He opened his territory information and found that he had missed a message.
Territory prompt: "Your territory level has reached the upgrade requirement. Do you wish to upgrade?"
Territory star upgrades required his active confirmation, and he had almost forgotten about it. He immediately clicked to upgrade.
Territory prompt: "Your territory has been upgraded to level 2."
[Territory Name: Heavenly Court]
[Lord: Zhou Yan (Detailed Profile)]
[Quality: White (Colored · Hidden)]
[Territory Talent: Special Items +10%]
[Territory Level: Level 1 (Next star requires building 5 buildings of level 2 or above)]
[Area: 1000 square meters]
[Special Attribute: All Human Attributes +10%]
[Buildings: King's Crystal (Level 1), Spiritual Vein Bamboo House (Level 1), Bronze Sparrow Terrace (Level 1), Mysterious Shop (Level 1), Blazing Flame Tower (Level 1), Thorny Vine Fence (Level 1)]
[Villagers: 1]
[Resources: Soul Coins: 1820, Spirit Coins: 398264]
Zhou Yan was very surprised when he looked at his territory. The information was more detailed now, which was excellent.
This was the benefit of the "server" upgrade.
"It even gained a special attribute, and it's +10% to all attributes!"
Zhou Yan was shocked again.
He had not expected a level 1 territory to have such a special attribute.
Generally, only territories of level 10 and above would trigger such special attributes.
The higher the quality of the territory, the greater the chance of triggering stronger traits.
He looked forward to seeing if his territory would trigger again after further upgrades.
The territory area had doubled!
He knew very well that other territories only gained such a large area at level 10. This was the power of the colored lord's space.
He looked at his territory's buildings.
With hundreds of thousands of spirit coins, he could now upgrade his territory buildings extensively.
Zhou Yan waved his hand and began to upgrade buildings one after another.
Territory prompt: "Consuming 200 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 2."
Territory prompt: "Consuming 300 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 3."
Territory prompt: "Consuming 400 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 4."
...
Territory prompt: "Consuming 1000 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 10."
"Finally done upgrading," Zhou Yan smiled and looked at his King's Crystal, but at that moment, he was stunned.
"Strange, why can my building still be upgraded!"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened, and then he became excited.
During the novice trial stage, buildings could only be upgraded to level ten at most.
But he found that his territory was different.
With trembling hands and an excited heart, he once again upgraded his [King's Crystal] level!
Territory prompt: "Consuming 2000 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 11."
"Holy crap!"
Zhou Yan was immediately shocked!
His territory was not restricted by the rules of the novice trial!
This was absolutely fantastic news for him!
After all, once the novice trial ended, all buildings would require gathering enough resources according to their specific characteristics to upgrade, not just having spirit coins.
Some buildings even had extremely harsh requirements, making it impossible to find the materials to upgrade them in a lifetime.
Building upgrades were a headache for every lord.
But he was now free from such restrictions and could upgrade buildings infinitely. This was undoubtedly good news.
He could not guarantee whether other conditions would be required to upgrade after the novice trial ended.
However, with enough spirit coins now, he could completely upgrade his buildings to a higher level first.
Nearly forty thousand spirit coins were enough for him to upgrade to higher levels.
The crystal was the core of the territory and had to be upgraded first.
Territory prompt: "Consuming 3000 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 12."
Territory prompt: "Consuming 4000 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 13."
...
...
Territory prompt: "Consuming 11000 Spirit Coins, [King's Crystal] level upgraded to Level 20."
[Building: King's Crystal]
[Level: 20]
[Upgrade Requirements: 20000 Spirit Coins, Ten 3-star same-attribute Crystal Cores]
[Quality: SS (0/1)]
[Defense: 7000/7000]
[Shield: 20000/20000]
[Special Attribute One: Thunder Attack]
[Special Attribute Two: Within the territory's range, all elemental attacks +10%, defense +10%]
[Description: Core hub of the lord's space, an evolved crystal, integrated offense and defense, actively attacks all hostile beings within 100 meters. Obtaining one Lord's Crystal can cause further evolution.]
"The King's Crystal can also evolve!"
Zhou Yan was greatly astonished.
He had not expected his crystal to be of SSS grade.
The key was that it could continue to evolve, and it required Lord's Crystals.
A territory capable of evolving buildings infinitely, he believed he was the only one in the entire lord's world!
He had indeed heard that Lord's Crystals could strengthen a territory's crystal, but those crystals were only for high-level crystals.
There were two ways to obtain Lord's Crystals: first, naturally by seizing them from others.
Second, by descending onto the lord's continent, one might encounter destroyed territories or cities and, if lucky, obtain them.
However, the first method attracted a lot of hatred, and Lord's Crystals did not have a significant impact on strengthening territory crystals.
Therefore, he had never heard of anyone attacking another territory for Lord's Crystals.
And more importantly!
He had never heard of any crystal that, like his, possessed offensive capabilities.
Everything within his territory had been evolved by the colored lord's space, so it could not be judged by common standards.
After level 20, his crystal finally required other conditions for upgrades.
Even so, it was still far superior to others.
After all, other novice lords, even with countless spirit coins, could only upgrade their buildings to level 10 at most.
He had double the advantage over others.
He was quite satisfied.
The crystal had gained an additional special attribute, increasing all elemental attacks and defenses of the territory by 10%. This attribute was truly heaven-defying.
Do not underestimate this 10%. Many defensive buildings might not even achieve a 10% attribute increase even after upgrading to level 50.
The SS-quality [King's Crystal] had indeed not disappointed him.
This was clearly more beneficial for heroes and lords of the mage class.
However, being able to increase magic resistance meant that his territory's people would have increased defense against magic in the future.
But he did not intend to follow the path of a mage lord.
After reaching level ten, lords could choose their professions. As a person from the Divine Dragon Nation, he preferred Eastern professions such as martial artists, cultivators, warriors, warlocks, and Taoists.
If there were hidden professions, that would be even better.
But those professional certificates were too precious, and each hidden professional certificate was extremely valuable.
He had heard that even in the lord's world, it was rare to see anyone who had purchased a hidden professional certificate.
