After absorbing enough blood or cultivating with the essence of the moon, one can advance to the rank of viscount, double one's physical attributes, and live to be two hundred years old.
The count was comparable to a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining, and lived to be three hundred years old.
A marquis is comparable to someone in the Refining Aperture Realm, with a lifespan of four hundred years.
The Duke was comparable to a primordial immortal and lived to be five hundred years old.
The prince was comparable to a Golden Core cultivator and lived for eight hundred years.
As a second-generation zombie, Zorro's maximum strength is that of a duke, and he is expected to live for five hundred years.
Regardless of the generation, once someone becomes a servant, they always start as a baron, which is the very bottom of the power ceiling, as low as it can get.
Compared to the mere few decades of lifespan for an ordinary person, it is many times stronger.
Therefore, upon hearing that Huang Su had forbidden him from trafficking people in China, Zorro agreed without hesitation.
Compared to a long lifespan, worldly wealth is a joke, not even worth as much as roadside weeds.
Zorro is a smart man; he naturally knows how to make a choice.
Huang Su slowly said, "After returning to North America, I want you to focus all your efforts on developing our descendants. My goal is to bring the entire North America under my control within twenty years!"
Upon hearing this, Zorro felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. He was about to laugh, but the powerful pressure that was constantly on his mind made him realize that this was not the time to joke around.
Huang Su's words were not a consultation, but an order.
After calming down, Zorro considered the possibility of completing the mission.
Conquering all of North America in twenty years may seem absurd, but upon closer examination, it is not impossible.
Zorro couldn't help but think of the ancestor's elusive skills and his miraculous ability to infinitely develop his descendants.
"That's actually quite possible!"
He pondered to himself, nodding inwardly. Thinking about it this way, it wasn't impossible.
"Ancestor, your descendant Zorro will dedicate his entire life to the great cause of our ancestor, braving mountains of knives and seas of fire!"
Zorro lay prostrate on the ground, head bowed, and swore aloud.
Then, after a moment's hesitation, he pleaded, "However, my efforts alone are insufficient and too weak. I earnestly request the Ancestor to allow us to develop our descendants, strengthen our clan, unite and help each other, and work together!"
Huang Su nodded and said, "That's only natural, I have my own plans!"
Zorro dared not raise his head and respectfully replied, "Yes, Ancestor!"
Subsequently, the two held friendly talks on the growth of the entire Ying Gou clan zombie group and agreed on a five-year plan, a second five-year plan, a third five-year plan, and a fourth five-year plan.
Of course, Huang Su was basically the one talking, and Zorro was the one listening.
After a while, the Ying Gou Clan Zombie Family Meeting came to a successful conclusion.
The third deck became Huang Su's territory, while Zorro retreated and began to act according to the ancestor's plan.
First, all the white men were gathered together, and the strongest among them was chosen as their first servant, who was then developed into a third-generation descendant of the family.
Zorro's descendant is just as powerful as him, both being baron-level!
Then, the three generations of descendants developed into four generations of descendants, one generation after another, until soon everyone on the ship became Ying Gou clan zombies.
Perhaps, a single baron-level Ying Gou clan zombie is not very strong, but has physical strength ten times that of an ordinary person, comparable to a top-level soldier in modern society, and cannot cause any trouble.
However, it would be terrifying if all 1,998 people on the ship became baron-level Ying Gou zombies.
What does it mean to gather 1,998 elite soldiers who are disciplined, agile, and strong?
Huang Su knew this better than anyone.
Because, right before him stood a group of people, arranged in a row of 40 people horizontally and 50 people vertically, standing straight on the deck, waiting for the ancestor's inspection.
They exuded a powerful aura. Although they had never seen blood or killed anyone, Huang Su had no doubt that there was no more elite team in the world than this group.
"Very good. Sit cross-legged and begin cultivating according to the techniques passed down from your ancestors!"
Huang Su stood on the high platform and gave an order. Everyone sat down and closed their eyes to cultivate.
Inherited memories are the information implanted in the blood of all descendants, encompassing everything.
In addition to the Ying Gou Clan zombie memories that were automatically acquired during bloodline creation, Huang Su also stuffed all the knowledge and skills he knew into it.
Therefore, these 1,998 descendants possess 99.99% of Huang Su's knowledge and skills.
As for the so-called inherited cultivation method, it does exist. It is a method that focuses on how to absorb the power of the moon's essence for one's own use and strengthen oneself.
Although it is a basic method of cultivation, it is far more reliable than divine skills and ultimate techniques for all descendants.
After all, we're all zombies, so who's sucking whose blood?
Unable to absorb human blood to increase their own strength, they had no choice but to cultivate.
Therefore, Huang Su had no choice but to make this decision.
From that day on, the people on the ship were plunged into something strange.
During the day, they headed towards North America, and at night they all sat on the deck to cultivate.
Everyone's strength is slowly improving.
