Auguro's tone was calm, as if the matter held no difficulty.
"It's quite simple: the land mass that originally belonged to Jaya Island will be returned to you! The war between you and the Sky People ends here!"
Wiper and the others were overjoyed.
"Truly? Thank you, Lord Soul King!"
At this, the native Sky People immediately voiced their objections. "Lord Soul King, God's Island has been ruled by the Sky People for over 400 years! To simply hand it over to the Shandians isn't that unfair to us?"
Wiper grew furious upon hearing this and pointed at them.
"You shameless old men! You stole God's Island by force! You are nothing but thieves! Where do you get the audacity to talk about fairness!"
The two sides quickly devolved into an argument. Only Gan Fall stood quietly, maintaining a long silence.
Auguro tapped the armrest of the God's Throne.
"Quiet!"
Both sides immediately fell silent, though their hostile glares remained fixed on one another.
Auguro looked at Gan Fall. "Gan Fall, you were once the God of Skypiea. What are your thoughts?"
Gan Fall bowed first, then slowly replied, "Before the Lord Soul King, how dare this old man call himself a God! I will abide by all your commands!"
The Sky People panicked.
"Gan Fall! Are you mad? That's land with soil! How can we give it up? Does this honor those who elected you God?" On the sky island, soil was more precious than gold!
Gan Fall shook his head.
"Four hundred years! Haven't enough people died for this soil? If handing over the land can finally bring peace to the war, then so be it." After the incident with Enel, Gan Fall was weary of war. The Sky People lived fine without God's Island before, didn't they?
The others argued with Gan Fall in desperation, but he remained unmoved.
"Hahaha!"
At that moment, Auguro's hearty laughter interrupted them.
"You truly are worthy of the title 'Sky Knight!' Your magnanimity surpasses that of ordinary men!"
Gan Fall remained humble. "The Lord Soul King overpraises me! I simply wish for war to cease."
Auguro nodded, addressing the Sky People who looked as if they had lost a parent.
"Don't worry, all of you! Skypiea is an important territory to me, and I will naturally resolve the issue of soil!"
"By returning God's Island to the Shandians, you will not suffer a loss!"
The Sky People's eyes widened. "Lord Soul King, is that truly what you mean?"
"Hmph! The Soul King's word is law! How could he deceive you!" Soi Fon interjected coldly. The Sky People awkwardly shrank back, daring not to speak further.
To reassure them, Auguro waved his right hand, opening a Senkaimon (Passage Gate) on the platform. On the other side of the gate was Auguro's first territory, Poplaro Island. Towns, mountains, and most importantly: soil!
Auguro said calmly, "This gate connects the sky island to the Blue Sea. You can dig up as much soil as you need there!"
At this, all the Sky People, including Gan Fall, began to tremble with excitement, their eyes glued to the Senkaimon.
Seeing their reaction, Auguro chuckled.
"Go ahead and try! See if I am deceiving you!"
With Auguro's permission, several people rushed headlong into the Senkaimon.
In the courtyard of Auguro's home, the group dug up handfuls of soil, tears streaming down their faces.
"It's real! It's really soil! This is wonderful!"
Under Auguro's strict orders, the group reluctantly dropped the handfuls of soil. Poplaro Island was his core territory, and he couldn't allow the Sky People to freely dig there. However, Auguro promised to find several uninhabited islands where they could dig as much soil as they liked!
"Thank you for your blessing, Lord Soul King!" Gan Fall and the others bowed deeply. At that moment, their submission to Auguro was sincere!
The Shandians were equally stunned. "He can directly cross the sky and connect to the Blue Sea! Is this the power of a true God?"
With both sides in agreement, they happily departed. They would go tell their people that an omnipotent God had arrived on the sky island!
Having resolved the 400-year territorial dispute on the sky island, Auguro led Soi Fon and the others to the center of the island. He couldn't leave the Seireitei, a magnificent asset, to gather dust in the system!
"System, place the Seireitei!"
Immediately, a white orb of light appeared out of thin air, landing on the ground. The next second, the orb rapidly expanded, and the existing land of the sky island seemed to be pushed outward, as if being squeezed.
In a matter of breaths, the orb transformed into the complete Seireitei, appearing in the center of the sky island and seamlessly integrating with the original land mass.
"Hmm! Very good, very good!" Auguro was extremely satisfied.
This city that had appeared out of nowhere was quickly noticed by the other inhabitants of the sky island. Some who had previously doubted Auguro instantly believed the earlier proclamation: Omnipotent! Enel's defeat to such a being was no injustice!
Inside the Seireitei, Soi Fon and the others looked upon the familiar landscape with a hint of nostalgia. The only pity was that the Seireitei was currently empty, inhabited only by them.
Auguro went to the main square and moved the physical body of the Senkaimon there. Compared to Poplaro Island, this was the safest location!
Since there was no one else, Auguro instructed everyone to choose a residence. The Seireitei contained the Gotei 13 barracks as well as dedicated noble residential areas. Every mansion was luxurious.
Nami eagerly went off to pick her house. Robin chose a quiet, secluded manor. Soi Fon and the others preferred to return to their respective barracks.
Auguro sat in a grand estate and summoned the system. The minor issues were dealt with; it was time to summon new subordinates!
"System, I want to use the Legendary-tier Lottery Ticket!"
Buzz!
Auguro's consciousness once again entered the glittering, enchanting starscape. A gigantic golden star descended before him.
The star burst, and on the golden card, a handsome man with long black hair was prominently featured:
"Name: Kuchiki Byakuya."
"Strength: Captain-level."
"Position: Captain of the 6th Division."
"Ability: Zanpakutō - Senbonzakura (Thousand Cherry Blossoms)."
It was him! The 28th head of the Kuchiki Clan, one of the Four Great Noble Houses of the Soul Society. He was immensely powerful and possessed a steadfast character, serving as an exemplar among all Shinigami.
"Kuchiki Byakuya greets the Lord Soul King!" Byakuya's etiquette was flawless; there was not a single thing to criticize.
"Rise," Auguro said, nodding with satisfaction.
"The Shinigami have yet to establish a firm foothold in this world, Byakuya. I ask that you exert yourself."
Byakuya responded meticulously, "Serving the Lord Soul King is the greatest honor of the Kuchiki Clan!"
After dismissing Byakuya, Auguro looked at his current Achievement Points: 9380 points.
Auguro hesitated. These points were enough for one draw from the Purple Epic-tier pool. But compared to recruiting Seat Officers or higher-ranked Shinigami, what he needed more right now was a sufficient number of ordinary personnel!
