Su Ye was not very clear about the storm in the Chat Channel, but even if he had known, he would not have cared much.
The Combat Power Ranking was ranked by the Will of the Eternal World. Su Ye had hidden his information as well, so even if his ranking soared, he was not afraid of being found.
No one could possibly find him. There was not a single piece of information about him. Even if there were divination-type troops, they would be unable to calculate his existence unless Su Ye himself did something foolish.
And exposed himself. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to find Su Ye through divination.
Su Ye walked out of the Holy Temple and looked over the scene within his territory.
The Gene Praetorians sat leisurely by the Spirit Source Lake, chatting. The Original Sin Fallen Angel and Pureblood Fallen Angel played and splashed each other in the lake. The Primordial Black Gold Dragon crashed into the Spirit Source Lake like a cannonball, then leaped up from the lakebed, sending waves flying.
Thalys sat quietly by the lake, with Pangilia beside her.
Istar walked side by side with Keisha, while Lilith lay lazily by the lake.
Everything was so harmonious.
Su Ye smiled at the sight, then paid it no further attention. A golden giant tower appeared in his hand—the unique Wonder: Tower of Eternity.
Name: Tower of Eternity Level: Unique Trait: Eternal Light
"A unique Wonder with only one trait?" Su Ye stroked his chin as he looked at the Tower of Eternity model in his hand.
He then checked what use its sole trait, Eternal Light, had.
Eternal Light: Possesses the attribute of eternal immortality. It can continuously strengthen and enhance the physical bodies of your troops, condensing eternal, immortal Divine Bodies!!!
"Very good. Very powerful!!" Su Ye looked at the Tower of Eternity's attributes. They were simple and straightforward, but effective.
It enhanced the physical strength of troops and could even condense eternal, immortal Divine Bodies. From this trait alone, the Tower of Eternity was worthy of being a unique Wonder.
Although troops were recruited, they were still flesh-and-blood beings. The strength of their physical bodies had always mattered.
For instance, compared with Lilith, Pangilia was only Black Iron 1-star, yet her physical strength far surpassed Lilith's.
What did an eternal, immortal Divine Body mean? It meant that Su Ye's troops would each condense Eternal Divinity. That was the most terrifying aspect of the Tower of Eternity.
Even the weakest troops would undergo transformation beneath the Tower of Eternity's radiance, eventually becoming indestructible eternal, immortal Divine Bodies and condensing Eternal Divinity.
With a thought from Su Ye, the golden giant tower in his hand transformed directly into a golden sun hanging high above his territory.
The golden sun hung over Su Ye's territory.
Lilith and the others also noticed the golden sun. It then vanished into the Void, and something indescribable seemed to have appeared within Su Ye's territory.
Su Ye knew that was the effect of Eternal Light. As time passed, the troops within his territory would sooner or later condense eternal, immortal Divinity.
It would take a long time, but it was all worth waiting for.
Eternal Light would strengthen their bodies at every moment, continuously increasing their physical strength. That required time and the tempering of years.
"Done." Su Ye stretched lazily and went straight to Lilith's side, leaning against her. Lilith thoughtfully began massaging him.
Su Ye narrowed his eyes and enjoyed Lilith's massage.
At the same time.
On Ye Xiu's side.
Ye Xiu stared fixedly at the first place on the Combat Power Ranking.
"As expected, that guy has already started mass-producing troops. As someone with Technology Side troops, he's developing far too quickly by working with that Little Merchant." Ye Xiu thought bitterly.
He had originally believed that even if he could not catch first place, he could at least enter the top ten. But now, it seemed he had been overthinking it. He had not even made it into the top five hundred.
However, Ye Xiu was not discouraged. Everything happening now was exactly as it had been in his memories, without the slightest change. The only change was himself.
"There's still a chance. When the Dimensional Rift opens on the seventh day of the novice period, I may not be unable to enter the top ten." Ye Xiu looked at the first place on the Combat Power Ranking.
He had given up on first place. It was too absurd. Su Ye's Combat Power had risen so much that there was simply no way for him to catch up.
He could not compete with him. He truly could not compete with him. What kind of person raised their Combat Power by hundreds of thousands at a time?
"There are still four days. I'll play it safe during these four days, build up my troops' strength, and give it everything when the Dimensional Rift opens." Ye Xiu made up his mind.
For now, he had better forget it and play it safe. If he did not play it safe, he would have no chance at all.
The top merchant of the novice period had already blacklisted him. Trading for the resources he needed had become much harder, and his development speed had been dragged down as well.
Not every lord obtained things suited to them. Sometimes, an item might be good, but if it did not suit them, it was useless. It was better to exchange it for resources.
Yet he had been blacklisted. As a result, both the efficiency and amount of resources he could trade for had dropped. Many times, he could only sell things cheaply. There was nothing he could do about it.
If he did not trade them, they would rot in his hands. He could still get through the novice period that way, but that was not what he wanted.
The Novice Lord period was also the only time commoner lords could obtain fair opportunities for development. Once the Novice Lord period ended, those second-generation lords who had developed poorly during it would begin exerting their strength one after another.
Their families had sufficient resources to allow them to develop rapidly. Compared to commoner lords, those second-generation lords only needed to do one thing during the novice period.
That was to preserve their status as lords while obtaining as many resources as possible. Even if they could not obtain any, it did not matter, so long as they did not lose their lord status.
Lucky commoner lords would choose to fully develop their territories during the novice period. Even selling the resources in their hands cheaply was acceptable, so long as they could develop their territories.
Once the novice period ended and its buff disappeared, all kinds of problems would come one after another. At that point, rapid development would basically become impossible.
Only now was the best time for commoner lords to develop. That was why people sold treasures cheaply. It was not because they did not know their value.
They simply had no choice. If they did not develop now, development would become even harder later.
In the end, the novice period was the best time for commoner lords to grow. Any lord with even a little potential would use every possible means to develop their territory and troops during this time, laying down a solid foundation.
Only then could they secure a place in the future Lord World. Otherwise, they might become someone else's vassal lord in the future, or even have their territory Devoured and turned into someone else's nourishment.
