Chapter 1008 - 1008 Welcome

1008 Welcome

Ning Shanshan patted Liu Yan’s shoulder and said, “Junior, impressive. You’ve established a strong territory. I’ll follow you in the future.”

Liu Qingrou smiled and added, “To be able to join a territory with such terrifying potential is truly an honor for us.”

Lu Dajiang glanced at Ning Shanshan and remarked, “Don’t be so reckless. He’ll be our captain from now on!”

Wei Feng laughed heartily and exclaimed, “Who would have thought? The Origin Territory could become this formidable.”

Meanwhile, Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan’s team members were engaged in animated discussions.

“I didn’t expect the Origin Territory to have a platinum Lord’s token.”

“We are lucky this time, hahaha.”

“As long as we continue to grow, we’ll surely amaze many.”

“With some time, the Origin Territory could easily surpass the Lighthouse Territory!”

“Even more than that, I feel like it’s just a matter of time before the Origin Territory surpasses the Lakon Territory!”

“Hahaha!”

Members of Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan’s squads were initially a bit concerned about joining the Origin Territory.

After all, the Origin Territory was a new territory. Unlike the Lighthouse Territory, which had already become strong and dependable, joining a new territory meant they couldn’t rely on it immediately. Instead, they had to work tirelessly to build it up.

However, from the looks of it now, such an Origin Territory was completely worth their efforts to build. Because it was all worth it!

Seeing this scene, Liu Yan was somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected that the platinum Lord’s token of the Origin Territory would have such an effect, instantly fostering a sense of belonging among the members of these two squads.

Initially, Liu Yan knew that while the members of these squads had agreed to join the Origin Territory, it would likely take some time for them to develop a true sense of belonging.

However, he hadn’t anticipated that this fortunate turn of events would expedite the process.

This was a favorable outcome, and Liu Yan felt relieved.

Subsequently, Liu Yan proceeded to officially integrate these team members into the Origin Territory.

This was a task that only the captain could perform, so Liu Yan took the lead.

Holding the platinum Lord’s token of the Origin Territory, Liu Yan guided each team member past him, symbolizing their entry into the Origin Territory.

Of course, their consent was necessary for a successful integration.

After completing these procedures, Liu Yan successfully brought the majority of the team members from these two squads into the Origin Territory.

Only a small number of members, such as Wang Long and his group, had chosen not to join the Origin Territory.

Liu Yan didn’t mind these individuals.

After all, the Origin Territory didn’t require their participation. With the other team members, it was sufficient.

Whether they joined the Origin Territory or not, Liu Yan wouldn’t force them, nor did he need them.

Following a series of actions, Liu Yan turned his attention to Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan and said, “Alright, from now on, you will be the captains of the sixth and seventh squads.”

Addressing the members of the sixth and seventh squads, Liu Yan continued, “You are now members of the Origin Territory. Welcome to the Origin Territory!”

The members of the sixth and seventh squads exchanged glances and erupted into cheers.

Joining the Origin Territory was unquestionably a positive development. Naturally, they were pleased about it.

Liu Yan proceeded, “For safety reasons, nobody is allowed to leave the Origin Territory for the next period. The territory barrier cannot be breached. I will close all the city gates. Without my authorization, nobody is allowed to leave the Origin Territory. This includes the unaffiliated Awakened individuals!”

The members of the sixth and seventh squads didn’t voice any objections upon hearing Liu Yan’s instructions.

Considering the overwhelming might of the Lakon Territory, the current Origin Territory was powerless to confront them.

The top priority was to avoid direct conflict with the Lakon Territory.

All the team members were not allowed to leave the Origin Territory. Although it seemed to restrict their movements, it was actually for their safety. The members of the sixth and seventh teams naturally did not have any objections.

As for the Awakened individuals who hadn’t joined the Origin Territory, like Wang Long and his group, they felt somewhat displeased, but they had no recourse. They didn’t dare to voice any dissent. After all, this was the domain of the Origin Territory, and they couldn’t risk provoking a situation. They could only bide their time and await an opportunity to escape.

Liu Yan turned his attention to the members of Team Origin and conveyed, “After the recent major battle, you all have put in a great effort. In the coming days, until the territory barrier of the Origin Territory dissipates, focus on cultivating, resting, and improving your strength.”

Upon hearing Liu Yan’s words, a collective sigh of relief emanated from the members of Team Origin.

Since their entry into the sixth level of the tower, the members of the Origin Territory had been consistently occupied.

Whether collecting resources or engaging in combat, sometimes even battles to the death, they hadn’t experienced a single moment of respite.

These few days, they could finally relax. They could relax and prepare for the territory war after the territory barrier disappeared.

Subsequently, Liu Yan disbanded the seven squads of Team Origin and instructed them to disperse.

The first through fifth squads of Team Origin were original members and had their own wooden houses. They returned to their respective accommodations to recuperate, rest, and cultivate, thus enhancing their strength.

The members of the sixth and seventh squads had just arrived at the Origin Territory and didn’t have their own wooden houses.

However, they had brought along a substantial amount of resources and had ample materials to construct their own wooden houses.

Liu Yan also disbanded the group of experts, allowing them to disperse and rest for cultivation.

Following that, Liu Yan directly employed the platinum Lord’s token of the Origin Territory to seal off all the city gates, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

Simultaneously, Liu Yan also shut down the teleportation square, prohibiting the use of teleportation arrays to exit the Origin Territory.

In this manner, no one within the Origin Territory could leave without Liu Yan’s authorization.

This approach allowed Liu Yan to ensure that no one within the Origin Territory could depart without permission, thus safeguarding against the leakage of information.

Liu Yan was cautious about this matter, as any opportunity could lead to the risk of information leakage.

Should the Lakon Territory inhabitants seize such an opportunity, it was highly plausible that they would uncover the Origin Territory’s location.

At that time, the Origin Territory would be forced to confront the Lakon Territory directly.

Even though Liu Yan’s strength was not ordinary and had already reached 19 Stars of battle prowess.

However, against a behemoth like the Lakon Territory, the Origin Territory had no chance of winning.

Under such circumstances, Liu Yan’s prowess would likely be restricted to self-preservation at best, while the members of the Origin Territory would suffer the consequences.

Hence, Liu Yan’s decision to completely seal off the Origin Territory was undoubtedly the most prudent and secure course of action.

After sealing off the Origin Territory, Liu Yan brought Luo Qingcheng, Chu Long, and Liu Qingrou to prepare to start building the Origin Territory.

Luo Qingcheng was primarily in charge of constructing the Origin Territory, while Chu Long took on the responsibility of managing the territory’s warehouse.

As for Liu Qingrou, she was overseeing the warehouse of the Lighthouse Territory. Most of the resources brought from the Lighthouse Territory were under her care, requiring her to facilitate the transition.

Thus, Liu Yan naturally required the assistance of the three women in building the Origin Territory.

Luo Qingcheng, while reviewing the structures within the Origin Territory using the Lord’s token and said, “Most of the buildings that can be upgraded within the Origin Territory have already undergone significant improvements. The conditions for upgrading the Origin Territory have been met in various aspects, except for the population.”

Chu Long added, “All the materials required for upgrading the territory to level-3 have been prepared well in advance. There is a surplus of materials.”

Hearing their conversation, Liu Qingrou was somewhat taken aback.

It was already extremely rare for new territory on the sixth floor of the tower to reach level-2 before the territory barrier disappeared, which was the end of the novice protection period.

If one wanted to upgrade a territory, the requirements were extremely harsh, and the resources required were also extremely large.

Hence, upgrading a territory was invariably a challenging feat.

Initially, Liu Qingrou was astounded by the fact that the Origin Territory had already ascended to level-2. However, she hadn’t anticipated that the prerequisites for elevating the Origin Territory to level-3 had already been fulfilled and that all the necessary materials had been gathered.

The speed of development exhibited by the Origin Territory was truly astonishing, surpassing Liu Qingrou’s initial expectations.

After a brief moment of silence, Liu Qingrou inquired, “How did you manage this? The pace of territory advancement is remarkable.”
