Outside the Kobold tribe, Hechi and the others looked at the scene before them, feeling quite awed.
They could clearly see the changes in the Kobold tribe.
From the barrenness at the start, to the growth in numbers and establishment of order, they had seen everything grow.
During this process, they received many benefits.
Now, they were in complete awe of how the Kobold tribe had grown.
At the very least, putting aside everything else, just this Kobold army was enough to make most human rulers feel pressured.
To them, this army was an undefeatable existence.
Moreover, all of these changes had happened because of their Chief.
By now, their faith and confidence in Chen Heng was unparalleled.
Including Dilin, everyone felt that this scene was incredibly majestic, and they felt great confidence.
This was one of Chen Heng"s goals.
..........
Partners needed to give each other benefits—this was incredibly important.
Apart from this, showing one"s strength would also increase one"s companions" faith in them.
From these people"s reactions, Chen Heng had achieved his goal.
When the surroundings fell silent, Chen Heng"s expression was calm as he led the army onwards.
...
Far away, within a courtyard.
A young man sat cross-legged in a room, and looking at the sunlight from outside, he looked quite calm.
As if he sensed something, he turned and looked in a certain direction and gave a smile.
"Has it begun?" he mused, sensing the movement from Kalunu"s direction.
"My clone has begun to move."
He stood up as he looked in that direction, "Then I should begin as well."
Because they were in the same world, time pa.s.sed the same for the main body and the clone.
After one year had pa.s.sed for Kalunu, the same went for Chen Heng"s main body.
In the surroundings, the wild areas began to be turned into fields, and Chen Heng continuously took in refugees, causing them to become his subjects.
There had also been all kinds of development in other respects.
That was just the situation within the territory.
Chen Heng"s achievements in other respects were quite ordinary.
Over this past year, through Ali and Marley, resources from the Sorcerer City Aimu had continuously been sent into Chen Heng"s newly-born Hatim Territory.
Through these two people, Chen Heng had obtained large amounts of information about this world"s Sorcerer system, and he began to research it.
At least from the outside, he was already a Sorcerer, a very powerful one at that.
Everyone felt amazed that not only did Viscount Hatim have a n.o.ble bloodline, but he also had Sorcerer talent and could easily step across a threshold that was impossible for ordinary people to do.
Of course, some people believed that this was proof of awakening a Divine Bloodline. Only by awakening Divine Bloodline would one have such terrifying talent.
However, for Chen Heng, he had just revised what he had learned in the past.
Because of his experiences in the Sorcerer World, this world"s Sorcerer system was not very difficult to him.
Adding on his connection to the Mutated Creature World, which continuously provided him with divine energy, this made things even easier.
Standing there, Chen Heng looked into the distance and stretched out his hand.
Under the sunlight, his appearance was revealed.
His appearance was quite handsome and he seemed to have no flaws. Just standing there, he was like a unique scenery.
Under the sunlight, he stood there peacefully, dressed in white robes. His hair naturally fell smoothly, and he gave off an aura of dignity.
After being bathed by divine energy, Chen Heng"s body had been continuously baptised, and he had made great progress in the past year.
From this world"s standards, he had already surpa.s.sed the Second Ring, and he was at the peak of the Third Ring.
This was just his own body"s strength. If he used his divine energy, he would be at a completely different level.
In fact, within his body, his dormant Divine Bloodline had begun to awaken under the influence of his divine energy.
This Divine Bloodline originated from this body"s ancestor, and it had been pa.s.sed from the Fire G.o.d.
In the past, this bloodline had gradually woken up through the stimulation of the simulator.
At the start, this bloodline had been incredibly weak, and he could only use a portion of its power.
However, as it had been nurtured by divine energy, this Fire G.o.d"s bloodline had become more vibrant and powerful.
By now, as his bloodline had awakened even further, his blood had become different to that of ordinary people"s and contained a unique and mysterious energy.
If Sorcerers could obtain it, it would definitely be an amazing material.
However, no one else knew about these changes.
Marley and Ali very much wanted to obtain Chen Heng"s blood, but he had refused them.
After time had pa.s.sed, they had naturally given up.
However, apart from this, Chen Heng had not grown too much.
His increase in strength was mainly through pa.s.sively being affected by divine energy.
He had very little gain from active efforts.
One reason was because Chen Heng did not have much time to train or cultivate by himself.
The other was because of him splitting off part of his soul.
"It"s been more than a year already…"
Looking out, Chen Heng"s expression was calm as he muttered, "Even now, my soul has not recovered."
The time it took to restore his soul was longer than he had expected.
By now, it had been almost two years since Chen Heng had created his clone, but even now, his soul had not fully recovered.
This was partially why his strength was not growing very quickly.
Otherwise, under normal circ.u.mstances, Chen Heng"s strength would have grown much more over two years.
However, resolving this was quite simple.
He either had to wait for himself to gradually recover, or have his Kobold clone to return to him.
If his Kobold clone returned, then not only would his soul be restored, but it would become even stronger.
After all, the Kobold clone had grown to a certain extent and could immediately cause his main body to become stronger.
However, Chen Heng would not do such a thing unless he was forced to.
After all, he was not hurried to such an extent.
Moreover, the Kobold clone had only gotten started and it still had great potential.
As such, if Chen Heng wanted to restore his soul, he would have to use another method.
"Would you like to begin a simulation?"
Some words appeared.
Looking at those words, Chen Heng smiled and calmed himself down.
"It"s not time yet…" he said softly.
If he entered a simulation and was successful, he would receive the simulation body"s essence at the end.
When that time came, it would greatly make up for the damage to his soul.
However, it was too soon.
Chen Heng had not dealt with the things at hand yet, and he still had much to do.
Following this, Chen Heng silently walked out.
After one year, the town had become much more prosperous. There were many more structures, and there were people walking everywhere.
Even though the conditions were still quite simple, at least they did not have to worry about the Beastmen anymore.
Herdosiri and Lamu had been responsible for this.
By now, they had become Generals under Chen Heng"s command, and they led all of Chen Heng"s soldiers.
As for Jenri, he had become Chen Heng"s amba.s.sador, and he was responsible for contacting other n.o.bles.
Compared to Herdosiri and Lamu, Jenri was much better suited for this.
After all, he was Siriv"s son, and even though he was not his son, he was at least from the Arlan family and a native n.o.ble.
Even though Herdosiri and Lamu were also n.o.bles, just like Chen Heng, they were from the Malido Kingdom and were not familiar with the Kalo Kingdom.
As such, Jenri had a big advantage.
Moreover, he had done very well over this period of time.
He was very diligent and would always be able to do whatever Chen Heng asked him to do well. He would not have any complaints and was a very good subordinate.
By now, as the Hatim Territory had developed, some Knights who refused to settle for mediocrity came to him and joined him.
Those people often brought some followers with them.
It was because of these people that Chen Heng was able to gradually develop and reach this level.
Chen Heng walked out, and soon, he heard intense sounds of training from the distance.
Over there, some young men held swords as they trained.
It was currently noon, and the sunlight was quite intense.
The young men"s bodies were covered with sweat, and they all looked quite tired.
Despite this, no one was willing to stop, and all of them diligently trained.
These were the seeds that Chen Heng had gathered over the years.
Now, the Hatim territory had around 20,000 people.
However, including Chen Heng himself, there were only three people who could count as Knights.
Apart from Chen Heng, there were Herdosiri and Lamu.
As for the others, even though some of them had grasped life power, they could not be called Life Knights.
It was because of this situation that Chen Heng decided to change the way he did things.
He decided to personally act and tested all of the children of age in the territory, trying to find those with Knight talent to train them.
Following this, he became their teacher and taught them cultivation methods to become Life Knights.
For these people, this was a rare opportunity.
After all, even in this world, the cultivation methods for becoming a Life Knight were great secrets, and ordinary people would never be able to access them.
