"My lord."
Zhao Changshou bowed towards Zhou Zhou after he suddenly appeared in front of the finished Imperial ancestral temple.
"Good work, Elder Zhao."
Zhou Zhou said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, my lord."
Zhao Changshou responded with a smile of his own.
"The monster ranches can be upgraded again."
"Assist Mu Gu in upgrading them and you both should build one extra."
Handing the required resources to Zhao Changshou, Zhou Zhou said to him.
"I will be heading over now."
Zhao Changshou bowed to his lord before taking his leave.
While the chief architect of the city was leaving to handle another project, Zhou Zhou was checking out the building notification of the temple.
[Building Name: Imperial Ancestral Temple]
[Building Level: White silver-tier elementary grade]
[Building Area: 1,390 Kilometers Square]
[Building Effect One – Ancestral Protection: Different types of statue of the human ancestors on cerulean planet can provide various buffs to territories, subjects, and lords after settling into the statue of the human ancestors on cerulean planet.]
[Building Effect Two – Ancestral Blessing: The lord will go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship the ancestors before each big battle. There is a chance of obtaining a random temporary war buff effect.]
[Building Effect Three: When lords and forces under them go out to hunt fog monsters, they will encounter fog monsters that have a very small chance of dropping the statue of the human ancestors of cerulean planet.]
[Current Ancestor Statue Worship: None (Limit: 3)]
[Current Ancestor Enhancement Effect: None]
[Special Note: If a lord is lucky, they can obtain the legacy of a God-tier Human Ancestor.]
Reading through the building description, Zhou Zhou made his way inside.
Having to pass through 3 layers of red walls before arriving in the main hall of the temple, he stared at the 3 luxurious looking shrines in front of him.
''Well, where is the acceptance notification of a God?''
With his heart beating in anticipation and fear, he muttered as he stared at the shrines.
After waiting for over a minute without seeing any notification, Zhou Zhou decided to step into the shrines one after the other.
"You've got to be kidding me!"
Standing inside the 3rd shrine, he was in disbelief after failing to be acknowledged by any God.
Again, he inquired for information from no one in particular.
"Why wasn't I chosen by any God from my race?"
[Supreme Will Notification: Because you've already been chosen by a God.]
"What the hell?"
Zhou Zhou blurted in shock.
"When was that?"
He asked again.
This time, there was no response from the Supreme Will.
"Who's the God?"
Asking another question after 30 seconds, he experienced the same thing.
There was no answer from the Supreme Will.
"How can it drop such huge information without clarifying?"
He complained before stepping out of the shrine.
"I wonder which God chose me and when they did."
He muttered before leaving the temple.
Coming up to Zhou Zhou as soon as he left the temple, Hui Teng handed him the information of a new subject of the city.
'This must be the talent recruited after I became the first Cerulean planet lord to upgrade my territory to the White silver-tier.'
Looking at the information of the high level talent, Zhou Zhou thought.
However, he was surprised how Hui Teng knew about it.
"I never told you that I was expecting any talent recruited due to my reputation rating. How do you come to know that?"
He asked his vice.
"After my lord gave me the authority to accept anyone into the city, I began able to read people's attribute information."
Hui Teng didn't hide anything.
'I thought only competing lords have that ability?'
Zhou Zhou was surprised.
"Can you read my attribute information?"
He asked Hui Teng.
"I can't see your attribute information, my lord."
Hui Teng answered instantly.
Having already tried to read Zhou Zhou's attribute, the spawn of space didn't want to act like it was his first time doing so.
'The void mask is working.'
Zhou Zhou was satisfied at the effects of the void mask.
"You can leave."
He said to Hui Teng.
Bowing his head, Hui Teng left with the document containing the information of every subject in the city.
He knew his lord accepted the arrangements he made with the new subjects.
"I never knew musician was a profession here in the Higher Continent."
Zhou Zhou shook his head before continuing his journey back to his mansion.
...
Just before dusk, Wu Tu and his team of 2 sword shield soldiers, 2 scouts and a cartographer returned back to the city.
"I will be heading to report to the lord now."
The now White platinum-tier cartographer said to his team before making his way to the mansion of the city lord.
"Good luck."
The team of five professionals said to their leader before riding to their homes in their mechanostriders.
Nodding at the well wishes of his team, Wu Tu continued on his way.
Receiving permission to enter the mansion after knocking, he bowed at his lord.
"Have a seat."
Zhou Zhou said to Wu Tu.
Doing as his lord commanded, Wu Tu sat down on the couch opposite to him before making his report.
"My team drew the regional map of Thorn Dune.
He said respectfully.
Taking the map handed to him by Wu Tu, Zhou Zhou began studying it.
[Region Name: Thorn Dune]
[Region Grade: Black iron-tier]
[Region Area: 315 Square kilometers]
[Forces]
[Regional Lord: Sand Corpse Clan]
[Zelar City]
[Iron Limb Centipede Colony]
[Killer Camel Caravan]
[Black Scavenger Clan]
[Bloodsucking Mongoose Mob]
[Four Limb Hare Husk]
[Thorn City]
"Interesting!"
"Such a small place actually has so many factions in it."
Zhou Zhou muttered as Wu Tu handed him more maps.
Going through the maps detailing each force, he was impressed by the scarlet clan lording over the region.
[Regional Lord: Sand Corpse Lord - Noz]
[Territory Rank: Green bronze-tier advance grade]
[Strength: White silver-tier advance grade]
[Subordinates: 4,838 Rock golems]
[Terrain: Desert]
[Territory Walls: None]
[Note: More than half of the sand corpse lord armies are corpses summoned by it and its fellow sand corpse summoners.]
[The corpses summoned have only mist cores as loot and can't be killed unless its summoner dies.]
"They're even more powerful than the Rock Golem Lair ruling the Desolate Gabi region."
He muttered before complimenting Wu Tu and his team.
"You and your team did an amazing job."
"Thank you for your praise, my lord."
Wu Tu bowed with a smile on his face.
"Show the vice city lord your copy of the maps and have him reward you."
"You can leave."
Zhou Zhou said to Wu Tu.
Taking another bow, Wu Tu left the mansion.
Not long after Wu Tu left, Zhou Zhou had another visitor.
"My lord."
Bao Xiu'er bowed in greeting.
Looking at her dress and her hair, Zhou Zhou was impressed.
"I see you put in a lot of work."
He said as he walked towards Bao Xiu'er.
"I want to look my best for my lord."
Bao Xiu'er said with a blush on her face.
Pulling Bao Xiu'er's body into his, Zhou Zhou whispered.
"I'm impressed."
