Chapter 170: Nation-Building Plan! [Seeking Recommendation Votes]

Author: Floating Tower
In the boundless Astral Realm.
An Iron Fortress of the Gisz Yanki docked on the outskirts of Clockwork Nirvana, and then a team of fully armed soldiers disembarked.
At the border of Clockwork Nirvana, a Tower Spirit was already waiting, accompanied by several Iron Golems. As the Gisz approached, the Tower Spirit stepped forward and said, “Welcome to your arrival.”
“I am Tower Spirit No. 7.”
“I am responsible for assisting Lord Soren in receiving this batch of supplies. The subsequent invoice will be provided to you.”
No further words were necessary.
These Gisz were precisely those who had been looted by Soren; no one dared to casually default on a deity’s debts, especially not one with a notorious reputation as an Evil God.
This was the second batch of goods from the Gisz, and to repay the debts owed to Soren, they had recently plundered quite a few places. Fortunately, Soren had also granted them some benefits, such as rewards that only certain deities could bestow. Soren did not need these Gisz to be utterly devoted, just that they return what they owed him.
The Gisz Yanki Leader nodded and then signaled the soldiers nearby to unload the materials.
Watching the hard-earned goods pass into the hands of the Tower Spirit, its expression showed a hint of pain, yet thinking of that terrifying Evil God, it ultimately decided to deliver the goods honestly.
Meanwhile.
At the back of the mechanical realm, Tower Spirit No. 1 was calculating the next batch of delivery goods.
“How many Iron Golems have been completed in this batch?”
“About one hundred and twenty.”
“Alright. Then let’s send them to Modo City first. The turmoil in the Material Plane seems to be escalating. Are these Undead planning to kill all the living?”
“Who cares about them!”
“After all, we are Construct Life.”
The production capacity of Modo City was still limited. To increase the number of Iron Golems, Soren had commissioned the Tower Spirits to assist in manufacturing. As unrest gradually intensified, the channels for obtaining Soul Crystals increased, and Modo City could now produce a vast number of Iron Golems.
Tower Spirit No. 1 glanced at the list and stated, “Deliver one hundred Iron Golems and ten Diamond Golems.”
“It seems Lord Soren has harvested a considerable amount of diamonds.”
“This third batch of orders is primarily for Diamond Golems. Could it be that he found a diamond planet in the Astral Realm?”
The Tower Spirit beside did not reply.
In fact, most Construct Life was rather dull, even more so than demons.
……
Modo City.
After another outbreak of the Plague, Soren finally found it hard to remain still.
Not only he but other deities too were restless. They could somewhat ignore the lives of mortals, but what about the souls of the believers that were tied to the foundation of the Divine Kingdom?
The God of War finally took action.
After enduring for so long, the War Church’s clergy initiated the first cleansing of the Undead, and his Apostolic Legion also entered the Lower Planes to ensure the River of Underworld connected to the God of War’s Divine Kingdom would not be disturbed.
The River of Underworld was like a blood vessel.
It had grown from a small stream to spread across the Multiverse, and with the increasing population, many souls were no longer personally guided but relied on the River of Underworld for transport. This was the agreement set by the deities; the God of Death was responsible for counting and collecting souls and ultimately delivering them to the kingdoms of the gods. However, with Klanvor having lost control over the Underworld, this agreement naturally became void.
The gods’ first thought was to ensure their believers’ souls could return to the Divine Kingdom before considering any concerns for others.
One must admit, the gods were selfish too.
The War Church’s Legion cleansed the Undead in the southwestern part of the continent while gathering a large number of Adventurers to eliminate the Undead.
Once a deity with Strong Divine Power took action, it was certainly a grand affair!
As the power controlled by the God of War was unleashed, it quickly gathered a large number of Melee Professionists, while the Goddess of Strategy also cooperated, seemingly preparing to sweep the Undead from the southwestern plains.
*Thud, thud, thud.*
A sound of footsteps approached.
Then Gloria’s figure appeared in the room. She walked over holding a document and slightly furrowed her brow as she glanced at Soren’s expression, then said, “Are you planning to build a nation?”
Soren raised his head.
He gazed at Gloria’s beautiful face, then gently waved his hand. Gloria obediently walked over and sat on Soren’s lap, allowing him to reach into her robe and hold a gradually developing fullness. His seemingly magical fingers made her face flush, and her breath became slightly hurried without her noticing.
Soren seemed to be deep in thought and lowered his head, saying, “Hmm.”
Gloria returned to her senses and adjusted her breathing, asking, “Why Adele Isabella?”
“If a nation is built on the Southern Coast, what will happen to Modo City?”
Gloria’s thought process remained very clear, even though she felt shocked upon learning this matter.
Soren fiddled with the bud and slowly said, “Firstly, Adele Isabella carries the bloodline of Queen Isabella; secondly, she is the nominal lord of Spearwind Hills. No one in Modo City is more suitable than her to minimize controversy.”
“The Southern Coast is one thing.”
“Nation-building on the Southern Coast has little to do with Modo City; this is merely a pretext for reasonable expansion. Everything will still operate as before.”
Gloria took a deep breath and said, “Is the choice of her not because she has served you?”
Serve.
Of course, not the kind of service due to following a deity, but a different type of service between men and women.
Soren shook his head, “Do you think I’m such an easily influenced person?”
Finally, Gloria felt relieved.
She leaned in and pecked Soren’s face, gently saying, “Then do what you plan to do. I will always stand by your side.”
In reality.
Soren had handed her the document, and she felt a lot more at ease in her heart.
However, there were still matters to address. The two princesses of Arendelle had already made her somewhat vigilant. Gloria thought she should fight for a bit more for herself and her mother.
……
Before Soren was a huge piece of land.
It outlined the geographical structure of the entire southern continent, with the red dot marking the location of Spearwind Hills.
“Adele Isabella.”
Soren pondered, speaking to himself: “Bloodline of Queen Isabella. Since the Arcane Empire, the Material Plane has rarely seen powerful empires. If Adele Isabella secretly establishes a kingdom, then the entire Southern Coast from Deepwater City south to the borders of Rosad Duchy could be considered the homeland of Queen Isabella.”
“Divide the secular world and maintain the purity of Modo City.”
“Leverage secular power to strengthen Modo City, using the council to control Modo City and ensure that the direction of Modo City’s influence on him is minimized.”
“In the future.”
“Even if Modo City succumbs to corruption, as a deity, I can easily purify Modo City from top to bottom.”

(PS: First update. I have some matters to attend to lately and need to sort out the outline. The following part is very important.) (To be continued ~^~)
