Chapter 507: Chapter 367: World Beast Tamer Competition_2

“Chen Xing is back!”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Shangqing breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that there were no casualties.

“I told you to make a careful reconnaissance before going; I almost thought I wouldn’t see you again,” Qiu Shangqing lifted the tent flap and saw Chen Xing approaching from the opposite side. The worry that had been etched on his face relaxed slightly.

“Now I can say I am someone who has seen the Divine Country,” Chen Xing said with a smile.

“Right, but the next time you enter, it will probably be even more dangerous.” Chen Xing’s expression turned solemn, “That spiritual entity of the Divine Country imparted some things to me. In essence, it does not wish to be disturbed any further.”

Chen Xing pondered for a while. Although the spiritual entity of the Divine Country gave him a feeling of many unanswered questions,

Its expression of desiring not to be disturbed was definite.

Chen Xing repeated these words.

After listening, Qiu Shangqing seemed thoughtful, “Doesn’t wish to be disturbed, huh? Then we better not enter for now, but…”

He said that, but Qiu Shangqing looked somewhat worried; Great Xia could choose not to enter.

However, other forces might not believe it, and if Great Xia made such a claim externally, the other forces would definitely think that Great Xia, by doing so, intended to monopolize the Divine Country for itself.

Human nature is such that they will always believe only what they want to believe,

Unless they truly knock their heads and bleed.

“If other forces enter later, they might anger the being inside. I’m not concerned about other people; I’m just worried that if the spiritual entity of the Divine Country decides to administer punishment, it might affect us,” Qiu Shangqing shook his head.

That would indeed be an undeserved disaster, but since they currently knew too little about the divine beings, Qiu Shangqing also wasn’t clear whether a possible punishment would affect the surrounding areas.

The others from Great Xia who had ascended were similarly concerned after their communications.

Subsequently, they sought advice from the Giant Dragon Clan.

The answer they received was uncertain.

The old Silver Dragons, too, couldn’t be sure if the punishment would spread to the surroundings.

For the power of a god is immense; forget a god, even a top ascender, if they unleash their power without restraint and bombard the earth, a top ascender is essentially a walking natural disaster.

Let alone a True God above the ascenders.

If it was a True God in their complete and prime state wanting to affect the surroundings, they could undoubtedly do it.

But currently inside the Divine Country, there is no True God, only the spiritual entity of the Divine Country, and this Divine Country is not even in its prime.

Adding to that, the attitude of the spiritual entity towards outsiders is uncertain, so everything is an unknown.

In the end, they offered some well-meant advice, “It’s better to prepare for the worst-case scenario; clear the surrounding areas as much as possible to leave enough space.”

“In the next few years, the domain of Great Xia will probably become quite lively until… they upset the being inside,” the old Silver Dragon was somewhat relieved that the Dragon Emperor Giant City had ventured in beforehand.

Otherwise, without any knowledge, crashing in directly would have been troublesome.

In the following month, the situation between Great Xia and Fentian Giant City gradually became clearer.

Chen Xing also learned about the latest situation through a small group chat.

The Fentian Temple within Fentian Giant City chose to integrate with Great Xia, while Great Xia showed respect for the internal beliefs of Fentian Temple.

However, they placed certain restrictions on the propagation of belief, limiting it to within Fentian Giant City and prohibiting its forceful propagation in other exterior areas.

Meanwhile, the Giant City Guard Army inside were re-enlisted.

The ease of their re-enlistment was even higher than they had anticipated!

For the Giant City Guard Army of Fentian Giant City did not have a strong sense of racial consciousness. After investigations, it was found that these guards were more like mercenaries.

Fentian Giant City paid them salaries, and they treated it as a long-term job.

Since the top ascended powers above had chosen to surrender, why would they continue to struggle?

Especially when Great Xia declared that they would be re-enlisted as an independent army and that their treatment would be equal to that of regular Great Xia soldiers, with the honor of the merit class system, these guards became even more enthusiastic than imagined!

Almost immediately on the day of the announcement, tens of thousands of guards from the Giant City Guard Army came forward to inquire about its authenticity.

After fighting for so many years, they were well aware of the treatment of Great Xia’s soldiers, which was much more generous than the treatment within Fentian Giant City.

In the past, there was no opportunity, as both sides were opposing forces, with layers upon layers of escalation and under the pressure of ascended powers, serving their respective leaders.

Now that there was an opportunity, naturally, they didn’t want to miss it.

The war weariness among the ranks of Fentian Giant City’s Giant City Guard Army had always been high. To be precise, aside from a very few individuals, most disliked war.

Especially wars fought for the ambitions of others.

Of course, in the same batch of rice raised different people, there were always a few within the Giant City Guard Army who refused to accept peace.

Towards these resisters, Great Xia’s approach was to set an example, showing no mercy!

With a combination of the stick and the carrot, employing better treatment, the situation in Fentian Giant City gradually stabilized.

Without the Giant City Guard Army, the remaining associations, the Elders’ Council, and several major families were nothing but paper tigers without the masses, possessing no deterrence whatsoever.

Because in terms of top combat power, they were not comparable to Great Xia’s Ascended, and they also lost their advantage in numbers at the middle and lower levels, leaving them with nothing but their network of relationships accumulated over the years.

Yet when the mountain that supported them crumbled, the pinnacle of their past network relations were precisely those few Ascended within the giant city… which made things quite awkward.

As the situation in Fentian Giant City stabilized, other smaller cities within the Fentian domain, like leaves in an autumn breeze, were quickly brought under Great Xia’s supervision.

…

In the Gourmet Space, Dong Jun’s body was ablaze with an abundance of light.

In front of it, a massive amount of light attribute Secret Treasures were gradually being completely absorbed, their luminance slowly drawn into Dong Jun’s body bit by bit.

Taking a long breath out,

the light burning on Dong Jun’s body gradually subsided.

At this moment, the aura it emitted was of the Transcendence Fifth Layer!

In just the two months following its evolution,

Dong Jun had continually risen from the Transcendence First Layer and had now reached the Transcendence Fifth Layer.

Its rapid growth was mainly due to its racial bloodline.

Just like whales in the ocean that can grow 180 pounds in a single day with sufficient nutrition,

humans on land may not grow that much in their entire lives.

Racial bloodline to a great extent determines the speed of growth sometimes.

The Golden Legend bloodline’s absorption of Secret Treasures and nutrients far exceeded that of typical species’ monsters.

For other species to grow from the Transcendence First Layer to the Transcendence Fifth Layer in just two months was nearly unthinkable.

On the other side of the Gourmet Space, an immensely huge creature lay quietly.

Around it were piled life, Water Element, and Thunder Element attribute Secret Treasures.

However, compared to its vast size, these mountainous treasures merely submerged its toes.

Taotie squinted its eyes, opened its massive mouth, and took a deep breath.

Next to it, a ten-meter high pile of Illusionary Water Spirit Gold Ore emitted large quantities of blue luminescent particles, which streamed into Taotie’s opened maw like a river of blue light.

Then Taotie closed its mouth, continuing to relax with its eyes shut.

Just from that one breath, Taotie had absorbed a mine’s fortune worth several billion.

And such an ore, Taotie needed to absorb dozens of piles every day.

If there were only a few mines available, it would be impossible to sustain this gargantuan glutton in such a luxurious manner.

Only Chen Xing, who now ranked at the top of Great Xia and had absorbed the industries of the five major families, could afford to nurture it in such an exceedingly lavish way.

But such extravagant nurturing also brought immensely rich rewards.

The aura Taotie currently exuded had completely surpassed that of Chen Xing’s other Beast Tamings, including Sìxiàng.

Transcendence Eighth Layer!

This was Taotie’s current realm.

Compared to the other Beast Tamings, Taotie’s realm was in a class of its own.

Perhaps it was related to its bloodline.

Only a bloodline as terrifying as the Golden Legend could absorb so frantically.
