[ Ding: Would you like to open the SSS-Rank Abyss Difficulty Rating Chest? ]
The system notification sounded.
"Open it." Su Ye licked his lips as he looked at the chest before him.
[ Ding: You have obtained Advanced Meat Resource Card x10 ]
[ Ding: You have obtained Origin Crystal x1000 ]
[ Ding: You have obtained Gold Coin x10000 ]
[ Ding: You have obtained Advanced Wonder building: Innate Spirit Source Lake! ]
[ Ding: You have obtained Unique Wonder building: Chaos Spring Eye! ]
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!" Only as Su Ye listened to the system notifications did he understand the sheer value of the Novice Period Lord buff.
Never mind the Resource Cards—the Advanced Meat Resource Card contained one thousand tons of advanced meat resources per card!
Even among high-level lords, this stuff was hard currency. Troop numbers were not merely a few or a few dozen; generally speaking, a single troop legion contained at least tens of thousands of units.
A one-thousand-ton meat Resource Card looked like a lot, but in reality, high-level lords' troops consumed more than ten Advanced Food Resource Cards a day as a baseline.
There was no need to mention Gold Coins and Origin Crystals. The more of those Su Ye had, the better.
The key was the latter two Wonder buildings, one Advanced and one Unique. Wonder buildings were divided into seven ranks: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Rare Treasure, Exotic Treasure, Divine Object, and Unique Level.
For an ordinary lord, obtaining even one Basic Wonder in an entire lifetime would be impressive enough.
There was a saying in Lord World: Wonders were a lord's foundation.
This showed just how important Wonders were.
Su Ye began inspecting the two Wonder buildings.
Name: Innate Spirit Source Lake
Rank: Advanced
Area: Diameter 100m–100000m (freely adjustable by the lord)
Form: Circular
Trait: Indestructible Spirit Source (continuously gathers spirit source, Never Runs Dry)
Function: Soaking in it could increase troop strength.
"Ridiculous." Su Ye looked at the functions and traits of his Innate Spirit Source Lake.
There was no need to say much about its trait. Never Runs Dry explained everything; as long as it was not destroyed by external forces, it would exist forever.
Most importantly, it could increase troop strength. That was the crucial part.
The main way troops increased their strength was by slaughtering monsters. Put simply, they killed monsters to gain experience. Lilith and the others had already reached Black Iron Three-Star.
Do not think that was high, nor think it was low.
First, Lilith and the others were God-tier Troops, which meant they required more resources to increase their strength than ordinary troops. That was why it was not low.
Second, Lilith and the others had slaughtered monsters for an entire hour, and all those monsters had been stronger than them. Reaching Black Iron Three-Star was truly not high.
This Wonder solved the greatest problem for Su Ye as a lord: the future cultivation of troops.
Troops needed to slaughter monsters to increase their strength. Simply put, they gained experience by killing monsters. No matter what rank newly recruited troops were, they all began at Black Iron One-Star.
That meant newly recruited troops required fresh resources to cultivate.
Thus, both Novice Lords and high-level lords faced the same issue: cultivating newly recruited troops.
With this Wonder, Su Ye no longer had to worry about the levels of newly recruited troops.
Even a slow increase was acceptable. At the very least, Su Ye no longer needed to worry about resources for his troops to level up—at least not in the short term.
Su Ye looked toward the Chaos Spring Eye.
Can't find the book by searching its title? Try searching for the author; perhaps it was simply renamed!
Name: Chaos Spring Eye
Rank: Unique Level
Area: Diameter 10m
Trait 1: Never Runs Dry
Trait 2: Water of Life (can heal any injury or curse)
Trait 3: Light of Evolution (animals and plants within 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 receive 99% reduction to all elemental damage while within the territory)
Trait 6: Devour Evolution (devouring other Wonders can produce new traits)
Su Ye looked at the Chaos Spring Eye, a gleam flashing in his eyes. "So this is a Unique Wonder? I love it. I love it."
Not one of its six traits was useless, and the key was that it could Devour other Wonders to gain new traits.
Su Ye looked over his territory.
Aside from grassland, there were only two buildings left, one of which was a dilapidated wooden hut—the Lord Manor.
Su Ye directly used his Lord Authority.
A lake roughly one hundred meters across appeared within Su Ye's territory.
Its limpid water was filled with spiritual charm and clear enough to reveal the bottom, though no living creatures existed within it.
Wonder: Innate Spirit Source Lake!
Then a spring eye emerged. From nothing, a fountain-like structure of chaotic jade appeared beside the Lord Manor.
Under Su Ye's deliberate modifications, the water flowing from the spring eye slowly trickled into the Spirit Source Lake.
Chaotic light shone over Su Ye's territory, and the entire territory seemed renewed, gaining something indescribable.
"Not bad." Su Ye nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the two Wonder buildings now added to his territory.
It was still too early to see much. The Chaos Spring Eye needed the passage of time before its effects could become apparent.
Lilith, standing nearby, watched the lake that had suddenly appeared, and her eyes lit up.
"Lord God Emperor, can we go swimming?" Lilith came to Su Ye's side and asked softly.
"Of course. It was prepared for you in the first place, and it can increase your levels." Su Ye smiled.
Lilith became even more pleased. She had merely wanted to take a bath and relax after the battle, but being able to increase her strength was naturally even better.
Su Ye did not notice Lilith's expression. Instead, he looked toward the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary.
Now that he had Origin Crystals, there was naturally no time to waste. Every day of the Novice Period was particularly precious.
"You go wash up first. Lilith, come with me." Su Ye spoke to Lilith.
The other Original Sin Fallen Angels looked at Lilith with envy, then headed together toward the Spirit Source Lake, planning to wash themselves thoroughly. After all, they had gone through an intense battle—well, it should have been called a one-sided massacre—and they had sweated or gotten bloody to some extent. Taking a bath was perfectly normal.
"Lord God Emperor, are you preparing to reward me? I am already prepared." Lilith looked at Su Ye with a smile.
Su Ye: ...
"If it is a reward, we can talk about it tonight." Su Ye spoke to Lilith, then led her directly to the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary.
Upgrading the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary required 100 Origin Crystals.
Su Ye currently had quite a few Origin Crystals—3100 in total.
[ Ding: Would you like to upgrade Barracks: Fallen Heaven Sanctuary? ]
"Upgrade it." Su Ye said in a deep voice.
[ Ding: 100 Origin Crystals deducted. Your Barracks: Fallen Heaven Sanctuary is now Level 2. You may check its detailed attributes yourself. ]
