Endless Horde: Through the Eyes of a Godking

Compared to other regions, the Western Region probably has the richest nature and most diverse ecology.

This place is filled with rainforests, jungles, swamps, lakes, rivers, cave networks, mountains, and so on. The sheer richness of nature here even made High Marshal Anthony a little hesitant and difficult to build human societies due to his fear of ruining this place.

But what has to be done must be done. Besides, all it needed was very careful planning and consideration to complete his task. They have time to spare now, so this wasn't a problem.

The richness of nature's bounty here provoked the interest of many scientists and superhumans who have a deeper connection with nature. All sorts of flora and fauna grew here, and the diversity of fierce beasts local to this region was rich too.

Because of the teeming life here, the energy density of the Western Region was obviously higher compared to other regions, but it's also more chaotic. However, this chaotic mixture of energy wasn't really harmful to humans. Compared to demonic corruption, this chaotic energy was still mild and only a little bit more challenging to filter.

Like other regions, the Western Region also has secret realms, and it has four. They are the Mysterious Cave Dungeons, the Deep Swamp Trials, the Hidden Cloud Palace, and the Wild Western Garden.

The Mysterious Cave Dungeons are located at the core depths of the cave network that spans throughout the entire Western Region. Getting here was the first of many challenges they must overcome.

This secret realm was located behind a rather inauspicious door that is easily missed if one doesn't pay close attention. Behind this door lies a wide and expansive dungeon network filled with winding and confusing paths, deadly traps and foes, and, more importantly, rich resources that are waiting for the fated person to arrive.

The Deep Swamp Trials on the other hand, were something that not many people would be fond of entering because of their unique requirements.

To enter, one must go to the core of the deep swamp located near the core of the region and allow themselves to be swallowed by the swamp. One must know that resisting too much will translate into an unwillingness to enter the secret realm. This, in addition to the strange creatures that live within the swamp, makes the entry truly complicated.

And this isn't even mentioning the disgusting waters that would certainly get everywhere once you submerge in them.

But if one could endure all of this, they'd be granted entry into the secret realm. They'd arrive at a trial space that has a comprehensive, challenging system where they would be rewarded according to their performance. There are unique resources that could only be found here, plus the way out of the trial space isn't as bad as getting inside.

As for the Hidden Cloud Palace, unless one could fly, they could forget about entering it. Having someone take another person inside doesn't count as legal entry either.

The Hidden Cloud Palace is located directly above the Western Region and is only accessible to those who could fly high up in the skies. The entrance is hidden at the depths of massive clouds that remain stationary all year round; however, it's not always open.

Like what was mentioned, the proper way to enter this secret realm was to search for the entrance at the right time and place through personal flight skills. Those who are carried by another person through by any means will never see the entrance, and if the person carrying them enters the trials, their plus one will be left behind. This was the iron-clad rule of this secret realm.

Upon entry, the challengers will be greeted by a set of stairs that seemingly go beyond the skies of Prime Earth. What they need to do is climb up the stairs; it's as simple as that. However, the higher they go, the more difficult it is to progress because of the equally rising pressure they have to endure.

So far, nobody truly knows how high the staircase goes. Even Anthony, who personally entered this secret realm, stopped at the 99th step and couldn't go past it.

The resources one could find here aren't as unique or as rich as in the other secret realms, but the pressure they must endure by experiencing the trial forges and tempers their mind, body, and spirit, which is the most valuable reward given to the challengers of these trials.

And finally, there's the Wild Western Gardens...

It's essentially a zoo where you can pick a certain Fierce Beast monstrosity to fight. If you win, you not only claim the trophies of your prey but also get points you only spend within this trial space to get resources that couldn't be found anywhere else.

The entrance to this place is hidden in the core depths of the Western Wilderness, a vast rainforest filled with all sorts of dangerous, fierce beasts, canivorous plants, toxic environments, and so on.

Anthony knows that he'll have so much work to do if he wants to accomplish his task, but he's not going to give in to the pressure. This kind of development is necessary for the race and his personal development. If it means losing some sleep and rest for him to complete his goals, then so be it. He's no stranger to being overworked anyway.

The Eastern Region was easier to develop compared to the other regions, mostly because humans are more familiar with the area. After all, this is where they've been all this time, and there have been many expeditions that have allowed them to essentially know what they could expect, making it easier to plan out its future development.

Filius was destined to remain here, and unlike his colleagues, he doesn't have to go that far. However, this doesn't mean that his workload isn't as loaded as the others.

He doesn't have to touch the current civilization now, which, by the way, will now be called the Ancestral Metropolis given how the first batch of Superhumans chose this place as their home. Even though centuries have passed since then, they still have to respect their decisions, hence the 'Ancestral' tag.

That said, the Ancestral Metropolis only occupies a rather small portion of the Eastern Region. There's still so much room to fill.

Unlike other places, the Eastern Region doesn't have many strange scenes. It couldn't be compared to the richness of the Western Region's nature, the diverse climates of the Southern Region, or a unique charm like the snow-capped peaks of the Northern Region.

What it has that other regions don't have is dense energy concentration and mysterious luck and fortune.

This place is, after all, where countless heroes and sages were born. This is where the previous era of humans settled down to welcome the arrival of the Superhuman Era. It has seen the rise and fall of legends, and it has long been steeped in the dynastic energy that has been ruthlessly suppressed by demonic corruption.

However, since the continent's essentially free of corruption by now, this will recover eventually and display its true might and value.

And don't forget, the person who ushered in this massive change, their very own legendary Sun Sage, was born here as well. That in itself held a more profound meaning for everybody.

Like other regions, the Eastern Region has three secret realms that Cedric left behind. They are the Eastern Sun Palace, the Lunar Jade Gardens, and the Law Communion Hall.

The Eastern Sun Palace is located at the depths of an active volcano, which is now called the Red Furnace Volcano. The entrance to the secret realm was only open when the Red Furnace Volcano did a mild eruption, which happens every year and spans for an entire week.

As for the Lunar Jade Gardens, they are located on the Ancestral Metropolis. More specifically, it's at the Starlight Royal Academy, guarded personally by Headmistress Lissandra. Only she knows when it opens and closes.

This was Cedric's personal gift to her after he graduated from the academy. After all, Cedric has learned everything this place could offer, and since the academy gave him a new home and had become the witness to his rise, gifting them this secret realm could be considered a settlement of karma.

And finally, the Law Communion Hall. Yes, in the end, it has turned into a secret realm, and it has probably become the most sought-after secret realm for people to enter.

The Law Communion Hall won't accept everyone who stumbles upon it. Actually, stumbling upon it was practically impossible, given Cedric's arrangements. Instead, the hall sends out invitations, and only those who are lucky or have contributed the most to the race will have the chance to seek an audience in the hall.

The invitations are bound to those who receive them and cannot be traded. Those who receive it could either choose to respond to the summons or ignore it. The decision is up to them; the hall will never force anyone.

And finally, we have the Central Region...
