--- Chapter 378 ---
After staying at Sea God Island for a few days and catching up with seven children of the Sea God, Yunlong returned to the Bright Spirit Empire.
Of course, he brought Bo Saixi over.
Upon arriving at the Bright Spirit Palace, Yunlong was "quickly." welcomed by the sight of Sun and Moon Empire's former citizens transmigrating into a newly built city that could accommodate several million people.
The city itself is forty miles away from Bright Spirit City. These people are lucky that Yaoyorozu Momo was the one who governed them because others won't be as merciful.
Gaining the citizenship of the Bright Spirit Empire wasn't easy either, as Momo tried her best to reform them, but from the sight, these people seemingly behaved well enough.
As they tried to adapt to the Bright Spirit Empire's Laws and Order, it would take a month or so before they could receive citizen's level permission and search for a job.
Yunlong smiled as Momo didn't disappoint him. Even though it was faint, he could tell these newly molded citizens started giving him their faith energy and strengthening his divinity.
The faith energy is gathering at a slow pace, but better than nothing.
[You need at least fifteen million more people to provide you enough Faith Energy, Host] Neo placed her analysis at lightning speed.
'I believe there are more people out there, right?'
[Yes, but the majority of those people are from Tribes]
[To reform them, I recommend spreading your "Divinity of Miracle." more evenly]
Yunlong shook his head and sighed inwardly, 'It's easier said than done.'
Yunlong possessed a Thousand Worlds in his Martial Souls, each with its functioning universe and solar system. Several human-like and beast lifeforms have appeared there, providing him with 10% of Faith Energy's recovery.
If Yunlong keeps adding his family and loyal subordinates, assigning them as the World Rulers, the recovery's speed will be increased sky-high.
After all, only Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong got assigned as the World Rulers currently.
He planned to do the same with his maids, Kaguya, Gu Yuena, Liu Erlong, Elven Queen, and Bo Saixi later. Uchiha Madara, Dugu Bo, Jin Eyu(The Golden Crocodile Douluo), Black Zetsu, and others he had shared Godhood's Package also met the criteria.
Not only did becoming the World Rulers boost their cultivation base but Yunlong was also reassured when the Outer God tried to invade Douluo Planet.
"I'll go find Black Zetsu," Kaguya said, kissing Yunlong on the cheek, and disappeared.
Bo Saixi curiously asked, "Who is Black Zetsu?"
Yunlong was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer this question.
"Oh well, Black Zetsu is Kaguya's son. He is your brother, in a way. It's complicated as he wasn't birthed through normal means and mainly appeared like a black liquid glob."
"To put it shortly, Black Zetsu's the manifestation of Kaguya's will before I reunited with her."
Bo Saixi's expression scrunched as it was indeed complicated.
But funnily enough, Black Zetsu is older than Bo Saixi, a cultivator from Cultivation World. And to be fair, Black Zetsu didn't age for over a thousand years due to his nature.
Yunlong washed these mundane thoughts from his head and led Bo Saixi to the Throne Room. They entered the room and saw Bibi Dong holding a meeting with her adjutants.
Bibi Dong noticed Yunlong's presence and smiled, "Oh, you're back?"
She waved her hand and said, "Adjutants, out!"
The adjutants nodded and left the Throne Room. Two female adjutants glanced at Yunlong and blushed before walking out.
"Come here, give me a kiss." Bibi Dong patted the throne.
"How needy." Yunlong teased, coming to the throne and kissing her.
"Oh..." Bo Saixi blinked in surprise but didn't find this sight weird.
After the kiss, Bibi Dong stepped off the throne and bowed before Bo Saixi. "I'm sorry..." She said with a regretful tone.
"Yunlong is the most precious thing I have in this world. When I detested you for being a worthless Trial Watcher, I wasn't in the right mind and panicked about losing him."
Bo Saixi was stunned and quickly grabbed Bibi Dong's arm, pulling her up from the bowing position. "Get up, Empress. You didn't do anything wrong."
"I am a worthless Trial Watcher who couldn't even save Yunlong nor find him. I'm more a burden than anything."
"For three years, I couldn't imagine how anxious you were..." She added with a hopeless look.
Bibi Dong shook her head gently and returned, "The same goes for you, but please accept my apology."
"If you want, I'll even compensate you personally."
"I forgive you." Bo Saixi smiled, squeezing Bibi Dong's hand with warmth.
"As for the compensation, I don't need it. My life is perfect enough with Yunlong's comeback. W-We also did something..." She continued with a blush.
Bibi Dong knew what Bo Saixi meant and gave Yunlong a sly look, making the latter laugh innocently.
"I did my best." Yunlong raised his arms.
...
...
As Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi mend their relationship in the Palace's Garden, Yunlong fiddled with his phone and called several people from the Bright Spirit Lab.
Soon, six reliable researchers arrived at the Throne Room.
Kyudai Garaki.
Saiko Intelli.
Mei Hatsume.
David Shield.
Melissa Shield.
Momo Yaoyorozu.
They lined up before Yunlong, waiting for him to open his mouth.
"Sorry for calling you when you were busy, Momo." Yunlong smiled weakly at Momo.
Momo Yaoyorozu pursed her lips and returned, "The Sun and Moon's refugees have settled on the Sun-Moon City, and I only act as supervisor."
"They are behaving well, so things are quick."
"Stop being humble. I'm proud of you, Momo." He praised her.
Momo blushed and played with her jet-black hair, "Hehe, is that so?"
Yunlong nodded and continued, "Well, I've come up with an important project."
"This project needs six of you to lead it, including me. We'll start building an Intergalactic Base."
"This Intergalactic Base will be "completely." focused on defending the Douluo's Solar System."
The six researchers were too stunned to speak.
"Human Resources's Division, Kyudai Garaki, gather your homunculus. We need skillful and anti-error operators." Yunlong started calling them up.
"Weapon and Defense Division, David Shield. Show me the latest technology we had to advance to space."
"Material Resources Division, Momo Yaoyorozu. List every precious mineral and material we could use for this project."
"Spirit Developing Division, Saiko Intelli. Give me everything your division developed so far, more so on the genetics of Abyssal Races we got recently. You can ask Kyudai for more samples later."
"Tech-Invention Division, Met Hatsumei. Give me the survey of all your successful Anti-Gravity Techs, including Stabilizers and New Generations Jet-Thrusters."
"Also, share the review of the Time-Travelling Device and Wormholes Creation from the Sun and Moon Empire. Wait, add the Mecha too."
"And lastly, Myriad Fusion Division, Melissa Shield. Can you give us the estimation of when the pollution-free Energy Fusion Reaction you promised is ready?"
"We need that thing asap."
"You know what? Come to the Test Room with the prototype. I'll see if I can help you finish it."
"Everyone, go. Do your tasks!" Yunlong clapped his hand.
Kyudai and David left the room first, teleporting to their Research Labs.
Saiko and Mei moved shortly after, following Yunlong's command quickly as he wanted this urgently.
"Why so sudden?" Melissa asked with a confused expression.
"Enemy, many enemies are gonna invade us in two years," Yunlong answered solemnly. "I just received a warning from the Sea God."
"Two years..." Momo mumbled to herself. "We have no choice but to abandon and halt several projects to complete the Intergalactic Space Base."
"I'll be back soon." She gave him a firm gaze and vanished into thin air.
Melissa sighed and pouted while putting her hands on the hip, "Mister, you're giving me a heavy job as soon as you return."
"We don't even have quality time to spend, hmph!"
Yunlong walked to Melissa and pinched her cheeky cheeks, "I promise to spend more time with you later."
"Hehe, deal." Melissa giggled happily.
