264: H City defies fate and changes destiny. Genius lords from all over the country, come and gather!

After he finished with General Li, the leader’s tone softened again.

“Of course, I can understand everyone’s feelings. It’s only human nature for you all to be envious of the immense benefits H City has gained.”

Everyone’s hearts trembled, knowing the main topic was coming.

“The Luck belongs to H City, but even more so, it belongs to our entire Dragon Nation.”

“This Opportunity cannot be wasted, nor can it be monopolized by H City alone.”

He Yongping’s mood became tense.

“My idea is, instead of thinking about how to divide the cake, let’s think about how to make the cake bigger.”

“Regarding the rewards for Mr. Mo Yan. The Azure Group shall immediately draft a reward list. He can choose fifty thousand units of any resources below legendary quality from the national treasury!”

“For legendary quality, he can choose fifty units! We want to let Mr. Mo Yan, and everyone watching us, know that our Dragon Nation will never mistreat any meritorious official!”

The Mayor of S City gasped, these were all the Dragon Nation’s most prized treasures!

The leader’s gaze turned to He Yongping, “H City, from this day forward, is designated as the ‘Dragon Nation Lord’s Special Development Zone’.”

“He Yongping, I’m giving you a task: in the southern suburbs of H City, near Mr. Mo’s territory, demarcate an area.”

“I want you to build this area into a Holy Land for all young Lords of our Dragon Nation!”

“A Holy Land?” He Yongping was startled.

“That’s right.” The leader nodded, “We cannot place all our hopes on Mr. Mo Yan alone.”

“We must utilize H City’s Luck blessing to cultivate more Mo Yans!”

“I order that all major war zones and major cities immediately screen out the most promising and virtuous young Lords within your jurisdictions.”

“Migrate them, along with their territory cores, entirely to H City!”

“We will give them the best resources, the best policies, allowing them to fully develop and grow in H City, this blessed land!”

“Let them observe how truly top-tier Lords operate their territories, with Mr. Mo Yan as their role model!”

Upon this decision, the entire hall was astonished!

This move was too grand!

This was to use H City as a furnace, and the Genius Lords of the entire nation as fuel, to refine a Heaven-Defying grand pill concerning the future of the Dragon Nation!

The heads of various major cities, who had been displeased earlier, now showed expressions of ecstasy.

Their Genius Lords being able to develop in H City meant indirectly receiving the Luck blessing, which was far better than receiving a few resources!

He Yongping was even trembling with excitement; he could already foresee what a scene of dazzling stars H City would become in the future!

Only General Li sat slumped in his chair, his face ashen.

He knew he had completely lost.

This move by the leader not only marginalized him but also bound everyone’s interests together, forming an unbreakable community of interests centered on H City and with Mo Yan as its banner.

“This matter is settled.” The leader made the final decision, “The Azure Group is responsible for the specific execution. Meeting adjourned.”

Light flickered, and figures disappeared one by one.

In the meeting room, only He Yongping’s excited gasps and Zhang Chen’s frighteningly bright eyes remained.

…

Inside the Imperial Palace of the Howling Wasteland.

Mo Yan did not know what kind of monstrous waves had been stirred up in the outside world because of his dungeon clear.

“Hint: The dungeon “Howling Wasteland” is about to close. Teleportation countdown: 10, 9, 8…”

When the cold System prompt sounded in his mind, Mo Yan was bidding farewell to Queen Idora.

“Alliance Leader, the gates of the Diens Empire are always open for you.” Idora, in her queen’s everyday attire, solemnly promised Mo Yan, “Whenever you need, my legions will obey your command.”

“Develop well.” Mo Yan nodded, looking at the Queen Lord he had personally supported, “Don’t forget, you are now a member of my Cangming Alliance. There will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future.”

As soon as his voice fell, a complex teleportation Formation appeared under his feet. With a flash of light, he, along with the Soldiers, Gun Gun, and Bai Lingyue he had brought into the dungeon, vanished from the spot.

The next second, a slight sense of weightlessness came, and the scenery before his eyes rapidly changed.

When he stood on solid ground again, he was back at the original dungeon entrance.

Mo Yan opened his eyes. Before him was the familiar biting cold of H City’s southern suburbs on Blue Star.

He had returned.

Gun Gun curiously sniffed the air, seemingly confirming if this was its home.

Bai Lingyue stood beside Mo Yan, feeling the flow of Spiritual Qi within her body. Although she had consumed a great deal in the dungeon, now back in the main world, the speed at which Spiritual Qi entered her body was much faster.

She glanced behind her; the army’s Formation was perfectly in order, only missing over a hundred familiar faces.

“Let’s return to the city first.” Mo Yan’s gaze had already turned towards the distant, majestic territory, faintly visible in the wind and snow.

Cangming City.

Even from a distance, he could feel the coordinates of his territory.

His own territory, in the short seven days (about 17 hours in the outside world) he had been away, had not only avoided damage during the beast tide but had become even stronger.

When the army reached the city gate, Wang Wu, Zhang Hu, Uncle Qin, and Lu Mingyuan, who had been waiting there, immediately came to greet them.

“Lord, you’re back!” Zhang Hu couldn’t hide his excitement, but more so, a sense of relief.

“What are the casualties? Is the territory’s loss significant?” Mo Yan asked as he walked into the city.

“Reporting, Lord,” Zhang Hu followed behind, handing over a list and reporting the situation, “Although the rat tide was large, due to the Formation Commander Bai had set up in advance, coupled with the support of the Immortal Master Group, our casualties were very small. Only over thirty guards suffered minor injuries, with no fatalities.”

“The farmlands outside the territory suffered some damage, but it was all within controllable limits.”

“Chen Beixuan also comprehended the Dao through battle in this fight, and his Sword Intent advanced another level.”

Mo Yan looked at Chen Beixuan with approval.

Not bad, while he was fighting outside, the talents in his territory were not idle either.

This feeling of mutual growth was what a strong territory should be like.

Returning to the Lord’s Manor, Mo Yan showed no intention of resting. He immediately ordered Zhang Hu: “Pass down the order, all participating personnel shall have their resource allocation doubled this month.”

“Yes, Lord!” Zhang Hu took the order and left.

“Uncle Qin, you and Manager Lu wait for me in the council hall first. I’ll come find you shortly.”

“Yes, Lord!” Uncle Qin and Lu Mingyuan stopped, watching Mo Yan leave.

After handling these matters, Mo Yan finally had time to settle his biggest gain from this trip.

He brought Bai Lingyue and Gun Gun to an open space specially designated behind the Lord’s Manor.

“Today, I’ll show you something good.”

With a thought, Mo Yan took out the architectural blueprint, shimmering with a soft white light, from his Talent Space.

“Do you wish to construct the special building: Moonlight Spiritual Pool here?”

“Construct!”

As he confirmed his intention, the ground began to tremble slightly.

A spring eye, built from moon-white jade, appeared out of thin air before them.

The spring water was crystal clear, emitting a faint glow, and a gentle aura spread out from the spring eye like ripples.

Just standing within the range of this aura, Bai Lingyue felt her consumed Spiritual Qi recovering at a speed far exceeding normal.

Gun Gun was even more direct, curiously approaching and sticking its bear paw into the water, splashing water everywhere.

A majestic vitality surged into its body along its paw, making it comfortably narrow its eyes. It sat by the spring, hugging its feet, looking utterly content and enjoying itself.

“What a magical spring…” Bai Lingyue’s beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder.
