Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 659 - 581: Return to Platinum Palace

Inside the World Ring.

A relatively elevated area with a stretch of flat, fertile land.

Half of this plain is surrounded by a small mountain range, with a large expanse of clean water sources and dense vegetation and forests around it.

The plain in the middle is undoubtedly an extremely perfect habitat.

Right in the middle of the plain, one can see a militarized small town.

Inside the town, there are no civilians, only soldiers of the Knight Order with Silver Power, all of them numbering in the thousands.

However, you can also see many soldiers removing their armor, planting and harvesting on the fertile land around.

Everywhere is a scene of flourishing activity.

Bonona is currently riding a war horse, with Abby, the Knight Order commander, beside her.

The two of them are observing something in the dwellings around the gathering place, wandering back and forth across the entire area, looking around.

Suddenly, a strong light flashed around the distant mountain wall, then quickly disappeared.

This bright light was exceptionally conspicuous, and the patrolling soldiers around all saw it.

At this moment, Kane, waiting in the Guild Hall conference room, immediately opened his eyes.

Seeing Kane stir, Kreya and the others beside him immediately cast their gazes over.

Kane had already felt it, he already felt the arrival of the Platinum Country.

"The time acceleration of the Platinum Country is complete."

Kreya and the others immediately stood up excitedly.

Kane stood up and smiled, saying, "Let's go, everyone."

With that, he waved his hand, and everyone present, along with Kane, instantly disappeared from their original location.

When they reappeared, they were already inside the former Platinum Palace.

Kane had directly transported everyone from the Guild Hall to within the Platinum Country.

Upon Kane's entry into the Platinum Country, the Platinum Crown inlaid with five-colored gemstones floated out by itself and automatically settled on Kane's head.

Symbolizing Kane's control over this Dungeon.

With the crown in place, Kane instantly felt a surge of powerful forces flooding into his body, and with the world's restoration, the power and authority provided had even increased.

Not only Kane, but Kreya and the others also experienced the impact of the powerful forces, the authority shared by Kane had never been withdrawn from their bodies.

They had not experienced it for just a few days, yet this power was even more enticing and stronger.

They quickly restrained their inner desires, even conducting a detailed inspection and suppression of these forces, confining them within their own bodies.

Excessive feeling and use of rules and authority they had not mastered and understood would cause them to be lost, decreasing their own power and affecting their mindset and combat capabilities.

As everyone descended upon the Platinum Palace.

Many strong individuals in the Platinum Country felt it, with Kane and the others' arrival, the whole world was cheering and rejoicing.

Similar to a feeling of core repositioning, the world was becoming more lively.

They also felt that the time membrane enveloping the world was no longer there, meaning the time acceleration Kane had mentioned before had disappeared.

"Today's meeting ends here, Pedi, let's go." Far away in the government hall conference room, Heideline immediately stood up and said.

Then she took Pedi and headed towards the Platinum Palace above the Eye of Blue outside the capital.

The lake beneath the Platinum Palace is currently referred to as the Eye of Blue by the citizens.

Not only Heideline, but Kanske and others, and the Giant Wood Elder far outside the capital circle all felt it.

However, some people are currently quite far from the capital and cannot come quickly.

After Kane and the others descended into the palace, they had just suppressed the forces within their bodies.

When they heard a hurried sound of footsteps, a dozen Moon's Children rushed in.

These were the Moon's Child Imperial Guard who had been stationed in the palace.

Kane and the others hadn't seen them for nearly a week, but to the Moon's Children, Kane and the others had been gone for ten years.

"Your Majesty!" Mo Yi's excited voice rang out.

They wanted to rush forward but then restrained themselves, all half-kneeling one by one on the ground.

"Welcome Your Majesty back!"

Kane was already somewhat used to these titles and then waved his hand at them.

"Alright, all of you, stand up."

When they stood up, they immediately gathered around excitedly.

Looking at Mo Yi by his side, Kane smiled and patted her head, noticing her smile but feeling a tug on the hem of his garment.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Ya looking at him.

With the other free hand, he also patted her head.

"Tell us how long we've been gone?"

Kane asked.

Upon hearing Kane's question, Mo Yi immediately replied, "Your Majesty and the princes have been gone for ten years, and soon it will be eleven years."

"It's already been so long," Kane murmured.

Then, Kane said, "Let's go out and take a look, see what changes have happened here in the 11 years we've been gone."

Having said that, Kane and Kreya, along with the others, walked outside the palace, with Mo Yi and the others following closely.

The first feeling upon coming out was the clear sensation of the magic energy permeating the air of this world.

Magic energy became more active and abundant.

Compared to the feeling of scarcity when they left, it's much better now. Plus, the Platinum Palace and its surroundings were the first areas to be restored.

The magic energy here has clearly exceeded that of the outside world, reaching a relatively high level.

Looking up towards the sky.

Blue sky, white clouds, and soft sunlight, a golden sun.

Even the sky appears cleaner than when they left, unlike before when it was dull and misty.

They walked towards the edge of the land plate on which the palace stood.

Along the way, Kane and the others could see that everything around, whether it was the furniture, walls, or floors, was very clean. It shows that the Moon's Child often came in to clean, keeping the entire palace in a tidy state.

Standing on the edge, the water below the plate barely reached their feet, and from the edge they could also see the capital not far away.

Speaking of which, Kane and the others had not named this capital before they left.

So much time has passed, and this city must have its own name by now.

"What is the name of this city now?" Kane turned his head to Mo Yi beside him and asked.

"Rebirth, this city is called the City of Rebirth."

Upon hearing Mo Yi's answer, Kane said, "Rebirth, huh, a nice name."

By now, they could see a large expanse of various plants not far around the capital, and many people were busy in these plant forests, which Kane and the others were very familiar with.

After all, these were the ones they had eaten and tasted at the World Restaurant, and also the seeds they personally went to obtain.

The entire capital city looks more prosperous compared to before.

The former capital, after all, was built single-handedly by Kane, with almost no details, only a relatively large framework.

Although the whole city looked grand and magnificent, it was very monotonous and lifeless.

But now the capital seems more like a large metropolis, rather than the rigid city from when Kane left.

Many of the places Kane had left behind now have buildings compared to before, various unique and iconic buildings have also been erected in the capital.

The style of the entire capital is also quite unified, yet it is roughly discernible that there are many differences.

After all, the entire capital is home to nearly all the surviving races of this world.

At this time, Kane turned his head and said to Mo Yi beside him: "Mo Yi, you've all grown much stronger, very well."

At first glance, Kane could already see Mo Yi and their strength. They had already advanced from the initial silver level when he left, to now the Silver Peak, maybe even a bottleneck.

However, surely not all the Moon's Child are like this, probably just these dozen in front of him, after all, they can be considered the strongest among the Moon's Child.

Upon hearing Kane's praise, Mo Yi and others withdrew from their previously stern little adult appearance and smiled foolishly.

At this moment, Kane saw several white clouds carrying some people flying up.

"Seems like they've already sensed our presence, come on, let's head back to the palace first."

Afterwards, Kane and the others returned to the palace and sat down in the wide living room.

Soon, Heidelin and a group of people came in.

After entering, they knelt on one knee before Kane in unison.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, have a seat and tell me what changes have occurred here during the years we were away."

Though through the territory page, those detailed data can provide a more precise look at the changes in the Platinum Country.

However, Kane still wanted to hear these officials speak themselves; the ice and other data did not quite reflect many changes.

"Your Majesty, during the years you were away, recovery was rapid due to the preparations you made when you left."

"In terms of current population, our food supply is entirely adequate, and there is even a surplus."

"After the world recovered, the rules stabilized, now nearly every household has a new baby, some already have three or four children."

"And after you left, we brought out all the peoples, hiding from the war, from the places you left."

"The population has now reached over 300,000, though mostly children, but the future is promising."

After listening to Heidelin's report, Kane nodded.

Heidelin's report didn't show much difference from what Kane saw on the territory page.

"Well done, Heidelin."

After saying this, Kane looked carefully at Heidelin and said: "You've been promoted, congratulations, consider this as your reward."

As soon as Kane finished speaking, a beam of light flew from the crown on his head, shooting into Heidelin and merging with her.

It was a fast lane for quickly comprehending rules, an invaluable opportunity for Heidelin, who had achieved gold rank.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Following that, Kane said: "Your next task is to try to plant more crops, forge more weapons and equipment, and various logistical supplies."

Kane's actions were also preparing for the World Ring later, with the entry and exit of the Platinum Country falling within the territory of the Knight Order in the World Ring.

And Kane knew some of the entry and exit rules upon entering the Platinum Country.

The Platinum Country may be situated within the World Ring, but the living forces inside cannot exit.

Including Kane and others who teleported in, they couldn't exit through the overlapping region of the Platinum Country.

Until the World Ring dissipates, this status must be maintained. However, supplies are not restricted, Kane can place supplies in the overlapping region, then have the Knight Order from outside take them out.

This operation is perfectly acceptable, perhaps as a form of compensation from Mist World.

It could be considered an advantage point for Kane and his people.

Though Heidelin did not understand the reason behind Kane's request, she agreed to it directly per Kane's command and went to carry it out.
