While the elders of the Church of the Twin Gods are busy with the sudden preaching of the tree of life and death, Adrian looked at the things new to his territory. He does not know if it is a good thing or a bad thing because his territory is now free from invasion from an army on the ground.

Description: A newly owned territory by the individual named Equinox. Not much has been done because he was left with this abandoned territory by the grace of the spirits of the past residence. Huge investments need to be poured into this territory to make it functional and habitable once again.
The territory became a floating island which means new things would be needed for it to increase in level. The Tree of Life and Death, Yewdrassil, is currently rooted in this territory which means it is abundant in life and death energy.
-----
Floating Island (Upgrade Requirements)
+ Increase the power of the mana core sleeping inside the Tree of Life and Death (Up to the size of a Town)
Adrian knows that this mana core is basically the heart of a territory as explained by the developers when they added the territory function. The mana core is also the item that makes it so that they owner of the territory could edit the layout of the territory.
It also gives a background on why some establishments would just pop up in the middle of nowhere unlike other games that gives no background on how a pond could suddenly just appear out of nowhere. Some establishments still need to be created by artisans, but very basic establishments could easily be made using the Territory Maker function of a territory's owner.
Adrian as of now could only create basic houses or storehouses as long as he had the gold and the materials. He still cannot build them because his territory is not yet inhabited. He then looked at the added details from his territory's attraction which is the Tree of Life and Death.
----
Attractions: Yewdrassil (Tree of Life and Death)
Description: A special tree that gives off life and death energy. The Tree of Life and Death is said to be the ancestor of the Tree of Life and Tree of Death. It continuously gives off these energies and also serves as its protection mechanism.
Special Effects: Doubles the regeneration of Life and Death energies of individuals in the territory. Increases the territory's security by a bit due to the energy shell it gives off.

"Yo! I already provided you the Tree of Life and Death in your territory. I do not need to give you anything for the guild creation." Levin Cloud stated but Adrian looked at him and smiled.
"You do know that I helped you on the way right which means I can only make it so that you only need to pay half of that." Adrian replied and Levin Cloud could not retort back because what his best friend said is true.
Adrian already asked all his friends to join his guild that he will create, and they would make his territory their base of operations. Upon agreeing without hearing Adrian's requirements, Adrian immediately told them that he needs a thousand gold from each of them.
They wanted to complain but Adrian told them that he is the one procuring the most important item. The most important item that he will need is the Guild Creation Emblem. Unlike what other guilds did where they get tied to a territory, the guild creation emblem is for guilds that do not want to be tied to a territory.
The Guild Creation Emblem is also the most sought after and rarest item when it comes to guild creation. One guild creation emblem is about ten thousand gold coins. Adrian's friends could not tell him that what he is asking for is too much when he is shouldering the most expensive item.
What Adrian's friends do not know is that Adrian is loaded right now because of Piggy Bank. His merchant friend is also the one looking for the item for Adrian because he promised the merchant top tier talismans. Adrian's talismans are in high demand right now because of their effectiveness and the fact that they could be activated without incantation.
Adrian also let Piggy Bank sell his herbs that he cannot use. With Apothecary on the rise, Adrian's precious herbs are hot selling and expensive items. Adrian already got a hundred thousand gold coins just by selling a third of his total herbs.
"You can give 500 gold coins or other things that is worth as much. What we need right now is to help expand the territory to become a town at least." Adrian stated as some of the others already paid him the amount he asked for.
"Fine but do you have any news about the Guild Creation Emblem?" Levin Cloud asked as he know that Adrian is procuring the most difficult item.
"My contact said that he is still negotiating with the owner. The owner of that emblem is basically trying to sell it off for five times the amount. He is still negotiating so that he could at least make it thrice the normal amount." Adrian replied.
"Champion Equinox!" The elders of the Church of the Twin Gods suddenly called for Adrian which broke his conversation with Levin Cloud. When Ascalor saw the elders of the church rushing towards Adrian, he also went next to him to hear about the conversation.
"Do you need something from me elders?" Adrian asked.
The elders suddenly bowed to Adrian which made the latter scrunch his face. He does not know if creating the Church of the Twin Gods with the elders present is a good choice. He and Levin Cloud basically made fanatics from the stuff that they did.
"Please accept us as citizens of your territory." All the elders of the Church of the Twin Gods suddenly proclaimed which shocked Adrian.
Adrian is currently a lord of a territory without subjects. If he accepted the proposals of the elders, then he will become a true territory owner. He will also get 18 subjects for his territory. Adrian is about to decline because they might be rushing their decisions but Elder Willow suddenly interjected.
"You do not need to worry about us as we will find a way to sustain ourselves. Also, the tree of life and death needs to be protected. It is also the most beneficial area to raise the twin prophets as they are safer near the tree of life and death." Elder Willow stated which made Adrian ponder greatly.
Adrian did get a notification from the tree of life and death about the twin prophets.
[The Twin Prophets, Vitae and Mortem, will not be able to die in your territory as long as the Yewdrassil stands tall.]
"If the elves are suddenly proposing to be your citizens, then I might as well pitch in. Let the Daemos be residents in your territory, and we will handle the protection." Ascalor stated which shocked the elves.
"Elder Ascalor, do you not need to consult the other elders for this decision." Adrian stated.
"You do not need to worry about that as you are basically the student of the three elders. You will become an elder as well in the future should you ascend to the status of an Arch Demon. The elders have decided this just with your contributions to the race." Ascalor stated with great praise as he is proud of Adrian to accomplish it.
Adrian did not know that the small quests and missions combined with his difficult mission given to him by the elders all became added for this consideration. Adrian is also told by the elders that the demons will need to leave the Paradox Planes after a few years as that pocket dimension will also expire.
The evidence of a pocket dimension of a pocket dimension expiring is the appearance of astral monsters. Adrian knew that Ascalor is basically asking him to become a leader for their race, but he still has time before that happens which is why he is not pressured.
Adrian knew that he could just appoint the Daemos elders as de facto leaders while he is gone but he is still the lord. Adrian is busy contemplating when a wave of different powerful auras suddenly started coming towards them. Adrian's soulbounds immediately tensed up and released their auras as well but it is overshadowed by the incoming auras.
"In order to make the champion be in favor of our request, why not prove our worth? It seems some people are too curious about what happened here." Elder Naya stated as she looked at the other elders and smiled.
