Chapter 48

One of them landed right on top of Chen Ping's Lord's Hall.

【Lord Trial, first assessment begins!】

【The first assessment will be divided according to the five major regions of the Human Alliance: East, West, South, North, and Central.】

【Number of lords existing in this region: 790/800】

【The total points leaderboard will be officially refreshed; public channel chat is unrestricted during the assessment.】

【The rules for the first assessment will be officially announced.】

1. This assessment will last for one month, and the territory level is opened up to Level 10.

2. The growth rate of all territory points is related to the territory crystal level.

3. If the territory crystal is destroyed, the lord is eliminated.

4. After one month, those who cannot reach 500 points will be eliminated.

5. All territory actions during the assessment are subject to real-world territory rules.

6. Mysterious forces will spawn irregularly during the assessment; if not eliminated in time, they will continuously stack and grow.

7. Light pillars will descend in the wild; obtaining items within the light pillars grants points. The more points, the larger the light pillar.

At this moment, everyone participating in the Lord Trial received the same notification.

The mist around everyone's territory was rapidly dissipating.

Some had barren, uninhabited land outside, while others happened to be right next to another lord's territory.

And before anyone could react, a golden list hung high above the firmament.

Everyone watching the list could see the ranking information within it.

This was the Lord Trial points leaderboard!

After waiting for three months, the points leaderboard had finally appeared.

Everyone focused their attention on the leaderboard.

Then they all opened their eyes in shock, mouths agape, with expressions of disbelief.

Some even rubbed their eyes to ensure they weren't seeing things.

But when they looked again, they found that the first place had not changed.

【Points First Place: 1000 points, Chen Ping (Nine Provinces Territory), East Region】

A simple introduction, as was the case for everyone on the list.

A point total, a name, a territory name, and the affiliated region.

But precisely because of this, people found it impossible to understand.

The book in Wang Ke's hand fell to the ground, and he stared at the golden list in the sky, dumbfounded.

He kept muttering the three words "Nine Provinces Territory" to himself...

And behind Wang Ke, his several heroic spirits also had ugly expressions on their faces.

As Wang Ke's subordinates, everyone had long known what kind of grudge their lord had with this Chen Ping.

Now, this was a fine mess.

The assessment had only just begun, and while everyone else had zero points, he already had one thousand.

And his territory even had a corresponding name.

What kind of concept was this?

This meant that Chen Ping was already an official Lord! And at least a Baron-rank territory!

Otherwise, he would have no qualification to name his territory independently!

In terms of points and grade, Chen Ping crushed Wang Ke.

And would Chen Ping, who possessed such a grade and points, be weaker than Wang Ke?

The heroic spirits looked at Wang Ke, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Wang Ke's eyes were bloodshot; even now, he could not believe this was the Chen Ping he viewed as an ant.

"It must be a mistake, it must be someone with the same name, it's impossible, it's impossible."

"He is a commoner; the assessment hasn't even started yet, how could he have points?"

"How could he have become a Baron?"

Wang Ke completely forgot that the lords ranked second to twentieth on the golden list also had points as soon as the list opened.

Clearly, in places unknown to everyone, there existed ways to obtain points in advance.

And Wang Ke, or rather the Wang family, was unaware of this.

The gap in status and position was fully displayed at this moment.

This made Wang Ke, who realized this, even more furious, and he transferred that anger onto Chen Ping.

He hadn't been able to obtain points in advance, so how could Chen Ping!?

Wang Ke immediately opened the public channel and then created a temporary group.

He wanted to pull everyone he had already contacted into the group.

As a result, the first person he pulled in exited without a word after seeing it was Wang Ke.

Before leaving, they even dropped a line:

"Sorry, Young Master Wang, my territory is being attacked, I have to defend it, I can't help you!"

Wang Ke's hands began to tremble, and the thick blood vessels on his neck made one wonder if they were about to burst.

He pulled in several more people in succession, but without exception, everyone exited again.

He even discovered that some had directly blocked him...

When he saw the message: 【The person you invited has added you to their blacklist】.

Wang Ke finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!

The heroic spirits behind him rushed forward to carry their lord back to the Lord's Hall for emergency treatment.

And in another part of the East Region.

Chen Ya stood up, laughing heartily.

Behind him, there was a massive crowd of soldiers clad in armor!

Among them was a squad of tall, muscular men.

They had used huge logs to build a frame, and on that frame was the Lord's Hall.

Chen Ya had actually dismantled his own Lord's Hall.

"I don't have the fate for grand strategy; my old man just thinks too much."

"In our Chen family, we just need to honestly find a capable person to work for."

Chen Ya looked at the golden list in the sky, his gaze locked on Chen Ping in first place.

The golden list had just opened, and he had already accumulated one thousand points, leading the second place by a full eight hundred!

And he was already an official Lord, Baron rank.

"He is worthy of being the man I've taken a liking to; we might have been one family eight hundred years ago!"

"Chen Ping, wait for me to come and join you!"

59: Additional Options, the Allies' Decision

Golden List First Place, Chen Ping, 1000 points, East Region.

Golden List Second Place, Saerduo, 200 points, West Region.

Golden List Fifth Place, Natasha, 30 points, South Region.

Golden List Tenth Place, Huang Qi, 10 points, North Region.

The gap between the first place on the golden list and those behind was a chasm.

At this moment, it was as if a bomb had exploded among all those participating in the trial, sparking much discussion.

Before this, every region had actually already formed its own alliance intentions.

Some, like Wang Ke, had long since united to form various factions.

They had made every preparation for the upcoming assessment.

They had gathered their strength, ready to slaughter everyone as soon as the assessment started.

As a result, after the assessment truly began, they were met head-on with a heavy blow!
