The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

After listening to Nu Si's words, Zeng Shen nodded and said, "Put Hundredfold City aside for now. I have an important and urgent task for you."

"My Lord, what is the mission?" Nu Si asked.

Zeng Shen pointed at Augrio and said, "This is Augrio, a follower of a divine messenger. But now that she has become my vampire, she is just like those elves, an illusory existence."

Upon hearing this, Nusi immediately bowed and said, "Divine Envoy, there are other deities' followers in these Hundred Mountains. Do you want Nusi to quickly send troops to conquer, capture, and destroy them?"

“That’s right. You lead 30,000 jailers, 50,000 horned demons, 10,000 succubi, and 60,000 beastmen to take a detour and rush to Zero One Mountain. Sweep it clean at any cost,” Zeng Shen said.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"By the way, capture them if you can, regardless of gender, and have Ogrio accompany you," Zeng Shen added.

"Understood, Your Excellency."

Nu Si responded and immediately issued orders, beginning to arrange his generals and mobilize his troops. Then, he rushed towards the direction of Zero One Mountain in the Hundred Mountains.

Two days later.

Zeng Shen was taming the strange beasts in Bengtie City, and then he sent these successfully tamed beasts, along with the transformed heavy armored soldiers and horned demons, towards the forty-ninth mountain.

Sudden.

A notification sound suddenly rang in his ears.

[Congratulations, former Demon Lord! Your subordinates have successfully captured the Elf Castle, Aug Castle. You may choose to destroy it or occupy and rebuild it.]

[Choose to destroy: Depending on the castle's level, you will receive a reward of 1 gold coins, and 10 wood, stone, and iron.]

[Choose to rebuild: Depending on the castle level, you will need to pay rebuilding costs: 1 gold coins, and 10 each of wood, stone, and iron.]

Upon hearing the notification, Zeng Shen's eyes lit up, and he chose to occupy and rebuild without hesitation.

After all, he has no shortage of resources and gold coins.

Moreover, they were quite interested in what could be built in that elven castle.

soon.

Another notification sounded in his ear.

[Please, former Demon Lord, rename the Elf Castle.]

“The castle is on Hill Zero One, so let’s call it Zero.” Zeng Shen pondered for a moment and then said, “Zero Castle.”

[Congratulations to the former Demon God Envoy, your name has been successfully chosen.]

[Congratulations to the original Demon God Envoy for being the first to conquer and occupy another Demon God Envoy's castle, earning a Divine Trial Points reward of +20000. Also, for being the first to choose castle reconstruction, the reward is that the reconstructed castle hall will maintain its original level.]

Upon hearing the notification, Zeng Shen immediately sat on the back of the flying beast beside him and flew towards the Zero Elf Castle.

Simultaneously.

He opened the Elf Castle construction panel and looked around, wanting to know what buildings were available in the Elf Castle.

soon.

A panel for building an elf castle appeared before his eyes.

Zeng Shen frowned and glanced at the buildings on the construction panel. He then discovered that the buildings on the panel were all similar to his original Demon Hell Castle.

It also has warehouses, markets, and unique elf guard houses and elf baptism pools.

By throwing captured intelligent races into the elven baptismal pool and consuming a considerable amount of resources, the captives can be gradually transformed into loyal elven guardians within the pool.

Of course, there's also the Unicorn Pen, which transforms mythical beasts into elven unicorn horses.

after an hour.

Zeng Shen appeared above the main hall of Zero Castle. He looked down at the massive number of strange beasts and his own men gathered in the elven castle, as well as the elven prisoners bound within.

"Looks like the results are pretty good."

Zeng Shen muttered something to himself and then flew down towards the main hall of the Elf Castle.

In front of the Elf Castle Hall.

Nu Si and Huo Xin were discussing the results of the battle when they suddenly saw Zeng Shen descending from the sky.

The two immediately stepped forward and bowed.

Afterwards, Nusi quickly reported to the leader: "My lord, upon arriving at this castle, we immediately arranged for the alien beasts to launch an attack. With the massive influx of troops, the more than ten thousand intelligent races within the castle were essentially overwhelmed by the two waves of the alien beast tide. Following your instructions, we did not cause excessive bloodshed and captured all its followers, however..."

"But what."

Zeng Shen asked.

"My lord, the envoy of this castle is extremely powerful. Despite our pursuit, he led several hundred third-tier elves and used spatial skills to escape into the mountains," Nusi said.

Zeng Shen squinted and said, "This divine messenger is fleeing towards the mountains. It seems his intention is quite clear. The god of this divine messenger is not willing to let this end. He wants them to go to the elven town of Hundredfold in the middle of the mountains to win over the elves there and wait for an opportunity to hide back in this castle and make a comeback."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Nusi nodded and continued, "So, as soon as we took this place, we arranged for two teams to set off from Mount Zero-One and head towards Mount Zero-Two, quickly conquering all the way to Mount Fifty in the center of the mountains. Then, together with the troops from Mount Forty-Nine, we surrounded Mount Fifty."

"Surrounding without attacking?"

Huo Xin nodded in agreement, “That’s right. Divine Envoy, now is the time when they are most united and determined to fight the enemy. If we launch an attack directly, we will encounter the strongest resistance. But if we surround them without attacking, they will face a series of problems such as food, housing, and management, which will create conflicts. Battle can divert and cover up these conflicts.”

"So you plan to surround them without attacking, let their conflicts escalate, and when their food supplies are running low, they will take the initiative to attack. At that time, we will change from the attacker to the defender and slowly wear them down," Zeng Shen said.

Huo Xin replied, "Yes, Your Excellency. According to our calculations, that mountain area will gather as many as 800,000 elves."

Zeng Shen squinted and said, "If you devour these 800,000 elves, conquering this world will be a piece of cake. I look forward to hearing good news from you."

“Divine Envoy, we have fulfilled our mission.” Nu Si and Huo Xin bowed.

"Alright, you can go about your business." Zeng Shen waved his hand and walked towards the group of prisoners.

He walked up to the six male dark elves who were bound and unable to move.

Zeng Shen threw a Spying Eye at the six dark elves.

It turned out that one of them was a Dark Elf priest with the aptitude of a lord and the strength of a third-tier warrior, named Arcane Gold.

Ao'anjin glared at Zeng Shen, about to speak, when Zeng Shen swiftly raised his foot and kicked him and the dark elf beside him to the ground.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully defeated several powerful dark elves by catching them off guard and overcoming their superior strength. Your survival points have increased by 12000.]

Upon hearing the notification, Zeng Shen smiled slightly, grabbed the Dark Gold, and tossed it into the nearby Elven Baptism Pool.

In an instant, the Dark Gold sank into the elven baptismal pool and disappeared.

Zeng Shen opened the Elf Baptism Pool and saw him appear in the list. He immediately spent some resources to transform him into an Elf Guardian.

For an instant.

Arcane Artificial transformed into an elven guard, teleported out of the Baptismal Pool, and appeared before Zeng Shen, bowing respectfully:
"Oranjin greets Your Excellency."

At that moment, Zeng Shen heard a notification sound again.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully killed a powerful dark elf and gained 2000 survival points.]
