612: Level 5, Tier 2 Territory! The Dark Monster, the Calamity Magpie, was driven away.

[Buzz!]

[Your territory has advanced to the highest level of its current grade. Please complete three Class Changes, become a Third-Turn Professional, and finish the third advancement of the Shelter before you can upgrade again!]

... Su Lie looked at the prompt appearing in the air above the Core Area, and he stopped the preparatory work he was doing.

He looked at the territory again.

[lords edicts: 10 / 2,010]

[Upgrade: Requires completing three advancement tasks, the territory undergoing three advancements, and becoming a Third-Turn Professional at Level 100]

"Hmm? The territory only reaches Level 5 after the Second Advancement?"

Su Lie looked at the panel thoughtfully.

Currently, the territory's Lifespan had increased to 1 Jing years, and its diameter had expanded from 20,000 kilometers to 30,000 kilometers.

The Defense Value and the storage limit of the Mist Energy Pool had increased nearly 1 billion times compared to before.

Furthermore, the movement speed had increased from 1,000 kilometers per second to 1 Trillion kilometers per second.

This movement speed allowed the territory to instantly move to any area within the Silent Abyss.

In addition.

The maximum number of lords edicts Su Lie could issue increased to 2,010, an average increase of 500 per level.

However.

He was not keen on edicts and did not plan to widely implement various restrictive edicts.

This upgrade, after completing 1 evolution.

The territory's evolution chance increased to 50% again.

"Next time I upgrade, I can continue using blood coins to increase the evolution chance! At that point, I can directly complete an evolution!"

Su Lie had great expectations for the next evolution.

After all, the Wings of Deadly Poison that evolved this time were simply marvelous.

Especially the appearance of the Vicious Poison Creature.

He could completely order Su Ling to use the Wings of Deadly Poison to spread Deadly Poison particles within the Silent Abyss once every 72 hours.

Using this, the life cycle of the Vicious Poison Creature could continue endlessly.

Allowing these little things that were fiercely loyal to Su Lie to serve as a secondary defensive force.

However.

What disappointed Su Lie this time was.

The territory did not gain new Skills or Talents due to the upgrade.

Su Lie immediately looked at the territory's parasitize state.

This continuous increase of 3 levels.

Caused the Mist Pollution Devouring and Absorption Speed, the Mist Energy Conversion Speed, and the Territory's Total Defense Value Multiplier within the parasitize state's parasitize bonus to each increase to a 100 Trillion times bonus.

Furthermore.

The authority for the territory to switch and observe between three inner world dimensions of the Mist Main World had become six inner world dimensions.

"So, one world dimension is gained per level?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up as he looked at this entry.

Through this authority.

Su Lie also sensed the locations of these six observable worlds.

They were the Mist Main World, the Mist Pollution Layer World, the Shadow Realm, the Illusion World, the Dream World, and the Cthulhu Deep Sea World.

Su Lie was originally happy because he could observe the Dream World, but when he saw the Cthulhu Deep Sea World.

He thought of the starry sky world full of octopuses he had seen through the territory's membrane wall.

"Are they two worlds?"

He shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.

Given his current rank, the mist rule could not possibly allow his world to fall into such a dangerous situation.

After thinking, Su Lie decided not to explore these worlds for the time being, lest he alarm powerful monsters and be targeted.

He continued to look at the territory's deeper power—the outer aspect.

This time, the outer aspect also followed the territory's upgrade and increased by 3 levels, moving from Level 1 to Level 4.

Her basic attributes each increased by 11 Jing and 1,000 Trillion points.

[Life: 12 Jing 999 Trillion; Stamina: 12 Jing 999 Trillion; Agility: 12 Jing 999 Trillion; Strength: 12 Jing 999 Trillion;]

The outer aspect's defense, Mist Energy Pool, and movement speed were all linked to the territory's panel, and they all received the same changes as the territory this time.

Furthermore.

In the outer aspect's rule-based undying core, the time authority bonus that granted the manipulator 10 times the effect became a 10,000 times time authority bonus.

On average, each level increased the current level's data by 10 times.

In the rule attributes, the outer aspect's attribute growth per level and free attribute point growth per level changed from 1,000 Trillion points to 100 Jing points.

This was the same as the data change in the undying core.

Regarding the outer aspect's rule change, when the outer aspect transforms into the Dragon Kun state to face enemies, the effect of the 1 million times total attribute bonus gained by the outer aspect became 1 billion times.

"Did the Wings of Deadly Poison rule also receive an enhancement because of this upgrade?"

Su Lie's eyes lit up when he saw the Wings of Deadly Poison rule.

The consumption of the Wings of Deadly Poison rule did not change.

The movement speed it provided changed to 1 billion kilometers per second.

Other data did not change.

In addition.

The outer aspect's bonus duration, which could provide an additional 100,000 times temporary data to the total stacked data of the manipulator's time-related Skills, Talents, and Divine Abilities, became 100 million times temporary data.

The Skill Bonus, which provided a total stacking bonus to Skills, changed from 10,000 times to 10 million times.

The Attribute Bonus, which provided a temporary attribute multiplier when the manipulator's attributes were stacked with the outer aspect's attributes, increased to 100 million times.

After reviewing the related data bonuses of the outer aspect.

Su Lie had a deduction in his heart: "It seems the outer aspect can not only upgrade by consuming materials, but it also upgrades when the territory upgrades!"

"The only thing uncertain now is the level of the outer aspect!"

He shook his head and looked at the territory's Skills again.

The territory's Skills also changed due to the upgrade.

Among them, the Blood Escape Technique's bonus became: consuming 1 year of Lifespan could increase movement speed by 1 billion times, lasting for 10 years.

[Note: The maximum duration of the Blood Escape Technique is 10 years, and it can no longer be increased by leveling up.]

"Huh? This must be the 100 times bonus effect brought by the two gold and silver ores, which directly raised the Blood Escape Technique's duration to the maximum limit!"

Su Lie couldn't help but exclaim in admiration upon seeing this.

He realized that it was precisely because he had added the glorious gold ore and the brilliant silver ore, which could increase power, that the data for his Skills, Talents, and outer aspect had received such a huge bonus.

This was a great thing.

Furthermore.

The Shield of Defense Skill, which provided 1 Trillion points of Defense Value to the territory, changed to 100 Jing points of Defense Value.

The Confusing Will Skill's range of confusion became an area with a diameter of 10 billion kilometers.

Its expansion provided a huge bonus to the territory's power in controlling enemies.

In addition to this.

The territory's defensive Skills—Double Defense, Ice Flame Vicious Poison, and Dragon Might—each received a 1 million times data bonus brought by this upgrade.

"Huh? The territory's Pollution Conversion Talent also received a 1 million times increase. The amount of Mist Pollution that can be absorbed daily changed from 1 Trillion units to 100 Jing units per day! This indicates that the number of spheres of pollution I obtain has increased again!"

Su Lie's lips curled slightly after seeing the Pollution Conversion Talent.

Other Talents, including Mist Damage Immunity, Book of Evolution, Heaven's Cave, Mist Energy, Devour Control, Shadowless, Size as Desired, Automatic Repair, Abnormality Rejection, Adaptation, Loyalty, Hiding Clumsiness, and Life Barrier, showed no changes.

And besides the Pollution Conversion Talent.

The Lord's Radiance Talent also received a 1 million times data increase.

Its bonus effect, which provided a power increase multiplier for the Lord's Skills and Talents, became 10 billion times.

The Radiance Rule could grant the territory's Vassals a 10 billion times damage buff.

Su Lie's gaze fell upon the territory's Domain, and detailed information about the Domain appeared in his vision.

After observing.

Su Lie came to a conclusion: "Hoo! Overall, this promotion of the territory only provided a 1 million times data bonus and gained one evolution!"

Among these, the effective range of the Viral Ecology increased to an area with a diameter of 100 Trillion kilometers centered on the territory, and the territory's poison attribute attack damage increased to 10 Trillion times.

The number of immunity marks condensed by the territory by consuming 100 points of Mist Energy changed from 1,000 to 1 billion.

This would greatly save the consumption of territory resources.

Furthermore.

The effective range of the territory domain's Suppression rule changed from a diameter of 100 million kilometers to a diameter of 100 Trillion kilometers.

Such a Suppression range was already enough to cover the entire area where Su Lie's noble territory was located.

"The strengthening of the territory's domain indicates that my control over the noble territory has increased by another level!"

A fervent light shone in Su Lie's eyes.

Just as he was contemplating whether to enhance the Guard Zone's spikes.

Su Ling suddenly called out to Su Lie, who was checking the territory panel: "Master! Look outside!"

Su Lie was startled, and he immediately looked at Su Ling.

He saw that Su Ling's phantom body had become much more solid than before; she no longer looked so illusory.

"Huh? The territory upgraded, and you changed too?"

Su Lie asked in surprise.

Su Ling giggled: "I must thank my Lord for this! I estimate that when you complete the territory's three advancements, I will condense a physical body! At that time, I will be a person of flesh and blood!"

"Mm!"

Su Lie smiled, quickly manipulated the outer aspect, and looked up and out of the territory.

He saw.

Layers of ripples appeared on the dark space membrane wall at the edge of the territory.

Under the illumination of the rising sun's radiance.

Su Lie saw, utilizing the outer aspect's vision.

Giant strange birds were appearing one after another on the dark space membrane wall.

These strange birds had twelve pairs of gray feathered wings, and their bellies were covered with dense, strange hands.

Moreover, their heads actually grew on the back of their bodies.

The entire head was covered in dense, numerous eyes.

These strange birds were struggling to break through the membrane wall and enter the Silent Abyss.

Su Lie's heart jumped when he saw this situation: "They want to break the wall and enter the Silent Abyss?"

He immediately consumed 10 million rule fragments and entered the state of unity between heaven and man with the territory's outer aspect.

And at this moment.

Su Lie sent a message to Su Kuiyue: "Kuiyue! Order the warriors at the spike attack positions to prepare for the offensive!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Su Kuiyue immediately issued the command to all the Little Skeletons at the spike attack positions via the Guard Zone's command center.

Also at this moment.

Su Lie sensed the impending crisis through his enhanced Crisis Perception Talent.

After 30 seconds.

He saw that this flock of strange birds would break through the spatial membrane wall and fly into the Silent Abyss.

Fearless of the Deadly Poison and Suppression force of the Deadly Poison Domain, they released a large amount of distorted pollution toward the Silent Abyss.

This was a conceptual level of pollution.

The polluted areas of the Silent Abyss, once contaminated, would become extremely spatially unstable.

It would continuously summon various monsters from different dimensions to invade the Silent Abyss.

Accompanying the spread of this pollution.

The entire Silent Abyss would be completely reduced to a wasteland.

Not only would Su Lie be unable to build on the contaminated land.

Even he and the territory would constantly have large amounts of Lifespan deducted by the invading distorted rules while residing in this noble territory.

Buzz!

The next second.

Su Lie woke up from the vision brought by the Crisis Perception Talent.

His eyes narrowed, and his figure flickered.

Buzz!

Su Lie instantly arrived at the border between the Silent Abyss and the dark region.

Also at this moment.

A prompt from the mist rule jumped into his sight.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully discovering the impending crisis!]

[You have received a Crisis Mission: Disaster Magpies from the Dark Land!]

[The Disaster Magpies, possessing conceptual-level pollution rules, have arrived at the space-time membrane wall between the Silent Abyss and the Dark Land, driven away by an unknown supreme power, seeking to break through the wall and take refuge in the Silent Abyss!

This is an extremely dangerous life form based on the rules!

Once they invade, your Silent Abyss will be permanently polluted!

Mission Requirement: Block the power of the Disaster Magpies within 100 kilometers of your territory's edge and slay them all!]

[Mission Reward: Authority to construct a Dark Land Rune teleportation array, Blueprint for a Dark Land Rune teleportation array, Red Rule-level Talent Construction Awakening scroll.]

[Mission Failure: The noble territory will be polluted by the Disaster Magpies. The Disaster Magpies will continuously regenerate from the pollution, and you will lose the authority to construct the noble territory and be permanently unable to advance in rank.]
