Modnc Caesar, how many planes are currently connected?” Su Wan looked at the new changes with satisfaction.

After such a long period of consumption, it seemed that the number of surrounding armies had not decreased.

With the help of the Tasirian Lords’ Association and their connections, I’ve obtained the coordinates of many planes and forcefully opened channels through Void Sandworms. Currently, fifty planes are connected to the Death Swamp!” the God of Lies and Deception said.

“How long will it take to upgrade the twenty thousand troops in the Death Swamp?” Su Wan asked again.

“Based on the current speed, it will take at least three months,” he said.

That was over twenty thousand soldiers…

During the process, they needed to reserve enough energy each week to recruit new soldiers.

“Is there a faster method?” Su Wan frowned.

“You are the president of the Tasirian Lords’ Association,” said the God of Lies and Deception mysteriously.

Modric Caesar had recently interacted with the Lords and found that there were treasures that could enhance their potential. These treasures were valuable, and most would exchange anything for them.

Su Wan and Xu Yuan might overlook the power of the Lords, but he didn’t.

The Death Swamp could be opened to the Lords!

The Death Swamp required numerous corpses, but that didn’t mean they had to personally collect them. Other Lords could supply it to them.

Golden light flickered on the Dark Withered Tree.

Two hundred thousand corpses in exchange for Golden Fruits. I believe that no Lord will be stingy for such an offer,” said Modric Caesar with a smile.

Then, I’ll leave this matter to you. Don’t easily give away the Golden Fruits to just anyone. We can make it seem like it’s a benefit of joining the Tasirian Lords Association.” Su Wan looked at him meaningfully.

This could be declared as the exclusive privilege of the ones who were members of the Tasirian Lords’ Association. Lords who had business dealings with North Desert City could be selected for the purpose.

They had to create scarcity and a sense of value for the Golden Fruits, which would allow for more flexibility.

As for how many corpses each Golden Fruit would need and the pricing, Modric Caesar would arrange that.

The God of Lies and Deception readily agreed.

Twenty thousand creatures that had serpentine lower bodies and upper human bodies stood silently in the blood mist. They were like statues.

Outsiders couldn’t see what was happening in the blood mist, nor did they know that lurking hunters were on the fringes.

The leader was a terrifyingly fierce creature.

Atrox, the transcendent hero born in the Death Swamp, ruled over all the troops of the blood mist.

The transcendent hero bowed humbly when Su Wan looked at him.

Although he didn’t utter a word, his respect was evident.

It wasn’t time to deploy the troops yet. But when they were deployed, it would be terrifying.

“Modric Caesar has ordered to accelerate the progress. I want to see all the armies upgraded,” Su Wan said and left the Death Swamp hand in hand with Xu Yuan.

The God of Lies and Deception looked determined.

When he was still accepted after losing his power, he became a member of the territory. He would demonstrate enough loyalty to let Su Wan know that she hadn’t misjudged him!

The explosive news spread within the Tasirian Lords’ Association. President Su Wan was providing special benefits to all members.

As long as they supplied the giant tree with corpses, they could obtain the fruits it bore.

This fruit was not ordinary. It was an extremely scarce and top-tier treasure that could enhance their potential.

If someone else had said this, many people would be skeptical. But this news had come directly from Su Wan.

Many guilds were excited. They immediately appeared in the Death Swamp with fresh corpses.

Void Sandworms opened a passage leading to the Dark Withered Tree.

Nothing could be seen clearly in the blood mist.

Several Lords observed in vain and had no choice but to follow the rules. They tossed the corpses onto the ground, which was covered in blood and plasma. They watched as the bodies were pulled down.

Even after two hundred thousand corpses were thrown in, no Golden Fruit appeared.

This left the guilds puzzled. They felt trapped. The upfront costs had already been substantial, and if they stopped now, they would incur heavy losses.

With grim faces, they began to use higher-level corpses. When the swamp consumed the three hundred thousandth corpse, a special aura emanated from the tree.

Golden light shone on its branches.

Several Lords, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately reached out to catch it. They were ecstatic when they checked out the attributes of the fruit. Could it really enhance one’s potential?!’

The guild leader chewed and swallowed the fruit. After that, they felt a surge in their power. All their attributes had increased. They fell into a frenzy once more.

They started to gather corpses frantically!

The confirmation of the news spread like wildfire among the Tasirian Lords’ Association members.

More and more guilds began to exchange corpses for fruits.

After the first batch tasted the sweetness, more people were attracted to them.

The Golden Fruit’s effects also increased significantly as the levels increased.

Although exchanging hundreds and thousands of corpses might not be the most cost-effective thing to do, it was definitely worth it.

This fruit wasn’t available outside. Other people didn’t even get to exchange the corpses for such a precious fruit.

To have what others lacked gave the Lords a sense of superiority. This unintentional operation actually boosted the unity of the Tasirian Lords’ Association.

The guilds chosen by Xu Yuan were all outstanding. What might seem like an astronomical number of corpses to ordinary people was nothing to the guilds. Under the temptation of the Golden Fruit, an astonishing power was unleashed.

Countless bodies were dumped into the Death Swamp every day.

Even conquering fifty planes might not have provided a steady supply of corpses like this.

The appearance of the Golden Fruit made many people realize that the guild members of the Tasirian Lords’ Association had an extremely strong desire for expansion.

Almost every day, they had to send troops to battle. Wherever they went, they would bring back corpses.

Many forces silently observed the Tasiria Plane in confusion. What were these Lords doing?

It wasn’t until half a month later that news of the Golden Fruit spread rapidly. Quite a few spies were infiltrating the Tasiria Plane. It was no small matter to keep such a big news secret anymore.

Of course, they didn’t expect to keep it hidden for long, either.

Once the news spread, the Tasirian Lords’ Association immediately announced that any trade guild with a good relationship with North Desert City could purchase the Golden Fruit at a price higher than regular members by thirty percent.

This sparked discussions in the forum.

While hundreds and thousands of corpses might seem like a lot, it wasn’t much trouble for large guilds. Each member could arrange a few thousand corpses, and it wouldn’t take long to gather them up..
