After twenty years…
Although twenty years might not be a long time, anyone watching Hye and his Heaven Kingdom would feel like two hundred years passed.
The new world was massive, and it was the home for hundreds of continents. Once the entire apocalypse ended, lots of portals started to appear during the next month, bringing tons of common people from different races.
These weren't warriors, they were just normal people who lived normal lives. They got nothing to do with the brutal wars except for them belonging to the races which took part in.
Hye didn't mistreat them, didn't hold them accountable for anything. He and his kingdom absorbed these folks, and many started to select continents to be their new homes.
The war ended with lots of deep scars and many leftovers. Be it shields, defensive buildings, dead bodies, and even holes and grooves in the ground… There were too many imprints that took many months to clear.
Then the entire world ushered under a grand period of construction. Tons of cities, towns, and villages were established. And during this period, Isac and Karoline selected the capable race members based on different criteria, took them into the second Earth world, and let them flourish there.
All of the nineteen race members joined there as well, all except for the jumper race. Those folks got the real wrath of Hye, ended up working as the lowest in the entire kingdom, serving others and doing various dirty works.
This ended up with many resetting their lives and restarting again. In the end, almost all of those cowards vanished during the third year, and that made Hye feel more comfortable.
He hated this race and how they used to act and behave. They were opportunistic, arrogant and selfish bastards who didn't want to risk anything and gain everything in return.
One jumper was enough for Hye to deal with. Not to mention this dude vanished without a trace. Hye tried to look for his old friend but ended up getting nothing back.
The projects of construction weren't just limited to the new world, the Grand Earth. Hye made sure the second Earth would also enjoy the same kind of treatment, especially for the second level of the pocket world.
Yet by the tenth year, it was obvious the two worlds weren't enough for Hye's ambitious plans. The latter wanted to rise up and level his kingdom, a mission that proved to be much harder than what he initially thought.
He asked Silverlining about the process to control more worlds, and the answer he received was much worse than what he expected.
There were just three ways to gain new worlds, two of which Hye already experienced. One was to find a random planet, inhabit it, and control it using one's might. This was similar to the second Earth world. Yet these worlds were rare, extremely rare in the universe.
Most if not all of the known planets and systems in the universe were already controlled for long years by the old races and empires. As for any new planet, it was either well-hidden like the second Earth world or was just newly formed.
And the latter would garnish anyone taking it a huge pressure, one that was so hard to deal with.
On the other hand, the safest method was to win the world through apocalyptic trials. That was why all the races were taking part in these.
Spending hundreds of years wasn't a big issue, even losing many trials wasn't. When a big race had thousands of legions taking part in thousands of trials at the same time, losing hundreds of them wasn't a big deal. While winning a few would add lots of worlds to any race and empire.
Hye realised how weak and limited in his options he was. According to Silverlining, the bare minimum requirements to ensure a race's chances in competing over any trial was almost one third of Hye's kingdom's current military forces and resources.
That meant the most Hye could take part in were just three trials. And the chances of winning weren't that high to begin with. Not to mention the long time before any trial would be over didn't make it worthy in his eyes.
The last method was by invading any world directly, crushing their military might, killing their rulers and royal families, taking control over the entire world and then defending it.
The process to travel towards any world wasn't easy to begin with. Not to mention any world had a strong garrison protecting it, a dense net of portals that linked it to other planets and armies allied with the owners of this planet.
It was like what Hye thought before, yet few grades worse than that. He thought taking any world wasn't going to be hard, but keeping it was. Yet from the words of Silverlining, he knew the task of taking any world was more brutal and cruller than what he initially thought.
Knowing this made Hye focus more on a few aspects. For example, he pushed his research department to work on full cylinders. He supported them with everything they needed, expanded the department, and made them focus on mass producing the deadly weapons of their and develop much deadlier ones.
He also stressed over the need to make the deadly bombs Hye struggled to deactivate at the last war. The research department already got samples of these, knew the rough idea about how to make them, and yet it took them roughly seven years to crack the right method to do it.
Even when Hye provided lots of bones to them, they still couldn't crack the mystery until years later.
