Zhao Guang did not leave immediately, but first went to investigate his industry challenges.

There are some things he needs to understand himself. Although his industry is flourishing thanks to efforts on all fronts, it has still been affected, particularly his gemstone business.

There's no helping it, as chaos across the world has led to a plummeting price of gemstones.

Moreover, the shipping rate is quite low. Fortunately, these are all low-end commodities, while the high-end ones are still easy to ship.

Additionally, with domestic market development, various gemstones have started to become more common.

Zhao Guang supplemented the various gemstones consumed during this period before leaving this place. Over at his territory, there are many matters requiring his personal attention.

The floating city construction project is still ongoing. Although materials are no longer lacking, the technology is still insufficient.

Zhao Guang needs to first study the theory, then proceed with the next step; therefore, this stage is extremely slow.

The demigod-level Mage Tower is gone. The only higher-level entity is the floating city. Or perhaps something else exists, but Zhao Guang himself doesn't know, nor would anyone tell him.

Even if he truly knew, acquiring knowledge at this level is certainly not an easy task.

Thus, he needs to conduct his own research, which is indeed a gigantic undertaking.

If it weren't for the Wisdom Tower's capability for large-scale deductions, Zhao Guang would absolutely give up, as it's troublesome even for him. Without the Wisdom Tower, it would be extremely difficult to accomplish.

Although the floating city cannot be successfully built, the ocean-going ships can still be completed.

In fact, as long as the floating battleship is simplified to a certain extent, these ships can be realized.

Presently, in his own country, more floating battleships are being secretly constructed. It can't really be called secret, just not widely publicized, as the truly top forces can still be aware of this matter.

Accompanied by the emergence of two demigods in the territory, their power has reached its peak.

At this moment, even if he constructs more floating battleships, no one would feel threatened.

After all, two demigods pose a far greater threat than many floating battleships.

Simplified ships do not need to hover in the air; they only need to float on the sea. The structure, along with some components, requires only a not-so-high-level core to operate.

As this engineering project commences, large amounts of ships are continuously being built.

To open up the sea routes, Zhao Guang dispatched a large number of Fishmen and Naga.

Even Sephidya personally set out for this purpose, ready to immediately summon Zhao Guang in reverse at the first hint of danger. With demigods escorting, establishing the sea routes became easier.

The sea is an unknown domain for humans, yet top-tier creatures are certainly not numerous.

Otherwise, it would not be entirely implausible for sea creatures to eradicate land creatures directly.

Sea creatures aren't adapted to land, but not absolutely, besides, aren't there also ocean divine beings?

Of course, relying solely on Zhao Guang's power, thoroughly establishing the sea routes remains a tough task. Along the path, they crossed numerous territories of the Sea Clan and ocean magical beasts.

Some were directly eradicated, while others needed Zhao Guang to negotiate personally.

He cannot just kill his way through; doing so would not only cause tremendous trouble but also leave a power vacuum in the territories eradicated. At that time, creatures from other places, both sea beasts and Sea Clan alike, would come rushing in.

At that point, surely he wouldn't want to eradicate them all over again; that would be endless.

Zhao Guang can only negotiate, using his power to intimidate the opposing side while also offering them some benefits.

What the other side has to do is to protect his sea route. Only the section on the water is required, and it's not always occupied, so their overall impact is minimal.

Under the suppression of his power, the journey remained rather smooth.

Busy all the way until this year's Harvest Festival, these two sea routes were finally established.

One route goes from the Delan Continent to his Bay Island, while the other stretches from Bay Island to the Borick Continent.

Bay Island, as his initial Land of Faith, has become the core of his faith islands, not to mention being the largest. As a hub connecting two locations, maritime trade will thrive here.

Different continents inherently have various resources available for trade.

Though he can establish cross-continental teleportation gates, there cannot be too many of these teleportation gates.

Otherwise, constant space opening risks causing extensive damage to the main space. Zhao Guang discovered this after constructing some space gates and teleportation arrays.

The ones already established are better left untouched, or else it would be wasteful, but subsequent measures should be considered carefully.

It's due to this reason, along with the voluminous resources available for exchange, that Zhao Guang chose to advance seafaring ships.

At this moment, the largest ship has been successfully built, its size is much greater than that of a floating battleship. Of course, that's just size, as its actual strength isn't as high.

Nonetheless, this massive battleship can indeed rival the combat power of the Legendary Level.

From a distance, this battleship looks like a small island; the closer one gets, the more awe-inspiring it becomes.

Surrounded by many escort battleships, these use the same technology but are significantly smaller in size.

Some of these battleships possess combat power equivalent to Super Professionals, but the weakest ones can only compare to Advanced Professionals. Naturally, such vessels are much smaller, primarily tasked with escort duties.

There are also some extraordinarily large ships among them, which lack combat power, only responsible for cargo transport.

Under the influence of magic energy machinery, these ships move swiftly, with substantial carrying capacity.

With both routes opened, maritime trade gradually develops. Concurrently, a seafood market boom exploded from the Lolosibi Kingdom, as the sea clans have already arrived there.

Upon discovering Zhao Guang's ability to control numerous Sea Clans, King Lolosibi could only smile wryly.

No wonder he dared claim the coastal areas; it turns out it was because of this matter.

There's one more thing, which is the expansion of the Sea Clan isn't so smooth. Unlike the minimal impact of his route establishment, Sea Clan expansion requires direct warfare just like land countries expanding.

Now the warfare has reached the boiling point; it's far from over.
