Chapter 273: Sunny Day

This world is not very good.

This kingdom is not worth saving.

"Then, let us make it slightly better, for the sake of those around me, and for my own comfort."

Sometimes, Li En really wanted to curse; he knew he had been schemed against.

And the self who schemed against himself knew that he would know; although a bit convoluted, this was an open scheme: you, Li En Sudar, simply cannot stand this rotten world.

I, Li En Sudar, knew that you, Li En Sudar, this "obsessive-compulsive," unable to bear the pile of trash around you, would take matters into your own hands to clean it up.

Give you power, and you will act, because you are Li En Sudar, you are "Li En Sudar who cannot tolerate filth around him."

"I will do a little, I will change a little, I will make the things I see a little cleaner."

Li En always considered himself a chameleon, an ordinary person capable of adapting to the environment.

But reality told him that previously being able to adapt to and endure the environment was simply because the night was not dark enough, and the environment had not yet deteriorated to the point of a human hell.

Li En thought he was very magnanimous and indifferent, simply because he had not seen an era where beasts and scum danced wildly.

"Give me power, and I will change the world? Haha, do you take me for a fool who knows not the height of heaven or the depth of earth? How can an individual reverse the times or change the great trend of the world? I am just an ordinary coward; I only wish to live comfortably."

Li En, without power, could still mock himself.

"Uh, it seems I really am a fool."

Li En, with power, still mocked himself.

"I do not need to change too much; I will just make the people around me live a little more comfortably; a little is enough."

Li En still said this to himself, even though he knew that if his greedy self truly achieved this "small goal," he would most likely generate a new "small goal."

"No rush, no rush, slowly guide the natural power; we must incubate it into a land of nature."

While the temporary rescue team was engaged in a fierce battle, another team was even busier.

Their work was also quite arduous: "Ulda Niu Mo" was dead, yet the "seedling" of the World Tree had not been completely destroyed.

"Gugu gu."

The World Tree seedling, half corrupted by hell and half disintegrating, was pulsating constantly; half resembling a heart and half resembling a plant, its form was quite twisted.

And around it were various mushrooms.

Gu Gu, along with the mental power of over a hundred mushroom people, was catalyzing the power of this "Heart of the World Tree" into the source of this nature.

These "Alchemical Druids" were connecting with this nature.

The ground here had already begun to rewrite itself; originally dangerous demonic plants turned into harmless grass and trees, and the surging natural power would also make the soil here fertile.

At the same time, another group of mushroom people was transplanting the "glowing moss" brought from the Underworld onto the walls and ceiling here.

These special plants, in this rich natural area, were growing rapidly, giving this underground place light as if it were above ground.

"With 'sunlight,' 'fertile soil,' and 'water,' life can survive and continue."

The basic survival environment here seemed to lack only water? And the group had actually come along an underground river.

By slightly guiding and modifying the river channel to create a circulating tributary stream, the water source here would be sufficient for at least a thousand-person town.

This was Gu Gu's proposal to Li En earlier: if Ulda Niu Mo was killed, a land of life could be established in this underground area.

And Li En believed him, and based on this premise, formulated the entire plan.

"I have already made a deal with Dai Niya and His Excellency the City Lord; if the Land of Life is established, then it will become my fief."

Li En was merely a knight and was not qualified to own a fief.

But if he saved the hostages and established great merit, he could be ennobled as a baron.

This land was conquered by him; at that time, he would utilize the clause for Reclamation Knights to demand ownership of this wasteland, and Dai Niya and the others would naturally not refuse.

"At that time, those runaway slaves, if unable to live in the Dock District, could be relocated here."

This was actually exploiting a legal loophole; theoretically, the entire city was the fief of the City Lord's family, and other families could not acquire any piece of fief within it.

But this was the "Underworld," outside the city; when it, as the new land conquered by Li En the Reclamation Knight (non-national territory), was incorporated into the kingdom's scope, then he would naturally have the first right to the fief.
