The moment Ouyang Shuo arrived at Plymouth Harbor, a system announcement resounded all over the world.
[Global Announcement: Congratulations to China's player Not Have Clothes for leading Shanhai City's ocean fleet and completing a voyage across three continents and three oceans. This is unprecedented and will be recorded in the history books. The player will be rewarded with 50,000 achievement points, 100,000 reputation points, and a special item. Congratulations to the player! "
...
As soon as the announcement came out, the players around the world could only exclaim in surprise.
It had been more than four months since then, and the magnificent feat of Shanhai City's ocean-going fleet had long been known to the world. Along the way, they had set off waves and even terrifying waves in Southeast Asia, the Gulf of Aden, and the Mediterranean Sea.
Not only Shanhai City, but the players all over the world were paying attention to this unprecedented ocean-going fleet. Some were envious, some were jealous, and some were simply amazed.
A new page had been turned in the history of the game's ocean-going fleet.
Ouyang Shuo clearly remembered that in his previous life, it was the Spanish Invincible Fleet that had achieved such an achievement.
History had quietly changed.
The moment they arrived in England, Shanhai City had officially become a territory that had an important influence on the world. Be it in terms of reputation or speaking power, they had already surpassed the scope of the China region.
...
Ouyang Shuo stood at the bow of the ship with a complicated expression.
At this moment, he thought of many things. The scenes that he had experienced along the way flashed through his mind.
The stormy waves in the Spratly Islands, the mysterious and unpredictable Dragon Island, the life-and-death battle in Star Nation, the bloody night in Somalia, the underwater journey in Atlantis …
These scenes seemed to have happened just yesterday.
Along the way, Shanhai City had gained a lot, but also lost a lot. The officers and soldiers of the ocean-going fleet had been replaced several times. Thousands of officers and soldiers had been completely buried at the bottom of the sea for the sake of the territory's maritime hegemony.
The ocean-going fleet had traversed mountains of corpses and seas of blood to achieve the great achievement that it had today.
The opening of the Grand Line, the establishment of Star State County, Friendship City, and the Base City, and the establishment of the Mediterranean Sea Alliance were all major events that affected the countries along the way.
While Shanhai City was stirring up the flames of war, it was also constantly gaining friendship.
The tempering of blood and fire made the ocean-going fleet unstoppable.
"In the end, we still succeeded, didn't we?" Ouyang Shuo's expression was lonely, but his eyes were unusually firm. Ouyang Shuo was far from reaching the end of the road to supremacy, and he did not allow his heart to have a trace of weakness or waver.
Not far away, Zheng He looked at the back of the marquis with a complicated look in his eyes. He sighed inwardly. The road to becoming a king is lonely, Zheng He thought.
At this moment, Zheng He suddenly felt that he understood the Marquis.
She understood the loneliness hidden under the unswerving determination.
At the end of the day, the Marquis was only a young man in his twenties, but he was already shouldering the hopes and hopes of tens of millions of subjects, leading them through the wilderness.
…
A white light flashed in Ouyang Shuo's hand as an exquisite scroll appeared. It was the special item that Gaia had rewarded him with. When he opened it, he saw that it was the [Map of the Global Sea Area], which detailed the geographical information of each ocean.
This map was extremely crucial to Shanhai City's path of hegemony over the seas. With it, it would save the navy a lot of surveying work, saving countless manpower and resources, and winning the most precious time.
More importantly, with Gaia's reward of 50,000 merit points, Ouyang Shuo's total merit points broke through the million mark in one fell swoop, allowing him to be promoted to Duke.
As such, it triggered a second system announcement.
"Global announcement: Congratulations to the China region's player Not Have Clothes for becoming the world's first Territorial Lord to be promoted to Duke. He will be given the title [Duke of Shanhai] and rewarded with 50,000 Reputation Points. Specific rewards will be distributed in the capital."
…
Such a brilliant achievement could only be described as amazing.
If Ouyang Shuo did not remember wrongly, the world's first Duke in his previous life was born at the end of Gaia's fourth year. This also meant that in this life, Ouyang Shuo had achieved this achievement more than a year in advance.
Ouyang Shuo's position as the world's number one Territorial Lord became more and more solid.
At this point, Shanhai City's path to becoming a nation had been cleared of the final obstacle. All that was left was to promote Shanhai City to a capital as soon as possible.
Currently, Shanhai City was only a second-level county city. When Ouyang Shuo returned, he should be able to successfully promote Shanhai City to a third-level county city.
As for promoting to a capital city, it would probably take some more tempering.
Ignoring everything else, how to quickly fill the population limit of one million was a huge problem.
Not to mention, Gaia would definitely set up a capital city promotion mission.
The difficulty of promotion was definitely higher than crossing from a county city to a county city. This was because a capital city was a qualitative leap. The capital city of a player's territory should be comparable to a system's capital city.
Of course, everything would have to wait until Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City.
As for the title [Duke of Shanhai] bestowed by Gaia, after the territory was officially established, the Territorial Lord could choose his own title. It was not limited to the title [Duke of Shanhai].
When establishing a nation, it was best for the title to be a single word. Otherwise, it would sound like a miscellaneous kingdom that did not have any grandeur. In more serious cases, a simple title could even affect the destiny of the nation.
For the China region's title, the Territorial Lord could borrow the title of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period or choose a new one. Ouyang Shuo had to consult Jiang Shang, Xiao He, and the other old officials on how to do it.
This was because borrowing the title of a country might result in the country's conscription.
When he was promoted to a Duke, Gaia rewarded him with 50,000 Reputation Points. This allowed Ouyang Shuo's total Reputation Points to break through the million mark and be promoted to [Renowned Across the World].
As such, it could be said that he had accumulated enough.
The sound of the system's notification sounded out by Ouyang Shuo's ears.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Don't Say You Don't Have Clothes, your reputation has exceeded 1,000,000 points, and you have been promoted to [Renowned Across the Seas]. You will be given the title [Overlord] as a reward, congratulations player!"
[Overlord]: Increases favorability with historical characters by 55, increases success rate of subduing historical characters by 30, increases success rate of subduing foreign historical characters by 20.
Compared to the previous [Mighty Lord], [Overlord]'s attributes were not only greatly improved, but it also increased the success rate of subduing foreign historical figures, which matched the description of [Renowned Across the Seas].
It would be much easier for Ouyang Shuo to persuade Alvaro to surrender now.
His reputation had reached the sixth rank, [Renowned Across the Seas], and he had reached the upper limit of the game period. Further up, Gaia did not have any settings. It would require a system update before the relevant settings would be added.
It was likely that Gaia never expected that there would be a "crazy" player like Ouyang Shuo, who was able to break through the million mark in three years in Gaia.
Even in his previous life's five years in Gaia, no one had achieved such an accomplishment.
Ouyang Shuo's action was unprecedented.
He reckoned that there would be no one like him in the future.
Thankfully, there was no system announcement for him to break through the upper limit of his reputation. If not, it would be too eye-catching for three consecutive global announcements to be triggered by Ouyang Shuo.
If he was too high-profile, people would bear a grudge against him.
Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo checked his complete personal attributes.

Apart from his title and title, Ouyang Shuo's other attributes had also undergone earth-shattering changes. Whether it was his basic attributes, equipment, techniques, etc., they had all undergone a sharp change.
Even his weak attribute, [Fortune], had begun to be filled.
Ouyang Shuo had already given the Dragon Phoenix Imperial Pendant among the treasures to Song Jia before setting out to sea. The Purple Magnetic Ore that he had obtained in Atlantis just happened to fill the gap in the Dragon Phoenix Imperial Pendant.
After setting out to sea, after a period of adjustment, Little Green finally acknowledged Ouyang Shuo as its owner and became Ouyang Shuo's exclusive mount, completely replacing the position of the Cyan Beetle Horse King Qingdian.
Ouyang Shuo's personal Mimicry Aircraft had unexpectedly also been included in the ranks of mounts. It seemed that Gaia's definition of a mount was not limited to living creatures.
After a long voyage, Ouyang Shuo's storage bag had gained another batch of strange special items.
Looking at it all, Ouyang Shuo's personal attributes could be said to be gorgeous.
Plymouth Harbor, Pier.
A series of system announcements disrupted William's meticulously prepared welcome ceremony.
Of course, William's smile was even more brilliant. Even the cold Annie could not help but glance at Ouyang Shuo. At this point in time, this kind of achievement really could not be looked down upon.
"Marquis of Lianzhou, no, I should now call you Duke of Mountain and Sea, welcome!"
