My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Isloa chanted softly.

Her chant seemed like the will of heaven and earth, as the invisible great force changed the night sky.

The sky was still the sky, but it was no longer the previous sky; it was Isloa's starry sky.

She had taken control of this region.

Starlight fell, and Isloa bathed in the starlight, her body's energy boundless. Behind her, there was a piece of the starry sky.

Time trickled away.

Isloa output several times, dozens of times, even tens of times the energy reserve she possessed. Finally, she managed to erect the entire Starry Sky Gate.

She...

did not break out in a sweat, for her energy was inexhaustible, and her body was still full.

But it was indeed quite cumbersome.

Isloa was like a small pipe connected to the ocean. Although the ocean was vast, her output was too small. If she could be like Duo Lai and make the fierce sun plummet to the earth in the snap of a finger, she wouldn't have been so busy for so long.

She said, "The Starry Sky Gate is now open. You can have some treasures sent over or have a dozen or so more people come through, but not too many."

Too many, and she would not be able to maintain it.

It was a burden.

The burden depended on the number of people and how long the Starry Sky Gate remained open.

Mu Yuan understood.

Tai Xuan actually had a Teleportation Array. In major war zones like Hangu Mountain and Longshan Pass, the core fortresses were equipped with Teleportation Arrays that could instantly travel between the great war zones and the heartland of Tai Xuan. However, such arrays were rarely used, as it was clear they were expensive to operate.

The cost of using Isloa's Starry Sky Gate was practically negligible.

However, if one were to convert the appearance fee of a Legendary Life, it might be much more expensive than the cost of activating the Teleportation Array.

...

Time passed.

The military parade ceremony had not yet begun, and Mu Yuanyuan was far from idle.

On the drill ground at the edge of the city, the Tianyuan Corps deployed in formation, with Seventeen taking command of the troops and marching forward.

Mu Yuan stood by, watching.

"Lord, your battle gown has been completed."

In the morning, the corps practiced maneuvers at the drill ground.

In the afternoon, there were fittings for battle gowns and trial rides on war horses.

Moreover, he needed to interact with the other parade lords to maintain a relative tacit cooperation between the corps.

From time to time, he attended the assembly of lords to blow off steam—collecting intelligence and trading treasures.

Sometimes, he couldn't avoid participating in social balls.

"This is killing me, when will the parade start?"

At the gathering, Ba Long was already drenched in sweat.

After all, he was a newly risen Lord of Xin Xing and was favored.

Being favored was good, but too much attention was somewhat unbearable.

He couldn't just snub them with a scowl.

There were even lords who coveted his body, hoping to introduce their daughters, nieces, sisters, or granddaughters to him.

"Humph! Women would only hinder my pursuit of dragons! But to refuse them one by one, I have to be somewhat graceful—it's truly a matter of life and death!"

Ba Long wiped his sweat.

Mu Yuan stroked his chin, "Strange..."

Why wasn't anyone trying to sell him their sister? Was he not handsome enough?

He compared himself to Ba Long and was certain that he was streets ahead in looks.

"Surely, I am just too handsome, too outstanding, so the girls feel ashamed."

He vaguely remembered that there were indeed some offers.

But apart from a few he was well-acquainted with or some powerful lords he couldn't refuse, he left all other diplomacy to Isloa.

Clearly, the capable Isloa handled everything very well.

Otherwise, like Ba Long and Wuji, he would have been soaked with sweat by now.

...

Aside from rehearsal, assembly, and social events, Lord Shepherd, of course, did not forget he was a lord.

And this was the Eternal World, where might makes right.

Xuan Du.

In one of the epic training grounds, Mu Yuan had booked one of the high-level arenas.

The area was enveloped in a mist of vivid colors, the thick spiritual energy so concentrated it was visible to the naked eye.

"Dead Bone, Duo Lai, and Isloa's legendary power; I've used the 'Lord's Power' privilege but can hardly borrow any strength now,"

This was partly because his Lord's Power was only a meager LV5, but more so because the legendary power was too top-tier.

After all, Lord's Power was just one of the abilities controlled by the Miracle Lord.

"Lords, upon stepping into the Legendary Realm, often start researching to form their own unique battle systems rather than just using Lord's Power to fight. Of course, even more start focusing on personal combat method research when they see no hope of breaking through to the legendary level,"

"The simplest ways to enhance personal combat power include two methods: one is to use the Heritage Stone to gain the power of a certain troop class; the second is to develop and enhance one's own talent abilities,"

Most Lords naturally possess both.

However, Mu Yuan had always refrained from using the Heritage Stone for himself.

In the early days, he didn't want to use a low-grade Heritage Stone to restrain himself, thereby affecting his future.

And now, he felt that using the Heritage Stone was almost useless for him.

Even if he could find an extremely precious epic-level Heritage Stone, then what? At most, he could awaken an epic ability with it, but his progress would stop there.

He was not lacking in epic abilities.

And he himself could not evolve any further.

Through the Lord's Power, he had already solidified 'Supreme Devouring' and 'Reaping What You Sow' as his two super talents. He was left with one more slot to solidify.

"The development of combat methods must still focus on personal talents,"

"I don't readily enter the battlefield myself, I'm surrounded by unparalleled generals, but that does not mean I can lack combat power,"

It's okay not to fight, but not okay to be incapable of fighting.

Even Lords who are not adept at fighting do not lack much in their own combat power.

To be too weak is to become the enemy's constant target—a fatal vulnerability.

And he, Lord Shepherd, has only one life's talent.

It's supportive.

Spiritual Link is a purely supportive talent that can't even bring a bit of enhancement to himself.

He styled himself the human-shaped light web, a human-formed communication base.

"I, after all, am just a Lord who specializes in support, excelling in long-range support and micro-control,"

Mu Yuan murmured to himself.

With a flick of his fingers, streaks of starlight shot out, transforming into several figures identical to him.

This was his Starlight Avatar.

His hands' skin bulged, and strands of white jade skeleton broke through the exterior, assembling themselves into extraordinary Skeletons upon the ground.

This was skeletal creation.

Behind him, the image of Wraith Sacred Mountain appeared; this was merely an outdated version of the Holy Mountain, as Lord's Power could not pilfer a legendary level Wraith Sacred Mountain.

Nevertheless, from within the mountain emerged Bone Dragons, Vampires, and Dark Knights.

Their forms were slightly blurred, unable to exist for long, but with combat power comparable to Third-order or Fourth-order Strongmen, that was beyond doubt.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Yuan had mustered a 'Miscellaneous Corps' of exactly one hundred 'soldiers.'

They were strong, yet also weak.

In the Legendary Realm's battles, such a corps would not be particularly effective.

Under the coverage of Dead Bone's legendary power, Little Skeleton possessed power enough to injure Giant Dragons; it could fully exploit the numerical advantage of the Undead.

Long before stepping into the Legendary Realm, Dead Bone had understood the principle of 'amassing the strength of the crowd.'

Mu Yuan's combat method was different from Dead Bone's.

In the world around, an invisible Web of Spirit spread out, enveloping and linking every single one of the hundred 'soldiers.'

In Mu Yuan's eyes, these 'warriors' seemed to have specks of light illuminating upon them.

He slowly raised one hand towards the sky.

The hundred soldiers also slowly raised their hands towards the sky, following his lead.

A small flame kindled at his fingertips.

At each soldier's fingertips, a small flame simultaneously appeared as well.

Energy surged within him, a mighty tumultuous wave concentrating at the tips of his fingers.

In a moment, a Thunder Dragon over a hundred meters long roared as it pierced the heavens.

And at that same moment, the arrayed hundred soldiers also launched Thunder Dragons from their fingertips.

A rumbling sound thundered across the Azure Sky.

Thunder Dragons danced wildly in the sky, repelling and destroying everything around them. The very air buzzed, elements obliterated, and space cracked with audible snaps.

Mu Yuan looked at his fingertip.

"Indeed, in the end, I'm just a Lord adept at support and micro-control,"
