[You have defeated the Shepherd God Race Lord—Heaven Chasing Lord (Mythical-tier Advance Grade)!]
[You have obtained 200,000 battlefield points!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained 10 ranking points!]
[Your ranking score is now 900, and your current battlefield ranking is 1st. Continue participating in matches and earning ranking points to maintain or improve your position.]
[You must participate in at least one ranking match every 24 hours. Failure to do so will result in a deduction of 10 ranking points!]
[You may now return to your territory.]
"It's finally complete. Now I can obtain another talent like Abel's."
Zhou Zhou muttered as the fourth-ranked Lord in the Myriad Races Battlefield event surrendered.
"Return."
Uttering the command, he left the battlefield and returned to the war room.
"Let's take a break. We'll resume in an hour."
He said to the trio before teleporting to the Summoning Gate.
Upon arriving before the crystal-like portal, he opened the battlefield shop.
[Battlefield Shop (Mythical-tier Advance Grade)]
[Available Battlefield Points: 10,075,000]
[1. Kingdom Token (Remaining Purchases: 1) — 10,000,000 Battlefield Points]
[2. Supreme Treasure Chest (Remaining Purchases: 1) — 10,000,000 Battlefield Points]
[3. True God-tier Recruitment Card (Remaining Purchases: 1) — 10,000,000 Battlefield Points]

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Zhou selected the third item and confirmed his purchase of the recruitment card.
The prospect of obtaining another soldier like Abel, someone who could fully utilize the Dreamland Tower, was incredibly appealing to him.
"Just imagine gaining several weeks' or even months' worth of training results in a matter of hours, while others can only achieve a fraction of that."
He muttered, anticipation building as he looked forward to the summoning.
He tossed the card into the portal and watched as it glowed brightly for a moment before gradually returning to its original state.
This time, a ten-year-old boy appeared before the gate.
"Wat—"
A faint voice escaped the boy's lips before he began to collapse.
Zhou Zhou immediately teleported in front of him and caught him before he could hit the ground.
Taking some water from his spatial ring, he carefully helped the boy drink.
Looking through his attributes, he learnt the child's name was Iniko.
After a few seconds, Iniko began to recover.
"T-Thank you, m-my lord."
Still nervous and recovering from his ordeal, he bowed to Zhou Zhou, following the instructions of the mysterious voice that had guided him here.
"You're welcome. Do you know where you are and why you were sent here?"
Zhou Zhou asked.
"This is Bl-Blazing Sun City, and I was sent here to serve my lord."
Keeping his head bowed, Iniko answered timidly.
Hearing his response, Zhou Zhou was satisfied that the boy understood why he had been brought here.
'I can't just leave him to live on his own, can I?'
Looking at the dark-skinned ten-year-old, Zhou Zhou pondered whom he should assign to look after him.
"She'll do."
Having made his decision, he contacted the Epic-tier Seer.
Theresa arrived within fifteen minutes and greeted her lord with a bow.
"My lord."
Zhou Zhou acknowledged her greeting with a nod before explaining why he had summoned her.
"I'll take good care of him, my lord."
Theresa replied before turning her attention to Iniko.
"Say hello to your big sister."
She smiled warmly at him.
"Hello."
Iniko's voice was barely audible, as he was still nervous around other people.
"You won't feel so nervous around me after a couple of days. Come on, let's go."
Theresa smiled reassuringly as she led the boy away.
From the conversation between his lord and the woman he now knew as his big sister, Iniko understood that she would be responsible for taking care of him until he was old enough to look after himself.
As he followed her, he silently promised to behave himself and do his best while under her care.
Having finished dealing with the newly summoned True God-tier potential, Zhou Zhou checked the promotion energy he had accumulated from the war between the Tahans, the Kobolds, and the Titans.
[Promotion Energy: 53,701,519,475 / 40,000,000]
"It's only a little over a billion. It doesn't even come close to what I obtained from the monster ranches, let alone the recruitment books."
He shook his head and closed the lord's interface.
Still making use of his break, he contacted Dai Lui to inquire about the war involving the three neighboring kingdoms.
[My lord, we're under attack at the moment. The Tahans and the Kobolds are trying to stop us from delivering the weapons to the Titans' camp.]
After reading Dai Lui's reply, Zhou Zhou was surprised that the enemy had managed to track them down so quickly.
[If you and your team can't handle the ambush, retreat immediately.]
Unwilling to risk his subjects' lives for a few additional lord talent crystals, he made sure they had a way out.
[Yes, my lord.]
A few seconds later, a reply arrived from the leader of the arms-trading team.
