Chapter 856: 856: Transformation Of Blanks

So, during the past years, instead of focusing only on himself, he also extended his effort toward his children and worked hard to nurture them.

He gave them proper training and made sure they had enough resources to grow. He didn’t want them to become people who could only rely on their father’s name.

He wanted them to have their own strength.

The relationship between Blanks and Eldorian had also become much closer.

The portals made communication and transportation easier, while the steady flow of resources benefited both sides.

Queen Ophelia had continued ruling Eldorian during these twenty years.

Her position had become even more stable.

The nobles who had once been worried about Ethan had gradually accepted his existence.

After all, twenty years had passed, and Ethan had shown no intention of interfering with the Imperial throne.

He remained the Duke of Blanks.

That alone had been enough to calm many of their fears.However, the world outside had not remained peaceful.

During these ten years, several secret organizations had started becoming more active.

Small conflicts appeared in different regions.

There were also strange incidents involving disappearances, unexplained deaths and groups of people suddenly gathering around certain individuals.

At first, most people considered them unrelated incidents.

But slowly, the number of such incidents increased.

The Empires had begun investigating them.

Some reports suggested that frustrated cultivators and people who had failed to break through were being gathered by unknown organizations.

No one knew who was behind them.

The Empire continued searching for the source, but the organizations operating in the shadows were careful and never created too large a disturbance.

They were slowly gathering their strength.

Meanwhile, Blanks continued to grow.

Ethan looked at everything that had been built over the past ten years and felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

He had once worried that everything would collapse if he disappeared.

Now, he could finally see that Blanks had started standing on its own.

The people he trusted were growing stronger.

His children were growing up.

His wives were also becoming stronger.

And his territory was becoming more stable every year.

Twenty had changed many things.

But Ethan knew that the peaceful days would not last forever.

During this time, Ethan also understood that for such a huge family to function properly and pass down the lineage for generations, there needed to be rules.

The number of children he had already had had passed fifty.

Handling them and watching them grow was becoming a subtle headache. He couldn’t let it go on like this, so he decided to implement Clan Rules.

He also formed various departments within Blanks.

The Mage Academy and Knight Academy were already growing. On top of that, he added Magical Formation, Potion, Artifact and Weapon Refinery departments, along with several other departments.

One could choose any subsequent pathway according to their talent and interests. For his kids, he also built a grand library. In the last year, several such libraries had already been built throughout Blanks.

Next was the formation of several squadrons.

The main crux of these squadrons was that only those who had the bloodline of Blanks would be able to enter them. This was entirely a personal force that would oversee Blanks and protect its subsequent generations.

The top geniuses of the squadrons would be entrusted with administrative powers as well.

For now, five squadron heads had been selected. At first, Ethan had based the position of squadron head on reaching the Legendary Rank, but only Ray, Herion, Miranda and Nera had reached such a stage.

Even after reaching the Legendary Rank, their progress had slowed down.

Even with potions and resources, the path ahead was arduous, so their progress was bound to slow down. Those with higher potential were already reaching close to that stage.

In the round table meeting, Ethan sat at the head and looked at his children.

All of them had grown up and had already married and given birth to children.

Ray, whom Ethan had when he was around nineteen, was already in his seventies and had become a grandfather.

It was the same for all of them except...

Miranda was still unmarried.

That lass was simply a pain in the ass. Ethan had nudged her countless times to find someone suitable, but she had her eyes set too high and wanted to marry only someone who was as capable as Ethan. But how was this possible?

He had managed to reach this level because of the Children Blessings System. So unless there was someone who could be supplemented by the power of the System, it was close to impossible for anyone to reach his level until Heaven had poured out all its blessings and fortune upon them.

Miranda felt a fearsome fiery gaze on her. She quietly lowered her head and pretended not to notice it.

"Father, stop this... Being single isn’t bad."

Ethan looked at Herion’s zombie-like expression and cursed.

"Out of all of you, you should be the least one to speak."

This brat had been quite lonely when he was young, but now he already had close to sixty wives.

The slaves he had freed continued to follow him, and once he married the beast woman, he didn’t like ordinary women anymore.

"Cough! Father, you should just stop worrying about Miranda. It’s different for us since you aren’t leaving us, and Miranda already has many nephews to take care of," Nera added with a smile.

Miranda chirped when she heard this.

"See this."

"Even your kids can see this, but you can’t."

"Shut up!" Ethan roared hoarsely, causing Miranda to curl up slightly.

"Stop acting scared and pitiful."

Miranda slowly raised her head and glanced at him before lowering it again.

"Father, we should start with the annual meeting," Ray interjected, causing Ethan to pause.

He looked around the table at his children before letting out a sigh and nodding.

"Fine. Let’s start."
