72: The world of caves! The Holy Temple of Healing!

“Boom!”

The light point plunged into the core area of Infinite City, disappearing from view.

The next moment, Su Jin felt as if an indescribably vast space had appeared within Infinite City; a complete world had been “installed”!

At the same time, in the center of the Lord’s Hall, ground runes flickered, light converged, and an oval-shaped portal emitting a soft white glow slowly rose.

[Prompt: Territory has successfully advanced to Level 4!]

[Prompt: Adran World has been transformed into a subsidiary Cave World of the territory, accessible via the ‘World Gate’.]

[Prompt: Adran World’s world book information has been updated, click to expand.]

[Prompt: Territory has entered the Blue Star Human Race Realm Sea Sanctuary, can draw Realm Sea energy to accelerate development, and is protected by Human Race laws.]

[Prompt: Promotion Gift Pack has been issued.]

A series of prompts sounded in Su Jin’s mind.

Infinite City stopped ascending, hovering steadily in this chaotic yet safe space.

Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling window, it was no longer the sky of Adran World, but the chaotic Realm Sea, surging with endless energy and possibilities.

Above the city, there was a transparent barrier, the ‘Realm Membrane’, under its protection.

The territory could survive in the Realm Sea and draw energy.

And Adran World had become the “inner world” of Infinite City, a completely controllable and growing Cave World under Su Jin’s command.

The light in the hall gradually subsided, but the shock on everyone’s faces lingered for a long time.

“My Lord… oh my goodness… where… where are we?”

Stone Rock looked at the bizarre scene outside the window, scratched his head, his face full of bewilderment.

Although the others didn’t speak, their gazes also converged on Su Jin.

Su Jin stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the mysterious chaotic Realm Sea outside.

His voice was calm: “Infinite City has successfully advanced to a Level 4 territory.”

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone: “This is the Realm Sea, but it is also a sanctuary opened by the Blue Star Human Race for new Lords like us.”

He pointed to the light portal in the center of the hall.

“That is the World Gate, which leads to the Adran World we just conquered.”

“From now on, Adran World will be our Infinite City’s subsidiary Cave World, a territory completely belonging to us.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed pleasant surprise.

A complete world as a subsidiary territory? What a magnificent feat!

“Cave World?” Li Yi’s eyes lit up, “Does Lord mean that we can also relocate our people into it? The resources there…”

“That’s right.”

Su Jin nodded.

“Adran World will become our most important resource production area. The specific development and utilization will require your detailed planning later.”

He paused, his gaze deepening: “Advancing to Level 4 means I have the qualification to return to Blue Star.”

“Tomorrow, I will return to Blue Star for a trip…”

He looked at everyone.

“After Infinite City enters the Realm Sea Sanctuary, it will not face threats from external worlds in the short term.”

“But internal construction and the development of Adran World are equally important.”

“During my absence, Li Yi will be responsible for overseeing the affairs of Infinite City.”

“The others will assist him.”

Everyone responded, accepting the order…

...

After everyone had left, Su Jin took out the ‘world book’ that symbolized the authority over Adran World.

[world book (Complete Adran World Exclusive)]

[Type: World Wonder / Rule Creation]

[Quality: ??? (Related to the world itself)]

[Bound User: Su Jin]

[Effect 1: World Authority — The holder can mobilize the power of Adran World’s rules, possessing a hierarchical suppression over creatures within the world.]

[Effect 2: True Sight — The holder can perceive true information within the world’s range, including but not limited to resource distribution, energy nodes, hidden spaces, and creature information.]

[Effect 3: Origin Mark — This book is one of the external manifestations of Adran World’s core origin. The holder is connected to the world’s fate and can slowly draw world power to strengthen himself or his territory.]

[Effect 4: Time Acceleration — The holder can use the world book to consume Adran World’s origin power to accelerate the flow of time in designated areas within the Yadlan Cave World (maximum range related to world energy level) (currently, up to 5 times the outside world; the multiplier can increase after the world advances). Note: World origin power can slowly recover after use, but excessive consumption may affect the stability and growth potential of Adran World.]

[Effect 5: ??? (Unlocked)]

[Effect 6: ??? (Unlocked)]

[...]

[Introduction: The root book that carries the history, present, and future of Adran World, formed by the fusion of three fragmented pages from Goblins, Elves, and Humans. It is both the recorder and the shaper of the world. Only a true Lord of the World can fully unleash its power.]

[Prompt: The world book yearns for evolution and growth. Collecting World Origin Shards (Small) * 50 will help Adran World advance to a ‘Small World’ and unlock more unknown effects.]

“Time Acceleration…” Su Jin’s breathing paused slightly.

Five times!

The time flow in a designated area could reach five times that of the outside world!

What did this mean?

Training elite troops, cultivating special talents, accelerating resource output, researching new technologies…

Countless thoughts flooded his mind instantly; this was simply…

He couldn’t help but curve his lips into a slight smile.

Of course, consuming world origin was a limitation; he couldn’t drain the pond to catch all the fish, he had to use it sparingly.

It seemed he would have to find a way to “recharge” Adran World in the future.

Composing himself, Su Jin turned his attention to another reward mentioned in the system prompt — the Promotion Gift Pack.

A virtual treasure chest, emitting a soft glow, quietly floated before him.

“Open.”

Following his thought, the treasure chest opened, and brilliant light flowed out, condensing into several items.

First to catch his eye was a large pile of coins shimmering with soul light.

[Soul Coins] * 1,000,000!

Next were several silver-glowing blueprints.

[Elite Arrow Tower Construction Blueprint (Silver-tier)] * 5.

[Large Resource Storage Warehouse Blueprint (Special)] * 5.

[Silver-tier Elite Troop Random Recruitment Scroll] * 50.

[Spirit Healing Sanctuary Construction Blueprint (Silver-tier - High-grade)] * 1.

[Spirit Healing Sanctuary]: Can recruit special medical units [Spirit Healing Physician (Silver-tier - High-grade), Recruitment Price: 20,000 Soul Coins/person, Current Recruitable Quantity: 0/10 (Refreshes Weekly)]

[Spirit Healing Physician Skills]: Holy Light Healing, Life Aura (continuously restores surrounding allied unit's health), Purifying Touch (dispels negative status effects), Soul Revival Secret Art (provides powerful healing to critically wounded allied units and temporarily boosts their resistance).

Seeing the [Spirit Healing Sanctuary] blueprint, Su Jin’s eyes lit up.

Infinite City had always lacked professional and systematic medical units.

Previously, the treatment of wounded soldiers largely relied on indigenous physicians and some potions gathered from Adran World, which were inefficient and inconsistent in effect.

With Spirit Healing Physicians, Infinite City’s logistics support system finally filled a crucial gap!

[World Origin Shard (Small)] * 3.

Subsequently, there were three energy crystals emitting strange fluctuations.

Su Jin’s eyes flickered; this was truly a pillow delivered when he was sleepy, exactly the material needed for Adran World’s world book to advance to a ‘Small World’.

Although still far from 50, it was undoubtedly a good omen.

Su Jin was very satisfied with the Promotion Gift Pack; it not only covered all aspects of territory development but also made up for the shortage of medical troops.

He just didn’t know if other Lords who also advanced to Level 4 received such a generous gift pack, or if there were differences.
