“25%, now I’ve probably obtained a quarter of the permissions from ‘Lord Era.’ At least I can infiltrate and observe Ordinary Level buildings, which makes things much easier.”

“I guess hardly anyone will participate now, after all, nearly all who could have participated are dead…” Qin Muye pondered for a moment. Whether it was the great families or sects, those who knew about Sky Tower and had the strength to get involved were mostly conscripted to the Baijing State battlefield and then reaped by Qin Muye in one fell swoop.

“Shadow, notify all units that a new protagonist has emerged. Pay attention and inform me immediately if there’s any news.” Qin Muye hastily issued the command. Although it was like finding a needle in a haystack, action must be taken; it was unlikely that a protagonist would just show up at his doorstep.

“It seems the protagonist is not unique, which now leads to a problem… where do I find the protagonist?”

“Maybe, wait a moment… my temporary Skill has reactivated!”

“If I really can’t find it, I might just have to stake out Sky Tower.” Qin Muye was certain that even the new protagonist had to go to Sky Tower.

“Although I burned a ton of Divine Artifacts, I made a killing.”

“It seems that Sky Tower is about to open soon…”

“If no one participates, wouldn’t that mean I get it cheap?”

“But where exactly is the existence of the eighth grade? Could it be in the Heroic Spirit Land?”

[You have obtained…]

[You have obtained Territory Traits: Returning Ruins Deep Sea]

[You have obtained Territory Traits: Phantom Dimension]

After all, if those ‘Spirit Clan’ members descend, the whole world would inevitably plunge into catastrophe, so safe places are definitely limited, with Sky Tower absolutely being one of them.

However, fortunately, the era itself comes with blessings.

But Qin Muye had already given up the idea of getting an SSS grade or higher Evaluation, because he never even considered achieving such a high Evaluation, nor was he able to.

Not only that, but prices have also been soaring so fast that they just can’t stop, the entire world taking on an air of doom.

Not only have I become stronger, but I also got a glimpse into the secrets at the core of ‘Lord Era.’

It wasn’t that he lacked the ability; with the support of various Spirit Monsters from the entire Endless Abyss, it was still relatively easy to achieve.

Aside from that, there were also those who thought of pledging allegiance to the ‘Spirit Clan,’ but unfortunately, once Qin Muye reached his goal, the ‘Spirit Clan’ would no longer appear because it was meaningless.

A multitude of Territory Traits constantly refreshed Qin Muye’s panel as blank Abyss Layers merged and unified, forming distinctive Abyss Kingdoms.

But the problem is the benefits are not equitable; Qin Muye prefers tangible rewards, experimental data, and substantial benefits compared to some rewards which are dispensable to him.

Of course, part of it was also reserved for breaking through the firewalls of Heroic Spirit Land.

It’s also likely that it could be sent to Shadow.

For Qin Muye, what he valued was not intending to study the effects of buildings, but the most fundamental things, such as why Resource buildings can produce Resources when people are allocated, how Troop buildings transform to give birth to Life Forms, or what the principle behind the Experience of Energy buildings is.

The Phantom Dimension, on the other hand, is an Abyss Layer formed by the Phantom Bow, and presently, Qin Muye has turned all Divine Artifacts into Territory Traits, creating a variety of brand new Abyss Layers; these all formed the foundation for Qin Muye’s future developments.

This was not only used for him to catch up with the prodigies, but it was also a means for him to achieve self-actualization.

In contrast, the real Spirit Tribulation was drawing closer.

Since they were insurmountable, might as well give up in despair.

Otherwise, what could he rely on to catch up with those prodigies with heaven-defying Talents? On a mere “Break it for me”?

One of the biggest benefits of the instance world is that no matter how long you stay in an instance, it’s only 24 hours when you go back. This might not be very valuable for other Lords, but Qin Muye could take his territory into the instance world, which turned into the biggest point of interest.

Engineering Profession Spirit Monster Heroes could design Building blueprints but were also incapable of understanding the principles behind these buildings.

Fortunately, with many people searching, they would eventually find what they were looking for.

The aftermath was truly fatal, as a massacre directly caused a decline in the nation’s overall power.

The incident of spirit monsters impersonating a Spirit Tribulation dealt a painful blow to everyone, as if all had fallen into an apocalyptic atmosphere.

It was like the Abyss Dragon Country, which, although established, likely needed a significant amount of time to develop its ecological environment for production.

It was possible that a hero from the spirit monsters with the relevant profession had predicted this event, but at most, they would have logged the observation and filed it away, never considering sending such information to Qin Muye.

Even Qingsong Village, where Qin Muye resided, had received the news and was in a state of panic.

The current progress was very good, and Qin Muye estimated that about seventy percent had been deciphered. With a bit more effort, success was within reach.

Even a Ninth Grade Spirit Summoner couldn’t trace the Sky Tower, naturally making it the best refuge.

Qin Muye never expected the situation to escalate to this level—he was neither a sociologist nor had he ever paid much attention to these affairs.

Qin Muye suddenly felt a bit of surprise; he didn’t expect the emergence of a new main character, which was also unforeseen to him.

Qin Muye had a rather optimistic thought; it was highly likely that not many people would participate, but it was impossible that no one would.

As Qin Muye pondered this matter, the entire world was in turmoil after the great defeat in Baijing State, even the Court was struggling to suppress the chaos.

Now, what Qin Muye needed to do was to seize control of this core so that even without the benefits of the “Lord Era” in the future, he could ensure a steady supply of buildings.

Many noble families were lost, and the Court’s military strength was also greatly diminished. Even if many of the three million were recently recruited or conscripts, at least a few hundred thousand were true soldiers of the Court. Although they weren’t veterans of a hundred battles, they were elite nonetheless.

The death of so many soldiers naturally led to a decrease in the Court’s control over the states, even in areas where it had previously shone brightly, now seeming as if its days were dwindling.

His development relied on instance worlds, and as for reaping benefits after achieving the SSS rank reward first, that was even less likely.

There were still many opportunists, such as those hiding within the Sky Tower.

Neither species nor plants could appear out of nowhere; they required long periods of development and cultivation.

For example, the Returning Ruins Deep Sea was an Abyss Layer that had been specialized by the Ocean Hat, a divine artifact, similar to the Abyss Dragon Country. It produced special water system troops such as Nagas and mer-people, and other aquatic life forms.

This was also a significant factor in advancing beyond an SSS rank evaluation.

There were others who continued to struggle, albeit not in great numbers.

Therefore, he quickly reallocated most of his energy and computing power from the Star Array, focusing it all on the research into territorial buildings.

The reason was simple, Qin Muye surmised that there was definitely a time limit involved, and with his current situation where years were the measure of time, it was impossible to meet the conditions.

After completing the task, Qin Muye increasingly felt the control over his territory, like the research into territorial buildings. Previously, due to insufficient permissions, he was kept out by the security system. But now things were different; ordinary level buildings had no defenses against him.

The losses involved more than just soldiers; there were also critical losses in economics, talents, and more.

This was good news.

These were the most basic yet most important aspects; if Qin Muye mastered them, he could completely tailor his own modifications.

This time the main character didn’t appear around him like Xiao Fan did; now, who knows which corner they had spawned in.

The core of the entire “Lord Era” were resource buildings and troop buildings; what else could it be? Heroes? Without resource and troop buildings, everything else was baseless.

Normally, if there was a public display of 7th grade, then there would be an 8th grade in secret. This was a hidden benefit derived from delving deeper into the world view, of course, hidden dangers were included as well.

But if it were an antagonist, they would only exploit the world’s resources during this period rather than saving the world; this was a great opportunity.

However, at the moment it was of no use, instead requiring Qin Muye’s support.

As for those who did not participate, even if they were aware of the situation, they likely wouldn’t join at such a critical moment.
