Qin Tian smirked as he brought up the [Lords Ranking]. "I haven't checked the [Lords Ranking] in a while… I wonder how they're doing now, or rather, how well they're faring compared with me." With a few taps, the rankings appeared before him.

Qin Tian couldn't help but chuckle. "The Territory Ranking is a close match… and it seems that it has been reshuffled compared to last time, with new names on it. Even the Lieutenant Colonel has entered the Top Five."
Every 50 years, the Lord's Ranking in the Novice Trial could be said to be fixed. The Top 5 will always be occupied by the 5 most powerful families in the Federation. This year was an exception, with the military trying to occupy the top spots, and more dark horses.
He glanced at the rankings again, noting the vast gap between him and the others. "Combined points of the Top 10 besides me can't even reach half of my points. I've left them in the dust."
Of course, this would change later once they set foot on the Novice Domain, where external help will not be greatly interfered anymore. One Year God was not an exaggeration. A person could indeed become a God in a short period of time as long as their family was willing to spend resources on them.
"Oh, TeemoFanboy actually got Top 6? How did he even reach that with his Goblin troops." Qin Tian's interests were piequed. The Goblin Race was one of the weakest Races to choose. Of course, the Goblin Race was not notorious because of that, but because of their lustful nature. Some of the Lords who chose this race were traumatized, especially male Lords.
Out of curiousness, Qin Tian decided to check the [Chat]
[SaltyGamer: Bro, this TeemoFanboy is so lucky. The Goblin Race he picked was actually not ordinary, but the Goblin Race that built the Arcana Empire]
[OttoHater54321: I think it's only fair. His Goblin Race gets broken just as his ass gets broken by his Race too]
[ShiningDarkKnight: What's the Arcana Empire? Haven't heard of that]
[SaltyGamer: Well, because I listen to class, I know that Arcana Empire was one of the strongest Empires in the world of Global Lords, before they got destroyed by the Gods]
[ShiningDarkKnight: What?! One of the strongest? This TeemoFanboy is too lucky]
[InvisibleDragoon: Which Senior built this Empire? Or is it from another Race in the real world?]
[SaltyGamer: Neither. Arcana Empire was an Empire built by the natives of Global Lords]
[WorldTyrant69: How did the Arcana Empire get destroyed if it was one of the strongest?]
[SaltyGamer: The Arcana Empire was so strong that it's tentacles reached even the Gods Domain, and their technology allowed them to build Epic to Legendary, and even some Mythical quality buildings that gave them the power to destroy Gods]
[InvisibleDragoon: So amazing?!]
[SaltyGamer: Yeah, however, it was also due to this that the Gods feel threatened, and all the strong Empires built by the natives, and also the powerful Lords allied and destroyed this Empire]
[InvisibleDragoon: Where's TeemoFanboy, can he fact check this guy]
[OttoHater54321: Don't try to find him. Ever since he rose in the rankings, he never spoke again in chat., It's not like we've haven't tried to, but like a sinking stone, he never came back in chat again]
Qin Tian's eyebrows were raised.
"No wonder TeemoFanboy climbed up the ranks so quickly."
The Arcana Empire was one of the strongest Empires back then. The Goblins, one of the races that people looked down upon, with their craftiness and talent, built an Empire capable of slaying Gods without actually being Gods. They only relied on their equipment and buildings that they built.
Afterwards, Qin Tian checked the other Lord's Ranking.

Most of the players at this stage were Level 30 and below. However, Qin Tian couldn't believe that a player was faster than all the five heirs of the rich families by the Federation.
"Abyss?" Qin Tian frowned upon seeing this name, but didn't mind any further.

"Looks like nobody has catched up to me, and no one will ever in this Novice Trial." Qin Tian thought. He had completely crushed the Lord's Ranking. With that, he would be able to get more rewards by the end of the Novice Trial.
Don't think of Buildings and Heroes being easy to obtain in Global Lords. They were only able to hoard many buildings because they were in the Novice Trial. Afterall, the Heavenly Dao System will give many benefits to newcomers, making sure that they won't be sniped and get bullied by Lords that have already developed in the Novice Domain for many years.
Thinking about his next move, Qin Tian decided to reach out to his "friend" in the military. "Anyways, I need to sca-, I mean contact this Lin Feng now and get some goodies."
[Immortality: You there bro?]
[FederationArmy581thBattalionLieutenantColonel: Sup]
[Immortality: Got some goodies again, you wanna trade?]
[FederationArmy581thBattalionLieutenantColonel: How many?]
[Immortality: Not many, only around 30k 1-star beast meat]
[FederationArmy581thBattalionLieutenantColonel: So few? Don't tell me you found another buyer…]
[Immortality: And 250 2-star beast meat]
Seeing this message, Lin Feng couldn't reply for a while.
[FederationArmy581thBattalionLieutenantColonel: F*ck!]
[Immortality: I need my 5 Ordinary buildings too]
[FederationArmy581thBattalionLieutenantColonel: … you leave me with no choice]
[Immortality: Is it possible for defense-type buildings or barracks?]
[FederationArmy581thBattalionLieutenantColonel: They're hard to come by, and even people under me will not give it so easily even if it's an order from above… but i'll try]
[Immortality: Thanks bro, I'll remember this favor. Also, thank the military too for me]
[FederationArmy581thBattalionLieutenantColonel: Ye bro]
During these past few days, he and Lin Feng had grown into buddies. Lin Feng tried to communicate with him every day, and Qin Tian eventually gave in. Their way of talking had become casual, too casual.
"Anyways, making friends with the military was not a loss." Qin Tian thought, knowing that Lin Feng's motives didn't change; he still wanted to befriend him under orders from the higher-ups.
Soon enough, after an hour or so, Lin Feng exchanged resources with him.
