New Emperor Of Ghouls

Yan Zhong Yi looked at the Five Ghouls before him. They all had a dazed look in their eyes but their eyes flickered with clarity as they half-knelt on the ground as they spoke in unison.

Already accustomed to people kneeling before because of his royal heritage, Zhong Yi calmly replied "all rise!"

Hiding his amazement under his calm facade. He was shocked because Ghouls are standing in front of him. He no longer was alone in these foreign lands but could rebuild what once was a great empire.

Yan Zhong Yi looked at the stats of all the people that were summoned starting on the left.

Knowing that powerful figures from the empire could be reborn or summoned here, put Zhong Yi at ease. Without figures like them, everything would be more challenging.

Even though his bloodline wasn't as pure as Zhong Yi. His title would make him a crucial part of Yan Zhong Yi's plans and upcoming battles. Having Cheng Jianjun as the general to his army would make battles easier because his presence induces fear and raises his troops moral, plus he could potentially fight endlessly.

With Ancestor Ghouls right-hand man Cheng Jianjun, the expansion of the new empire would be inevitable.

The brother of Cheng Jianjun, Cheng Jianguo. The left-hand man of ancestor Ghoul. His insane talent at administration helped revolutionise the system that the empire was using at the time. That system brought us out of our primitive ways onto the path that led to becoming the strongest.

After looking at the famous brothers, he viewed the stats of the other people there. While they weren't as outstanding as the brothers, they were just as important.

Hai Gong, Profession: [Blacksmith], Skills: Forging (can create weapons and blacksmith related items}

Wen Yue, Profession: [Apothecary], Skills: Healing (can cure various ailments and major injuries with potions]

Song Zhu, Profession: [Tailor], Skills: Tailoring (can create leather armour, clothing and robes)

They were SS rank, which would've limited their potential to reach the higher cultivation stages if they were any other race, but with Sacred Ghouls innate skill such thing as grades weren't important as long as they had enough "resources".

But the grades were split into SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, with SSS being the highest and F being the lowest.

The higher one's grade was, the faster his or her cultivation and comprehension would progress. E grade was two times faster than F grade, D grade was four times faster than an F grade, C grade was eight times faster than an F grade, B grade was sixteen times faster than F grade, and so on. Military forces also had grades, and they were also split from F to SSS. However, there were 3 sub-grades for each grade, such as F-, F, and F+.

Those grades weren't the limit though, above the SSS rank were Human, Earth, Heaven and Saint. Start for Human, each grade was split into Lower, Middle, Upper, and Complete. Only Races with huge innate talent could start at the S rank and above.

What made Ghouls so feared was the fact that they could ignore talent and become insanely strong through hard work and the necessary resources. Even though they were born with huge innate talent, ghouls were a warrior race and respected strength. So every ghoul trained and it made them capable of fighting.

Offending one Ghoul was the same as offending their entire race. Their unity made them so terrifying, coupled with their strength, ghouls were treated like royalty outside of their borders.

After looking at their stats, Yan Zhong Yi asked them to wait before he entered one of the rooms in the Village Hall, where the violet cube was silently floating in the air. He then looked at the Village's stats.

Village Name: Sacred Ghoul village (Legendary)

Level: Primary (0/5000)

Village Area: 1 square kilometre

Village Territory: 46 square kilometres

Residents: 6/1100

Soldiers: 0/440 (Every Village has a population and soldier limit. Most Normal grade Primary level Villages have a limit of 300 people, Blue grade Villages have a limit of 400 people, Silver grade Villages have a limit of 600 people, Gold grade Villages have a limit of 800 people, and Legendary Villages have a limit of 1000 people.)

(Currently, it displayed that the limit was 1,100 residents because 100 residents were from the Village's special stats, while the military limit of 440 was the number of residents that had a military profession.)

Popular Support: 100 (Popular Support refers to the loyalty of residents. If Popular Support is at least 80, the Village will attract more people. If Popular Support is 0, residents will start to betray and flee. When Popular Support is negative, criminals will be attracted. Those people will of course not be loyal, and they must be continuously monitored or lives could be lost.)

Because the 5 residents in the Village were all given to Yan Zhong Yi by the system and they had a Loyalty of 100, Popular Support was also 100.

Village Special Stats: Territory Crop Output +30%, Territory Crop Growing Time -30%, Population Limit +10%, Residents' stats can randomly +1, Soldiers' stats +1%, Population Attraction +20%, chances of attracting higher grade population +20%

Subsidiary Village Limit: 4 (Subsidiary Villages receive 10% of the special stats from the Main Village. Normal Villages cannot have Subsidiary Villages, and they need to be raised to Intermediate Villages before they can have any.

Blue grade Villages can have one Subsidiary Village, Silver grade Villages can have two Subsidiary Villages, Gold grade Villages can have three Subsidiary Villages, and Legendary Villages can have four Subsidiary Villages.)

Zhong Yi felt that the stats of his village were incredible and would be a huge boon for them in the coming times. His intuition was telling him that he needed to get as strong as possible and his people would need to be strong as well.

He also needed to think of a new name for his empire. They can't be called Sacred empire anymore because Ancestor Ghoul named it like that to spite the angels who left his mother to fend for herself in demon lands and this new empire had a new purpose, and that was to regain their lost glory and become stronger than before.

'I have time to think about these problems at a later date, for now, the safety of my people should be assured and to do that..' paused Zhong Yi while he was deep in his thought. He looked at the people he told to wait outside and then back at the cube.

'...I'll need an army!'
