Su Ye directly opened his territory status panel.
Name: Unnamed Level: 1 Area: 1000 meters in diameter Buildings: Shabby Lord’s Cabin Barracks: Fallen Heaven Sanctuary (Divine) Warehouse (100 square meters): None Upgrade: Wood x100, Stone x100, Origin Crystal x10 …
“It really is completely barren,” Su Ye looked at his territory status panel.
After some thought, he named it after his Talent: Supreme Heaven.
Then, Su Ye opened his personal status panel.
Name: Su Ye Level: Black Iron 1-Star Talent: Supreme Sovereign (Unique) (Talent Grades: Common, Excellent, Elite, Overlord, King, Mythical, Unique!) Territory: Supreme Heaven Personal Space (10 slots): 90 Gold Coins.
Lord Authority: Dominion, Decomposition PS: A completely unremarkable novice lord.
…
Su Ye looked at his status panel, not surprised in the slightest.
Personal space was a lord’s private storage, while the territory warehouse belonged to the territory itself; the two were not the same thing.
Lord Authority was an ability shared by every lord, giving them absolute Dominion over their territory.
Simply put, they could shape their territory into whatever they desired.
Decomposition was a special authority belonging to the lord used to decompose the corpses of attacking monsters.
Of course, this authority could also be granted to the Hero Units and regular units under the lord’s command.
As for whether to share it or not, that was entirely up to the lord.
Su Ye looked at Lilith.
As the first Hero Unit under his command, his early development would rely entirely on her.
It was worth noting here…
A lord’s very first recruitment was guaranteed to yield a Hero Unit.
This was considered a benefit and support granted to Novice Lords by the Eternal World’s Will, much like how recruitment during the novice period only cost 1 Gold Coin.
These were all hidden, unlisted novice buffs.
[Ding: Detected that the lord has recruited troops.
Would you like to start the Void Trial?] The system prompt rang out.
Su Ye looked at Lilith and the others.
The Void Trial was the primary channel for Novice Lords to acquire resources, but of course, it was also their greatest source of danger.
It could be taken once a day, and when to start it was entirely up to the lord.
However, it was limited to once a day at most.
It was also fine if one chose not to start the Void Trial.
But that would mean losing a day’s worth of resource acquisition opportunities.
It depended entirely on the lord themselves, with no coercion involved.
“Lilith, are you all ready for battle?” Su Ye asked, looking at Lilith and the others.
“lord God Emperor, this servant has long been prepared,” Lilith said with a smile as she looked at Su Ye.
“Very well.
System, start the Void Trial,” Su Ye said in a deep voice.
[Ding: Please select a difficulty level.
The higher the difficulty, the more abundant the resources.
Please choose carefully: Common, Hard, Nightmare, Purgatory, Abyss!] Su Ye looked at the five difficulty options before him.
The higher the difficulty, the richer the resources.
Was there even a choice?
He wasn’t one of those Second-Generation Lords who had the support of high-tier lords.
The only thing he could do was rapidly complete his most primitive accumulation within the thirty days of the novice period.
At the very least, he had to build a solid foundation.
Many things could be easily obtained during the novice period, but once it passed, it would become extremely difficult.
The key lay in whether a novice lord had the courage and strength.
“Abyss!” Su Ye chose the Abyss difficulty while looking at Lilith and the others.
It wasn’t as if no one had ever cleared the Abyss difficulty before.
Since Lilith and the others were God-tier Troops, there was no reason to choose any other difficulty.
[Ding: Void Trial initiated.
Difficulty: Abyss.
Battle will begin in thirty seconds.
Please prepare for battle, lord.] The sky above Su Ye’s territory turned blood-red, and the atmosphere became oppressive.
“Lilith, I’ll have to trouble you all,” Su Ye said earnestly to Lilith.
“Please rest assured, lord.
Just leave it to us,” Lilith said, a hint of blood-red flashing in her eyes as the Giant War Scythe materialized in her hand.
The other Original Sin Fallen Angels also conjured their own divine weapons.
The thirty seconds of preparation time quietly slipped away.
The space-time around Su Ye’s territory rippled, and hideous Imps began to emerge one after another.
These Imps were everywhere, surrounding them from all directions.
Su Ye checked their attributes.
Name: Abyss Imp Tier: Tier 3 Level: Black Iron 5-Star to 8-Star PS: Cannon fodder of the Abyssal world and the lowest class of demons.
However, to Novice Lords, they are a nightmare!
Su Ye looked at the Imps closing in from all directions.
“Is this the Abyss difficulty?
They range from Black Iron 5-Star to Black Iron 8-Star, and their strength is at Tier 3 troops.
This is ridiculous.” The tier of a novice lord’s troops could be high or low, but their level always started at Black Iron 1-Star.
Within each tier, there were nine minor levels.
“They really cranked up the difficulty,” Su Ye muttered, looking at those Imps, then turned his gaze toward Lilith and the others with anticipation.
According to existing data, the biggest gap between troops was not level, but tier.
Tier was an innate advantage, whereas level could be made up for later.
A hint of madness flashed in Lilith’s beautiful eyes.
Black flames erupted from the giant scythe in her hand as she swung it.
A massive, crescent-shaped slash burst forth instantly.
Wherever it passed, the Imps were pulverized, turning into the purest origin energy to be absorbed by Lilith.
This was how troops leveled up.
The other Original Sin Fallen Angels also began to take action.
The Imps, which seemed menacing and vast in number, were harvested like weeds before Lilith and the others.
“Is this the power of God-tier Troops?
I absolutely love it,” Su Ye thought as he watched Lilith and the others perform.
They hadn’t even used any skills, reaping their enemies purely with their weapons and physical attributes.
The sheer gap in power was unimaginable.
“It seems I underestimated God-tier Troops.
Or rather, no novice lord in this world has probably ever obtained God-tier Troops before,” Su Ye couldn’t help but chuckle.
The duration of the Void Trial increased with the difficulty.
Common difficulty only had one wave, Hard had five, and Nightmare had ten waves of enemies.
Starting from Purgatory, the difficulty ramped up significantly—it was no longer a set number of waves, but a continuous stream of enemies lasting for half an hour.
The Abyss difficulty, on the other hand, featured an endless stream of enemies that lasted for a full hour.
The sheer difficulty of this could easily be imagined.
This data was public knowledge, and people had cleared the Abyss difficulty before.
However, they would only attempt it during the last ten or even five days of their novice period.
After all, they would have accumulated resources for over twenty days by then before daring to try the Abyss difficulty, using it to complete their final wave of accumulation during the novice period.
But as for starting with the Abyss difficulty on the very first day, there was no one other than Su Ye.
Everyone else would choose to play it safe, focusing on development first and considering it later.
Su Ye sat cross-legged on the ground and opened the system interface.
There were five modules on it: Chat, Livestream, Trade, Private Message, and System Log.
A bizarre scene unfolded in Su Ye’s territory.
On one side, ten goddess-tier existences were engaged in a relentless slaughter, leaving severed limbs and blood everywhere.
On the other side, everything was calm, peaceful, and perfectly relaxed.
