Faced with Liu Bian's seemingly simple request, Xiao Yan was momentarily at a loss.
“Master, you just need to tell him to come back tomorrow.”
"Based on my observation, the flow of time in his world is relatively slow compared to Time City. By the time he returns to Time City, you should have already upgraded Time City to level two."
"A level two time-space city can already allow others to enter and come to the world where the creatures of the time-space city originally lived."
"When the time comes, you can build a mission hall, have Liu Bian issue a mission, asking other beings invited into the Time-Space City to help him secure his throne, and then you can collect one-third of his fee."
"Okay, let's do it this way."
Afterwards, Xiao Yan relayed what Time and Space had told him to Liu Bian, asking Liu Bian to come back tomorrow, at which time Time and Space City could grant his wish.
Afterwards, with Yuan Hao leaving first, the others also left the trading building one after another to take care of their own business.
In the following period of time, Xiao Yan received several more beings who had been invited to enter the Time-Space City from all the myriad worlds.
After night fell in the Time-Space City, apart from Yue Buqun and Gai Jiuyou, who chose to remain in seclusion within the city, all the other beings who had been invited to the Time-Space City gradually returned to their respective worlds.
Looking at the now quiet Time City and Trading Building, Xiao Yan spoke to the Time City floating in front of him.
"Time and Space, it's about time. Let's upgrade Time and Space City now!"
"Master, upgrading Time City requires you to pay 100 million value points. Do you want to confirm the upgrade?"
"Upgrade confirmed."
"Master, Time-Space City is being upgraded to a Level 2 Time-Space City."
As the words of time and space faded, some inexplicable changes began to occur within Time City.
The concentration of spiritual energy within the Time-Space City began to increase significantly, and the aura of the Great Dao became even more intense.
Starting from the outer perimeter of Time-Space City, a moat appears, encircling the city. Crossing the moat along the bridge outside the city gate leads to a vast and boundless expanse of land.
This land has forests, mountains, and grasslands; perhaps the only thing it lacks is life that lives on this land.
After an unknown amount of time, the voice of time and space began to resonate in Xiao Yan's mind.
"Master, the Level 1 Time-Space City has been upgraded to Level 2, and your City Lord level has also been raised to Level 2."
"After your city lord level was upgraded to level two, your cultivation level was also upgraded to the second level of the extraordinary realm. In terms of the battle qi system you cultivate, it is the level of a one-star battle spirit."
After the words of time and space fell, Xiao Yan felt a surge of immense energy flow into his body from an unknown source, and his strength began to increase rapidly.
It wasn't until the Dou Qi vortex within his body slowly condensed into a sea urchin-shaped Dou Crystal that Xiao Yan's already immense Dou Qi stopped increasing.

"Is this the strength of a one-star Dou Ling? It is indeed much stronger than a Dou Zhe."
Feeling the Dou Qi cultivation within his body, which was many times stronger than before, Xiao Yan let out a sigh of admiration.
"Moreover, this sudden surge of powerful cultivation seems to be something I already possessed. It appeared in my body and I completely controlled it without any sense of disharmony."
"Master, should I report to you now on the achievements after Time-Space City was upgraded to level two?"
The words of time and space echoed in Xiao Yan's ears.
"Time and space, you tell me."
"Master, after Time City was upgraded to level two, a new building was unlocked, which is the auction house."
"Oh! Auction house, what functions does the auction house have? Tell me in detail."
"Master, the auction house, as the name suggests, allows you to hold auction after auction on certain special days."
"And the auction is another way for you, besides sending out invitations, to invite beings from all the worlds to enter the Time-Space City."
"When the auction is about to be held in the Sky City, the Sky City will send invitations to those beings in the myriad worlds who have strong desires."
"After those beings enter the Time-Space City, they can stay in the Time-Space City for a short period of time during the auction."
"is that so."
"Master, please select a location for the auction house."
"Yes, let's build the auction house there!"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan chose to build the auction house on an open space not far from the trading building.
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the little hand of time and space waved to the open space, and a very luxurious building quickly appeared on the originally empty ground.
The auction house in Time City is circular in shape and looks extremely luxurious, glittering with gold.
Although the auction house doesn't occupy a large area, it's a hidden gem inside.
Inside the auction house in the empty city, there was a super-large spatial array. If this spatial array had enough energy, it could expand the space inside the auction house indefinitely.
"So this is the auction house in Time City! It looks pretty good."
Xiao Yan was quite satisfied with the newly unlocked auction house in Time City.
“Master, in addition to those large auctions, you can also hire some people for Time City to hold some smaller auctions regularly.”
"The items auctioned can be obtained from within the spacetime layer, or you can allow beings invited from all the myriad worlds to enter the Spacetime City to deposit their items for auction at the Spacetime City auction house. You only need to charge them one-third of the handling fee."
