One year passed. Mike had finally finished planting the Black Dragon’s clones. Under his control, these clones formed a line underground, forming a barrier. Divine power flowed within, the originally shaky Northern Region also gradually stabilized.

Mike stood in midair, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction. Suddenly, some figures appeared before his eyes. He could not help but frown. They were a group of miners. They were dressed in the clothes of an unknown faction, they were unscrupulously mining the Northern Region’s mineral resources.

Mike recalled the group of people he had met when he had just become a divine-tier expert. He could not help but shake his head. He understood that he had to chase this group of people out of the Northern Region so that the new city would be able to settle down.

When Mike thought of this, he directly landed on the ground. He landed on the ground and looked at the astonished people around him. He asked, “Where’s your manager? call him out.”

A manager-like person walked out. He looked at Mike and asked tentatively, “He’s the manager of the northern mining team sent by the Shadow City. Zhao Heng, what’s the matter?”

Mike smiled and said,

“You’re opening my mine in my home, and you’re asking me what’s the matter?”

Zhao Heng frowned. He understood that Mike was here to look for trouble, but he didn’t dare to act since he couldn’t figure out Mike’s true strength.

Zhao Heng said, “Have you heard of Shadow City?”

Mike asked, “Shadow City or imperial palace?”

Zhao Heng said, “You must be joking, ten…”

“Then get lost!”

Zhao Heng’s expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, “Are you from the imperial palace?”

Mike nodded, his expression full of arrogance.

Zhao Heng’s expression was complicated, and he said to Mike, “Then we’ll leave now.”

Mike shook his head and said to Zhao Heng, “No, what I mean is that you have to leave the Northern Region.”

When Zhao Heng heard this, he frowned. He looked at Mike and said word by word, “This is an important matter. Please invite the Northern Region’s general manager over.”

Mike nodded and said to him, “Then hurry up.”

Zhao Heng nodded. He looked at Mike and said,

“Wait a moment, the supervisor will be here soon.”

Mike nodded and did not speak anymore. He closed his eyes and released his spiritual power.

Mike’s spiritual power rippled in the Northern Region. In an instant, everything that happened in the Northern Region was seen by Mike.

Mike found that there were at least tens of millions of people in the Northern Region mining for minerals and searching for precious plants. If all these people were driven away, the divine power would definitely arouse the anger of the other forces in the Otherworld. Mike began to think, was it worth it to do this?

Mike shook his head. He pondered for a moment and still felt that it was not worth it. Although the imperial palace would not find trouble with him for now, this did not mean that the other factions would not be able to find trouble with him. As long as there were more people coming from the opposite side, he would not be able to deal with them.

Mike sighed, turned around, and flew away. He had already made a plan in his heart. He asked the Snow Fox to make a simple barrier to cover the new city.

“It has been more than a year since I left. What has the new city been built to look like?”

Mike was filled with anticipation. He had an inexplicable feeling towards this city that had risen up from the ice plains.

Mike flew at full speed towards the northernmost part of the Northern Region.

One day later, Mike returned to New City. The city that appeared before Mike was no longer the same as before. It now had many new elements, giving him a refreshing feeling.

Mike landed on the ground and walked into the castle. He quietly hid his figure and quietly observed the changes in the city.

Mike walked into the castle. He took a deep breath, and soon, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

How thick was the divine power? Mike only took in a deep breath, and he could feel the divine power in his body becoming slightly thicker. This was a sliver of a divine-tier expert’s divine power. If it were to be placed on the body of an entry-level expert. It would probably be able to rise several levels consecutively.

Suddenly, Mike stopped. He looked at the foot of a wall. There were a few ice-blue wild fruits growing there. Mike recognized these wild fruits. They had a miraculous effect on strengthening the body. If these few wild fruits were placed in other domains. They would probably be auctioned off for hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Mike looked at other places. He found that this place was actually full of these fruits. Moreover, it was not just this kind of fruit. There were also other fruits mixed in the middle, but they were all exceptionally rare treasures, they were all exceptionally rare treasures.

Suddenly, a pure white deer slowly walked over. When the group of youths saw this, they scrambled to climb onto the white deer’s back. The white deer was not angry. Instead, it slowly bent down and let the group of youths climb onto its back. In the end, it led the youths away.

This white deer’s strength was at least two-stars heaven-tier. If it wanted to attack these youths, these youths would not even have the time to react.

When Mike saw this scene, he was a little surprised. He had never seen such a situation. He also did not understand why such a situation would occur. However, it seemed like everything was developing in a good direction, Mike was also happy to see this scene, so he did not plan to interfere with them.

Mike continued to walk into the castle, the smile on his face getting wider. He found that along the way, the people he saw, including the group of children on the back of the white deer.

This was not a simple matter. The high-rank army was the backbone of the Castle Lord. They directly determined the size of the Castle Lord. The Dragon Castle originally only had more than one million high-rank soldiers, but after just over a year, Mike was surprised to find that this number had doubled!

This was not a simple number accumulation. Mike was extremely shocked. Of course, he understood what this meant. This was only the first year, what if it was these hundred years? When the time came, the number of high-level soldiers would definitely not be the only ones that would explode!

Mike’s heart was pounding. He understood that he might really have the qualifications to negotiate with the Ruler.

However, Mike was not in a hurry. He understood that now was definitely not the time. The Ruler’s headstrong personality had caused him to have to suffer a series of failures, and only then could he calm down. Therefore, Mike was not in a hurry, he felt that he might as well use this period of time to recuperate and constantly strengthen himself. That was the way to go.

Thinking of this, Mike walked towards the center of the castle. The wonders along the way were too much for Mike to take in. Mike was in a good mood, but at the same time, he felt a little proud.

Mike found Little Jerry and briefly described the current divine power of the Northern Region to him.

Little Jerry asked with a serious face, “What do you mean now?”
