30: Chapter 30 All Laws Return to the Source, The Eternal Lord

World Wonders are not only highly effective, but also extremely rare.

Even the most ordinary World Wonder has a drop rate from regional treasure chests comparable to Legend-Rank items.

If it were a high-level World Wonder, the difficulty of obtaining it would likely be even higher than that of Myth-Rank items.

In any case, Lin Xiao did not believe that the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce could produce a World Wonder for him.

"The Points Mall contains World Wonders."

Lin Xiao's eyes brightened slightly; the prices were not too exorbitant.

In fact, there were also some in the special mall, even high-level World Wonders, though they were still a notch below the Authority of Slaughter.

Lin Xiao hurriedly browsed the Points Mall, skipping the World Wonders that were too expensive and only looking at those he could afford.

"Huh, this World Wonder is not bad."

A moment later, Lin Xiao's gaze landed on a World Wonder, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Source of All Laws]

[Type: World Wonder]

[After successful loading, supernatural energy within the territory will be converted into Chaos Source Qi of equivalent concentration, and energy-type resources generated within the territory will also be automatically converted.]

Chaos Source Qi is the root of all supernatural energy. Whether it is Spiritual Qi, Origin Qi, or magic... the source of all these supernatural energies is Chaos Source Qi.

It can be absorbed to replace any supernatural energy.

As for the automatic conversion of energy-type resources mentioned later, that is easy to understand.

For example, with a special building like a Spiritual Vein, if Lin Xiao places it in his territory, it will change the environment of the surrounding area, generate endless Spiritual Qi, and nurture Spirit Stone veins.

After loading the World Wonder Source of All Laws, the Spiritual Qi generated by the Spiritual Vein will automatically turn into Chaos Source Qi, and the Spirit Stones will also turn into Source Stones.

"With the Source of All Laws, alien troop types will no longer be a problem in the future."

This was the point Lin Xiao valued the most.

The biggest problem with alien troop types is that it is difficult for them to grow within the Human Race territory because their power Systems are different.

Take Lin Xiao's territory for example; the Wind Shadow Archers were recruited later than the Frost Giants, but their strength had long surpassed the latter.

Originally, Lin Xiao had planned to replace the troop types.

Now, that was no longer necessary.

The Frost Giants were still very powerful; once the pain point of their growth was resolved, they could fully become one of the main troop types in the territory.

It wasn't just the Frost Giants; there were many other powerful troop types among the alien troops that he could choose from in the future.

"Ten thousand points, the price is acceptable."

"Buy it."

Lin Xiao did not hold onto the remaining 3,500 points.

Points were time-limited and could only be kept for a maximum of one day; he couldn't keep them even if he wanted to.

"Hmm, there's also this kind of thing."

Suddenly, Lin Xiao saw a certain item.

[Blank Barracks Blueprint]

After using this item, one can select a troop type already present in the territory to generate a corresponding barracks blueprint.

Many of a Lord's troop types are summoned randomly through military talismans, which makes replenishing them quite troublesome. Furthermore, lacking the bonuses from barracks technology, their strength is undoubtedly much weaker compared to troop types with barracks.

The Black Armor Soldierss and Dragon Cavalry in Lin Xiao's territory were exactly like this.

Of course, he could also choose to replace the troop types.

However, Lin Xiao was quite satisfied with these two troop types and had no intention of replacing them. With the Authority of Slaughter, their quality would not hold him back.

After all, they were the initial troop types that had made great contributions to the development of the territory. Moreover, replacing troop types would cause a series of problems such as a drop in military loyalty, so unless it was absolutely necessary, Lin Xiao would not do that.

[Blank Barracks Blueprint] came in many qualities.

Lin Xiao thought about it and purchased two Epic-Rank ones, each priced at 1,500 points.

Although Rare-Rank was the cheapest, he wouldn't let the quality of the Black Armor Soldierss and Dragon Cavalry stay at Rare-Rank. As for Perfect-Rank, by the time he built the two barracks, his territory Rank would be either 4 or 5, and by then, Perfect-Rank probably wouldn't be enough.

Therefore, Epic-Rank was the most suitable.

With the final 500 points, Lin Xiao purchased a Perfect-Rank special building blueprint, the tower of true sight.

Just by the name, one could tell that this special building was used for anti-stealth.

Territory anti-stealth was very important; otherwise, he wouldn't even know if enemies with stealth capabilities had infiltrated.

Closing the Points Mall, Lin Xiao exhaled a long breath.

The Seven-Day Assessment had come to a perfect conclusion.

He clicked on the Source of All Laws in his backpack and chose to use it.

The next moment, this World Wonder transformed into countless mysterious streams of light, merging into the territory. Lin Xiao keenly felt that the underlying rules of his territory seemed to have changed.

A brand-new rule was loaded into the territory.

Then, Lin Xiao discovered that the Spiritual Qi within his territory was being replaced by a special kind of energy, which was none other than the Chaos Source Qi, known as the Source of All Laws.

Once the conversion was complete, no matter what Cultivation Technique System it was, it would be able to grow rapidly within the territory.

"Oh right, there is also the title."

Recalling the previous System announcement, Lin Xiao hurriedly checked it.

[Eternal Lord]

[Type: Title]

[Automatically takes effect after activation. Your Rank and attributes will synchronize with the highest values of the living beings within the territory and will never regress. At the same time, you can also master all the skills of existing heroes and troop types.]

"This title..."

Lin Xiao widened his eyes.

He never expected that this unheard-of title would be so exaggerated.

It synchronized with the highest attributes and Rank of the living beings in the territory and would never regress; even if the corresponding hero or troop type died in battle, it would not affect him.

It also allowed him to master the skills possessed by his heroes and troop types.

This was simply too Heaven-Defying.

All along, Lin Xiao had been the weakest link in the territory.

It wasn't that he didn't want to Cultivate or invest resources in himself; it was just that the efficiency was too low, far inferior to investing in his heroes and troop types.

His idea was to find a suitable Cultivation Technique to improve his strength once he returned to the Main World.

After all, he couldn't really become the weakest and then get decapitated.

Now,

"Cultivate? Why bother Cultivating anymore?"

Once the title was activated, Lin Xiao instantly leaped to become the strongest in the territory.

"Activate, activate immediately."

As the title was activated, Lin Xiao immediately felt his life essence transforming. Unprecedentedly powerful energy filled his body, and his mind became clearer than ever before; he seemed to be able to sense the most subtle changes in the surrounding environment.

He impatiently opened his attribute panel.

[Lord: Lin Xiao]

[Rank: Rank 2]

[Physique: 6720]

[Spirit: 6510]

[Talent: Infinite]

[Authority: Authority of Slaughter]

[Cultivation Technique: Evergreen Art]

[Skills: Unmoving as a Mountain (A-Rank), Strength to Uproot Mountains (A-Rank)... Bravery Surpassing the Army (A-Rank), Unity of Man and Horse (A-Rank)...

Steel Rampart (C-Rank), Sword Mastery (D-Rank)... Heroic Fearlessness (C-Rank), Steel Heavy Cavalry (D-Rank)...]

[Title: Eternal Lord]

[Slaughter Points: 0]

Lin Xiao was stunned.

His Rank increased from Rank 1 to Rank 2, his attributes soared from a dozen to over six thousand in an instant, and then there was that string of skills...

He could feel that he was now outrageously strong; with one punch, he could kill thousands of his former self.

"Alright, now the weakest link in the territory is gone..."

[Congratulations, your Rank has increased to Rank 2. You are the first Lord to promote to Rank 2. Reward: 1 million Source Crystals, one Rare-Rank treasure chest.]

The System reward followed immediately.

Lin Xiao casually chose to open it and obtained a Rare-Rank longsword.

A moment later, Lin Xiao calmed his mood.

"Let's return to the Main World first."

The Seven-Day Assessment had ended, but a new journey lay ahead. Lin Xiao needed to make full use of external resources and assistance to gain more System rewards and grow rapidly.
