Chapter 1035

"Nowadays—"

"The number of true gods in the Thunder Dynasty has exceeded fifteen thousand."

"Perhaps—"

"I could also establish a Shangcheng."

Li Yue walked through the massive 'Wanhai Tiancheng,' thinking to himself.

Collecting trade taxes—

This is undoubtedly one of the most powerful wealth-gathering methods in the Infinite Void.

Of course—

But fifteen thousand true gods is still far too few.

But—

He had some things in his possession that, if revealed, would certainly attract a large number of true gods.

As long as he gained popularity.

Then the Shangcheng would flourish, bringing him vast amounts of divine power.

A one-thousandth trade tax.

If annual transaction volume reached ten million drops of divine power—

Then—

He could earn over ten thousand drops of divine power in a year, just by lying down!

And a thriving Shangcheng.

Its annual transaction volume—

Would naturally far exceed ten million drops of divine power.

"A Shangcheng must have core competitiveness."

"Perhaps—"

"After I cultivate the Golden Apple."

"I could try using the core of the Golden Apple to grow a 'Silver Apple Tree.'"

Li Yue's eyes flickered.

The Silver Apple, though far less potent than the Golden Apple,

Was still an extremely precious item.

It could greatly enhance the cultivation potential of true gods.

And it was far less conspicuous than the Golden Apple.

In the Infinite Void,

There were already several Silver Apple Trees.

And even more Copper Apple Trees existed at the next lower tier.

"In addition—"

"The demonic puppets of the Demon Puppet Divine Temple could also be sold—"

He murmured inwardly.

The demonic puppets of the Demon Puppet Divine Temple.

Every one hundred twenty-five years, they could produce four Golden Semi-God-tier demonic puppets.

And puppets of this power level—

To be honest,

He no longer paid them much mind.

Even if the puppets could still produce Lower True God-tier demonic puppets,

He still didn't care much.

After all—

Next,

As long as he could cultivate the Golden Apple—

Then his followers in the Xintudou Society—

Would experience a surge of True God-tier cultivators!

Compared to demonic puppets—

They were incomparably stronger.

But—

He didn't care about demonic puppets.

Yet vast numbers of Lower True Gods, even Middle True Gods—

Would fight desperately to get them!

Golden Semi-God-tier follower combat power.

No one would ever have too many!

Each additional one—

Could significantly increase the chances of victory in the Followers' Divine War!

And the outcome of the Followers' Divine War—

Often determined the life-and-death fate of true gods.

No one could afford to ignore it.

……

Wanhai Tiancheng lives up to its name as the city built by the Lord of the Ten Thousand Seas.

In terms of prosperity—

it is far more bustling than the Morning Star Divine Cities established by the Lord of the Four Seasons.

Massive avenues stretch across east, west, south, and north.

Sacred shops hang in midair, radiating boundless light.

In every corner,

powerful Mid-Realm True Gods hold their posts, their presence devouring ten thousand miles like a tiger.

Endless divine light surges.

Beyond the heavens, in the void, infinite energy rages, sweeping across more than ten thousand li.

Moreover—

within the entire Tiancheng, countless magical runes are densely woven.

A terrifying pressure bears down, causing any True God who enters—

to have their power suppressed significantly.

Even someone as strong as Li Yue

felt his divine body grow heavy, his strength suppressed by roughly forty percent.

"It seems,"

"the Lord of the Ten Thousand Seas must be far stronger than the Lord of the Four Seasons."

Li Yue murmured inwardly.

This is only natural.

After all—

the Lord of the Ten Thousand Seas alone rules the Northern Sea Divine Domain, the true master of the Northern Sea.

Whereas the Lord of the Four Seasons—

is merely one of the three Upper-Realm True Gods of the Ice and Fire Corridor.

Though perhaps the most ancient Upper-Realm True God and possibly the strongest in power,

he still does not match the might of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Seas, who alone dominates an entire domain.

True Gods—

often,

rely not only on talent but also on resources.

And what are resources?
