Dragon Rising City was located on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
Wearing a black robe and a mask, Lin Yang walked slowly along the streets of Dragon Rising City before stopping in front of a large mansion.
Like the Yang family fortress of the Power Clan, it was called a residence but was actually closer to a fortress.
The courtyard walls were thick and tall, over four meters high. The gate tower was over eight meters high, and the gate itself was over two feet (about 60 centimeters) thick.
It was like an impregnable fortress enveloping the entire residence.
Among them were many defensive traps and hidden arrows.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the layout of the entire mansion was very refined and reasonable, with almost no unnecessary decorations.
Sturdy yet detailed, simple yet practical.
"Truly impressive." Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction.
There were many people on the continent with architectural skills, but very few spirit masters who did this kind of work.
The Infinite Space was so vast that ordinary craftsmen would probably never be able to complete it even if they spent their entire lives on it.
Only the royal family could undertake this task.
Then, Lin Yang strode toward the gate of the Power Clan.
Unlike the reclusive Destroyer Clan, the Royal Clan kept their doors open and welcomed all visitors.
Although Lin Yang wore a black robe and exuded a very mysterious aura, the people of the Power Clan still greeted him politely.
"May I ask the purpose of your visit to our Power Clan?"
Lin Yang said in a low voice, "Of course. It's business. I would like to meet Chief Niu. I have a big deal I want to discuss with him."
"This way, please."
The disciple replied politely and led Lin Yang to a side hall.
After a servant poured tea for Lin Yang, the disciple continued,
"Please wait a moment. I will inform him."
Lin Yang nodded lightly.
Soon, a burly middle-aged man walked in with large strides from the side corridor.
This person was none other than Niu Gao, the clan leader of the Power Clan.
Although he wasn't particularly tall, he exuded a calm and authoritative aura. Every step he took was steady and powerful.
The moment he looked at Lin Yang, Niu Gao slightly furrowed his brows, but quickly relaxed and spoke in a dignified voice.
"I heard you want to make a big deal with our Power Clan. May I ask what kind of deal it is?"
He paused, staring at the mask on Lin Yang's face, and spoke in a tone that left no room for rebuttal.
"Let me make one thing clear first. The Power Clan only knows how to build. If you have other business, this is not the place for you. Please leave!"
Lin Yang didn't mind Niu Gao's somewhat aggressive attitude.
He picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then slowly and clearly said,
"I came here because I was impressed by the royal family's architectural skills."
"Oh?"
Niu Gao raised his eyebrows in interest and pulled out a chair to sit down.
What do you want to build?
"A city!"
Lin Yang spoke as if he were talking about something very ordinary, looking completely calm.
Bang!
He slammed his fan-sized hand heavily on the table. Titan's terrifying aura instantly erupted, even freezing the surrounding air.
Niu Gao glared with bull-like eyes, his face turning pale.
"Are you mocking me?"
Lin Yang's expression didn't change. He simply placed a Gold Soul Coin card on the table and pushed it in front of Niu Gao.
"This is 10,000 Gold Soul Coins. Consider it a deposit."
The side corridor fell silent for a moment.
Niu Gao's body stiffened slightly. When his gaze fell on the gold soul coin card in front of him, the anger in his eyes visibly faded by more than half.
The royal family possessed excellent architectural skills, but how much profit could they make from building houses?
Moreover, they usually took on miscellaneous jobs like building bridges, roads, houses, and fortresses, so their lives were only slightly better than the Min Clan's in the past — far from wealthy.
And now, 10,000 Gold Soul Coins were placed in front of him.
A full 10,000. And that was only the deposit.
Niu Gao quietly swallowed. His Adam's apple moved slightly.
He didn't immediately pick up the gold soul coin card. Instead, he looked up again. His gaze was sharper than before, and the trace of panic had disappeared. His tone had also clearly softened.
"Your Excellency, where would you like to build this city?"
"I would like Chief Niu to accompany me," Lin Yang said.
"Good!"
Niu Gao nodded through gritted teeth.
He had already decided to take this job, even if it meant working on a cliff or in a remote, impoverished area.
There was no other choice. The royal family desperately needed funds.
"Please wait a moment. I need to make the necessary preparations. We will depart soon."
With that, Niu Gao stood up and hurriedly prepared to leave.
Lin Yang raised his hand to stop him. "Chief Niu, there's no need to pack. We're heading there right now."
The moment those words were spoken, a deep vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them, slowly rotating.
Niu Gao unconsciously took half a step back. "This is…"
"Come in and take a look!"
Lin Yang didn't say much. He simply stepped into the vortex first.
Niu Gao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed him inside.
The moment Niu Gao stepped into Infinite Space, he was completely stunned.
Before his eyes stretched an endlessly vast space with no end in sight and no edges to touch.
He stood there, dazed and speechless for a long time.
"Chief Niu." Lin Yang's voice came from behind. It was calm, yet carried a hint of amusement.
"Would you like to help build a city in this place?"
Niu Gao suddenly turned around and stared at Lin Yang.
"You can get as much as you want, and the funds are unlimited."
Niu Gao's breathing became ragged. His chest heaved violently.
His eyes flickered with shock, excitement, and a trace of barely concealed fanaticism.
"Good!"
He spoke each word clearly and carefully. His voice was deep and powerful.
"No problem."
After the discussion, Lin Yang entrusted Niu Gao with the design and construction of the entire Infinite City.
To help him better understand the Infinite Space, Lin Yang took him inside for a tour.
Afterward, he set up a spatial entrance within the royal family.
This way, the Power Clan could freely enter and exit the space without leaving their residence.
Lin Yang wasn't worried about Infinite Space being exposed.
Ultimately, Infinite Space only existed because of him. Any changes within the space were under his control.
Even if there was a risk of exposure, in the worst case, he could simply close one entrance. It wasn't a big deal.
After Lin Yang left, Niu Gao immediately gathered his clansmen and mobilized the entire clan to begin large-scale procurement of various materials.
Then they began bustling about inside the Infinite Space.
Thanks to the full cooperation of the entire Power Clan and Lin Yang's substantial financial support, the Infinite Space was no longer the empty void it had been at the beginning.
In just a few months, the prototype of a city appeared on the ground.
And the number of people here gradually increased.
Besides the royal family, many people rescued by the Sun Sect who hadn't received proper care were also sent here.
Among them were those sold as slaves, orphans who had lost their families and were forced to live on the streets, and believers who wished to join the Sun Sect.
The vast majority of these people were homeless.
Once transferred to the Infinite Space, the residents of the Butterfly House could examine their bodies and treat injuries or illnesses.
If they had talent, they could also join the Butterfly House or the Sun Sect.
They could also work here and settle down to start a new life.
Lin Yang asked no questions about these people.
He didn't try to stop anyone from leaving.
