Su Ye watched as Lilith led Talys and the other Gene Forbidden Army members out of the Supreme Protocol hall.
What Lilith could think of, Su Ye naturally thought of as well.
"Is Absolute Order derived from one's own will?" Su Ye couldn't help but think about Talys's behavior.
It seemed that was indeed the case; troops of the Order faction seemed to be derivatives of the will or philosophy of some existence, and now he had become that will and philosophy.
That was why Talys behaved this way, not looking like a troop of the Order faction at all, let alone one of Absolute Order.
To Talys, his every thought and idea were Absolute Order and rules.
"So that's how it is." Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief; he had been a bit worried, but now it seemed there was no need for concern at all.
In other words, in Lilith's eyes he was the Supreme Chaos, while in Talys's eyes he was Absolute Order. Did the two conflict?
They didn't, because they were both him; it was just that the meaning he represented was different in the eyes of Lilith and Talys. The only similarity was that they were both loyal to Su Ye.
"Is this what constant loyalty is? I love it." With a smile on his face, Su Ye walked out of the hall.
Looking toward the nearby shore of the Spirit Source Lake, Lilith was leading the Original Sin Fallen Angels to coexist peacefully with the Gene Forbidden Army brought by Talys.
He, meanwhile, began to examine the two wonders he had obtained.
Name: Wine Pool and Meat Forest
Rank: Rare Treasure
Area: 500 square meters - 1000 square meters
Trait 1: Infinite Food (Infinitely generates any food or drink at Diamond-rank or below.)
Trait 2: Automatic Cleaning
Trait 3: Loyalty +10
Trait 4: Happiness +10
PS: With this, you no longer have to worry about food issues. You can freely switch between two architectural modes: Ancient and Modern.
...
"As expected of a wonder at the Rare Treasure rank." Su Ye clicked his tongue as he looked at the quaint architectural model in his hand.
Being able to generate Diamond-rank or lower drinks and food was incredible. Ordinary food usually had no rank, while black iron-rank food had special effects, such as strengthening the body or spiritual power.
Not to mention Diamond-rank food and drinks, provided in infinite supply.
Food and drinks with special attributes were sold at extremely high prices in the Lord World. Food was scarce, mainly because the shelf life was short or nonexistent, but alcohol was a hard currency that could basically be stored for a long time.
"Should I sell it?" Su Ye hesitated for a moment, but then chose to give up on the idea.
Things like alcohol were monopolized by large chambers of commerce. If he tried to sell this stuff himself, he'd be courting death. There were only two paths if he actually went to sell it.
One was to be recruited as a lackey, and the other was death.
Those large chambers of commerce wouldn't tolerate such an existence. Don't forget, this world really did have lords who became gods. Those large chambers of commerce were actually massive commercial interest groups formed by various families allied together.
It wouldn't be strange for a god-level lord to be backing them. This kind of thing was currently a monopoly in the lord market, and Su Ye couldn't afford to play that game yet.
"Forget it, I shouldn't think about those things yet, they're too far off. This isn't a novel, it's reality. Those large chambers of commerce would truly rather kill the innocent than let a threat escape. If there's any suspicion, they don't care about evidence or anything like that." Su Ye shook his head.
This wasn't being cowardly, it was reality. At the very least, before Su Ye had enough confidence, he didn't have the capital to fall out with them, let alone the qualifications to break the unspoken rules.
Besides infinite food, the other traits were also good. Automatic cleaning was a good thing; otherwise, Su Ye would have to consider how to handle the waste in his territory.
As for loyalty, it was optional for Su Ye, but for other lords, it was something they could only dream of. Su Ye didn't need it because the loyalty of the troops under his command was already maxed out and would never drop—they were absolutely dead-loyal.
Happiness—this thing was quite mystical. How should he put it? It could reduce dissatisfaction among the residents in the territory. Logically, this shouldn't appear yet; it should only show up after passing the novice lord stage.
A lord's subordinates couldn't all be troops; there were also ordinary residents. This involved future development, and it was still too early for that.
Su Ye looked at the quaint building in his hand and then placed it behind the lords mansion. With a thought from Su Ye, the quaint building transformed into a modern villa.
A building covering five hundred square meters appeared behind the lords mansion, but Su Ye didn't go to see it immediately. Instead, he planned to go later and check the last wonder first.
A golden, illusory palace appeared in Su Ye's hand, radiating a holy light. On the murals of the palace were statues of various brave and fearless Valkyries.
Su Ye immediately checked its details.
Name: Hall of Valor
Rank: Unique
Trait 1: Valor (Territory troop attributes increased by 100%!)
Trait 2: Fearless (Territory troop morale raised to the limit, never declining!)
Trait 3: Sacrifice (Whenever one unit of the territory's troops is sacrificed, the attributes of the remaining troops increase by 1%!)
Trait 4: Loyalty (Territory troop loyalty +20!)
Trait 5: Humility (Territory troop recovery speed increased by 100%, including physical, spiritual, and mental energy!)
Trait 6: Imperishable (Territory troops are immune to one instant-death or fatal attack, forcing health to lock!)
Trait 7: Undying (Territory troops have one chance to resurrect every day!)
PS: Valor, Fearless, Sacrifice, Loyalty, Humility, Undying, Imperishable!!!
"Good, good, good. Is this how we're playing? If that's the case, then I won't be polite." Su Ye looked at the Hall of Valor in his hand. Ridiculous, it was just too damn ridiculous.
Originally, the troops under Su Ye's command were all stat monsters—they had whatever stats they needed, and they were the game-breaking kind.
And now, combined with the mechanics of the Hall of Valor...
Fine, fine. Playing like this, huh? Stats and mechanics merged into one.
Immunity to one instant-death or fatal attack, buffing teammates after death, and a resurrection chance every day... Good, good, good. If this were on someone else, Su Ye would have cursed them out long ago.
But this was himself, so that was fine. It was very reasonable, wasn't it?
Su Ye took a deep breath and placed the Hall of Valor directly into the territory.
The illusory golden palace turned into a streak of light, merging directly into Su Ye's territory. Finally, it manifested as a golden palace behind Su Ye's lords mansion, side-by-side with the Wine Pool and Meat Forest.
"Very good. If anything happens and someone resurrects, they can just go next door to get something to eat. Not bad." Su Ye looked at the golden palace, its light shining over his territory.
"Now I can rest easy. With the attribute buffs from the crystal palace and the Hall of Valor, it's not as simple as one plus one equals two." A faint light gleamed in Su Ye's eyes. Now he could upgrade his lords heart.
