Additionally, in front of the defensive perimeter, Lin Yu had also dispatched some plant people that evolved from Corn Shooters. During their gigantification, all of these plant people chose to merge with other Corn Shooters of their own kind, and then they underwent a change that was beyond everyone’s expectations.

After these plant people merged with Corn Shooters of their own kind, they didn’t grow two corn launchers. Instead, they transformed into a giant corn launching platform—the Corn Cannon.

Their incredibly high damage made them stand out among the level 10-plus plant people. Unfortunately, this phenomenon of becoming abnormally powerful by devouring their own kind only occurred with these Corn Shooters. Other defensive plants just had their damage doubled as normal.

The number of Corn Cannon plant people was not large, just over ten thousand. After all, the total number of Corn Shooters wasn’t considered high among the defensive plants—only a bit over a billion—and most of them were newly-grown, low-level defensive plants.

Before gaining sentience, these defensive plants could only passively absorb Spiritual Energy to level up under the influence of the territory’s properties, or gain EXP by killing enemies. As a result, their leveling speed was extremely slow.

Moreover, unless a defensive plant was already a plant person before breaking through to level 10 gigantification, it was uncertain what plant they would devour at level 10. They simply made do with what was available, consuming whatever was nearby. Therefore, not all Corn Shooters devoured their own kind when they broke through to level 10.

After learning about the Corn Cannon plant people, these Corn Shooters were filled with regret. They all swore to find an unevolved member of their own kind to eat when they reached level 20.

Lin Yu divided these ten thousand Corn Cannons into five groups, assigning them to the legions in five different directions and letting their commanders deploy them flexibly.

Of course, before the enemy invaded the territory, these Corn Cannon plant people were all arranged along the outer edge of the defensive perimeter to attack the advancing foes.

...

By the time he finished arranging these projectile-throwing plants, nearly a full day had passed. The sky was growing dim, and Lin Yu withdrew from his state of deep fusion with the World Tree.

He then created a clone (the 12-hour cooldown was over) and had it merge with the heart of the territory, continuing the state of fusion with the World Tree.

The World Tree was constantly absorbing Chaos Energy from the outside world and converting it into new territory. ’Hugging this thigh and strengthening my own soul is what’s truly important.’

Then, Lin Yu retrieved the "Random Treasure Chests" he had saved up at the end of the second stage from his warehouse. A full 3,000 "Random Treasure Chests" completely covered the floor of the newly expanded hall in the Lord’s Mansion.

These "Random Treasure Chests" could yield any type of treasure chest he had opened himself during the second stage, with a very small chance of producing chests that other people had opened.

However, Lin Yu only hoped to get the rare treasure chests he had opened before; he had no desire to get chests from others.

This time, Lin Yu didn’t ask Chenxi to help open the chests. He felt that the essence of his soul was now almost the same as the World Tree’s, so his luck couldn’t be bad. ’It must be much better than Chenxi’s.’

Hearing that Lin Yu was about to open treasure chests, the upper echelons of the territory all dropped what they were doing and ran over to watch the fun. They were now sitting in rows along the side of the hall, eating Spirit Fruits.

"My Lord, go for it!!"

"Master, good luck!"

"Go, go!!"

Listening to his subordinates’ cheers, Lin Yu silently psyched himself up as well.

In the second stage, Lin Yu had opened a total of 13 types of treasure chests.

Including: the Trial Treasure Chest (18x), Red Calamity Treasure Chest, Golden Calamity Treasure Chest, Golden Competition Treasure Chest, Legendary Lord’s Treasure Chest (Gold), Legendary Territory Treasure Chest (Gold), the Prosperity Ranking First Place Treasure Chest—a Special-Grade Bountiful Treasure Chest (Golden), the Combat Power Ranking First Place Treasure Chest, the Calamity Accomplishments Ranking First Place Treasure Chest, the Competition Ranking Second Place Treasure Chest, the Land Plot Treasure Chest, the Treasure Chest of the God of Wealth (Golden and all lower grades), and the Exploration Treasure Chest (all grades below Golden).
