Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor

[Territorial Essence: War fosters civilization, and destruction breeds vitality. No civilization can achieve vast territories, majestic landscapes, mild climates, abundant resources, a large population, and historical significance without undergoing war and expansion. Adding a Territorial Essence to the Territory Keystone grants a random reward from the above elements. Upgrading the town requires Territorial Essence 4/16]

This is the most critical aspect of the "Era of Civilization" war system. The Territory Base emits a faint light, with four Territorial Essences embedded within it. Four shining golden Ancient Runes glimmer on the base.

Lin Rui took a deep breath and embedded the Territorial Essence in his hand into the base once more.

Lin Rui exhaled deeply after inserting five Essences with his left hand and observed the excellent results: the Large Population Trait appeared three times, which is exactly what the territory urgently needed.

The area around the territory is now very safe, so even if three waves of refugees arrive, it won't be a big issue.

Furthermore, there are three armies in the surrounding area clearing out monsters, and if encountered, they will escort them back smoothly.

Therefore, Lin Rui did not stop or concern himself with them, continuing to add the remaining five Territorial Essences to the base.

[Ding, Territorial Essence added successfully. Civilization strengthened through integration, gaining the Historically Significant Trait. All buildings, resource points, and items in the territory will receive one cycle's worth of revenue.]

As the Historically Significant Trait was triggered twice in succession, Lin Rui's eyes shone with excitement — his luck was incredible!

Upgrading the town is no longer a problem, but this also brings some complications.

[Lucky Coin: Sand Washing] immediately flew into the air. The blue-golden coin spun rapidly, spraying red light in all directions. Among the fourteen beams of light, Lin Rui personally saw three beams that were so red they appeared purple.

The next moment, the terrifying roars and howls of monsters echoed within the territory.

Lei, in a fit of rage, stormed out of the manor and rushed into the administrative hall, standing before Lin Rui.

Her fiery body was barely covered in her disheveled clothes, and her temperament was just as explosive as her figure. She cursed, "I really feel like killing you bunch of dog men!!"

"You didn't tell me before I came to the territory that this was a Flame Demon nest! I just broke free from all the restraints and jumped into bed. A Flame Demon appeared next to me and almost crawled into my bed!"

"Even though I'm battle-hungry, I never considered adapting to Flame Demons! And there are three of them? Are you trying to kill me off? I'm done! Just kill me now and get it over with. At least I won't have to worry about being killed by a horde of Flame Demons later."

Lin Rui's Golden Balance of the Devil was already floating before him, and he had no time to deal with her. He casually tossed her 500 Spirit Crystal Coins and said, "You go handle them."

Lei, still fuming, shouted, "I really can't stand you! Is that even reasonable? Those are Tier Six Flame Demons! Just facing one would cost me half my life. And you're giving me 500 Spirit Crystal Coins to deal with three Flame Demons?"

Lin Rui continued to manage the Golden Balance without looking her way, responding indifferently, "Under Commander Wutong's leadership, your Life Value and Magic Strength are practically doubled. You have maxed out Divine Damage, True Damage, and Soul Damage, along with near Heroic-level Damage Reduction. This is your best opportunity to kill a formidable enemy and enhance your power. You must act quickly. I can assure you that Su Ye is rapidly returning here; he's Tier Four Epic-level. With Commander Wutong's support, taking down a Tier Six Demon won't be too challenging. If you're late, he'll have already taken care of them."

Lei's aggressive demeanor faltered, and she put her hands down from her waist, scooping up the Spirit Crystal Coins that had fallen in the cleavage of her chest. With sultry lips, she blew Lin Rui a fiery kiss, saying, "Lord, when I said I wanted to 'kill' you, I meant the way you like."

Lin Rui raised his right hand, launching ten Ice Needles toward Lei's tender body. Unlike the Knights, Lei didn't have a strong will, and immediately clutched her waist and belly, crying out, "You horrible men and your twisted games — I can't deal with it, I can't deal with it, I'm out of here!"
