Leaving Hui Teng to his task, he headed into his mansion.
"Amazing!"
He was fascinated by the appearance of his sitting room.
Snapping out of his fascinated state, he sat on his exquisite couch before retrieving the supreme treasure chest from his spatial ring.
Opening the treasure chest, Zhou Zhou saw a miniature building inside.
"Another special building?"
He couldn't hide his excitement at the thought of having something comparable to the Hall of Truth.
He quickly checked the information on the building.
[Building Name: Hall of Freedom]
[Grade: Special grade]
[Building Description: An Ancient Relic created by the Supreme Will. This building gives those willing to be free the chance to break the cage of distance.]
[Remark: Bonded to Blazing Sun. The building will enlarge and appear beside the lord's house in 3.. 2.. 1]
Stepping out of his mansion as soon as soon as the countdown began, Zhou Zhou had to walk for a while before seeing the huge building a bit close to the uncompleted ancestral temple.
"It's a little bigger than the Hall of Truth."
He said before reading the information on the building.
[Building Name: Hall of Freedom]
[Building Effect 1: You can cover 1/8th of the entire High Continent in a single teleportation travel.]
[Prompt 1: The latitude and longitude of the location must be precisely inserted.]
[Prompt 2: You have a time period of 10 days before your space signal vanishes from the Hall of Freedom, intercepting your path of return.]
[Prompt 3: A maximum of 80 individuals is allowed to travel at a time. Cooling Period: 1 Week.]
[Prompt 4: The maximum strength level allowed: White platinum-tier elementary grade.]
...
"So many limitations despite being a hall representing freedom!"
Zhou Zhou couldn't understand the concept.
"Aside that, this freaking awesome!"
"Another of my desires has been perfectly fulfilled!"
He jabbed the air in excitement as he walked into the huge empty hall.
Compared to the Hall of Truth, the diagrams on the pillars of the Hall of Freedom all connected at the gigantic door in the middle of the hall.
"It's beautiful."
Staring at the squirming space boxed by the gigantic door, he mumbled.
As a child of space-time, he could sense the concentrated amount of space law coming from the gigantic door.
He found it beautiful and alluring.
Fighting the urge to dive into the door, Zhou Zhou forced himself out of the hall.
'I shouldn't let anyone into this hall unless I'm certain they aren't spawns of space.'
He mused before looking up the changes in his unique race title.
[Title: The Glory of the Pioneer II]
[Title Quality: Unique Title of The Race]
[Title Effect One: You are famous among the Cerulean planet lords. More people admire your reputation and yearn to join your territory.]
[The number of subjects you can summon through the gate of summoning every day +100%. Professional talents of the same level as the territory among the subjects summoned +2!]
[Title Effect Two: This title will be upgraded to Glory of the Pioneer III and unlock more title effects when you become the first Cerulean planet lord to possess a White silver-tier elementary grade territory!]
"I can have more subjects and professionals to help the city grow into a metropolis."
Looking forward to the changes in the summoning gate, Zhou Zhou moved to complete it.
Arriving in front of the summoning gate, he spent 32,000 units of basic materials and 800 Green bronze-tier mist cores to upgrade it.
[Congratulations, your gate of summoning has been upgraded to a White silver-tier elementary grade building!]
[You can summon 30 subjects every day!]
[You will definitely summon 8 Professionals every day!]
[Prompt: Under the influence of the race's unique title, "Glory of the Pioneer II", you can summon 189 subjects a day!]
[You will definitely summon 11 Professionals every day!]
[And the professional levels of 3 of them will be the same as your territory level!]
"Hui Teng better be ready to properly manage an increase of 189 subjects from now on."
"He might've been able to manage the standard 63 summoned subjects. Well it is what it is."
Zhou Zhou muttered before looking up the requirements to upgrade the gate of summoning to the White silver-tier intermediate grade.
[Construction Upgrade: 60,000 units of basic materials (wood, fine sand, metal, stone), 200 White silver-tier mist cores, Territory level upgraded to the next grade!]
"It's now looking like a bonus for upgrading my territory."
He retracted his gaze before returning to his mansion.
'I wonder what high level talent would be attracted by the Reputation rating point acquired today.'
Walking into his mansion, he thought with a smile on his lips.
...
Returning to the city, Wu Tu knew something has changed.
"Did the city's barrier and the region increase?"
He spoke to his securities and his subordinate, the two sword shield soldiers assigned to protect him and the new cartographer summoned from the gate of summoning today.
"Eh... Wait, is seems it did!"
"That's right! We would've ridden a few more kilometers before coming across the city's entrance!"
They both said after catching on to Wu Tu's take.
The Black iron-tier cartographer said nothing.
He just joined the territory today and wasn't too familiar with the distance needed to cover before leaving the city or the region it was situated in.
"The lord must have increased the rank of the city."
"And that must've forced the size of the region to also increase."
"That isn't it. The city's territory didn't force the region to expand, it became the region itself!"
Wu Tu found his second theory better than his first.
"Does that mean the High Continent can continue to expand if more lords increase the rank of their territory?!"
The sword shield soldiers were shocked at their imagination.
"I guess that's the might of the Supreme Will."
Wu Tu was also shocked at the thought of a never ending planet.
"I will go report the success of our mission to the lord."
He said to his protectors and his subordinate.
"Aright."
"Don't forget to inform him about the expansion of the region."
They said to him.
"I won't."
Wu Tu said before heading towards the location of the lord's courtyard while the sword shield soldiers headed towards the military base.
"It changed again!"
"He definitely upgraded the city's territory."
Certain he was in the right location, he exclaimed at the mansion in front of him.
Walking through the lawn on the stone pathway, he arrived at the door of the mansion.
"Come in."
After knocking twice, a voice sounded from behind the door.
"Amazing!"
Pushing the door open, Wu Tu was amazed by the appearance of the sitting room.
"Have a seat."
Pulling Wu Tu back to reality with the sound of his voice, Zhou Zhou pointed at his second couch.
"Forgive me, my lord!"
Wu Tu bowed deeply to apologize for ignoring his lord after getting his attention stolen by the beauty of the room.
"You're forgiven."
"How was today?"
Zhou Zhou asked as he looked at the teenager.
"It was successful, my lord."
"We completely mapped the entire Desolate Gobi Region and its forces."
Taking a seat, Wu Tu pulled out a map from his bag before handing it over to his lord.
[Region Name: Desolate Gobi]
[Region Grade: Black iron-tier]
[Region Area: 611 Square kilometers]
[Forces]
[Regional Lord: Rock Golem Lair]
[Kobold Tribe]
[Yellow Python Nest]
[Wild Dog Pack]
[Fog Ostrich Flock]
Unfolding the map, Zhou Zhou saw the Kobold tribe, as well as, the 4 Scarlet lord forces.
"So, a scarlet lord is the regional lord of desolate gabi."
He muttered as he went through the information written on it.
[Regional Lord: Golem Lord - Neox]
[Territory Rank: Green bronze-tier advance grade]
[Strength: White silver-tier advance grade]
[Subordinates: 4,105 Rock golems]
[Terrain: Desert]
[Territory Walls: None]
[Note: These golems had extremely strong bodies and are fearless in battle.]
[Moreover, they do not have souls in their bodies since they are not flesh and blood creatures.]
"It's definitely a regional lord."
"I can be certain to loot something good from its corpse."
Seeing the stats on the Golem lord, Zhou Zhou wasn't disappointed.
"You and your team did very well."
"Report your contributions to the vice city lord and have him reward you."
"Also, have Kelvin and Gavi join your team. They are professional scouts."
He said to the cartographer.
"Thank you, my lord."
Wu Tu said before bringing up the matter of the city's territory becoming the region.
"I never thought of that."
Zhou Zhou said before quickly checking his attribute panel.
[Regional Lord Territory: Blazing Sun Desert]
[Region Grade: Black iron-tier]
[Region Area: 900 Square kilometers]
[Note: Your region area has reached it limit. Upgrade to the Green bronze-tier to continue leveling up your territory!]
"What the hell?!"
He was shocked at the end note.
''Was it trying to surprise me at the moment I try to upgrade my territory?''
''Why wasn't I notified?''
He sat in silence for a while before calming down.
'There are no White silver-tier territory close to me, so it would take a while before I fulfil the criteria of acquiring a White silver-tier territory token.'
He thought before letting Wu Tu leave after thanking him for his observation.
