Chapter 219

"Even I, their Alliance Leader, am no longer respected by them."

"Especially that Maitreya who vanquished the World Calamity three times, who believes he far surpasses me."

"He constantly gives me the cold shoulder."

"Truly thinking his promotion to the Saint Tier was due to someone else's favor."

"If not for the Alliance providing them with Cursed Core."

"They would still be lowly and weak Tier Ten Lords."

"Back then, I was careless, too negligent."

"Giving them a chance to grow."

"That won't happen this time."

"All Lords must be under my control."

"The only Forbidden Lord can only be me."

After occupying Within Cangcheng.

Lu Cang transported all valuable corpses back to the Nest.

As for those low-tier units.

Lu Cang let the Crawlers pick and choose what to take back themselves.

Those with value, they devour.

Those without value, they eat to advance.

Now, units below Tier Six are of little use to Lu Cang.

One might say they are better than nothing, but barely.

The members of the Zuzhou Society also stayed within Within Cangcheng for a while.

They watched as Within Cangcheng gradually turned into a sea of fresh red flesh.

Their hearts were filled mostly with shock.

This scene was truly magnificent.

This was a city the size of an entire continent.

They could be said to have watched helplessly as an entire continent was assimilated into flesh piece by piece.

Indeed, in the end, the entire Within Cangcheng was covered in flesh.

It became a flesh city in the truest sense.

"Everyone, if you wish to stay within my city, I welcome you anytime."

Lu Cang had already decided to make this a neutral base.

A base for contact between himself and the Zuzhou Society.

In this way, the exchange of supplies would be very convenient.

Having a central hub as a teleportation point.

Furthermore, Lu Cang indeed needed a city facing the outside world.

The location of his own Nest could not be exposed.

Occupying Within Cangcheng would naturally draw all the Alliance's attention here.

If they wanted to fight, they would choose to attack Within Cangcheng first.

This also left Lu Cang an opportunity for the Mother Nest to develop.

Now, the distance to promotion to Tier Seven is not far.

Promoting to a Tier Seven territory requires building a moat.

Building two or more moat derivatives.

And occupying a neutral city.

This task, Lu Cang has already completed.

As for this city.

After being occupied.

Within Cangcheng also formed thirteen hearts.

Unlike the Nest Heart of Baier City exposed on the surface.

The hearts of Within Cangcheng are all located underground.

Covered by layers upon layers of thick flesh.

Besides this, there was another surprise.

That was the 【Orbital Tower】.

【You have occupied a neutral city, and have obtained the Orbital Tower construction blueprint.】

【Its flesh has been analyzed and converted.】

【You have obtained the Gene Mutation Tower (Saint Tier).】

This is a technology-type building.

It is also the first technology-type building Lu Cang has unlocked.

Of course, if we do not count the Flesh Workshop and the Prosthetic Transplant Workshop.

The Flesh Workshop, strictly speaking, cannot be classified as a pure technology building.

It belongs more to the category of essential basic research buildings.

As for the Prosthetic Transplant Workshop, it is a building similar to a Forge Hall, not purely technology-type either.

【Gene Mutation Tower】

【Operation: Generate intense light capable of altering gene sequences; upon striking enemy units, it shatters and recombines their genes, inducing malignant mutations.】

Non-Saint-class units exposed to the light will randomly mutate into unlocked friendly units based on their size.

【Saint-class units require multiple exposures to complete mutation.】

Post-mutation units retain their original rank, but their species changes to an unlocked friendly unit, and their allegiance shifts to "Lu Cang."

【Construction requirement: 1.5 billion flesh.】

【Construction time cost: 6 hours.】

【Description: A powerful weapon that forcibly destroys and rewrites biological genes.】

【Description 2: Possesses strong transformative effects on the mind.】

This was Lu Cang's first time acquiring a Saint-class structure.

Not long ago, the Sky Tower had obliterated him with a single shot—Lu Cang still remembered it vividly.

The firepower was indeed sufficient.

If not for his strong survival ability, he might truly have been resurrected by that shot.

Of course, for Lu Cang now, death was no big deal.

Even after resurrection, he could simply return with flesh of the same origin.

It was completely fine.

But the construction cost was indeed exorbitant.

Lu Cang planned to build four first, just to try them out.

Place them in the four directions: East, West, North, and South.

Some members of the Zuzhou Society chose to remain within Cangcheng for rest and repair.

Other members of the Zuzhou Society declared their intent to return to their own territories.

Boda was taken away by the vice-chairman.

The vice-chairman said he would help Boda select a suitable territory to establish.

Boda's territory seed had not yet been used.

He could still choose a location to establish his territory.

Outside Cangcheng, the number of stationed lords was growing ever larger.

These lords intended to retake Cangcheng.

Just after seizing the city, the siege had turned into a defense.

The benefits of the Blood Mist Flower had become fully apparent.

Almost all lords within Cangcheng had been expelled.

Lu Cang had also unlocked the research into disease.
