Chapter 347: Tier 5 Regional Lord Territory And Space League
The path to 100% prosperity was straightforward but tedious.
Everyone in the kingdom needed to be happy and living in good conditions.
Caelus immediately contacted Mason through the kingdom interface.
"Mason, I need a full census of Genesis Kingdom. Find every problem that’s dragging down prosperity."
"On it, Sir Caelus!"
Within hours, Mason delivered a comprehensive report detailing every issue plaguing the expanded territory.
Food distribution was uneven, with some districts experiencing mild shortages due to the rapid expansion.
Roads connecting the merged kingdoms were poorly maintained or nonexistent.
Public facilities like taverns and training grounds were overcrowded in the outer territories.
The Technological Mana Era upgrades hadn’t reached the newly conquered regions yet.
Caelus didn’t hesitate to fix all of this, and with Mason’s Builder profession, everything was handled quickly.
[Prosperity: 87% → 93%]
More issues surfaced as the initial problems were resolved.
Entertainment facilities were lacking in residential areas.
The market portal access points were too far from some districts.
NPC merchants complained about unfair taxation in certain zones.
[Spending 600,000 Origin Credits on entertainment facilities]
[Prosperity: 93% → 97%]
The final push required small adjustments.
Caelus addressed minor complaints about noise levels near forges and uneven resource distribution.
[Prosperity: 97% → 100%]
[Ding!]
[Genesis Kingdom has reached maximum prosperity]
[Ding! You’ve obtained a special Void Trial]
[All requirements for the Lord Token have been fulfilled]
Caelus smiled as the final notification appeared.
Six million population.
One hundred percent prosperity.
Everything was ready.
But what excited him even more was the Void Trial notification.
It was finally available. He had this back in the Abyss, and now he had unlocked it once more.
And most importantly, he could now advance the kingdom to Tier 5, which meant Ace-Rank territories.
No one on Earth had reached a Tier 5 Regional Lord Territory yet.
The advancement requirements were brutal, and Ace-Rank players were incredibly rare.
Tier 4 was dominated by top factions and major guilds, but none had the resources or power to push further.
Until a superpower that dwarfed all existing organisations appeared, the status quo would remain unchanged.
But now Genesis Kingdom was about to shatter that ceiling.
Caelus gathered everyone in the central plaza and addressed the massive crowd.
"Listen up! Genesis Kingdom is about to advance to Tier 5!"
Cheers erupted from the gathered players and NPCs.
"Some of you will be converted to King Rank through this process, and those still at Elite Rank will jump straight to Master Rank!"
The cheering intensified tenfold.
Players who had been stuck at their current ranks for weeks suddenly saw a path forward.
But before initiating the advancement, Caelus had one more task.
He sent faction invitations to all the newly conquered residents.
[Faction invitations sent]
[Invitations accepted: 1,847,293]
[Current Faction Members: 2,686,714]
Two million out of six million had joined.
The rest were still reluctant, clinging to old loyalties or simply distrusting the new leadership.
That was fine for now.
He would convince them eventually, one way or another.
[Faith Power Updated: 21,342,891]
With everything prepared, Caelus activated the Lord Token.
[Ding!]
[Lord Token activated]
[Initiating Tier 5 Regional Lord Territory advancement...]
Golden light erupted from the Town Crystal at the center of Genesis Kingdom.
The radiance spread across the entire territory, washing over every building and every resident.
[Converting eligible players to King Rank...]
[Players converted: 10,000/10,000]
[Advancement complete]
[Genesis Kingdom has reached Tier 5 Regional Lord Territory]
[Converting eligible players to Master Rank...]
The notifications didn’t stop there.
[Ding!]
[Historic Achievement Detected]
[You are the first to reach Tier 5 Regional Lord Territory on Planet Earth (Tier 1)]
[Genesis Kingdom has officially entered the Space League]
[+100 Reputation Points given to the Town Leader]
[Establishing connection with other planets...]
[Connection successful]
[Welcome to the Interplanetary Communication Network]
A new interface appeared before Sylvia’s eyes.
It looked like a chat window, with messages scrolling rapidly as beings from other worlds communicated.
[BigDaddyOrc (Planet Grulmar): Another newbie just joined]
[MoonlitQueen (Planet Seraphel): Oh? Which backwater planet this time?]
[Zyrax the Conqueror (Planet Vorthax): Earth? Never heard of it. Am I supposed to care?]
[CrystalWarden (Planet Luminara): You are too full of yourself just because you took over a planet. Calm down, mate.]
[CrystalWarden (Planet Luminara): Welcome, newcomer! Don’t mind these idiots, they’re always like this.]
[Zyrax the Conqueror (Planet Vorthax): Who are you calling an idiot? I conquered SIX continents last week.]
[BigDaddyOrc (Planet Grulmar): Yeah, and I ate six continents’ worth of food. We’re not impressed.]
[VoidWalker777 (Planet Prime): Can we focus? A new planet means new trading opportunities.]
[MoonlitQueen (Planet Seraphel): You are always thinking about money.]
[CrystalWarden (Planet Luminara): There are rumours that VoidWalker was seen doing nasty things to a gold bar.]
[VoidWalker777 (Planet Prime): ??? Who’s spreading false information? I WILL FIND YOU.]
[StarforgeEmpress (Planet Aethoria): @Earth newcomer, what’s your combat score? If it’s below 5 at Ace-Rank, don’t even bother talking to us.]
[BigDaddyOrc (Planet Grulmar): Who wants to bet with me? I say the newcomer this time is like before, one of those guys who got lucky with a token from a Tier 2 world.]
[CrystalWarden (Planet Luminara): You guys are so mean to newcomers...]
[MoonlitQueen (Planet Seraphel): It’s called natural selection, babe.]
Caelus stared at the chat with a mixture of amusement and disbelief.
This was the Space League?
It looked like a glorified Discord server.
Sylvia peeked over his shoulder and burst out laughing.
She was clearly having fun with this.
He decided to introduce himself, but before that, he changed his nickname to ChaosDragon.
Since everyone was using nicknames, he was going to use one as well.
[ChaosDragon (Planet Earth): I’m one of the representatives of Earth. My combat score is 2.34, and I’m at King Rank. Nice to meet you all.]
[BigDaddyOrc (Planet Grulmar): He said 2.34. Lol.]
[CrystalWarden (Planet Luminara): Yeah? What’s wrong with that, Orc? It’s not that bad. He has a combat score of 2 at Ace-Rank, isn’t that great?]
[MoonlitQueen (Planet Seraphel): Yeah, it is good.]
Caelus’s face darkened when he saw this.
Why was he getting bullied for his combat score?
This was discrimination against people with lower combat scores!
