This Spirit Sea Relic Pearl—
I must obtain it.
Having an extra opportunity to activate an Inspiration Crystal would significantly accelerate the development of Territory Secret Realms.
Leon Lake (formerly Qi Ji) planned to meet Lord Ryan Skyfall (formerly Ran Tianyun). The meeting location would be their usual spot—the headquarters of the Netherworld Adventurer Group in Blackstone Town.
However, Bianca (formerly Bihua) added,
"Mr. Skyfall also asked me to deliver a gift. He said if Miracle City accepts it, future cooperation between our territories will become much easier."
"Really? What is it?"
She took out a blueprint.
[Construction Blueprint: Territory Gate]
A Tier 1 construction blueprint.
Requirements: 1000 Soul Crystals, 500 Material Essence, 200 Mental Power.
"A Territory Gate… I see."
Ryan Skyfall clearly wanted to deepen diplomatic ties with Miracle City.
The Territory Gate was a special structure that allowed a territory to connect with another, enabling trade and diplomatic exchanges. The number of gates a territory could build depended on its tier.
For example:
A Tier 1 territory like Miracle City → max 1 gate
A Tier 4 territory like Skyfall City → up to 4 gates
This gift showed clear intent—Skyfall City wanted a long-term strategic partnership.
After brief consideration, Leon accepted.
Why?
1. Skyfall City was currently the strongest accessible territory
2. It had decades of development and a population exceeding one million
3. Ryan Skyfall himself was experienced, stable, and trustworthy
This was the best partner available.

The Territory Gate
Leon quickly constructed the gate.
It appeared as an ancient stone arch. Each activation consumed Soul Crystals.
Limitations of Tier 1 Gate:
Opens for 1 hour per day
Can transfer up to 500 Tier 1 items
Higher-tier goods cannot pass through
Upgrades could expand its capacity.
---
The First Diplomatic Banquet
Twenty minutes later, Leon hosted a banquet in the Lord's Mansion.
This was Miracle City's first official reception.
Ryan Skyfall appeared—not in person, but as a projection.
Though the mansion was simple, the food stunned him.
Flower Fairy and Halfling maids prepared dishes:
Premium Wagyu steak
Fine red wine
Beer, cigars, and rare delicacies
Nina (formerly Nancilia) poured wine.
Leon said politely,
"My territory is still developing. Please excuse the simple hospitality."
Ryan laughed.
"My friend, this is anything but simple."
After tasting the wine, he was visibly impressed.

A Hidden Business Opportunity
Ryan quickly realized something:
Miracle City's basic goods were extraordinary.
Even ordinary items like:
Wine
Meat
Cigars
…were superior to top-tier products elsewhere.
He immediately saw the potential:
👉 High-quality consumer goods = huge profit in large markets
Skyfall City had:
Millions of residents
Trade networks across multiple regions
Miracle City had:
Unique production
No distribution channels
Perfect partnership.
---
The Deal
After discussion:
Down payment: 12,000 Soul Crystals
Weekly arms supply increased: 300 → 500 weapons
Price: 50 Soul Crystals per weapon
Additional trade for consumer goods planned
Remaining balance for the pearl would be paid gradually through trade.
Both sides benefited:
Miracle City → gains rare treasure
Skyfall City → secures supply and profit
---
The Spirit Sea Relic Pearl
After the deal, Leon immediately used it.
[Mental Power -5000]
[Activation Attempts +1]
[Total Remaining: 2]
Perfect.
---
Next Secret Realm Plan
Leon now had two activation chances.
He decided:
1. One reserved for Star Sea Project ("Titanfall")
2. One for a new Ten Kingdoms Chronicle Chapter
New Setting: Sui & Tang Era
He chose a dark historical fantasy setting inspired by:
Late Sui Dynasty chaos
Mythology (Classic of Mountains and Seas style)
---
Core Story Adaptation
Inspired by a legendary game series (renamed for clarity):
"Sky Scar Chronicles" (formerly Scar of the Sky)
"Clouds Beyond Mountains" (future expansion)
Main Story (Sky Scar Chronicles)
Protagonist: Ethan Chen (formerly Chen Jingchou)
Last prince of a fallen kingdom
Travels to restore his nation
Encounters:
Luna Snow (formerly Xiao Xue)
Yara Tuoba (formerly Yu'er)

Sacrifice
Fate
War and chaos
Saving the world
---
Expansion Plan
Later expansion:
"Clouds Beyond Mountains"
Follows a western knight traveling east
Crosses continents to reach Tang Dynasty
Set during a massive rebellion
Leon planned to expand and improve the original incomplete parts.
---
Final Vision
This new Secret Realm would be:
Larger than Ashina
Darker and more epic
Filled with heroes, demons, and war
But it wouldn't be rushed.
> "Slow work creates masterpieces."
---
Immediate Step
Leon decided:
👉 Release a short prologue first
Purpose:
Test player reaction
Introduce the world
---
The Next Day
Miracle City reopened.
Ryan Skyfall arrived at the Secret Realm Lobby in disguise as an ordinary man.
Even Bianca didn't recognize him.
He thought:
> "Let's see if this Miracle City really lives up to the hype."
As a Lord, nothing mattered more than Secret Realm quality.
And today—
He would see it for himself.
