Lord of the Earth

Chapter 169 Territory Upgrade, Immortal City!
Xia Tian took a look at the current territory's luck value, which already exceeded "one hundred thousand"!
Moreover, in the past few days, about 500 refugees have poured in again, plus the [-] people who have been relocated from Hujiazhuang now.

The population has also reached [-]!
In other words, the conditions for the third territory upgrade have been fully met.

This time, what will change after the upgrade?
Xia Tian's heart moved, communicating with the will of the earth.

[Do you want to enable territory upgrade?After the upgrade, the territory will be promoted from 'village' to 'town'! 】

[Attention, once the 'advancement' is activated, you will officially enter the 'path of luck', gathering the luck of heaven, earth and all people, and you must also bear the cause and effect... The luck is endless, and the catastrophe is boundless! 】

Unexpectedly, this time the will of the earth did not upgrade the territory as soon as he thought of it as before.

Instead, a "reminder" appeared on purpose.

"Does it mean that the human territory is not actually a real gathering and using 'Qi Luck'?"

Xia Tian was somewhat unexpected.

However, the information that immediately appeared in his mind made him understand.

The "luck" used by the lords of the human race before is essentially the consumption of the earth's universe's own reserves. Only by gathering tens of thousands of people, occupying a certain area and stepping into the "town" level, can we truly rely on our own ability to continuously gather the world and all living beings. Qi luck maintains its operation and continues to develop.

From luck towns, to luck cities, to luck dynasty, luck dynasty, luck emperor dynasty...

"So that means that once you choose to 'promote', it is equivalent to leaving the 'novice protection period'. You have gained more freedom, but you also need to take more risks?"

Xia Tian understood clearly in his heart.

In particular, there is a sentence in the reminder of the will of the earth - "Luck is endless, catastrophe is boundless".

This is not Xia Tian heard for the first time.

"So, this upgrade is different from the previous ones. It will cause the black energy that represents "catastrophe" to explode. Or is it some other test?"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

However, with the current strength of his territory, there shouldn't be any suspense in completing the promotion.

After thinking about it, a snow-white jade dragon armor appeared on Xia Tian's body, stepping on the faint ice mist from the lord's mansion, step by step to the sky!
"Everyone!"

A word from his mouth attracted the attention of everyone in the territory.

"Since coming to the Eternal Land, this territory of the human race has grown from being weak at the beginning to being strong today. From the beginning, I was the only one, and now there are tens of thousands of compatriots of human blood... Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, today The luck of the territory has reached its limit. Therefore, I am going to further upgrade the territory... Next, some situations may happen, so please don't panic."

"The trapped camp, patrol guards, and Yunjiao Army all perform their duties..."

Although the words in Xia Tian's mouth can't be fully understood by most of the territory residents.

But the trust cultivated over a long period of time made the original residents of the territory not worried, and their faces were more curious and surprised, whispering in their mouths.

Although the new residents were a little uneasy, they quickly relaxed under the influence of the old residents.

In particular, after hearing the order, the three armies immediately put on armor and held knives, boarded the city wall fully armed, and all kinds of war facilities were fully prepared!

People's hearts and military hearts are all available.

That being the case, Xia Tian is not a person who likes to dawdle.

"let's start!"

With a thought, [-] points of luck power were used at once, turning into a golden beam of light rising into the sky, straight into the clouds!
At the same time, the invisible fluctuations spread out to the surroundings, as if praying to an unknown existence.

"My respect to Eternal Heaven and Earth, there is a human lord who has overcome obstacles in the summer. Since the establishment of the territory, he has worked hard, gathered all the people, and resisted the catastrophe. His merits will last forever... Please witness the heaven and earth, so as to step on the 'way of luck'!"

With the golden light soaring into the sky, communicating between heaven and earth!
Soon, Xia Tian felt that there seemed to be a huge will, falling in his territory.

It was an extremely majestic, indescribably vast, but indifferent, plain, emotionless feeling, as if someone was overlooking everything from the void!
"Strange, I feel like something is watching me?"

Ordinary residents in the territory also sensed it, and whispered with some surprise on their faces.

"It is the will of heaven and earth in the eternal land!"

In Xia Tian's heart is enlightenment.

In the past, territory upgrading was essentially the "operation" of the will of the earth itself, but now to officially enter the "way of destiny", you need to obtain the approval of the will of heaven and earth in the eternal land!
And after the will of heaven and earth emerged, the sky that was originally very clear and blue sky suddenly became violent, and a large number of dark clouds gathered together to cover the entire territory.

There are thunders flickering in it, like silver snakes shuttling through it, the momentum is huge!

"Hiss, what is this... so scary!"

Many of the residents of the territory changed their faces.

Although everyone has been accustomed to facing various alien races, they still cannot completely feel at ease in the face of this natural power of the world.

In particular, the black clouds hang low and are less than a kilometer away from the territory. It is completely a scene of "black clouds are pressing down on the city and the city is about to be destroyed, and the mountain and rain are about to come, and the wind is filling the building"!

"Is this the legendary 'Tribulation Cloud'? Does it mean that in order for the territory to embark on the true path of destiny, it must first survive the test of thunder and calamity?"

Under the surging black clouds, Xia Tian, ​​who was wearing a snow-white jade dragon armor floating in the air, had a relatively calm face.

He has the "Thunder Power", and has a stronger perception of the changes in the thunder in the sky.

In the body of thunder and lightning surging like silver snakes, there is a force of destruction and vitality coexisting!
This is very similar to the legendary "Heavenly Tribulation".

But the question is, who is the target of the disaster?
"Crack!"

The next moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly lit up.

Immediately, bolts of silver-white thunderbolts descended from the sky like a roaring dragon and smashed towards him!
"No way... when the territory is upgraded, the lord himself has to go through a thunder tribulation? Or maybe this tribulation is like thunder and lightning on the earth, striking the tallest one first!"

Xia Tian's mind flashes with lightning.

If he knew this would happen, he would never fly into the air on purpose!

However, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because, the white tribulation thunder passed by him, and did not hit him, but landed in the sky above the territory, the "city" that evolved from the "Golden Stone of Luck" and had already taken shape above!
"So it turns out that the 'Instrument of Luck' is going to survive the thunder tribulation?"

Xia Tian understood in the heart.

"Rumble..."

Thunder and lightning fell on the "city".

Immediately, a dazzling white light was emitted, like a bright lotus flower blooming, and the majestic power of thunder and lightning enveloped and wrapped the entire "city".

When the power of the thunder calamity dissipated, the city did not change much, only the surface was burnt red by the high temperature formed by the thunder!

"Well, blocked?"

"It seems easier!"

"It seems that there is no problem with our territory's 'advancement'!"

In the territory, Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, Wu Song, Hua Rong and many other heroes looked up at the sky.

Their transformed souls can feel that there is a majestic power in the thunder. If ordinary people come into contact with it head-on, they will instantly turn into ashes!
But this "city"-shaped device of luck seems to be very strong, almost unscathed.

Click!

However, the second tribulation thunder followed closely.

The power of catastrophe contained in it has increased by at least [-]% compared with the first one, and it fell on the city, cracking some buildings slightly.

"Buzz!"

However, followed closely, in the sky.

The golden beam of light formed by the rotation of one hundred thousand qi shot out a ray of light and merged into the "city", and quickly repaired these damages under the tempering of the "fire of luck" below.

In a blink of an eye, the entire city was restored to its original integrity!
The heaven and the earth are the furnace, good fortune is the workmanship; luck is the fire, and the hearts of the people are the hammer!

As long as the hearts of the people in the territory are strong enough, and the "device of luck" created is strong enough, it will not suffer too much damage under the bombardment of the catastrophe, and even if it is damaged, it can be recovered quickly!
Boom boom boom...

Immediately afterwards, one after another thunder tribulations fell towards the city, the power contained in it became stronger each time, and it fell on the "device of luck" like hammering down again and again, causing the "device of luck" to be devastated At the same time, it has also become more solid and firm in the repairs time after time!
At the same time, under the "Eye of Insight", the light it emits is also constantly changing!

After the first lightning disaster, it changed from the initial white to green!

After the third lightning calamity, it turns from green to blue!
During the fifth thunderstorm, several buildings in the city collapsed. After repairs, they turned silver!
During the seventh thunder tribulation, one-fifth of the city was destroyed. After repairs, it suddenly changed from silver to gold!
"This should represent the quality of the final forged 'Tool of Luck'?"

In the heart of Xia Tian realizes.

Then, it was the eighth thunder tribulation!

This time, the power released by Lei Jie was extremely violent, and the color of the thunder and lightning was dark purple, like a huge war hammer falling from the sky, directly destroying a small part of the entire city and consuming [-] energy. Luckily the restoration is complete!
At this time, Xia Tian faced a difficult choice. Should he let this "city" continue to face the catastrophe?

Xia Tian has already known from the information given by the will of the earth.

The natural disaster is indeed very fierce, but in fact, the "promotion" of the territory only needs to survive the first three "natural disasters".

In fact, you can choose to give up on each of the following catastrophes, but the quality and potential of the "weapon to suppress luck" finally created will be different!

"The 'people's heart' of my territory is high enough, and the 'city' that I tempered is strong enough, and it didn't suffer too much damage in the previous seven rounds of thunder disasters. Therefore, one hundred thousand is used to "upgrade" luck Of the strength, there are still about [-] left. Theoretically, there should be a chance to resist the next thunder disaster!"

However, Xia Tian did not "stop".

In Chinese tradition, nine is the number!

In the myths and legends, the catastrophe exists in multiples of nine, and the eternal land is closely related to the earth, so it should also follow this law.

If one can survive the nine thunder tribulations, in a sense it should be regarded as a stage of "consummation"!
And just like what Xia Tian thought, the robbery cloud in the sky seemed to be due to reaching the Ninth Path, this time it did not fall in a hurry like the previous eight times.

Instead, it was slowly brewing, and in the entire dark cloud, the remaining power of catastrophe gathered!

In the end, the color of the formed lightning suddenly changed from purple to black.

Its form is more like an extremely huge Thor's Hammer, which was held by an invisible hand and fell from the sky slowly but firmly, hitting the golden gold that was ten times stronger than the initial form. On the city"!
boom!
The black thunder erupted, with unparalleled destructive power, witnessed by many people below.

Not only the "city" was blasted into pieces all at once, even the fire of luck was annihilated and dissipated by the "bombardment" together!
Then the clouds dissipated, leaving nothing but emptiness in the sky.

"This, did it fail?"

"How come, we failed!"

The faces of tens of thousands of people in the territory looked a little dazed.

Even though Xia Tian himself was a little surprised!
This ninth lightning tribulation is actually so terrifying?
Not only the city was destroyed, but even the "fire of luck" was also annihilated.

Even if he still has [-] power of luck left, how can he restore and forge the "city" without the "fire of luck"?
"Is this... my punishment for being 'greedy'?"

Xia Tian couldn't help but have an idea.

In the eighth round, less than half of the "city" was destroyed by the catastrophe.

If it stopped at that time, at least one top-level golden quality treasure could be obtained?
As a result, now that the ninth thunder tribulation has fallen, it has been destroyed together with the "fire of luck". Is this considered "losing my wife and losing my army"?

If he was asked to choose again now, Xia Tian felt...

I will still make such a decision!
After all, eight lightning tribulations and nine thunder tribulations are probably two completely different concepts!

"Which city seems to have been destroyed?"

"Is this a failure? My lord, it seems to be relatively depressed!"

"Why is this happening? I would rather feel uncomfortable myself than let adults feel uncomfortable..."

The old residents of the Territory looked at the sky, Xia Tian remained silent.

In my heart, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Unexpectedly, even Lord Xia's territory could not pass the test of the 'Heavenly Tribulation', and our territory may be even more unlikely to 'advance'."

"I heard from the lord that the path of luck is the path chosen by the will of Kyushu for our human race! However, this path seems to be a dead end."

But in Fangshi and Huangjintai, those from other territories did not know that this "Heavenly Tribulation" was not meant to survive nine rounds.

Therefore, when facing such a scene, he also looks very ugly!
Just when the entire territory fell silent and the atmosphere became a little gloomy.

"Hey, what is this?"

Suddenly, among the crowd, Pan Jinlian let out a soft gasp.

Because, a ball of golden light flew out of her mind, gathering towards the sky like fireflies!

Not only her, but Wu Dalang, Wu Song, Danniu, Danniu Niang, Niu Niu... all the residents of the famous territory around her had golden dots of luck appearing on their bodies.

"This is the power of luck?"

Xia Tian's eyes moved, it was a little bit of luck, this time it didn't come from the will of the earth.

Rather, it comes from the souls of each resident of the territory, from tens of thousands of people. When they gather together, the light and shadow intersect immediately, like a magical work, and a city wall, city gate, and building are built in the void... In the blink of an eye, it was destroyed before. The "city" reappeared above the territory.

Moreover, under the "Eye of Insight", a noble and elegant jade-white light suddenly emitted.

"This is the gathering of luck, united as one, united as one?"

There was some surprise on Xia Tian's face.

The "city" that had been destroyed had reappeared?
Is this considered to be another village?

However, the re-condensed "city" is not its previous physical state.

Instead, it turned into a seemingly illusory city, and the buildings on it were not completely complete!
【Immortal City (Jade White)】

[Type] Device of Luck (Heaven and Earth Treasure)

[Level] Immortal (cannot be completely destroyed, and various buildings in the territory can obtain the 'immortal' characteristic when connected to the 'qi machine' of the immortal city, and can be restored after being broken), evolution ( The Immortal City can be upgraded as the territory level increases, and the wonder buildings associated with the Immortal City can be upgraded at the same time as the Immortal City is upgraded.

[Explanation] The first "Lucky Weapon" in the Eternal Land that has survived the complete thunder disaster has been approved by the will of the Eternal Land and has huge potential.

[Remarks] The upgrade of the Immortal City and related buildings requires sufficient "power of luck" and sufficient quality building materials. The higher the quality of the materials, the more powerful they will be after the upgrade.

"Is the immortality the reason why it can 'recover'?"

In Xia Tian's heart, there is a guess.

"In addition, with the word 'Heaven and Earth', does it have 'uniqueness' like the Jiangshan Battle Map?"

This "Immortal City" does have some similarities with the "Jiangshan Battle Map", but it can actually upgrade the "Wonderful Building"?
After putting the "marrow washing blood pool" obtained from the mountain ghost secret realm before into the "Jiangshan battle map", Xia Tian discovered that the Jiangshan battle map seems to be unable to "activate" the strange buildings together.

Now this "Immortal City" can upgrade the strange buildings, and can also repair the buildings in the territory?

You must know that both the strange objects and the strange objects and buildings themselves can be destroyed. Once destroyed by the enemy, no matter how powerful the strange objects are, they will have no meaning. Now with this "Immortal City", everything is completely different. , even if the entire territory is in ruins due to fighting, it can still be restored to its original state!
More importantly, as a "device of luck", it can advance as the territory advances.

At the same time, it can also drive the upgrade of the strange buildings associated with it, and the value is even more self-evident!
"However, the first one to pass the nine thunder tribulations will be rewarded? This is a bit surprising."

Once upon a time, when I read novels on Earth and found that there was a setting of extra rewards for being the first to advance, Xia Tian would always complain about it being unreasonable.

But now that his territory has become a lord, Xia Tian feels very reasonable!
After all, the difficulty of surviving the "Nine Thunder Tribulations" is much more difficult than imagined at the beginning.

You must know that the popular support of the residents in his territory is already not low. Zhuge Liang's "Prime Minister" talent also has an additional effect of greatly uniting the public support. "Among them!
Just like that, they almost couldn't survive the "nine times" lightning calamity, and the rest of the territories probably didn't have much chance at all.

Even if we go to great lengths to manage the "people's hearts" and actually create an instrument of luck that has withstood nine thunder tribulations, it will only be of ordinary jade quality and cannot be compared with this "Immortal City" that is rated as a treasure of heaven and earth!
