113: The latest news about Infinite City!

Inside Infinite City.

Su Jin stood on the watchtower of the City Lord's Mansion, his brow slightly furrowed.

He felt an abnormal surge of psionic energy between heaven and earth, and a strange sense of oppression enveloped his heart.

A thought stirred in him, and he took out an item: a fragment of the 'heart of god' left behind by Shi Potian of Panshi City.

This dark red crystal shard had been emitting a strange, evil energy ever since he obtained it.

But now, it seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, beginning to tremble slightly.

Immediately after.

A faint but extremely pure golden glow emanated from the fragment.

It flickered in his palm, forming a stark contrast with the evil dark red.

Su Jin's heart stirred, and he opened his palm.

The ancient patterns on the fragment seemed to come alive.

They were flashing at a specific frequency, as if resonating faintly with some existence in the distant sky.

"This is..." Su Jin's gaze turned to the distance, his eyes deep, "An aura related to the 'Source'... And, so ominous."

"Lord."

A voice came from behind him, interrupting Su Jin's thoughts.

He withdrew his gaze from the sky.

The golden glow from the 'heart of god' fragment in his hand also receded, leaving only the strange patterns on the dark red crystal surface.

The person who arrived was Li Yi.

He walked to Su Jin's side, a hint of worry in his brows.

"Today, many people in the city feel a bit restless, always feeling that something big is about to happen."

Su Jin put away the 'heart of god' fragment, turned around, and nodded slightly to Li Yi.

"You came at the right time. How is the situation in the city? How is Adran World? Is everything going smoothly?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi's face showed a slight smile.

He took out a palm-sized, dark blue crystal from his Pregnant, shaped like a closed ancient book.

As his fingertips traced a few lines on the crystal's surface, a light screen lit up between him and Su Jin.

On the light screen, various data, charts, and even dynamic sand table projections scrolled into view.

"Reporting, Lord, since the Battle of Panshi City, the development of Infinite City has been advancing by leaps and bounds, with all indicators far exceeding expectations!"

Li Yi's voice was filled with excitement:

"First, regarding population, currently, the permanent population of Infinite City has surpassed 500,000."

"In addition, according to the current engineering progress and resource reserves, all prerequisite conditions are expected to be met within three months."

"At that time, Infinite City can officially be promoted to a Level 6 territory!"

"Level 6 territory..." Su Jin's eyes lit up.

According to the Alliance's classification standards, a Level 6 territory is the upper limit for a Lord's city in Woma World. He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"Very good, this progress must be closely monitored. If there are any resource shortages, report them immediately."

"Understood, sir!"

Li Yi nodded emphatically, his face also full of anticipation, then he switched the light screen to the dynamic sand table of Adran World.

"Lord, this next one is our biggest surprise recently! The development progress of Adran World has far exceeded our initial expectations."

On the sand table, with Zhaowang City as the center, six clear arteries radiated outwards, connecting six newly built satellite cities, forming a nascent network of governance.

"Oh? These six new cities have already taken initial shape?" Su Jin was slightly surprised.

"Yes, Lord."

Li Yi's tone became more enthusiastic, "These six new cities were specifically planned based on the local resource distribution and population concentration."

"For example, 'Forged Steel Fort' to the west, near the Iron Volcano Range, is now the largest ore smelting and primary equipment forging center in Adran World."

"And 'Raozhou City' on the eastern plains, with its fertile land and abundant water sources, has become our main food supply base."

Li Yi paused, then continued.

"According to the latest statistics, the total number of intelligent life forms currently identified in Adran World has exceeded twenty million!"

"Among them, the human race, which shares our origin, already numbers nearly ten million!"

"These people, after screening and education, will be the most solid foundation of our Infinite City, an inexhaustible source of soldiers and labor!"

"Twenty million... ten million humans..."

Su Jin's face showed a smile, "Good, Li Yi, you and the team have done an excellent job. This is indeed our most precious foundation."

This massive population base meant that Infinite City's future development would have an endless supply of power.

Whether it was troop replenishment, resource extraction, or scientific research and production, it would receive tremendous support.

The hint of gloom in Su Jin's heart, caused by the abnormal movement of psionic energy between heaven and earth, was also diluted by this huge surprise.

"With this foundation, what storms need we fear?" Su Jin said in a deep voice.

He patted Li Yi's shoulder: "You've worked hard, Li Yi. The foundation of Infinite City was built by you and everyone, brick by brick."

Li Yi smiled: "It is my duty to share the Lord's burdens."

Just then, a communication alert sounded on Su Jin's Lord channel.

With a thought, he connected to the communication.

On the screen, the name [Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong] lit up again, and messages popped up continuously.

[Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong]: Emergency alert! All Blue Star Lords, please pay attention!

[Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong]: Large-scale energy anomalies have appeared in the Red Soil Plateau region! According to intelligence gathered from multiple sources, a spatial rift in a secret realm rapidly expanded, spewing out a wide range of crimson mist. This mist has strong psionic isolation and mind-corroding effects, and a large number of strangely shaped, extremely aggressive unknown monsters are emerging from it.

[Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong]: It is currently known that three factions, Ling Feng of Tiance Manor, Duke Kasa of Dark Star Empire, and Prophet Ma'ergan of the Three-Eyed Race, have already engaged in battle with the monsters in the red mist. Currently, all three factions are fighting and retreating at the edge of the mist.

[Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong]: What's more serious is that this crimson mist is spreading beyond the Red Soil Plateau! Its spread trend is unpredictable!

[Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong]: At the same time, the four Eternal Cities in Woma World almost simultaneously sounded the highest level of alarm! Power mobilization within the cities is frequent, and specific countermeasures are still unclear, but this is enough to prove that the severity of this incident has exceeded normal scope!

[Yong City - Lord - Zhou Yong]: The Alliance Military Department urgently reminds: It is recommended that all Lords avoid exploration and military operations in the Red Soil Plateau and its surrounding areas! Units already near that area should evacuate!
