Chapter 43 - Leaderboard Crown and Underground Palace

help so I can copy paWhile Ankit cultivated deep underground, his Sacral clone handled everything above—keeping life normal and dominating Free Fire.

26 September 2018. The clone bought the fifth Elite Pass and logged into alternate IDs. Main ID "Returner" already held Global #1. Now he was pushing Returner 3 to top 4.

His 4 IDs:

Returner (Main) – #1 on global leaderboard

Returner 1 – #2

Returner 2 – #3

Returner 3 – climbing fast

After 1 hour of non-stop grinding—perfect headshots, clutch revives, 40‑kill games—the clone secured top 4 with Returner 3.

Friends' ranking:

Yash: #5

Gyan: #6

Sumit: Top 7

Amit: #8

Global leaderboard locked: Returner family owns top 8 positions.

Top 9 was held by another country's player.

"Who?" Ankit had no record of this player. Name – Raby455.

Ankit thought that this player had likely started to play Free Fire because of its growing popularity so fast compared to the future timeline Ankit came from.

Sacral clone realised that this was a butterfly effect. Ankit's return changed timelines. Free Fire exploded faster—millions more players worldwide.

But Sacral clone didn't worry if another country player held top 9 position. Indian players held all top 8 positions.

And top 10 to top 20 positions were also held by Ankit's other friends like Raistar, Rakesh0007, and surprisingly a player who was chosen by Ankit for the "personalized custom and sensitivity event" held top 15 position.

Sacral clone exited the game and used his Terrain Glide technique to go underground.

He came 10 km deep into the underground and began completing his unfinished task.

Ankit had given two tasks to the Sacral clone. The tasks were to make an underground living quarters and make an agriculture field.

The clone was making living quarters for so many days so Ankit's family could live here safely without any worry.

Ankit hadn't specified the size of the underground living space, so the Sacral clone took initiative—drawing on its own understanding of grandeur and practicality.

Without hesitation, Sacral clone began crafting a palace sprawling across 500 acres beneath the earth.

Sacral clone didn't have experience in making it but with his comprehension power and his high cultivation, he quickly learned theories and made a palace design in his mind. He controlled the earth elements in the environment and began constructing the palace.

The clone poured every ounce of precision and elemental mastery into creating a subterranean paradise—a fortress and sanctuary perfectly suited to Ankit's needs. Every inch of the palace reflected its maker's determination: vast yet intimate, strong yet nurturing.

But because he was making a big fortress sprawling 500 acres, the consumption was huge. So the construction went on for several days. And now this palace was going to be completed.

After 10 hours of relentless effort, the palace was finally completed.

Ankit's 500‑acre underground palace is massive—carved deep inside a mountain range using earth control techniques.

Main features:

- Huge halls as big as football stadiums, smooth stone walls that glow softly, fire‑wisp puppets glowing and providing light in the huge fortress.

- High ceilings with crystal lights from minerals in the rock.

- Strong pillars like giant tree trunks holding everything up.

- Warm floors heated by fire‑wisp puppets, never cold.

- Training rooms, meditation caves, bedrooms, dining halls—all perfect size.

- Secret gardens with glowing plants growing in rock soil, carefully cultivated by Sacral clone using water‑type Essence Flow.

- Water supply: underground lake with water‑type Essence Flow—super healthy, refreshing, never ends.

- Bathrooms: hot showers with the help of some fire‑wisp puppets.

- Heavy stone doors guarded by earth puppets.

500 acres = 50 football fields. Every room feels like a luxury hotel but made of unbreakable stone. Perfect cultivation hideout—safe, comfortable, impressive. Also a fortress for his family.

After finishing the palace, the Sacral clone also had to make furniture for the palace.

The clone had already read all furniture‑making guides online—woodworking, upholstery, design theory. But manual labor? No. "Solar clone makes strength techniques. I make supportive/creation techniques."

Previously when he contacted the Solar clone to help in his field work, he asked what he was doing.

Solar clone had said that he was currently creating techniques so the techniques could help the main body.

So Sacral clone decided to create techniques to make furniture in an instant.

If Sacral clone made furniture for all rooms in the fortress by hand, this would be very time‑consuming.

He didn't want to waste time. So he began creating a technique. After 5 days of brain‑racking and practising it repeatedly, he created a technique—**Arborforge Symphony**.

(You all wonder when Ankit's naming skills got improved? The reason is copy‑pasting from internet and novels. After being embarrassed by his family, he decided to not name everything himself, always using novels or internet.)
