Spawn location—simply put, it's your birthplace in the game.
Lordland was vast beyond imagination, hundreds or even thousands of times larger than any continent on Bluestar.
It was covered with countless resource points, treasure chests, monster lairs, NPC factions, secret realm entrances, and more.
After entering the game, players would be randomly assigned to a location within their own national block in Lordland.
To distinguish players from different countries, Era of Lords divided the map into various blocks based on nationality or region.
The Xia Country Block was located on the eastern coast of Lordland.
The Niu Zai Country Block was on the western coast.
The J Country, B Country, and Y Country Blocks were all on the northeastern coast.
The S Country Block was in the southwest.
The M Country Block was up north.
In addition, there were blocks for G Country, O Country, and many others, scattered across Lordland.
Spawn locations were completely random, and players usually appeared in low-level monster areas—commonly known as beginner zones.
If you were lucky, your spawn point might be surrounded by resource points or treasure chests, giving you a great head start.
Of course, even if you were unlucky, there was no need to worry. Once your territory reached Level 5, you could use a City Relocation Decree to move.
As someone with past-life experience, Lin Chen knew of several ideal spots within the Xia Country Block for building a territory.
Easy to defend, rich in resources, and ld with hidden treasures.
Places like Dragonspine Mountains, Darkmoon Forest, Isle of the Stars...
Every one of them had once served as the headquarters of top-tier Xia Country alliances—true lands of fortune.
"I need to upgrade my territory to Level 5 as quickly as possible, then relocate to Isle of the Stars. Those secret realms... that treasure... I must get them."
Lin Chen silently mapped out his development plan.
Since he had been given a second chance, he would absolutely seize the initiative and grab every resource he possibly could.
To become truly powerful.
So when Bluestar merged with Era of Lords again, he wouldn't be bullied by players from other civilizations.
Just as he was thinking this, the countdown for the open beta ended.
The instant the timer hit zero, the scene before Lin Chen changed—he had officially entered the world of Era of Lords.
At the same time, the system prompt rang in his ear.
"You have successfully spawned. Coordinates: 236586, 8568422. Please find a suitable location and use the Heart of Territory from your backpack to establish your domain."
Lin Chen didn't have time to think too much. If he remembered correctly, the first player to build a territory would receive an extra reward.
He scanned his surroundings to make sure there was no danger.
Then he opened his backpack, took out the Heart of Territory, and selected "Build."
"Do you wish to build your territory at coordinates 236586, 8568422?"
"Yes," Lin Chen answered.
"Please name your territory."
Lin Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Divine Realm."
As the words left his mouth, a small hut rose from the ground before him.
The next moment, the sound of a World Announcement echoed across the server.
"Player [Evernight] from Xia Country has successfully built the territory [Divine Realm]. As the first player to build a territory, they receive: Purple Resource Pack ×1, Food ×10,000, Gold-Grade Equipment Chest ×1, Forbidden Spell Scroll ×1."
"Player [Evernight] from Xia Country has built the territory…"
Three consecutive World Announcements stunned the entire server into silence.
Players who were still marveling at the scenery, exclaiming how awesome the game looked, were all left dumbfounded.
The next moment, a flood of World Announcements began to pour in.
"Player [Adam] from Niu Zai Country has successfully built the territory [Eden]. As the second player to build a territory, they receive: Blue Resource Pack ×1, Food ×5,000, Silver-Grade Equipment Chest ×1…"
"Player [Richuan Gangban] from Y Country has built the territory…"
"Player [I Am God] from B Country has built the territory…"
In an instant, Lin Chen had triggered a frenzy—countless players rushed to build their territories.
All for a shot at that extra reward.
But in truth, only the first 10 players to establish a territory would receive these bonus rewards.
Meanwhile, the World Chat channel had exploded with activity.
"Damn! You get rewards for building a territory? That was way too sudden!"
"Idiot! The one who got the biggest reward is that damn Xia Country player!"
"No worries. These early rewards aren't even that impressive. When it comes to rankings later on, it'll be us B Country oppas on top, smida~"
"Pfft, such arrogance from the B folks. This game doesn't have any cables for you to pull, y'know."
"LOL, that comeback was gold!"
"Idiot! Xia Country doesn't amount to much..."
Just as Lin Chen was watching the World Chat heat up with trash talk and drama...
Another voice suddenly rang in his mind.
"Detected: Host has successfully built a territory. Recharge System is now activated."
Hearing that voice, Lin Chen frowned.
What? Recharge System?
Wasn't Era of Lords supposed to be strictly fair—completely free of pay-to-win mechanics?
Why was he seeing...
Before Lin Chen could figure it out, a brand-new interface popped up in front of him.
It was a recharge panel—one with a layout that reeked of heavy microtransactions, just like in pay-to-win mobile games.

The sheer number of options left Lin Chen dazzled.
"Could this... be my golden finger for being reborn?" Lin Chen thought to himself, barely able to contain his joy.
