Chapter 55

Actually, he should have noticed this long ago.

Lu Cang discovered that his territory actually had no territorial limits whatsoever.

Other lords all expanded their territory as their domain's tier increased.

The territory's range would also continuously grow.

Starting from a tiny village.

Becoming a small town.

Becoming a small city, then a city, a kingdom, an empire…

Growing bigger and stronger step by step.

But he himself, it seemed, had no such limit.

From the very beginning, the territory's range had been vague and unclear.

It also never said exactly which place counted as his territory.

But only now, at the fourth tier.

After seeing the effects of these buildings.

Did Lu Cang suddenly realize.

His territory, it seemed, could be infinitely large.

Anywhere that had been assimilated by him was his territory.

This…

If in the future, he assimilated the entire world into flesh and blood.

Wouldn't that mean.

The whole world was his territory?

"This, is this the supreme-tier territory?"

Even though he had marveled at it many times.

Feeling the might of this territory, Lu Cang still couldn't help being deeply shaken.

"The buildings have already been arranged more or less."

For the rest, Lu Cang decided to manufacture plenty of 【Embryonic Sacs】

As well as manufacture two more 【Analysis Sacs】

In the future, the monsters he hunted would surely grow more and more numerous.

A single Analysis Sac's analysis speed was limited.

If he had more Analysis Sacs, the analysis would also be faster.

As for the Embryonic Sacs.

Just max them out, build them to the cap.

There was no better choice right now anyway.

Moreover, the current unit cap had reached ten thousand.

Only by producing plenty of Flesh Worms could the assimilation proceed faster.

And the flesh and blood reserves grow more quickly.

The next evolution of the Nest required ten million units of flesh and blood.

Lu Cang estimated that at the earliest, it would take two more days to complete.

The end of his Invincible Protection period was already very close.

He didn't even know whether he could complete the fifth-tier upgrade before the Invincible Protection ended.

Moreover, after the Flesh Worms finished assimilating, there was still a hauling process.

The flesh and blood had to be carried near the Nest's Heart before it could be converted into truly usable flesh and blood.

But if there were too many Flesh Worms, it would cause congestion.

In practice, ten thousand Flesh Worms were about as efficient as five thousand.

"In other words, I can use five thousand of neural capacity to manufacture other units."

Lu Cang got to work right away.

He directly used all his remaining neurons to manufacture Embryonic Sacs.

As for everything else…

Only the Flesh Tentacles occupied neuron slots anyway.

And their growth time was only two minutes.

If he really needed them.

He could just dismantle the Embryonic Sacs and rebuild Flesh Tentacles.

After finishing all of this.

Lu Cang stretched his body.

All the preparatory work after the upgrade was now complete.

Next.

It was time to go check out the Goblin tribe.

As for posting on the World Channel…

Lu Cang didn't have that permission yet.

Only after the Newbie Protection period ended could one post on the World Channel.

The Community was the same.

So, Lu Cang had no intention of contacting his Curse Society companions from the same period just yet.

As for why he didn't join the Curse Society.

There was a very fundamental reason.

That was, his territory had changed.

His current territory was Supreme-Grade.

And to join a society, the society's reviewer could see the applicant's territory information.

What tier, what grade — everything could be seen clearly.

If they saw that his territory was Supreme-Grade…

What would happen, Lu Cang dared not guarantee.

Although, from their brief time together in the real world.

Elax and the Curse Society gave off a decent impression.

Still, one could never be too careful.

Even if the other party had no intention of harming him.

Lu Cang still had to play this petty trick, suspecting the gentleman.

Moreover, even if the society members truly wanted to help him.

In this world, he had never heard of any cross-spatial trading methods.

Even if they wanted to send resources over, they would have to come to where he was.

And once they came here, could they miss the Secret Steel Shishan?

An entire Secret Steel Shishan mountain body.

Even a Saint-tier lord would be tempted upon seeing it.

How could he guarantee that the Curse Society members wouldn't develop thoughts of taking a share?

Combining multiple factors.

Lu Cang decided not to use the token Teacher Elax had given him.

Not to join the Curse Society.

As for Elax's life-saving grace.

Lu Cang naturally kept it in his heart.

Once he became powerful enough, he would definitely help him avenge this grudge.
