Before he learned Territory Power, Li Yi had always assumed Territory Power would only appear after the level cap was revised. It was only when he learned it that he realized he had thought wrong.
In truth, Territory Power had existed from the very first day King of Pantheon began running.
After he earned Cursing Sect Pope Shirui's Heritage and accidentally obtained Territory Power, it took Li Yi quite a while to recover from that unexpected surprise. He had been maniacally completing quests lately, not just so he could level up later, but also so he could further improve on his Territory Power. Just like gaining levels, he needed immense amounts of EXP to enhance his Territory Power.
At first Li Yi had thought that fewer than three players had access to Territory Power until the Pantheon officials announced that there were seven of these Territory Masters in total, turning all of his assumptions on their head.
