151: The territory was too big, and people were watching
Time passed.
Han Lie did not move from his spot. It wasn't that he couldn't comprehend the rules of this small patch of dense forest; it was more like his entire territory seemed to be one complete Great Dao of the Physical Body.
He seemed to have a sudden realization.
Once he fully comprehended everything, he felt he would gain an extraordinary ability.
.....................
A few days later,
Many among the Ten Thousand Races gradually opened their eyes. It wasn't that they had comprehended anything profound; there was certainly a small increase in their physical abilities. However, the reason they opened their eyes so quickly was that their territories were too small.
"Not enough... Nowhere near enough!"
The current Great Dao of the Physical Body was undoubtedly a grand feast for their deprived bodies, but their current status and position only entitled them to a small appetizer. Not only did this not sate their hunger, but it also whetted their appet appetites.
"Kill!"
Conflict began.
The Ten Thousand Races fell into chaos once more. Slaughter was ingrained in their bones, but the battle had changed. Due to the restriction of the rules, only the path of the physical body could be used in this world.
Therefore, those among the Ten Thousand Races who already had achievements in the physical body flourished here, their strength soaring by an unknown number of levels.
Consequently,
Those peculiar races who had previously gained large territories on the first floor of the Town Boundary Tower by relying on various messy attack methods, now found themselves with no advantage, as offense and defense had switched.
It is said that conquering a territory is easy, but defending it is difficult.
For instance, the Dark Night Race, when they were above, used their invisibility skill to ambush countless members of the Universe of Myriad Races, gaining an astonishingly large territory—at least for him, it was more than he could comprehend in a short time.
However,
In this place where only the path of the physical body could be used, he, a member of the Dark Night Clan, was actually slain by an ordinary Demon Race member.
But that bold Demon Race member, whose territory was originally only the size of a fingernail, proved that the bold thrive while the timid starve. With this, he gained a territory a hundred times its original size.
Many similar incidents occurred.
Thus, the entire region fell into disarray.
It is worth mentioning that the originally weak Human Race suddenly rose to prominence. Although their attack methods were unremarkable, their cultivation methods imitated the strongest physical body races in the Universe, such aspile and Breathing Method. Therefore, the Human Race's physical bodies were not considered weak in the entire Universe.
Of course, they weren't particularly strong either.
However, they already stuck together for warmth, and with the help of the rules, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
Ever since they discovered that those peculiar races couldn't use their innate skills, they all grinned. The way they were hunted down by others above, they now hunted them back.
It is worth noting that,
After comprehending her territory, Liu Ruyan also learned this news immediately. So she promptly returned to the Human Race and, relying on her understanding, beauty, and strength, regained leadership authority.
Thus, she began to lead the Human Race.
They specifically picked on the weak.
It is worth mentioning that in her route planning, she avoided the other side of the river where Han Lie was located, and even implicitly chose a protective approach.
It wasn't deliberate.
It was merely done out of convenience, a perk of her position.

"It's both a reward and a punishment..."
Old Zhang commented, "In the past, rewards were spoon-fed. Only this year is special; after occupying territory, they still have to defend it. These Celestial Pride are too difficult, but hahahahahaha, it's a good thing..."
He burst into laughter.
He showed a remarkable speed of changing his expression.
Isn't it a good thing?
According to common sense, their children should have been out of luck with these benefits, but unexpectedly, after killing others here, they still gained their territories. Moreover, this place restricted the path of the physical body. Originally, their Human Race was a versatile but disadvantaged group, but now offense and defense had switched, and they were playing a game of 'Tian Ji's Horse Racing' with others.
Using their strengths against others' weaknesses.
It couldn't be more satisfying.
"It's just..."
Jijiang frowned slightly. She didn't care about the whole world; she only cared about Han Lie.
"Other Humans have benefited, and because Han Lie was so aggressive in seizing territory above, there's almost no one around him. But if this continues, someone will sooner or later set their sights on his territory. What should we do?"
"!!!"
Old Zhang's smile froze upon hearing this. "That's right, Han Lie is indeed talented in the physical body, but compared to those in the Universe of Myriad Races who specialize in the physical body, he probably doesn't have much of an advantage. Without sword intent or phenomena, can he really still crush the Universe of Myriad Races? What if someone targets him, with such a large territory!!!"
"That would be terrible!!!"
Hearing this,
All Blue Star people became worried.
"!!!"
"It's over. An innocent man is guilty because of his treasure. Han Lie's territory is too vast!! If I were one of the other Ten Thousand Races, I'd definitely give it a shot!"
"That's right, in the past two days, I've seen races skilled in the physical body path directly climb a realm in strength, and with the restriction of the rules, they've turned the tables. They used to be nobodies, but now they're among the top!"
"What kind of ridiculous rules are these?"
"Damn it, I thought it was a good thing!"
The Human Race side was filled with pessimistic voices.
The Ten Thousand Races side was even more dramatic. If their own race benefited, they would loudly praise the Town Boundary Tower as wise. If their own race fell from grace, they would curse the Town Boundary Tower as a bastard.
Emotions ran high, and positions were unclear.
But, one thing was certain—
Facing Han Lie,
They all greatly hoped that some daring faction would test Han Lie's mettle, preferably pulling him down from his pedestal. They were eager to see such a spectacle.
Indeed, nothing could be more dramatic than a Celestial Pride of the Human Race achieving the number one spot in the entire Universe through his own efforts, and then, on the reward platform, being killed by an ordinary member of the Ten Thousand Races due to a heaven-defying mechanism.
"!!!"
What they feared came to pass.
What they hoped for came to pass.
That day, a group of people targeted Han Lie.
Upon closer inspection, they were all from different races: the Mechanical Race, the God-Demon Clan, the Demon Race, fierce beasts, the Feathered Race, the Dark Night Race...
There were many of them.
Around dozens.
Clearly, self-interest had bound them together.
"Is that Human's territory ahead?" someone asked.
"Yes!"
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely certain!!!"
"Should we reconsider?!"
"Reconsider what? Let's do it!! This place only restricts the path of the physical body, he has no advantage whatsoever!"

Meanwhile, on Han Lie's side,
A voice suddenly echoed in his ears—
