201: Chapter 201 Shocking the Entire Channel

On the small map, eight blue anchor cursors were evenly distributed along the edge of the territory.

"From now on, fine-tune it once a day to slowly control the drift trajectory."

Xu Qin nodded in satisfaction and closed the building interface.

...

One day later.

Beep!

The command panel popped up a golden prompt.

[Comprehensive upgrade of territorial basic buildings is complete!]

[Current building level of all sectors: Level 14!]

Xu Qin opened the panel, and the enhancement information began to refresh.

The Lords Hall had previously taken the lead in upgrading to Level 14, unlocking [Soul Energy Empowerment].

However, the upgrade of the eight major sectors from Level 13 to Level 14 had been queuing in the background.

Now they were all completed.

Xu Qin directly opened the upgrade interface of the Lords Hall.

Ding!

[The upgrade conditions for the Lords Hall (Level 15) have been met!]

[Upgrade requirements: 2 million wood, 1.5 million stone, 800,000 iron ore, 8 million soul energy, ...]

[Upgrade time required: 50 days]

Xu Qin opened the treasury.

Wood, stone, and iron ore were all sufficient.

Magic crystals and high-tier magic crystals were in surplus.

soul energy...

Eight million was nothing, mere pocket change.

[Upgrade]

All resources instantly poured into the Lords Hall.

[The Lords Hall is upgrading...]

[Remaining time: 49 days 23 hours 59 minutes]

Xu Qin directly opened the [soul energy Infusion] interface.

Maxed it out and confirmed.

[The single infusion limit has been reached (90% of the remaining upgrade time cannot be skipped)!]

[soul energy consumed for this infusion: 108,000,000]

[Current remaining upgrade time: 5 days]

"Fine, five days it is."

During this period,

the fusion of over two million iron-hoofed Bone Beasts was still ongoing,

and the Ore Spirits were also constantly spawning.

"I hope the next wave doesn't come too fast so I can rest for a bit."

Xu Qin looked at the time and calculated inwardly.

Just as he was about to head to the Combat Readiness Platform,

a red prompt suddenly popped up in the [star lord channel] at the top right of the command panel.

"Huh? Something else is up?"

Xu Qin hurriedly clicked to check.

Beep!

The light curtain unfolded.

Chat messages directly scrolled across the screen.

Xu Qin didn't rush to speak, instead scrolling up to check the contents.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: The tide has finally stopped.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: Everyone must have survived safely, right?

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Not bad, barely surviving.

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Colliding with three territories consecutively, troop losses reached forty percent.

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: I'm a bit better off than you, only hit two. But the second one belonged to a Level 3, almost flipped over.

Level 3 Star Lord Herman: I've advanced to Level 3.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: Oh? Congratulations.

Level 3 Star Lord Herman: Don't congratulate me. The price of this battle was too huge. Although I devoured two territories, my elite troops suffered over half losses. Although the area is large now, the military force has instead emptied out, and resource gathering efficiency can't keep up.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: That's the most disgusting part of the tide. Territory grows, but military strength can't keep up.

Xu Qin continued scrolling down.

The more he scrolled, the more shocking it became.

Several names that frequently bubbled up before had completely disappeared.

Talik was gone.

A Level 2 star lord named Dawen was also gone.

There were also two Level 1 star lords that Xu Qin hadn't paid much attention to, which had vanished from the list as well.

This indicated that their territories were either swallowed or reduced to vassals, losing star lord qualifications.

In this channel, there was no difference between the two.

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Who was Talik swallowed by?

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: I don't know. No star lord has come out to claim it.

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: Dawen too. It was crying for help in the channel earlier.

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: What help is there during the tide? It can only be said that its strength was insufficient.

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: Speaking of which, I wonder if that Xu Qin, who crushed a Level 3 head-on while at Level 1, is still around.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: Him? He probably isn't anymore. Once the tide came, although he was Tier 3, his military force was still at the scale of a Level 1 star lord, so there was basically no escape.

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Wait.

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Look at Xu Qin's name.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: ?

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: ...

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: His name is still lit up.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: No, that's not right. Look closer everyone.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: What level is written behind it?

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Four... Level 4?!

The channel instantly became lively.

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: Level 4 star lord?!

Level 3 Star Lord Herman: Did I read that wrong?

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: I just advanced to Level 3 a year ago myself. How long did it take him to go from Level 1 to Level 4?

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Counting that time before... half a month at most?

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: Jumping from Level 1 to Level 4 in half a month. What kind of monster is this?

Level 6 Star Lord Ryan: ...

Level 6 Star Lord Ryan: A bit interesting.

Level 7 Star Lord Olga: It took me three years to go from Level 1 to Level 4.

As soon as these words came out, many star lords discussed it even more lively.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: A Level 7 bigshot took three years, yet this guy took half a month.

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Scared, I don't want to discuss this topic anymore.

Level 3 Star Lord Herman: There must be an extremely strong core advantage behind him. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to be this fast.

Level 3 Star Lord Herman: On a conventional troop-flooding route, even the Zerg couldn't achieve this speed.

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: More than just a core advantage. He fought his way up all the way from an unrated new lord.

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: Being able to wipe out a Level 3 star lord like Zelga with a two-million insect swarm, this guy's troop restraint system is definitely top-notch.

After scrolling through the logs, Xu Qin gave a disdainful snort.

He typed out two words.

Level 4 Star Lord Xu Qin: Pure luck.

The channel instantly became lively again.

Level 2 Star Lord Solma: Oh, so you are here?!

Level 2 Star Lord Gelwin: Level 4... how did you level up so fast?

Level 3 Star Lord Herman: It's a star lord with an extremely high danger level!

Xu Qin ignored these and directly began asking the question he cared about more.

Level 4 Star Lord Xu Qin: Seniors, I was just looking at the chat logs. Is the Gravitational Tide about to end?

Level 3 Star Lord Herman: Although I'm not a senior, I can tell you yes. It's entering a stable period now, and we shouldn't encounter opponents for a short time, because... those we should have encountered have already been encountered ahead of time.

Level 4 Star Lord Xu Qin: Then besides the tides and void storms, what other disasters need to be guarded against?

As soon as this question came out, the channel instantly turned serious.

Level 3 Star Lord Valk: There are some, but the probability of those disasters is extremely low.
