    In the 66th year of the San calendar, Pusuote gradually formed its special political and religious systems under the leadership of the high priest Cetisius. The heavenly pce divided the world into three parts, which were the heavenly world, the underworld, and the human world.


    All of the gods lived in the heavenly world and were under the control of Randil, the god of the sky, while Cetisius, the spokesman of gods on earth who imed to be the inheritor of the will of gods, supervised the world of the humans.


    Arge number of tribes and ns and believers of the heavenly pce were under the management of Cetisius. They built the Pusuote Kingdom, which was not ruled by the tribal leaders or n leaders. Instead, the high priest held the position of kingship and ruled over it.


    In the 66th year of the San calendar, under the leadership of Cetisius, the Kingdom of Pusuote started a conquest campaign against the surrounding tribes and ns. Soon, Cetisius conquered the surrounding regions and spread the beliefs of the heavenly pce to all corners of Southwest Batko.


    He then unified all of the tribes and ns of the Hascher River before setting his sights further afield. The army of the Kingdom of Pusuote then crossed the Aro River into the tribal area of Inpot. It took less than a month to destroy this ancient tribe, which had hundreds of years of history and traditions.


    At this time, the Pusuote Kingdom upied nearly a quarter of the area of Batko, which shocked everyone. However, some people discovered that, in the barren southwest portion of the Batko region, a powerful country had arisen.


    Apparently, the conquest movement of Cetisius and the rise of the kingdom of Pusuote had immediately caught the attention of these surrounding tribes. So, a war soon raged between them, filling the wholend of Batko. It was not only a struggle fornd, but also a confrontation between vary different beliefs and cultures!

    In the heart of Harraf, the Sea of Death, the hot air was able to melt everything. As such, there was nothing there but sand.


    The whole area looked somewhat hazy and vague due to the sizzling heat. It was so hot, when people stepped on the sand, they could hear the sound of their feet burning.


    This was the forbidden ce of the Sea of Death. In that ce, no living creatures survived. If ordinary people entered there, they would be dehydrated and die within a few hours. Moreover, because of the unique geographical environment, people could not tell which direction they were facing at any given time.


    The most terrible thing was that there were a lot of monsters there, all of which had adapted to hostile desert environments. As such, these monsters had extraordinary powers and enjoyed living there very much.


    Boom!


    Strange sounds echoed throughout the Sea of Death. Instantly, in the depths of the dunes, among glowing lights, a castle arose.


    The castle was a dozen meters high and was built with iron. It was exquisite and magnificent. It had ample space, and all of its avable space had been smartly utilized.


    It was a movable grand castle, dashing across this desert’s forbiddennd, looking down on everything. It had a caterpir base, which was several meters high. In a modern person’s view, the castle looked like a huge caterpir truck!


    The castle was running fast in the desert, blowing sand and dust everywhere. A group of giant iron-headed lizards were chasing it, as if they were chasing enemies on the battlefield.


    However, as the castle turned around, its giant base crushed past the iron-headed lizards, crunching them into pieces as it went. The few surviving panic-stricken lizards immediately fled.


    Finally, the castle went deep into the desert’s forbiddennd and stopped at a huge mountain ridge. The bare mountain ridge was ck and it stretched hight into the sky.


    As this mountain range formed a natural blockade against sandstorms, inside it, a calm small world existed. There was a pure supply of groundwater that gushed out of the ground and formedkes.


    This was especially significant because water was the source of life. Thanks to this water source, a small green zone had gradually appeared in the center of this forbidden desert area.


    However, Lu Zhiyu was still not satisfied with this big toy that he had made. He had attempted to master alchemy, but all he had been able to make was this bizarre castle!


    “I can’t believe that after failing to make a floating city, I even can’t make something that runs with two feet! The caterpir base is so ugly. In fact, it’s abominable!” Lu Zhiyu mumbled to himself.


    After his breakthrough in mechanical alchemy, Lu Zhiyu had made this castle, which had been a dream of his since childhood. However, after driving it around the desert a few times, Luzhiyu was no longer interested in it.


    When Lu Zhiyu was trying to make a floating castle, he realized that it was almost impossible with his current capacity. So, he had given up and made this castle instead. To keep it moving, he had added the caterpir.


    But, the final product turned out to be totally different from what he had imagined. But, Eva was very interested in this big toy, so she drove it around all day through the desert, and she and Lu Zhiyu lived together within it.


    As the whole Sea of Death was uninhabited, they could drive fast without bumping into any obstacles. However, some businessmen who passed through nearby regions of the Sea of Death, as well as Batko residents who lived in the nearby oasis, could see the moving castle from afar.


    The story of the moving castle had spread to the remote areas of Batko via traveling merchants. Everyone was saying that there was a mysterious and horrible mobile castle that was kept deep in the desert. People who saw it were warned to not approach it, as once anyone entered the desert, they would never be able to get out!


    Lu Zhiyu didn’t care about all these silly stories and only focused his attentions to his own affairs at present. He and Eva drove around all day, seeing different scenery, racing with animals in the desert, running along the water source and observing the rising and setting of the sun. As such, he found these days to be very pleasant.


    One day, the mobile castle stopped at a ck ridge. Once it stopped, the caterpir folded itself up and went inside the bottom of the castle, which was located next to the ridge.


    Eva, who controlled the mobile castle, walked down the stairs and saw Lu Zhiyu in theboratory, ying with a bronze statue ghost. This ghost had undergone tremendous changespared to the original bronze statue ghost!
