The points earned from Crescent Moon World would be much higher than from Splendid World.
This was something Gu Nan had long anticipated. After all, Crescent Moon World was a Tier 4 dungeon, and the difficulty was also much higher than Splendid World, almost reaching the limit of difficulty levels for Tier 4 dungeons.
But Gu Nan was still surprised when the results were presented in front of him.
The profit from clearing Crescent Moon World once was ten times higher than Splendid World!
Now that the Divine Kingdom had already reached Tier 6 and the Evil God Temple had reached Level 1, if he wanted to advance, then six Level 1 structures were needed, as well as one miracle structure.
Getting six Level 1 structures was relatively simple. The previously constructed Level 0 structures could all be upgraded to Level 1 by spending 20,000 points.
But a miracle structure was slightly more troublesome. Launching a Divine Kingdom War was inevitable.
It took several months for Gu Nan to construct six Level 0 structures earlier, but now, he could upgrade one structure to Level 1 almost every three days.
Even if he had to build a completely new Level 1 structure, it would take at most five days.
Only this order of magnitude of points was enough to sustain the expenses of a Divine Kingdom War.
The second dungeon was enough to bring the logistics up to par, which made Gu Nan relatively cheerful. In the game, a large number of people sometimes couldn't afford to launch a war, even after building almost ten dungeons.
So the wealthy Classmate Gu Nan waved his hand and sent all six meritorious vampires into the Time Arena, spending a large amount of points on them to help them improve their strength considerably.
But neither did Gu Nan forget the Tier 3 mission experts clearing Splendid World because of this.
After all, the vast majority of dungeons didn't test one's strength. Crescent Moon World was just a special case.
If there were new high-difficulty dungeons in the future, they might still be needed to clear those.
After dealing with his subordinates, Gu Nan's gaze soon fell on the "Divine Servant Institute" structure. The Divine Servant Institute was the core of the Divine Kingdom Wars, because divine servants were the soldiers.
To fight a proper Divine Kingdom War, selecting the right types of soldiers and the precise ratio of soldier types was sometimes more important than the tactics on the battlefield.
Theoretically, as long as the quantity and quality of soldiers were up to par, even a pig could win a war.
Gu Nan sat in the middle of the Divine Kingdom. The ones who should be farming dungeons were farming, while the ones who should be managing the Divine Kingdom were busy managing it. Only Gu Nan rifled through documents for several days in a row.
The information was sent over by Red Tail from White Bones Realm. They all pertained to some small planes.
But even if they were small planes, these planes all shared one common feature—they were controlled by Star Rulers!
An astral world with an owner was completely different from an ownerless plane.
With an ownerless plane, no matter how much you messed it up, nobody would come after you. After all, the world's will was just a will.
And a will couldn't interfere with reality. This was the socialist materialistic view.
But an astral world with an owner was different—if you caused even a small commotion, the Star Ruler would probably find you directly.
For Star Rulers of small planes, the death of every single one of their inhabitants or cultivators may directly affect their power.
Killing their people was equivalent to weakening their power. It was no different from killing their father.
But it was extremely unfortunate that the target of the Divine Kingdom War could only be a Star Ruler's astral world.
After all, the ultimate goal of the war was to slay a god. If the plane didn't even have a god in the first place, then what would be the point of a war?
Even in the Myriad Heavens Universe, it was still the same.
Gu Nan was now looking for the right plane to be his next target.
As long as he could successfully destroy the target plane and kill the reigning Star Ruler, he would be able to earn a large quantity of points and Evil Value from the Divine Servant Institute.
This was the role of the Divine Servant Institute, the core structure of the Divine Kingdom War gameplay.
But Gu Nan had yet to decide on exactly what type of divine servants to train. It depended on the target plane; he would try to pick soldier types that held an advantage against the plane's inhabitants.
Gu Nan still didn't find a perfect target even after a few days, only a few he could try.
"In the end, this is too rushed." Gu Nan couldn't help shaking his head a little.
Normally, there were very few players who could fight a war so quickly. Many would only have the chance to launch their first war upon reaching Tier 8.
The reason was simple: while there was certainly a difference in the types of soldiers divine servants could be, their absolute strength was limited by the structure's level.
At most, Gu Nan could only build a Level 1 "Barracks" right now, so the soldiers produced by it naturally weren't too strong.
Fortunately, after taking control of the Raymond clan, he had quite a few Tier 4 subordinates. Otherwise, it would be even harder to fight a Divine Kingdom War—after all, this was an event he couldn't directly intervene in.
The gameplay for a Divine Kingdom War was to conquer other planes through the Divine Servant Institute. The player could only join the fight when it was "king against king" time, or else the earnings would be greatly reduced.
Since they couldn't find a suitable plane to attack, Gu Nan could only tell Red Tail to continue narrowing down possible planes, while he himself began to prepare the player army plan.
The core of the player army vision was to create a group of people with great potential and under Gu Nan's control, preferably with a player's mentality.
The last point was harder to accomplish, but it was also fine to just have the first two.
It was just like how normal forces picked good seedlings. Gu Nan quickly communicated the requirements to his many apostles, asking them to collect suitable candidates.
What Gu Nan didn't expect was for Yan Xiaoxiao to be the first one to speak up.
"There's a very good seedling in the Divine Kingdom. He's from the Western Continent," Yan Xiaoxiao recommended calmly.
Because of Gu Nan's influence, they were now getting used to the term "Divine Kingdom."
Gu Nan showed some interest and asked, "How good?"
"He's the champion of the latest Continental Martial Arts Tournament and is 29 years old."
"A late bloomer, huh?" Gu Nan commented with a raised eyebrow.
In the Immortal Demon World that became Gu Nan's Divine Kingdom, the power system wasn't very high, so those who reached the peak of their power here were often younger.
Gu Nan recalled that in the previous several Continental Martial Arts Tournaments, let alone the champion, the top three were rarely over 25 years of age.
Yan Xiaoxiao, however, seemed to have great confidence in this person. She revealed a small smile and replied, "Teacher, you'll definitely be satisfied after you see him."
...
This world had never lacked talents, even more so when the population had swelled to the point where "world" was used as a unit of measurement.
Liang Ruxin stood in front of the doors to the Evil God Temple. His middle-aged face contained some surprise, but for the most part, he was calm.
He had good reason to be calm. In his under thirty years of life, he'd already experienced several ups and downs. Now that he'd won the Continental Martial Arts Tournament again, he could say that his life was complete.
If there was still one thing he wanted to know, then it would probably be…
Before Liang Ruxin had time to think more, he suddenly felt his vision go dark as his consciousness was instantly extracted. By the time he woke up again, it was inside a very different world.
"Teacher?" Yan Xiaoxiao stood beside Gu Nan, staring at the scene in shock. She personally witnessed Gu Nan send Liang Ruxin directly to another plane without even meeting him first.
"To see a person's true nature, nothing is better than a completely unfamiliar environment." Gu Nan turned his head and smiled lightly. "By the way, start looking for someone to write some novels and spread them among the Divine Kingdom's inhabitants."
"What kind of novels?"
"Transmigration novels."
