“The Icefang Dragon clan seems to have a history of stabbing their allies in the back, wouldn't you say?”
The Icefang Dragon True King looked as if his tail had been stepped on, his face instantly turning ugly. He stared fixedly at the True King from another race who had spoken, doing his best to suppress his anger.
Suddenly, the Icefang Dragon True King felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, as if a mountain were pressing on his back. Feeling somewhat suffocated, he raised his head and saw a pair of blood-red eyes.
“Don't try any tricks, or the consequences will be more than you can bear.”
The Icefang Dragon True King looked at that ferocious face, trying his best to even out his breathing.
“This territory can’t be divided equally. These paltry gains aren't worth turning against each other. We’ll set an example and take a little less, following the Icefang Dragon clan's method of division, but giving them the smallest piece of the volcano.”
“If you don’t accept this suggestion, it will prove that you are indeed harboring selfish motives.”
Those eyes then focused on the Icefang Dragon True King: “Icefang Dragon clan, no objections, right?”
“…No objections.”
The Icefang Dragon True King said through gritted teeth.
“That’s for the best.”
That True King coldly snorted.
… …
Yan Country, inside a small house.
The walls inside this house were extremely special, made of the same material used inside the new city.
The most valuable aspect of this material was not its hardness, but its ability to nullify magic.
“Is everything settled?”
An old man looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Although the old man's face was covered with age spots, he was energetic, and his sharply defined face was full of heroic spirit.
“Yes, sir. The powerful victor races are still arguing over the territory of the Endless Volcano, while the weaker races have already secretly formed an alliance with us.”
The old man shook his head, his eyes piercing Zhou Nong’s heart like torches: “Alliances are the most unreliable thing in the world. There will always be betrayers.”
“How long can you stall them?”
In front of this old man, Zhou Nong seemed even more nervous than he had been in front of the victor races. He swallowed hard and instinctively wiped the sweat from his forehead: “That depends on when they discover that the Endless Volcano is just an empty shell.”
“Rumor has it that the world's landscape is about to be reshuffled again. People are panicking, and many things require your presence. First, give everyone a sense of security.”
“Suppress the news that needs to be suppressed, and release the harsh words that need to be released. Let them know that the Human race is not afraid to turn against any race!”
As he spoke, the old man shook his head: “They think that the battles between other races might affect the Human race, but we all know in our hearts that the Human race is at the eye of this storm.”
Cold sweat dripped down Zhou Nong’s face as he lowered his head to the old man.
“If nothing unexpected happens, once those races discover that the resources in the Endless Volcano have been completely emptied by us, even if they are fools, they will realize what’s going on.”
“Moreover, which of those old foxes is a fool…”
“It truly feels like a storm is brewing.”
As he said this, the old man's face showed a strange expression, and then, to Zhou Nong's astonishment, he took out a piece of flesh and began to chew on it.
“Let's hope we haven't misjudged things.”
Outside the house, the sky was gloomy, and the dark clouds seemed about to collapse the high-rise building they were in.
… …
Doomsday World.
Qian Er looked at the first renovated city. His followers had built very tall statues of him and his pets in the most central location.
The statues of the Holy Lord enjoyed incense day and night, and people offered sacrifices to them.
Near the statues were rows of small buildings that had been repainted and repaired. Although the repair work was a bit clumsy, they still looked relatively neat.
Holy City was originally quite a large city, but the remaining survivors now only occupied the very center of the original city.
Further out, they had taken the initiative to demolish buildings and fill the land with soil, planting crops.
After all, there were not many ways for them to survive now. Animals were even harder to find than living people, so they could only rely on plants to fill their stomachs.
The mutated plants from that city had become popular, not only because they were easy to grow, but also because they were very filling.
“Let's go, to the new country.”
Qian Er rode the Frostglory Bonedragon and left the country. Wherever he went, the people underground would kneel and prostrate themselves before Qian Er.
After clearing several more cities, Qian Er returned to the Pet World.
As soon as he returned to the Pet World, Qian Er keenly sensed an unusual aura.
His perception of the environment was now far superior to what it had been before. Although it was only a vague intuition, this intuition was often very accurate.
It seemed that something had happened in the world during the time he had gone to the Doomsday World.
Qian Er summoned the Frostglory Bonedragon. Since breaking through to the Foundation level, the Frostglory Bonedragon had undergone earth-shattering changes.
It had become more divine, and both its appearance and abilities were like those of a legendary creature. At first, Qian Er didn't think much of it, but after spending time with it, he could truly feel the extraordinary nature of the Frostglory Bonedragon.
The more he understood, the more he realized how terrifying it was to be in the same realm as Senior Xiaoyue, Turtle Saint, and Ape Ancestor!
Although the Frostglory Bonedragon had only just broken through to the Foundation level, it was certainly far behind those Human race Foundations who had lived for countless years, but it was enough to open Qian Er's eyes.
The Frostglory Bonedragon gently waved its claws, caught the wind with its paws, and its expression changed. The entire dragon took a few steps back, looking at Qian Er.
“What heavy blood energy.”
Qian Er frowned. The Frostglory Bonedragon spent all day with the Bloodburn Saint and Myriad Transformation Demon, and the blood energy on them was extremely strong.
For the Frostglory Bonedragon to feel such heavy blood energy, something must have happened in this world.
“Your Majesty.”
Just then, the steward walked over and told Qian Er news that was neither very big nor very small for Qian Er.
“The world situation has been extremely unstable recently. Before, everyone guessed that the victor races might start fighting.”
“But according to the information we have received, they have united again for some reason. This time, they are tightly bound together, and they are an absolutely formidable enemy.”
“We don’t know what their intention is, but now, the Human race hasn’t panicked yet, but the other myriad races have. They are afraid that they will become sacrifices in the war.”
“After the Conferral Ceremony, we slaughtered several small races. This matter has been hidden for so long, and it can’t be hidden any longer.”
Qian Er’s expression didn’t change much, but he pondered in his heart. This was the rhythm of starting a war. His right index finger subconsciously began to tap the table.
