the Empire realized, "Outsiders are damn useful!"
