"Do you know, in the whole group, I am the only one without any achievements to show," Yan Yuehua said with a bitter smile.


    "Although I would like to ept your proposal, I cannot do it without proving myself to you and thedies," she said with a determined look.


    Hearing this, Xu Qianghua was speechless. He did not expect this to be the reason, but you couldn''t me him, as only Yan Yuehua needed to prove herself to others.


    None of the otherdies cared, and if they were told about Yan Yuehua''s feelings, they might evene running right this instant.


    But he didn''t bring it up and instead said, "I understand. But before we leave, you should know that thedies and I will be right behind you, giving you our full support."


    Although he wanted to rify that it didn''t matter to him or thedies if she had done something to prove herself, he also knew that having a goal was the best way to make someone work seriously. Without any reason, people often do things half-heartedly.


    He didn''t want this in his group, so he never said no to any of the girls and let them follow their ambitions however they liked.


    This alone had brought out so much of their talent, and it could be seen in the past year. They had managed to grow their forces to a scale that would take most people years.


    But this was just the beginning. There were still many things left to do, and this new and resource-filled world had much to gain.


    However, it wasn''t as if no new ones would grow once all the resources were taken. They would, but at an extremely slow rate, simr to how things worked in many cultivation stories.


    This led to a situation where no one was really looking for a fight. Instead, they just wanted to settle down and grow. This was when Xu Qianghua nned to consolidate their power and digest everything they had gained.


    That way, when the time came topete for resources, they wouldn''t have to worry. By then, they would be the strongest in the world.


    Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but wonder, ''Hopefully, we won''t be a viin force in some weird way in the future.''


    But he wasn''t too concerned about that. He had everything needed for the Xu family to prosper, and with three overpowered cultivators always watching over them, he didn''t have much to worry about.


    Right now, he had to wait until daybreak when Yan Yuehua returned.


    Then, she could decide if this achievement was enough or if he should send her to the Southern Continent to deal with another problem that needed attention.


    And what was that problem? It involved the Monster Race, which had be one of the new and only races besides humans.


    This had caused many internal and external conflicts, and Xu Qianghua nned to send Shadow members to handle the situation.


    His n was simple: make the Southern Continent the homnd of the Monster n. This wasn''t hard to do since no human forces were on the continent.


    The World''s Will had reserved the Southern Continent for the Monster Race because it knew that the beasts would need a ce to live after gaining sentience.


    But a few groups of poachers had discovered the continent and nned to invade it with forces from nearby areas. They aimed to raise the Monster n as pets, just like in the old world.


    This had been one of the sparks that ignited the battle with the Monster Race. Xu Qianghua wanted to avoid that, especially with the Zerg inching closer.


    He had no ns to deal with the Zerg alone. Instead, he wanted to use them as training dummies for the whole.


    This would boost everyone''s overall power and foster unity when facing external threats—an essential quality for survival.


    It wasn''t as though Xu Qianghua nned to be an Emperor who would bring everyone under one banner.


    Nor did he intend to be a global police force, using most of his resources to deal with other forces while neglecting his own.


    Doing so would weaken both sides in the long run, and he didn''t want to see that happen.


    That''s why he focused on strengthening himself while helping his wives with their respective forces.


    This would diversify their power and allow them to gain connections and resources from many fields without doing much.


    As he pondered all of this, time passed, and it was already the next day.


    Yan Yuehua and the other Shadow and Shadow Serpent members had either arrived at the temporary base where Xu Qianghua was or had already left for their assigned posts worldwide.


    Yan Yuehua, who had just killed the leader of an evil organization, felt a whirlwind of emotions. She knew that Xu Qianghua was either already there or would be arriving soon.


    But she couldn''t wait to see him. During the six months since she had expressed her desire to prove herself, she had gotten to know thedies better.


    And the more she got to know them, the more she realized that she had held some preconceived notions about them.


    These notions were fueled by their immense sess, which had ignited herpetitive spirit. But it had also blinded her to all the love and support thedies—and her master—had been giving her.


    Now, she was ready to face them and share what she had learned. She was willing to ept whatever oue it might have on their rtionship.


    After a few more minutes, Yan Yuehua came to the office she had been given after she came to this Continent.


    She had to write a report that needed to be sent to the Xu family subspace, where her master would review it and then archive itter.
