My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

After the Red Mountain City incident, Mu Yuan hastened to a nearby official town and took the Steel Train to arrive at Pan Shi City.

And here...

Mu Yuan went directly through the Starry Sky Gate and returned to the long-missed Tianyuan Territory.

"Our territory may not be bustling, but indeed, it surpasses the big cities outside by thousands, even tens of thousands of times."

Although he had been traveling for a month or two, he still had a crystal-clear understanding of the situation of his own territory.

During this time, the Ten Directions Island Domain had been relatively calm.

No, that's not quite accurate to say.

"A month and a half ago, the most northern medium-sized Soul Sand Mine was assaulted by a large Monster Tide initiated by the remnants of the Black Crow Clan."

...

"One month ago, a wandering monster from the Legendary Realm appeared in the Ten Directions Island Domain, a Lava Giant Beast over sixty meters tall."

The Lava Giant Beast had barely appeared before it encountered an exploratory team from Tianyuan.

Afterward, it was besieged and slain by the Tianyuan team with the help of summoned allies.

...

"Sixteen days ago, a Nest of Filth emerged in the northern border of the Ten Directions Island Domain, spewing out hundreds, even thousands of High-order Monsters, with the tidal wave roaring in."

"The Nest of Filth existed for less than two days before it was annihilated."

...

"Ten days ago, an assassin from the outside world, likely coming through the Shen Luo Domain passageway, tried to infiltrate the core area of Tianyuan City, but was captured on the spot by the patrol team."

"This assassin possessed the combat power of a Four-order Peak, employed by an intermediary, with the true instigator still unclear."

...

For an ordinary territory, many of these incidents would already be considered major catastrophes.

A wandering Legendary Realm monster could easily obliterate a territory, even if it were a city-level territory.

A newly born Nest of Filth, if not eradicated in time, could also turn vast areas into lands of death.

For Tianyuan Territory a year ago, these disasters would have been enough to threaten the stability of the territory, but now...

They were merely a breeze.

"This is the meaning of growing stronger."

"No matter the terrifying waves, I myself will crush them."

Amid such tranquility, Mu Yuan felt particularly pleased handling the trivial affairs that had gradually piled up.

He quickly stamped dozens of documents, approving the paperwork that had accumulated over the days.

Suddenly,

his assistant Mo Li reported to his office, "Lord, an issue has arisen at the Realm Passageway at the Western Border's end. The observation team reports that a large number of wild monsters have emerged there."

...

Ten Directions Island Domain, Western Extreme.

The 'Tianyuan City's Special Exploratory Team for Realm Passageways' had discovered a pathway leading to outer realms here.

Afterward, Sophia personally crossed the Realm Passageway to investigate, verifying it was an island domain sparse with monsters, but equally scarce in resources and visibly fractured Earth -- likely a worthless domain.

With plenty of areas in the Ten Directions Island Domain waiting for Tianyuan City to explore and exploit, Mu Yuan naturally had no intention to develop this seemingly barren island domain. He simply deployed several elite exploratory teams for a rudimentary survey of the domain and constructed an observation outpost in a concealed location outside the Realm Passageway.

He established outposts at the northern, southern, and eastern ends of the Realm Passageways.

Some were built overtly, while others were hidden.

The outposts couldn't detect everything; they missed the approach of the Faceless Ones at the northern outpost, which wasn't their fault.

But now, the outpost at the Western Extreme had noticed a very conspicuous situation.

"Hurry, hurry, report this immediately!"

The leader of the observation outpost was a lieutenant of Tianyuan City, Bone Seven, born from the Lord of Deathremains, who also gave himself the human name 'Bone Zero-Seven'.

Bone Zero-Seven stood on a hillock surveying the landscape. Black fog enveloped the hillock, seeming to sever it from the world. The Monster Tide spilling out from the passageway had not detected the 'scent of life' here and spread out towards more distant areas.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Adjacent was Bone Thirty-three, who said, "Quiet! I'm already reporting it~!"

In just a short moment, the warriors linked by the Spiritual Link network had a premonition.

He was coming.

Bone Zero-Seven knelt on one knee, "I welcome the arrival of Lord."

Bone Thirty-three said, "Lord, welcome to the inspection."

As Mu Yuan's Spiritual Link connected to this channel, his gaze, too, fell through the 'Rare Level Watchtower' built here.

He saw several self-made burial mounds, a massive bird's nest, along with some constructed Arrow Towers and Multishot Arrow Towers.

But his view was limited to this point, and even from a high vantage, he could not see the distant scenery -- beyond the watchtower's reach, his vision was only of a vast white expanse.

The Rare Level Watchtower's coverage spanned only a few hundred meters at best.

"Let me handle this, this is where Mr. Bird's power comes into play."

A cyan figure soared into the sky.

It rose only a few tens of meters, not beyond the range of the black fog.

Surrounded by a light cyan wind, its eyes took on the brilliant hue of azure gemstones.

The years-old Divine Skill 'Vision Sharing' transmitted via the Spiritual Link talent reached Mu Yuan thousands of kilometers away in the Tianyuan Territory.

Three perspectives appeared before Mu Yuan's eyes.

His own view; the overhead perspective of the watchtower; and the observational view of the Winged Wind King at the outpost.

Through the sharp eyes of the Winged Wind King, Mu Yuan's gaze pierced through the black fog and glimpsed the hordes of monsters thundering forward in packs.

And further off, a desolate landscape with no signs of life, the land beaten and exceptionally smooth due to the constant energy tides, empty and vast.
