The Saint tier for the two troop buildings quickly concluded, with their levels both advancing to eight.
Following this, Xiao Mo unhesitatingly upgraded the [Natural Ancient Wood] once more.
Upgrading Natural Ancient Wood to level nine also cost one hundred million Immortal-Demon Stones and one million Soul Crystals. His reserve of energy stones and rare items was more than sufficient.
As for the [Immortal-Demon Symbiotic Pavilion] reaching level nine, that would have to wait for later.
After [Natural Ancient Wood] was upgraded to level nine, the Immortal-Demon Stones he had on hand were no longer enough to upgrade the [Immortal-Demon Symbiotic Pavilion].
Under Xiao Mo's watchful gaze, the Natural Ancient Wood was once again enveloped in a sky full of golden light.
As long as he could upgrade the Natural Ancient Wood to level nine before midnight, the Nature Wooden Men troop would be able to gestate according to the specifications of a level nine troop building tomorrow.
With this thought, Xiao Mo suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Mu Ya for a long time. He beckoned to Mu Chun Rou, the Great Priestess, who was standing nearby.
Mu Chun Rou had also long since entered the Saint tier and was now at the mid-Saint tier of strength, just one step away from her potential limit of peak Saint tier.
After reaching the Saint tier, Mu Chun Rou's figure became even more voluptuous.
Especially her large breasts, which were a sea of white, almost bursting the collar of her clothes.
"Lord!" Mu Chun Rou respectfully saluted Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo nodded and asked, "Have you seen where Mu Ya went?"
"Replying to my Lord, Mother has returned to her true form. She should be in seclusion to improve her strength!"
Hearing Mu Chun Rou's answer, Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback.
Mu Ya's true form was the Natural Ancient Wood.
As the [Natural Ancient Wood] upgraded, Mu Ya could also gain immense benefits.
This time, he had upgraded the [Natural Ancient Wood] from level six to level nine in one go, a jump of three levels. Clearly, Mu Ya's gains would be terrifying.
However, Mu Ya's strength should already be around the mid-Saint tier.
If the [Natural Ancient Wood] were to reach level nine, what level would Mu Ya's strength ascend to?
Could she directly break through to the God tier?
With this thought, Xiao Mo's heart stirred slightly. This was not an impossible scenario.
After all, Mu Ya was the spirit of the Natural Ancient Wood, and the [Natural Ancient Wood] about to reach level nine was its current top state.
In this light, the gains Mu Ya would receive would undoubtedly be immense, making it very possible for her strength to be pushed directly to the God tier.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo looked at the [Natural Ancient Wood] with anticipation in his eyes.
If Mu Ya's strength could directly ascend to the God tier, then he would possess two deities under his command.
With such power, what suspense would there be in the regional war?
Whether it was the Dark Forest, the Hundred Thousand Mountains, or any other region, they would all be swept away!
Even if he were to divide his territory's troop army into two routes, with one route commanded by Xian'er and the other by Mu Ya.
With this dual approach, his speed of conquering other regions would become even faster.
Therefore, Xiao Mo was now immensely looking forward to Mu Ya successfully advancing to the God tier.
...
After resolving the upgrade of the [Natural Ancient Wood], Xiao Mo prepared to upgrade his territory.
[Territory Upgrade Resources are Abundant. Do you wish to upgrade the territory immediately?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes!"
Xiao Mo chose "Yes" without hesitation.
In an instant, a sky full of golden light descended, enveloping the entire territory city.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo felt a surge of excitement.
As soon as he descended upon the Endless Continent, he had longed to establish his own kingdom and lead a powerful kingdom army to attack the imperial powers in the central regions of the Primordial Continent.
Now, he was finally close to achieving it.
As long as his territory was upgraded to [Main City], he could establish his kingdom.
And then, by integrating the Heart of the Kingdom, the Immortal-Demon Kingdom would be recognized by the rules of this world.
Only with the acknowledgment of this world's rules would his faction be qualified to contend for the supreme throne in the future.
As time passed.
Under the golden light, the territory city was rapidly expanding outwards.
Wherever it passed, countless ancient trees, bluestone, and even lakes and mountains all disappeared into thin air. Anything that blocked its path was instantly annihilated.
Everything transformed into flat ground paved with large bluestone slabs.
After an unknown period of time, the territory upgrade finally concluded.
Simultaneously.
A [World Announcement] appeared in the public channel.
[World Announcement]
[Congratulations to Lord Qian Mo for being the first to upgrade their territory to the Junior Main City level, once again ushering in a new era for territory factions!]
[From today onwards, territory factions will enter the era of kingdom dominance!]
[We hope that all lords will take the Immortal-Demon Territory as a goal, establish their own kingdom, and embark on the path of multi-racial supremacy as soon as possible to contend for the supreme throne!]
[Most importantly, the God War is imminent. We hope that all lords and lone travelers will develop their factions as quickly as possible!]
As soon as the world announcement was made, the [World Chat Channel] erupted.
Countless lords and lone travelers had been waiting for this moment!
As the strongest lord, the great Lord Qian Mo had never disappointed anyone.
[As expected of the great Lord Qian Mo, as steadfast as ever!]
[This should be the first Main City in terms of territory factions qualified to establish a kingdom!]
[It seems that some top lords upgraded their territory to Junior Small City and directly established a kingdom back then. However, such kingdom factions were very small, less than half the size of indigenous kingdoms!]
[Those kingdom factions are trash! Only the kingdom faction established by the great Lord Qian Mo deserves to be called a true kingdom!]
[The great Lord Qian Mo truly lives up to his reputation as someone's oppa. I love him so much!]
[Alas! It's truly enviable! My territory is still only a Middle Tribe, and I don't know when I'll even reach Small City, let alone a higher-level Main City!]
However, upon seeing the last sentence of the [World Announcement], everyone in the public channel suddenly felt a sense of dread.
[Damn it! What the hell is God War? Didn't it already pass?]
[Right! Why is there talk of God War again?]
[It is said that in ancient times, demons from another world invaded this plane. At that time, the God of Faith was killed and forced to leave this world. Later, the Primordial God rose in power and saved all the races of the continent, thus this world came under the rule of the Primordial God!]
[If that's the case, how can there be another God War?]
[How are we supposed to play this? With the God War approaching, we're all doomed!]
[Has this game directly entered a hell-level dungeon? What is the official doing?]
[If it is truly a God War, even the great Lord Qian Mo might not be spared!]
[Alas! What can be done about this...]
The atmosphere in the public channel instantly became grim and disheartening.
Even those top lords could not remain calm upon seeing the final content of the world announcement.
Within the territory factions, they were all incredibly powerful.
Without Xiao Mo's existence, they would be the ones standing at the pinnacle of territory factions, looking down upon countless lords and lone travelers from high above.
However, they were merely territory factions after all. Compared to the indigenous powers, their strength was insignificant.
If a God War were to truly descend, they would also have no way to escape.
After all, the protagonists of God War were deities. Even a mere low-tier deity could easily destroy their territory factions.
Therefore, at this moment, almost all territory factions in the world were in chaos...
