Chapter 402: The Battle for Dominance of Area No. 10086 Begins!_2
But they belonged to the released Eight Million Ghosts and Gods, and aside from a few individuals, they didn't know they had already been subdued by Zi Liyuan, who had signed them into servitude contracts.
Ying Xueji and the others didn't announce this to the public and even issued a gag order to those who had accompanied them initially, forbidding any leaks.
Thus, these two Legendary Boss cards were temporarily kept hidden.
Of course, the cards Zi Liyuan hadn't revealed yet were numerous, such as the strength of the spaceship Xiao Guang.
For those Alien Lords planning to assassinate Zi Liyuan, the first one to make a move would inevitably suffer a significant loss.
"Yuer, how long do you estimate it will take to gather the materials needed to upgrade the Lord's Mansion to LV12?"
Zi Liyuan asked Fan Yuer about the current state of the territory while reviewing some message information.
"At the current rate of resource acquisition, we need five days. However..."
Fan Yuer mischievously blinked her beautiful eyes at a certain individual and made a throat-slitting gesture with her right hand on her neck.
She may not have finished her sentence, but Zi Liyuan immediately understood her meaning.
If he personally joined the slaughter, that period could be drastically reduced; perhaps they would only need two to three days to gather the necessary materials.
To level up quickly, Zi Liyuan could certainly pick up the butcher's knife himself and join the bloody feast.
But now he couldn't!
Looking at the messages that appeared after just upgrading the Lord's Mansion to LV11, Zi Liyuan had to temporarily suppress his desire for slaughter.
[Ding, Level 11 Lord detected in Area No. 10086 of New World No. 99, Authority Town of Area No. 10086 will materialize in 1 hour!]
[Ding, all Lords in Area No. 10086 are advised: whoever occupies Authority Town for 12 hours will acquire dominion over the area and incorporate it into their territory!]
[Ding, the occupying Lord of Area No. 10086 will have the right to evict other Lords in the territory and impose taxes!]
[Ding, after holding Authority Town for 24 hours, you will face the test of the Sea of Realms' Heavenly Dao and a siege by wild creatures in the area will erupt; all Lords will not be spared, and if Authority Town's heart is damaged, all Lords in the area will be forcibly reduced to Lord's Mansion LV1!]
Zi Liyuan found this information so irritating that he wanted to smash the Heavenly Dao of the Sea of Realms.
He must capture Authority Town, but this means facing a siege by wild creatures, requiring him to defend two places.
His own territory and Authority Town—that was quite a predicament.
At this stage, dividing his forces would be akin to halving his strength.
After a few seconds of silence, Zi Liyuan immediately began to make arrangements.
Firstly, he contacted the Spider Queen through the contract in his Spirit.
He had just sent the Spider Queen and Liu Yiqing to explore the Underworld dimension, and now he had to call them back.
Indeed, no plan survives first contact with the enemy.
To capture Authority Town, however, he had no choice but to summon them all back.
Even if none of the Lords in Area No. 10086 posed a threat to him, he still had to concentrate all his forces for this inevitable battle.
Zi Liyuan was absolutely certain that Alien Lords would come to cause trouble!
This time, he had to act with thunderous force, to quell these troublemakers!
Only by doing so could he buy more time to develop and avoid the constant harassment of his opponents.

Having seen other's outreach for alliance, Zi Liyuan just took a glance and remembered their Lord numbers.
These were all potential competitors. When it came to clearing out numerous Alien Lords and the overall situation had been determined, Zi Liyuan would ruthlessly eliminate them from the game.
For now, though, their help was still needed to clean up Alien Lords. After all, New World No. 99 encompassed a total of 20,000 areas, not to mention the dimensions of the Underworld.
There were at least several million Alien Lords; if left to him alone to clear out, it would take an impossibly long time.
Moreover, he didn't have so much time to spend on clearing, because once the Lord's Mansion was upgraded to LV30 and reached city level, it would directly initiate the battle for the ultimate Grand Lord position.
According to the progress of previous years, the final battle for the Grand Lord position would start in the third month.
But this time, with Zi Liyuan stirring trouble, the timeline could only be continuously compressed. Perhaps it would start in two months or two and a half months, to begin the final battle for the ownership of New World No. 99.
Now, Zi Liyuan's territory had already reached LV11, and at this moment, the number of Lords who had reached a LV10 Lord's Mansion had exceeded a hundred, advancing at least a day faster than in previous sessions.
This was all the butterfly effect brought by Zi Liyuan.
At the same time, this time's Alien Lords clearance battle was even more vicious and bloody, brimming with a murderous aura everywhere.
No matter whether it was Zi Liyuan, who after reaching a LV10 Lord's Mansion, immediately unleashed the Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion, beginning a sweeping purge and triggering a massacre.
Other Lords also raised their butcher's knives, especially targeting the Blue Star Human Lords. Anyone encountered was attacked relentlessly; if possible, kill them, and if not, at least destroy their Lord's Mansion and then drive the person away.
The threat posed by Zi Liyuan was too great, so all Blue Star Human Lords were treated as targets.
Of course, Ying Xueji, Liu Shengnan, Zhu Wu, and Li Fengwen also raised their butcher's knives against Alien Lords.
In fact, this time, the Blue Star Lords included many powerful ones with deep family backgrounds.

For example, the four great families trying to recruit Zi Liyuan, the Zhao Family, Yang Family, Yelü Family, and the Wan Yan Family.
The hereditary successors of the ancient perished dynasties had all made substantial investments this time, taking out their accumulated heritage, preparing for an all-out effort.
Of course, their appearance wasn't aimed at Zi Liyuan, but rather due to the four Ancient Empires among the Sea of Realms, which were going to purge the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty in the first layer of the Sea of Realms.
This was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
Even if they couldn't reinstate their nations, they could still become a major force in the first layer of the Sea of Realms, getting a share of the spoils in this purge!
In the eyes of those families with profound heritages, Zi Liyuan, as a newly rich upstart, had too shallow a foundation to compare with their ancient royal families with longstanding traditions.
In their view, Zi Liyuan was excellent, but practicing Cultivation Technique was an extremely tough challenge to crack!
Without high-level high-quality Cultivation Techniques, Zi Liyuan, as a Lord, wouldn't be able to break through tiers.
Even if he was strong now, owning an entire Fourth Tier Peak Specter Dragon Lord Boss Legion, he could at most encircle and slaughter Fifth Tier Epic Warriors. Attempting to challenge a Sixth Tier Legendary would almost be a suicidal act.
No one could have imagined that Zi Liyuan, relying on the protection of the Goddess of Luck as his wife, would directly receive a pseudo-divine level Cultivation Technique and, under the supplement of Rules of Death from a broken piece of Divinity, would create the most suitable divine level Cultivation Technique for himself.
With this divine level Cultivation Technique, as long as Zi Liyuan was not killed by the Evil God, the path to a rapid rise to power was clear and unobstructed!
This was a future Great Emperor of the Human Race!
And that time wouldn't be too far in the future—perhaps ten years, maybe twenty, but certainly not more than a hundred years!
Alien Lords were also eliminating the dissimilar, but in this round, the Blue Star Lords held the upper hand.
Zi Liyuan, Ying, Li, Liu, Zhu, Zhao, Yang, Yelü, and Wan Yan, at least eight Lords who rapidly broke through to a LV10 Lord's Mansion, had already occupied at least eight areas.
In the grand scheme of 20,000 areas, although small in number, they were a cut above the rest of the same planetary Alien Lords.
