Lin Mu did not know that at the moment Qingfeng Stronghold became a vassal territory, the Yellow Dragon Divine Command in the back hall of True Dragon Village's assembly hall suddenly erupted with countless rays of light. A dragon-shaped beam of light soared into the sky, seemingly unbound by spatial constraints. In the blink of an eye, it soared above Qingfeng Stronghold, hovered for a moment, and then its phantom dragon head dove down, ignoring all buildings, and plunged violently into the territory stone monument of Qingfeng Stronghold.
At that moment, Lin Mu felt a surge of spatial turbulence, as if a divine existence had rushed into the stone monument.
When the dragon-shaped light appeared, Chang Yin and Feng Zhong both raised their heads simultaneously, gazing at the light as if it were completely visible to them!
"Prosperous dragon luck, soaring through the nine heavens; the hidden dragon rises from the abyss, and the dynasty begins from the pulse! It seems the Lord has begun to show his initial brilliance and rising prominence!" Chang Yin and Feng Zhong spoke these words almost in unison, as if sharing a single mind!
Lin Mu, a mere mortal lord, could not see or hear any of this; to him, the dragon shadow was nothing more than a slight sensation of spatial instability.
From this point on, the attributes of Qingfeng Stronghold underwent a massive transformation

Seeing the massive change in Qingfeng Stronghold's attributes, Lin Mu was certain of the mystery behind the God-tier territory's mirror attributes. Furthermore, once Lin Mu completed the mirror setup, Qingfeng Stronghold had been renamed to Qingfeng Town!
"Ding!"
"—System Prompt: Lord Lin Mu, due to Qingfeng Town possessing the mirror attributes of a God-tier territory, the Profound-tier Village Building Command can be dismantled. Congratulations, you have obtained a Profound-tier Village Building Command!"
Another notification sounded, and the stone monument suddenly transformed into a streak of light. With a *whoosh*, a Profound-tier Village Building Command appeared in Lin Mu's hand. He now possessed two of them! If other players found out he had two Profound-tier commands, they would go absolutely mad! Currently, obtaining a Village Building Command was extremely difficult for players, and its value had skyrocketed due to the competition among countless wealthy individuals.
What Lin Mu hadn't expected was that after establishing the mirror attribute, the territory's building command could actually be taken away and reused. Was this a legendary bug? *Great Goddess Nüwa, you won't destroy me, will you?*
*If this is true, then I can establish territories infinitely! Expand my territory infinitely! Can it really be this domineering?!* Lin Mu was both shocked and overjoyed, pacing restlessly in the back hall.
Lin Mu pondered for a moment and felt it might not be feasible. When establishing the mirror attribute, one of the attributes was retained; in other words, the Profound-tier command was actually now incomplete, missing one attribute. If he used this command to build a village and then performed the mirror operation again to retain another attribute, the command would lose yet another attribute. Eventually, the command's attributes would be exhausted, and it would no longer be able to establish a village. It seemed there were still limitations in place.
Lin Mu was not disappointed. Even if he couldn't expand infinitely, the mystery of his God-tier territory could save the Huaxia Server a massive number of Village Building Commands!
In the global world, Lin Mu did not know the total number of Village Building Commands in *Mythical World*, but they certainly weren't infinite. If the Huaxia Server could establish many vassal territories because of him, thereby reducing the consumption of commands, then the foundation of the Huaxia Server would be much stronger and more resilient than other national servers.
Establishing a territory, in a sense, could be described as plundering or increasing a certain level of foundation.
In the future, Lin Mu could expand his territory while using fewer commands, allowing him to sell some to other Huaxia players so they could establish more territories. Lin Mu thought of that great achievement from the first server! Its rewards involved the entire nation! Lin Mu felt a surge of excitement!
That achievement was for when the total number of independent territories owned by players in a nation reached 100. At that point, the nation would undergo its first system update, and the rewards were incredibly bountiful, even increasing the legendary National Power Value!
This national achievement required the collective foundation and strength of the nation's lord-class players; it required the joint efforts of all players!
*Now that this "bug" with the Yellow Dragon Divine Command exists, I should be able to bring that legendary reward back to the Huaxia Server...* Lin Mu steeled his resolve.
The requirement of 100 independent territories did not include the vassal territories under existing players; they had to be independent territories. Lin Mu checked the Huaxia Server's system announcements and saw that there had already been 58 announcements regarding established villages. He hadn't heard them before because he had muted those notifications!
*To think Great Huaxia already has 58 territories. Thinking back to my past life, there shouldn't have been this many. It's only been five months since the start, and the difficulty for players to obtain territories is still very high!*
*It must be because of the flap of my little butterfly wings!*
Previously, if he had assumed the mirror attribute didn't exist, he would have needed to use his commands to build new villages and then have them attach to his territory as vassals to expand his range.
Now, that shouldn't be necessary for a while. *Should I go to the trading market and sell these two commands?* Lin Mu thought, feeling conflicted.
Regardless of his worries, the first vassal territory of True Dragon Village had appeared, and there would be more in the future. The territory's borders would grow wider and larger! Lin Mu's ambition burned like a raging fire, his eyes shining with determination.
One of the four large strongholds had fallen into his pocket!
Now, he needed to conquer the second one: Azure Dragon Stronghold!
Looking at the third item of his territory series quest—"Subdue Azure Dragon Stronghold"—a fierce, battle-hungry smile appeared on Lin Mu's lips. *Hehe, Azure Dragon Stronghold, just you wait! Once I'm ready, I'm coming for you. Come into my bowl...*
===============
Please collect and vote! Lin Mu has begun subduing territories. Although it is within an internal valley, it is a beginning!
