Chapter 1: Initial troops, saplings?

"Are you really the Lord God?"

In the gray space, Lin You looked at the statue in front of him, slightly hesitant.

It was very dark all around, and only the area where he was standing still had some light.

Lin You couldn't understand why he was here.

The last second, he was sitting in front of the computer, working overtime diligently, trying to finish the unfinished work.

But in the next second, the whole world suddenly shattered into countless pieces.

After that, he appeared here, in front of the statue that called itself the "Lord God".

Unfortunately, in the face of his inquiry, the Lord God ignored him, and said in an extremely cold voice that seemed to be synthesized by a machine: [The myriad worlds collapsed and returned to one world.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the qualification to go to the original continent. ]

[In order to adapt to the new world as quickly as possible, everyone will be randomly given an initial territory for you to recruit soldiers, plunder resources, and develop your power. ]

[In this vast world, you will not only face competition from all races, but also threats from the indigenous residents. Only death awaits the weak! ]

[So, keep improving your strength and make yourself stronger! ]

[Randomly allocating territories.]

[The territory has been allocated, please be prepared.]

Wow——

Lin You's eyes lit up and he appeared at the foot of a mountain on the edge of a forest. He was surrounded by large trees and could not see the scenery in the distance. His ears were filled with the sounds of various insects, birds, and loud beasts.

Lin You was brought back to his senses by a beast's roar, and his eyes gradually widened.

What was going on? All the worlds collapsed and returned to one? Did that mean his original world was gone? Was this a joke? Even if it was a joke, everything in front of him was too real! "Pah!"

Lin You slapped him hard on the face. It hurt a lot, a burning pain.

All of this is indeed true. Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Dear Lord.】

[From now on, you have seven days of protection. ]

[During the protection time, your territory will not be harmed. ]

[After seven days, the protection will disappear. Please properly guard the core of the territory. ]

[The core of the territory is a derivative of the soul of each lord. Once it is destroyed, the lord will also perish. ]

As the voice fell, the ground where Lin You was located suddenly made a rumbling sound, and a huge tree with flowing light rose from the ground and grew to more than ten meters high.

At the same time, fences rose up around them, surrounding the confused Lin You and the big tree.

Well It seems that he was not dreaming, he really traveled through time. Lin You was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses from the shock and astonishment.

After realizing the facts, his first reaction was not fear or panic, but unexpected calmness.

After being in the society for so many years, what kind of storms have you not seen?

This, this he has never seen before...

Lin You carefully came to the only big tree that could be called a building in the territory and examined it carefully.

Then, an interface message suddenly popped up and caught his eye.

[Territory name: Tree of Life]

[Territory Level: Level 1]

[Territory Durability: 100/100]

[Recruitment type: Plant system]

[Number of recruits: 0/10]

[Territory Introduction: The core of the lord's survival, with various functions. If the core of the territory is destroyed, the lord will perish.]

[Upgrade requirements: Wood (100/100), Stone (0/100), Magic (10/10)]

[Note: Plants are a territorial feature, and wood is self-sufficient.]

"Is this the territory?"

Lin You looked around and saw only a fence made of stone pillars and wood, and a big tree in front of him.

This initial territory is a bit too simple.

If his guess was correct, this big tree should be the core of the territory mentioned by the voice just now.

In other words, once this big tree is destroyed, he will die as well.

It's really cruel . He only has seven days of safety now. If he doesn't want to die, he must improve his strength quickly, and then collect materials to upgrade the territory and strengthen the fence.

Thinking of this, Lin You quickly browsed other information and was soon attracted to a [Regional Channel] in the corner.

When I clicked on them, I found that they were all chat messages sent by other people!

"Fuck! I traveled through time!"

"What's going on? Can anyone tell me?"

"I am in a panic now. I just saw a python several dozen meters long passing by me."

"It seems that our original world is gone, and we have collectively traveled to this world."

"Ah? Then can we still go back?"

"Where are you, honey? I'm Tiezhu, can you see the message I sent?"

Lin You didn't expect that everyone would actually travel to this world, and be randomly scattered to every corner! The entire chat channel was in a mess, most of them were in panic and anxiety, some even lost their minds, sending messages frantically, and messages popped up almost every second.

This is just one area!

God knows how many similar areas there are out there. But thanks to this channel, Lin You discovered a lot of useful information, and some of the people who calmed down first have begun to discuss territory matters.

"I randomly came to the territory of the animal department, and I can only recruit wolf cubs!"

"I'm almost there too. I'm in the Undead Cemetery, and the initial troops are small skeletons, the kind that break if you hit them!"

"What the hell is a mechanical factory? How can people live with just a mechanical bird?"

"You guys are lucky. I just saw someone from the Plant Department saying that he got a sapling by chance."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"A sapling? That's too pitiful! Fortunately, I wasn't assigned to the plant department."

"Haha, not all plant-based soldiers are initially saplings. I observed that only a few unlucky ones got them randomly."

Lin You: “.”

It would have been better if he hadn’t read it. After reading the news, Lin You’s face instantly turned dark.

Isn't his current territory plant-based?

I can't be so unlucky that my initial soldier type is randomly chosen as a sapling, right?

Immediately close the chat channel, come to the Tree of Life, and follow the instructions given by those people to calm your mind.

"recruit!"

Then, the voice in my head sounded again.

【Please select the number of recruits. 】

[Each recruitment of a first-level soldier costs 1 point of magic power, and the recruitment level cannot exceed the territory level. ]

“Ten!”

Lin You answered without hesitation.

The initial magic power of the territory is 10 points, which is just enough to recruit 10 first-level soldiers. In this world full of dangers, the more helpers the better.

The moment his voice fell, the Tree of Life above his head suddenly shook, and seeds wrapped in fluorescent light slowly fell and sank into the soil under his feet.

Next second.

The soil loosened and saplings broke out of the ground.

【Name: Sapling】

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Level 1 (0/10)]

[Strength: 0 (Attack Strength)]

[Constitution: 8 (vitality)]

[Agility: 0 (Speed)]

[Spirit: 5 (Skill Power)]

[Skill: Breath of Nature (Consumes the power of nature and heals the designated friendly party by 25% of their spiritual attributes.)]

[Introduction: The lowest level plant-based summon, barely usable for healing.]

“.”

Looking at the ten saplings that appeared in front of him, Lin You's face suddenly turned dark.

Unexpectedly, he actually became the unlucky guy in the eyes of those people and was randomly assigned the weakest initial troop type.

Attack and speed are both zero, how can people play this? It's fine if they don't give me a powerful soldier, but at least give me a flower fairy or a tree fairy. At least give me a cactus, which can at least throw thorns to stab people, which is many times stronger than this sapling.

With these saplings that were not aggressive at all, let alone resisting the invasion of foreign enemies, they couldn't even survive the seven days of the safe period! He couldn't go out hunting alone, could he? Lin You had never been so speechless before.

It seemed that even the Lord God couldn't stand it anymore, and at this time another voice sounded in his mind.

[Every lord will get a chance to draw a lottery when he descends. Do you want to use it immediately? ]

"lottery?"

Lin You was shocked. He didn't expect the situation to turn around so quickly.

Looking at the exquisite treasure chest that appeared before him, he swallowed and immediately reached in.

Accompanied by a dazzling golden light, the voice rang out again.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the exclusive ability: Mutation (consumes magic energy to mutate the specified summoned unit, mutating it into a random summoned unit of the same level, and randomly retaining one of the original skills. Mutation can be repeated.)]

A new book is launched. Please collect and recommend it. Thank you very much~
