"It's been a long time."
Standing alone on the spot, looking at Hedosiri and Ramu, who were walking toward him, Chen Heng smiled and said, "It seems that you two have been doing well recently."
"Lord Acto..."
Looking at Chen Heng, Hedosiri and Ramu quickly lowered their heads and said respectfully.
"Get up."
Looking at their appearance, Chen Heng smiled and then waved his hand, indicating for them to get up.
After the two people in front of him stood firmly in front of him, he spoke softly and said with a smile, "How's the situation recently?"
"Thanks to your blessings, the effect is quite good."
Looking at Chen Heng in front of them, Hedosiri and Ramu nodded and then said,
"The medicine you made is very effective. It can improve the vitality and strength of Life Knight very well.
"Fulfilling our promises, we have recruited a lot of people.
"Among them, there are three First Ring Knights and more than ten apprentice Knights."
Standing in front of them, Hedosiri and Ramu said respectfully.
"It seems that the effect is not bad."
Hearing their words, Chen Heng nodded, looking satisfied.
Before this, he had sent Hedosiri and Ramu out to patrol the Karo Kingdom.
The reason was not that he was bored, but because he had sent Hedosiri and Ramu out to recruit those powerful Knights.
Now, Chen Heng's influence had greatly expanded. To put it bluntly, even the entire Karo Kingdom was within his sphere of influence.
But up until now, the number of people he could use wasn't too much.
The only ones who could be considered reliable and useful were the two people in front of him, Hedosiri and Ramu.
As for Raku and the others, although these knights who joined halfway had moderate strengths, their degree of loyalty was a concern.
As the homegrown professionals were loyal and relatively more reliable, their strengths were still lacking in such a short period.
It would still take a long time for these people to mature truly.
Therefore, when Chen Heng took control of the situation in the entire Karo Kingdom, he was amazed to find that he did not seem to have many people under his command.
The reason for this could not be entirely blamed on him.
A long time ago, he had already begun to train his own subordinates. He had specially hired specialized teachers from outside to teach the children in his territory to become professionals.
However, what Chen Heng did not expect was that his speed of advancement was a little too fast.
In just a short period of time, the entire Karo Kingdom had become his territory.
Therefore, the number of people he needed suddenly increased by a lot.
This was real pressure.
After all, if he did not have enough people under him, then realistically, it would be hard to control his territory, let alone accomplish other things.
Because of this, Chen Heng sent Hedosiri and Ramu out to recruit strong people to work for him.
From the looks of it, the effect was not bad.
Of course, there were no Second Ring Knights.
There were very few existences of this level in the Karo Kingdom. Even if there were, they would be recruited by others at the first opportunity. It was very difficult for there to be any left.
However, he managed to recruit some First Ringed Knights and apprentice-level professionals.
This could greatly expand Chen Heng's manpower and provide him a lot of help.
It was more or less good news.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng nodded his head. He was quite satisfied.
The situation in the Karo Kingdom was clear. There were not many powerful professionals there.
If it was just these people, it was enough for Chen Heng to use.
Not to mention there was also the Church of Nature.
According to the conversation with Sloan, after agreeing to form an alliance, Chen Heng could use the power of the Church of Nature.
Although the power of the Church of Nature was not as strong as the Dusk Cult, it was one of the best in the Karo Kingdom.
With the other party's help, some problems were no longer a problem.
Chen Heng was satisfied.
Standing where he was, he raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him.
Under his gaze, the appearance of the two people appeared in his eyes.
They seemed to be still the same as in the past from the appearance. After so many years, they had never changed.
They were still the same as when they had just followed him.
Looking at their appearance, Chen Heng was a little surprised and also sighed.
It had only been an instant, but now, so many years had passed.
This was really surprising.
Compared to before, their situation had changed greatly. They were no longer the same as before.
"Alright."
Many thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's mind as he stood where he was. His expression returned to calmness as he looked at the two people in front of him. He smiled and said,
"Go back and make some preparations.
"It's about time to improve your strengths."
He looked at Hedosiri and Ramu in front of him and said softly.
As his voice fell, Hedosiri and Ramu immediately raised their heads. Their faces revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
From its looks, this could be considered a huge surprise for them.
They had been looking forward to this day since a long time ago.
And now, this opportunity had finally come.
They couldn't help but feel anticipated, but they forcefully held it back.
Looking at Chen Heng in front of them, their expressions were respectful, and in the end, they quietly retreated.
Very quickly, only Chen Heng's figure was left on the spot.
The next day, Hedosiri and Ramu got up early and went to Chen Heng's courtyard, waiting there.
From the looks of it, they were already somewhat impatient.
Chen Heng did not have the intention of keeping them in suspense. Without any unnecessary words, he directly poured divine power into their bodies, helping them to begin improving themselves.
This time, Chen Heng was not stingy. He used a large amount of divine power and directly raised the levels of the two of them.
Originally, Hedosiri and Ramu had undergone an upgrade. At this moment, their powers were at the level of Second Ring and First Ring, respectively.
But now, after Chen Heng's upgrade, the two of them had directly reached a higher level.
Hedosiri had been upgraded to the Third Ring, while Ramu had also reached the Second Ring.
It seemed to be very fast.
If other Knights saw it, they would probably go crazy with jealousy and wish to replace them.
However, behind this simple upgrade, the price to pay was also extremely huge.
In order to help Hedosiri and Ramu upgrade directly, Chen Heng had consumed a huge amount of divine power.
These were Hedosiri and Ramu.
From the very beginning, these two had been following Chen Heng. For so many years, they had worked hard without complaint. Even in the most difficult and dangerous times, they had not wavered.
Therefore, this level up was a kind of reward to them.
It could be Chen Heng's reward for their many years of contributions.
The others wouldn't receive such treatment.
Moreover, even if it was Hedosiri and Ramu, there probably wouldn't be the next time.
After the Third Ring, it was the transformation of the True Spirit.
This transformation required the transformation of one's own Origin and the blossoming of the light of the True Spirit that belonged to oneself.
At this level, the help of external forces wasn't too great.
Even if divine power could help them improve, the amount of energy they would need to expend would probably be endless.
Relatively speaking, it was not worth it.
Therefore, Chen Heng did not plan to give them any further improvements. At most, he would only raise Ramu to the Third Ring. That would be enough.
The rest of their training would still depend on themselves.
After using divine power to improve, the appearance of Hedosiri and Ramu seemed to have undergone a brand new change.
Compared to before, they looked much younger. At this moment, their bodies had gained a little more stature, and at a glance, they looked much more valiant.
Under cover of the radiance, they silently bowed and respectfully saluted Chen Heng.
"Alright, let's go back."
Looking at the appearance of the two people in front of him, Chen Heng smiled lightly. He didn't really care about it. He just waved his hand, indicating for them to leave.
In front of Chen Heng, Hedosiri and Ramu were also very obedient.
Seeing Chen Heng's actions, they nodded and left.
They quickly turned around and left.
After they left, Chen Heng was soon the only one left there.
He stood there alone, silently watching Hedosiri and Ramu leave. As if remembering something, a smile quickly appeared on his face.
"Things are almost done..."
Standing on the spot, he muttered to himself, and then said, "Next, it's time to start a new simulation..."
This thought flashed through his mind, and then he turned around and directly left this place.
Calculating the time, it had been more than half a year since Chen Heng last conducted a simulation.
After such a long time, Chen Heng's gains from the last simulation had been completely absorbed by him.
It was time for him to start the next simulation.
After all, simulation was the most cost-effective for him.
Not only could it save a lot of time for training, but it could also allow him to increase his True Spirit and improve rapidly.
Soon, he returned to the room he was familiar with.
After returning to his room, he sat in his room and looked in front of him.
"Do you want to start the simulation?"
In front of him, the familiar simulation interface appeared.
On It, three known world coordinates appeared.
World of Gods, Mutated World, Cursed World...
These were the three worlds that Chen Heng had experienced so far. Now, they appeared directly for Chen Heng to choose from.
Sitting on the head of his bed, Chen Heng's gaze drifted between the three choices before quickly focusing on one of the worlds— the World of Gods.
For this simulation, Chen Heng did not plan to head to another world for this simulation. Instead, he planned to create another clone and stay in the World of Gods.
The reason he did so was to be secure.
The clone created by the simulation had a guaranteed function.
According to the feedback from the simulation machine, if some day, Chen Heng's main body fell, then his existence would still not disappear. Instead, it would be transferred to the clone and continue to revive on the clone.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Chen Heng's clone could play a certain degree of risk-avoiding role.
And at this moment, Chen Heng only had one clone.
This number, in Chen Heng's view, was somewhat unsafe.
After all, according to the Sloan of the Church of Nature, the era of the Gods' revival was about to arrive.
If that were really the case, then in the following period of time, the entire period with the revived Gods would become extremely dangerous.
Under this kind of situation, Chen Heng could not even guarantee his own safety.
Therefore, he naturally needed to be safer.
As for why he chose to place his clone in the World of Gods...
Of course, it was because he didn't want to miss the next big stage.
The Gods of the World of Gods were about to revive. Next, the entire World of Gods would become the stage.
Chen Heng was in it. If he missed it, wouldn't it be a pity?
It was with this thought that Chen Heng chose to stay in the World of Gods again and create his own clone.
"Please choose the points you input..."
Standing where he was, Chen Heng looked at the words that appeared in front of him and subconsciously looked to the side.
At this moment, he had about 10,000 simulation points left.
That was quite a number.
Since that was the case...
"It seems that ever since I obtained this simulation device, I have never bought a good identity before..."
Standing on the spot, looking at his remaining points, Chen Heng smiled as various thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Since that's the case, I'll be extravagant and take a look...
"I can just take a look and see what kind of results I can get..."
This thought flashed through his mind. Then, he directly invested most of his simulation points into it.
In his line of sight, the number in the column of simulation points was rapidly decreasing. Very quickly, the number dropped from a little over 10,000 to less than 3,000.
With this calculation, the number was reduced by about 7,000 to 8,000.
It was still within Chen Heng's acceptable range.
"Confirm?"
In front of his eyes, the words of the simulator appeared once again, appearing directly.
Chen Heng chose to confirm. Following that, the words in front of his eyes began to fade slowly and disappear.
In front of his eyes, a ray of light shot up from his body and surged into the inexplicable vortex, leaving this area.
After that, Chen Heng stood where he was and roughly felt his current state.
His current state seemed to be weaker than before.
This was because he lacked a portion of his True Spirit.
A portion of his True Spirit's Origin went to other places through the simulation, causing Chen Heng to become weaker.
Chen Heng wasn't surprised by this and was already used to it.
Compared to the previous time, it seemed like it was because his True Spirit had become stronger.
This time, Chen Heng felt much better and wasn't as bad as before.
I wonder what kind of person I'll become this time…
Standing on the spot, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
Before this, he had also carried out this kind of simulation.
In that simulation, Chen Heng did not put in any points. The final result was that he had become a Kobold who had just been born.
And this time, after putting in so many points, what would he become in the end?
Chen Heng expressed his great anticipation.
And from what he could feel, his True Spirit was already getting further and further away from him...
In the spacious and gorgeous hall, waves of soft music were being played in all directions, and it was currently reverberating in his ears.
There were people dressed in gorgeous robes who looked like noble people dancing or talking in low voices in the hall.
However, the most eye-catching person in this hall was one of the figures.
It was a young girl wearing a long white dress.
In terms of age, the young girl did not look too old. She was only about seventeen or eighteen years old and was still very young. However, her appearance was already very exquisite and beautiful. Her every action was filled with an indescribable charm and temperament.
At a glance, she was like the noblest swan. Just standing there quietly, she had an indescribable attraction.
Looking at the young girl in front of them, many people's eyes revealed a fiery light.
Eloise Kanai.
This was the youngest daughter of the King of the Karkoen Empire.
In the Karkoen Empire, the royal Kanai family and the other four Dukes were the most powerful forces.
Princess Eloise in front of them was the princess of the royal family and the most resplendent pearl in the current Karkoen Empire.
If anyone could marry her, then without a doubt, they would be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step and become an existence that countless people envied.
Of course, very few people were interested in this.
Although a noble princess was beautiful, not everyone was qualified to marry her.
As a princess of the Karkoen Kingdom, she was destined to be married to four Duke families because of the bloodline she carried.
This was for power as well as the sake of the bloodline inheritance.
In the Karkoen Empire, regardless of whether it was the royal family or the four Duke families, their Origins were all Gods, and they possessed the bloodline that belonged to Gods.
Only when these families with strong bloodlines were combined with each other could they give birth to individuals with strong bloodlines.
Therefore, to ensure the purity of their own bloodlines, the several bloodline families were all married to each other and would not marry outsiders.
Unless the outsider possessed a pure and powerful bloodline, none of them could marry this noble princess.
Because of this, very, very few people present wanted to get their hands on her.
After all, most people who could sit here were not fools. They had long understood the rules of the noble circle, so they naturally would not do anything unnecessary.
However, as they looked at the princess in front of them, many of the people present shifted their gazes to the other side.
To be precise, they were looking at a young man there.
In that position, the young man was dressed in a black robe. He looked tall and handsome, and both his appearance and temperament were outstanding.
However, at this moment, he seemed to be in a daze.. He sat there in a daze and didn't care about the gazes around him.
