So far, aside from some dangers at the beginning of the game, Li Changzhou has had a smooth journey. However, with the Lord of Glory in the past, the King of Wind and Light now, and the 'winner' of the Value Game in the future, he is under a lot of pressure.

Leaving aside the 'victor,' any god could crush him.

During the New Year's event, if the King of Wind and Light hadn't attempted to challenge the 'victor' and hadn't wanted to waste any of his power, he, Li Qianxia, ​​and Yang Qinglan would have been dead long ago.

After exploring the moon, Li Changzhou, Yang Qinglan, and Li Qianxia arrived in Naples, Italy.

It was still morning in Naples when the three of them appeared on the seaside promenade.

The Mediterranean Sea is endlessly captivating, with its blend of coastal landscapes and urban vistas, and the distant summit of Mount Vesuvius shrouded in wispy white clouds, a breathtaking and unforgettable sight.

The three of them ordered pizza and coffee at a seaside restaurant and waited for Aferona to arrive.

"The ocean is so beautiful." Li Qianxia ate her pizza with relish, showing no sign that she had been fighting against the evil ghost corpse that morning.

"The French Romantic poet Lamartine once said: 'To see mountains, go to Pau; to see the sea, go to Naples.'" Yang Qinglan rested her cheek on her left hand and stirred her coffee with a spoon in her right. Every move she made was elegant and charming, and she could easily be on the cover of a Naples travel magazine.

Li Changzhou remained silent, seemingly lingering amidst the beautiful scenery, but in reality, he was recovering his abilities and guarding against any sneak attacks.

Aferona arrived quickly, and Li Qianxia hurriedly asked her to sit down and handed her the menu.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, Maria. What do you think is delicious? Order me some too."

In Li Qianxia's eyes, Maria Aferona was not a subordinate, but a friend. She did not do this intentionally; she never intended to have anyone as her subordinate.

Aferona has a strong liking for Li Qianxia.

During the meal, Li Changzhou explained his plan.

"I don't know what instincts are needed to develop the moon and build a human city there, or who can be of use. You should do your best to prepare."

"yes."

“These people must be trusted. The crown of the King of Wind and Light is in my possession. There are many people watching us, and they may even send in spies.”

“I’ll keep an eye on it. Have Hed sign them in with the initiation ceremony first.” Aferona hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Lord Black Mist, why not build a base on Four Seasons Star?”

On Four Seasons Star, there are native players, players from Earth, and powerful natives. Ordinary people who immigrate there will find their situation completely unchanged compared to Earth, unless they have a divine crown.

However, if possible, Li Changzhou would not want to leave Earth, nor would he stay on Four Seasons Star for a group of strangers. Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan could wear crowns, but they would definitely have to stay by his side.

Without the Crown of Gods, the base built on the Four Seasons Star would be vulnerable to attack.

As for entrusting it to anyone else... even Aferona, Li Changzhou would not give her the Crown of the Gods.

He never trusts outsiders. He only doesn't betray someone because the benefits of betrayal aren't enough; even parents can abandon their children.

The allure of obtaining the crown of the gods and becoming the master of a planet is enough to tempt anyone.

The possibility of Aferona betraying them is small, but not impossible.

Only the moon, a planet with nothing, can be used to colonize ordinary people and manage them intelligently with the technology of the Azure Sky World. This would minimize external and internal threats. Even if Li Changzhou himself is not on the moon, no one will rebel, and if they do, they can be suppressed.

From a distance perspective, the vast majority of people would probably prefer to immigrate to the moon, where they can see Earth.

After leaving Naples and returning to the Honey Pot World, they took Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia to the Sky World to find Bea Triss.

"You handle the negotiations," Li Changzhou said to Li Qianxia as they traveled.

"no problem!"

Li Changzhou didn't care much about the lunar base. No matter how well or how far he hid, he was still just a puppet in the palm of the hand of the 'victor' and the gods.

Only overwhelming strength can provide true refuge.
