The distance from Tom’s place to mine took almost three hours. I wasn’t flying at top speed as my mind was busy revising many things.

The manuals I got from Zangibar were too many for me to read through before. So instead of just thinking about things I couldn’t comprehend from Berry’s weird meeting, I had to end up revising what was useful to me.

These techniques were all important for the next move. I had to start fortifying my land, turning it into something that could be called a town or a city.

Of course the more I delved into these techniques the more I got the basic concept behind them. They were easy, on the surface, without much hard moves or something.

All I needed to do was to just draw the technique layout using my blood and spend my energy to form the required building.

Towers, wall blocks, and even rooms would be constructed piece by piece.

That might look hard and a long process to do, but this wasn’t the problem.

The main problem lay in the energy expenditure that I had to deal with.

The energy was only driven from me. I couldn’t use the help of anyone else, nor using the support of my land.

It all depended on me, and that explained why many lands lacked walls and most only depended solely on towers without any grand outlining and construction of a true town.

Lords had to build all this from scratch and depending only on their energy. One’s energy was limited, even I wouldn’t fare that better in such regard.

Yet I got another thing to help, something that wouldn’t break any rules and would be still following the procedures of building in this world.

I got my bones!

Even here, dead folks killed by me or my forces would grant me bones. Unluckily they got no inventory for me to exploit, making this half harvest for me.

Yet bones were something useful and accepted in this world just like mine. And that made me wonder about the origin of my class.

I thought that system had little authority in this world. I got from Berry that this universe was considered the mother of everything in the entire vast collection of cosmos.

That meant any form of power would be reflected and accepted here no matter what. Yet even with that, the level of authority any power had was limited.

Take cultivation for example. They came from another universe in my cosmos. And I got my cultivation opened. But it didn’t grant me superiority over anyone else.

Be it cultivation or system, both showed great limitations indeed. However, my class didn’t. I could use my class abilities without any restraints at all.

Even my bone absorption ability that got the turbo mode activated didn’t show any signs of weakening at all.

I even used my sacrificial ability usually and without any difficulties.

So it meant my class was placed at a higher level than cultivation and system, right?

I have little intel to judge or even think about this issue. Anyway, my class worked, and my bones were my trump card in this matter.

So I focused only over the techniques, seeing how much different they were.

For example, the techniques for building towers had a large variety based on many factors. How big would the tower be? Would it be just a place for soldiers to stand on? Or would they have a magic crystal shining on top of it? Or would I need to make towers grand enough to place defensive weapons over there like ballistae? Or should I form the towers with the defensive weapons from the start?

Many options were there, and each depended entirely on the amount of energy inside me. I got that in this task alone, I’d end up consuming a big deal of my bone reserve.

But it was worth it!

From the words of Berry, with the repeated expulsion and admission of my forces here, I had to make sure the home residence of them was quite prepared for their long stay.

My land should have a good training ground, also good places for living and such. It wasn’t just about building defensive things here and there, it was more like building a grand city.

Just as I got done with reviewing everything and committing them to my mind, my chariot got near my land.

When I left it, it was just a small piece of land that encompassed just a few hundred miles and was of a green grade.

But now? I couldn’t help but blink thrice while moving my eyes over the wide open place.

This… The colour changed to be faint gold, meaning that it was a pale gold grade. At the same time, the size of my land stretched to no end, making me think it was over one thousand miles at least.

Such a grand place would take more effort without doubt. I thought about giving it a try for a few days before going out there and helping my boys in their adventure.

Yet plans had to change.

I knew that to gain another territory I had to move by myself and do it. Yet if I had to do so, it meant I’d waste lots of time travelling instead of just focusing on building.

“This… I hope he will do it the way I expect,” after pondering for a while, I decided to lean something over to my Lucas.

He was the most trustworthy dude in my entire army. Besides, with a mere thought I’d be able to bring him to my side.

If he performed as I’d instructed, then the task of getting lands wouldn’t be that hard at all. In fact, it would cut down the time I’d usually take by almost ninety-percent or even higher.

As I decided that, I was much relieved by now. Again my greatest foe turned out to be time, and time seemed to be my nemesis in this life.
