Reaching the fourth level in the realm requires a combination of dedication, resources, and strategic decisions. Among the necessary prerequisites are 300 source crystals and 50,000 magic crystals. While obtaining magic crystals may be relatively easier for some, the accumulation of source crystals demands a significant investment of time and effort. In this article, we delve into the challenges and rewards associated with reaching the fourth level, focusing on the extraordinary journey of an individual named Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming's Exceptional Path
Jiang Ming, a true outlier, managed to gather an impressive amount of both magic and source crystals. Unlike others, he possessed the means to earn substantial funds by renting a booth and offering enticing products. This advantage allowed him to amass a considerable fortune, granting him access to the fourth level while others lagged behind.
It's important to note that the scarcity of products for sale hindered individuals with a surplus of magic crystals from advancing. Jiang Ming's entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen enabled him to capitalize on the lack of competition in the marketplace, thus positioning him as the sole beneficiary of the mall's profits.
The Ascension: Unveiling the Powers
After the arduous journey, Jiang Ming finally achieved the momentous feat of reaching the fourth level. The mystical realm welcomed him with an exhilarating announcement:
"[Consumes 50,000 magic crystals, 300 source crystals, and the territory crystals have been promoted to level 4!]"
With this accomplishment, Jiang Ming gained access to remarkable enhancements and a new array of skills at his disposal. Let's take a closer look at the awe-inspiring details:

The Power of Time and Space: Speed Field
The acquisition of new skills became a defining moment for Jiang Ming. One skill, in particular, stood out—Speed Field. Upon discovering its potential, Jiang Ming eagerly delved into its description:
"[Speed Field: After activation, it can influence the entire territory, altering the flow rate of time by up to three times. It affects all life forms within its range.]"
Jiang Ming was astounded by the skill's incredible support capabilities. Increasing the flow rate of time provided him with a comprehensive advantage, significantly boosting various aspects of his abilities. With time accelerated by a factor of three, his movement speed, attack speed, skill cooldowns, casting speed, and more received an immense boost. It was akin to pressing the fast-forward button, granting him an unprecedented advantage.
Conversely, if applied to enemies, their time flow would be tripled as well. Jiang Ming realized the enormous potential of this skill, capable of amplifying his allies and weakening his adversaries simultaneously. Its effectiveness knew no bounds, making it an invaluable asset in his arsenal.
It's worth noting that, for now, the scope of the skill is limited to his current territory. However, with future upgrades, the range is expected to expand even further, enhancing Jiang Ming's dominance.
Expanding Forces: The Moon Elf Elite
Elsa, one of Jiang Ming's trusted companions, approached him with an urgent report:
"Lord Jiang Ming, all the moon elf elites are stationed at the edge of our territory!"
Acknowledging the situation, Jiang Ming formulated a strategic decision to fortify their defense lines and ensure sufficient reinforcements. Today's allocation of 50 soldier points would be redirected to recruit an additional contingent of moon elves, totaling a formidable force of 12,000. Their rain of arrows would become an impenetrable barrier, thwarting any enemy incursion.
Recognizing the significance of cavalry for specific situations, Jiang Ming made a conscious choice to forego mounts this time. Instead, the moon elves would rely on the defense offered by the Ice Tower. This shift in strategy further solidified their defensive capabilities.
With 10,000 remaining soldier points, Jiang Ming proceeded to recruit the prestigious Brilliant Knights from the Brilliant Cultists. These ninth-order knights would serve as Jiang Ming's personal escort, ensuring his safety in battle. Additionally, his ability to teleport back and forth with a group of two hundred individuals gave him an unparalleled advantage.
"[Consume 100 soldier points, 300 source crystals, successfully train one hundred Brilliant Knights!]"
As another hundred elite warriors joined his forces, Jiang Ming's source crystals dwindled once again, leaving him with a mere 165.
Uncertainty Arises: The Unexpected Invasion
In the midst of preparations and strategic considerations, Jiang Ming received an urgent notification:
"[Ding! Be careful, your territory is being invaded!]"
Perplexed by the timing of the invasion, Jiang Ming remained composed, knowing that his defensive line would hold against any external threats. He had taken precautions to fortify his defenses, ensuring that such an invasion would not lead to territorial loss, as had happened during a goblin attack in the past.
The Enigmatic Intruder: A Familiar Encounter
To the west of Jiang Ming's territory, an uninvited guest had trespassed the borders. The alert triggered due to the presence of an unfamiliar unit that did not belong to the realm. Elsa, accompanied by a group of moon elves, promptly intercepted the intruder.
"Lord Elsa, an individual has breached our territory. However, they seem to pose no immediate threat," reported one of the moon elves.
"Intruding into our territory? Apprehend them and ascertain their intentions," ordered Elsa, keen on ensuring the safety of their realm. The intruder was swiftly captured, eliminating any potential risks. Elsa proceeded to inspect the trespasser, removing their helmet and mask.
To her astonishment, Elsa discovered that the individual shared a common identity—an elf, much like herself. A relatively young elf, the trespasser bore a familiar symbol engraved on their arm.
When Elsa recognized the emblem, she couldn't contain her surprise:
"Elf Queen?"
