[Territory area increased by 50,000 square meters]

Reputation increased by 240 points.

After being promoted three times, the territory's area reached 110,000 square meters.

Compared to the past, it has almost doubled.

The distance between buildings has become more spacious.

Unlike before, the swarm of insects no longer seemed a little crowded when passing through.

"110,000 square meters, now that's starting to look like a territory."

"If there are more buildings in the future, there will be no need to worry about not having enough space to put them because of overcrowding."

Su Bai transmitted his thoughts and commanded five spine-spined crawlers and three spore-like crawlers to be uprooted, moved to the edge of the territory, and then landed and took root.

Just then, the system's mechanical synthesized voice suddenly sounded.

[Hint: Reputation points have reached 1220]

[Note: Your reputation title has been upgraded]

[Note: Current title has been changed to - Rising Fame]

[Warning: This will attract the attention of local forces within a 100,000-meter radius!]

"The reputation title has evolved from being unknown, a newcomer, and somewhat famous to now being well-known."

"It has already been able to attract local forces within 100,000 meters."

"However, there's nothing to worry about."

"With the current strength of the swarm, it is sufficient to deal with it."

Su Bai's gaze was intense, his eyes filled with confidence.

He began upgrading the building.

It cost 130,000 wood, 100,000 stone, 100,000 iron blocks, and 20,000 primary energy gems to upgrade the hatchery's level three times.

A brilliant purple light shone forth.

The peristaltic epidermis of the hatchery grows rapidly, causing its volume to expand.

Ten minutes later.

[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, the hatchery has been successfully upgraded]

[Hatchery level has reached Lv18]

Following that, they spent 80,000 wood, 60,000 stones, 70,000 iron blocks, and 20,000 low-level energy gems to upgrade the main nest's level by three levels.

The main nest surged wildly, and the tentacles rooted in the ground grew rapidly.

Its volume has become much larger.

Eight minutes later.

[Congratulations, Lord Su Bai, your main nest has been successfully upgraded!]

[Main Nest Level Reached Lv18]

The number of larvae hatching increases by 360 every 24 hours.

Currently, a total of 1,000 larvae can hatch every 24 hours.

The hatchery and main nest are more important than the other buildings.

Therefore, every time Su Bai upgrades his territory, he prioritizes upgrading these two buildings.

The number of souls is over three million.

But Su Bai was not in a hurry to recruit.

After Abathur completes the evolution of the cockroaches, he may need to spend souls to recruit new units.

Good steel should be used where it's most needed.

So, I'll save them up for now.

Meanwhile, system notifications kept popping up in front of them, reporting that Kerrigan and Dehaka had encountered a horde of beasts and won a great victory.

Looking at the continuously increasing number of Souls and Primary Energy Gems on the resource panel, Su Bai couldn't help but feel great and a sense of satisfaction.

Unable to resist, he ran into the manor, picked up a roasted duck, and immediately started gnawing on it.

He wasn't worried at all about attacking Lord Lowell in the United States.

Because each evolution of the swarm brings new units that are extremely powerful and have unexpected functions and uses.

As the saying goes, true happiness is built on the suffering of others.

Therefore, Su Bai sat at the door of the small stone house, opened the world chat channel, and began to watch the complaints and grievances of the lords from various countries.

[Baka! The local forces are bullying me, and now the beast hordes are bullying me too! How can my centaur troops be so useless?]

[You little devils, you deserve it! May you perish soon and go see your Amaterasu!]

The drop rate for high-quality Lord's Marks seems incredibly low; energy gems are practically nonexistent.

[Yes, I'm also of excellent quality. I'm constantly struggling with resource consumption, and my speed in upgrading my territory and buildings is slower than a snail's pace.]

[Alright, you should be content. How are all those lords of average quality supposed to survive?]

I really envy those who possess high-level lord marks; not only is the drop rate high, but their troops are also incredibly strong.

[Damn, it took me a whole year to level up my territory to level 10, it was so difficult.]

[Seeking a sugar daddy/sugar baby. I am a female lord, fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs. If you are a powerful lord, I am willing to become your vassal.]

This is the Land of Redemption, not Earth. What use are beautiful women here? Resources and treasures are the most precious things.

Family, does anyone understand?! I live in constant fear, terrified that monsters or local forces will invade my territory.

[Comparison is the thief of joy; those with high-quality lord marks must be living a very comfortable life.]

How can I quickly obtain energy gems?!

Sigh! Being a lord is really not an easy job.

As Su Bai read the speeches of the various lords, his mood became even more cheerful.

Compared to other lords, he almost never experiences resource shortages.

The upgrade speed of territories and buildings is extremely fast.

In addition, the unique interstellar insectoid race swept away the surrounding beast hordes and local forces, making him safer in his territory than on Earth.

Most of the lords from various countries came here to undergo tribulation.

Every day is full of crises and challenges.

On the contrary, Su Bai was living a very comfortable life in the Land of Redemption.

Before we knew it.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Abathur led the swarm back to its territory.

The corpse of a fire dragon lay on the backs of dozens of zebras.

With a bang.

The springtails worked together to throw it into the entrance of the evolution chamber.

“My lord, the corpse of this fire dragon has a complete genetic sequence and can be used for the evolution of cockroaches,” Abathur said.

"here you go!"

Su Bai stepped forward, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"The evolution of the swarm never stops; only by constantly adapting can it survive. This is my lifelong mission and the duty I was born with."

Abathur spoke each word with great seriousness.

"When will the evolution be complete?" Su Bai asked.

"Tonight, I will work through the night, dissecting, crushing bones, extracting the essence, and fusing genes. The results will be available by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Abathur was in high spirits, his compound eyes gleaming with intense excitement.

Clearly, he was even more eager, excited, and happy than Su Bai about the evolution of the swarm.

"Thank you for your hard work, Abathur!"

Su Bai stepped forward and patted Abathur's carapace.

"There's no time to lose, I must begin now: smelting the corpse of the Flame Wyvern!"

Abathur entered the evolution chamber.

The Hydralisk stepped forward and used its Tri-Edged Scythe to shatter the Flame Wyvern into eight pieces, sending them into the pool of the Evolution Chamber.
