[Central Courtyard Divine Palace] as a Legendary-level Miracle Building, its effects are undoubtedly very powerful.

Not to mention its other functions, even if it's just that consuming a unit of Divine Palace Spiritual Energy can cultivate a Legendary-level Holy Blood Warrior, Lin Rui must build it immediately.

The minimum daily accumulation of Divine Palace Spiritual Energy Value is 100 points, and to enhance a Holy Blood Warrior, 500,000 units of stored spiritual energy in the Divine Palace are needed.

That is 1,000 days, over a hundred cycles.

Therefore, this building must rely on the [Historically Significant] trait to accelerate in order to be effective.

However, the advantage is that this building can also be accelerated by the territory's faith sacrifice and special rituals.

Lin Rui immediately set out to reinforce it, at least to lower this consumption value, or to increase the base accumulation of spiritual energy value.

Otherwise, relying solely on absorbing the spiritual energy from the sun and moon, it will take three years to train a soldier, who could endure that?

Of course, this three-year soldier training is a theoretical value, assuming the entire territory is deserted with only this lone building here, without any citizen activities or church sacrifices.

It wouldn't be that long in reality.

The specific accumulation number still needs to wait for the building to be constructed and see it in light of the actual situation of the territory.

[Legendary-level Miracle Building: Central Courtyard Divine Palace, first enhancement, consumes 100,000,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 100,000,000 Gems, 100,000,000 Vibranium, 100,000,000 Crystals, 100,000,000 Mithril, 100% success rate, enhance?]

At first glance, this number made Lin Rui feel a bit dizzy.

This is the third time Lin Rui is enhancing a miracle building; previously, he enhanced Titan Sky Mountain Cliff and the Legendary Wonder Building: Sorcerer's Silver Tower, consuming 100,000 of Spirit Crystal Coins and other high-tier resources.

The number of one hundred thousand was already unsettling enough, not to mention this time directly consuming one billion!

As expected, a Legendary-level Miracle Building indeed.

Even with the current wealth of the Golden Pansy Domain, facing this enhancement is still a stretch.

Lin Rui could only grit his teeth and make the payment.

[Ding, Legendary-level Miracle Building: Central Courtyard Divine Palace, enhancement successful, current level grants Divine Blessing once.]

[Legendary-level Miracle Building: Central Courtyard Divine Palace, first enhancement, consumes 500,000,000 Spirit Crystal Coins, 500,000,000 Gems, 500,000,000 Vibranium, 500,000,000 Crystals, 500,000,000 Mithril, 50% success rate, enhance?]

The second enhancement cost was as expected by Lin Rui, so he decisively chose to pay and then closed the enhancement page.

For the next enhancement, the cost would be in the twenty billion range.

It's not that he can't afford it, but further investment would no longer be worth it.

This Legendary-level Miracle Building: Central Courtyard Divine Palace, while each function is strong, is not indispensable for the territory, and more of an embellishment.

Palace complexes are usually of such significance.

They can demonstrate power, but without them, a faction's foundation won't be affected.

And the enhancement's effect is similar. The spiritual energy consumption for cultivating Holy Blood Warriors lowered from 500,000 to 300,000, and the daily natural accumulation of Divine Palace Spiritual Energy Value increased from 100 points to 300 points, while energy efficiency gathered from faith sacrifices and special rituals increased by 30%.

This means even relying only on basic accumulation, it only takes 100 days to cultivate a Holy Blood Warrior, that is, seven cycles for a Legendary-level Warrior.

Calculating this way, ten Legendary-level Warriors a year, not even slightly worse than the Zodiac.

Moreover, the Forbidden Army capacity increased to 50,000, and Command Value consumption decreased by 75%. Territory work efficiency increased by 45%.

However, the cost is also substantial, as the scale of this palace complex has expanded by nearly one-third, increasing the blueprint size.

Hence, the building requirements increased to [Spirit Crystal Coins*300,000,000, Gems*300,000,000, Crystals*300,000,000, Vibranium*300,000,000, Workers*300,000, consumption time 3,600 hours.]

The building scale increased by one-third, yet consumption surged threefold, requiring thirty thousand workers and 7,200 hours of consumption.

If workers are insufficient, the consumption time grows accordingly.

No need to think much; the workers in the Golden Pansy Domain obviously won't be enough, and the entire Golden Pansy Domain doesn't have a population of thirty thousand, even three thousand workers would be good.

This implies the construction period for this building might last up to four years and two months.

Building a large palace, taking four years is relatively normal.

Lin Rui had no complaints; he could only resort to [Populous Population] and [Historically Significant] traits to push through.

However, with both the Zodiac and Central Courtyard Divine Palace construction blueprints lined up, the territory's land area became insufficient again.

Caroline took the blueprint from Lin Rui's hand, then said: "Lord, we might need to consider expanding the territorial area."

This issue, Lin Rui wasn't worried about it.

As a Lord, what is the most important?

I dedicate my heart and soul?

Of course not.

It's expanding borders and exploiting the lower class.

For a territory to develop in isolation, how hard would it be to open up a thousand kilometers of territorial area?

It likely requires a massive investment of wealth and resources.

Perseverance, hard work, and constant inner struggle are exceedingly difficult.

Thus everyone wants to become a dominant power, receiving tributes.

Golden Pansy Domain just advanced to city status, of course, it needs to expand its radius of influence, incorporating all nearby Feudal Domains into the Golden Pansy Domain's color, making them part of the plan for map and power development.

The primary task is to affirm the vassals' contributions and obligations.

Which are land, finance, and soldiers.

These three need Lin Rui to issue collection orders, meaning filling a number behind each item.

Initially, Lin Rui didn't want the territory expansion too much, so for land, Lin Rui just filled in a 1 first. This meant all Feudal Domains would cede 1 kilometer of land to Golden Pansy Town, so if they originally had 10 kilometers of land, it would reduce to 9, whereas Lin Rui would cumulatively gain 10 kilometers, triggering the [Vast Territory] trait twice for Territorial Essence.
