  "Whew—"

  Joey let out a deep breath, feeling like he was exhaling smoke.

  At this moment, he was completely stunned. "This...?!"

  "Is the effect really this terrifying?"

  If he hadn't witnessed it himself, he would never have believed it.

  It was almost like a joke.

  But the problem was… the truth was right in front of him, leaving no room for doubt.

  Joey marveled, "The effects are simply astonishing! Even though my raw strength hasn't gotten stronger, my energy, spirit, and every other aspect of my being has improved tremendously!"

  His body—from muscles, bones, marrow, skin, organs, blood, to flesh—All seven aspects had undergone a complete transformation.

  These were the seven fundamental parts of the human body. The goal is to train them to reach the absolute limit.

  A body so powerful it could sy gods and demons!

  That was also the essence of The Body technique.

  But…

  Joey suddenly asked, "System, can all martial techniques evolve into The Body technique?"

  "No!" the system replied. "Only techniques simir to the Body Refinement technique, which perfectly temper the human body, can evolve into it."

  Joey turned his gaze to his younger siblings.

  After all, his siblings had developed a solid foundation in their abilities, so they all had become much stronger.

  — — —

  Cp!

  Katakuri strode forward and asked, "Big Brother! What just happened?!"

  "Mhm!" Joey smiled. "Katakuri, I've upgraded the Body Refining Technique into a purer technique called The Body. It's designed to push human physical training to the extreme. You must train with it carefully from now on. This is a complete and perfect path!"

  "Big Brother!" Katakuri nodded seriously. "Understood!"

  — — —

  The Multiverse Family System was designed with multiple tiers and types, ensuring that each world and creature could fully harness its family's potential.

  For the Charlotte Family, the system was divided into two key tiers: Common Family Training and Personal Training.

  →Common Family Training

  Every family member followed a common training regimen. By adulthood, those with the potential would naturally reach Silver Rank 1.

  This structured approach was essential—before maturity, a child's body simply couldn't endure immense energy so it was making the children keep their potential and achieving their limit Rank at the right time.

  →Personal Training

  Even though training was family-based, individuals had the freedom to develop their strength independently.

  More importantly, each member's progress fed back into the family technique—every individual's advancement added 1% of their power to the collective.

  It might seem insignificant, but with enough people, the effect was staggering.

  For example:

  If The Body was cultivated to Silver Rank 9, all future Charlotte family members would be born with Silver Rank 9 potential. Then, through the Common Family Training Method, they would naturally reach Silver Rank 9 by adulthood.

  Now, imagine The Body reaching Gold Rank 9... Ptinum Rank 9... Diamond Rank 9... Crystal Rank 9...

  The implications were astounding.

  Upon activating the System, Joey grasped a profound truth: The most crucial element wasn't wealth, resources, or influence—it was the Family System Method itself.

  The more perfected the technique, the stronger future generations would become.

  If The Body ever reached Crystal Rank 9, every child born into the Charlotte Family would grow into an absolute powerhouse by adulthood.

  The potential was limitless.

  "Whew..." As Katakuri left, Joey exhaled deeply. "The cost of this breakthrough was enormous… but the rewards are equally massive. It was all worth it!"

  With a satisfied smile, Joey decided to rest.

  The past days had been exhausting—

  From the God Valley War, he hadn't had a single moment to rex, always keeping track of every detail.

  Even though the outcome was predetermined, he couldn't afford any mistakes.

  Finally, Joey drifted into deep sleep.

  — — —

  After a few days

  The Queen Mama Chanter was sailing swiftly.

  Before long, they entered the Totto Land territory.

  Their pirate ship slowly docked at a small isnd located in the center of the sea.

  "Hmm—" Linlin tilted her head unhappily. "Joey! Joey! Is this the Cake Isnd? There's nothing here!"

  "Hmph!"

  She pouted, hugging Joey in frustration.

  Joey chuckled and reassured her, "Mom, don't worry. We were short on money before, remember? But now that we have enough, we can finally start building Cake Isnd."

  "Wuuu—" Linlin whimpered. "Hurry up and build it! Cake Isnd is the one thing I've been looking forward to the most!"

  "Alright!" Joey soothed her like a child, making Linlin beam with happiness.

  She eagerly ran off to explore the isnd.

  Katakuri approached Joey. "Big Brother, reconstructing this isnd won't be easy."

  Joey nodded calmly. "True, but as long as we have money, nothing is impossible. Perospero and others should be here soon."

  After some time—

  An ink crane descended from the sky, carrying three figures.

  Perospero, Daifuku, and Opera had arrived.

  "Big Brother!" they called out, waving enthusiastically.

  Joey smiled. "How's the progress?"

  Daifuku stepped forward. "Big Brother! The construction of Noko Isnd, Tanega Isnd, Liqueur Isnd, and Yakigashi Isnd is complete."

  "But—" He scratched his head awkwardly. "We're completely out of money and we have to pay our huge debt soon."

  Perospero sighed, "Big Brother, we really can't borrow anymore. We're already at our limit, and we've got nothing left to pawn."

  "Heh..." Joey chuckled. "Alright, alright, I get it. This time, I brought back more than enough funds. Upgrading Totto Land won't be a problem."

  He nodded at Custard. "Open the Mirror World."

  Custard did as instructed, revealing a portal.

  Perospero and Daifuku exchanged a curious gnce before stepping inside.

  A moment ter—

  "Holy crap! This is insane!"

  "Did you rob the World Government?!"

  Perospero and Daifuku were completely dumbfounded.

  Katakuri, however, remained calm as he expined, "We didn't rob the World Government, but Big Brother led us to clear out all the treasures of the Celestial Dragons."

  The three brothers fell into silence. This was a huge deal.

  That was the Celestial Dragons' treasure!

  Joey spoke gently, "Don't worry, there won't be any issues. These treasures are more than enough. Now, we'll start modifying the 36 isnds, prioritizing the core—Whole Cake Isnd. The rest will be remodeled simultaneously."

  "Got it, Big Brother!"

  "No problem!"

  Both of them immediately perked up. No kidding. With this much treasure, Totto Land was about to undergo a massive transformation!

  Joey then turned and said, "Opera, take me on a tour."

  "Understood, Big Brother!" Opera responded.

  With a roar, he transformed into his Azure Dragon form. Joey leaped onto Opera's head as the massive dragon streaked across the sky, heading towards the horizon.

  Totto Land wasn't extraordinarily vast. At its center was Whole Cake Isnd, surrounded by 36 modified isnds. Their first stop—Noko Isnd.

  This isnd featured massive buildings, designed to resemble a grand Spartan colosseum. At its center stood an enormous arena, specially built for the giants.

  Next was Yakigashi Isnd, a nd centered around a volcano. Home to the dwarves that Joey bought from another world, who averaged about one meter in height, they were all master bcksmiths. The entire isnd had been transformed into a town revolving around the volcano.

  Then there was Liqueur Isnd, a much simpler setup. The isnd's centerpiece, Great Mountain, was surrounded by scattered vilges. The Oni Tribe, known for their unruly nature, expecting them to behave was ughable.

  They loved drinking, and Liqueur Isnd boasted natural liquor springs, carefully modified through special means.

  Noko Isnd, Yakigashi Isnd, and Liqueur Isnd—each had its own distinct style. At first gnce, their modifications might not seem overly extravagant, but a deeper analysis would reveal the staggering costs. It was like paving the streets with gold, silver, and even diamonds! Precious materials were scattered about as if they were nothing.

  Finally, Opera brought Joey to Tanega Isnd. As they nded, Joey jumped off and touched down gracefully.

  "Big Brother!"

  Broyé ran over with a bright smile. "Big Brother, you're back?"

  Joey ruffled Broye's hair. "How's everything going?"

  Broyé grinned. "Honestly, there's not much I need to do. My job is just to learn. The family's management team handles everything else."

  Joey nodded approvingly. "That's right. Your job is to oversee the big picture. That's the most important thing. Everything else is just minor details. Got it?"

  "Mhm!" Broyé nodded enthusiastically, looking genuinely happy.

  Joey had a clear stance on how family members should operate. In this world, there was no shortage of talented individuals. If necessary, he could even recruit from other worlds or train them himself.

  The key was not about having abilities but about proper management.

  Each of the 36 isnds had been assigned 100 managers and 500 support staff. With this setup, managing a popution of 100,000 was no issue. The family ministers only needed to handle major decisions.

  "Your Majesty, Joey!"

  "Your Majesty!"

  The Tontattas ran over excitedly, chattering non-stop.

  Joey spent about half an hour chatting with them before sending them off, then turned to observe Tanega Isnd.

  Compared to the previous three isnds, Tanega Isnd was truly lush. Towering trees, over a hundred meters tall, were scattered everywhere. The entire isnd's architecture was built around these massive trees.

  Beneath Tanega Isnd, a small underground city housed the Tontattas. However, most of them preferred living above ground, making the underground area unnecessary for daily life.

  Noko Isnd had a warlike, Spartan atmosphere.

  Yakigashi Isnd was a fiery haven for bcksmiths.

  Liqueur Isnd embodied a id-back, carefree lifestyle.

  And finally, Tanega Isnd was a green paradise. Simply standing here filled one's soul with peace and tranquility.

  "Mmm—"

  Joey took a deep breath and sighed in satisfaction. "This pce has a nice feel. It's really refreshing—soothing, even."

  Broyé beamed with pride. No matter what, this was her isnd. No matter where she stood in the hierarchy, she was still its caretaker.

  "Heh heh heh." Seeing Broye's happy expression, Joey chuckled warmly. "Such a cute kid. You, huh?"

  Just then, his gaze shifted.

  "Huh?" He narrowed his eyes slightly.

  BOOM!

  Suddenly, the sound of cannon fire rang out, its deafening roar piercing the air. Amidst the explosions, arrogant voices echoed.

  "Kill them!"

  "Boys, destroy these isnds! The Oni Tribe, the Tontattas, and even the Giants—on the bck market, they sell for a fortune!"

  "ROAR!"

  Be they pirates or svers, their battle cries filled the air, while their subordinates let out beastly howls.

  The newly transformed Totto Land...Was now facing a wave of trouble.
