Chapter 568: Chapter 568: The Self-Adjusting Mountain and River Spirits

"Lord, our construction has reached its limit."

"What’s the situation?" Fang Jie asked the Skeleton Labor before him, although it was a Hero Unit.

"It’s like this, the Lord’s Cottage on the Mountain and River Spirits can only be built up to city level 1 and cannot be improved further. And the buildings of golden level above can only be raised to level 9, which is the limit."

Fang Jie thought for a moment and understood, since the Mountain and River Spirits were special after all.

Although they could easily bear his Territory, hold various buildings, and even carry a Space Gate, the sea fortresses couldn’t do that.

But to bear these things, they needed to be strong enough themselves.

Now the Mountain and River Spirits had reached their limit. To continue enhancing, the strength of the Mountain and River Spirits had to break through. When they reached the Legendary Level, they should be able to withstand it.

But it didn’t matter, given the current situation of the Mountain and River Spirits, they couldn’t be used normally anyway.

Might as well let them slowly Devour and improve here.

"Alright, I understand. You stay here and take care of the Mountain and River Spirits, and notify me if there are any issues." Fang Jie waved his hand; there was nothing else to be done about this situation.

However, it wasn’t many days later when Fang Jie discovered another issue—there was also a limit to the number of buildings the Mountain and River Spirits could carry.

Originally, Fang Jie had thought that since the Functional Buildings couldn’t be raised to Peak, he might as well construct some combat buildings nearby, like his own Fire Bomb Bunker or those Gold-level Death Energy Towers.

But Fang Jie later discovered that the carrying capacity had also reached its limit.

To build more buildings, he would need to demolish some others.

"I didn’t expect the Mountain and River Spirits’ limit to be so obvious. There really is a trade-off; under such limits, the cost-effectiveness still needs to be considered." Fang Jie changed his plan and decided to first upgrade his Mountain and River Spirits.

Time passed, and during this period, Fang Jie continually digested the Strength within his body.

With continuous digestion, his strength grew ever stronger, and who knew when he would reach the Golden Peak. This Cultivation process was truly exhilarating.

How great it would have been to have this speed earlier.

Unfortunately, the World Origin Power within him couldn’t be used by others, or else Fang Jie would have really liked to give some to Qin Lan to help her improve.

Since entering the bronze level, Qin Lan’s Cultivation speed had become even slower.

But Fang Jie wouldn’t bring it up, understanding that one major reason for Qin Lan’s slow Cultivation was the expansion of their Territory, leading to more work and less time for Cultivation.

The fastest Cultivators by now, it was heard, were nearing the silver level.

Even some less visible individuals might have already achieved this level. It was undeniable that there were always some Cultivation geniuses or those with better luck, and nothing could be said about that.

Even if someone was stronger than him now, Fang Jie wouldn’t find it strange.

However, Fang Jie was certain that among the people from Earth, he would be the first to reach the Legendary. Unless others had some special fortunes, like being favored by Gods, it would be impossible for anyone to surpass him.

Because reaching Legendary was not an easy task, and he didn’t believe anyone else would take such risks and fight as hard as he had.

Exploring the otherworld was no simple matter.

That day, Fang Jie was methodically Cultivating when suddenly someone delivered an observation report. It turned out that the appearance of his Mountain and River Spirits had been changing all this time.

Because it was unnoticeable in a day or two, it took many days to clearly observe the change.

"Let me see, it really has changed. What exactly is the reason?"

The Mountain and River Spirits, upon seeing Fang Jie, simply nodded and then continued to close their eyes and digest Resources.

But in Fang Jie’s eyes, the Mountain and River Spirits had now become flatter, their range seemingly much larger than before, but their height was shorter. This appearance didn’t look like a normal tortoise at all.

At the same time, the four legs of the Mountain and River Spirits were much more robust, and the shape twisted even more.

But this shape, upon closer inspection, seemed to have a coordinated feel.

Fang Jie placed his hand on the Mountain and River Spirits and felt the internal changes. "So it can adjust itself, truly worthy of being a living World prototype," Fang Jie reassured himself.

Initially, because the core had been wiped clean, he had arbitrarily thought of a shape.

But that shape, actually, was just what Fang Jie had come up with and was not practical. As the Mountain and River Spirits grew, they continuously adapted to their own situation and gradually adjusted their structure to make themselves more practical.

In Fang Jie’s view, this was a change to evolve.

Each upgrade might indeed be a special evolution, and preparations must be made beforehand. The self-adjustment of the Mountain and River Spirits was such preparation.

While the Mountain and River Spirits’ upgrades needed a lot of Resources and even took much longer than other special creatures,

this was not really all for the sake of strength enhancement; the greater purpose was to stabilize their foundation, allowing them to continually enhance themselves. "No wonder it’s said that the potential of the Mountain and River Spirits is limitless, so that’s the reason."

It was fortunate that it could adjust itself, otherwise, with that randomly thought-out shape, its potential would have been exhausted.

But because of this adjustment, it seemed the Mountain and River Spirits’ upgrade would be pushed back further.

Since there was nothing wrong with the Mountain and River Spirits, Fang Jie decided to go back and continue to enhance. Next, he would have to see to what extent his Territory could be enhanced after his breakthrough.

But just as Fang Jie had returned, he saw Qin Lan appear in his study.

"Do you have time to rest again?" Fang Jie’s eyes lit up; it had been several days since he last relaxed.

"Hold on, there’s trouble this time. Jiaya Island and the Black Feather Kingdom have declared war on us, causing trouble at the border."

"I know Black Feather Kingdom, that’s the Kingdom bordered by us to the North, reportedly backed by the Black Flame Empire. What about this Jiaya Island? It’s not among the major islands, right?"

"Indeed not, Jiaya Island is an island in the Southern part of the Beastman Empire, larger than the typical major islands, even comparable to a small continent. In terms of strength, it also surpasses the Black Feather Kingdom and constitutes a Half-Beast Kingdom."

Qin Lan continued, "The most troublesome part this time is not these two countries but that this action was schemed by the two empires behind them." Qin Lan said gravely.
