Additionally, as the leading strategist of the Weaving Shadow Nest, this fellow's attributes in Spirit and Intelligence remain unchanged, only making slight progress in Constitution and Strength.

However, this fellow is after all a mount, his status is not quite the same as Sarah and Octo, so Luo Yan naturally did not have such high expectations, and therefore still spoke with an encouraging tone.

"Well done, Alakdo! I hope you will continue to work hard and aspire to one day surpass Lady Alachinos."

While smiling, Luo Yan patted his big head and then turned his gaze towards Sarah who was standing by.

"Take me around the vicinity and let me see how well my minions have built our Outpost Fortress!"

Sarah happily accepted the command.

"Yes, Lord Demon King."

Following behind Sarah, Luo Yan left the Transmission Room located in the castle's basement, heading towards the grand hall of the Outpost Fortress.

There stood a Demon King Statue made of granite, surrounded by a circle of Faith Crystals brimming with surging energy!

These were the Power of Faith collected by the Guardian Clan Acolytes through prayer.

Perhaps due to the scarcity of living creatures, the "per capita available Power of Faith" in this world was exceptionally abundant, with dozens of Acolytes collecting 40,000 Faith Value in just a few days!

This amount of Power of Faith is enough to elevate four Black Iron Level players to Bronze!

In comparison, at the Great Graveyard, the efficiency of these Acolytes collecting Power of Faith might only be a quarter or even less, and it would have to be combined with the prayers of regular worshippers to achieve the same effect.

Although this planet is desolate and barren, the fact that it is rich in Power of Faith alone is enough for Luo Yan to value this Outpost Fortress.

After all, the stronger the players are, the more cards he has in his hand.

Moreover, the Power of Faith is not only usable by players, but also by himself and other subordinates loyal to him.

Once his strength breaks through Gold and even Platinum, he will consider letting his minions also enjoy the pleasure of a Soul Upgrade.

Watching the Demon King stand in front of the Demon King Statue, a Lizardman Monk approached him, speaking respectfully.

"My Lord, as per your instructions, we have stored the Power of Faith in these crystals, please review them!"

"You have done well, please keep it up."

Luo Yan nodded in appreciation, and in the presence of all Acolytes, he absorbed the Power of Faith into his Divine.

Witnessing this scene, the Acolytes stood in solemn respect, their expressions becoming even more devout.

Only Divine beings can absorb the Power of Faith attached to offerings; for mortals and ordinary demons, while they can collect faith, they cannot directly use it.

Therefore, in a sense, what Luo Yan was doing at this moment was almost akin to demonstrating a divine miracle to them in the capacity of a Divine being.

Had this been in Demon City, Luo Yan would never have done such.

No matter how tempting the Faith Crystals under the Demon God Statue at the Temple on Elm Street were, he never coveted them.

If it were discovered that he could use the Power of Faith for himself, the Truth Department would take care of him in minutes.

But this is Chaos, and since those present are all his believers, Luo Yan didn't hide it so cautiously.

The leading acolyte nodded slightly and spoke with a respectful and earnest voice.

"Understood!"

Luo Yan nodded and didn't linger there. Instead, he followed Sarah towards the front of the great hall, stepping into the area active with players.

This area belonged to the new map's "Moral Square," mainly where players formed teams, accepted quests, and traded materials, wearing heavy armor engraved with Netherworld Language. The undead and demons were coming and going in the spacious hall.

The players active in this era were mostly "big shots" above the Black Iron Level.

Some were discussing strategies, others sat on the ground running their stalls, selling equipment or themselves, and a few were just there to join in on the excitement and sightseeing.

Compared to the Maze, Kao Planet was a decent leveling spot, though the only downside was the materials dropped by monsters were relatively singular, which is why not all players liked it here.

Luo Yan didn't hope for all players to come either.

Firstly, the Great Graveyard also needed people, and secondly, the local human resources investment showed obvious diminishing marginal utility effects.

The main role of the players here was to ensure the military presence of the Great Graveyard on Kao Planet and to harass the Chaotic Forces. As for the "Blood Crystals" gained by the players from defeating monsters, he had not yet figured out a way to utilize them.

The power flowing within those crystals also belonged to Extraordinary Power but was different from any known type on the Aus Continent.

And the reason Luo Yan dispatched Miranda here was precisely to unravel this mystery and find a method to utilize that crimson energy.

At the very least, converting them into Demon Crystals usable on the Aus Continent would be good too.

Compared to the Demon Crystals dropped by the monsters of Aus Continent, these crystals, which condense the essence of the monster's flesh and blood, were clearly much purer and larger.

Seeing the Demon King suddenly appear in Moral Square, the passing players cast surprised glances his way.

They weren't so much surprised about the Demon King suddenly appearing here, but more astonished that he had disappeared for a long time and had now suddenly shown up again.

"That's really strange... I didn't even notice, has our Demon King been offline for a week?"

"Spending half a day in this place?"

"Wait a minute, I remember that this fortress was just picked up by Yiye Zhiqiu and the others a few days ago, right?"

"Did this guy go back to Demon City to find a match for marriage?"

"Pfft—"

"Who cares what he's been up to, I just want to grind and level up!"

The players chatted and speculated for a while but didn't come to any conclusion, so before long, they stopped paying attention to him.

Luo Yan had no plans to interfere with the players' gaming process, at least not now.

He strolled around the square for a bit and then went straight to the entrance of the castle.

It just so happened to be the time for the patrol team to switch shifts, and Sano was checking on the guards at the entrance of the castle.

Seeing Luo Yan appear at the entrance of the castle, a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face, and he put down his work at hand to greet him.

"Lord Demon King... What brings you here?"
