Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 287  Dominions of different races

Apart from demons and humans, the continent was home to a diverse array of races, including Elves, Dwarves, Barbarians, Sea Monsters, Giants, and Angels. Each of these races boasted a dominion, akin to the Silver Devil Asura Dominion, strategically positioned by their ancestral figures across the land.

Among these, the Elves held possession of the most enigmatic dominion, one with the uncanny ability to seamlessly teleport itself to different regions of the continent. This mystical realm was none other than the Divine Tree Elven Dominion, shrouded in mystery.

On the contrary, the Barbarians wielded a dominion of formidable strength, its laws meticulously curated to thwart any opposing force. Named the Ruthless Barbarian Immortal Dominion, this domain was a testament to their sheer power.

The Dwarves showcased a domain characterized by its intricate equilibrium between offense and defense. Aptly named the Dwarven Powered Immortal Dominion, it stood as a marvel of engineering.

The Giants carved their dominion deep within the earthʼs embrace, a concealed realm where their entire tribe thrived beneath the surface, building a society uniquely their own. This subterranean expanse bore the name of the Underworld Giant Divine Dominion.

Angels, on the other hand, claimed dominion within the celestial heights, a sprawling territory as expansive as the capital of an Empire. Though their numbers remained limited, each angel held unparalleled expertise. Their realm, an aerial city of celestial proportions, was fittingly named the Angelic Sky City.

Lastly, the Sea Monsters inhabited the depths of the oceanʼs abyss, their dominion veiled in secrecy, its attributes and abilities shrouded in utter obscurity.

Across the sprawling continent, the human race held dominion over most of the land, although only a handful of regions boasted the coveted Immortal Dominions or Blessed Lands.

In the midst of this intricate tapestry, demons from the Silver Devil Asura Dominion surged forth, their relentless assaults directed towards neighboring human empires. Spearheading these attacks was none other than Jiang Chen, orchestrating devastating array formations that wreaked havoc upon the once tranquil territories.

As the Heavenly Courtʼs seasoned experts responded to Jiang Chenʼs challenge, a furious skirmish ensued. With impeccable timing, Jiang Chen activated a defensive array, blunting the force of their assault and expertly engaging their ranks. The frantic battle unfolded at breakneck speed, Jiang Chenʼs meticulous preparations allowing him to inflict substantial losses upon the Heavenly Courtʼs formidable experts.

Simultaneously, the other races seized the opportunity to make their presence known.

The Dwarves surged forth, launching a concerted offensive against a neighboring human Empire, their sights set on territorial conquest.

The Sea Monsters, emanating from the oceanʼs abyss, swallowed the eastern coastal regions, their advance marked by the relentless tide of their assault.

In the southern reaches of the continent, the Barbarians ignited havoc, causing disruption and turmoil in proximity to the Across the arid deserts of the western terrain, the Giants wrought chaos, leveraging their deep understanding of the desertʼs innate Everlasting Mystical Empire under Wang Jianʼs rule.

Across the arid deserts of the western terrain, the Giants wrought chaos, leveraging their deep understanding of the desertʼs innate laws to overcome the human occupants.

Hovering in the celestial heights, the Angels reawakened from their seclusion within the Angelic Sky City. Their gaze fell upon the burgeoning turmoil below, their intervention now imperative. With the emergence of Jiang Chen, the time had come to quell the demon scourge and reinstate equilibrium.

In the midst of this tumultuous upheaval, the enigmatic Elven Race remained an exception. Sequestered within the confines of their Divine Tree Elven Dominion, they steadfastly preserved their tranquility amidst the chaos that gripped the continent.

Keenly observant, they chose to distance themselves from the fray, determined to shield their race from the tempestuous storm brewing across the land.

Even though the Heavenly Court wielded considerable power and influence, grappling with a simultaneous onslaught of attacks proved to be a daunting challenge that stretched its authority to its limits.

The different races, spanning hundreds of thousands of years of growth and preparation, had amassed formidable strength over time. Their long-term efforts were now coming to fruition in the form of relentless assaults.

As the looming threat of the Barbarians drew dangerously close to the Everlasting Mystical Empireʼs borders, Wang Jian sprang into action, rapidly rallying his subordinates with a sense of urgency.

Recognizing the imperative need for a united response, he entrusted the critical task to four capable leaders: Yue Yanling, the indomitable Grand Elder Yi Ren, the courageous Major Guan Yin, and Zyrithia, the enigmatic Nether Curseweaver Devil Princess.

With unwavering resolve, they took upon themselves the mantle of spearheading the Empireʼs defense against this encroaching menace.

The formidable ranks of the army under their command constituted a rich mosaic of diverse talents.

Ferocious beasts hailing from Stellaʼs Sacred Dominion formed an integral part of the forces, accompanied by the Silver-Tailed Fox Race, and stalwart disciples from martial sects including the Heavenly Blade Sect, the Lotus Blossom Sect, the Celestial Dragon Sect, and the Jade Serpent Sect.

Not to be overlooked were the valiant members of numerous clans affiliated with the Everlasting Mystical Empire.

Most intriguingly, the assembly also included the formidable members and subordinates of the two influential and potent devil clans, namely the Blue Moon Eclipse Devil Clan and the Nether Curseweaver Devil Clan.

Wang Jianʼs strategic acumen came to the fore as he adroitly harnessed the power of the Soul Board ability, channeling it to allocate points to the prominent figures within this formidable army.

This shrewd move, in turn, facilitated the augmentation of their abilities and elemental affinities, a calculated maneuver aimed at maximizing their potential to wreak havoc upon their adversaries.

The results of this strategic finesse became apparent, with certain soldiers undergoing such a significant augmentation that their prowess no longer paled in comparison to the barbarians, affirming their status as formidable contenders in terms of raw strength.

As his formidable army engaged the Barbarian threat head-on, Wang Jianʼs attention was firmly fixated on a distinct matter of significance.

The latest rendition of the Telephone Artifact had undergone a noteworthy upgrade. All thanks to the tireless efforts of the Liu Family, who had invested considerable time and energy into refining its capabilities, this upgraded version now boasted the capacity to connect with a staggering total of 1000 contacts.

This impressive expansion in its functionality was a direct result of the Liu Familyʼs ingenuity.

Meeting and exceeding all of Wang Jianʼs stringent criteria, this enhanced Telephone Artifact offered secure communication through a dedicated spatial channel.

Remarkably, the Liu Family had even devised a companion Artifact – an ingenious creation designed to eavesdrop on conversations transpiring between two Telephones.

A mere adjustment of the dial to match the corresponding Identity Talisman was all that was required to initiate this covert surveillance.

This clandestine eavesdropping operation was entrusted to none other than Bixi Shuyan and her dedicated team, composed of members of the loyal Silver-Tailed Fox Race.

Given their unwavering loyalty to Bixi Shuyan and Lady Zhuoran, the secrecy of this eavesdropping endeavor was guaranteed.

However, it was not just the elite who could revel in these cutting-edge innovations. The artifact that was unveiled to the masses was aptly christened the ”Recorder.”

True to its name, this ingenious device had the capacity to capture sounds upon activation and cease once deactivated. Moreover, it offered the convenience of playing back the recorded audio at will.

A caveat accompanied this marvel – each Recorder could house a limited collection of 1000 audio entries.

Once the quota was reached, users would need to acquire a fresh Recorder to continue recording.

The grand unveiling of both the Telephone Artifact and the Recorder Artifact triggered a resounding sensation in the market.

As news of these groundbreaking creations spread, the publicʼs enthusiasm reached a fervent crescendo.

The allure of these artifacts and their multifaceted utilities captivated the masses, igniting a frenzy of demand that swept across the Empire.

Soon enough, the ripples of these groundbreaking artifacts extended beyond Wang Jianʼs own empire, permeating neighboring realms and races alike. The mere concept behind these marvels left the other empires and races in awe. Yet, as expected, the allure of such innovation birthed a flood of imitations into the market.

For Wang Jian, this was an anticipated turn of events, hardly causing him any concern. His unshakable confidence stemmed from the fact that his genuine creations, the result of meticulous quality checks and innovative thinking, outshone their replicas in every aspect.

The returns on Wang Jianʼs ingenious venture spiraled into an unimaginable fortune, beyond quantification. His treasury burgeoned to proportions so colossal that it could only be expressed in terms of towering mountains of gold.

With his empire ascending to the pinnacle of affluence among human realms, Wang Jian seized the opportunity to put his vast wealth to the best possible use.

The lionʼs share was allocated to an array of coveted treasures: rare and potent martial techniques, alchemical formula scrolls boasting arcane knowledge, innovative talismanic methodologies, and avant-garde blacksmithing techniques for crafting formidable armaments.

Additionally, Wang Jian sought out unique resources from diverse categories that remained elusive within the confines of the Everlasting Mystical Empire.

To optimize his investments in rare botanicals, Wang Jian strategically plotted the cultivation of these precious herbs within the confines of the Chaos Essence Bead.

This artifactʼs potential to multiply these rare plants was a boon that Wang Jian intended to exploit to its fullest.

This ingenious strategy would facilitate exponential growth, multiplying the yield of these sought-after plants.

The remaining acquisitions were earmarked for distribution among factions directly affiliated with his Imperial Faction, an act not only of camaraderie but also a calculated move to bolster the collective strength of those aligned with his cause.
