Leo Ray returned to the castle, greeted by the playful young Demon Beast Dawn, which Ariel Watson had been caring for. He recounted the banquet's thrilling events, including subduing the Half-Titan and Stone Giant subordinates, while discussing territory security for the ongoing promotions. Ariel prepared for her own Tier 6 advancement amid lingering unease, bolstered by Leo Ray's encouragement and precautionary measures.

The Half-Titan, Stone Giant, Rainforest, Desert, and Broken Valley alliances have recently fallen under our control, truly demanding thorough arrangements to swiftly blend these prior five groups into our ranks as core strengths.

Having sorted Ariel Watson's promotion details, Leo Ray adhered to standard protocol by heading back to the Territory initially, then swiftly proceeding to Ice Stone City.

Per the set strategy, the Rainforest, Desert, and Broken Valley alliances require full rearmament and enhancements right away.

With Loris, Sina, and Elder Gary's assistance, all went off without a hitch. Leo Ray delegated collaboration tasks to Outer Region subordinates Broy, Fanny, and Crisis. Their commands had already forged firm bonds with the Human Clan, so they knew precisely how to handle it.

During this, Leo Ray barely lifted a finger and seized the chance to deploy the [Contract Purple Crystal] on Loris, securing total dominance over the Rainforest Fortress Alliance.

By noon, Ice Stone City loomed before a dazzling Giant City, signaling Leo Ray's entry into Stone Giant lands—the gleaming metropolis ahead served as their capital, the Starfall Royal Court.

Differing from typical settlements, this Giant City's ramparts glowed with a subtle silver luster, resembling flowing liquid starlight at intervals.

Leo Ray originally intended to visit the Half-Titan lands first, yet Lila's insistent plea led him to prioritize the Stone Giant area among second-tier powers.

“We greet Your Majesty of the Humans!”

Lila, awaiting Leo Ray and his entourage's emergence from Ice Stone City's gates, promptly directed Stone Giant elites in a salute, their deep, resonant voices of reverence booming across the land.

“Please rise, everyone.”

With a light nod, Leo Ray advanced into the Giant City led by Lila.

Lila's explanations revealed more to Leo Ray.

Fashioned from a crashed star, the Starfall Royal Court's outer barrier produced that stunning display—though unfit for weapons, its plentiful supply limited it to wall construction.

Nonetheless, it proved far sturdier than standard walls.

“Frankly, Your Majesty of the Humans, we know well that no wall, however tough, defends effectively without an Absolute Defense Barrier. Thus, our forebears erected countless Magic Giant Towers within to sustain it—the true heart of Starfall Royal Court.”

Lila detailed the locale thoroughly for Leo Ray, adding, “Moreover, twelve Cultivation Fields lie within for powerhouses' training, crafted from the fallen star's nucleus.”

Leo Ray nodded in contemplation upon hearing Lila's words.

Second-tier groups like Half-Titans and Stone Giants boast Outer Region powerhouses vastly outstripping Human Clan ones, thanks first to extended lifespans and second to such unique Cultivation Fields.

Practicing or contemplating in Cultivation Fields accelerates breakthroughs, paired with fitting Cultivation Secret Methods to spawn numerous elite tiers.

Cultivation Fields come in varied forms—Stone Giants' channel Outer Heaven Power, others form innate Secret Realms of endless types.

Third-class races like Fairies, Trolls, Minotaurs hold some Cultivation Fields too, but weaker ones mean fewer Tier 6 powerhouses than in Stone Giants or Half-Titans.

Naturally, against pinnacle first-class powers among Ten Thousand Clans, Stone Giant and Half-Titan Cultivation Fields pale, dismissed outright by rivals.

Permanently boosting Magic Medicine offers easier paths, naturally.

Yet Tier 5 and Tier 6 formulas belong to first-class powers exclusively; Shadow Market's rare High Tier Magic Potions serve merely as extras.

“Sadly, the star core's power dwindles fast. Soon, Stone Giants will lack viable Cultivation Fields.”

Gloom shadowed Lila's pale features as she sighed in resignation.

“Don't worry—this poses no issue for me.”

A subtle smile crossed Leo Ray's lips, his poise utterly composed.

To him, even top Cultivation Fields lagged; ample unupgraded Magic Medicine fixed all. Boosting Stone Giants' reserves alone would skyrocket their might, new fields a bonus.

“As expected from Your Majesty of the Humans!”

Lila, witnessing Leo Ray's steady confidence despite unknown sources, nodded with zeal.

Companions like Kira and Payton mirrored the reaction, doubt erased. Leo Ray's banquet prowess and resources had fully convinced them.

Kira alone, the elder sister, felt a twinge of bitterness at her defiant sibling's newfound submission.

Mid-conversation, they crossed the grand portal.

Stone Giants lined the broad avenue to greet them, gazes locked curiously on Leo Ray. Few outsiders ever entered since founding, none like the Human Emperor.

Observing Leo Ray, respect deepened in Stone Giant eyes. Unaware of banquet feats, they followed their top Clan Leader and Elders' lead in deference.

Sensing their stares, Leo Ray offered a warm smile.

His ties with Stone Giants were nascent; soon his fame would echo everywhere.

Leo Ray also observed bustling vibrancy, soaring structures, aura of elites everywhere—eclipsing third-class foes. Truly remarkable, especially Lila's Magic Giant Towers dotting the skyline like immense timepieces.

Guided by Lila, the party soon reached the central Clan Leader’s Castle, its colossal form aglow akin to the walls, distinctly striking.

Inside the Giant Castle, Leo Ray promptly overhauled the Equipment Storage and Treasure Vault fully, doubling prior stocks left behind.

Further distributions awaited full takeover. Stone Giants, potent second-tier force, guarded Human Clan and allies' security—no lapses allowed.

Included were eight Tier 6 items gifted by Lila, akin to those of Stone Giants and Half-Titans.

Beholding the doubled Equipment Storage and Treasure Vault riches, Lila and company gaped anew—Kira's prior pique vanished, her admiring stare rivaling Lila's.

This hoard spanned three millennia for Stone Giants—doubled instantly!

Moli and Fei’er, present, stared in disbelief.

Moli had witnessed Leo Ray's Divine Stone Weapons and Magical Scrolls bounty in Observation City, yet repeated shock hit hard—she couldn't fathom his methods!

“Your Majesty of the Humans, this lady bears yet another plea.”

Amid the astounded assembly, Lila mulled briefly before voicing her extra ask to Leo Ray.
