The night passed, most spent it in peace, some were buried this night, and some weren't even able to live till the night.
Although all those who get the Lord Heart are driven people, it doesn't mean they aren't stupid. Stupid people can be considered the majority.
The sun rose on the lord continent as most creatures opened their eyes, those near any lord's territory sighed with tiredness as they had to deal with the lords.
Major kingdoms and empires started to move as information about various lords was being collected rapidly.
Neo's information was also collected, but seeing that he only has one hero, they started to ignore him.
And just as the sun completely rose, all the leaders of various countries got the lord's information in their hands.
At that moment, all nations made a decision, and they listed the five strongest lords. Such a list could be considered hasty, if not for the fact that it was vouched by some ancient beings of the continent.
[1- The Titans Path: ???]
[2- Death Gazed: ???]
[3- Servant of the Holy One: Yaman]
[4- Elemental Savior: ???]
[5- World Tree Chosen: Karin]
Except for the names of the two, others are still variously mysterious, but there is one thing common about all these five.
Each of them has concurred very large areas of land on the first day and taken the other nearby race as their followers.
The Titans Path descended in the mountains of the north, becoming a headache for the dwarves and giants there.
Death Gazed and Servant of the Holy One descended on the eastern region near the central plain of that region.
Though the humans and the beast men that live in that area don't show much concern, after all they think that these two lords will fight against each other.
Elemental Savior descended on the edge of the rocky western region connected to the northern forest.
The elves of the northern forest and the Ogres have an exact opposite idea for this lord, one wished to follow the lord and other wished to destroy it.
As for the World Tree Chosen, she descended on the Northern region near the edge of the world, the elves and the nature folks are quite happy with this lord.
As for the races that are not near the area, they have taken a neutral stand for now, after all they have their own concerns about other lords that have descended in their territory.
Neo yawned as he stretched his hands, although he had just bathed, he was still somewhat sleepy. Slapping himself in the face, he did a small morning jog near the safe zone of his territory.
Stella was practicing her self-taught swordsmanship near the lord's building, well, her body was doing the practice.
Her mind and eyes were completely focused on Neo, who was simply too focused to notice this.
"Time to upgrade some buildings."
Neo said after finishing his jog, he had checked the Lord's Chat but nothing of significance was happening.
Stella stood one step behind him like a bodyguard as Neo focused on checking all his resources and doing calculations.
Building: Lord House(Supernatural)
Upgrade: 1000 Lord Points, 10 Supernatural(low) Monster Core, Wood(50), Stone(50)
Effect: Restoration rate increased(50%)
Details: A house where a person can live and rest.
He had all the resources collected due to a certain sugar mommy, well, as for the Monster core, after using the necessary ones, he still had 40 left over.
Although 30 of them were of low quality, but still, this can be considered a small wealth.
So he chose to upgrade..
With a flash of white light, the ordinary house started to change as its size started to increase. Its structure also changed as it became a ancient mansion made of wood and stone.
Although it looked like a normal mansion, the aura it released gave a feeling of transcendence.
Building: Lord Mansion(Transcendent)
Upgrade: 100,000 Lord Points, 100 Transcendent(Top) Monster Core, Wood(5000), Stone(5000), Iron(500), Star Silver(5)
Effect: Restoration rate increased(500%), Enlightenment rate Increased(200%)
Details: A mansion worthy of a lord, it can restore all those who step on it. It is the place where even sages seek enlightenment.
Looking at the upgrade condition, his heart started to bleed. Then he sighed, he understood that the previous cheap upgrade condition was a gift for the novice lord.
Now that it has become the Transcendent rank, the price for the upgrade has finally reached the normal value.
Looking at the effects given his heart bloomed with joy, he couldn't believe his luck. Such a rare effect appeared so quickly.
"My Dear Lord, Congratulations."
Stella whispered from behind him as she saw his smile, although she didn't know the reason for his happiness, but as long as he is happy she is happy.
If Neo knew her though, he would probably be confused, after all he had given her permission to look at all the buildings.
Neo said as he looked at the fence in the territory panel, not even looking at the condition he upgraded it.
With his command, the fence changed as it turned into a two-meter sturdy wood and stone mixed wall.
It had two openings closed by sturdy, thick stone gates.
Building: Rebound Wall(Transcendent)
Upgrade: 5000 Lord Points, 50 Transcendent(Top) Monster Core, Wood(2000), Stone(1500), Iron(250), Star Silver(1), Enchanted Gold(5)
Effect: Durability Increased 300%, Rebounds Attack received 20%
Details: A sturdy wall that can absorb and reflect the attack of the attacker.
'I am on a roll today.'
Neo, though, as he looked at the second effect. It was almost the perfect wall a lord can have. After all, due to the rule of the Lord's territory, only by destroying the outer wall can one enter the lord's inner territory.
"Well then, Stella, let's go on a hunt, Today's goal."
"Destroy and conquer a nearby Tribe!!"
The only way to get the Lord's chest, which rewards the Lord's Building construction blueprint. Also, if he manages to conquer a tribe, his troubles due to lack of manpower will be solved.
And it's not like they are as weak as they were yesterday, both of them have reached the Supernatural(Top) rank.
Rank: Supernatural (Top)
Physique: 19 Energy: 20 Vitality: 21
Skills: [Basic Swordsmanship], [Basic Archery]
He could be considered as the higher tier of the supernatural(top) rank, as for Stella.
Rank: Supernatural (Top)

Swift: Increase Movement and Thinking speed by 20%
Poison Body: Body can produce deathly poison which can be manipulated.
Harden Body: The skin and bones are very tough.

Due to the blessing her stats have skyrocketed, and with her talent every enemy killed by her has become a fuel for her growth.
Stella's Swordsmanship(Middle): A swordsmanship learned in battle, can increase sword proficiency by 100%. Using it can condense the sword breath of Stars, which does 20% extra damage.
Her swordsmanship also had a change, a very big change which directly reached the middle grade and can even condense a breath of the sword.
It is also called the embryo of the sword intent. As for why it is related to stars, Noe is not quite sure.
"As you command, My Dear Lord."
Do give me some Power Stone.!!!!!
Also for those wondering, here's Stella's stats without the blessing.
Physique: 12(5) Energy: 8(3) Vitality: 11(9)
