On the fifth day, Yun Yi City's player capacity of 8448 was completely filled, awaiting Ye Yun's Cloud Heaven City to advance in star level!
In the past few days, Cloud Heaven City had welcomed quite a few new faces. In addition to the original hundreds of subordinates, another 36 people were added to Cloud Heaven City. These individuals used contribution points to exchange for entry slots into the main city!
Yue Di brought back news that the Jin Yi clan had arrived at their predetermined destination and had established their second sub-city outside of Yun Yi City! It was named Yun Er City!
Furthermore, all the buildings in this city had been upgraded to level ten.
Jin Tian, that fellow, was quite clever. Traveling from Cloud Heaven City to his destination, he managed to assemble a team of over six hundred people before arriving. These people joined immediately after Jin Tian's Yun Er City was established, becoming its first batch of citizens.
This group was partly awed by the Jin Yi clan's formidable strength, but the vast majority were drawn by the reputation of Cloud Heaven City. Their objective was simple: to become citizens of Cloud Heaven City!
"Master, look, Jin Yi's city has been established, and he's applied for a teleportation array multiple times," Yue Di said subserviently from below.
"Fine," Ye Yun replied listlessly.
Did he not know Jin Tian had applied for a teleportation array several times? It was simply because he had no money! The previous twenty-three million spirit stones were all converted into attribute points for Ye Yun. Moreover, his recent acquisition of herbs for辟谷丹 (Bigu Dan - a type of pill for sustenance) had been rather aggressive. Ye Yun's spirit stone count was simply insufficient to construct a teleportation array.
"System prompt: The player has chosen to activate the teleportation array between Cloud Heaven City and its sub-city 'Yun Er City', consuming 5 million spirit stones. The player has insufficient spirit stones. Detected sufficient divine stones on the player. Do you wish to proceed by exchanging divine stones at equivalent value?"
"Activate!"
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for activating the teleportation array between the main city and the second sub-city, consuming 50 divine stones."
Ye Yun looked at his remaining 999950 divine stones and his mood instantly soured. This was using his retirement fund!
Divine stones and spirit stones were entirely different entities. Divine stones were a unique product of the God Realm. As of current players, apart from Ye Yun, no other player had ventured into this domain! There were not only ten great God Cities in the Tenth Universe, but other universes also possessed them!
It was just that to reach this level, the player's strict requirement was to reach level 100 or above! Currently, in the entire Ten Directions Universe, the highest-level player had barely reached level 98, and that was only recently.
"Yue Di, go to Yun Er City. Remember, tell Jin Tian to fill it with people as quickly as possible! A new cycle is about to begin, and these are all spirit stones!" This time, Ye Yun did not personally go to Yun Er City.
A new cycle was about to arrive, and more importantly, a new natural month was coming. Ye Yun could reset the coverage range of his 'Fire Refines the World' skill.
For this setting, Ye Yun was brimming with confidence. With his massive attribute value, even if he covered the entire New Mortal Continent, it would only be a drop in the bucket with Ye Yun's current true qi.
This time, Ye Yun directly extended the skill's coverage range to fifty million yards, which was a radius of fifty thousand kilometers. However, on the New Mortal Continent, this translated to a radius of five million kilometers!
With Ye Yun's current skill, all surface creatures on the entire New Mortal Continent would perish under his attack.
"From now on, this world will be under my control! Endless wealth will flow from my fingertips, bestowed upon the myriad races of the universe on this continent!"
Ye Yun walked out of the mansion, ascended the city walls, and gazed at the boundless territory below as if it were a naked beauty.
"City Lord!"
On the city walls, the Ten Great City Guards were stationed at their respective positions. Upon seeing Ye Yun ascend, they all bowed in greeting.
"Hmm."
The growth of the City Guards was far easier compared to players. As long as they achieved first place on the territory leaderboard, the attribute point bonuses they received were even more terrifying than those of the players!
The Ten Great City Guards were all ranged class professionals, five specializing in physical attacks and five in magical attacks. Ye Yun had initially considered adding a support-class City Guard, but later decided against it.
He would leave such matters for Zhou Ningdong and the others to handle in the future. Ye Yun's plan was to focus on cultivating ten powerful and terrifying guards before Zhou Ningdong and the others arrived on the New Mortal Continent, to serve as their backbone then.
"System prompt: Player Le Mi has joined Yun Er City."
"System prompt: Player Le Tian has joined Yun Er City."
...
Suddenly, Ye Yun received a large number of system prompts. In just a moment, Ye Yun was astonished to find that Yun Er City's player capacity was nearing saturation!
"Player nicknames starting with 'Le', a total of 4280 people. Is this the entire clan joining Yun Er City?"
With so many people joining at once, and all from the same clan, this situation could easily lead to them overshadowing the host. However, Ye Yun didn't care. Overtake the host? They would need the strength to do so!
Days turned into weeks, and Ye Yun's attribute points grew more terrifying under the nourishment of the Heavenly Pot and Earth Cup! According to Ye Yun's own estimation, even an existence like Yao Die would need at least ten years or more to match him!
After all, Yao Die's current talent was still stuck at...
Three consecutive duplicate announcements exploded in Cloud Heaven City and its two sub-cities, instantly eliciting gasps of surprise.
Even all the residents of Feng Le City simultaneously received the same news alerts.
New Mortal Continent -
"Holy crap, the City Lord is indeed the City Lord! To have reached the realm of a main god within the Heavenly Dao! What kind of powerful existence must he be in reality?"
"Powerful? Heh, main god at the very least!"
"You're spouting nonsense. Without comparable strength at the same level, how could he possibly gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao? I think the City Lord's real-world strength is at least at the Extreme Rank." A person currently in Yun Er City said with a solemn expression.
"How is that possible?" Hearing the old man's words, the eyes of all the players around were filled with shock.
The Extreme Rank was only one step away from the Emperor Sovereign realm. In a universe, this level of strength was almost that of an absolute overlord. There wouldn't be more than ten people in a universe with this kind of power!
Bigwigs of this caliber were almost like transparent figures within the 'Heavenly Dao'. It wasn't that their strength was inferior, but rather that they were very low-key and most of them focused on nurturing their descendants. And the old ancestor before them was a prime example.
"Forget it, who cares. Old Ancestor, after tomorrow, should I go to the main city to pay respects to the main god statue?" A shooter player wearing a tight leather jacket, standing beside the old man, said with clasped fists. He was the holy son of their entire clan, only twenty years old, but his strength was already close to the Great Saint realm!
"Go!"
Seeing that the old man closed his eyes after speaking, everyone around them silently withdrew.
Although one could gain ten to fifty attribute points for free daily, they held little market value on the New Mortal Continent. After all, one spirit stone here was equivalent to tens of billions of common currency, nearly a hundred thousand attribute points.
However, it caused an uproar in Feng Le City. Once the online players in the city knew, it instantly triggered a riot. The National Defense Heavenly Dao Department also contacted Zhou Ningdong immediately.
