Bai Xiaowen pressed his hand directly on the boundary marker.
A wave of primordial energy was injected into the boundary marker, and it went all the way to the core of the boundary marker without any obstruction.
The Spirit Realm's rules prompted:
"You have discovered an ownerless territory boundary marker."
"You have temporarily obtained control of this ownerless territory."
"It has been detected that you already have a territory. You can choose the following modes. "
"A: Inheritance. Pass down the control authority of the territory boundary marker to other evolvers. If you do this, you will lose the control authority of this territory boundary marker. "
"B: Annexation. Integrate the territory boundary marker with your territory boundary marker (with your territory as the main body) and add a new piece of land to your territory."
"C: Plunder. You can destroy this territory (equivalent to a territory self-destruction) and then extract a spirit vein seed. The level of the spirit vein seed is directly proportional to the resource reserves of the territory. "
Bai Xiaowen hesitated for a moment.
Option A could be eliminated first.
Although he had a trustworthy partner, the current White Phoenix Territory did not have enough strength to defend two territories. It was already not easy for Bai Xiaowen to defend the White Phoenix Territory. He was indeed unable to do two things at once.
As for options B and C, Bai Xiaowen did not understand much. He first inquired about the "spirit vein seed" and received a reply:
"The spirit vein seed is a strange object with a high degree of spirit energy. It can be planted in a suitable vein and can produce a new spirit crystal vein within three months. The content of the spirit crystal vein is determined by the level of the spirit vein seed. "
"It's indeed similar to what I thought …"
Option C: Plunder could add a spirit crystal vein to the territory. It would be profitable in three months and would be a long-term source of income in the future.
However, the spirit crystal vein would eventually be exhausted. Moreover, the level of the spirit vein seed was related to the "resource reserves" … The Great Tang Territory should have been mined for a long time, right? He really could not guarantee how many resources could be saved.
Option B: Annexation mode could increase the land area of the White Phoenix Territory, which meant that there would be more space for population. At present, it seemed to be the best choice.
However, Bai Xiaowen still inquired.
"Under the annexation mode, will the Great Tang Territory's area be added to the White Phoenix Territory? Including the people, buildings, and facilities of the Great Tang Territory? "
The rules of the Spiritual Realm prompted, "As this is the first time you have activated the annexation mode, you will obtain 100% of the Great Tang territory's land area. The buildings, facilities, and citizens of the Great Tang Territory will all be merged into the White Phoenix Territory. "
Citizens had no human rights. If they did not run away before the owner of the Boundary Stone changed, they could only accept the new lord's jurisdiction.
Bai Xiaowen quickly asked, "The first annexation? What if there is a second or third annexation? "
The Spiritual Realm's law prompted, "The second time you annex another territory, you will only obtain 50% of the land area of the annexed territory. The third time you annex another territory, the land area obtained will be reduced to 30%."
"What happens after the third time?" Bai Xiaowen complained inwardly. The rules of the Spiritual Realm were really that one would not say anything if one did not ask.
"For the fourth time and more, you will only get 10% of the land area if you annex other territories."
"Then, is there a limit to the number of times I can use Annexation Mode?"
"The maximum is ten times."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes to show that he understood. The benefits of annexation were getting smaller and smaller. After the fourth annexation, there was only one-tenth of the total. Thinking about it, it was normal. Otherwise, the core territories of those large organizations would continue to expand without limit.
After understanding this, Bai Xiaowen decisively chose Annexation Mode.
Suddenly, the Boundary Stone of the Great Tang Territory emitted a dazzling light, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky.
All the citizens of Chang 'an City and the entire Great Tang Territory stared blankly at the pillar of light that shot up into the sky above the forbidden room of the palace.
In an instant, the pillar of light spread out and engulfed every inch of land and every citizen of the Great Tang Territory.
The citizens of the Great Tang Territory had never seen such a strange scene and were speechless for a moment. Then, the feeling of weightlessness came, as if they were in an elevator that was falling rapidly but had no end.
After an unknown period of time, the "elevator" finally stopped and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared.
The Great Tang Territory had already crossed the universe and arrived near the universe where the White Phoenix Territory was located.
Bai Xiaowen's consciousness once again extended infinitely. In his "vision", he could see the White Phoenix Domain in the universe's starry sky. Similarly, a white pillar of light rushed out from the sky above the imperial palace, completely enveloping the White Phoenix Domain.
Two balls of dazzling white light gathered together with a loud bang.
When the light dissipated, the territory of the White Phoenix Territory had already expanded greatly — the Great Tang Territory had already become a new piece of land in the White Phoenix Territory.
The White Phoenix Territory's protective array had also simultaneously extended to the new piece of land. As for the Great Tang Territory's original protective array, it naturally vanished into thin air.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Streaks of dark gold spiritual materials flew out and gathered in front of Bai Xiaowen. These were the spiritual materials that the Great Tang Territory had originally used to set up the protective array, and it also included a dark gold spiritual energy source.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen knew how precious these things were. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to recycle and reuse them, so he immediately put them away.
"Wow … We did it!" Cecilia exclaimed in surprise.
"Captain, we have to quickly pacify the citizens of the Great Tang Territory," Han Xu reminded.
Bai Xiaowen agreed. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left eye. He groaned and sat down with his hand covering his eye.
"Captain/Dior, what's wrong with you?!"
Han Xu and Cecilia stepped forward at the same time and supported Bai Xiaowen.
"I'm fine …" Bai Xiaowen covered his left eye and waved his hand. "Old Han, stay here and protect me. Cecilia, take the Five Element Flags and maintain order. "
Cecilia agreed and hurriedly led everyone out.
Han Xu helped Bai Xiaowen sit down.
Bai Xiaowen revealed a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine …"
His consciousness sank into his Knowledge Sea.
In front of Bai Xiaowen, that familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared again.
"Dad." Bai Xiaowen called out more smoothly this time.
Bai Yuantang was still wearing his white coat. His left hand was in his pocket as he waved his right hand and said, "Strictly speaking, what's in front of you now is just a thought of mine. When you were in the vocational trial, I left three thoughts in the Eye of Evolution and set up different triggering mechanisms … I didn't expect you to trigger the first one so quickly."
"The triggering mechanism for the first thought is for me to annex a territory?" Bai Xiaowen was stunned. "That's too harsh. If I hadn't annexed other territories, wouldn't the traps you left behind be useless?"
Bai Yuantang smiled. "Although the threads of fate around you are complicated, I can still see some of them clearly. Annexing territories may seem like an accidental event, but it's actually inevitable … The reason I was surprised was because of the speed of your triggering. "
After a pause, Bai Yuantang's expression became serious. "Now, let's get to the point. You're going to retrieve something … related to Xiaohua. "
