There were about 100 or so people on the Ancient Beauties Rankings, and Zhao Fu only looked at the first ten or so . These women had inherited their ancestor’s genes, and all of them were exceptional beauties, most of whom excelled at something .
However, the Ancient Beauties Ranking only had people from China . Moreover, there were women whose looks weren’t inferior to those on the list, such as the star Su Yuyan .
Out of the top ten people, Zhao Fu only recognized Wu Qingniang . With her looks, she did indeed deserve to be ranked third .
Zhao Fu didn’t spend much time reading through the Ancient Beauties Ranking, and he soon moved on to other things . He took a look at the Heaven’s Pride Rankings – the top rankings didn’t change much, while the latter rankings constantly changed . Of course, the person who hung at the top was Great Qin’s Legatee .
Zhao Fu wasn’t too surprised by this – he knew what sort of position Great Qin held in everyone’s hearts at this point . He decided that he would act more low-profile in the future and not draw as much attention to himself .
Zhao Fu also saw another piece of news that was quite surprising – there had been a few successful coup d’etats staged in a few small countries, making the real world seem like it was filled with a dangerous aura .
Moreover, the number one country in the real world, America, didn’t have any Legacies because it was a relatively new nation . Even though it was powerful in the real world, it was quite weak in the Heaven Awaken World, so America targeted the Native Americans .
The Native Americans had quite a few legacies, but most of them had been taken by America . History had repeated itself, with one side oppressing the other .
Zhao Fu was quite concerned about this, and he read more into it before he continued to look at some other things . After finishing his food, he returned to the Heaven Awaken World .
After returning to the Heaven Awaken World, his body had slightly recovered . Great Qin’s population was now at 650,000, and its military had swelled to 120,000 soldiers . Most of the new soldiers were Orcs – after all, now that Great Qin had obtained an extra 220,000 people, Zhao Fu had to put them to work .
The Orcs were powerfully built and stronger than Humans, and they were quite ferocious, making them good soldiers .
It was a pity that only 50,000 or so soldiers had Stage 1 or above cultivation out of the 120,000 soldiers . All of the Blood God Pills from before had been given to those soldiers, so the lowest cultivations were around Stage 0-7 . However, they had no more Blood God Pills .
As for all of Zhao Fu’s Generals and Commanders, they had broken through to Stage 2 because of the Stage 2 Blood God Pills from the Minotaurs .
Only after his soldiers’ cultivations were higher would Zhao Fu be able to start acting against Heavenstone City . He had never forgotten about the grudge from that day – he was determined to take down Heavenstone City and kill that City Lord and that Young Lord .
Zhao Fu felt that he had enough soldiers . However, most of their cultivations were a bit lacking, so Heavenstone City’s matter would have to wait for now .

Now, the most important matter for Great Qin was obtaining more Blood God Pills . The historical remnant exploration team, which had 1,500 soldiers, had been created, and the command medallions had been prepared .
The Goblins within the historical remnant were already a threat, and the Stage 2 Cat Demons and Minotaurs were even more dangerous . They would be quite difficult for his soldiers to deal with .
If Zhao Fu was with them, he would be able to guarantee a low number of injuries or casualties; if it was anyone else, there might be many injuries or casualties . However, the historical remnant was quite big, and it would require too much time to explore . Zhao Fu couldn’t put all of his time into this because there were many other things that he needed to take care of from time to time .
At that moment, a soldier came to report something good: the Gnomes had finished researching Stage 1 Ballistae .
Because of how big and powerful Stage 1 Ballistae were, it was only natural that it would take a long time to research them .
Zhao Fu had regained a trace of his strength, and even though he was still incredibly weak, walking around was no problem . He went to the Gnomes’ workshop and saw a ferocious-looking ballista at the front .
The Stage 1 Ballistae was roughly as big as the previous one, but it looked quite different: it was more refined and could shoot two bolts at once, which was one less than before, but each bolt was far more destructive .
Ordinary ballistae could already cause great damage, and a single bolt was enough to pierce through a Goblin and kill the Goblin instantly . However, a single bolt was unable to instantly kill Minotaurs because their lifeforce and defense were quite powerful .
Now, with Stage 1 Ballistae, this problem would be resolved . Stage 1 Ballistae would be enough to kill Minotaurs as long as they didn’t move around too much .

Stage 1 Ballistae required Blue grade material to create every part, including the body, the bowstring, arrow shafts, and arrowheads . Only then would the Stage 1 Ballistae be able to unleash their true power . Fortunately, Blue grade material was nothing to Great Qin .
Zhao Fu immediately gave the order to mass-produce the Stage 1 Ballistae, and he asked the Gnomes to research even more powerful ballistae . Even though the Minotaurs weren’t as big of a problem anymore, there were still the Cat Demons .
The Cat Demons were simply too fast, and if there was nothing suppressing them, they could pose a great threat . Zhao Fu ordered his people to look for ways to suppress them or slow them down because he wouldn’t be able to lead the teams in the future .
After an entire day, Zhao Fu had recovered by half . He had consumed many medicinal pills, and Asani had continuously used her high-grade healing skill on him .
At that moment, a soldier came to report that he had found a high-grade magic skill called Gravity Element on the market, which could manipulate the gravity within a certain range . It could be used to increase the gravity within an area, suppressing the Cat Demons and reducing the need for Zhao Fu to personally lead the exploration team .
This skill was quite rare and expensive, but Zhao Fu still decided to buy it . Soon, the historical remnant exploration team set off .
Zhao Fu ordered them to explore the outer regions and not go in too deep because he wasn’t sure what was in the depths . He felt that it would be fairly dangerous, so he would take a look himself when he had the opportunity in the future .
“Your Majesty, this subordinate has captured a Wild Boar King,” a soldier respectfully reported as he half-knelt .
When he heard this, Zhao Fu smiled and ordered the soldier to show him . They arrived at an open area that had a massive wooden cage . Inside it was a 150-kilogram boar restlessly charging at the cage, trying to escape .

Zhao Fu looked at the Wild Boar King and found that its stats weren’t very high . It only had Stage 1 strength, which wasn’t very strong . As such, Zhao Fu took out the golden King’s Crown .
Even though this King’s Crown was quite beautiful, it was a western-style crown . As an Eastern King, Zhao Fu was reluctant about wearing it, but eastern-style crowns weren’t suited for battle . As such, Zhao Fu decided to not put on the crown if he wasn’t fighting .
