Cheng Yang pushed those thoughts out of his mind. What didnt happen doesnt matter. He was the Lord of Phoenix Village now, and he would be able to view the Territory Altar system panel.
He went to the altar and was able to open the system panel as expected.

The village system panel was pretty basic since there were very few buildings you could construct in the beginning.
The class change statues ca with the village, which only left the walls and ditation halls to build. The importance of each building was obvious, so they needed to be constructed as soon as possible!
The Territorys Experience Fragnts were even more important since they were used to upgrade the class change statues and village level. In fact, you needed to use Experience Fragnts just to perform the class change ceremony! Luckily, these Experience Fragnts didnt need to co from the territory but could be taken from the person performing the ceremony.
This rule was the sa in the safe zones. Only Lords could beco a Professional without spending Experience Fragnts. Everyone else could only borrow Experience Fragnts from a Lord or god. The class change ceremony cost 10 Experience Fragnts, which would automatically be deducted after the ceremony starts. If you borrowed Experience Fragnts to pay for the ceremony, the total cost could easily exceed twice the initial cost if you took too long to pay it back.
Lords had a lot of autonomy in this regard. They could lend out the Experience Fragnts they wanted to, set the rates of interest, and if the loan needed to be paid back at all.
There were two ways for the Territory Altar to gain Experience Fragnts. The first way was to ask for donations from the citizens, but this option wasnt available until the village was upgraded to Standard Grade. The other way is that when citizens killed monsters within one kiloter of the village walls, the Territory Altar would gain several experience Fragnts equal to the amount gained by the citizen.
The Innate Ability of Phoenix Village seed fairly simple, but Cheng Yang knew that this wasnt the case. Phoenix Village was only at the Low-Grade right now but if he continued to upgrade it the Innate Ability it granted would grow as well!
Aside from the properties panel, there were two other system panels for the Territory Altar. One was the citizen panel which tracked those who had done their class change ceremony in the village. Right now there was only his na on the panel followed by the title Lord. On this page, you could assign citizens to be managers and grant privileges.
The final panel contained the exclusive ability of Lords, Divine Grace.
The ability sounded very imposing, but its effects unmistakably lived up to the na. It allowed the Lord of a village to directly level up each ti the village leveled up. Since the village had just been constructed, Cheng Yang could only use Divine Grace once.
There was a restriction on the usage of Divine Grace, however. The usage of Divine Grace granted by a Low-Grade village would only be effective when the Lords strength was below Pinnacle-Grade Apprentice.
Without any hesitation, Cheng Yang imdiately activated Divine Grace choosing imdiate benefits in preparation for the apocalypse.
At that mont, mysterious energy escaped from the Territory Altar and burst into his body.
After multiple ssages flashed in front of his eyes, Cheng Yang felt filled with power.

Cheng Yangs attributes had doubled, showing definite growth. In his previous life, it had taken him two months to reach this point after becoming a Professional.
Under normal circumstances, its exceedingly difficult to fight soone of a higher level. To do so at lower levels is even more absurd. When the army took Phoenix Village in Cheng Yangs first life, the reason they paid such a high price was exactly this difference between levels. At the ti, most of humanity was still at Low-Grade with a few at Standard Grade while their opponents were a Pinnacle Grade Immature monster which were at the peak of the first stage of evolution.
Cheng Yang, however, had achieved the sa rank as those elite fighters after less than a single day. As they say, as long as you keep walking when you are one step ahead, then the gap between you and your opponents will inevitably widen.
It was just about noon when Cheng Yang finished planning his future moves.
He now had two choices: go back to Cloud City to buy wood or wait until after the apocalypse and gather it on his own. The latter would certainly take longer but getting wood wasnt an urgent issue because as long as Cheng Yang was alive, he could always gather more.
The other item on his agenda would be to look around for the precious object in his mory that would be beneficial to his developnt.
Not to ntion the other benefits it offers just by finding it. It would allow Liu Hau and his other two buddies to perform class change ceremonies.
Cheng Yang was able to beco a Professional by relying on his position as the Lord, but his buddies could not. He wanted to allow a few people to beco Professionals, so it was necessary to gather so Experience Fragnts.
Regarding the precious object, Cheng Yang wasnt confident in finding it. He wasnt even sure if it would appear before the apocalypse and even if he found it now, locating it again would be difficult. This was because the earthquake that signaled the apocalypse would make much of the terrain unrecognizable. He was able to find the Territory Altar only because he was able to rely on the rumors from his last life and his luck.
After a long while, Cheng Yang decided to try his luck once more.
After walking in the direction from his mories for two or three kiloters, he still hadnt found anything and had to turn back. It seed his luck had all been used in finding the Territory Altar.
Cheng Yang decided to return ho until he bought wood. He then gathered dead leaves and twigs to cover up the statue heads, made sure the Territory Altar was alright, and then went down the hill.
On his way down, Cheng Yang considered announcing that the world would end. Eventually, he gave up on the idea. Even if he did tell everyone, no one would believe just words, and he might even be charged with inciting lawless action. He considered displaying his powers as a Mage, but that could turn out disastrously for him.
He decided not to release the information and instead work to save those he wished to protect. As for the others? They would have to rely on their luck.
Cheng Yangs parents were already dead, so he didnt need to worry about them. The only other people he cared about were his three friends from university. Although he had only known them for a year before the apocalypse, they were all good and trustworthy friends.
The one thing that didnt change during the apocalypse was that it is impossible to succeed alone. To fulfill his plans, Cheng Yang would need helpers. If possible, he would get tens of thousands of people to work under him. However, Cheng Yang knew his limits, he had no such following right now.
So he decided to save his precious friends and help himself in the process.
Cheng Yang had made this vow to himself after a long period of thought.
When he returned to the dormitory, Cheng Yang happened to run into Liu Hau on his way back from the basketball ga. The two talked on the way back to their room.
Cheng Yangs other two friends Lau Hui and Yu Kai were in a different year and were playing computer gas when he returned.
Koko, Ox, Hiroko, how much money do you have? Cheng Yang walked in and directly asked.
All three of them, including Liu Hau, were stunned. Yoko, whats wrong? Liu Hau asked, You seed like sothing was on your mind in the classroom, but I didnt force the issue. Why dont you tell us whats wrong?
Lau Hui and Yu Kai stopped playing gas to look at Cheng Yang with concern.
Cheng Yang said calmly, I cant tell you whats wrong, but I need money. As much as possible and I was hoping youd lend it to .
Of course you can have the money, Yu Kai said sincerely, Please tell us what happened though. Your worries are our worries.
Cheng Yang said, I really cant tell you, but youll find out what tomorrow afternoon. You can wait that long right?
