Chapter 402 - 17: Managing Lord (Part 2)
Since these ordinary residents lacked sapience, and the soldiers’ sapience would also diminish over time, there was no need to keep them here.
Lin Yu directly tossed them all into the River of Souls, sending them to the Reincarnation Hall to be reincarnated.
’Hopefully, after a lifetime of accumulation, they can be promoted to heroes in the next and live a little longer.’
...
With a thought, Lin Yu stirred a gentle breeze inside the Soul Hall. The wind, suffused with Soul Power, lifted all the souls within, carrying them into the River of Souls that flowed through the hall. The river then swept them away to the Reincarnation Hall.
Lin Yu’s consciousness followed them to the Reincarnation Hall. He watched as, under the hall’s rules, they autonomously formed a line and entered the Reincarnation Passage one by one.
Once all the souls had entered reincarnation, Lin Yu borrowed the authority of the World Tree to perceive each newborn in his territory. He found nothing abnormal, only sensing that this new batch of infants was of a higher quality.
’This must be the benefit of soul reincarnation for the territory. Over time, the quality of newborn residents will continuously improve, until eventually, they are born Extraordinary.’
’I hope that with the territory’s Spiritual Energy and Cultivation Techniques, this process will be a bit shorter.’
Next, Lin Yu shifted his consciousness back to the Lord’s Mansion and looked at the list of unlocked buildings for his territory.
From the four destroyed territories, Lin Yu had obtained six building blueprints: Heavy Rock Processing Plant, Heavy Rock Forge, High-Gravity Farm, High-Gravity House, Gravity Regulation Room, and High-Gravity Logging Camp.
[Heavy Rock Processing Plant]: Can process "Heavy Rock" into various secondary processed materials.
[Heavy Rock Forge]: Can forge "Heavy Rock" and materials processed from "Heavy Rock" into various components and basic equipment.
[High-Gravity Farm]: A farm for growing crops in a high-gravity environment. Gravity: 3x.
[High-Gravity House]: A house with 3x gravity, suitable for residents who can live under 3x gravity.
[Gravity Regulation Room]: A room where gravity can be adjusted. Current gravity range: 1x–5x.
[High-Gravity Logging Camp]: A logging camp for felling trees under 3x gravity.
These six building blueprints were all permanent unlocks. Lin Yu used them for himself immediately. From now on, he too could construct these unique buildings of the Titan Clan People.
It was just a shame that he hadn’t obtained the Heavy Rock Quarry. The buildings of the Titan Clan People all required the "Heavy Rock" material. If he wanted to construct these buildings now, he would have to transfer Heavy Rock from Als Territory.
However, if he destroyed a few more Titan Race lords’ territories, he would naturally be able to draw the "Heavy Rock Quarry" blueprint. After all, the quarry was an essential building for the Titan Clan People, and every one of them had unlocked its blueprint in their territory.
’Destroying other people’s territories feels pretty good. By the end of this stage, I should be able to unlock all the buildings of the Titan Clan People. It would be even better if I could get their Technology Tree.’
’As for the Beastmen, I wonder what kind of buildings I can get from them.’
’And the Crystal Core Giants... even the Goddess said their Crystal Core Technology is impressive. It would be great if I could destroy their territory and draw some of their building blueprints.’
’The only thing is, there are only 100 of them. And according to Zolt Hard’s description, their territory has a huge variety of buildings. I probably couldn’t collect all their blueprints even if I wiped them all out.’
’Hmm...’
’No, that’s not right. I can’t just think about fighting and killing all the time. There’s no need to seize by force what can be obtained through peaceful trade.’
’I should find a chance to try and trade with them. I might be able to get something good.’
’I’d better use an alias, too! The tree that stands out from the forest will be destroyed by the wind.’
After calming his desire for constant conquest, Lin Yu used the system to try and appoint Al as the sub-lord of Als Territory. This time, he succeeded.
...
[Congratulations! You have been appointed as the sub-lord of Als Territory by your Lord, ’Lin Yu’.]
[Because you are a lord from the current session, you have regained the relevant lordly permissions.]
Just as Al was ecstatic from receiving the system message, Lin Yu’s voice rang in his mind.
"Al, seeing how you’ve been working so diligently these past few days, I’ll go ahead and make your position official. Keep up the good work! If you do well, I’ll appoint you as an official in the main territory."
"I will abide by Your Lordship’s teachings!!"
Al immediately shouted his reply, then performed a grand salute on the spot, ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding residents.
A few minutes passed without another word from Lin Yu, and only then did Al climb back to his feet.
He paid no mind to the stares of those around him as he walked up to the city wall and gazed out at the entire territory, his heart filled with heroic ambition.
’Life is truly strange. The drastic ups and downs of the past few days—from lord to prisoner, then to territory supervisor, and finally back to lord again—made me cherish my current situation all the more.’
’It also strengthened my resolve to cling tightly to Lin Yu’s thigh.’
He believed that with the help of the main territory, he could definitely become an influential figure among this batch of Titan Race lords.
Lin Yu tossed the land plots and resources obtained from the four destroyed territories directly to Als Territory. After all, his main territory wasn’t lacking in that small amount of area and resources, so it was better to use them for Als Territory’s development.
Thus, in just a few short days, the territory of Als Territory expanded to three times its original size.
