I only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at eighty years old, and then the system appeared.

Led by Lin Yu, Yang Hongbo toured the city for a while, and finally asked the most important question: "Lin Yu, if I want to build a city here, what procedures do I need to go through?"

Hearing this, Lin Yu looked at Yang Hongbo in surprise: "If you want to build a city, the first thing you need is a city-building token. Billions of years ago, these tokens were easy to obtain, but now, they're extremely rare!"

"In addition, there are other requirements, such as a minimum population of 100 million, a city lord who must be at least at the Divine Venerable Realm, and a minimum of ten families within the city!"

"Actually, the most difficult thing here is the population. In the current Divine Dynasty, the population of each city has a fixed household registration. It is very difficult to find extra people in the wild. For people in the city to move, there are three options: first, to be promoted; second, to have an invitation from a relative who is an official; and third, to have strength equal to or higher than that of the city lord!"

"After the city was built, the appointment letters for the city lord and the heads of various departments were issued by the central government of the Divine Dynasty. The officials below did not hold any official positions in the Divine Dynasty, but all of them were appointed by the city lord himself."

"The City Lord's Mansion is only responsible for paying taxes once every ten years, and for dispatching troops and handling its own logistics during the Divine Dynasty's foreign wars!"

"Haha, Lin Yu, you seem to know quite a lot!"

"Hey! I like to travel around a lot, so I've heard a lot of things and I've gotten the hang of it!" Lin Yu scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Yang Hongbo narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Lin Yu, since the city-building token is so difficult to obtain, is there any special way or secret information channel to find out its whereabouts?"

Lin Yu frowned, pondering seriously for a while before slowly saying, "Senior, I have heard that city-building orders occasionally appear in some ancient ruins or mysterious places. However, those places are extremely dangerous, filled with various powerful restrictions and unknown monsters. Even experts at the Divine Venerable Realm might not be able to escape unscathed."

Upon hearing this, Yang Hongbo's lips curled into a confident smile: "Danger? Since my ascension, I, Yang Hongbo, have never feared any danger. Lin Yu, do you know of any ancient ruins or mysterious places nearby?"

Lin Yu stared wide-eyed at Yang Hongbo in astonishment: "Senior, are you really going to go to those places to look for the City Building Token? That's too risky! And even if you find it, you might not be able to get your hands on it. As for where there is such a place nearby, I've heard that in the far north of White Crane Prefecture, there is an ancient mountain range shrouded in mist. It is said that many unknown secrets are hidden inside, and perhaps there are clues to the City Building Token."

A glint of excitement flashed in Yang Hongbo's eyes: "The ancient mountains of the far north? Good, let's go there and see. Lin Yu, would you like to come with me?"

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then a resolute glint flashed in his eyes: "Since you have invited me, senior, I will certainly follow. However, senior, that ancient mountain range is fraught with danger, so we must make thorough preparations."

Yang Hongbo nodded: "Of course, tell me, what do we need to prepare?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yu said, "First, we need some powerful defensive artifacts to deal with possible attacks in the mountains. Second, divine pills that restore divine power and heal injuries are also essential, so that we can replenish divine power and heal injuries in time during battle. In addition, some magical treasures that can break restrictions are also very useful, since those ancient ruins are often full of various restrictions."

After hearing this, Yang Hongbo took out some divine artifacts and pills from his storage ring and said, "Take these divine artifacts and pills for now and see if they are enough. As for the magic weapon to break the restriction, I don't have one, but we'll figure out a way when we get there."

Lin Yu accepted the divine artifact and elixir, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, senior! With these, our safety is greatly enhanced. However, senior, we still need some maps and information about that ancient mountain range so that we can better understand the situation inside."

Yang Hongbo frowned. "Maps and data? That's a problem. Lin Yu, do you know where I can get these?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Senior, we can go to the library in the prefectural city. It has a lot of books and information about various places in Baihe Prefecture. Maybe we can find a map and detailed description of that ancient mountain range."

Yang Hongbo's eyes lit up: "Okay, let's go to the library now."

The two arrived at the library, where the manager was an elderly, white-haired man. Yang Hongbo stepped forward and explained their purpose. The old man slightly opened his eyes, sized them up, and said, "You're looking for information about the ancient mountains of the far north? That's quite old, but our library does have some records. However, these records aren't something you can just look at casually."

Yang Hongbo frowned and asked, "What conditions are required to view it?"

The old deity slowly said, "A certain amount of divine crystals is required as a fee, and the fee varies depending on the value of the information. The information about that ancient mountain range is considered quite valuable, so it requires a thousand low-grade divine crystals."

Without hesitation, Yang Hongbo took out a thousand low-grade divine crystals from his storage ring and handed them to the old man: "These are divine crystals. Now you can let us see those documents, right?"

The old man took the divine crystal, nodded, and took a somewhat worn book from the bookshelf behind him, handing it to Yang Hongbo: "This is information about that ancient mountain range. You can look at it here, but you can't take it away."

Yang Hongbo took the book and found a place to sit down with Lin Yu, and began to read it carefully. The book detailed the terrain of the ancient mountain range, the distribution of monsters, and some potentially dangerous areas, but it made no mention of any clues about the city-building order.

Yang Hongbo closed the book, somewhat disappointed, and said, "There are no clues about the city-building order in this book. It seems we can only try our luck in that ancient mountain range."

Lin Yu comforted him, "Senior, although we didn't find any clues about the city-building token, at least we gained a deeper understanding of that ancient mountain range, which can be considered a gain. And who knows, we might even find the city-building token by chance in the mountains."

Yang Hongbo nodded: "You're right. Then let's go back and prepare, and set off for the far north as soon as possible."

Back at his lodgings, Yang Hongbo suddenly remembered that he possessed a mysterious system with over 100 million points, which he might be able to use to obtain a city-building token through a system lottery. A thought struck him, and he said to Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, you rest here for a bit, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Yang Hongbo entered the room, closed the door, and silently said to himself, "System, I want to draw a prize."

A virtual lottery interface appeared in front of Yang Hongbo, displaying over 100 million points. Looking at the points, Yang Hongbo pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's start with the lowest level, the one with a guaranteed 1000 draws, 10 points per draw."

The lottery began, and the system emitted a brilliant light, with various prizes shimmering within it. Yang Hongbo stared intently at the lottery interface, his heart filled with anticipation.

With each draw, most of the prizes were ordinary divine artifacts and pills, with even mid-grade divine crystals worth over ten billion, but these were of little use to Yang Hongbo. Undeterred, Yang Hongbo continued to stare at the lottery wheel.

Finally, in the last few draws of the guaranteed reward, the system's light shone even brighter, and a golden prize appeared on the screen. At that moment, the system's voice rang out: "Ding ding ding ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the guaranteed reward—a City Building Token!"

Yang Hongbo was overjoyed. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a city-building token! "Haha, I finally got it!" Yang Hongbo laughed excitedly.

In addition to the city-building order, this lottery also yielded ten level-four super warships, which are equivalent to the peak strength of a God-King and can be considered a powerful boost.

Moreover, Yang Hongbo brought more than 100 million people up from the lower realm, of which more than 30 million were from the Yang family. Anyone within five generations of Yang Hongbo was forcibly brought up, while others who wanted to follow him did so voluntarily.

The other families all believed they had talent in cultivation and were willing to follow. There were more than twenty families, if not ten. The smallest family had more than one million people, and the largest had more than four million.

The population that Yang Hongbo brought up is now about 150 million, and after arriving in the God Realm, many of them are experiencing rapid growth in their cultivation levels due to the influence of the divine power of the God Realm.

The fastest growth was seen in Tianlang and his apprentice He Xinyi, who had already advanced to the Divine Warrior realm. Yang Huizhou and the fifty Immortal Emperors from the lower realms had also advanced to the Divine Weapon realm.

If Yang Hongbo wants to build a city, he will need a deity, and he will also need to figure out how to release more than 100 million people. Therefore, Yang Hongbo decides to embark on this expedition to the ancient mountains of the far north with Lin Yu. During the expedition, he aims to be the biggest winner, obtaining a city-building token and a secret realm with a population of over 100 million!
