Chapter 1209: Chapter 1210: Who Gets the Advantage

“I didn’t expect that Wei Ziliang actually went over to Beixuan Heaven at some point.” At this moment, Hall Master Zuo of Ming Chun Hall, upon receiving this news, was undoubtedly the happiest person.

No wonder back then, when the Soul Energy Avatar appeared, Wei Ziliang had such a strange look, and seemed somewhat hesitant and cautious.

Thinking back carefully, the ferocity of the Huaxia Empire’s offensive seemed overly aggressive.

Recalling it now, it’s likely that the other side was bluffing, making them believe that the Huaxia Empire truly had such power, while in reality, they had already exhausted their resources.

During this time, they weren’t idle; they gathered a lot of information in other territories, but no matter how they investigated, they found no trace of the Huaxia Empire in other places.

This result further solidified their belief that the Huaxia Empire wasn’t as formidable as they imagined, and certainly not a true overlord-level power.

They suspected it was merely a top-tier power secretly developed by the Wei family or another major power from other realms.

Thinking back to the Wei family’s clumsy development, it turned out to be a façade.

In reality, Hall Master Zuo of Ming Chun Hall was wronging Wei Ziliang in this aspect.

The Wei family wasn’t particularly impressive in this regard, and the same issue was prevalent across all powers in the myriad worlds.

That is, valuable resources were reserved for use by the upper echelons, and many resources were hoarded together.

In this respect, Lin Qian felt quite exasperated with Wei Ziliang, even feeling an intense frustration.

Because when he opened the Wei family’s warehouse, he was truly astounded by the mountain of resources.

Countless Soul Crystals, a sea of precious pills and Soul Devices, filled every corner.

Lin Qian was dumbfounded, immediately questioning Wei Ziliang why so many resources were hoarded in the warehouse, why not use them?

Wei Ziliang found it strange; according to him, these were reserved for contingencies, and using them all would be a waste.

Now a member of the Huaxia Empire, Wei Ziliang couldn’t understand why so many resources needed to be given away, jokingly referred to as the Wealth Child?

Lin Qian was at a loss for words and immediately educated Wei Ziliang on this mindset.

“Giving them away, do you think these resources are given for free? Think of my disciple, who over the years has had so many resources invested in him, yet after his cultivation realm improved, he stabilized his position. The value produced from the territory he governs exceeds the resources used a thousandfold.”

“The pills and Soul Devices I bestow upon the people are used to enhance their strength, to hunt soul beasts, to explore barren planets in the Void, or to navigate dangerous past realms or small worlds.”

“The taxes they pay far exceed what I have bestowed.”

“This can’t be called giving away treasures; this is called investment. Besides, only basic stuff is given away; truly valuable items can be loaned.”

“For instance, powerful Soul Devices and pills can be loaned out. Once they explore some small worlds or wilderness and achieve success, they can return them and pay interest. My people profit, and so do they, rather than letting these resources rot in the warehouse.”

“Lending out with interest—what’s this? Never mind, you probably wouldn’t understand, but you must grasp this principle: as a leader, if you want your power to develop rapidly, hoarding resources doesn’t propel the power forward.”

“You have to invest resources; once out there, they generate more resources. Resources create resources. Hoarding them here is pointless.”

After saying this, Lin Qian instructed Wei Ziliang to take these resources to the Empress and learn well by following her.

Wei Ziliang soon watched as Ye Xin doubled these resources in just two years.

Members of the Wei family, by using these resources to enhance their strength, eventually explored small worlds and relics. With their enhanced strength, not only were they unharmed, but they also gained handsome rewards. Through this cycle, original resources doubled.

Only then did Wei Ziliang comprehend that instead of hoarding resources, it was truly better to invest them.

Using resources to earn more, then using increased strength to earn even more.

With this continuous process, the entire empire would only grow more prosperous, with overall strength increasingly robust.

In fact, this concept isn’t difficult to understand; it’s just that, in Lin Qian’s eyes, the myriad worlds are too selfish, only thinking about exploiting the lower classes, hoarding resources for their own use or for their descendants.

They fail to realize that by elevating their overall power, they would ultimately enjoy more.

Initially, they are reluctant to spend resources on strengthening the entire power, especially at lower levels.

The collision of three civilizations, coupled with inexhaustible talent and vast accumulated resources from a past life, was in the hands of Lin Qian, a development fanatic. The growth speed of the Huaxia Empire was naturally breathtaking.

Even now, citizens living within the Huaxia Empire are overwhelmed with pride by the empire’s day-to-day advancements.

Moreover, Lin Qian’s extraction of citizens from Xuanhuan Star brought even more dynamism to the Huaxia Empire.

Beixuan Heaven continued its preparations, with tensions rising—war was imminent.

As for Nan Dou Tian, Ming Chun Hall was already gearing up, ready to launch a counterattack.

The intelligence sent from Beixuan Heaven was clear to them; this was a perfect opportunity—if missed, it couldn’t be regained.

“This time, with three overlord-level forces joining hands, I don’t believe the Huaxia Empire could withstand it!” Hall Master Zuo of Ming Chun Hall said, his voice trembling with excitement, “Moreover, according to the intelligence from Beixuan Heaven, they’ve already clashed with Wei Ziliang; I truly hope he perishes there.”

“Could this be a trap?” Ming Chun Hall’s Right Hall Master voiced his concern, visibly worried.

Something seemed off about the entire situation.

“No worries, I have contacts in Beixuan Heaven and have received confirmation. Wei Ziliang indeed appeared there and met with Yang Huanguang, the Sixth Prince of Wang Daojiang Country,” added the Clan Leader of the Hude Clan.

The Clan Leader of the Flowing Gold Clan also chimed in: “Wei Ziliang is already in Beixuan Heaven and unable to return. He might just fall there, so let’s not be too cautious.”

“Go ahead, I can’t wait to see the desperation on the Wei family members’ faces.” At this moment, Hall Master Zuo of Ming Chun Hall laughed coldly, “We should thank this Huaxia Empire, wasting manpower and resources to capture Xuanxing Realm and Red Flame Realm, conveniently benefiting us. Hahaha.”
