The changes in Blackwater City could not have happened quietly; many surrounding cities also showed unusual activity and even frequently tested the waters.
Stan and the others did not intend to hide this from each other.
The appearance of a legendary figure is a momentous event in this world, and most importantly, with the strength of a legendary figure, there is no need to hide it.
However, even if they didn't hide it, many of the residents of the surrounding cities were unwilling to believe it.
How could a legendary figure suddenly emerge in such a barren place?
Old Master Stan didn't care this time either, since none of these people would be able to escape anyway. Right now, he just wanted to work peacefully for the Heavenly King.
With the joint efforts of many professionals, a brand new city was quickly established.
After the last invasion by the demonic scourge, the former Blackwater City warriors, while not exactly united, were certainly incredibly organized.
The ability to mobilize the entire population of a city would be nothing short of a miracle in any other place.
Organizational strength largely determines the true power of a force.
Many powerful forces may appear large, but the resources and manpower they can mobilize are actually quite limited, making it easy for their powerful image to be exposed.
Stan and the others were completely unaware of this, taking it all for granted.
With a legendary expert in charge, shouldn't the subordinates be more proactive?
Moreover, during the time it took to build the city, thanks to the nurturing of the Dream Realm and the supply of massive amounts of demonic resources, all the people of Blackwater City became professionals.
Such a situation, where everyone is a professional, is only found in bustling cities, but as a legendary city, this condition is perfectly reasonable.
"Your Majesty, the new city has been completed," Elder Stan said respectfully, though a Gold-level expert, his face showed signs of fatigue.
Clearly, Stan has put in a tremendous amount of effort for this new city, and has basically not rested at all until now.
“Very good, worthy of commendation…” Lu Yunhe nodded, the construction time was about the same as he had estimated.
“Not only you, but everyone who participated in building the dream city deserves to be rewarded.”
Lu Yunhe smiled. Although these people had long been fundamentally marked by him, some of the necessary reward procedures still had to be followed.
He merely imprinted certain things on these people, but he didn't completely change their minds or ways of thinking. After all, without these things, they would truly be no different from puppets.
For Lu Yunhe, what he needs are people who can continue to delve deeper into their professional careers, not a group of puppets.
If he simply wanted some powerful puppets, he had an easier way and didn't need to go through all this trouble.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to build the city, Lu Yunhe was also able to rightfully reward those who had experienced a butterfly dream transformation.
As long as these people are willing, Lu Yunhe has plenty of things that can enhance their strength.
Professional level is just a realm, not a representation of true strength. With his training, challenging opponents of higher levels is the most basic requirement.
"This is what subordinates should do."
Upon hearing the Heavenly King's words, Ancestor Stan felt that his efforts over the past period had paid off, and that they were no longer outsiders.
Lu Yunhe then arrived at the city wall of Dream City, where everyone was already waiting. A huge number of professionals stood densely packed together, but overall they exuded an unparalleled sense of order.
Although it is called a city, it is already a small country in some respects.
However, Lu Yunhe was already used to this kind of thing and didn't feel anything about it.
But the many Gold-level experts standing to the side were already filled with excitement at the sight before them.
This orderly system is something that no force that forcibly pulls in to manage can match.
Order, to some extent, is power.
Even when Stan and his ancestor built Blackwater City, there was no such sight.
Lu Yunhe glanced at the city below. As a newly built city, it was quite rough and only relatively complete in general.
Every ancient city requires constant repair and construction over many years, unless he is willing to take action.
"The City of Dreams is also the beginning of my journey on the path of dreams in this world."
Lu Yunhe used his primordial power to inscribe the city's name on the gate, and a dreamlike power instantly enveloped everyone.
Using the power of the mythical beast, Lu Yunhe once again baptized these people.
It instantly restored professionals who had been working hard during this period to their peak, enabling them to work even harder.
How can you become stronger without hard work?
Even a king like him has to work hard, let alone these small fry.
"Is that what legends are all about?!"
Although Stan didn't specifically invite them, nearby forces still sent people to gather information.
These people were stunned as soon as they approached the Dream City. Its prosperity and splendor were secondary; what they were truly amazed by was the power and technology it exuded, something that could never be found in this barren land.
His skill alone put immense pressure on those who came to observe.
In this barren land, to spend so much money to build such a city, it must not be for enjoyment, right?
The subsequent appearance of the legendary Heavenly King shocked the visitors even more. They never expected that Ancestor Stan and the others had not lied; a legend had truly appeared here.
Legend, as the name suggests, refers to something extraordinary that defies common sense. But for a small place like Blackwater City to produce a legend is simply too far beyond common sense; it can almost be called a miracle.
"Gulu!"
"What should we do next?"
The visitors, seeing the legendary beings appear, dared not look up and stare directly at them, and could only lower their heads to hide their fear.
"What else can we do? Just let it be!" Some people choose to give up.
A legendary being, practically invincible in this barren land, a power that even a Gold-level expert couldn't withstand with all their might.
"Even a legendary realm expert cannot make me submit." Someone was clearly unwilling to submit to others.
Why can't you just be your own boss? Why do you have to find yourself a boss?
Even if you are a legend, you can't help others become legends. For a gold-level character who is only one shot away from becoming a legend, the temptation is not great.
They've come all this way to a place like this; clearly, they don't want to find another owner for themselves.
What's frustrating is that when I had nothing, I could run around freely, but now that I've settled down, even though my business is only so-so, it's something I built up with hard work, and I can't give it up easily.
Even if I wanted to escape, I couldn't do it alone, but I also couldn't possibly escape with the entire city or my family.
Ignoring the visitors' opinions, the construction of the Dream City continued steadily.
Although there are many professionals, the Dream City's resources are sufficient to accommodate them all. If it wanted to expand, it might not even have enough population.
From top to bottom, everyone in the entire Dream City got busy.
The construction of a new city is just the beginning; there are still many things to be done.
Especially for professionals, their core job is self-cultivation!
Now that he had become his subordinate, Lu Yunhe naturally wouldn't hold back.
Various localized secret techniques are also open to everyone in the Dream City.
"Is this really something we can cultivate?" Ancestor Stan looked at his access to the secret treasure vault and couldn't help but feel dazzled. With his knowledge, he could only tell that these were all legendary-level secret techniques.
However, this was still not the most top-tier treasure in the vault; there were still secret techniques he did not have permission to view.
Even with only Gold-level strength, one cannot cultivate any powerful secret techniques.
Anyone who can cultivate even one chapter will greatly increase his strength, making it common for him to fight against many opponents.
What surprised Stan even more was that such a powerful secret technique should have been very difficult to master, but for some reason, it was surprisingly easy for him to pick it up, as if it had been made for him out of the blue.
After the Dream City was established, many professionals immersed themselves in the Dream World, frantically enriching their knowledge and skills.
Lu Yunhe only improved their fundamental qualities; he didn't cram all sorts of knowledge into them. If he had to do even that for them, then these people would truly be nothing more than puppets.
Besides various incredible secret techniques, there are also numerous professional paths and part-time/secondary professions.
As a complete force, it is impossible for everyone to only know how to use force; some people also need to master various production and manufacturing technologies.
Blacksmith, array master, enchanter... many professions can be used as secondary professions without affecting the growth of the primary profession. Sometimes they even complement each other and can be switched between each other.
Lower-level deputy positions focus solely on technical skills, while higher-level positions can involve "the Way" and allow for full-time dedication.
The professions in the Dream City suddenly became extremely busy, frantically consuming the resources left over from before, until they were completely exhausted.

Chapter 844 External Expansion
The main continent of Adela is divided into five major domains from a higher-dimensional perspective: the East, South, West, North, and Central Domains. Each domain is further divided into a vast number of sub-regions.
Various kingdoms and secret realms are scattered across numerous regions.
Blackwater City, on the other hand, is located in the "Wilderness" of the far north. Apart from the tireless temple personnel, no one with even a little strength is willing to come here.
With weak primordial power and scarce resources, it is difficult to gain the favor of the world's will.
For those with greater strength, even their usual cultivation would be difficult to sustain here, let alone advance any further.
Of course, the influence between humans and the environment is mutual. If resources are already scarce and no one is willing to develop and cultivate them, then the environment can only become more scarce.
Professionals absorb the primordial power from the unseen realm, and after death, their bodies merge into the world, which is, in a sense, also a form of gestation and transformation.
However, due to the clustering effect of people, many talented people who left barren lands carried with them a great deal of favor and their original essence, and eventually took root and flourished in prosperous lands.
This action made the already impoverished area even worse off.
Although the overall global level remains unchanged, the differences are significant when applied to specific localities.
In places like the Desolate Realm, unless an unparalleled powerhouse intervenes and uses their own essence to cultivate it, it can never catch up with the central regions.
Generally, it's only when people like Stan are truly out of options that they choose to develop these barren lands, hoping that one day they can reach those core areas.
Many temples provide support and even assistance to those who expand the borders, but so little progress has been made.
Lu Yunhe was naturally aware of these restrictions, but he did nothing about them, because he was the peerless master.
The invasion of the Abyss, with countless demons dying here, has had a significant impact.
He also had some knowledge of the art of sacrifice.
