"As long as the territory does not fall, I will not die..." Lin Feng muttered to himself, his fingertips turning slightly white from the force.

This was not just a guarantee of survival, but a promise bordering on immortality!

As long as Beacon Fire Village existed, his physical body on Blue Star would be absolutely safe!

And that once-a-year ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) resurrection opportunity was equivalent to giving him an incredibly precious golden immunity medallion!

And the Lord Hero Template! His Warlord class bonus alone was as high as 50%, and with the 30% enhancement to base attributes, the total three-dimensional bonus reached a staggering 240% threshold!

Hero Template! This absolutely meant growth potential and powerful abilities far exceeding those of ordinary lords!

There was no reason to hesitate.

"Bind!" Lin Feng thought silently, while focusing his intent on the Village Establishment Order.

The dark gold scroll in his hand suddenly erupted with blinding light, transforming into countless streams of warm golden radiance that, as if possessing life, rushed eagerly into Lin Feng's chest.

【Binding Village Establishment Order... Detected binder class: Warlord (Primary)... Commencing attribute enhancement... Level reset to 10...】

【Calculating template... Base attribute enhancement 30%... Warlord class bonus 50%... Total three-dimensional bonus reached 240%... Conditions met...】

【Commencing generation... Lord Hero Template!】

【Estimated completion time: 23 hours 59 minutes...】

An indescribable, massive surge of energy exploded within him, washing over every inch of his muscles, bones, and even his soul.

He could clearly feel his strength, endurance, and agility climbing and undergoing qualitative changes at a terrifying speed!

Meanwhile, a complex and clear translucent interface unfolded before his eyes—【Beacon Fire Village Territory Management Panel】.

Resisting the urge to explore the panel immediately, Lin Feng knew that the most important thing now was to complete the basic construction of the territory.

Following his previous plan, he quickly operated the management panel:

Core area designation: Council Hall, workshop area (blacksmith shop, tailor shop, etc.), warehouse area, and the open space in the southeast corner waiting for the special barracks to be placed.

Non-core area designation: residential area in the southwest, the planned commercial area in the northwest, and all areas outside the core zone.

Resident title conferment:

Honorary title conferment: Zhao Hu, Shadow Snake, Tie Dun, Arrow Eye, Uncle Wu, Scarface Liu, A Wang, and life professionals.

Ordinary title conferment: all other Awakened members and refugee NPCs in the camp.

Having completed all this, Lin Feng's gaze fell on 【Item Five】.

【Please place the special troop building】

A new prompt appeared.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, pushed open the window, and looked down at the camp in the night. The workshop area and warehouses were in the northeast, the furnace fires not yet extinguished;

To the southwest was the initially planned residential area, with shacks scattered about;

In the middle was the open space and training ground in front of the Council Hall; the northwest was designated as the future commercial area, currently still empty.

The area to the southeast, which was relatively high and dry, was still an open space.

"That's the place."

With a thought, a brilliant golden light suddenly illuminated the space above that open area in the southeast!

The golden light was not blinding, but it carried a murderous majesty as heavy as a mountain and as sharp as a spear!

The light quickly outlined and solidified, transforming into a simple and unadorned military camp covering about half a mu, built entirely from dark cyan boulders!

The style of the barracks was extremely concise and rugged, with no superfluous decorations, thick walls, and above the lintel, a single large ancient seal character was carved—【Qin】!

A desolate, iron-blooded, and strictly disciplined atmosphere permeated from the barracks, instantly enveloping the southeast region, making even the sound of the nearby Black Water River seem to quiet down for a moment.

【Special troop building: Great Qin Elite Camp (Unique) has been placed】

【Currently trainable troop type: Weakened Great Qin Garrison Soldier (Infantry)】

【Training requirements: energy crystals, metal, qualified refugees or Awakened】

【Training time: 10 days】

【Troop characteristics: Strictly disciplined, fearless of death】

【Unlocking higher-tier troops requires increasing territory level and meeting specific conditions】

Great Qin Elite Camp! It was indeed it!

After doing all this, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, pushed open the door, and walked down the stairs.

When he walked out of the Council Hall, he found that Zhao Hu, Shadow Snake, and the other five were already waiting outside.

The expressions on their faces were extremely complex—shock, ecstasy, disbelief; some even had reddened eyes and their bodies were trembling slightly.

Just a moment ago, a grand, majestic voice, as if branded directly into the depths of their souls, had sounded in all of their minds simultaneously:

【daxia national destiny cauldron Announcement: New legal territory establishment detected】

【Territory name: Beacon Fire Village】

【Lord: Lin Feng】

【Territory level: Village】

【Location: Canglang Plain Riverbend Land】

【This territory has obtained the recognition and connection of the National Fortune Cauldron】

【Within the territory, qualified Awakened can safely travel back and forth to Blue Star】

Immediately after, each of them felt something extra in their bodies—it was the permission brand of an 【Honorary Resident】.

They could clearly perceive the "boundaries" of the territory and could sense which areas were accessible and which were forbidden zones.

Then, everyone's gaze fell upon Lin Feng, who had walked out of the Council Hall.

Moonlight and firelight intertwined, falling upon this young lord.

He seemed unchanged, but those eyes... in the depths of their calm.

It was as if galaxies were flowing and mountains were rising and falling, possessing a majesty they could not understand but instinctively wanted to submit to.

That was a kind of "momentum". The momentum of a lord.

"Lin... Leader..." Zhao Hu opened his mouth, his voice actually choked with emotion. This iron-willed man's eyes instantly clouded with moisture.

He knew better than anyone what a territory recognized by the National Fortune Cauldron meant!

It meant that they, these drifting "lonely ghosts", had finally been accepted by the motherland again and finally had a... coordinate that could be called "home"!

"Boss!" Tie Dun let out a howl, dropped to one knee with a thud, and slammed his newly acquired great shield onto the ground with a "clang". "My Tie Dun is following you for the rest of my life! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

The flesh on his face trembled, and tears and snot actually came down together; it was the pure ecstasy of finding a home after surviving a disaster.

Arrow Eye's hand holding his new bow trembled slightly; he said nothing, just bowed deeply, very deeply, to Lin Feng.

Uncle Wu was streaming with tears, muttering repeatedly: "Going home... I can go home... Old woman, son... I... I can go back..."

Because his territory had been destroyed, he had been out of contact with his family on Blue Star for a year.

Scarface Liu and A Wang also had reddened eyes, unable to contain their excitement.

Perhaps they didn't have the same deep obsession as Zhao Hu or Uncle Wu, but they understood the significance of the "Honorary Resident" status in this Nightmare World just as well! It meant order, it meant safety, it meant the future!

Shadow Snake stood in the shadows slightly behind the crowd, saying nothing, nor did she reveal her emotions like the others.

But her eyes, which were always cold, were now staring unblinkingly at Lin Feng.

The firelight danced in her eyes, reflecting that young figure standing on the steps, as if supporting a night sky all by himself.

In the ruins of Qingshi County, his fierce courage as he faced and killed a Lv13 Great Qin Garrison Soldier with just himself and a spear.

The night raid on the Black Wolf Den, his decisiveness in strategizing and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

Now, he had even obtained the legendary Village Establishment Order, transforming this piece of bandit ruins into an official territory recognized by the National Fortune Cauldron overnight!

A miracle? No, this had already exceeded the scope of a miracle.

In her understanding, this was an almost impossible task to accomplish.

The rarity and difficulty of obtaining a Village Establishment Order were enough to make countless strong men waste their entire lives.

But with him, it seemed that all difficulties and obstacles would be easily crushed before that dark red spear and those calm eyes.

Omnipotent.

This word popped into Shadow Snake's mind without warning.

She pursed her lips slightly.
