Chapter 387: Allocate Territory

The Primal Council Hall! Inside the hall was a black round table. Its crystalline body was crafted from the largest Dark Realm Crystal ever discovered in the entire boundless Primal Chaos Space, making its value immeasurable, equivalent to several Ancestral-level corpses.

Only the Cultivator Faction could possess such a rare treasure. If any weaker forces in the boundless Primal Chaos Space had such a marvel, they would likely face immediate annihilation.

The Cultivator Faction, one of the three major factions in the boundless Primal Chaos Space, though suppressed for eons by the strongest force, the Innate Primal Chaos Life Faction, is nonetheless widely acknowledged for its power!

Around the round table were eight seats, also crafted from Dark Realm Crystal. Eight figures descended into the Council Hall: Yuan, Jin, Xingwu, Mohe, Naigu, Xingmang, Moman, and Luo Feng. After taking their seats, these eight individuals, representing the highest echelon of the entire Cultivator Faction, were the ones who decided the fate of countless cultivators.

Hmm? As Luo Feng sat in the Dark Realm Crystal seat, he instantly perceived a space-time array. This array, centered around the black round table, connected to the entire space-time network. Instantly, all three thousand six hundred world clusters within the network's reach came within his perception. Even if parts of the space-time network in some fallen world clusters were damaged, the network along the past timeline remained intact, allowing for detection everywhere!

Sitting there, Luo Feng had a clear mental image of all three thousand six hundred world clusters, countless source worlds, and innumerous ordinary worlds, whether intact or ruined. With an additional seat finally occupied in the Council Hall, Yuan looked at Luo Feng with a radiant smile, saying, "It hasn't been easy. After such a long time, we finally have a new Lord! The Cultivator Faction truly produces Lords too slowly." Jin also sighed with emotion, "After all, mastering the Dao, the highest power, is naturally far more difficult than becoming an Ancestor!"

Xingmang commented, "Ancestors are relatively easier to produce. Several Ancestors were even born during this war! After the war, once they've assimilated the gains, Ancestors will see further improvements. Let's first distribute the spoils of this war." Yuan, presiding over the meeting, stated, "In this war, we collectively killed eleven Ancestors. This is an unprecedented achievement." "Haha, before this war, we had only killed a total of fourteen Ancestors throughout all of history!" Wulan exclaimed, "And in this single war, we killed a full eleven!"

"The tide has turned!" Xingmang smiled.

"Thanks to Luo Feng!" Naigu sighed with emotion, "Originally, we were steadily retreating, but Luo Feng's breakthrough greatly boosted our overall strength! His participation allowed us to kill eight Ancestors in a short period! After Luo Feng became a Lord, he suddenly joined the battle, which immediately led to the demise of three Ancestors. Later, Luo Feng was forcibly pulled into the Ancestor's camp, separating him from our side. The immense power of Luo Feng's one billion eighty million origin explosions at that time indirectly caused the demise of five Ancestors!"

"Thanks to Minghuang!" Luo Feng stated, "While Lord Xingmang was still dominant when restraining the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Serpent of Time, it was difficult for him to deliver fatal blows to the Ancestors!"

Minghuang's terrifying lightning deterrence and incredibly fast skill condensation were significant factors. Her strikes were always on target, and she was the one who reaped many Ancestors, making her a major cause of their deaths!

"Those Ancestors had already exerted their full strength resisting you all; I merely delivered the final blow!" Minghuang laughed.

"Let's distribute the spoils first," Yuan said with a smile. "Of the eleven Ancestor corpses, each Lord will receive ten percent, with the remainder kept in the Primal Land for the entire Cultivator Faction. Although each Lord's contribution varied, and Luo Feng didn't even participate in the battles where three of the Ancestors fell, the Cultivator Faction's distribution policy has always been that as long as one participates in some part of the battle, the spoils are divided equally."

Of the eight Lords present, only Lord Naigu had a particular need for Ancestor corpse materials; the other Lords, being primarily focused on comprehending the 'Dao,' were not in urgent need of such materials.

"These eleven Ancestors also carried numerous treasures with them! According to the old rules, each will receive ten percent, with the rest belonging to the faction." Yuan then brought out the treasures.

The Lords casually selected their portions; unless they had an urgent personal need, they would not contend for anything.

Ancestors had to participate in battle with their true bodies; they were not qualified to use clones, as their strength would be too weak, not even reaching ten percent, rendering them meaningless in a war of this magnitude between the two great factions. For instance, if Xingmang's energy reserves were merely reduced by thirty percent, his effectiveness in battle would significantly decrease.

From this, it's clear that in a war between the two great factions, one must be exceptionally strong and prominent to make a significant impact! Luo Feng, on the other hand, possessed peak energy reserves, terrifying recovery abilities, formidable close combat skills, and could also seek opportunities to unleash dreadful forbidden techniques!

Had Luo Feng's energy reserves significantly dwindled and his overall strength declined, given the internal divisions and strong anti-war sentiment among the Ancestors at that time, they could have potentially defeated Luo Feng's main battle clone, which was left with only ten percent of its energy reserves, if they had attacked with full force! However, even with a short-term victory, the eight Lords could still recover and return. This was also why many Ancestors were against the war.

"The distribution of spoils is complete!" Yuan announced, "Let's proceed to the next agenda item. With the birth of a new Lord, our Cultivator Faction, according to established rules, needs to re-divide territories and reallocate subordinates!"

Yuan looked at the other Lords, who were all listening intently.

"Firstly, the Dark World Cluster, being Luo Feng's homeland, will become his absolute territory!" Yuan stated. "Secondly, each Lord has the responsibility to guard the borders, thus they will need to take charge of certain border world clusters!"

Above the round table, a miniature representation of the three thousand six hundred world clusters appeared, and the allocation process began!

Each of the eight Lords, using their absolute territory as a starting point, had their domain extending to the borders. Every Lord's territory resembled a twisted fish shape!

"I need the Green River World Cluster!" Lord Minghuang spoke, gesturing to claim three additional world clusters while also relinquishing others. The seven previous Lords, having invested significant effort in the vast territories, had certain world clusters that held unique meaning for them. One by one, they spoke up, making slight adjustments to the territories. Only Luo Feng, who hadn't invested effort in other world clusters, could accept these minor territorial adjustments.

"Does anyone have any objections?" Yuan asked, looking at the seven Lords and nodding slightly. "Good. Since there are no objections, the territories are thus settled!"

With the territorial distribution concluded, the allocation of World-level Primal Chaos Beings and High-level Primal Chaos Lives under their command also needed adjustment.

Yuan said, "High-level Primal Chaos Lives within a territory naturally fall under the Lord's command! As for World-level Primal Chaos Beings, if they are a disciple of a particular Lord, they will be subordinate to that Lord! Otherwise, without such special master-disciple relationships, they will still be allocated according to the territorial division!" The senior Lords had no objections!

Many World-level Primal Chaos Beings had received cultivation from Lords even before escaping their 'cages,' and about a third of them had truly become disciples.

As a newly ascended Lord, Luo Feng had naturally not taken any World-level Primal Chaos Beings as disciples.

"I have 23 World-level Primal Chaos Beings and a little over 10.25 million High-level Primal Chaos Lives under my command," Luo Feng said, looking at the final allocation plan. Of course, there were also 20 captured World-level Primal Chaos Lives and over 8 billion captured High-level Primal Chaos Lives. This war had significantly increased the number of captives for the Cultivator Faction.

"Luo Feng, you have slightly fewer World-level Primal Chaos Beings among your cultivators!" Yuan chuckled. "You can extensively cultivate those younger ones within the 'cages' and foster some World-level Primal Chaos Being disciples, and they will naturally be under your command!"

Luo Feng understood that it was normal for him to have slightly fewer, as the other seven Lords had invested immense effort into cultivation.

"I'll cultivate them gradually in the future," Luo Feng said.

"Are there any objections to this allocation plan?" Yuan asked his companions. "If not, I will distribute it."

Once they confirmed it, they would also need to notify the World-level Primal Chaos Beings and High-level Primal Chaos Lives of the Cultivator Faction. After all, with territories and subordinates reallocated, future responsibilities and authorities would also need to be redefined. "Distribute it then!"

"No objections!" All seven Lords confirmed.

"Then let's begin the third item on the agenda!" Yuan continued. "With the birth of a new Lord, we need to determine how our Cultivator Faction should cultivate future generations in this new era. The cultivation strategy will be jointly discussed and decided by all eight Lords!"

"First, we must reclaim the vast resources from all world clusters!" Lord Moman stated directly. "Previously, immense resources were made freely available for exchange because all world clusters were at risk of complete collapse! Now that the war is over, this must naturally change. Many world clusters might have fallen, and countless beings might have faced extinction, which is why they were given greater exchange power and more hope to break free from their 'cages.' But now our territories are secure. Cultivators at the God-Emperor level have infinite lifespans. If they want to acquire resources, the difficulty must naturally be significantly increased! Our Cultivator Faction simply cannot afford to let resources be exchanged so freely!" Lord Naigu also commented, "This requires lengthy consideration."

While the Lords discussed in the Council Hall, the territorial division plan and the cultivator allocation plan were simultaneously distributed to every World-level Primal Chaos Being and High-level Primal Chaos Life in the Primal Land! Throughout the Primal Land, countless cultivators received the news!

At this moment, Tianlang Ke and two friends were gathered together, and they too received the news.

"Our Cultivator Faction has given birth to its eighth Lord, Luo Feng, and the eight Lords, working together, have decisively won this war. Daoist Chifeng and Tianlang Ke, along with a total of 23 World-level Primal Chaos Lives, are to proceed to the Tianyue Sea Cavern and await an audience with Lord Luo Feng!" Tianlang Ke stared blankly at the message!

"Lord Luo Feng?"

The horned man, Guangyu, was incredibly excited: "Who would have thought that while we were worried about the war, our Cultivator Faction would actually give birth to a new Lord! The news of the new Lord's birth was kept completely secret; Lord Luo Feng had already participated in the war, and it had even ended! The full public announcement only came after our victory!"

Daoist Chifeng was also excited: "We must quickly set off for the Tianyue Sea Cavern to await an audience with Lord Luo Feng!"

"Let's go!" Guangyu urged his companion beside him. "Brother Tianlang, what are you thinking about? Let's hurry! This is our first time meeting Lord Luo Feng; there's no room for any delay!"

"Oh!" Tianlang Ke, still a little dazed, replied and immediately set off with his companions for the Tianyue Sea Cavern!

At this moment, Tianlang Ke somewhat understood why the Lord had not summoned him after his own breakthrough!
