The Devil Who Comes Again

Tree Shade City,

The Lord's Castle.

Tang Yu sat in his office. On the side was a transparent floor-to-ceiling window. Looking down from his angle, he could see the city below the mountain, the scaled stairs, and the bustling crowd.

The open view made his mood a lot better.

As a lord, especially a lord in an apocalyptic environment, there were many things that Tang Yu did not need to do personally. He just needed to control the force of the territory in his hands.

However, in his spare time, he picked up the documents handed over by the various departments and browsed through them one by one.

He couldn't not even know his own territory.

The municipal department handed the most documents. Regarding the population of the territory, the construction of buildings, the work of the residents and so on, Tang Yu swept his eyes over them.

He didn't care too much about this. All he needed to know was that the amount of Origin Crystals and various rare resources that the territory earned every day was enough.

If he understood so much, why would he need the officials of the municipal department?

Tang Yu looked at the other side, the report of the Survey Corps.

The role of the Survey Corps was to explore in the wild, ordinary minerals, to investigate the enemy, and so on. It was because of the existence of the Survey Corps that there were many resource sites under Tree Shade City.

The defensive circle only occupied a small portion, and more were distributed throughout the Daxia Kingdom. They needed to rely on airships to transport resources.

The Survey Corps and the garrison corps were the two largest corps on the scale of Tree Shade. Now, the total number of people had exceeded fifty thousand... Perhaps these fifty thousand awakened ones could not beat a Second Order Transcendent like Elaine - at most, they would scatter and flee.

However, it was precisely because of these core forces that some ore veins, high-level woodlands, and other resource points that were very far away from the territory could be controlled.

The stationed corps soldiers were not only to resist the demonic beasts and protect the workers, but also to deter local forces.

Most of the awakened ones in the Daxia Kingdom had heard of Tree Shade's name, but there were many desperados everywhere, especially in the post-apocalyptic environment. It was very difficult to find someone who killed people, robbed goods, and hid in remote areas.

Killing a chicken to warn the monkeys was useless.

It was difficult to spread the news. Even if a chicken was killed, a monkey had to see it!

Early on, there was a garrison squadron stationed in the wilderness.

After being killed by a group of Awakened ones, more than half of the members of the corps died, and all the workers were killed.

Although they later relied on the divination pursuit of the star spirit to avenge the members of the corps under them, they could not recover their losses.

Now...

Tang Yu looked at the group of data in front of him.

Within Tree Shade's defense circle, there were 23 mines and 16 high-level woodlands. This was a safe zone. There were not many members of the garrison corps stationed there, and there was no group that could not bear to provoke them.

Outside the defense circle, there were a total of 146 various mines. There were 95 high-level woodlands, 2 special resource sites, and one that was named "fountain of life". The spring water it produced had the effect of revitalizing and extending one's life.

The other was a fire dragon forest. The production resources were not wood, but fruit from a tree. It was palm-sized and had red stripes all over it. It contained a very violent fire source energy. Although it could not be eaten, it could be thrown out as a one-time use item, possessing extraordinary explosive power. Fire ability users could also absorb the source energy in the fire dragon fruit, allowing themselves to unleash a super powerful attack.

The two resource sites had the most soldiers, but they did not need to be taken care of.

In the other resource sites, the soldiers stationed there ranged from 30 to hundreds of people, led by one to several high-level Awakened ones.

With the combat strength of the members of the Tree Shade Corps, a fully equipped level 10 Awakened was enough to crush the great circle of the people on the road.

Even so,

For more than ten days, there were still as many as 35 resource sites that were attacked. Fortunately, with the equipment of each resource site, it was not difficult to resist.

"And found two traces of the alien race?"

The alien race had always been his main target of attack.

Unfortunately, the alien race was too cunning and good at hiding themselves.

The Survey Corps occasionally found it, but because of their strength, they had no ability to kill the alien race's Transcendents. With the current strength of the Survey Corps, an elite group of a hundred people, with a combined combat skill, could barely fight against ordinary Transcendents, but that was all.

Only by traveling through the air, fann.y, and the others would they be able to kill the foreign race Transcendents.

However, perhaps because Tree Shade's name had already spread through the foreign race circle, when the followers arrived, the higher ups of the foreign race had basically all run away, leaving behind only a few low-tier outsiders who weren't traveling very fast.

The foreign race had gone into hibernation, and the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom were now much more peaceful.

In the other regions on Earth, there were rumors of the foreign race breaking through the human gathering place or fighting against the human race Transcendents.

However, it wasn't a big deal.

With a sacred ground level faction guarding the area, it was clear that there were fewer traces of foreign races.

"I heard that the royal clan of Sair is also hunting foreign races."

Tang Yu rubbed his chin.

In this period of time, the king of the Ten Great Sacred Grounds was indeed the most famous.

Since a few months ago, Sair II Guts had broken through to the second stage of the exceptional state. He had even destroyed the base of a foreign race. The king of Sair had risen to fame, becoming a holy land second only to Tree Shade.

As the first to break through to the second stage of the exceptional state, Guts had attracted many independent Transcendents with his experience of breaking through.

Now that a month had passed, there were already some independent Transcendents who had officially joined the Sair Empire and became a part of the faction.

The report in Tang Yu's hand stated that there were a total of thirty-three Transcendents. Although most of them were ordinary Transcendents, their power and influence were no different.

In the other holy lands, two or three of them added together were not even on the same level as the Purcell Dynasty.

Recently, there was even a rumor that when the rankings of the next ten holy lands were released, the Sair Dynasty would surpass Tree Shade City and be ranked first.

Tang Yu did not care much.

In fact, Tree Shade City also had a few unaffiliated Transcendents from the Fourth Epoch, but he did not deliberately try to rope them in.

There was no need,

Fame was all fake, only strength was real.

Guts was indeed the first person on Earth to break through to the Second Order, but the Sair Royal Family still only had one Second Order Transcendent, while Tree Shade had three to four.

As long as it did not affect his interests, it did not matter.

After going to the Eno Continent and seeing the confrontation between domain realm experts, the world that was about to collapse, and even the aura of a sage... Tang Yu's vision had already been elevated.

If he were to jump around on Earth, he would follow in the footsteps of the Eno Continent sooner or later. Only by walking out and absorbing the essence of various worlds and civilizations would he be able to fight against the Devil Race and the master behind the scenes.

His goal was to let Tree Shade's name resound throughout the endless world.

Tang Yu waved his pen and signed his name on the document. He suddenly frowned and closed his eyes.

He had merged with his territory. In his perception, in a distant place in the world, time and space shook violently.

Ka,

There seemed to be a light sound in his ears. He, who was already familiar with the power of the world, sensed that at this moment, a gap had been broken through in the world barrier of Earth.

Even though, under the influence of the rules, the broken barrier quickly repaired itself.

But without a doubt,

Something came in.
