Who could have imagined that the first official offensive against humanity, fueled by the rivalry between Ji Wumei and various young masters, would bring together the forces of six divine cities? In addition to the original million troops combined by An Chenyu and Ji Wumei, each of the four young masters brought a million strong army.
Indeed, they were the cream of the crop. They could only command hundreds of thousands of troops because their patriarchs had spoken, and they had begged and pleaded to barely gather the numbers. Ji Wumei and An Chenyu exchanged glances, seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.
Ji Wumei was doing better. After all, as a woman, though she had handled thousands upon thousands, her charm remained, her beauty like a flower. For instance, these young masters, weren't they all drawn by her beauty and skills?
Thinking of this, Ji Wumei's eyes flickered, her entire body exuding a soft, alluring charm that filled the teleportation array with a faint pink glow...
Within the City Lord's mansion, seeing that the war had stabilized again, Ye Yun no longer paid it any mind. With the new anomaly, Mu Ziming, around, even if all the members were annihilated, this fellow could unfurl his banner and summon another four thousand Yellow Turban Warriors. It could only be said that this skill was truly an unsolvable existence on the battlefield. Unless the opponent possessed a wide-range attack skill similar to his own!
And on the west gate, the Ghost Clan's attack also commenced at the opportune moment, but Ye Yun had no inclination to watch. The gap between them was simply too vast. Not to mention that the city defenses on the west gate alone could instantly kill them, even the reserve members could defeat them with two or three attacks. By the time they approached the city walls, the Ghost Clan army would have already lost thirty percent of its forces.
After several reforms, the reserve members were divided into five echelons. The first echelon consisted of one hundred people, each with over a hundred billion attribute points added! These were individuals who were automatically integrated into the four major legions each natural week. This single group of one hundred people was sufficient to withstand the invasion of a ten thousand-strong army of the Ghost Clan.
Below the hundred were the five hundred warriors, who were around the thousand billion attribute point mark. Each week, the best among them would be promoted to the hundred. After the five hundred came the three thousand masses as the third echelon, then fifteen thousand as the fourth echelon, and the rest were the fifth echelon.
In the real world, their strength might differ significantly from the players of the Ghost Clan, but within the Heavenly Dao, their strength far surpassed them, even though their levels were generally only in the early forties.
The number of attacks from the Ghost Clan this time was also significantly higher than usual, yet Ye Yun remained incredibly at ease.
"I wonder how Wang Chen is doing." Ever since he last saw that fellow, he seemed to have settled down in the Divine Realm, disappearing for half a month or even longer.
His talent had not improved, but his level had increased by 4, reaching level 54, which was a remarkable speed.
To help him rapidly improve his strength in the real world, Ye Yun had given him quite a few辟谷丹 (pigu dan - cultivation pills for sustenance).
"I wonder how many city evolution counts we can obtain from attacking the Ghost Clan's main city," Ye Yun stood in the thousand-meter-tall City Lord's mansion, overlooking the entire city, feeling a sense of anxiety.
The Sword Immortal's inheritance mission, in addition to requiring Wang Chen to reach the Monarch Realm in the real world, had a third requirement: the city's area must be double its current size.
Sword Immortal Inheritance:
1. Within two months, help the Sword Immortal's disciple, 'Yi Jian Xiaoyao,' break through to the Monarch Realm in the real world.
2. Within two months, pay 'Li Xiaoyao' five hundred thousand Divine Stones to pave the way for 'Li Xiaoyao's' awakening.
3. Protect the Blue Star Starfield from being destroyed or colonized by foreign enemies.
4. Protect Fengle Divine City and expand its territory by more than double within six months.
Of the four requirements, the second was completed on the spot. The third, according to Ye Yun's plan, could also be considered complete. As for the first, even if Wang Chen himself couldn't complete it, Ye Yun could help him, which would merely cost some more Divine Stones.
Only the fourth, expanding the territory by double, was a thorn in Ye Yun's side.
Unfortunately, the times the building levels could be upgraded were limited to the various buildings within the city and did not apply to territorial expansion. Fengle City still had 149 evolution counts left. To expand its territory using this alone, it was still short by a staggering 107 counts!
He took out a lounge chair, and Hei Yi, understanding his master's mood, walked behind him and began to gently rock the chair after Ye Yun lay down. This was his usual routine whenever Ye Yun was lost in thought, so it had become a habit for the servant.
City evolution counts could not only upgrade the level of buildings within the city but also the city's level itself. It could be said that this item was even more precious than the building upgrade counts.
Ye Yun squinted his eyes, watching the setting sun in the sky, his mind lost in thought.
Now his strength had reached the Minor Extreme stage. It could be said that within the Tenth Directional Universe, he was an invincible existence. However, he was not invincible in all myriad universes, so Ye Yun's constant thought was to continue increasing his strength.
But...
Ye Yun suddenly recalled the phantom image in that starfield.
"Xiao Hei, do you think the Monarch Realm is just a beginning?"
Xiao Hei: ...
"Monarch Realm, Extreme Realm, and then the Ten Directions Great Emperor! Why would that senior say that the Monarch Realm is merely the starting point for a cultivator? What is the end point for a cultivator?"
Xiao Hei: ...
"It's been over a year since my rebirth. The development of the entire human race has already surpassed the cognition of my previous life. The Demon Race, the God Race, and the Beast Race are all under my control. What should I do next? Continue to control other alien races? Or perhaps venture into other directional universes?"
Ye Yun lay there, murmuring as if in a dream.
For the sake of the entire human race's development, his own progress had been significantly delayed. For instance, the two main cities after the map fusion, Yuntian City in the New Fan Continent, and Dragon Palace in the Sea of Bitterness, these were all territories Ye Yun had secured for the Dragon Palace, for the Hua Yi Kingdom, and even for the entire Blue Star. As long as they reached the required level, they could immediately enjoy resources that other alien races were desperately pursuing.
However, currently, the highest level on the entire Blue Star was Wang Chen at level 54. But for him to reach level 75, it would take at least another half a year, and during these six months, he would have to constantly kill native God Clan members above his level in the Divine Realm.
"System prompt: Congratulations to Fengle City for repelling the Ghost Clan's 51st attack, and for achieving a lossless defense for the 51st time. Reward: City Evolution Count * 1..."
