Wang Yu finished his affairs during the day and returned home at night. After receiving reports from his brothers, he entered the secret realm.
Conquering Haiyuan Town was not a matter of a moment, and the plans in the secret realm also needed to proceed simultaneously.
"Greetings, Master!"
As soon as he entered his manor, crisp and neat voices rang out, and all the maids bowed respectfully to Wang Yu.
That bow revealed a sea of white...
However, Wang Yu was not in the mood; he was also contemplating his next move.
"Should I try to subdue the Scarlet Flood Dragon first, or the Cloud Fox in the snowy mountains..."
The Scarlet Flood Dragon was enormous and could not be brought out of the secret realm for the time being, so it would not be of much help in conquering Haiyuan Town.
Or rather, its help would be minimal.
"It's better to go for the Cloud Fox. Cloud Foxes are skilled in mental power and might be able to help me solve many troubles in Haiyuan Town."
Wang Yu took a comfortable half-hour bath, dressed with the service of beautiful maids, and with a thought, his figure appeared at the foot of the snowy mountain.
This was the northern part of the secret realm, the dwelling place of the Cloud Fox tribe.
The vegetation at the foot of the mountain was still diverse, lush and green. However, as one ascended higher, the green gradually turned withered and yellow, eventually presenting a stretch of pure white.
Sacred and serene.
Wang Yu slowly walked towards the summit. Along the way, the aura of the spiritual transformation grass he possessed attracted many low-level demonic beasts to watch.
There were birds and beasts alike, but these demonic beasts did not dare to approach, as Wang Yu's vital energy and blood were currently very dense, his aura terrifying and comparable to great demons in their eyes.
As Wang Yu walked, he observed the surrounding demonic beasts and flora, looking for any treasures.
However, good things were not so easy to find; rare items like spirit fruits that could double one's physique were a matter of chance.
When he leisurely reached the peak of the snowy mountain, looking down upon all other mountains, a thought uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.
"It would be wonderful to live in the secret realm forever..."
This thought lingered in Wang Yu's mind, and the cold mountain wind blowing all over him could not dispel it.
But he also knew this was impossible. Others could, but he could not.
Because once the three days were up, the secret realm would reject him.
"Actually, you can live here forever..."
At this moment, a dreamlike, ethereal female voice echoed in Wang Yu's mind, filled with temptation.
"Who?!"
Wang Yu was greatly alarmed. Anyone hearing such a sudden voice on a deserted snowy mountain peak would be startled.
However, being startled was one thing; Wang Yu calmly turned around.
But he saw no one.
Upon scanning again, he noticed a snow-white little fox squatting on the ground.
"Were you the one speaking?"
Wang Yu looked down, curiously observing the white fox, guessing it must be a Cloud Fox demonic beast.
The white fox also looked curiously at Wang Yu, tilting its fox head slightly, appearing very cute.
"There are only the two of us here. If not me, then who else could it be?"
The dreamlike voice sounded in his mind again. Wang Yu kept staring at the little fox, but he realized it hadn't opened its mouth at all.
It was communicating entirely through mental power.
"Amazing, truly gifted..."
Wang Yu had never heard of such a thing, even in his past life, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He walked up to the little fox and squatted down, a smile on his lips, and asked, "Little one, what did you mean just now? Can you explain?"
The little fox was not flustered by Wang Yu's close proximity. It remained still, its eyes even darting around.
Extremely human-like.
"You cannot stay here forever because your authority is not sufficient."
"Not sufficient authority?"
Wang Yu frowned, then smiled and said, "Little one, I am the master of this secret realm. My authority is not sufficient?"
The little fox shook its snow-white, adorable head, "It's not enough because a portion of the authority is still with me."
"Oh? With you?"
"Yes. Before you entered, I was the co-master of this secret realm, and I managed everything."
"I see..."
Wang Yu was somewhat surprised, but it made sense. He had wondered how the secret realm maintained its ecological balance.
With three powerful demonic beast races, it was strange that the secret realm had remained orderly without management. Now it was clear.
"Then, how can I obtain your authority?" Wang Yu asked with some trepidation.
"I'll give it to you."
?
This easy?
Without any conditions?
Wang Yu asked with some uncertainty, "How do I give it?"
"Place your hand on my head."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu pondered for a moment and then complied.
He felt that the little fox likely had no ill intentions, and most importantly, it posed no threat.
As he touched the little fox's soft, white fur, a beam of white light shot from its head, along Wang Yu's arm, and into his mind.
Boom!
Wang Yu's consciousness trembled, then slowly calmed down.
After a moment, he felt as though the world around him had changed.
It was as if... every plant and tree in the secret realm had become more intimate with him, and he could command the life and death of any living being within the realm with a single thought.
He could even move mountains and fill seas!
At this moment, Wang Yu truly became the master of the secret realm, the sovereign of everything within it!
He was certain he would never be expelled again.
"In that case, perhaps the apocalypse will have nothing to do with me..."
Wang Yu stood at the summit of the snowy mountain, holding the little fox, his gaze fixed on the distance, where his constructed base lay...
...
After emerging, Wang Yu, through Li Yun, spent a considerable amount of supplies to bribe various management points in Haiyuan Town to help him search for Jiang Nanshuang.
They found her in less than two days.
On the third day, Wang Yu, along with Jiang Nanshuang, Xue Qi, and his six good brothers, left Haiyuan Town.
A week later, the entire Haidian Island base was deserted, all its inhabitants having moved into his secret realm.
The villas in the villa district were dismantled, and all the materials were moved inside.
From then on, Wang Yu lived in the secret realm, fathered dozens of children, and lived out his life happily...
