As the territory upgrade concluded.
The upgrade of the [Natural Ancient Wood] also came to an end.
The Natural Ancient Wood now soared to nearly six hundred meters in height, with lush branches and leaves, truly resembling a colossal ancient tree.
All the Natural Woodmen soldiers sat around the Natural Ancient Wood, cultivating beneath it.
After upgrading to level nine, the Natural Ancient Wood generated a terrifying amount of natural spiritual energy, almost on par with the immortal and demonic spiritual energy within the territory's city.
For these Natural Woodmen soldiers, this natural spiritual energy was incredibly beneficial.
It could significantly accelerate their cultivation speed.
In other words, even without hunting and battling, they could rapidly enhance their strength.
Of course, this was merely routine cultivation.
For all territorial forces, the fastest way to rapidly improve soldier strength remained defeating enemies and obtaining vast amounts of spiritual energy.
No other method could boost strength faster than killing enemies to gain spiritual power.
Following this, Xiao Mo's gaze shifted to the Natural Ancient Wood.
[Natural Ancient Wood: Top-tier Soldier Building]
[Faction: Justice, Benevolence, Order]
[Current Level: Nine]
[Level Nine Natural Ancient Wood can birth 768 Natural Woodmen daily]
[Upgrade Requirements: Unknown]
[PS: Level Nine Soldier Building Natural Ancient Wood has a high chance of birthing Ancient Woodmen and Special Woodmen, and other soldier types!]
...
After reviewing this information, Xiao Mo nodded with satisfaction.
Just the Natural Ancient Wood alone could birth seven hundred and sixty-eight Natural Woodmen daily, with a significant chance of producing Ancient Woodmen and Special Woodmen.
This quantity was, to be honest, truly astonishing.
Within a single day, a small Natural Woodmen legion could be assembled.
The level nine [Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool] could only reincarnate just over five hundred Immortal and Demon soldiers per day.
This was the "official" rule for soldier summoning.
For soldier buildings of the same level, the higher the potential for soldier growth and the stronger the soldiers, the fewer could be summoned daily.
Therefore, Xiao Mo was now quite certain that once the [Immortal and Demon Symbiotic Pavilion] was upgraded to level nine, the number of soldiers summoned daily would surely exceed one thousand.
This meant an Immortal and Demon Symbiotic Bloodline Soldier Legion every day.
Currently, the [Immortal and Demon Symbiotic Pavilion] had reached level eight, appearing even more majestic and magnificent.
The requirement to reach level nine remained one hundred million Immortal and Demon Stones and one hundred Soul Crystals.
The reserve of Soul Crystals was currently quite ample, but the number of Immortal and Demon Stones was insufficient.
To upgrade the [Immortal and Demon Symbiotic Pavilion] to level nine, further development was still needed.
However, the shortfall did not seem to be too significant. As long as another ten million Immortal and Demon Stones could be acquired, the [Immortal and Demon Symbiotic Pavilion] would smoothly ascend to level nine.
It could be said that the immense gains this time were entirely attributed to these two large-scale wars.
Most significantly, it was from the lords who had fled.
Without their generous contributions, it would have been difficult to upgrade the territory's soldier buildings to level eight, let alone having two directly reach level nine.
Therefore, Xiao Mo felt quite content at heart.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo stopped dwelling on soldier buildings and quietly awaited the completion of the territory upgrade.
As time trickled by.
The golden light enveloping the territory gradually began to dissipate.
When the golden light completely vanished, the main palace, now transformed into a grand and magnificent structure, appeared before Xiao Mo.
The entire palace was adorned with intricate carvings of dragons and phoenixes, befitting a royal palace hall.
As the territory's level upgraded to [Intermediate Main City], the territory's edible area expanded once more.
Concurrently, the defensive power of the Territory Heart directly increased thirtyfold.
However, Xiao Mo had no intention of stopping there.
He opened the control panel again and directly intended to upgrade the territory to [Advanced Main City].
Xiao Mo felt no concern for these resources, as he was currently exceedingly wealthy.
Xiao Mo even suspected that even an imperial power might not be much different.
Of course, this referred to weaker imperial powers.
Those major imperial powers possessed vast territories and inexhaustible resources of all kinds.
Thus, the current Immortal and Demon territory was still quite weak compared to those imperial powers.
However, the current amount of resources was more than sufficient to upgrade the territory to the main city level.
Therefore, Xiao Mo unhesitatingly chose to upgrade immediately.
Watching the golden light engulf the entire territory once more, Xiao Mo's mind wandered.
Upon seeing the mountains, trees, lakes, and other features all disappear, Xiao Mo finally voiced his confusion.
"Do these disappearing things simply vanish from this world?"
Soon, Xiao Mo received a response from the system prompt in his mind.
"During the territory upgrade process, all passively disappearing elements are randomly teleported to other regions of this world!"
Hearing the voice in his mind, Xiao Mo's lips twitched involuntarily.
He suddenly felt a sense of loss amounting to hundreds of millions.
This was because he had been unaware of these matters previously.
Had he known, he would have cleared out all the indigenous forces and magical beasts in the Endless Abyss region, which would have yielded a considerable amount of resources.
Now, due to the territory upgrade, these things had been directly transferred to other areas.
This was truly painful for Xiao Mo.
After all, originally, everything in the Endless Abyss should have belonged to him.
Most importantly, the Immortal and Demon territory was still undergoing an upgrade, and its sphere of influence was continuing to expand outward.
Xiao Mo felt that upon the successful upgrade to [Advanced Main City], the entire Endless Abyss region might cease to exist.
This was because the entire Endless Abyss would become the territory of the Immortal and Demon territory, or rather, the Immortal and Demon Kingdom.
After all, even as an [Intermediate Main City], the territory's city area had already spanned over a thousand kilometers.
Upon upgrading to advanced, the area might even double.
However, the entire Endless Abyss might not even be this vast.
If the kingdom's sphere of influence could truly reach four thousand kilometers, it might even encroach upon other regions.
As to which region, it was currently unclear, but the entire Endless Abyss certainly wasn't this large.
Moreover, the original location of the Immortal and Demon territory was not at the absolute center of the Endless Abyss.
It was already close to the Dark Forest and the Far North Ice Plains, so it was highly probable that the Immortal and Demon Kingdom's territory would occupy a significant portion of these two regions.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile.
In that case, launching regional wars in the future would become particularly convenient.
Since his kingdom's territory was already in that region, this wouldn't be considered an invasion of another region.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo stopped overthinking and quietly waited for the territory upgrade to conclude.
However, what Xiao Mo did not know was that his territory upgrade had directly reignited the [World Chat Channel]...
