I understand,\" Rei replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sea of Fire and Dense Thorns manifested around the ant hill, forming a circular perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment any black ant hatched—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was immediately burned to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the foreseeable future, he could simply come here regularly to harvest souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what’s the plan now?\" Akasei asked, grinning as he clasped his hands behind his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you thinking, Akasei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei rolled up his sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously—we keep clearing dungeons!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On my way out earlier, I took a quick look at the surrounding terrain. I’ve already memorized all the Fourth-Tier dungeons nearby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the issue of soul supply solved, the weight in his chest finally felt lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them exited the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping out, Akasei tossed a blacksteel gate over the entrance, then took out a scroll and sealed the area completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz’s scrolls really were incredibly useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrolls allowed people who couldn’t use magic to still cast spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of a scroll depended entirely on who crafted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrolls left behind by Iz Parult were probably impossible to purchase on the open market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the place was securely sealed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei and Akasei set out again, clearing dozens more dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Thousand-Legion Ant Hill served as his safety net, Rei could sacrifice souls far more boldly than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he had always worried about running out of souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While weaker monsters would increase in number after sacrifices,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the returns still rarely justified the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whenever they encountered a Fourth-Tier dungeon, Rei would immediately sacrifice 50,000 souls in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the efficiency decayed, it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had souls to spare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had tried sacrificing 100,000 souls once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the diminishing returns were simply too severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only produced twelve Catastrophe-Class monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double the sacrifice...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet only two additional monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That trade-off was far too wasteful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming out with Akasei had absolutely been the right decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rei had fought these Fourth-Tier Catastrophe monsters himself, he would have been exhausted to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with a Level 6 warrior leading the charge—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei’s job was simply to follow behind and collect the profits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person opened the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other farmed the rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect division of labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they had completely swept through every Fourth-Tier dungeon in the Thousand-Cavern Expanse of the Remote Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they cleared fifty-six Fourth-Tier dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials they collected were worth over 120 million gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Split evenly between the two—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>each walked away with 60 million gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Holy hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei stared at his storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with mountains of materials stacked endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re seriously rich now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, adventurers could search for months without even encountering a single Catastrophe-Class monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were harvesting ten at a time in a single trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, in remote wilderness areas, wild Fourth-Tier or Fifth-Tier monsters could occasionally appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even Lord-Class monsters were extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone Catastrophe-Class ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Catastrophe monsters were incredibly dangerous to humanity—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were also incredibly hard to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Fifth-Tier dungeons were difficult to locate under normal circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Rei visited several Third-Tier dungeons to test some new ideas using soul sacrifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul sacrifices could actually enhance monsters directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>once enhanced, the monsters weren’t under his control, and the enhancement couldn’t directly raise their tier or grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rewards didn’t increase either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was basically like casting a berserk buff on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, it seemed pretty useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the Thousand-Legion Ant Hill, they also encountered several War-Month exclusive monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of them possessed abilities as unique as the ant hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several rounds of experimentation—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sun slowly began to set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to be honest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this had probably been the most satisfying hunting day Akasei had ever experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it wasn’t Harvest Month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their gains might have multiplied several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei shared the same sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you had experienced Harvest Month,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was impossible to forget that feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting together on a hillside, the two looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celebrate a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should collect the souls first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei brought Rei back to the sealed cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei opened the sealed gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a dense swarm of black ants surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame Surge blasted inward instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sea of Fire clung to every inch of the cave entrance, spreading deeper into the chamber and scorching everything inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul count skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had sacrificed 2.8 million souls across the fifty-six Fourth-Tier dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>within just a few moments, it was all replenished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Souls — 10,000,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Souls — 20,000,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Souls — 30,000,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Souls — 35,220,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a short time, over thirty million black ants had already been born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand-Legion Ant Hill truly lived up to its reputation as a Catastrophe-Class monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If allowed to develop freely in the outside world for a while—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it could produce hundreds of millions of ants, forming a sky-darkening swarm that would devour entire nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while the quantity of these ants was enormous,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their quality was extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest ants it produced were only Third-Tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if it could produce even higher-tier ants,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that would be terrifying beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference in strength between Fourth-Tier and Third-Tier monsters was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still... doesn’t the monster tide in this area seem thinner again?\" Rei asked while looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei gazed up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... who would’ve thought the Thousand-Legion Ant Hill had this kind of side effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe that’s actually a good thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a region’s monster tide became too dense,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>placing the Thousand-Legion Ant Hill there could convert the tide into low-tier ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could also prevent the monster tide from condensing into powerful monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would that be called?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biological pest control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, once the monster tide became thinner, the ant hill’s production speed slowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this was the wildlands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monster tides replenished themselves quickly—almost like air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much reason to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it kept producing ants,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the output would never truly become slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next few days, harvesting hundreds of millions of souls should be effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The souls of these black ants were classified as:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nearly Puppet-Like Vacant Spirituality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was probably the lowest possible tier of soul quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei experimented by not triggering his Noble Soul conversion, using only their original soul quality to ignite Soul Explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing exploded in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a silent fart—not even a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he used Noble Soul conversion, a 1-soul Soul Explosion could snap the trunk of a large tree in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of power, it was actually stronger than most normal Second-Tier spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 souls only produced five times the power of 1 soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100 souls produced roughly twenty-five times the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1,000 souls produced around seventy-five times the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5,000 souls produced only about 150 times the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although using more souls did increase the power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the diminishing returns were painfully obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, there were still many intricacies in how souls could be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an ordinary Death Priest wanted to explore these mysteries...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many people would they have to kill just to conduct experiments?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Souls collected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seal restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow, he would come back to harvest another batch of fresh souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finally returned to the City Within the Circle, Rei stretched his body lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today had truly been...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>an enormous harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want to unlock up to 60+ early-access Chapters and exclusive novels and NFSW CONTENT ALSO?
