Invincible Divine Destiny Selection System-Chapter 1130 - Reclamation Four More Updates

Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: Reclamation [Four More Updates] Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: Reclamation [Four More Updates] Mountains rose dramatically, their forms overlapping, with no end in sight, a blood-red aura saturating the land.

Everything within the Ancient Blood Mine was tinged with the color of blood.

“Your Majesty, this is the mining area controlled by the Ming Cang Divine Kingdom.”

An elderly man, trembling and cowering, approached Chu Yuan.

He was not a person of the Divine Dynasty but was a captive after the downfall of the Ming Cang Divine Kingdom. They had kept him because he had visited the mine multiple times, allowing him to provide the empire with mining experience in the ancient mine.

“Provide good experience, and you will be freed from your captive status; accumulate enough contributions and you may become a citizen of the Divine Dynasty,” War God said.

“Indeed there’s a rich aura of Divine Blood.”

Chu Yuan surveyed the mining area.

Many places had numerous mining tunnels, remnants of past extractions, but after the collapse of Ming Cang, without strong figures to guard, many things here had been completely plundered by others.

“There were many slaves in the mining area, but these slaves must have either fled or been captured by others.”

The old man, named Zhuo Yan, observed, “This mining area has been exploited for thousands of years, probably a large portion of the ore has been removed, what remains is difficult to mine, especially at the edges of the Ancient Blood Mine where several other areas are controlled by different forces.”

Although the Ancient Blood Mine was vast, not many places could be called mining areas, especially in this relatively barren edge.

“Let me see this mining area.”

Chu Yuan’s gaze pierced the void and entered a mine tunnel, walking in slowly. He struck the rock wall with his palm, and it did not shatter, merely shaking a few times.

One should know that although he hadn’t used Divine Abilities, the strength contained in his mana was enormous.

“It’s the ever-present Divine Blood aura within the mine that neutralized my power.”

Chu Yuan said, “The stronger the Divine Blood aura, the more difficult it is to mine. Many places can only be slowly excavated, greatly consuming mental and mana efforts, which is a troublesome aspect.”

He walked to the end of the mine tunnel.

Raising his hand, he executed a Heavenly Hand technique, shattering the path ahead. With a loud crash, giant rocks split open, revealing a passage of ten thousand meters, and suddenly, a blood-colored bloodstone nearly ten meters in size appeared.

“A ten thousand meter passage and there’s only one stone that can really be called an ore; it’s me now, but if the Sovereign were to dig, it would take a very long time.”

Chu Yuan realized the difficulty of mining Divine Bloodstone.

“Your Majesty, these stones are also valuable. Although scarce in content, when gathered in large numbers, a bit of Blood Crystal can also be refined.”

Zhuo Yan hastily said.

“Expel the other roaming forces from this mining area. War God, I entrust this matter to you.”

Chu Yuan said, “Use this as the foundation of the Divine Dynasty within the Ancient Blood Mine, gradually spread out, place those captured Hell captives in various mines, execute those who disobey directly, record contributions for each piece mined to motivate them; Zhuo Yan, you are familiar with the mine, you assist. Perform well and there will be rewards.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Zhuo Yan knelt down, respectfully said, “Mining the ancient mine requires a lot of manpower. Currently, this mining area is not very dangerous, as it was flattened by Ming Cang over thousands of years of mining, but this also means there isn’t much left in this mining area; tough labor is needed.”

“Two threats must be faced when mining here: one is natural disasters, some places might suddenly burst with Divine Blood aura, forming various Divine Blood beasts, though this phenomenon is more frequent in areas that have never been touched.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuan nodded slightly.

The so-called Divine Blood beasts are not real beasts, but a mix of an overly intense Divine Blood aura and an ancient, never-dissipating resentment, gathering together. The richer the resources of the area, the stronger the entities.

“And here, we must face the conquest of other forces. After all, good mining areas are rare, and everyone covets them, not to mention some mining bandits specifically targeting the pillage of Divine Stones.”

Zhuo Yan said,

“In summary, this place is too dangerous. Those without strength who dare to mine in the ancient mine are simply seeking death.”

“Mine robbers?”

Chu Yuan’s expression flickered slightly, “I’m afraid some of the mine robbers are actually forces backed by powerful entities. They dare not appear openly but use such tactics in the dark. Heavenly Hand must have used them as well.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Zhuo Yan said, “Sometimes, a single robbery by mine robbers can yield more than a millennium of mining, inevitably leading to impersonation. Hence, the environment within the mine is mixed, and one needs strength to establish a foothold.”

“This region alone is not enough, I need to open up some Barbaric Areas.”

Chu Yuan knew that the Barbaric Area represented both opportunities and unpredictable dangers, but it was necessary.

At the moment, Chu Yuan delegated the tasks.

The local scattered forces were all expelled by them, taking over the mine area and once again stirring up activity within various veins, with a large number of captured prisoners put to work.

Mining is hard labor, Mana was all used up for mining, leaving no chance for cultivation.

And the War God’s soldiers needed to maintain order and search for new mining areas, now they could only rely on these prisoners for mining.

“Although mining is tough, this place is actually a good training ground. Aside from capturing a large number of prisoners, the civilians of Divine Path can also come here to train in dual aspects.”

Chu Yuan said, “However, these measures can only be implemented once Divine Path has firmly established itself and stabilized.”

A block of ore is measured as four-sided, each side being a zhang in length.

After arriving at the Ancient Blood Mine, it took Chu Yuan half a month to dig up just over twenty blocks, and even a year might not yield a thousand blocks.

It seemed like a lot, but considering how much effort Chu Yuan had invested here, and considering the supply replenishment and the time for transit back to Divine Path, it wasn’t much.

However, Chu Yuan wasn’t concerned about the current gains.

He now needed to establish a base at the Ancient Blood Mine. As Divine Path’s power grew, it would gradually expand.

Controlling the channels to acquire such productive materials crucial for cultivation was undoubtedly of utmost importance.

“This vein is still too barren.”

Chu Yuan shook his head.

Here was a safe place, but safety meant limited gains.

“Your Majesty, actually, I know a place with abundant resources.”

Zhuo Yan kneeled before Chu Yuan, looking up at his majestic emperor.

“Speak.”

“Yes, actually, Heavenly Hand had already begun to mine there when he was alive. It’s a newly discovered area, but extremely dangerous. At that time, to clear the land there, many fell, even a Sovereign.”

Zhuo Yan honestly said, “But the yield was great. In a month’s time, they mined several hundred blocks just from exploring half of it. The great war then broke out, and we had to retreat unwillingly. Your Majesty also knows what happened afterward.”

A region still being cleared.

Clearing land is always the most dangerous, resulting in the highest casualties, but the benefits are substantial too.

“In a month, several hundred blocks were obtained, indeed richer than this place, so it seems I cannot miss out there.”

Chu Yuan said, “War God, gather the men.”
