After an unknown amount of time, the pain in my body finally gradually disappeared.
The golden light was still there, but Ye Chen was already rejecting its arrival.
The three-level jump was already too much for his body to handle; a four-level jump would be a complete waste.
He had no doubt that if he advanced to the fourth-tier lord today, the terrifying baptismal power would destroy him directly, and the entire baptism would be completely wasted.
"It seems that advancing too quickly isn't a good thing!" Ye Chen thought, lying on the ground with a slight twitch.
The real difficulty in advancing a lord lies in advancing from rank 1 to rank 4. As for advancing from rank 1 to rank 3, there is no difficulty; the only difference is the size of the territory.
Ye Chen was very lucky. The advanced Five Elements Formation he initially used had already exceeded the limit in the later stages of the planet Kalan, making his territory no weaker than some newly-level 4 lords. This was the reason why he was able to jump three levels.
Moreover, the most difficult requirement for advancing from Tier 3 to Tier 4 is simply the transformation from territory to planet. It requires converting the lord's flat and round territory into a planet, and Ye Chen has already accomplished this.
In other words, he already possesses the qualifications to advance to the fourth-tier lord, but he simply doesn't dare to do so at this moment.
Because his body cannot withstand it, if he rashly advances to the fourth rank, his body will inevitably collapse during the baptism, and the advancement of the entire territory may be affected.
"My lord! Are you alright?" Seeing that Ye Chen had finally calmed down, many of his relatives gathered around and asked with concern.
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and slowly stood up from the ground. He staggered and Ye Xi wanted to help him up, but he stopped her and insisted on standing on his own.
"Don't worry! I'm fine! In fact, I'm perfectly fine!" Ye Chen smiled, raised his right hand and clenched it slightly, feeling the surging power within.
"Is this the power of the third tier?" Ye Chen thought to himself, feeling a sense of power capable of destroying the world. This was an illusion caused by the surge in his strength.
It took him a while to calm his excited heart before he checked his own attributes.
Name: Ye Chen (Bone Age: 18)
Race: Earthlings; Occupation: None
Level: 3
Attributes: Constitution 40, Strength 40, Agility 40, Intelligence 69, Spirit 110
Territory Level: Tier 3 (Territory Diameter: 2000KM)
Number of Familia Nests Currently Owned: 2 (Maximum 9+1)
Advanced requirements: Territory transformed into a planetary form, possessing a complete ecological cycle, and having at least two clan nests.
...
Compared to when he first became a new lord, Ye Chen's attributes have undergone tremendous changes. His intelligence attribute has reached nearly 70 points, and his mental strength has reached a terrifying 110 points, which is enough to make Ye Chen comparable to a 4th-tier lord in terms of mental strength.
Of course, his territory is already comparable to that of a fourth-tier lord, but he is still lacking in the number of his followers.
Aside from its own attributes, the biggest difference compared to before was in the clan's nests. Only then did Ye Chen realize that there was a limit to the number of clan nests a lord could load.
"The advanced Five Elements Formation has been promoted to Lord level, so it seems to have the ability to load 9 clan nests. I wonder how many nests a low-level Five Elements Formation can have? As for the +1 at the end, it should be the extra one I obtained with my divine power!" Ye Chen thought to himself, and soon found the answer.
“I remember that starting from the fourth-tier lord, there is a requirement for the number of clan nests for each advancement. If there is a limit to the number of clan nests that a low-level five-element array can load, then isn’t it destined that one cannot become a high-tier lord?” Ye Chen was shocked by his own conjecture.
If that's the case, then many low-ranking lords will remain at this stage forever, and will make their best efforts, even at any cost, to advance further.
"My lord, quite a few people have come to see you. Would you like to go and meet them?" At this moment, a Silver Moon Elf walked in and whispered a few words in Ye Ling's ear. Ye Ling then walked over and asked.
Hearing her words, Ye Chen finally came to his senses and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, quite a few lords had already approached. The vast, sky-covering territory was extremely terrifying, giving him the feeling that he had been buried by the planet and the territory.
However, looking at the golden light that had not yet completely dissipated around the territory, Ye Chen shook his head.
"No rush. The baptism of the lord is complete, but the reward for becoming a formal lord has not yet been received. Let's go see them after everything is finished!" Ye Chen said calmly.
From the moment he merged with the planet Kalan, he knew that his appearance would cause a huge sensation, attract countless lords and attention, and be showered with offers of favors.
Therefore, he doesn't need to rush now. The ones who are really anxious are these veteran lords. After all, the temptation of jumping three levels and the temptation of a planet in one step are enough to drive these people crazy.
“Okay!” Ye Ling nodded and ignored the lords outside. Instead, she followed Ye Chen and waited for the golden light above the territory to descend.
The previous territory advancement and lord baptism are just necessary processes after becoming a formal lord, while what follows are the rewards for becoming a formal lord first.
The sooner you become a formal lord, and the sooner you become a senior formal lord, the richer the rewards in the Trial Space will be.
These rewards may apply to the lord, the clan, or the territory... No one knows what the reward will be until it is officially given out.
Based on years of experience, everyone could only conclude that higher-level lords were definitely stronger than lower-level lords, and the earlier they appeared, the richer the rewards would be.
"Judging from this situation, the reward should apply to the territory!" As the golden light slowly descended, Ye Chen and the many lords outside also had their answer.
The place where these golden rays of light landed was where the reward would be given. Since they landed on the territory, it was clear that this reward was related to the territory.
Perhaps it's some kind of growth buff, or the expansion of territory, or the improvement of the ecosystem... different lords will have all sorts of reward methods.
When Ye Chen sensed his reward, he was taken aback. It wasn't that the reward was bad; in fact, it was a reward that many low-level lords dreamed of. But for him, it was somewhat of a waste.
"Number of loaded Familia Nests increased by 1?"
