"Boom~~~" The vast territory gradually merged into Ye Chen's territory, and booming sounds echoed throughout the land.
Fortunately, Ye Chen's territory was maintained by the Lord's Mansion and the intermediate-level Earth Spirit Orb, so it did not collapse. However, the entire territory was in a mess due to the earthquake.
Large numbers of trees and crops collapsed, and poultry and livestock scattered and fled, only to be captured by the Silvermoon Elves.
Two hundred acres, three hundred acres, five hundred acres... the entire territory is expanding at a visible rate.
It eventually stopped at 900 mu, just a little short of becoming a 1,000 mu territory.
At this moment, the remaining territory was severed by a mysterious force and merged into the fat man's territory. Ye Chen then stopped the merging of his territory.
"Hurry! While integrating, set up your Five Elements Cycle Formation. If you're too late, your territory will collapse!" Ye Chen shouted.
The fat man's territory was different from his own, and it was already on the verge of collapse. Forcibly integrating it into the new territory would only hasten its collapse.
Fortunately, when Ye Chen merged into the territory, the fat man had already set up the magic array for the Earth Spirit Orb and the Wood Spirit Orb, and placed the intermediate Earth Spirit Orb and the intermediate Wood Spirit Orb down.
A brief period of soil improvement and vegetation growth occurred across the entire territory; otherwise, his territory would have collapsed the moment it was integrated into the new territory.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" the fat man shouted in his heart, rapidly spreading the array patterns on his hands, throwing magic crystals into it as if they were free.
Setting up the Five Elements Cycle Formation requires a large amount of magic crystals, and the two of them have already given all their magic crystals to Fatty, fearing that they might not have enough.
Even so, the number of magic crystals is still decreasing rapidly at a visible rate.
"I gave him several thousand Tier 1 magic crystals, and about the same number of Tier 2 magic crystals. If I include Tier 3 ones, that should be enough, right?" Ye Chen thought uncertainly.
Normally, placing one Five Elements Spirit Pearl requires the energy of tens of thousands of Tier 1 Magic Crystals. Five of them together would require 50,000 Magic Crystals. Ye Chen hadn't calculated the exact energy value of the Magic Crystals in his hand, but roughly speaking, it should be enough as long as he wasn't too unlucky.
While pondering, the fat man placed his third spirit pearl, this time a mid-grade water spirit pearl. Instantly, a large amount of water vapor surged across the entire territory, and a spring even gushed forth, quickly gathering into a lake.
The placement of the Water Spirit Orb did not make the territory more stable. On the contrary, the floodwaters caused a large amount of soil to be washed away, plunging the entire territory into danger of collapse once again.
"Faster! Faster!" The fat man ignored the situation in the territory and went to the new territory he had just integrated into. He began to prepare to place the fourth spirit orb, this time a fire-type spirit orb.
Seeing the situation on the fat man's side, Ye Chen was extremely anxious. The fusion of the territories had been completed, but the collapse of the territories was also continuing.
If he cannot complete the arrangement of the Five Elements Cycle Formation before the territory completely collapses, he will have to start all over again.
They returned to the original floating island, which was only 10 square meters in size, and began to expand their territory little by little. The five elemental spirit orbs that had already been placed there would be wasted.
"Boom~~~" As the intermediate-level fire spirit orb was placed, a large amount of water vapor rose up across the entire territory, and the temperature suddenly increased. The fat man in the territory immediately felt dizzy.
Fortunately, the lord possessed absolute vitality within his territory. Even as the surrounding vegetation withered and turned yellow from the scorching heat, the fat man persevered and made his way to the last magic circle.
As the territory collapsed, the metal magic circle was gradually completed, with a large number of magic crystals being poured into it. However, when the fat man put in the last magic crystal, he found that the energy was still a little short.
"This?" The fat man felt dizzy. The collapsing territory in front of him had reached the edge of the array pattern. If it continued, even if he gathered enough energy, he would not be able to set up a complete array.
"Fatty! Catch!" Seeing the predicament, Ye Chen, who was standing at the edge of the territory, shouted and took out three magic crystals, tied them to an arrow, and had Ye Ling shoot it over.
This is the Tier 4 magic crystal bomb that the fat man gave him before. After he removed all the detonation devices, it was restored to its original magic crystal form.
The two hadn't originally planned to use these Tier 4 magic crystals, but if they kept them now, the loss would be enormous.
"Bang!" Looking at the arrow stuck beside him, its fletching still swaying, the fat man's eyes regained their light.
"Go to hell! Five Elements Cycle Formation, get it done!" the fat man shouted, pressing down the last intermediate-level Golden Spirit Orb.
Instantly, the entire territory trembled, and the edge of the territory, which was on the verge of collapse, came to a stop.
Immediately afterwards, a fresh scent began to rise in the territory; it was the kind of air that only existed on Earth.
The scorching heat vanished, replaced by softening sand and growth of vegetation, and a thriving scene began to appear across the entire territory.
"It's done! It's done! Brother Chen! I did it!" the fat man shouted, his eyes filled with joy and excitement as he looked at Ye Chen.
"Congratulations!" Ye Chen said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the fat man's territory.
The territory that was once full of gravel and burrows is no more. The gravel has softened at a visible rate and then merged into the soil.
A winding stream flows through the territory, and tiny shoots grow along the riverbank, gradually spreading outwards.
Most importantly, the slowly rising air is essential for a territory to survive in the darkness.
"Hahaha~~~" The fat man looked at the territory around him and kept laughing like an idiot. He never thought that he could become a formal lord with a mid-level spirit pearl. This is something that so many people dream of.
Not only him, but the goblins in the territory were also cheering, for this was a territory that belonged only to them.
Ye Chen didn't disturb them, but turned to look at his own territory.
Even with the support of the intermediate-level Earth Spirit Orb, the Lord's Mansion, and the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree, expanding his territory by 700 acres in one go still brought him considerable pressure.
Basically, the area beyond 500 mu is already a wasteland, essentially uninhabitable and uncultivable land. The outermost 900 mu are already showing signs of collapse, with some sections ready to fall off at any moment.
"Next, I need to accumulate a large number of magic crystals, otherwise relying on just one intermediate-level earth spirit bead will be too slow for land improvement!" Ye Chen thought to himself.
