The countdown for the Village Building Order reached the last hour.
Zhang Yang just finished creating the fifth Spear of Imprisonment (White). He was getting increasingly comfortable with the process, so his actions became quicker. The soul power consumed by each Spear of Imprisonment decreased as well.
But even so, his soul energy still wasn’t enough.
“Wu Yuan, how’s the situation?”
Zhang Yang sat down in exhaustion. His head spun and this was the result of him being drained of a large amount of soul energy.
“Village Chief, I found no trace of the enemy during our daytime patrol, and I think your guess is correct. That deer demon is indeed waiting for our village to be established since fewer wild demons have appeared in the area over the past few days. I have reason to believe that the deer demon and its army are hidden some distance away from us.
“Fortunately, we are also prepared for battle. With the simple fortress wall already built, the high terrain of the hillock, and trenches dug out, this makes it easy for us to counterattack from above.
“The 12 elite bowmen have also replenished enough feather arrows and the throwing skills of the 19 elites have all reached a high standard. In addition, we have stockpiled a full 2,000 qualified wooden spears, so as long as we defend against the danger, the deer demon’s army shouldn’t be able to break through.
“As for the five enchanted weapons you made, we should be able to hold off on using them for now and observe what happens before dealing a fatal blow to that deer demon. As long as we kill it, it will be as good as winning.”
Wu Yuan methodically replied. He was the one who handled all the affairs inside-out these few days. But soon after, he hesitantly asked, “Village Chief, are you really not going to try it? I feel that the enchanted weapons are stronger in your hands. After all, it is an enchanted weapon.”
“Of course, I know it is an enchanted weapon, but the problem is that the durability of this thing is only 1. It’s a disposable consumable. I’ve put in so much effort, so it’s not for me to waste for my own enjoyment. The real main force of the battle is still you, so these enchanted spears must be thrown by you and your men.”
Zhang Yang instantly refused Wu Yuan’s suggestion.
What a joke. I said I am an immortal cultivator and you took it for real? I have no foundation, so it’s better to play it safe. After we get through this deer demon-crisis, we can play as much as we want.
“All right, everyone catch a break. It is going to be a vicious battle,” Zhang Yang said and returned to the Tree Demon Tower, seizing the time to recover his soul energy.
There was one hour left before the village was successfully built. He was curious to see the changes after the construction of the village.
What is worth letting the deer demon hibernate for so long?
Time flew.
When the countdown reached zero, in an instant, the pitch-black night sky was enveloped by a white brilliance. A full 2,000 white squares appeared and lasted for a dozen seconds before disappearing.
Immediately after that, two buildings appeared on the hillock. One was a training ground and the other was barracks. As for the Tree Demon Tower, it had been successfully upgraded to level 2.
At the same time, a series of information was mapped out before Zhang Yang’s eyes.
[Village Building Succeeded.
Awarded 500 Energy Points.
Village and the Village Building Order have perfectly fused and can no longer be carried around.
Village Building Mission 1:
Make your village survive for at least 300 years. You only have 20 years to develop the layout.
If you fail this mission, you will be killed!
Village Building Mission 2:
Recruit at least 500 natives and seal the extras in the Village Building Order.
Village Building Mission 3:
Collect at least 10 perfect Wish Fragments (White).
Note: This mission is not mandatory. But if you don’t make an effort to collect them, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Village Building Mission 4:
Defeat at least 15 holders of a Village Building Order within 20 years and upgrade your Village Building Order to (Blue). Otherwise, you will live here forever.
Current Progress: 1/15
Friendly Reminder (1):
Before the Village Building Order has officially fused with the village, the Village Building Order will not be dropped after the holder is killed.
The Village Building Order will continue to be held by holders of the same race, who are also eligible to be bound by the Village Building Order.
But once the Village Building Order has officially fused with the village, it will be dropped at a rate of 100 percent after the holder is killed unless the holder’s successor meets the Village Building Order’s conditions, which are set in advance.
Friendly Reminder (2):
Once the Village Building Order drops, the Civilization Code of the holder’s race will also have a high chance of dropping.
Once the Civilization Code is fully deciphered, the said race will become the target of invasion by other races! It will eventually lead to the race’s extinction.
At present, deciphering progress of Earth’s civilization code: 17.986%
Friendly Reminder (3):
Don’t treat this as a game. Don’t be limited by your path because there are a myriad of possibilities.
Good luck.]
Zhang Yang opened his eyes to find the surroundings pitch black. The emotions he was feeling was more than what the word of ‘motherf*cker’ could describe.
However, he still tried his best to stop the ten thousand horses galloping in his head. Because he knew that he had no time to question, be furious, or complain about anything.
That’s right, he was fooled by that deer demon!
Combined with the information earlier, the truth of the matter was apparent. Regardless of unheard concepts like that damn Village Building Mission or Civilization Code, there was no doubt that the deer demon was his rival. It was a rivalry that wouldn’t end until either one of them was dead.
In fact, five days ago, that deer demon actually had the ability to obliterate Zhang Yang and his men.
But it didn’t do so because the Village Building Order wouldn’t drop as a loot. The deer demon pretended to look at the Tree Demon Tower and forced Zhang Yang to find a random hillock to infuse the Village Building Order in order to protect the Tree Demon Tower.
For the next 108 hours, the deer demon didn’t show up. It was even possible that it had driven away all the demons in the neighborhood in order to wait for Zhang Yang to successfully build a village.
Because by then, the drop rate of the Village Building Order would be 100 percent after killing Zhang Yang!
Just like how Zhang Yang killed the spider lord.
As long as he destroyed 15 villages and murdered 15 village chiefs, he could return to Earth.
Return my *ss! What’s with this turn of events?
But then again, it will still be good to be able to return to Earth.
Also, what the hell is up with that deciphering progress of Earth’s civilization code? How can it be accurate to three digits after the decimal point? Does one Village Building Order represent 0.001%?
If that’s the case, does that mean the entire Earth population has at least 100,000 Village Building Order?
If the former holders of the Village Building Order are also included, won’t that equal to 80 million people?
Why do I suddenly feel like things are changing yet again?
And with such a large scale of people mysteriously missing or dead, the government should have known and intervened long ago, right?
Or is the Village Building Order made by the government for the sake of invading other civilizations, breaking out of the galaxy, and fighting for the hegemony of the universe? Goddammit, won’t this mean that this has become a galaxical war?
All kinds of scenes flashed in Zhang Yang’s mind. But in the end, he didn’t make a fuss about anything. Because no matter what the secret behind the Village Building Order is in the end, he had to live in this world, build a village, and let this village survive at least 300 years. Meanwhile, he only had 20 years of control over it. This was just ridiculous…
After letting out a long sigh, Zhang Yang gathered his thoughts and checked the attributes of the Village Building Order to update the mapping again.

After reading the brand new attributes of this Village Building Order, Zhang Yang felt much better. At the same time, he was even more confident about the upcoming battle.
That deer demon was certainly cunning to set up this trap for him to jump into. But then again, Zhang Yang had a powerful ace card as well.
The Level 2 Tree Demon Tower alone brought him a great deal of surprise, so much so that perhaps the deer demon would also be caught off guard. After all, how could it have guessed that the Tree Demon Tower had been leveled up?
Or even if it managed to guess it, could it be so divine to guess that Zhang Yang was actually able to become a master craftsman and create enchanted weapons?
Let’s have a battle to decide the winner.
Looking at the dark night sky, Zhang Yang sneered.
