Only

the five most powerful Legatees who had gathered China’s Fate dared to

use their Nation Armaments so easily. Apart from Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin,

and Han, other Legatees would have to think twice about using their

Nation Armaments in the future.

Apart from China, the Roman Empire seemed to have also used its Nation Armament - it was a spear called the Spear of Destiny.

Egypt had also used their Nation Armament slightly before - their Nation Armament was called the Solar Crown.

These

factions only dared to use their Nation Armaments slightly because they

didn’t have a ma.s.sive amount of Fate. Because of how big China was, it

contained a great amount of Fate, but most of it had gone to the five

great Dynasties and their Legatees.

Out of China’s five great

Dynasties, only the Han Dynasty hadn’t used its Nation Armament yet, so

their gains were far lesser than the others. Apart from these factions,

no other faction had used their Nation Armaments yet.

Zhao Fu

didn’t know much about different Nation Armaments. This was because the

world had a long history, was very large, and had many different nations

and empires.

Right now, it was still the early stages, so not

many people dared to use their Nation Armaments. Zhao Fu knew that by

the late stages, as the nations and empires became powerful, the Nation

Armaments would also become incredibly powerful. When that time came,

the Heaven Awaken World would become incredibly terrifying and brutal.

Over

at Great Xia, Si Ji was quite satisfied with his gains this time. Last

time, during the Ten Thousand Flower Festival, he had only gained the

eighth-ranked Legendary grade equipment, while he had obtained the

fifth-ranked profession this time. He had made quite an improvement.

However,

he was apprehensive towards the unknown factions that had obtained the

top four professions. Recently, Great Qin had become much quieter than

before and hadn’t done anything big; therefore, Great Qin wasn’t as

focused upon.

After hearing his subordinates’ reports, it seemed

that Great Qin hadn’t obtained a single profession, but how could Si Ji

believe this? He had already started viewing Great Qin as one of his

most powerful rivals, and he wouldn’t believe that Great Qin was so

weak.

Whenever Si Ji thought about the top four professions, the

possibility of Great Qin taking one of them always flashed in his mind.

However, according to his spies in East Green, nothing big had happened

there.

“ _Could it be that Great Qin’s not in East Green? What’s

going on?_ ” Si Ji couldn’t understand what was going on, but he was

still uneasy. He would never have expected that both the top-ranked and

third-ranked professions had been taken by Zhao Fu.

Great Shang’s

Legatee, Di Wutian, stood at a high place and uproariously and

domineeringly laughed. He was quite happy with his results this time,

and apart from the original ten or so seductive women, there were a few

more seductive women standing behind him. It seemed that his harem had

yet again increased.

Great Zhou’s Legatee, Ji Shenming, wasn’t

very happy with his gains during the Ghost Festival, but he could only

be satisfied with that. He held a banquet for those who had made great

contributions, while Great Han’s Legatee, Liu Ye, could only sigh and

feel disappointed - some unforeseen events had happened this time.

After

looking through the Heaven Awaken World forum, Zhao Fu’s bodyguard

arrived with some food. After quickly eating it, he once again went to

the Heaven Awaken World.

After the Ghost Festival finished, there were two main things for Great Qin to do.

The

first was to start gaining slaves. Great Qin had now unlocked 21

regions, seven of which were on the boundary with Vietnam. Moreover,

many of those regions were heavily influenced by Zhao Fu’s Vietnamese

residents, and Great Qin controlled them from the shadows.

In the

future, Zhao Fu wanted Ly Qinqian to create a faction that gathered not

only indigenous residents but also Vietnamese players. At the same time,

Zhao Fu would start recruiting people on the Chinese side.

Because it was so chaotic in the boundary regions, there were great profits to be made there.

However,

Zhao Fu’s aim wasn’t just the boundary regions - he would also be

gaining a large number of slaves in exchange for selling Shattersteel

Iron weapons!

Zhao Fu’s plot was somewhat insidious, but he didn’t

care about the methods he used as long as he could fulfill his goals.

However, he wasn’t one to be so shameless as to market his cruel plots

as something that was grand and heroic.

Out of good, neutral, and evil, Zhao Fu would definitely be neutral, leaning towards evil!

Right

now, population was incredibly important to any faction, so it was

incredibly rare for a faction to give away people unless that faction

was absolutely desperate.

What Zhao Fu wanted to do was to incite

discord between various factions and make them fight amongst themselves,

reducing them to a state where they had to offer their people. However,

if he wanted to do such a thing, he would have to personally go and set

up the right conditions in each of the regions. He also needed detailed

intelligence to make plans in order for this to work.

Now that

Zhao Fu wanted to rapidly gain slaves, he had to encourage warfare. If

it was in the real world, he would be lambasted with criticism, which

would include violating human rights and destroying peace.

However,

Zhao Fu didn’t care about any of this - when the Heaven Awaken World

devoured the real world in the future, an incredibly dark era would

descend, and people would start dying permanently. Once he died, he

would stay dead, so he understood that he had to start making

preparations now, no matter how cruel they were.

Justice? Peace?

Benevolence? If there were any people who truly believed in such things

and followed them, Zhao Fu would accept their criticism. However, when

the time came, there would only be perhaps one in ten thousand people

who would hold on to such beliefs - most people would be hypocrites and

two-faced.

Moreover, if Zhao Fu wanted to buy slaves with

equipment, he would need a ma.s.sive amount of materials. He had a Bronze

Concentrate Mine and could also purchase large amounts of material.

High-grade materials were difficult to obtain, but ordinary materials

could be bought quite easily.

Finally, if he wanted to carry out

his plan, he would have to remain absolutely neutral in all

circ.u.mstances and couldn’t show that he was a threat. Otherwise, his

plan wouldn’t work out.

The second thing to do was to obtain a large number of Stage 1 corpses and high-grade corpses.

Great

Qin would normally obtain some high-grade corpses when attacking other

villages, so this wasn’t too difficult. However, Zhao Fu couldn’t have

high requirements and had to settle for A grade corpses if he wanted

many of them.

Zhao Fu needed high-grade Grade Orbs to help his

soldiers cultivate faster and to increase their comprehension, and he

needed Stage 1 corpses to quickly boost their cultivations in the short

term.

Right now, out of Zhao Fu’s 20,000 soldiers, there were

roughly 5,000 of them who were at Stage 0-7 or Stage 0-8 - these were

all soldiers who had followed Zhao Fu from the beginning. Most of them

were A grade and had relatively high cultivations, and once Zhao Fu

obtained a large number of Stage 1 corpses, he would instantly be able

to gain 5,000 Stage 1 soldiers.

However, it was very difficult to

get a large number of Stage 1 corpses, and only main cities had many of

them. What’s more, there were very few cities like Battle City;

otherwise, with 20 corpses from each city, Zhao Fu wouldn’t be so

troubled by this.

Could he use some sort of method to make two

main cities go to war and collect a large number of Stage 1 corpses?

However, the City Lords weren’t idiots, and they wouldn’t be used so

easily. If Zhao Fu failed, he would face the wrath of two main cities.
