Unlike the darkness outside, the Cave of Time is bathed in golden light, and without a suitable place to live, even sleeping becomes a problem.
"Let's all stay here and enjoy the year! Let's develop our territory properly!" Ye Chen said with a smile to everyone.
Unlike other lords, he didn't need any resources at this time; all he needed to do was develop his territory.
The purified planet Kalan was a desolate wasteland, with vast tracts of newly cultivated land beneath its feet, while Ye Chen needed to vigorously develop the population.
"A thousand or so people living on a planet the size of Blue Star, it really is sparsely populated. I'm afraid real estate development won't be possible," Ye Chen scoffed, silently completing today's recruitment work before beginning to replan the territory.
The territory he had previously planned was only for his own use. Now that the territory has been completely integrated into the planet Kalan, he needs to re-plan how to develop this planet.
Territory planning is an essential course that every lord must learn throughout their life.
"Divide the planet into two poles? The Silver Leaf Laurel Tree and the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree each occupy one side, and then place Fengdu City at the intersection of the two poles?" Ye Chen kept planning on the paper. The planning of the Yin and Yang poles was extremely complicated. After all, they are different attributes. It can't be like on Blue Star, where they are directly the North and South Poles, with Fengdu in the middle directly forming an equator. That would be like playing with a ball.
"If only I could make the silver-leafed laurel tree and the red-sun parasol tree into a shape that rises in the east and sets in the west!" he said, clutching the tree in distress, then suddenly paused, startled.
This approach doesn't seem like it's entirely unfeasible?
Ordinary lords cannot do this because they only possess a territory, but he is different; he possesses an entire planet!
What is the biggest difference between a planet and a territory? Is it the size of the territory? No, it's the planetary origin that enables the creation of subordinate territories.
"Using the planet's origin, we can create two smaller territories to support the growth of the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree and the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree. Then, we can have these two territories revolve around the entire planet within a territory shield. Wouldn't that be creating an artificial sun and moon?" Ye Chen slapped his thigh, thinking excitedly.
"Other high-ranking lords only use their territories for temporary travel or rest stops. If they are flying around two planets, it will be more troublesome to move around, especially when traveling through space."
"But if I only use two smaller territories, surrounding the territory shield, then this problem doesn't exist. Within the territory shield, it's still a single entity!"
Without hesitation, Ye Chen immediately began to extract the planetary essence of Kalan Star. This was the life source of the planet, and if a large amount of it were extracted, the entire planet would likely be destroyed.
Fortunately, Ye Chen didn't need to extract much of the planet's essence, and the scope of use was within the planet Kalan, or even the land of Kalan, except that he was flying in its sky.
Therefore, the consumption of the source is not significant, and it will not have a major impact on the entire planet of Kalan.
What truly impacted the entire planet's ecosystem were the sudden appearance of the sun and moon.
When Ye Chen transplanted the two giant trees and set their expected orbits, the terrain of the entire planet Kalan immediately began to fluctuate.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, gales... for a full month, various natural disasters occurred one after another, and Ye Chen was even unable to arrange for his clan to come down and develop this planet.
It wasn't until a month later that the situation gradually improved, and the planet's terrain gradually returned to calm.
Ye Chen looked around and saw that the landscape was completely different from before. Some places that were originally high mountains may have now become the sea, and the original trenches may have become plains.
Fortunately, the overall terrain has finally stabilized. As long as the orbits of the two subordinate territories do not change significantly, they will no longer have a major impact on the entire planet.
The arrival of the three-legged golden crow gave the planet Kalan a true sun, and the true meaning of rising in the east and setting in the west. The concepts of the North and South Poles and the equator also appeared in a vague way.
Unfortunately, the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree lacks a figure who can balance Yin and Yang. Although Ye Xi is the daughter of Taiyin, she is still slightly inferior to the real three-legged golden crow.
This also means that the moon on Kalan is much weaker than the sun. If the three-legged golden crow were to open its eyes to illuminate the world, the temperature of the entire planet would continue to rise, and drought would follow.
"There's no other way for now, so this is the only option. As for Fengdu City, we can just place it somewhere in the temperate zone. We don't need the Taiji Array right now, so leaving it there won't have much of an impact!" Ye Chen thought for a moment and then stopped worrying about the location of Fengdu City. With the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree and the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree taking off, it didn't matter where Fengdu City was anymore.
As for his own territory, he placed it on the highest mountain on the planet and named it the Pillar of Heaven.
"As a lord, I should at least have some class!" Ye Chen looked down at the vast land below and nodded with satisfaction.
The new layout of the entire planet Kalan took shape. As the planet's terrain gradually stabilized, Ye Xi and the others landed from the "sun" and the "moon" and began cultivating crops.
As for Taishan and the others, they officially became the land gods of the planet, each occupying a mountain or a piece of land to protect it.
Of course, they also became the main managers and breeders of crops and livestock on their respective lands, since there was currently no population on Ye Chen's territory and the genders were somewhat too homogeneous.
He had exchanged quite a few crops before coming in using the Inheritance Stone Tablet. Using merit points to exchange for low-level crops was very cheap. The dark creatures he had killed earlier were enough for him to get a big bag of seeds.
The real challenge lies in how to truly cultivate these crops, and even enable them to evolve into crops with energy and quality.
Only such fruits can have an effect on the clan and awakened ones, enhancing their strength. This is also the main reason why awakened ones are willing to serve the lord.
After all, without the inheritance stone tablet, they couldn't even accumulate merit on their own. They could only kill some dark creatures and exchange their corpses for money.
"We can plant more basic crops. We're raising several young dragons! And we can store up what we can't eat and sell it later!" Ye Chen said to the Silver Moon Elves who were planting. Naturally, they were good at this kind of thing. There were even Eve and others who were good at nature magic casting spells to speed up the growth of these crops.
