Global Lords: My Territory Heart Is a World Tree

Chapter 295: Chapter 169: Leaving Again

The information he’d gained from merging with the World Tree showed that if the tree didn’t actively process these new lands, it would take 1,371 days for them to be fully incorporated into the World Tree Territory system—at a rate of 350 kilometers per day, a hundred times the current territory’s expansion speed.

Although he didn’t know why the World Tree was in such a hurry, Lin Yu’s intuition told him that since he didn’t understand, he should just follow the World Tree’s instincts.

...

When noon arrived, the territory’s high-ranking personnel gathered at the Lord’s Mansion as per Lin Yu’s previous instructions, waiting for him to outline the direction for development after his departure.

What they found was Lin Yu sitting motionless on a chair next to the Lord Core. If they hadn’t confirmed that his condition was completely normal, they would have thought he’d been assassinated.

This was because Lin Yu was completely immersed in the process of the World Tree fusing with the territories.

He discovered that while merged with the World Tree, the territories it was fusing with gave him a special sense of intimacy and familiarity. He could even slightly alter their terrain as easily as flexing his biceps.

However, he couldn’t control the territories the World Tree had expanded on its own in the past. This meant that when he was in a state of fusion with the World Tree, he also had control over the territories it was currently integrating.

Moreover, as the amount of territory under his complete control increased, Lin Yu could clearly feel the degree of fusion between him and the World Tree deepening. A constant stream of energy was also feeding back into his human body, causing his power to rise continuously.

Several more hours passed. Before their time on Cuiwei Star was up, all the territories forcefully stuffed in by the organizers had been completely fused. The rules within these lands were now synchronized with the World Tree (allowing them to benefit from the territory’s trait bonuses). The price, however, was that everything containing energy within the entire territory had been drained dry by the World Tree.

But it was all worth it. Lin Yu could feel that the entire territory was now a single, cohesive whole, no longer giving the sense of a foreign object lodged in a body.

The amount of Spiritual Energy naturally produced by the territory also far surpassed what it was before. It would only take a few months to recover the previous total amount of Spiritual Energy, though reaching the previous concentration would still take some time.

More importantly, with all the territories now completely under its control, the World Tree leveled up. Its trunk emitted soft "CRACK~ CRACK~" sounds as it rapidly shot upward.

Having already grown to over a thousand meters tall over the years, the World Tree now grew rapidly once more, only stopping when its trunk reached a height of over three thousand meters. Its canopy was now immense beyond measure, turning it into a veritable small green mountain, and its attributes had also undergone some changes.

[Name]: Lord Core — World Tree (Growth Stage II)

[Quality]: Colorful Mythical

[Description]: A World Tree that grew from chaos, currently in the second stage of its growth period.

[Territory Traits — Nature’s Dominance, Rapid Growth, Space-Time Ripple, Towering Giant Tree, World Vein Branches, Glacier Branch]...

[Lush Foliage III]:

All buildings in the territory incorporate World Tree Roots, reducing construction requirements to one percent.

All units in the territory receive the World Tree’s blessing, reducing recruitment and maintenance fees to one percent.

(Passive, continuously active)

[Territory Trait — Vigorous Growth III]: The World Tree’s growth has entered its third stage. Territory size is no longer restricted by the Lord Core’s level. The territory’s area increases daily along with the World Tree’s growth.

Daily territory area +5% (based on the territory area at the time of entering Growth Stage II).

[Territory Trait — Spatial Protection III]: The World Tree’s surface is covered by a spatial barrier. Immune to all attacks below 1,000,000 damage. Immune to scouting effects below God-tier.

[Territory Trait — Elemental Rule Manipulation]: The World Tree can slightly influence the elements of Wind and Thunder; manipulate the elements of Metal, Water, Fire, and Earth within the territory; control the element of Ice; and dominate the element of Wood. (Corresponds to the Elemental Cores within the Five Elements Core. Wind/Thunder are Legendary, Metal/Water/Fire/Earth are Fabled, Ice is Epic, and Wood is Mythical).

-----------------

The three territory traits—Lush Foliage, Vigorous Growth, and Spatial Protection—each leveled up, their effects enhanced.

The Lush Foliage trait was no longer limited to affecting only the Natural Camp.

The growth rate for Vigorous Growth decreased from 10% to 5%, but the base area had been updated. Now, it was based on the current territory area of 491,823 square kilometers.

In other words, from now on, the territory would naturally grow by 24,591.15 square kilometers per day.

Spatial Protection’s defensive capability grew stronger, increasing from 200,000 to 1,000,000.

Finally, he had gained the Elemental Rule Manipulation ability, which allowed him to manipulate the elements within the territory. As for the full extent of this ability, he would have to experiment with it later.

With the World Tree sorted out, Lin Yu withdrew his consciousness from the Lord Core. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that even without merging with the Lord Core, he could now use some of the World Tree’s authority.

The new territory trait—Elemental Rule Manipulation—had a particularly noticeable effect on him personally. Various elemental skills that once required incantations could now be activated with a mere thought. This was especially true for wood-elemental skills, which now required almost no energy from him and felt as smooth and natural as moving his own limbs.

After experimenting for a short while, Lin Yu stopped.

Since he didn’t know to what extent he could interfere with the territory after returning to Cuiwei Star, he needed to delegate instructions for the future. Time was short; he couldn’t afford to play around any longer.

"As you all probably know, I’m about to leave the territory. For the next few years, you may have to develop the territory on your own."
