Although the town looks small, all its facilities are already quite complete, and it slowly rotates in Yuan Hao's palm.
Above the only city gate of that small town, three large characters can be seen engraved, which are the name of this small town—Time and Space City.
"With this Time-Space City, I can have Xiao Yan collect all sorts of different laws from the myriad worlds for me."
"Although these laws are no longer of much use to me, the Tianyuan Sacred Realm desperately needs these various laws to improve itself and greatly increase the speed of its advancement."
"Hmm! I also need to create a spirit for Time-Space City so that he can persuade Xiao Yan to do things for me."
Yuan Hao was very satisfied with the Time-Space City, his masterpiece.
"Supreme Being, what are your orders?"
With the birth of the artifact spirit, the time-space city in Yuan Hao's hands gradually gained sentience. A humanoid phantom slowly formed on it, worshipping Yuan Hao.
"From now on, you just need to assist that human below. If there's anything I need to do, I'll let you know."
"I will obey your commands, great being!"
"By the way, from now on, when Time City collects something, just tell Xiao Yan one-thousandth of its true value."
"Yes, a great being!"
"As for the commission for Xiao Yan, let's start with one percent and increase it later depending on his performance."
"If Xiao Yan wants to use the auxiliary facilities in Time-Space City, give him a 10% discount."
"You don't need to worry about how Time City operates normally. Just let it run on its own. What kind of gains you get depends on Xiao Yan's fate."
“There are things I need you to guide Xiao Yan to do in Time City. You just need to do those things well and not reveal my presence.”
"Yes, sir! Great being!"
"Okay, you can go back now."
After waving his hand to send the spirit of Time-Space City back to Time-Space City, Yuan Hao gently waved his hand again, and Time-Space City transformed into a stream of light and entered Xiao Yan's mind.
Xiao Yan, completely unaware of all that was happening, was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop below, diligently cultivating his Dou Qi.
"bite!"
Suddenly, a series of sounds rang in Xiao Yan's mind, almost causing him to suffer a qi deviation while he was in a meditative state.
"Who! Who is it! Show yourself! Who dares to plot against me!"
"Wait a minute! That's not right! Wait, that voice is... could it be..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Time-Space City has been successfully bound."
"Haha! The golden finger that I've been waiting for for over a decade has finally arrived today."
After confirming his guess, Xiao Yan finally got excited. This was a cheat code!
"I knew I was the protagonist! Not only am I incredibly talented, but my belated golden finger has also arrived today."
"Now that's all done, everything's finally ready. From now on, I, this young master, will trample Dou Zun underfoot, punch Dou Sheng, become Dou Di, dominate the Dou Qi Continent, marry Xun'er, and reach the pinnacle of life."
"Ding! Please enter the Time-Space City as soon as possible to receive the City Lord's Seal and complete the final recognition step."
"Ding! If the host fails to complete the final surrender step within a long period of time, Time City will detach itself from the host and search for a new city lord."
Just as Xiao Yan was lost in endless reverie, the cold voice in his mind interrupted him.
"Cough! Cough cough!"
"Enter! I'll enter right now! Please send me into the Time-Space City quickly!"
"Oh! By the way, are you the spirit of Time-Space City?"
"How did the Time-Space City come about? And why was I chosen as its host?"
"Ding! Please complete the recognition process as soon as possible. After becoming the city lord of Time and Space City, all your questions will be answered."
After hearing the voice in his mind, Xiao Yan realized that his surroundings had changed.
He was currently in a plaza formed by mysterious jade, at the end of which stood a tall building made of the same material.
On this tall building are three large characters engraved: "Trading Building".
Besides that, there is nothing else here.
However, the spiritual energy here is extremely rich, at least a thousand times richer than that of the Xiao family's back mountain in Xiao Yan's perception.
Just then, a seal radiating dazzling light appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
"Ding! Please hold the City Lord's Seal in front of you. After you hold the City Lord's Seal, your soul imprint will be automatically engraved on it."
"Ding! After the host's soul imprint is engraved on the city lord's seal, the host will become the city lord of Time and Space City. At that time, most of the host's questions will be answered."
Following the instructions of the voice in his mind, Xiao Yan reached out and grasped the seal of the City Lord of Time and Space City in front of him.
After Xiao Yan grasped it, the light emanating from the city lord's seal began to slowly subside.
After all the light was withdrawn, the city lord's seal appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes; it was an ordinary jade seal.
Just then, the same voice continued to echo in Xiao Yan's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on becoming the city lord of Time-Space City. Now, please receive some inherited knowledge from the city lord of Time-Space City."
