Chapter 1838

If there are enough Pangu Axes, and enough territories, one could actually establish a true Territory World.

And besides one's own territory, could it also connect to other territories?

Zhao Chi clicked the sixth option.

【Please enter the target territory】

【_______】

One can input it oneself?

Could it be that just casually entering a territory name would connect it directly?

Wouldn't that start a war?

Zhao Chi did not input anything.

He'd ask Li Ruanyu later—she would surely know.

But one thing was basically certain: the Pangu Axe shard could truly establish a large, even incomparably vast, genuine Territory World.

What did that mean?

Zhao Chi wasn't sure, nor could he figure it out.

But it always felt incomprehensibly profound.

Even… terrifying.

Zhao Chi quickly gathered his thoughts and pulled his attention back.

Those things were not what Zhao Chi at his current stage could afford to think about.

What he still needed to do now was steadily improve his own strength.

Zhao Chi shook his head and canceled the use of the Pangu Axe shard.

This Pangu Axe shard definitely could not be used directly.

The area was full of newly surrendered captives; Zhao Chi wasn't sure how the Pangu Axe shard expanded the territory, but a feat like heaven-splitting and earth-clearing would surely cause a tremendous commotion.

If used rashly, it could easily cause widespread panic.

Although he wasn't afraid of these twenty-plus-thousand captives resisting, if it could be avoided, of course it should be avoided in advance.

Even if their resistance had no effect, casualties were inevitable through the Nanmian Society, and if they panicked and ran, fleeing into the mist would also be Zhao Chi's loss.

Besides, there were still several thousand slave laborers here, and over ten thousand Flower Demons.

Be as thorough as possible.

Zhuang Ya nodded after hearing Zhao Chi's words.

She extinguished the flame in her hand, then roared:

"Attention, everyone! The Lord is about to display a divine miracle. No matter what happens later, stay where you are. Do not run or move about, or be careful the heavenly thunder strikes you dead!"

Her voice was very loud.

Several thousand people nearby could hear it.

The female soldiers and female overseers on the outer perimeter heard it and relayed it loudly in turn.

Soon, everyone in Chaoge Town knew.

Truly, no one dared to move.

Even the female soldiers stood in place, staring at Zhao Chi beside Zhuang Ya.

The Flower Demons also stopped flapping their wings in flight; their two great wings folded together as they crouched on the ground, looking around.

The Ratfolk burrowed underground, leaving only their heads exposed.

The captives were even more at a loss, but they could only stay quietly in place.

Very good.

Everything was ready.

Zhao Chi activated the Pangu Axe shard once more.

Black light flowed.

Options appeared.

This time Zhao Chi directly chose: 【1. Expand current territory】

Click confirm!

In an instant, the black light on the Pangu Axe shard in Zhao Chi's hand surged violently.

The blackness became extremely dense.

The black light blotted out more than half of the nearby blazing firelight.

The entire territory immediately became incomparably dim.

But suddenly, a streak of golden light flashed from the darkness.

A colossal golden great axe appeared in the sky above.

Semi-transparent.

Like a phantom.

The next moment, the great axe came crashing down!

Crack!

A tremendous thunderclap erupted.

The entire sky instantly blazed bright.

The white fog wall at the territory's edge was split open by the explosion.

Half a second later, another tremendous roar sounded, like a mountain collapsing.

Rumble rumble rumble!!

In the distance, a purple-red bolt of fierce lightning flared.

A powerful gust of wind suddenly appeared.

The surrounding torches swayed, their flames nearly blown out.

The gale raged on.

The cracks in the fog wall grew wider and wider.

From the path ahead.

The fog walls on both sides also dissipated at tremendous speed.

Then the fog walls further out on both sides.

Before long, the fog walls across the entire territory had all vanished!

Everyone stared at the sky in panic, not daring to move a muscle.

But by now, the wind had already died down and all was calm.

The torchlight illuminated the surroundings once more, and the sky returned to stillness.

Apart from the disappearance of the fog walls around them, there was almost no other change.

As if nothing had happened at all.

Zhuang Ya asked in astonishment, "Zhao Chi, the fog walls are gone? That can't be, right?"

In truth, Zhao Chi was still deeply shaken.

He hadn't expected the Pangu Axe fragment's effect to be this overwhelming — far more dramatic than the Kunlun Mirror fragment, the Xuanü Ruler fragment, and the rest.

Truly worthy of bearing the name Pangu.

Zhao Chi shook his head. "The fog walls definitely haven't disappeared. It should be because the territory has grown larger, so the fog walls are farther away now. But there are no torches in the distance, so no one can see them."

Zhuang Ya nodded, then roared out loud: "You all saw that, didn't you? That was the divine power of our lord! Serving him is a rare chance and the supreme honor. You can choose for yourselves — resist and be burned to death slowly, or submit and become his subordinates!"

Zhuang Ya really knew how to play it.

Seizing on the moment, she immediately began "swaying their hearts."

The Pangu Axe fragment is a rare-grade item, not commonly seen.

Of course, most of these territory's people had never witnessed one.

Added to Zhuang Ya's earlier briefing, these captives truly believed Zhao Chi was displaying a divine miracle.

As expected, their submission rose quite a bit.

Even captives whose submission didn't rise at least didn't dare to resist for the moment.

Zhao Chi looked out into the surrounding darkness — he couldn't see a thing.

"Qiyue, come with me."

"Yes, my lord."
