“Grand Duke Solan has sent news. The old King of the Holy Kingdom passed away early this morning,” Timo said.

“How did the Crown Prince and the Second Prince react?” Su Wan asked.

“The Crown Prince has dispatched the Imperial Guards to seal off the royal palace, and the Second Prince’s family is closely connected with the military forces guarding the capital. All city gates have been sealed,” Timo said. “Both sides claim to have received the king’s throne, and the explosive situation within the Holy Kingdom could erupt at any moment.”

Countless historical records described struggles for power within royal families, so there’s nothing new about this.

What intrigued him more was the attitude of the nobles of the Holy Kingdom towards the Third Prince.

“Among the nobles of the Holy Kingdom, most support the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Only less than a tenth support the Third Prince and they are mostly insignificant minor nobles, many of whom have connections with the four Grand Dukes.”

Even if the Third Prince gained the support of the four grand dukes, the situation won’t change easily. His reputation had been too poor, and a few months wouldn’t easily turn the tide.

“Let the Crown Prince and the Second Prince deal with each other first. When their power weakens, we’ll make our move.” Su Wan smiled.

“Grand Duke Solan and his group have the same thought, but the situation might have some variables. It seems that the Crown Prince has received the support of a god,” Timo said.

“Have they figured out which god is supporting the Crown Prince?” Su Wan knew that a god shouldn’t be underestimated even if they had lost their power.

“It’s speculated that it might be the evil god related to the old king. Recently, there have been large numbers of Abyssal troops in his army.” Timo was unsure about the exact identity of the god.

Archduke Qing You had personally gone to investigate.

A strong, putrid aura emanated from those troops. The aura was quite similar to what was emitted from the space rifts leading to the Abyss that had been destroyed before.

Back then, Xu Yuan disrupted the plan of the Lord of Decay.

Such a twist of fate.

Never did he expect to encounter a familiar face here.

The Lord of Decay had already lost his power now, but it remained unknown whether the Abyssal Overlords who had lost their power could control their malevolent and chaotic subordinates.

The Abyss wasn’t a place that valued loyalty.

If there wasn’t enough power to suppress them, the subordinates rose to betray their masters.

On the other hand, if it truly was the Lord of Decay behind this, wouldn’t that mean he had set things up within the Holy Kingdom from a long time ago?

But under the protection of the royal family, why would he take such actions here?

It seemed somewhat hard to understand.

“Inform Archduke Qing You that if that god is indeed the Lord of Decay, he should report immediately to me,” said Su Wan.

If the god behind the Crown Prince appeared, and they couldn’t handle it, they could seek assistance!

If they crushed the gems bestowed upon them, Su Wan and Xu Yuan could arrive instantly.

Before the power of the desert was sealed, Xu Yuan had crafted several special gems containing his spiritual power.

Once the gems were crushed, they would be aware and could travel to the corresponding location by using the gem as a coordinate.

With the might of the Eternal Land, he no longer needed the Void Sandworms to temporarily open spatial gates.

Though the distance was far, and they couldn’t stay too long, bringing an army over wouldn’t be an issue.

Su Wan was displeased by the Lord of Decay. They had to resolve this in person.

Timo nodded.

He wasn’t caught up in how Su Wan and Xu Yuan would deal with the Lord of Decay. In his eyes, Xu Yuan was on par with the gods.

Even if Xu Yuan said he would blow up the sun tomorrow, he would seriously consider how to continue the growth of the territory without the sun.

His admiration for Xu Yuan had reached its peak.

“The Magic Music Boxes are now widely distributed in Canglan City. Nearly every household with some assets has purchased them. Even the commoners on the streets can hear the music played in inns and taverns,” Timo said.

The Dark Elf, Princess Selina, had become the most renowned figure in Canglan City.

Following Su Wan’s instructions, they were observing those commoners who had lost their faith. Their love for Princess Selina was even more fervent than that of others.

“This is just the beginning,” said Su Wan.

Canglan City couldn’t indefinitely accommodate the Magic Music Boxes. Mestre needed to promote them to the surrounding cities. Su Wan hoped she could spread the influence of the music boxes to all the other cities around

Canglan City.

“Why not go to North Desert City? Our product quality is high. We should be able to sell at a better price there,” Timo said in confusion.

“Though Lords can bring us resources, they can’t satisfy our needs,” said Su Wan.

“Is it faith you desire?” Timo asked.

“Proceed with the arrangements.” Su Wan didn’t give him a definite answer. Only when the penetration rate of the Melody Boxes reached a certain level could the plan be set in motion. Production efficiency was still insufficient. Mestre collaborated with the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce and shared a portion of the benefits.

In the shortest time possible, the daily production of Magic Music Boxes needed to surpass one million units!

“As you wish!” Timo said.

With continuous growth, Su Wan and Xu Yuan’s decisions increasingly made him excited.

If he didn’t adjust his mindset in time, he feared he wouldn’t be able to continue serving as the territory’s steward.

Keeping pace with these two wasn’t an easy task.

“How’s the production of Light Flowing Grass?” Su Wan asked.

“We have developed numerous cultivation bases in the Tasiria Plane and the Eternal Land. Currently, the daily output has been raised to 60 million units,” Timo said. “Moreover, with the expansion of cultivation bases, the production can be further increased. The ice cream has already begun large-scale sales in North Desert City and has received unanimous praise from a wide range of consumers. Sales are going smoothly.”

The ice cream was positioned as the otherworld version of cola. Therefore, expanding production capacity was crucial.

Unlike the Magic Music Boxes, ice cream was consumable that could be purchased multiple times a day, so the expansion of production capacity wouldn’t lead to sales issues.

Su Wan was delighted to see the progress of these two things, which were the backbone of their economy.

“Don’t stop, and keep expanding. With North Desert City, no matter how large the production is, it can all be sold!”

That was the benefit of having the Tasiria Plane as a trading hub. The items from one’s territory can be sold quickly at any time.

Even with transaction fees, substantial profits were still possible.

With a daily production of 60 million units, Canglan City couldn’t consume it all.

“How many resources have we accumulated in these past few months?” Su Wan asked enthusiastically.

“Calculating rare resources, the tax revenue we’ve collected from North Desert City is 160 million, the Lavender Business Guild’s Magic Music Boxes contributed 120 million units, ice cream contributed 80 million, and the weapons factory in Dark Region City produced 60 million units,” Timo said with pride and confidence. “In total, it amounts to 420 million..”
