Fengle City now covers an area of 400 square kilometers, with the central plaza alone occupying half of that. This is because the four most frequented areas – the Enlightenment Tower, the Spirit Refining Tower, the Ladder to Heaven, and the Secret Realm – were strategically placed by Ye Yun at the four corners of the central plaza. Ye Yun's statue of a saint, now appearing in the very center, naturally draws the attention of players from all four sectors.
Compared to these five major traffic hubs, the other streets are also bustling with people. After all, Fengle City's average daily online population has already exceeded 1.8 million! And this number is rapidly increasing by 100,000 each day.
"Why did Zhou Ningdong arrange the teleportation array here? It feels like a waste of its function!" Ye Yun walked towards the teleportation array and couldn't help but complain, looking at the dedicated plaza for the array, which occupied less than ten square kilometers. The flow of people here is a bit low. In other cities, aren't all teleportation arrays set up in giant dedicated plazas?
"Teleport – New Mortal Continent!"
Ten days have passed, and with the next round of rankings about to refresh, Ye Yun is unwilling to give up the generous rewards.
In the New Mortal Continent, within Yuntian City, Yue Di and others are gathered in a newly built mansion. This serves as their common meeting place for key members of their respective races.
"Everyone, please share your thoughts. After about ten days of adaptation, are there any issues?" he asked sternly, looking at the six races seated below.
Although the six great races are vassals of the Moon Shadow tribe, they still need to be rewarded. This situation is like a pyramid, with Ye Yun at the apex. Below him are Zhou Ningdong of Blue Star, Mo Li of the Demon Realm, Zhang Junbao of the Demonic Realm, and Yue Di of the New Mortal Continent. These four are on the second tier, assisting Ye Yun in managing their respective territories.
"There are three days left until the next round of rankings. Thanks to our master, none of us received Spirit Stone rewards last round. If we get first place this time, we'll have to hand over half to our master, which would still be 2500 stones."
"We can use these Spirit Stones to build our first team of fifty people. Once these fifty people improve their strength in reality, they can also enhance the energy of our Seventh Universe from various aspects. Therefore, my suggestion is that with only two or three days left until the new cycle begins, we can fully utilize these two days to travel and improve our strength the moment the new round starts, helping our master expand the territory of the New Mortal Continent!"
Liu Sao, the commander of the Flowing Sand tribe, clad in golden armor, sat to the immediate right of Yue Di.
According to the agreement, this first team of fifty people will be under his command. At that time, this team will use half of the Spirit Stones collected by all six hundred of them to purchase attribute points. It can be said that these individuals are not considering their innate talent at all now. In order to become powerful quickly and assist Ye Yun, they will pour all their resources into attribute points. Once formed, this team can practically walk through the New Mortal Continent without fear, as long as they don't encounter teams from super cities.
"Seconded. I agree with Commander Liu Sao. As long as our master is here, the area within 30,000 kilometers of Yuntian City will be our absolute safe zone. Furthermore, there are very few flying beasts on the New Mortal Continent. Once the time comes, with these fifty people forming an elite vanguard, we can establish a sub-city of Yuntian within 30,000 kilometers. Then, we can build teleportation arrays between them, so our master won't have to waste so much time traveling."
Tian Zhantian nodded from the other side. Among the seven great tribes, except for the Moon Shadow tribe stationed in Yuntian City, the other six great tribes will each form their own combat teams, with resources distributed through a unified priority system. Each round, one tribe will take precedence, and daily gains will be distributed according to the established "Heavenly Dao Pact."
Yue Di, seated at the head of the table, stood up when he saw no objections from the others.
"Alright, if we're going to play, let's play big. Since we're building sub-cities, let's directly establish one in each of the four cardinal directions: east, west, north, and south. You six tribes can decide amongst yourselves which tribe will be stationed in each of these four sub-cities. The remaining two tribes will help guard here until the security strength of Yuntian City is established, as more and more players will gather here in the future."
As the city that ascended to the first position in territory points on the New Mortal Continent solely through Ye Yun's efforts, as long as Ye Yun maintains this record, this first place is almost unshakeable. After two consecutive such achievements, countless players will flock to become citizens of Yuntian City. At that point, calculated per capita, the Spirit Stones obtained each round will reach a terrifying amount.
"Understood. I will make the arrangements then." Liu Sao stood up, his golden armor gleaming conspicuously. With the priority to enhance his strength this time, coupled with this set of equipment, he could practically dominate the New Mortal Continent.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ye Yun walked in, looking completely bewildered, as the others were getting up to leave.
In the game, unlike reality, his excessively powerful divine sense had almost no place to be utilized.
"Master!" Upon seeing Ye Yun approach, they immediately bowed.
"Get up. Have there been any problems in the past few days?" Although it wasn't his own lord's mansion, Ye Yun unceremoniously sat down in Yue Di's original seat.
"No problems have occurred. However, Master, we were just discussing the matter of sub-cities..." Yue Di began to explain to Ye Yun, who listened with a strange expression.
Previously, Ye Yun's attack range was 30,000 kilometers. However, after one natural month, Ye Yun's skill 'Fire Refining the World' had been reallocated. With the current attack coverage of this skill on the New Mortal Continent, it was a full fifty times greater than before! The range had reached a massive one million kilometers, almost covering more than half of the New Mortal Continent.
"Uh, there's no need for everyone to go through so much trouble. If you really must build them, then build airborne cities. Primarily focus on killing airborne beasts and players." Ye Yun waved his hand, interrupting Yue Di and the others' rather unambitious ideas.
Ye Yun's idea was simple: monopolize the New Mortal Continent and destroy the cities of all other factions! However, some cities, like Yuntian City, were built in the air, some underground, and some underwater. These would require the assistance of Yue Di and his group, as Ye Yun's personal energy was limited, and he still needed helpers to deal with any remaining outliers.
However, listening to their conversation, Ye Yun did gain some inspiration.
If these sub-cities were far enough away, would that mean that the lives of the vast majority of players on the New Mortal Continent would be in his hands?
