Chapter 1490: Great Expansion of the Immortal Gate Realm Domain
In that year, the Immortal Gate Central Army Group achieved a great victory, completely annihilating the Ancient God Alliance coalition.
The Ancient God Alliance has thoroughly become a noun, a history, unable to block the light of civilization and the Righteous Dao spreading from the Immortal Gate to the realms between worlds.
From this, the Immortal Gate
entered the Great Expansion Era!
Starting from the Demon Heaven Realm, the Immortal Gate left its original Ten Realms territory, advancing toward the Ten Thousand Races Alliance Realm Group and the Nine Immortal Sect Realm Group of the Ancient God Realm, continuously expanding the Immortal Gate's living space.
Expanding, always expanding, until reaching the limit!
This is an unprecedented golden age; the Ancient God Alliance's field army was annihilated in the Realm Wars, and the remnants can no longer pose a significant threat to the Immortal Gate.
They do not even dare to conduct guerrilla warfare, terrified to the extreme.
The Immortal Gate's expansion will face no difficulty whatsoever.
Now, the only thing hindering the Immortal Gate's expansion remains one thing: the vast expanse of the Realm Space!
Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie, Demon Heaven Realm.
After seeing off the Immortal Gate Central Army Group fleet, Jiang Ding sat cross-legged within the World Array, eyes closed, cultivating.
He did not participate in the expedition because he had more important matters: establishing an Immortal Gate Realm Research Center in the Demon Heaven Realm to lead the development of various Immortal Dao technologies, involving projects such as Dao-Integration Level Gong Fa, Star-Level Warships, Quasi-Heavenly Human Level Arrays, and the Heavenly Human Realm.
Additionally, he was responsible for garrisoning the Ten Realms and sweeping away the remaining Ancient God Alliance forces in the Ten Realms.
In fact, this work has already begun; the Ninth Front Army has been transferred over and is currently sweeping the four directions. It is estimated that completing the actual control of all Minor Thousand Worlds, establishing primary industrial bases, completing industrial planning for each Minor Thousand World, and truly integrating the Ten Realms' Minor Thousand Worlds into the Immortal Gate's industrial mass production system will take five hundred years.
"Establish a Demon Heaven University..."
Jiang Ding muttered to himself.
Due to his past life experiences, he spent most of his time working within the Immortal Gate education system; thus, members of the Far-Reach Political Council regarded him as the person in charge of the education system and have consistently assigned him many affairs in this area.
In future plans, every Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie will have an Immortal Gate University.
The Immortal Gate University admits only Immortal Gate College Entrance Examination citizens and adult re-education citizens.
An entire Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie serves as the campus scope; only citizens can enter the Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie. Cultivators outside the citizenry must undergo layers of approval before entering to work here, and their numbers are extremely scarce.
"The number of citizens is insufficient."
"Could it be necessary to develop all nine planets of the Solar System into life-bearing planets?"
"It is not impossible. Using five thousand years to increase the mother planet's population to a hundred trillion might satisfy the
talent shortage in the dozens of realms of the Ancient God Realm..."
Jiang Ding wrote and drew on the proposal.
Citizens are the cornerstone; this is inevitable. Only populations born on the mother planet naturally possess citizenship rights. The Immortal Gate's population growth has become a certainty.
"There is a shortage of university presidents. We can recall Immortal Gate education talents like Master Master Dinghai from the front lines. Now, the Immortal Gate has two centers: war and construction. Both are equally important..."
Jiang Ding spent several months writing a massive proposal, then handed it to the Immortal Gate Education Department to check for gaps and fill them. After confirming no issues, it was submitted to the Immortal Gate Political Council.
Upon receiving the Immortal Gate Political Council's approval, this proposal will be implemented.
This procedural process will likely take ten years to conclude.
Do not complain about the slowness; this is already lightning speed.
This is a massive plan involving ten or even more realms, thousands of Minor Thousand Worlds, and countless billions of people, gathering vast amounts of heavenly treasures and population, and even relating to the Immortal Gate's future growth. How could it not be treated with utmost seriousness?
Every procedure must be reviewed and revised repeatedly; it is impossible for a single Great Sun Councilor to propose a plan and decide everything with one word.
This is a strategic plan requiring the cooperation of the entire Immortal Gate, top to bottom, to implement.
While Jiang Ding pondered these matters, the Immortal Gate Ninth Front Army had already begun operations, sweeping away rebel forces in the Ten Realms. As the political center, the Demon Heaven Realm actually had few troops, only hundreds of thousands of administrative officials.
However, no one would be foolish enough to come and attack the place guarded by the Great Sun Sword Master.
After finishing his administrative duties, Jiang Ding unfolded the Great Sun Dayang Dayang Tianchi and fell into cultivation.
He extracted the Taqing Flying Sword from between his eyebrows, pouring his spiritual sense and sword intent into the sword body to examine it carefully, especially the Great Sun Divine Seals.
Currently, the Taqing Flying Sword still appears as a newly promoted Dao-Integration Treasure, possessing ten Great Sun Rule Divine Seals, making it a Dao-Integration Level Lower Grade Rule Treasure.
"The Sun Sword Sacrifice Art..."
Jiang Ding recalled this Sword Sacrifice Art and felt a headache in his mind.
This Upper Realm Sword Sacrifice Art relies on many unique materials of the Upper Realm, specifically Seventh-Grade Heavenly Treasures, which can only be obtained in the Upper Realm; he has none here.
The local-adapted Great Sun Sword Sacrifice Art is currently under development, created by Jiang Ding himself. The Great Sun Sword Pavilion inheritance has reached its peak; the path ahead relies entirely on him to clear the way.
"It will likely take a thousand years for the Great Sun Sword Sacrifice Art to be unveiled..."
Jiang Ding sighed slightly.
However, this period will naturally not be wasted.
All sword cultivators possess a profession-specific Sword Sacrifice Art: slaying powerful enemies in sword duels and refining and sacrificing their opponents' treasures. This is actually a more efficient Sword Sacrifice Art, with no major flaws except for the high risk of death.
Coincidentally, Jiang Ding had previously slain some
Dao-Integration Divine Lords; their treasures serve as excellent refining materials and should be usable for several thousand years.
"Starting with the Nether Ghost Divine Lord."
Jiang Ding's expression remained calm as he took out a segment of a dark blue finger bone to begin refining, merging it into the Taqing Flying Sword to sacrifice the eleventh Great Sun Rule Divine Seal.
It is estimated that he will need to spend twenty thousand years to refine the Taqing Flying Sword to the Dao-Integration peak.
If his own foundation and background strengthen and his sword technique achieves a major breakthrough, the speed will increase further, drawing him closer to the Heavenly Human realm.
Time flowed leisurely.
Unknowingly, five hundred years had passed.
This year, the Immortal Gate completely completed the occupation of the eighteen realms of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance. The past Ten Realms had completed actual control, construction, and production, providing the Immortal Gate with vast amounts of heavenly treasures every year.
The Immortal Gate's expansion did not stop.
The next step is to march toward the Jiudaxian Sect domain cluster of the Ancient Divine Domain, a journey taking over two thousand years, after which they will arrive at the Jiudaxian Sect domain cluster of the Ancient Divine Domain to complete the sweep.
"Very smooth."
"The elders and others did not encounter any obstruction from the Badaxian Sect."
Jiang Ding awoke from seclusion and unfolded before him a star map of the Ancient Divine Domain world cluster.
At the center of the Ancient Divine Domain world cluster, shrouded in a veil of black mist, lay the former entrance of the Ancient Divine Dao, the three Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie surrounding it, and the current Wan Zu Meng world cluster where Jiang Ding was located.
In the western star region, separated from the Wan Zu Meng world cluster by a journey of roughly two thousand years, lay the Jiudaxian Sect world cluster of the Ancient Divine Domain.
One point to note: among the Jiudaxian Sect of the Ancient Divine Domain, the Youming Sword Cave Heaven was only a few hundred years' journey from the Wan Zu Meng world cluster; the sword cultivation sects seemed isolated.
In the eastern star region lay the Yao Shen Sect world cluster, a distance of approximately fifteen thousand years' journey from the Wan Zu Meng world cluster.
Of course, all this refers to pure travel without the aid of long-range domain teleportation arrays; if it were not for the central fleet of the Immortal Gate conglomerate, but rather a He Dao cultivator making the trip, even doubling the time would be normal.
Such is the terrifying spatial distance between domains.
The Ancient Divine Domain world cluster is still within the scope of a single world cluster; if the destination were farther, it might take tens of thousands or even a hundred thousand years to travel. A He Dao sect traveling would never reach another life-filled star region, even if they sailed until death.
