Chapter 27

A familiar red light flashed, and a solemn building appeared in the open space.

The building had only one floor and was entirely gray-black. Many pillars with strange patterns carved on them supported the ceiling of the temple, and the outside walls depicted the epic scenes of heaven and Hell.

Joey and his entourage walked up only a few steps and entered the temple.

At present, there was only one hall in the first-level temple.

Although there was not much light to enter, Joey could easily see everything inside.

On both sides was a long corridor of burning candles, leading to the altar deep inside the temple.

The altar was not high, and there was a statue of a god sitting on it.

Joey carefully looked at the statue for a while and found that the statue was his face..

“This is so ugly. Is this a demonized version of me?”

“I think it would be more comfortable for me to be more human…”

At this moment, the complete information of the building appeared in Joey’s mind.

[ Religious building: Basic Demon God’s Temple ]

[ Attribute: Chaos ]

[ Level: 1]

[ Worshipped Lord: Joey ]

[ Building HP: 50,000]

[ Building defense: 50]

[ Awe: Increases attack and defense by 3% for Chaos-type soldiers in the territory ]

[ Awe: Increases loyalty to territory subjects below the territory and Lord Level ]

[ Religion: Can collect the power of belief of territory subjects to assist the Lord ]

[ Next Level: Intermediate Demonic God’s Palace ]

[ Resources required to level up: 100,000 wood, 100,000 stone, 30,000 refined iron, 50 demon crystals and 10,000 energy stones ]

The resources required to level up to the next level had increased by more than five times!

Joey could not help but sigh. However, the endless stream of information made him understand that it was definitely not a loss to level up this building!

“This building is definitely one of the ways to reach the highest level of a Lord!”

[ You have obtained the power of Faith 10]

[ You have obtained the power of Faith 5]

[ You have obtained the power of Faith 25]

..

Joey closed the information notification of the power of faith. After a moment of peace, he helped up brainy who was praying. He received another upgrade from the system.

[ Please choose the image and name of God! ]

Joey understood this matter with a thought.

According to his thoughts, he could adjust the appearance of the statue. This was also the image of him when he became a god in the future.

“The image of the God…”

The statue on the altar kept changing according to Joey’s various thoughts. Sometimes it was a robot with sharp edges, sometimes it was a powerful and terrifying demon, and sometimes it was an ordinary human.

He thought of and combined the stories and legends of thousands of gods.

In the end, the image of the statue turned into a brilliant angel.

“The appearance is an angel, but the inside is a demon. It is an angel, and also a fallen god King of the Demon!”

“This is Demon God Joey!”

Joey left the temple, feeling extremely excited.

“Because the demon has always been regarded as an evil existence, and coupled with Little Tall’s exposure, this is really a very dangerous thing.”

“Perhaps, this image that can be disguised is more suitable for future development!”

“As long as I can level up to the intermediate temple and unlock the first divine spell, I can have the power to disguise as an angel!”

“It’s very interesting to think about it!”

Little Smart and the others also agreed with this very much.

“The idea of a supreme being is really artistic. Who would have thought that a righteous angel would be disguised by demons? I’m really looking forward to my angel image, Hehe!”

After finally building the temple, Joey shifted his attention back to the transaction.

The news of the successful transaction had arrived one after another.

[ Your rare equipment, the Wolf Fang Sword, has been successfully sold. You have received 1,100 refined iron ]

[ Your rare equipment, the ox-hide armor, has been successfully sold. You have received 1,200 refined iron ]

[ Your rare equipment, the flying bird bracelet, has been successfully sold. You have received 1,350 refined iron ]

..

“Good!”

“Let’s level up to an elementary town in one go!”

Joey came to the warehouse area and looked at the resources that he had painstakingly collected over the past few days.

The neatly arranged refined iron ingots piled up into a huge cube.

The metal blocks that were giving off a colorful glow were gradually enveloped by a ball of white light.

“Level up territory!”

[ Territory, Lucky Castle, Advanced Castle, starting to upgrade. ]

Unlike the quiet upgrade before, Joey could clearly feel the rumbling sound.

The castle was slowly upgrading to an elementary town.

The wood and stone materials were constantly being used up. The large circle of land outside the castle became smoother and smoother, and high stone walls rose up in the distance.

Surrounded by the wall was Joey’s new territory.

A few rugged stone paths connected the high core castle and the high watchtowers around the territory.

The outer wall was almost two meters thick, and it looked very solid.

[ Upgrade successful! ]

[ Territory Lucky Castle has been successfully upgraded to an elementary town! ]

[ System has provided basic building blueprints: Low-level wooden house, can be built unlimited times in the territory ]

[ System has provided basic building blueprints: Water well ]

“Not bad, the upgrade actually gives blueprints of houses and water wells.”

“Unfortunately, my demons don’t need food or water wells.”

“But, can we move the rats into the territory?”

“They should have already submitted to us. Maybe we can give them a chance.”

“This is also the only way to build a strong city!”

After asking for Little Smart’s opinion, Joey has built some houses not far from the city gate and set up wells nearby.

“A journey of ten thousand miles begins with a single step!”

Joey sent an envoy to invite the rat people to join his territory and officially become his subjects.

By letting the rat people do some logging and gathering, they could be considered to be making the most of it.

The key was whether these rats could contribute the power of faith to him?

Logically speaking, it should be possible.

After all, the territories and areas of influence of the Lords were limited, and the resources produced within the territory could only supply a limited number of people.

The power of faith had to subdue the local forces. It was not enough to rely on the troops summoned by the Lords themselves!

They had to subdue enough local forces to build a great empire!

Only then would they be able to ascend to the throne and rule the world!

An elementary town was just the first step.

Joey suppressed his pride.

At this moment, another voice rang out. It was deafening among the hundreds of millions of Lords.

It also revealed Joey’s current situation and strength.

[ Lord Joey is the first to upgrade his territory to an elementary town. ]

[ I hope all the other Lords can keep working hard and ascend to the throne as soon as possible, in order to become the Eternal Lord! ]

Joey!

The first town Lord has appeared!
