The Era of Universal Lords has dawned. Nations across the globe randomly select lords to enter the Universal Battlefield. Lords level up by gathering resources, slaying demonic beasts, and developing their territories. If a lord falls in battle, their home country suffers grave consequences: national fortune declines, natural disasters strike, and even territories may be seized. Great Xia has already endured nine consecutive defeats, teetering on the brink of ruin with its national fortune fading fast. Amid widespread despair, Chen Fan, who ranked dead‑last in the lord aptitude test, is unexpectedly chosen. He awakens the universally‑derided class “Migrant Worker”. Though seemingly devoid of combat power, he activates the **Infrastructure Maniac System**, granting him abilities including 100‑fold construction speed, zero‑material cost for first‑time builds, and permission to erect buildings regardless of level restrictions. Thus begins his extraordinary path to rewrite fate through infrastructure and technology. Upon entering the Universal Battlefield, Chen Fan starts with a crude wooden hut. He rapidly constructs arrow towers, beacon towers and other defenses, repeatedly slays island‑nation lords sent to assassinate him, and rescues Shen Xingyue, a Great Xia lord under siege. Possessing the “Weapon Master” class, Shen Xingyue gradually becomes Chen Fan’s most vital ally. After obtaining coordinates to a large iron‑ore deposit, Chen Fan uses red‑barrel cannons to kill the Wolf King and seizes the mine. His territory is the first to advance into the Iron Age. Steel city walls, steel fortresses, barracks and more spring up. Chen Fan climbs the global lord rankings. Great Xia’s national fortune rises, natural disasters abate, and its lost territories begin to recover.
