The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Three months passed.

In the castle, Maximus was reviewing reports on the progress of conquering the Sun Sea region.

With the ongoing sea beast tide, various places in the Sun Sea region should be devastated.

However, with Johnson's strategy, using puppets, they saved these places like a ray of light in the darkness.

This tactic won people effortlessly, leading them to swear loyalty to the Moonlight Empire.

Swearing allegiance to the Moonlight Empire was the most crucial part.

Swearing willingly led to a pure amalgamation of will, while swearing under oppression bred a corrupt amalgamation of will.

Thus, emperors rarely conquered territory by force.

Usually, it was through enticement and benefits.

By now, more than half of the Sun Sea region had become Maximus's territory.

The Moonlight Empire already had trillions of people in its midst.

This caused the amalgamation of will he received to reach a whopping billion.

Such a vast sum was enough for him to achieve many things, whether it was mastering knowledge or improving his talent more quickly.

Unfortunately, it seemed that after the population reached a trillion, the addition of the amalgamation of will reached its limits.

Now there were only three things he could do: expand his territory, improve the quality of the population, and conquer other empires.

While Maximus was reviewing the reports, his chief minister finally arrived.

"I've met Your Majesty!" Doran bowed.

"At ease."

"How are you coping with the increase in population?"

"We can barely manage the situation, Your Majesty," Doran sighed.

"By now, we can only assign one or two officials to every city."

Originally, they only had over a hundred billion in population, but in just three short months, it had shot up to trillions.

"How do you plan to solve this?" Maximus asked.

"We plan to reuse the previous officials and ministers of these lands, Your Majesty."

"By now, they have already undergone rigorous courses to reshape their ideology."

"After a few months of study, these people can go back to their positions and fill our vacancies."

"That's good,"

The Moonlight Empire's set of ideologies was created by Maximus himself, outlining how the empire should be managed.

These ideologies not only perfectly adapted to the rules of this world but also incorporated some rules from his previous world.

They also drew references from other dimensions.

With transcendent mastery over all these ideologies, the Moonlight Empire reached a state of a perfect utopia.

Of course, to manage this state, resources were indispensable.

The empire's budget was not enough that Maximus had to continuously invest.

However, compared to creating his dream place where he and his family could visit from time to time, all the expenses were nothing.

Besides, he could earn this amount of money in just a few seconds.

Furthermore, there was also money in the Moonlight Bank that he could convert every month, which mostly offset the costs he invested.

...

At night, Maximus tapped the table as he delved into deep thought.

After Maximus had asked various questions regarding the development of the Moonlight Empire and the Sun Sea region.

He noted two problems: transportation and the Purification Array.

Transportation was a significant problem given the size of this world.

Moreover, with the sea beast tide raging, their ships could barely pass through.

Even Cedric, in charge of Startsea traders, had stopped doing business and was on vacation.

Fortunately, they had a puppet to transport supplies from various places.

"Now, how to solve the transportation issue..." Maximus contemplated.

Maximus considered three solutions: Stronger Ships, a Sub-Teleportation Array, and a Train System.

Purchasing ships was straightforward; it simply required money.

With the resources earned by his guild and the potion shop, there was no need to use the money he received from the system.

The second solution involved building a sub-teleportation array.

With the Teleportation Array in his empire as the foundation.

Creating a sub-teleportation array was easy just time-consuming and expensive.

Furthermore, it didn't require professionals to create a sub-teleportation array.

One simply needed to set the array of materials and carve the preprogrammed runes.

The third solution was creating a train system.

The train system was not unique in this world.

However, it's not like the rigid train in his previous life with fixed tracks.

Here they used tracks formed by space nodes and runes, creating a space pathway that can accelerate vehicles at an indefinite speed.

Then, any vehicle recognized by this space pathway could become a train.

This mode was widely used in the Arcane Continent.

Otherwise, various vehicles would take years just to travel from city to city.

Even the City of Arcana used this system, but instead of a fixed space pathway.

The entire place became its own space dimension, with the addition of invisible space-wrapping arrays.

That's why, despite housing billions of trillions of people, you could reach anywhere within a few minutes.

Maximus didn't even know how big the city was.

From the outside, it just looked like a massive floating city.

But in reality, it was just a projection image, as its entire body was blended into its own space dimension.

Thinking about the three solutions, he frowned.

"Since I can't pick, then I'll have them all."

Anyway, he had the money, so he could be extravagant about this.

With ships, a train system, and multiple sub-teleportation arrays.

The Moonlight Empire would have the most advance transportation system in the Curse continent.

Just imagining this, Maximus felt that the money was worth it.

...

"What about the Purifying Array?"

The Purifying Array is used to purify the corrosive mana on the Curse Continent.

The previous Sunburnt Plateau was in this state.

Various kingdoms barely operated, relying on the magic crystal vein to activate the array.

The downside of this was the underutilization of land.

"How about just dump it on the guild and let them solve it?"

Maximus believed that it should be doable as his only requirement was a large enough purifying array.

"It's just that there are too few people..."

Maximus frowned as he realized that there were only ten thousand people in his guild.

These individuals already had their own tasks and couldn't be disturbed.

"Then recruit more."

By now, he and his guild had become particularly famous.

With his victory in the world competition three months ago.

His Shadow Hunter Guild had gained attention, resulting in many applications to join.

Maximus just hadn't had the time to accept new members before.

Now that he needed manpower, it was a perfect opportunity.

"Tintin, begin recruiting for the Shadow Hunter Guild," Maximus instructed, urging his token.

"What requirements do you have in mind, host?"

"There are no requirements; as long as they are willing to join, accept them."

"Huh? Are you sure, host?" Tintin asked.

Usually, guilds have some strict requirements, hoping to maintain the purity and high quality of their members.

Hearing her host's words, Tintin inquired to check if there was something wrong with her host.

"Of course I'm sure."

"Also, revise the contract; there's no need for such a strict one," 

"Make it so that guild members can leave anytime they want."

What He wanted was a collie.

As a student of the Origin Arcana Institute, they are all already overqualified.

How can Maximus be choosy?

As for the revision of the contract, it was to avoid attracting animosity.

Most contract is like selling yourself to a guild.

Once you sign yourself, you belong only to the guild. 

If he did that, he would not only offend the students who signed the contract but also other guilds, especially the lower-tier ones.

After all with his unrestricted requirement and his fame, Maximus could fool a lot of students.

He didn't want them to come back to haunt him in the future.

"Also, set up a ranking system.

"From D to S, with the original members starting at A Rank," Maximus said after giving it some thought.

"How will you divide the ranks, Host? By points? Also, what are the benefits?"

"Just do it as usual."

"But benefits?" Maximus fell into thought.

He pondered what he could offer.

The only thing he had is Knowledge and Money.

Money was easy to provide due to his open source of income.

As for Knowledge...

He had transcendent mastery insights into spells, skills, techniques, and professions that should be highly sought after.

He also possessed new knowledge acquired from other dimensions.

The only challenge lies in how to share knowledge.

He quickly sifted through potential solutions.

"I've got it!" Maximus thought in excitement.

He thought of the method used by top guilds.

With epochs of inheritance, they also have some unique skill that is forbidden for others to learn.

To prevent the spread of these skills, a mere vow and contract were insufficient, so they devised a new method.

They called it the "Pack of Inheritance," a combination of a vow, contract, and a spell.

This method closed all the loopholes by directly erasing any information once a possibility of divulging these skills appeared.

Now, Maximus only needed to obtain and learn this skill.

"I have already thought of it."

"Besides the monetary reward, there is also the tier of knowledge they can browse."

"Knowledge? Do you have that host?" Tintin asked.

"Don't worry about it; just set the parameters right," Maximus assured her.

"Right away, host!"
