A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

The outcome might be the same as with Veldora back then: either being killed or sealed away.

"System, what is my level of influence in this world? Have I attracted any attention before?"

[Host, the time when the 'Explosive Flame Dominator' entry attracted the most attention was when it achieved a breakthrough.]

[The host already possessed the attribute 'All-Round Genius (Exceptional),' so combined with the newly acquired attribute 'Blazing Dominator,' and a significant increase in levels, it affected all 'fire' in this world.]

Anything related to the 'fire element' experienced a brief period of agitation lasting one to three seconds.

For example, a flame suddenly expands, a campfire suddenly goes berserk, or a hearth fire suddenly burns intensely.

"This sounds serious... Has the 'Demon Lords' already noticed?"

[This system cannot answer this question. It only knows that the host has influenced the fundamental element 'fire' of this world. If you need other information, the host can try to consume a level.]

Ding--!

The system updated Chenhai's level.

Not long after the previous level-up enhancement, I've already reached LV.79 again!

"You also have the ability to scout the world?"

[Currently, there isn't one, but regarding level requirements, we can try updating the system.]

"You're deliberately trying to trick me, aren't you?"

[We suggest you plunder and copy new entries; this system has developed a new plan for you.]

[Using force to cause a disturbance.]

[Attract the Demon King and copy the entry.]

Strengthen the entry and increase its power.

[Attract the Demon King again, defeat them all, and then you can either recruit them as your subordinates or kill them outright.]

"..."

The host possesses the following special skills: Dimensional Assimilation (the dungeon connects to another world; depending on the degree of invasion, the host can transform the dimension into their own territory and exercise authority), City Lord's Crown (can recruit subordinates to become city members, increasing experience points tenfold), As long as the city exists, the host is immortal (as long as the dungeon exists, the host is indestructible)

[Highlighted reminder: 'As long as the city exists, the people live (the dungeon exists, and the inhabitants are immortal)'.]

[When facing the powerful beings of this world, the host can analyze and plunder entries simply by making contact and engaging in combat with them. Even if defeated, the host can be teleported intact to the abyss level of the dungeon.]

[Please note that you are immortal, not resurrected or regenerated. Rather, just moments before you are killed, this system will transport everything about you perfectly to the Abyss level.]

This passive ability is indeed quite good.

Thinking of this, Chen Hai looked at a special skill—City Lord's Crown (can subdue subordinates, turn them into city members, and increase experience points tenfold).

[If everyone is completely converted into city members, leveling up will be very fast, and new worlds will be connected, possibly around twenty at a time.]

"..."

"Is it a world similar to 'Small Garden'?"

"There are some experts with a single-digit number of strength."

[This system cannot confirm this, but it knows from the host's past memories that the host saw people discussing topics such as 'metaphysics' and 'narrative layers' on a forum called 'Tieba'.]

"That's an SCP, but the dimension you're connected to shouldn't be related to these, right?"

After all, it's not a crossover anime/manga...

However, Chen Hai had read light novels related to SCP.

I remember it was called "Alice from the Land of Mirrors".

Are light novels considered part of crossover anime/manga?

Does the lack of an animated adaptation count?

Chen Hai wasn't quite sure...

There's no need to rush right now.

Trying to achieve instant success can actually create more problems.

"But then again, there's always a limit to strength, right? Even if I reach a level of 100 million, it's impossible for a world to appear that matches my level, isn't it?"

This system believes it's too early to consider these things.

"That's true."

Chen Hai plans to enjoy the present moment.

So he ended his conversation with the system and walked out of the tent where he was resting.

Outside, goblins and fang wolves were still busy at work.

Currently, they are roughly divided into three 'teams'.

The first group is responsible for infrastructure construction, and they are diligently collecting materials and building houses and other facilities.

The second group consists of non-combatants, mostly children, who are responsible for gathering firewood, picking fruit, etc., under the guidance of some adults.

The third group is an armed force led by goblin warriors and oni, who have taken on the responsibility of protecting everyone from other monsters and are currently training.

And now-

A new instructor appeared.

She grabbed Tatsumi's hand as a new "city dweller," hoping to walk with him and witness a brand new world. (Izawa Shizue)

Having previously worked as an adventurer's teacher, she possesses extensive teaching experience.

In addition, his swordsmanship accumulated over decades can teach the goblins a lot of useful knowledge.

"Although I also enjoy practicing swordsmanship, I have absolutely no experience in teaching others..."

When Chen Hai saw Izawa Shizue telling the goblins how to hold their swords more properly, Old Man Bai stroked his beard and walked thoughtfully to Chen Hai's side.

"Speaking of your great oni clan... how did the oni-human clan become so strong?"

"Some of us choose to learn swordsmanship on our own, some go out to study, and some practice with masters within the clan."

"It looks complicated."

"That's true. Sometimes our people are scattered in different places, but eventually we all come together."

After Bai Lao finished speaking, some goblins beckoned him over, hoping to train with him as well.

"Coming right away, Lord Chenhai... I'll take my leave now."

"Go."

Chen Hai watched as Elder Bai walked towards the training ground.

At the same time, Shuna and Shion, who wanted to see just how strong Izawa Shizue really was, also went over.

They were unaware of the legends surrounding the 'Blazing Ruler' in the human world.

The only thing I understand is...

Chen Hai and she became very close.

The two of them arrived first!

As Chen Hai watched everything unfold, wondering if he should join in the fun, Cangying and Lanya appeared simultaneously.

Souei was responsible for patrolling the surrounding area, while Lanya provided assistance.

Now, both the ghost and the wolf have noticed the strange changes in the forest and believe that someone is spying on the village.

Before they could report, Chen Hai saw a soft light appear before him.

As the light faded, the outline of a figure became clear.

She is a beautiful 3.9-year-old woman.

Her attire exudes a natural and elegant charm.

The upper body is a green top with delicate red fruit patterns along the edges.

The hem is a deep blue long skirt, wide and flowing, giving a sense of tranquility and mystery.

Her hair, as green as grass, was swaying gently in the wind.

Besides these, you can also see several slender vines extending from around her body. These vines are not only decorations, but also symbolize her close connection with nature, proving that she herself is part of the forest.

Chen Hai recognized her identity at first glance.

Torene, the tree spirit of the Jura Forest.

So he told Souei and Ranya beside him not to make any rash moves.

And Torene immediately spoke up.

“Excuse me, sir. My name is Torene, and I am a tree spirit of this forest.”

After greeting her, she said sincerely.

"Next... could I ask you for a favor?"

Recalling the original plot.

Chen Hai roughly understood what Torene's request was.

The incident involving the Pigmen and the Pig-Headed Emperor.

In Chen Hai's view, this incident provided a lot of valuable experience...

Chapter 100 Torene: Lord Chenhai will win

The tree spirit Torene suddenly appeared.

Chen Hai looked at this nominal 'Guardian of the Jura Great Forest' and invited her into the tent first.

The demons were wary of this uninvited visitor, while the goblins were very curious.

To the monsters, tree spirits are extremely special beings.

They rarely show themselves in public, let alone visit the newly built monster village.

After they were seated, Zhu Cai prepared tea for Chen Hai.

It's called tea, but it's actually just water made from fruit tree leaves with a little fruit juice.

I've tried Chenhai's, and the taste wasn't particularly good.

I really need to find an opportunity to transfer the items from "Apocalypse" and "Dungeon & Puzzles" to this world to speed up the construction process.

As for the tea that had already been served to him, Chen Hai still took a sip.

Torene floated in the air, looking down at the scene.

The ghosts were somewhat dissatisfied with this.

"Could you please come down from the air?"

Facing the tree spirit looking down at her from above, Ziyuan frowned slightly and made a request.

"If you stay at the top all the time, it feels like you're a target, making people want to attack you."

"What Miss Oni said is a bit scary."

Upon hearing this, Torene quickly descended from the air and obediently sat down in the chair.

Seeing this, the atmosphere at the scene improved slightly.

This made Torene realize that the monsters' hostility towards her seemed to be based on her looking down on the sea of ​​stars.

Undoubtedly, the monsters held Chen Hai in high esteem.

"Please have some tea..."

Zhu Cai also served a cup of tea to the only guest present.

After thanking her, Torene looked at Chen Hai again.

"Please allow me to explain in detail the purpose of my visit."

The tree spirit's opening line was

"The Pig-Headed Clan, led by the Pig-Headed Emperor, is about to wage a full-scale war in the Jura Forest."
