When Ye Zhongming finally returned to Cloud Peak, he felt a little foreign.


    Things weren’t completed with Saint Light Hall after the agreement was reached. There were still many details to discuss and things to communicate.


    Although others did most things, Ye Zhongming had to make decisions and decide on crucial details. Thus, he spent some more time in the Secret Realm.


    War not only brought injuries and pain but also benefits.


    Cloud Peak spent so much effort, fighting a level nine person and paying huge prices, so it was time for the rewards.


    These rewards weren’t too obvious quickly, but some areas could be seen instantly.


    For example, Cloud Peak’s changes.


    Posthumous People’s ordinary people were waiting in Cloud Peak for the results. Although they were nervous, they still helped Cloud Peak.


    To them, they felt that it could make Cloud Peak help them more.


    The most obvious thing would be their modification of the Cloud Peak walls.


    Although many didn’t participate in constructing the Imperial City’s wall, they had a deep understanding of its structure. They also participated in maintaining and repairing the walls and had experience in such work.


    After understanding some materials from Earth, they merged this with the evolved’s special abilities and items from the wheel to create a set of blueprints.


    Ye Zhongming talked about it when he was far away in Bright Water World. Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and the others supported them, and these Posthumous People got to work.


    When Ye Zhongming returned, he saw numerous deep foundations with Cloud Peak at the core and stretching down the mountain.


    “This is to improve the first part of the project. This is referring to the air defense.” A Posthumous People elder and an architecture professor from Cloud Peak were the joint in charge. Although this Posthumous People elder couldn’t understand the blueprints, he had his own ways to memorise what each thing represented after someone explained.


    “Air defense?”


    Ye Zhongming’s eyes opened wide.


    Cloud Peak’s air defense was nonexistent. As everyone’s level increased and job skills upgraded, they built some defensive structures that slightly stopped this problem.


    But he understood these wouldn''t be useful if they faced a strong air attack.


    Ye Zhongming wanted to nurture an air force. The conditions he raised to Saint Light Hall included related techniques regarding the Spirit Eagle’s nurturing, development, and training.


    But if you want it to reach scale, it would take a long time. Even if you had potions to stimulate growth, building the air force would take a year to two years. Even then, there won’t be too many, and there would be around a thousand.


    When he heard them talking about air defense, he became serious.


    “Yes. Master Le picked up this topic and is modifying crystal weapons to make them suitable for air fights. He said that this wasn’t hard and he had a rough sketch. I asked, and he said he would get the theory down and follow these basics to build some structures suitable for these weapons.”


    The person in charge explained to Ye Zhongming. Seeing Ye Zhongming nod and agree, he said, “But we lack resources. Xia Lei and Guang Yao are managing manpower, and they said they have to head to the Secret Realm base. So, even if we start building, it wouldn’t be quick. It is about to reach winter; if we delay, we must wait until next year. Many things might happen over winter.”


    “So what do you think?” Ye Zhongming asked.


    “I think we should do all three projects together!” That person in charge said something shocking, “But we need you to agree.”


    After opening some things, he took out a laptop and passed it to the confused Ye Zhongming.
