Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

He gazed at the calm and blue waters beneath him. He could sense the abundant life and bounty of the underwater world. The sight was the complete opposite of what the seas looked like mere hours ago.

None saw how Cedric did it, but they knew it was him. After all, only he could perform outrageous miracles like this with barely an effort on his part.

This just shows how out of this world their Sun Sage has truly become. And it's even more reason why Raven insisted on not bothering him too much since he didn't want people holding Cedric back from realizing his true potential.

Even though Cedric doesn't participate in mundane things, his presence alone is enough for humans to grow steadily. The stronger he was, the better it would be for them. It doesn't matter if he only becomes a spiritual leader; with his strength alone, Prime Earth is safe, and that's enough.

With the seas returning to their natural form and cleansed of demonic filth, humans could now traverse them without suffering any consequences. They could sail all over Prime Earth without being afraid that they'd be swallowed up by the towering waves or the unknown creatures of the sea.

And since it was Cedric who did all of this, it's almost certain that he left some surprises at some parts of the sea. Such things are waiting for the fated people to arrive.

But that's going to have to wait. After all, they haven't even started to truly rehabilitate the Lost Continent.

In the recent meeting they had, they agreed about a couple of things that would affect this continent's future development.

They decided that this continent would turn into some sort of industrial zone for humans. And this was mostly because of the rich resources they discovered in this place.

After cleansing the corruption from the land and reinvigorating it with pure essence energy, the land showed immense potential in terms of giving birth to natural resources. In mere years of stability, it is estimated that the resources that this continent could produce will surpass Azure Terra's by a large margin.

And that's just based on the initial estimates. There is a high chance that this land will produce even more richer resources in the long run so long as they remain smart about its development.

Obviously, this was fantastic news for everybody. With this kind of promise, they could see a really bright future for humanity. They didn't know how this came to be, and frankly, they didn't care. What matters to them is the idea that they have to take advantage of this and be very smart and careful about whatever they're about to do with this continent for the sake of the race's bright future.

Their focus would be building infrastructure that would preserve and care for the land while also finding strategic locations to build resource collection and manufacturing structures without it conflicting with zones where they estimated the resources would be.

And this was going to be a bit challenging since there's just too much potential hidden in this land. It's so tempting to just turn this entire continent into a massive factory instead just to take full advantage of the potential resources it could bring to them, but that would be unwise.

They'd destroy this land by doing that, and that simply can't pass. After all, they've worked really hard to reclaim this land; how can they bear after all that?

That said, it's going to take some time before the Lost Continent truly develops into a treasure land of resources, so they definitely have the time to think more about how they're going to develop it with utmost care.

As Raven flew back to the land, his mind was filled with other things.

'The land and the sea are now free from demons and corruption.' He thought to himself. 'This essentially means that Prime Earth is now free of demons.'

He then looked at the clear blue skies and large puffy clouds hovering above this world; he also felt the warmth of the sun shining down on him as he stood in place.

It's unbelievable how a few hours ago, such sight would've been impossible to see in a place like this, yet just like that, everything changed. If he wasn't part of the people who orchestrated the cleansing of this land, he wouldn't have believed that this continent had been the hub of demonic activity for hundreds of years because there's not even a trace of vile energy left here.

However, Raven's sight went past the beauty of the clear skies above. His eyes seemingly wanted to pierce through the atmosphere and gaze upon the endless velvet blanket of the cosmic creation...because that's where the rest of their problem still lies.

'We cut their connection to the Lost Continent, preventing them from sending reinforcements. They probably have an idea of what's happening here, especially since all of the Sin Demons are now dead.'

'I just don't know if they could still observe the rest of Prime Earth.' Raven mused to himself. 'If they could, then they should be able to see the changes in the sea, and that should give them a clue of what's happening here.'

'If that's the case, then we should be ready for their possible retaliation. I can't imagine arrogant creatures like them to endure this kind of provocation lying down. They would certainly bring out the big guns, all but to display their overwhelming belief in their superiority towards us.'

'If it turns out that they can't observe anything that's happening to Prime Earth anymore, then that should buy us some time to develop even more. They'd probably be alarmed by the deaths of the Sin Demons, which might cause some complications, but so long as they're unable to send more of their men here. We're good.'

'I just hope that they don't run away.' Raven wished for this solemnly and with a dark expression on his face.

'It would be a pity to not completely eradicate them from existence altogether. And it would be even more of a pity if we humans can't do it ourselves.'

While the rest of humanity's leaders were focusing on making plans for the Lost Continent, Cedric was busy doing something else.

No, he's not spending time in bed with his women. As nice as that would have been, the girls are currently out; they somehow dragged Isabella on their shopping spree, leaving Cedric by himself.

Since he's bored and has a lot of time in his hands, he decided to monitor the world. But even that became boring after a while.

That's until an idea struck him.

He flew above the clouds, flying as high as he could, almost touching the Purgatory Realm itself. He then looked down and basked in the feeling of sovereignity for a while before making his move.

With a flick of his sleeves, a pocket dimension was formed. Space and time twisted into ribbons that he finely controlled as he wished. Once it stabilized, he entered it and showed the unstable and empty interior.

In here, he released his godlike power. Initiating creation like a real god.

Cedric planned to turn this place into a secret realm tucked away behind the clouds. This one in particular will be his new temporary home for the time being.

Why? Just because he could, really. There's no special reason. He just felt like having a home that can't be reached through normal means. Besides, this has always been one of his fantasies since he was a kid: having a castle above the clouds. It's like the next level after having a treehouse—almost.

Besides, being this close to the skies allows him to react faster just in case the space pirates make a move. He could just pass through the purgatory realm and interfere when he needed to.

But really, that's just an excuse, and he's being willful here. He just wanted to fulfill his fantasy of having a castle hidden in the clouds. This isn't technically it since the castle will be hidden on a secret realm, but considering that he's actually purposefully making the clouds able to hold up a huge castle, it's not that different, really.

Typically, stretching space like this was unwise because it poses the risk of destabilizing the world. However, it's Cedric's work. Of course he already put that into consideration.

He didn't have to worry about destabilizing the spatial integrity of Prime Earth simply because of the existence of the Sacred Celestial Tree.

Not only is that thing able to be responsible for the day and night cycles of the entire world, it also bolsters the space of the world it is in and enriches it.

Speaking of which, that tree is about to reach full maturity. With the steadily increasing vitality of Prime Earth and constant nourishing by Cedric himself, it entered a period of steady growth over these years.

Within five to six years, it will reach its mature stage. By then, it will be able to connect through worlds beyond this one, allowing safe and stable passage for humans to do so.

Cedric has grand plans for that, but that's going to have to wait until the tree matures.
