Chapter 34

Lin Luoyue: “Little brother, congratulations on becoming an official lord.”

Su Yu: “…”

Lin Luoyue: “Call me ‘Big Sister,’ and I’ll give you VIP 50!”

Looking at the message in his lord terminal,

Su Yu’s lips curved faintly upward, and memories slowly surfaced in his eyes—her figure appeared clearly,

clad in a white T-shirt and black ultra-short shorts.

Her long, elegant legs and slender waist were exquisitely delicate, barely fitting within one’s grasp.

Behind her, a tall, high single braid always fluttered freely.

……

Territory: Moonfall Forest.

Lin Luoyue closed the lord terminal message, her eyes crinkling with amusement.

“Knock knock.”

The gate of the Lord’s Manor was knocked upon.

“Enter.” Lin Luoyue suppressed the smile on her face.

“My lord, the lord of the ‘Sunlight Soaring Sky’ territory requests an audience.”

The maid bowed deeply and spoke respectfully.

Lin Luoyue frowned slightly.

“Let him in.”

“Yes.”

A handsome young man entered Moonfall Forest, escorted by guards.

He was the lord of the ‘Sunlight Soaring Sky’ territory, named Xiao Xiao Tai.

Ever since he had first laid eyes on the Moonfall Forest lord’s stunning beauty, he had been unable to forget her.

“Lord Lin, I’ll get straight to the point.”

He strode into the Lord’s Manor with head held high and a broad smile on his face.

Gazing at Lin Luoyue seated on her chair, his expression turned greedy:

“I wish to marry you and make you my lord’s consort.”

“Oh?” Lin Luoyue’s face turned cold.

She raised her hand slightly,

and a hero stepped forward, drawing the long sword at his waist.

Instantly, Xiao Xiao Tai’s smile froze.

“Lin Luoyue—what do you mean by this?!” He glared at her, indignant.

In the Myriad Realms Battlefield, lords cannot be killed.

Unless their lord crystal is destroyed.

However, for official lords,

death cannot be treated as lightly as it is for novice lords.

Because official lords have accumulated experience points and leveled up to varying degrees within the Myriad Realms Battlefield.

Upon death, even if they revive at their lord crystal, they lose five levels.

For higher-level lords, such a loss becomes increasingly unbearable.

Take the Class 11519 lords, for example:

An average level-20 lord losing five levels

means months of hard work utterly ruined in an instant.

Thus, seeing Lin Luoyue’s hero draw his sword, the young man felt a flicker of panic,

though anger dominated his reaction.

He refused to believe Lin Luoyue would truly dare kill him!

“What a damn whore—I’ll conquer your territory someday, and then we’ll see how boldly you act!”

“Lin Luoyue, may I interpret your actions as provocation?”

Xiao Xiao Tai’s eyes hardened with coldness.

“Tingyu, kill him.” Lin Luoyue waved her hand, issuing the order.

“Yes!” The female swordsman holding the long sword slashed once.

A head flew into the air; disbelief still lingered in Xiao Xiao Tai’s eyes.

Lin Luoyue remained perfectly calm,

fully aware of her own beauty,

and fully aware that others’ attraction to her stemmed from universal human aesthetics.

Yet she needed only one person’s affection.

“I didn’t want to kill you.” Lin Luoyue shook her head, gazing at the head lying on the ground.

Rejecting someone’s advances did not require killing.

“But I’m afraid Su Yu would be upset.” She said earnestly, watching the corpse gradually dissolve into light.

“Tingyu.” Lin Luoyue called out, lifting her head—the high single braid behind her snapped upright.

“Yes!” The female swordsman bowed her head in response.

“Take five hundred cavalry and one thousand archers, and raze the ‘Sunlight Soaring Sky’ territory!”

Lin Luoyue spoke, her eyes flashing with coldness.

She had long resented the name of this territory.

Her territory’s name contained the character “moon,”

and the territory corresponding to “sun” irritated her deeply.

It was as if “sun” and “moon” were a matched pair.

“I wonder what name Su Yu chose for his territory…”

Recalling Su Yu’s forum ID, Lin Luoyue’s face flushed faintly.

Su Yu’s ID was “Su Su Muluo Yu.”

Her ID was “Mu Mu Luo Luo.”

————

(Lin Luoyue, perched on a stool, paid no heed to decorum—her long, fair legs crossed in a casual slouch as she cracked sunflower seeds and said, “Esteemed readers, please be so kind as to grant some flowers and reviews…”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes: “Big brothers, I beg you—thank you so much!”)

A formal Lord differs significantly from a new Lord.

To assist new Lords, the Myriad Realms Battlefield granted substantial conveniences—allowing them seven days to construct defenses and withstand monster surges.

Formal Lords, however, receive no such conveniences.

First, territory energy can no longer be used to instantly construct buildings.

To construct buildings, farmers must use the corresponding materials and blueprints.

Territory energy is instead reserved for upgrading buildings and meeting the operational needs of the territory.

Of course, it can still serve as currency, purchasable items at the [Trading Hut] or the [Mystic Shop].

Besides using materials for farmer-led upgrades or territory energy for instant upgrades, building upgrades for formal Lords feature a third method.

Multiple lower-tier buildings can be combined into a single higher-tier building.

For instance, five Arrow Defense Towers can be synthesized into one advanced Ballista Tower.

Five Class-C Mess Halls can be synthesized into one Class-B Restaurant.

Five Class-C mess halls can be combined into one Class-B restaurant.

Formal Lords may travel in and out of a place called “Myriad Realms City” via their terminal.

There, they can encounter other Lords.

Second, recruitment requirements change.

Second, recruitment needs had changed.

Regardless of rank, recruiting any troop type requires a [Troop Recruitment Edict].

Hero recruitment, meanwhile, requires a [Hero Recruitment Edict].

Only with these two edicts can troops and heroes be recruited from troop buildings and the Hero Hall.

The higher the tier of the troop building, the more recruitment edicts it requires.

This point, however, Su Yu did not consider at all.

His territory would not develop troops or heroes, and its population cap would be difficult to raise in the short term.

Thus, today he had only one task to accomplish.

“Zhang San, for the next few days, you all will construct farmhouses.”

“Build them hard!”

Su Yu pointed toward the northern forest at the foot of the mountain as he spoke.

“Fill that open land—completely!”

“Yes, Lord!” After a night’s rest, Zhang San’s face radiated vigor.

For the coming days, Su Yu planned to build farmhouses to raise his territory’s population cap.

Vigorously develop construction capacity!

After all, thanks to the effect of [Transcendent World], there was no upper limit on the number of buildings in his territory.

He need not fear farmhouses consuming building slots.

Moreover, due to Effect 2 of [Sancti Blessing],

he need not fear insufficient territory area—he could even build structures outside his territory!

Therefore, Su Yu intended first to raise his territory’s population cap and recruit several thousand farmers.

He even sold off some unnecessary materials,

purchasing large quantities of cotton from the [Trading Hut] to meet the bedding needs of farmhouse construction.

“Sylph, Iloti.”

“I’m returning to Blue Star for a celebration.”

“I’ll be back tonight.”

Su Yu opened his Lord Terminal, preparing to teleport back to Blue Star.

“Understood, Lord Su Yu.”

“Understood, Lord.”

Sylph’s eyes gleamed with a smile—since the Lord had given no orders today, did that mean she could slack off all day?

Iloti remained expressionless, recalling the light she had sensed during the monster tide resistance.

……

Back on Blue Star, gazing upon the familiar cityscape, Su Yu felt deeply moved.

In just seven days, the Multiversal Battlefield had transformed his fate.

Ranking first in the monster tide settlement—surpassing all races across all realms—

was something he had never dared dream of before.

“Great God Su Yu, you’re here!”

A little cutie suddenly appeared and clung to Su Yu’s arm,

attempting to rub her utterly flat chest against him—without causing even a ripple.

Su Yu turned his head wordlessly and looked at Bai Bai Xiaowei.

At 1.5 meters tall, Bai Bai Xiaowei had a delicate upturned nose and bright white teeth against rosy lips,

dressed in a black dress.

She wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful,

but she certainly possessed a certain charm.

“Don’t worry, Great God Su Yu—I’ll never reveal your secret!”

Bai Bai Xiaowei ducked her head and whispered furtively.

She knew Su Yu was very likely the lord who ranked first in the settlement.

Yet humanity across the multiverse was in decline;

protecting a lord ranked within the top one hundred was feasible,

but absolutely impossible for a lord ranked first!

Once Su Yu’s identity as the lord of the [Never-Fallen Territory] was revealed,

he would inevitably become the enemy of all races.

Countless schemes and plots would descend upon him without pause.

“What secret could I possibly have?”

Su Yu glanced calmly at Bai Bai Xiaowei.

“Right, right—Great God Su Yu has no secrets, hehe.” Bai Bai Xiaowei chuckled twice.

Today, Su Yu would attend two gatherings.

One was at noon: a class reunion hosted by Class 2.

The other was at dusk: a celebratory banquet hosted by the Blue Star Sovereign for the new generation of lords,

to which Su Yu—who had sold legendary dragon eyes—and Bai Bai Xiaowei—who had performed exceptionally well in the monster tide—had both been invited.

“Great God Su Yu is here!”

“Great God Su Yu, please take a seat.”

“Great God Su Yu, if you ever get the chance, don’t forget to lend us a hand!”

Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere was lively and bustling.

The moment Su Yu stepped into the room, he was warmly welcomed by everyone.

The Class 2 reunion did not take place in the newly opened Lord’s official venue—the Myriad Realms City.

The Myriad Realms City’s expenses were too high for them; Blue Star remained the better choice.

Many classmates wore broad smiles on their faces,

while a few others looked downcast—they had been eliminated by the monster tide.

Fortunately, they withdrew in time; no casualties occurred among Class 2.
