Chapter 371 Start Of A New Era

Chapter 371 Start Of A New Era

A few months later, in the Start Sea Port: The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

A newly built port marking the beginning of the Chaotic Star Sea Era.

Leo Nova, the patriarch of the Nova family, stood in the port with his family.

He was one of the hundred thousand powerhouses chosen to initiate the Chaotic Star Sea Era.

A few hours later, after waiting, they finally saw the Holy Emperor, the one who proposed this bold plan.

"We solemnly greet the Holy Emperor!" the Imperial soldiers guarding the port shouted seriously.

As for the tier 8 individuals in the crowd, they stood silently, looking at Maximus in awe.

"It's the Holy Emperor..." Leo murmured seriously.

Leo had seen the Holy Emperor rise from a humble king to the mightiest emperor.

He remembered that he was a mere beggar back then.

If not for the resources provided by the Holy Emperor, he might have already entered reincarnation.

"At ease," Maximus said, calming down the chaotic crowd.

"Without further ado, the hundred thousand chosen individuals, please come forward."

Hearing it, Leo and the others flew toward Maximus and kneeled.

Even the powerhouses from the other three continents didn't dare to be disrespectful.

Joining the Chaotic Star Sea Plan meant they were ready pledge their allegiance to Maximus.

From now on, they would be citizens of the Moonlight Empire, following the will of the Holy Emperor.

Soon, a seed containing immense energy flew in front of them.

"This is s star seed, the proof of being a Star Lord, the land that will take you through your voyage to the chaotic sea."

Looking at the seed, Leo couldn't help but frown.

With a sweep of his consciousness, he saw a small world with a 1,000-radius of land.

Different from other small worlds filled with various resources, the small world in his hand was barren, filled with rocks and dirt.

If not for his trust in the Holy Emperor, he wouldn't think that such land could float into the chaotic sea.

Seeing their confusion, Maximus smiled.

"I can only give you a land; as for how to develop it, it's up to your will."

"As for the safety and capability of these Star Seeds, you don't have to worry."

"These Star Seeds are bound to the Curse Continent and are blessed by the World's Will."

The Star Seed can be said to be part of the Curse Continent and thus receive a blessing from the World's Will.

Although the World's Will couldn't directly interfere with the chaotic energy, it could still drive it away from the continental lands.

These continental lands are not just lands but dimensions fused to form the current Etherium realm.

The control of the World's Will in these lands was stronger, thus expelling the chaotic energy was nothing.

Maximus binded these Star Seeds to the Curse Continent through the Will fusion.

The Arcane Continent expanded the land by making their continental land an Alchemical Wonder.

The Divine Continent expanded the land by making the continental land bound by faith and God's Authority.

The Beast Continent, on the other hand, didn't expand its continent; they just made it into an impervious treasure.

Maximus couldn't imitate this measure because he didn't have time, resources, and manpower to implement it.

The Continental Land of the Curse Continent specializes in the manifestation of will.

From the Will of People, the Battle Will of Apex Sovereigns, the Amalgamation of Will, etc., it's all about the manifestation of will.

Although Maximus didn't master most of these manifestations of will, as the Holy Emperor, his will is the will of the people.

Immortality, a realm that only the Apex Sovereigns could reach.

In the Star Sea Exchange list, one could use Star Points to exchange for the Crystal of Life, a sought-after treasure that even Apex Sovereigns fought for.

Unfortunately, besides the Codexia World, there had been no other channel before now.

Seeing the Star Sea Exchange list gave them hope.

Furthermore, according to the Star Sea Code, everyone was equal in the Chaotic Star Sea.

No tier 9 beings and forces were allowed here.

Maximus didn't accept any of these cheaters that would ruin the game.

With their resources, strength, and manpower, once they joined the Chaotic Star Sea Plan, they would monopolize all the resources.

They might even erode his authority, replacing the belief of the people with theirs.

Although Maximus could prevent it, there was no need to trouble himself; he simply cut off its source.

Without absolute guarantee, he wouldn't let these tier 9 forces join in the fun.

...

A year later, on Nova Island:

Leo was still instructing his clansmen when he suddenly received a message from his Star Mark.

The Star Mark is the mark of each Star Lord, similar to the Moonlight Empire system but for Star Lords.

[One Year Passed...]

[Assessment Begins...]

[Population Quantity... Slight Increase...]

[Population Quality... Slight Increase...]

[Island Income... None]

[Island Construction... Tier 4 Island]

[Resources Found... None]

[Defeated Star Lords... None]

[Overall Assessment Rating: C]

Note: A fledgling Star Lord who didn't leave the beginner zone but still made some progress.

Reward: 100,000 Star Points]

"Huh~ I still got a C!" Leo muttered with a smile.

Leo was one of the thousands who still hadn't left the beginner zone.

He thought that he would get an E or F assessment rating at most; he didn't expect it to reach a C rating.

Different from the rest, Leo not only took his family to the island but also persuaded people from the Moonlight Empire to live on the island.

Along with a generous birth policy, there was a slight increase in population quantity and quality.

The population increase could only be the people born on the island, not the original citizens of the empire.

This measure was to prevent others from buying and selling population, which is detrimental in the long run.

One needed to be a meticulous Star Lord who had citizens in mind or generous enough that the people on the island were willing to give birth.

Opening the Star Exchange Platform, Leo bought a Tier 4 crystal vein.

[Tier 4 Crystal Vein: Could power a Tier 4 island, could slightly power a Tier 5 island.

Price: 100,000 Star Points.]

Seeing the crystal vein silently merge through his island, a smile appeared on his face.

"We can finally begin our voyage!"
