Chapter 1060: Chapter 562 Tunnel Alliance (4K)
The Lord of Han Yue City couldn’t help but curse in Tai Xuan.
At this moment, it was night, but not to mention the lights of Tianyuan City shining brightly, even in the true extreme night, she could see the scenery before her eyes without any difference.
A distance of several dozen kilometers was similarly not an obstacle.
Gazing at Tianyuan City was as easy as it could be.
Of course, she was just taking a distant look at Tianyuan City and wouldn’t scrutinize the details or explore those important areas—much less those areas that Tianyuan City would surely conceal.
Miracle buildings like a Domain Interferer were enough to block most investigations.
The Lord of Han Yue had personally made a trip to Tianyuan City just to see what degree this young man, whose talents were not inferior to hers, had developed his territory.
Her own territory’s development had been quite rough.
Tianyuan was probably about the same, right?
Levels might leap forward through enormous opportunities due to innate talent, but the construction of a city had to proceed step by step.
And this process was very, very costly!
But what about Tianyuan City, built in just two years?
The city walls were towering, and buildings stood row upon row.

City walls, tall defensive structures, occasional utility buildings—these were often Miracle Buildings that could be rapidly constructed as long as resources were in place. However, a city holds few miracle buildings; most ordinary buildings had to be constructed brick by brick.
In Tianyuan City, the arrangements of buildings were neatly organized, the streets were wide and clean, and the attire of the people, although not lavish, was far better than that of most Territory Citizens, who dressed in simple monotony.
The spirit of the residents of Tianyuan City was also quite robust, among them were not few apprentices at high stages, and even ordinary people at the Professional level.
It’s known that as the number of Territory Citizens increases, the pressure on a Lord to support their own citizens also escalates.
Often, a Lord could only ensure the basic sustenance of ordinary Territory Citizens, providing living conditions that meet the “Tai Xuan minimum standards.” As a result, many town-level and city-level Lords, upon finding out they couldn’t support… or didn’t have enough ordinary positions available, would disable their Guiding Landmark’s ability, no longer accepting refugees.
These were the Lords of the Tai Xuan Alliance. Many years ago, Tai Xuan had introduced policies to safeguard the basic rights of Territory Citizens.
Lords of Tai Xuan, who had all received higher education from Lanxing, would certainly not treat Territory Citizens as slaves, at most as beasts of burden.
Having experienced various hardships, refugees were satisfied with just working hard, eating well, wearing warm clothes, and possibly other benefits.
But outside of Tai Xuan, some places truly treated Territory Citizens as expendables.
Many territories were just town-level or small city-level; they simply didn’t need that many people, and so they just recruited another batch when the existing citizens were exhausted.
Tianyuan City was located deep in the wilderness, surrounded by pervasive dangers, which meant it was difficult to cultivate farmland outside the city.
At the same time, Tianyuan City faced difficulties in external trade; the costs of purchasing food and various life materials from the outside world were much higher than normal territories.
The Lord of Han Yue originally thought that the living conditions in Tianyuan City would be relatively backward, which was unavoidable.
Between living standards and survival, the latter was obviously more important.
“But, the living standard of my Han Yue City isn’t inferior at all: population, economy, even stronger than Tianyuan City by a large margin!”
Although she complained about poverty, she would never skimp on the life welfare of her citizens.
On the contrary, compared to other similar large cities, Han Yue City’s living standard was among the top.
Just in this aspect stronger than Tianyuan City, proud? Proud my ass!
Moreover…
Her gaze swept over.
The towering black city walls resembled a giant dragon, lying across the vast land. Within it, buildings were arranged neatly, trees were lush, and golden rice ears swayed in the wind on the farmland.
There flowed a raging river from within the city;
Above a hundred-meter-tall tree, decorative lights twinkled with neon lighting, illuminating the unfinished cabin on the tree, and also decorating this robust and large tree, usually rare within the city, like a dreamy fairy tale tree;
Two large bridges across the river were under construction; even though it was nighttime, workers could be seen busily rushing the work, and Legendary Strongmen manipulating the Power of Heaven and Earth were either grabbing huge steel modules or driving river water apart to expose the riverbed;
More construction sites erected by the riverbank, numerous projects underway simultaneously.
The Lord of Han Yue City was very clear why at first glance she felt that Tianyuan City was even bigger than hers. It truly was very large.
Tianyuan City, sparse in population, seemed to be built aiming for the scale of a city of millions, which was quite enormous at a glance. Inside the city, there were towering peaks, with each Miracle Building built against the mountains, grand and distinctive.
Farther away, an energy torrent that looked like a reverse waterfall was truly a sight to behold.
She felt that these places could even draw a circle of land and collect admission fees.
And thus, even though Han Yue City had a larger population and a more thriving commerce, this initial impression was still inferior to that of Tianyuan City.
So infuriating!
Eat a lemon!
No, I can’t eat my junior’s lemon; after all, I am a legendary figure who led an era of Tai Xuan, a prominent predecessor.
The Lord of Han Yue City took a deep breath and pulled her thoughts back.
The pressing matter at hand was to experience the spatial tunnels a few more times and discuss specific cooperation matters.
She took out an Epic Treasure of the Secret Realm type and released the accompanying personnel one by one.
