107: Family Sub-Dimension

February, 3625.

With the Imperial flag fluttering atop the Peak of the Storm, the last organized resistance on the Azure Wolf Continent officially ended.

Sporadic mop-up operations were still ongoing, but they could no longer affect the overall situation.

The vast lands, the remaining Orc tribes, and the unique resources of this continent had all been incorporated into the Dawn Empire's territory.

However!

For Brian, military conquest was only the first step.

His true goal was far beyond that.

Inside the Mage Tower.

Brian and Spirit Eye were examining a holographic map of the Azure Wolf Continent, which clearly marked the key nodes for the upcoming 'temporary occupation'.

These nodes were spread across both continents, covering major energy Veins, geographical hubs, and important resource points.

"Master, all guardian nodes have been planned. As long as sufficient strength is maintained at these locations and the World Attraction Magic Formation located in the center of the former Taji Kingdom is activated, the condition of occupying more than 50% of the plane's territory can be met."

Spirit Eye reported the simulation results, her tone carrying a hint of relief from completing the task.

Brian nodded slightly, his gaze profound.

He recalled his choice in the Ice and Snow World; at that time, to maximize and rapidly enhance his family's strength, he opted for the full reward.

But times were different now.

His vision had broadened considerably.

"Spirit Eye, bring up the three reward methods for plane attraction."

Brian said softly.

This was more of a final confirmation than a consultation.

The holographic image immediately switched, clearly listing three options:

Reward Method One: Full Reward... (Obtain world baron title, full origin, and talent rewards)

Reward Method Two: Land Integration Reward... (Obtain 50% reward, half of the plane's land proportionally integrated into the main world's territory)

Reward Method Three: Sub-Plane Reward... (Obtain 10% reward, but can convert this plane into a sub-plane completely subordinate to oneself)

"Master, this time, you're choosing the third one, right?"

Spirit Eye tilted her head, her tone confident.

"That's right, it's the third one, the Sub-Plane Reward."

Brian's voice was steady, each word resounding clearly.

His gaze swept over the vast Azure Wolf Continent and the Dawn Continent on the map.

"A complete plane with its own ecological and civilizational cycle, its long-term value far exceeds a one-time talent boost. It will be our most stable rear base, our most authentic training ground, and an inexhaustible resource library and experimental field."

"Understood!"

Spirit Eye nodded vigorously, a knowing smile appearing on her face.

"Although the overt rewards will be greatly reduced... what we gain is a hen that lays golden eggs continuously, not eggs that are eaten all at once!"

"A very apt analogy."

Brian smiled, satisfied that Spirit Eye fully understood and agreed with his long-term strategy.

"Then, let's begin. Let's officially bring this golden hen into our coop."

"Spirit Eye, dispatch 300,000 basic intelligent robots to guard all regions and implement temporary occupation! Leave 100,000 to guard the plane's teleportation gate in the outpost city, and the rest will follow me and the Mage Tower to the world's core location!"

"Yes, Master!"

With the command given, the Empire's war machine once again operated efficiently.

300,000 basic intelligent robots, like precise chess pieces under Spirit Eye's command, flew to various key nodes across the two continents.

They descended upon ancient city squares, majestic mountain passes, and the centers of fertile plains, their powerful energy fluctuations brazenly unleashed, declaring the Empire's sovereignty over the land.

100,000 robots, meanwhile, formed an impenetrable steel defense line within the outpost city, ensuring the security of the passage connecting to the main world.

At the same time!

The massive 18-story Mage Tower once again ascended into the sky.

It transformed into a streak of light, flying directly towards the center of the former Taji Kingdom—the plain chosen as the deployment point for the World Attraction Magic Formation.

Upon arrival.

He looked around, selecting an area with the most level terrain and the most active geomatic energy.

At his will.

Various precious magic materials, already prepared, flew out of his spatial ring—stardust, spatial crystals, plane stabilization anchors... His spiritual power, like the finest carving knife, arranged the materials on the ground according to abstruse trajectories.

Each rune struck into the material caused a slight tremor in the surrounding space, and the light of magic began to flow and intertwine across the surface.

This was a giant Magic Formation far more complex than ordinary teleportation arrays, its patterns encompassing numerous fields such as space, attraction, contracts, and energy conversion.

Brian was fully focused, fine beads of sweat even seeping from his forehead, and vast magic power surged into the Magic Formation like floodwaters breaking a dam.

As the last core rune was activated.

The entire Magic Formation suddenly erupted into a dazzling pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth!

The light pillar shot straight into the sky, even dispersing the high-altitude clouds.

At the same time.

The energy fluctuations of the intelligent robots scattered across the world's nodes also seemed to be summoned, resonating with the light pillar!

The entire plane began to emit a deep hum, originating from the world origin!

The sky,

As if torn open by an invisible giant hand.

A cold, vast, emotionless giant eye slowly emerged.

Its gaze swept across the land, across the towering light pillar, and finally landed on Brian at the center of the Magic Formation.

The world will had cast its gaze!

Immediately after,

A strong sense of weightlessness enveloped Brian, and indeed, the entire plane!

This was a sign that hyper-spatial attraction had begun.

This attraction lasted for about a quarter of an hour, slightly longer than the Ice and Snow World, perhaps because this Gourd Plane was larger in volume.

The sense of weightlessness suddenly disappeared!

The plane attraction was successful!

The Gourd Plane had been successfully placed within a sub-spatial layer inside the Mage World.

The giant eye in the sky reappeared.

A clear and unmistakable thought entered Brian's mind, presenting him with three reward choices.

Without any hesitation, Brian, with his will as the core, communicated with the world will:

"I choose, the Sub-Plane Reward!"

As his choice was made, the vast power of the world will descended once more.

This time, it was not plunder, but the forging of a contract!

Brian could clearly feel it.

An incredibly close connection, like an arm to his body, had been established between him and the continent beneath his feet, and with this complete plane.

An absolute right of control was etched deep into his soul.

From now on!

This Gourd Plane would be his private sub-plane!

Brian thought,

It's time to give this plane a formal name!

Let's call it Morning Star!

Morning Star Sub-Plane?

A sub-plane is still a plane!

That doesn't sound good!

Let's just call it the Morning Star Plane!

The core of the sub-plane was completely bound to him!

It was also bound to his territory in the Mage World!

He could reopen the teleportation channel at any time.

Connecting the two sides.

At the same time!

The 'punishment' for choosing the sub-plane reward also followed:

world baron title: None.

world origin: 1 unit (reduced from 10 units to 1 unit).

Talent Reward: ... Just then,

The world will sent an inquiry to Brian.

world will: "Detected total contributors: 3 (Brian, Spirit Eye (can cultivate), Vera). Do you choose to convert the talent into 2 Third-grade Mage Talents?"

Brian thought, there's such a good thing?

No need to even think about it!

Definitely choose:

"Yes!"

As he made his choice, the rewards continued:

Third-grade Mage Talent * 2.

Cultivation and Breakthrough Blessings * 3.

Brian only chose the blessings, not the talents.

After he made his choice, Spirit Eye and Vera also received their rewards.

Brian looked at the rune key, representing the core control of the sub-plane,

Condensed by the world will.

His lips curved into a crescent shape.

A complete, immensely potential sub-plane!

This was the cornerstone of his family!

When the rewards were complete, the giant eye of the world will slowly dissipated.

At this point,

The rewards were complete!

The familiar sensation of dizziness returned, and space shifted.

The next moment.

Brian and his Mage Tower had returned to his main territory in the Mage World—that majestic military fortress.

Looking at the familiar scene before him,

Feeling the clear link in his soul to the Morning Star Plane,

Brian knew.

The second plane invasion had concluded perfectly!

He now possessed his first completely personal sub-plane!

Immediately, he placed the teleportation gate connecting the Morning Star Plane to the main world.

Behind the third city wall of the military fortress.

Beside the main road, occupying a portion of the zoo's space.

A small city was leveled out.

The teleportation gate was in the center of the city.

And the teleportation gate within the Morning Star Plane remained open in the outpost city.

He planned to transform the outpost city into the imperial capital.

"Spirit Eye."

"Here, Master!"

"According to the planned schedule, begin the resource survey and integration of the Morning Star Plane, and formulate preliminary development plans and management regulations."

Brian gazed at the teleportation gate to the Morning Star Plane.

"At the same time, initiate the detection and analysis of the next plane coordinates."

"Understood!" Spirit Eye responded energetically... End of this volume...
