Orphan Blood Planet--- Under the foot of the Step Pyramid

*Oooommnnnn*

”Here we go, it has begun!” Robin pointed towards the officer at the top of the pyramid

Flora looked towards him too but did not notice anything, so she turned back to Robin who was excited, ”What exactly has begun, Your Excellency? I do not have eyes like yours, I cannot see what you see.”

”It is the fourth stage of the Major Heavenly Law of Darkness, it started transforming the 41st solid foundation to be completely written in the patterns of darkness,” Robin smiled as he followed the process step by step, ”The Dark and Light Laws are rarer than most elemental laws, I did not expect that this pyramid to have them as well, I wonder if it holds any fundamental law like Space or Time inside it? ...I should examine it from top to bottom one day.”

”Arenʼt you free now, Your Excellency?” she asked immediately with a smile, ”You have brought many sacrifices, this process will not be done any time soon.”

Robin nodded, he did not seem very pleased...

Since the sacrifice process began and Robin saw the speed of its progress, he immediately knew that a single solid foundation would take a day or two to complete. The pyramid needed to gently destroy the foundations of the war prisoners so that they wouldnʼt die instantly or the foundation would explode, and it needed to be reshaped even more gently in the officerʼs energy gathering center and with a precision that had to be perfect. All of this was time-consuming, especially since the martial emperorsʼ solid energy foundation were huge!

Once the number of sacrifices was calculated, which amounted to 1.2 million prisoners in total, this meant that he would need to wait hundreds of days for the entire process to be completed!

”Before I came, I sent instructions to Sakaar to slow down his progress and hold back Amon so that we could prolong the war as much as possible, but it seems that I have to send him again to slow down even more. He should buy us a whole year.” Robin tapped his chin.

If he could stall for a year, everything would go perfectly!

Even if he put the fact of the sacrifices aside and that he would have nearly 300 martial emperors when he was done, this was not the only source of his strength!

Firstly, the Great Serpent Empire is an old planetary empire that has already reached its peak, and anything taken from them they will not be able to be replaced easily, they only use soldiers injected with Durgarʼs blood and only those injected in large quantities of that blood are very hard to come by, so replacing their soldiers and heads is very difficult.

On the other hand, the True Beginning Empire is young and the number of its potential troops is countless due to the spread of internal cultivation techniques in Greenland and Jura, every day that passes means more people are approaching the martial emperor realm, if they were given a whole year, dozens of martial emperors would emerge from them for sure, while the other side will remain the same!

Secondly, the empireʼs factories are being rebuilt now after being destroyed in the Greenland and Jura wars, it will take them a few months to get the production cycle back to normal and start producing more instant space portals, war arrays, more gold black armors, and within this year the R&D team will undoubtedly be able to increase the percentage of using Urasilium in weapons to make them stronger... So time is very much on their side!

”How is the situation in the Orphan Blood currently?” While thinking about the Empireʼs strengths, Robin noticed that he was completely focused on Jura and Greenland, so he couldnʼt help but ask Flora about his third property.

”We are in the midst of counting the survivors, initial indications are that there are about 8 million survivors and we are still finding more every day, most of those survivors are from the Lightning Bull and Red Flame Dragon tribes, while about a million are from 23 other races.” Flora explained the situation calmly, ”They are currently gathered in a safe place in the middle of the continent and I have contacted my colleagues on Planet Greenland to bring them enough food, so there is no fear for them until we figure out what to do in the coming period..” She then continued, ”On the other hand, Demon General Sayer and dozens of Demon Emperors and about 200 thousand soldiers and civilians are still in the Orphan Blood and are currently rebuilding the Demon City... but we still donʼt know how we will deal with each other from now on.” Robin nodded a few times, ”I understand, this will be really difficult, they are used to antagonizing and killing each other in order to survive, the hatred between the races is too high, but now that everyone is part of the empire, the old system of hunting and eating each other should not return, how can they be counted under the same empire if they continued killing each other?” Flora shook her head, ”Your Excellency, all the survivors have already tasted the flesh of the intelligent races, some of them are addicted to it, we canʼt put them all in one city and hope that nothing will happen.”

”...Hmm, there are four continents on the Orphan Blood Planet, right? The continents are separated by small seas or mountain ranges, so it can be said that they are not completely isolated...” After a short pause, he continued, ”I want you to dedicate one of those continents to the Demons, then start preparing one of the other continents for the original Orphan Blood inhabitants, so that each race has a city of its own, and there are several large cities where all races can move around in peace, and ONLY those bigger cities will be full of the empireʼs bounties and cultivation methods.”

Then he continued, ”As for the other two continents, choose the most isolated one and forcefully expel all the inhabitants from it, that continent will be dedicated to hunting games, whoever wants to kill or eat the flesh of the intelligent races must be inside that continent and will not be held accountable for it, but whoever commits that crime outside of it will be killed by being burned alive.”

”...!!” Floraʼs smile and calmness disappeared for a moment, His Excellency was able to solve the planetʼs crisis with a few words!

Small private cities will make the races feel safe, the larger central cities will gradually make them get used to each otherʼs presence in the same place, and the hunting continent and the burning rule will prevent violence in the rest of the planet and satisfy all parties!

Gradually, after all the races get used to each other, the new generation will not feel the desire to go to the Hunting Continent at all, the planetʼs features may change completely!

”But the bloodlust heavenly law...” Flora looked down, this is the current obstacle to a bright future.

Robin laughed, ”Donʼt worry, I will direct their bloodlust towards other enemies when they join my army, the important thing now is for them to settle down and prepare to be a cornerstone of the True Beginning Empire!”

*Whoosh*

From behind Robin, a person emerged from the shadow of a portal and quickly walked towards Robin, ”Your Excellency!! They told me I would find you here.”

”...Whatʼs wrong?” Robin turned around and immediately frowned, it was a martial emperor shadow sword, it was supposed to circle the planet several times without getting tired, and yet he was sweating!

”Your Excellency, we have completely lost Planet Nihari!!
