[Chapter: 24: Do you understand Geo Archon?]
Since the collision of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, the geopolitical landscape of the Douluo Continent has undergone subtle changes.
The original Heaven Dou Empire was divided into two major empires: the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, both located in the northern part of the Douluo Continent.
The Star Luo Empire remains unchanged, situated in the southern part of the continent.
The Sun and Moon Empire is positioned to the west.
Shrek Academy is located at the center of the original three empires of Douluo, very close to the Star Dou Great Forest.
The East Sea is the maritime area where the Douling Empire and the Star Luo Empire converge.
On the Douluo world map, it is a remote region, even farther from the Sun and Moon Empire, almost on the opposite side of Douluo Star.
One lies in the far west, and the other in the far east.
When Zhongli arrived in the East Sea, he took the lead in conducting observations and then threw several jade spears.
These spears began to weather under the influence of divine power, gradually forming a small island.
"Feasible!"
Seeing that the method worked, Zhongli threw more jade spears at once, expanding the island's area.
This scene left the people who came to investigate utterly stunned.
The events at Shrek Academy were still unfolding, and news naturally couldn't spread as fast as Zhongli's flight speed.
They didn't know Zhongli, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
This was an existence capable of reclaiming land from the sea on his own!
As time passed, the island grew larger and larger.
When it surpassed the size of Shrek City and Shrek Academy combined, Zhongli finally stopped.
Reclaiming land was a trivial task for Zhongli.
Moreover, the continent he built was far more robust than the original Douluo Continent.
"Wow!"
Paimon's eyes widened as she looked at Zhongli in disbelief. "Zhongli, you probably want to build a different world in Liyue, don't you?"
Zhongli tilted his head, glanced at Paimon, and nodded.
"That's true."
"There's always a sense of constraint on someone else's land."
Paimon touched her chin, gazing at the empty expanse of Liyue, and continued, "With such an empty Liyue, would anyone really come here?"
"There will be, and even if there isn't, there will still be you and me."
Zhongli replied with an unchanged expression.
"That's... So what are we going to do tonight?"
"..."
Morax, one of the seven archons in the world, surely wouldn't make her sleep in the open, would he?
Traveler might have no choice, especially in the early stages, but Zhongli was different.
Zhongli touched his chin, deep in thought.
Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, a golden amber light flashed in his eyes.
"Building an interior realm is simple."
Paimon had some knowledge of interior realms.
After all, Grandma Ping had given the traveler an interior world known as the Serenitea Pot.
"Are you talking about the Serenitea Pot?"
"Almost."
"I see."
Paimon touched her chin, mimicking Zhongli's thoughtful gesture, as if she had suddenly realized something.
So, the question arose: what should the interior realm created by Zhongli be called?
Mora Pot? Morax Pot?
Well, this was a question worth pondering.
Zhongli looked at Paimon thoughtfully.
When it came to worlds and realms, he seemed to recall information he had received from a half-plane when he first transmigrated...
This plane was called the Undead Plane, created by Electrolux, the Undead Scourge.
The reason it was called a half-plane was because it lacked sunlight, the cycle of the sun and moon, mountains and rivers, and the changing of seasons.
Yet, this plane was still a real world!
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I can transform it then."
Shaking his head, he set these thoughts aside for now.
Suddenly, Zhongli seemed to remember something, and an amber light flashed in his hand.
Paimon recognized what this golden object was but didn't understand why Zhongli had summoned it.
As the Geo Archon, Zhongli possessed a unique power, the ability to mint Mora!
{Mora = Currency}
He could mint Mora at any time, but he didn't do so indiscriminately, which was why he often forgot to bring money.
It was hard to imagine Morax living without Mora!
"This is the first Mora in another world, and I'm giving it to you."
Zhongli handed the Mora to Paimon, who accepted it with a puzzled expression.
"Zhongli, you... Aren't you thinking of... releasing Mora, are you?"
"Yes."
Paimon: "..."
The merger of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent still hadn't changed the dominance of the Golden Soul Coin on the Douluo Continent.
Zhongli was only here in Liyue... If he released Mora on this island, could he succeed?
Would people even recognize it?
After all, Zhongli didn't have the same influence in this other world as he did in Teyvat!
Though confused, Paimon still took the Mora handed to her by Zhongli.
After all, this was the first Mora in another world.
Back in Liyue, some old scholars had studied what the Geo Archon did when he created the first Mora.
That was a famous scene!
"Do you understand the Geo Archon, or do I understand the Geo Archon?"
They didn't know that it was the Geo Archon on the other side!
Time passed, and a few days went by in the blink of an eye.
In those few days, the events at Shrek Academy had spread to nearly every corner of the Douluo Continent!
The emperors of various nations were the first to receive the news, and without hesitation, they immediately announced it to their people.
The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, in particular, spared no effort in publicizing the matter, ensuring that every subject of the Star Luo Empire would learn of it.
"A god... Martial God!"
"This is no impostor like Xian Lin'er, but a true god capable of contending with the Sea God!"
"...the East Sea."
Reports from the East Sea confirmed that a peerless powerhouse had indeed appeared there, creating an island through sheer divine power!
The East Sea lies at the junction of the Douling Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and by all accounts, it could also be considered part of the Star Luo Empire.
"Jiujiu, you go and deliver construction supplies to this Martial God. Show that the Star Luo Empire is willing to form a permanent alliance with Liyue and the Martial God!"
Since the Star Crown Sext came to power, they had struggled to gain the support of many nobles.
This was largely because the Dai family had clung to the coattails of the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago, and they had an ancestor who had ascended to godhood.
Now, a new god had emerged, one who had destroyed Shrek Academy from the very beginning and was beyond the reach of even Tang San himself.
With the backing of such a being, would the nobles still refuse to support them?
The Emperor of the Star Luo Empire thought this way, and the Emperor of the Douling Empire shared the same sentiment.
This was no mere Title Douluo, this was a god!
A god capable of altering the fate of the entire continent!
Almost as soon as they received the news, both the Star Luo Empire and the Douling Empire dispatched envoys with supplies to the East Sea.
If they could act swiftly, they might secure the favor of this god.
After receiving the imperial decree, the envoys hastily gathered the supplies and rushed toward the East Sea.
