346: Chapter 347 Arranging the Awakening of the Succubi

Of course, before officially setting off for that unknown land described by Elena as a radiant and holy place—the Angel World—Lin Muyang decided to return to Blue Star first to handle some accumulated affairs and make more thorough preparations for the upcoming new adventure.

Stepping through the spatial rift stably maintained by Gui Wanwan, the familiar air, carrying the unique scent of a modern city, rushed into his nostrils. The time flow on Blue Star was slightly different from the Elf World; since his last departure, about half a month had passed on Blue Star. For the recently established World Guardian Organization, these two weeks had been a crucial period of foundation-laying and rapid development.

Under the vigorous and skillful management of Xu Ruohan, the Sword-Bearer personally appointed by Lin Muyang, this organization—aimed at protecting the basic survival of Blue Star's human civilization and resisting supernatural world-ending threats—had already established its preliminary framework and begun absorbing nutrients with astonishing efficiency, growing rapidly.

The organization's headquarters was temporarily set up in a remote but relatively accessible secret valley in Huaxia, undergoing large-scale expansion and dual reinforcement with magic and technology based on existing military facilities.

Towering command towers, various functional training venues, material warehouses, and research facilities rose from the ground. Although there was no flamboyant signage, an Aura of solemnity, efficiency, and readiness to face all challenges already permeated every corner of the base.

The core framework within the organization was now clear. Xu Ruohan was undoubtedly the overall decision-maker and supreme commander; her wisdom, decisiveness, and special relationship with Lin Muyang made her position at the center convincing. Shen Muyao, utilizing the excellent coordination skills, extensive network, and growing strength she had accumulated in the Oracle Organization, was responsible for external relations, elite recruitment, and some internal personnel management.

As for the young ladies under Lin Muyang's command, they also took on important roles within the organization, or at least became its most dazzling and deterrent military calling cards.

Gu Xiaoyu and Gu Shuanglin, the sister pair, were no longer what they used to be after experiencing high-intensity training in Atlantis, breaking through with sky-opening grade Elemental Essence, and receiving Lin Muyang's unreserved investment of resources (including the tears of the angel).

Chiba Ruri combined the trickery of ninjutsu with Class Transferee skills to become a top-tier scout and infiltration expert. Her cloning and stealth abilities played irreplaceable roles in multiple missions.

Because these young ladies had followed Lin Muyang for a long time and enjoyed the most abundant resources, their talents had now all been raised to at least the sub-god level, and their strength sat firmly at the top tier of Blue Star. As for the Demigod Level or even higher God-rank, that would require more accumulation, opportunities, and more precious tears of the angel.

Lin Muyang held higher expectations for them, but resource allocation required balance; their further breakthroughs would be realized gradually through future adventures and achievements.

In addition to these core members, the organization had recruited the first batch of true elites from across the globe using standards so strict they were almost harsh. There were not many, only about thirty people, but every single one possessed at least an SS-Rank Talent. Their temperament, strength, and past records had been scrutinized through layers of vetting; they were all top-tier existences in their respective fields.

Among them were long-famous lone powerhouses, inheritors of hidden families, battle-hardened special warriors, and scholar-type mages devoted to research. Being able to pass the audit and join was, in itself, a supreme recognition and opportunity. The organization's framework, philosophy, and displayed strength had already made the name 'World Guardian Organization' a synonym for mystery, power, and boundless potential within the world's top circles.

Lin Muyang briefly listened to the reports from Xu Ruohan and Shen Muyao, expressing satisfaction with the organization's progress. He did not interfere much in specific affairs, only re-emphasizing the tone he had set: quality over quantity, character over talent, and the will to protect above all else. He delegated the daily operations entirely to them, intervening only when his presence as a 'great god' was needed or when unconventional military support was required.

After handling the organizational affairs, Lin Muyang turned his attention to another group of his people who needed to be settled—Elabess's more than three hundred succubus clanswomen.

Since being brought back to Blue Star by Lin Muyang, these beauties from the Dark Abyss had been living in a secluded, heavily guarded independent living area he had arranged. But this couldn't be a long-term solution; they needed to integrate into the new world, master their own power, and find their own place.

Thus, Lin Muyang took Elabess and personally visited this residential area, which was privately nicknamed the Succubus Manor.

Upon learning of their master's arrival, the more than three hundred succubi—each with a different charm yet all possessing soul-stirring beauty and fiery figures—gathered on the manor's central lawn like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix.

They had clearly dressed up carefully today. Following Lin Muyang's previous request to be mindful of their influence, their attire, while still perfectly outlining their stunning curves, consisted of various formal dresses in black, white, red, and purple... It was as if three hundred delicate flowers from the demon realm had suddenly bloomed. Their eyes sparkled with shifting glances and charming smiles, and the air was filled with a sweet fragrance and irrepressible excitement.

“Master is going to take us to change classes!”

“Wonderful! Finally, we can gain power just like Elabess!”

“I wonder what class we'll become? Will we be Dark Mages like Elabess?”

“Probably something similar; we are all born darlings of the darkness, after all~”

The air was filled with the sound of warbling voices and hushed whispers full of anticipation. Regarding the class change, they had already learned a bit from the mouths of Elabess and the occasionally visiting young ladies like Gui Wanwan, knowing this was a key step to gaining power and establishing themselves in the new world.

Lin Muyang's gaze swept across this beautiful scenery, enough to make any normal male's blood boil. Even with his current mental state, he felt his composure being tested. He gave a light cough, suppressed the stray thoughts in his heart, and said loudly:

“Quiet.”

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty, instantly silencing all the succubi. Pairs of charming eyes filled with awe and anticipation looked toward him in unison.

“You will go to Lilia's hometown, which is the Elf World we just left, to complete your class change there,” Lin Muyang explained. “I have verified that although you are not native creatures of Blue Star, you can still change classes normally at the class change platform in that world. After completing the change and gaining basic power, you will return to Blue Star, and I will designate a specific area for you to develop and train.”

He had made this arrangement after careful consideration. The Elf World was currently in the early stages of universal class changes, and the management of the class change platforms was relatively standardized. Furthermore, with the Radiant Empire under his control, he could ensure the process was safe and smooth.

On Blue Star, his control was even stronger. He could easily set aside a large safe zone specifically for these succubi to level up and hone their skills. This would prevent them from encountering unnecessary danger in an unfamiliar environment—especially since their looks would easily attract trouble in chaotic areas—and would also prevent their power and identities from causing excessive attention or panic on Blue Star too early.

“Xiao Wan will be responsible for escorting you and guiding you through the entire class change process.” Lin Muyang looked at the quiet, black-haired girl beside him.

Gui Wanwan nodded slightly. Her cold little face showed no expression, but a glint of understanding regarding the mission flashed in her eyes.

Hearing this, the succubi let out another round of suppressed cheers, their eyes filled with gratitude and dependence as they looked at Lin Muyang.

Under Gui Wanwan's efficient organization, the class change process proceeded in an orderly fashion. Lin Muyang did not follow them the whole way, only keeping track of the results through Xiao Wan's real-time reports.

The results were somewhat unexpected. The talents of these three hundred-plus succubi were generally quite good! The worst was A-rank, S-rank accounted for nearly a third, and there were even a dozen or so outstanding individuals with natural SS-Rank Talents! This overall talent level was actually a notch higher than Elabess's had been initially! It seemed that while the environment of the Dark Abyss was harsh, it truly could filter and produce individuals with extraordinary talent.

Of course, the current Elabess was no longer the same. As Lin Muyang's woman, she was connected to his soul, enjoying the highest-level Aura buffs and resource allocation. Her talent had been raised to the sub-god level through the tears of the angel and her own efforts, and her combat power far exceeded her peers.

More importantly, she possessed a privilege other succubi did not—as long as she wasn't killed within the Dark Abyss itself, she could be resurrected within the Dark Abyss! This was a rule-based guarantee brought about by their contract.

As for the other succubi, no matter how high their talent, they were ultimately just ordinary Class Transferees; death would be true annihilation. Their future growth ceiling would largely depend on the investment of resources.

Thinking of this, Lin Muyang lightly rubbed the space between his eyebrows. The tears of the angel were still not enough.

Although Elena worked very hard and could produce dozens of precious tears of the angel every day, it was still a drop in the bucket for Lin Muyang's current massive demand. He not only had to raise the talent of the core young ladies around him but also consider the talent upgrades for people like Elabess's clanswomen, the core members of the Radiant Empire, and even potential future core members. Every drop of the tears of the angel had to be calculated carefully.

“Perhaps I should think of a way to address the source.” With a thought, Lin Muyang had someone summon Elena.

A moment later, Elena, wearing a snow-white maid outfit with golden hair like woven sunlight and a face of holy perfection, approached Lin Muyang with light steps. She seemed to sense something; her little face flushed slightly, and a trace of subtle nervousness and anticipation lingered in her azure eyes.

“Master, did you call for me?”

“Yes, Elena, I have a question for you.” Lin Muyang signaled for her to sit, his tone gentle. “Regarding the tears of the angel you produce—in your world, are you the only one who can generate them? Or can other angels do it too?”

Elena blinked, seemingly not expecting Lin Muyang to ask this. She answered naturally: “Of course it's not just me. As long as they possess a certain level of purity in their angel bloodline, tears shed when their emotions reach an extreme can contain holy power, forming tears of the angel. So in my home, female angels with high-order bloodlines hold very respected positions; their tears are very precious blessed items and alchemy materials.”

A sharp light flashed in Lin Muyang's eyes. Just as he thought! The tears of the angel weren't a specialty unique to Elena, but a common output of high-order female angels in that world! What did this mean? It meant that if he could visit Elena's hometown, he might find more and higher-grade sources for the tears of the angel! He might even discover ways to increase the yield or quality of the tears!

“I see...” Lin Muyang said thoughtfully, then asked, “Elena, you mentioned before that the powerhouses of your world are roughly equivalent to what level of Class Transferee on Blue Star?”

Elena tilted her head and thought for a moment, saying somewhat uncertainly, “Um... ordinary adult angel warriors are probably equivalent to level 150 to 200 on Blue Star? Elite guardian angels or captain-level ones might be over level 200. Beyond that are the Archangels, Powers, and the legendary Seraphim... I'm not too sure about them. They might be even stronger—level 300? Level 400? I was just an ordinary little angel; I've never seen those big figures go all out...”

Her voice grew quieter as she spoke, seemingly feeling that the information she provided wasn't accurate enough. She felt a bit embarrassed, her fair cheeks turning redder. She took out an exquisitely shaped silver-white short bow flowing with a faint holy glow from a small storage ring. Holding it in both hands, she added softly, “This was given to me by the nanny who looked after me before I left. It's said to be modeled after the style of a certain Princess's bow. It's considered decent equipment where I come from. The Princesses and the others must be even more powerful.”

Lin Muyang took the short bow. It felt warm to the touch and was made of extraordinary material. By his judgment, it was at least a legendary-grade weapon, which would be considered a divine artifact on the Horn Continent and top-tier equipment on Blue Star, but to him, it really wasn't much. What he cared more about was the information revealed in Elena's words.

“Angel Princesses... higher-level angels...” Lin Muyang handed the short bow back to Elena, a smile appearing on his face—a smile that suggested a plan had formed. “It seems it really is necessary to pay a visit to your hometown. And while we're at it, we can see if we can ask your Princess to generously shed some tears of the angel as well.”

Hearing this, Elena's face turned beet red, and she nervously twisted her fingers. “Mas... Master... Her Highness the Princess is very majestic. And since I've been away for so long, the nanny will definitely scold me to death. I might even be put in solitary confinement...”

“Don't worry.” Lin Muyang reached out and gently rubbed her soft golden hair, his tone carrying a reassuring power. “If I take you back, I won't let you suffer any grievances. We are going as guests, and incidentally to talk about some cooperation. Of course, the prerequisite is that we must have enough sincerity and strength.”

His tone shifted, and his gaze became deep. “According to your description, if the top powerhouses of your world already possess a foundation equivalent to Demigod Level or even higher talent, then their actual combat power is likely even more terrifying than those top powerhouses in Atlantis who relied on sky-opening grade Elemental Essence to forcibly raise their strength. To be safe, before we go to your home, we'd better improve our own hard power first.”

Just then, the communication runestone he had left in the Atlantis World vibrated. Sinking his consciousness into it, he learned that three thousand kilometers west of Stanro City, a newly stabilized mythical-rank secret realm with terrifying energy fluctuations had been detected! The energy levels leaking from the entrance suggested the monsters inside were between level 140 and 150, and there was a high possibility of a mythical-rank BOSS!

An astonishing light suddenly erupted in Lin Muyang's eyes!

“A mythical-rank secret realm! It came at just the right time!”

A mythical-rank secret realm meant there was a high possibility of producing large quantities of heaven-opening grade equipment and skill books. This was the best way to fully arm himself and the young ladies around him, transforming their theoretical strength into actual crushing combat power!

“Elena, get ready. We'll rest briefly, then head to Atlantis first!” Lin Muyang ordered decisively, his voice filled with soaring fighting spirit. “We'll grind levels, farm equipment, and arm ourselves to the teeth! Then, we'll go visit your hometown in grand style!”
