Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

"The system has assigned you to the initial environment: the Endless Abyss!"

"Your initial race is: Demon."

"The Lord's Trial officially begins. Initial resources have been distributed to your personal space. Please establish and improve your territory as soon as possible."

In the dimness, Wu Wei opened his eyes.

"Endless... Abyss?"

"What kind of starting place is this? And what is the Demon race? I've never heard of it. Wait... this is!"

The scene that Wu Wei saw upon opening his eyes filled him with immense shock.

There was no beautiful and tranquil forest environment here, nor the magnificent spectacle of the elemental planes.

There were no streams, no grasslands, and no gentle breezes.

All Wu Wei could see was a scarlet sky and countless cracked, barren lands.

A large amount of foul-smelling air was constantly rushing in all directions, accompanied by ceaseless storms and lightning.

Above, a giant, awe-inspiring black-red vortex was slowly rotating.

It was like a giant shredder, ruthlessly crushing all the beauty in the world and dragging those sinful, fallen souls into its embrace.

There were no unified rules here; everything was as chaotic as the beginning.

This was a place of extremely harsh and twisted environment, a chaotic place where rules were arbitrarily distorted.

This was the origin of slaughter and destruction, and also the final destination for all evil and fallen souls. This was...

The Endless Abyss!

"Cough cough cough!"

After taking only two breaths, Wu Wei felt a pain in his lungs and couldn't help but cough.

What he coughed up was actually blood!

He had only been here for less than a minute, and he was already coughing up blood.

The air here was poisonous!

The environment of the Endless Abyss was actually this harsh!

Could any civilized race actually survive in such an environment?

"No choice, there's only one chance to choose."

Wu Wei glanced at the resources that had already been distributed in his personal space.

"Even if I regret it, it's too late. No matter how harsh the environment of this world is, I must build my territory in this world."

The two random options brought Wu Wei an extra fifty percent of initial resources, which naturally brought him extra risks as well.

Wu Wei had long been prepared for the arrival of risks.

So he didn't regret it, and couldn't possibly regret it.

"The first problem to solve is the location of the territory."

"According to the tutorials in the [Lord Era] textbook, there should be various types of resource locations near my birthplace. I need to find them, then place my territory core at their center, and after the territory is built, I will automatically gain the ability to adapt to the environment."

Unfortunately, when Wu Wei started to take action, he discovered that those so-called textbooks might not be accurate.

Or rather, the Endless Abyss itself could not be defined by a few textbooks!

Having gradually adapted to the environment of the Abyss, Wu Wei carried the basic tools and territory core distributed by the system and walked for a whole morning without finding any suitable territory core!

Not only that, but in the morning he spent exploring, Wu Wei didn't even get a hint of a resource location.

At this moment, most of the people undergoing the Lord's Assessment had already chosen their locations and begun to build the prototype of their territories.

Some of the faster ones had even begun to recruit residents from the Heavenly Dao System to start developing.

"No, if I delay any longer, my operating speed won't be able to keep up with them."

"Instead of exploring meaninglessly by myself, I might as well recruit some residents as soon as possible and let them explore for me."

Wu Wei came to a relatively open flat area and placed his territory core.

[Territory is being generated...]

[Territory construction complete.]

[Congratulations, you have your first Level 1 territory!]

[You have officially become a Level 1 Lord.]

After a burst of digital symbols flashed, a dusty, decayed throne appeared in front of Wu Wei.

The throne was made of the bones of unknown creatures and solidified dark red blood, and it was also engraved with some abyssal symbols that Wu Wei couldn't understand.

And this throne was Wu Wei's current territory core.

It was also equivalent to Wu Wei's "main base" within the territory.

Sitting on it, Wu Wei could command all the residents belonging to it and build new buildings.

But similarly, once it was destroyed, it would mean that Wu Wei's territory was completely destroyed.

[The basic buildings within your territory have been distributed.]

[You have obtained the basic building: Abyss Sacrifice Altar X1!]

[You have obtained the basic building: Abyss Hatchery (Dried State) X1, you have obtained the building: Abyss Gate X1!]

Each newly established territory would be given 2-5 basic buildings.

However, due to the different racial characteristics of the major races, these basic buildings varied.

If it was a territory with dwarf or gnome attributes, then these basic buildings would generally be taverns and smelting rooms.

If it was a territory with undead attributes, then these basic buildings would generally be graveyards, halls of the dead, and death watchtowers.

And if it was an extremely rare dragon attribute territory, then these basic buildings would be uniformly dragon nests, hunting grounds, incubation greenhouses, and dragon bone lands.

In short, the basic buildings given by the system would basically correspond to the race chosen by the lord, providing basic recruitment, food, education, and other functions.

And an old, gray high platform, a closed pool surrounded by countless dry black tentacles, and a gate shining with black and red light appeared in the three directions of Wu Wei's territory, not far from each other.

These were Wu Wei's basic buildings.

And Wu Wei was sitting on the territory core, checking these three buildings one by one.

"Abyss Sacrifice Altar, can sacrifice everything of value, treasures, resources, and even hope and souls, to exchange for Abyss treasures after sacrifice?"

Wu Wei looked at his personal space. Currently, he didn't seem to have anything to sacrifice.

Or else...

Sacrifice his own soul to see if his soul was quite valuable?

For some reason, such a dark thought suddenly appeared in Wu Wei's mind.

A gust of yin wind flew by, and Wu Wei, who had regained consciousness, quickly shook his head, throwing the Abyss Sacrifice Altar out of his mind, and checked the next building.

"Abyss Hatchery, but why is it in a dried state?"

"Does it need resources to activate it?"

Wu Wei, sitting on the old throne, clicked on the Abyss Hatchery.

The next moment, he was stunned.

"What's going on? Why are there so many units that can be exchanged, and none of them need any technology to unlock!"

[Abyss Hatchery Exchange Options.]

[Level 0 Unit: Little Devil, Price: 0.25 Souls, 25 kg of Flesh (Unlimited Race, Unlimited Completeness).]

[Level 1 Unit: Native Imp, Price: 0.5 Souls, 40 kg of Flesh (Unlimited Race, Unlimited Completeness).]

...

[Level 50 Unit: Legendary Flame Demon, Price: Molten Core X1, Requires Building an Abyss Hatchery in an Active Volcano.]

..

Looking at these countless unit exchanges, Wu Wei was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

This was the first gift the Endless Abyss gave Wu Wei.

The best gift!
