Lin Tianran, an ordinary college student, just bought a crystal necklace and was transported to another world in a white light, becoming the down-and-out Baron Mills of Graystone Ridge in the border territory.
There are no glorious legends of magic and fighting spirit here, only a barren and hopelessly barren land - hundreds of households in ragged clothes, dilapidated earth walls, a huge debt left behind by his father after his death, and the surrounding nobles who are eyeing him.
Fortunately, Mills awakened the lord's talent [Leyline Control]: he can absorb the spiritual energy contained in the territory's leylines, his cultivation speed is much faster than ordinary people, and he can feed luck and extraordinary things back to the earth. From now on, the earth line and the land he protects share weal and woe - if the territory is strong, he is strong.
From winning hearts with a bowl of porridge, to outsmarting wild boars, inventing papermaking, going deep into the dark forest to discover extraordinary resources, to dealing with creditors and ambitious nobles... Mills gradually revitalized this forgotten frontier place.
But what he didn't know was that under the shadow of the dark forest, the eyes of the Abyss Demon Clan were quietly casting their gaze. When the storm comes, can this modern time traveler use a barren territory as a basis to write his own era in troubled times?
As evidenced by the earth's veins, the lord rises.
