[Ding: Would you like to open the SSS-Rank Abyss Difficulty Rating Treasure Chest?] The system prompt chimed.
“Open it,” Su Ye said, licking his lips as he looked at the treasure chest in front of him.
[Ding: You have obtained Advanced Meat Resource Card x10] [Ding: You have obtained Origin Crystal x1000] [Ding: You have obtained Gold Coins x10000] [Ding: You have obtained an Advanced Wonder Building: Innate Spiritual Source Lake!] [Ding: You have obtained a Unique Wonder Building: Chaos Spring!] “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!!!” Listening to the system prompts, Su Ye finally realized the true value of the novice period lord buff.
Not to mention the resource cards.
Each Advanced Meat Resource Card contained a thousand tons of advanced meat resources!
This stuff was hard currency even among high-tier lords.
troops weren’t just a matter of a few or dozens; generally, a troop legion unit consisted of at least tens of thousands.
A thousand tons of meat resources seemed like a lot, but in reality, a high-tier lord’s troops consumed more than ten advanced food resource cards daily just as a baseline.
Gold coins and Origin Crystals went without saying; for Su Ye, the more of these, the better.
The main things were the two Wonder buildings at the end, one Advanced and one Unique.
Wonder building grades were divided into seven tiers: Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, Rare Treasure, exotic treasure, Divine Object, and Unique.
For ordinary lords, it was already good enough to have a single Primary Wonder in their entire lifetime.
There was a saying in the Lords World: Wonders are a lord’s foundation.
One could only imagine how immense the importance of a Wonder was.
Su Ye began to inspect the two Wonder buildings.
Name: Innate Spiritual Source Lake Grade: Advanced Area: Diameter 100m–100,000m (freely adjustable by the Lord) Shape: Circular Trait: Undying Spiritual Source (can continuously gather spiritual source, never drying up) Function: Soaking in it can increase the strength of troops.
…
“Ridiculous,” Su Ye muttered as he looked at the function and traits of his Innate Spiritual Source Lake.
Needless to say, the trait of never drying up said it all; as long as it wasn’t destroyed by external forces, it would exist forever.
Most importantly, it increased the strength of troops, which was the most crucial part.
The primary way for troops to increase their strength was by slaying monsters to level up.
For instance, Lilith and the others had already reached the level of 3-Star Black Iron.
Don’t think of it as high, and don’t think of it as low.
First of all, Lilith and the others were God-tier Troops, which meant they were destined to require far more resources to increase their strength than ordinary troops, so it wasn’t considered low.
Secondly, Lilith and the others had slaughtered monsters for a whole hour, and all of them were higher-level monsters.
Reaching 3-Star Black Iron really wasn’t considered high.
For Su Ye, this Wonder solved the biggest problem a lord faced: the subsequent training of troops.
troops needed to slay monsters to increase their strength—simply put, killing monsters to gain experience.
No matter what tier newly recruited troops were, they were always 1-Star Black Iron when first summoned.
This meant that newly recruited troops would require new resources to train.
Therefore, whether they were Novice Lords or high-tier lords, they would all encounter the same issue: the training of newly recruited troops.
With this Wonder, Su Ye didn’t have to worry about the levels of his newly recruited troops.
Even if the improvement was slow, it was acceptable.
At the very least, Su Ye wouldn’t have to worry about the resources needed to level up his troops, at least not in the short term.
Su Ye looked towards the Chaos Spring.
Name: Chaos Spring Grade: Unique Area: Diameter 10m Trait 1: Never Dries Up Trait 2: Water of Life (can heal any injury or curse) Trait 3: Light of Evolution (flora and fauna in your territory have a chance to evolve) Trait 4: Favorable Weather (no natural disasters will occur in your territory) Trait 5: Chaos Aura (your troops in the territory receive 99% elemental damage reduction) Trait 6: Devouring Evolution (devouring other curios can birth new traits) …
Su Ye stared at the Chaos Spring, a gleam in his eyes: “Is this a Unique Wonder?
I love it, love it.” Not a single one of the six traits was useless, and the key was that it could even devour other Wonders to gain new traits.
Su Ye looked at his territory.
Aside from the grassland, there were only two buildings left, one of which was a dilapidated wooden cabin (the Lord’s Mansion).
Su Ye directly exercised his authority as a lord.
A lake about a hundred meters in diameter appeared in Su Ye’s territory.
The crystal-clear water was filled with spiritual charm, so clear that the bottom was visible, though there were no living creatures inside.
Wonder: Innate Spiritual Source Lake!
Then, a spring emerged out of nowhere, and a chaos-colored jade fountain building materialized next to the Lord’s Mansion.
Under Su Ye’s deliberate design, the water gushing from the spring slowly flowed into the Spirit Source Lake.
Chaos light shone upon Su Ye’s territory, making the entire territory look brand new, as if covered by an indescribable, mysterious layer.
“Not bad.” Su Ye nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the two additional Wonder buildings in his territory.
This was just the beginning, so not much could be seen yet; the Chaos Spring would require the passage of time to truly show its effects.
Beside him, Lilith’s eyes lit up as she looked at the suddenly appearing lake.
“Lord God Emperor, can we go for a swim?” Lilith walked over to Su Ye’s side and asked softly.
“Of course you can.
It was prepared for you in the first place, and it can increase your levels,” Su Ye said with a smile.
Lilith looked even more pleased.
Originally, she just wanted to take a bath and relax after the battle, but if it could also increase her strength, that was naturally even better.
Su Ye didn’t notice Lilith’s expression; instead, he looked towards the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary.
Now that he had Origin Crystals, he naturally shouldn’t waste any time.
Every single day of the novice period was incredibly precious.
“Go take a bath first.
Lilith, you come with me,” Su Ye said to Lilith.
The other Original Sin Fallen Angels looked at Lilith with envy, then headed together to the Spirit Source Lake, preparing to have a good wash.
After all, having gone through an intense battle—or rather, a one-sided slaughter—they had inevitably gotten a bit sweaty or smelled of blood, so taking a bath was only natural.
“Lord God Emperor, are you preparing to reward me?
I am already prepared,” Lilith said, looking at Su Ye with a smile.
Su Ye:…
“As for the reward, we’ll talk about it tonight,” Su Ye said to Lilith, leading her directly to the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary.
Upgrading the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary required 100 Origin Crystals.
Right now, Su Ye had quite a few Origin Crystals in his hands, totaling 3,100.
[Ding: Would you like to Upgrade the Barracks: Fallen Heaven Sanctuary?] “Upgrade,” Su Ye said in a deep voice.
[Ding: 100 Origin Crystals deducted.
Your Barracks: Fallen Heaven Sanctuary is currently Level 2.
