“Indeed, many hands make light work. By tomorrow, the wall should be completed.”
As night fell, from the Golden Terrace, Xia Tian watched the diligent territory residents still working under the illumination of the “Golden Sun Bottle” hovering above the territory, a smile gracing his face.
Especially since he had eaten several catties of “Golden Wyvern” meat during dinner, and after digesting it through the “Five Animal Frolics,” his physique had once again increased to 8.8, which should not be far from his personal limit.
“However, there’s one thing that’s quite strange.”
“Whether it’s the Golden Wyverns or those centaurs, there seem to be humans in their worlds, and they all consider humans to be foolish, inferior races.”
“Furthermore, the effects of the Golden Dragon Blood Bath are consistent with the records in ancient human ‘epics.’ What exactly does this mean?”
Xia Tian was puzzled.
After some thought, he opened the regional chat channel, wanting to see if other lords had discovered anything.
“Has anyone completed the ‘Oda Ichi’ challenge? Seeking seeds with heavy rewards… No, I mean seeking a guide.”
“After a day of fighting, I finally drove away a group of goat-people near my territory. How can I allow foreign races to graze beside my bed!”
“Excuse me, what period was Xi Zhicai from? I don’t understand. Could some kind soul tell me about his life story?”
However, the main topic of discussion in the channel these past two days was clearly the “Hero Challenge,” and there was no information about humans from other worlds at all.
“Holy crap, can you believe it? I actually saw humans from other worlds today!”
Just as Xia Tian was feeling disappointed and about to close the chat, a message suddenly caught his eye.
“What’s so strange about that? Many humans from the ‘Sea of Illusions’ weren’t they materialized into the ‘Eternal Land’ by the will of Earth?”
“Not humans from the Sea of Illusions. The information seen by the ‘Eye of Insight’ said they were humans from another world. The most crucial thing is that when I found them, they were actually fighting with my soldiers to protect a pig-headed person wearing a golden robe… It’s too much. I never thought that I, a dignified Slavic warrior, would have my first human civil war not with Germanic barbarians, but with humans from another world…”
“Damn it, if you talk like that, you probably don’t know the sharpness of our Germanic longswords.”
“Upper floor, stop arguing. So, are there really ‘aliens’ as you say?”
“Correction, not aliens, but humans from other worlds. It’s strange, shouldn’t humans be intelligent creatures originating from Earth? How can there be humans in other worlds! And these humans from other worlds actually fight against us, their own kind, for the sake of foreign races. That’s too outrageous.”
“Not only that, haven’t you noticed? Many of the creatures we’ve encountered these days seem to have similar records in human historical legends and allusions!”
Thinking of this, Xia Tian spoke in the channel for the first time.
“It seems so. Yesterday, I found some creatures that looked like zombies, and it scared me!”
“I also found mermaids, the kind whose tears turn into pearls.”
“And minotaurs, holding staffs with totems.”
This topic finally gained traction, and lords enthusiastically spoke in the channel, clearly sharing the same doubts.
“Actually, I’ve also encountered humans from other worlds, similar to what the lord above said… I ran into a ninth-tier blue half-dragon, who also enslaved some humans. A child, just born to a woman, hadn’t even cried yet when the half-dragon directly ate it as a ‘dessert,’ and the woman’s expression was only numb.”
Some lords spoke with heavy hearts.
The heated discussion allowed Xia Tian to gain a lot of information by “lurking.”
As he had judged, humans indeed existed in some other worlds.
However, the situation of these humans seemed to be mostly unfavorable; they were regarded as symbols of inferior beings, and even became servants and food for some foreign races!
“Damn it, how dare foreign races treat humans like this? Once our territory develops, we must teach them a good lesson and kill them all!”
“Upstairs, that’s about humans from those other worlds. We Earthlings are lords, not servants of foreign races. There’s no need to meddle, what if it causes hatred?”
Some lords expressed indignation, while others felt it was none of their business.
“Could it be that in the eyes of foreign races, there’s no difference between us Earthlings and humans from other worlds?”
Xia Tian’s words made many lords fall silent.
After all, even among Earthlings.
East Asians looking at Caucasians, or Caucasians looking at Africans… sometimes people of different skin colors cannot distinguish individual differences.
Not to mention that humans from other worlds and humans from Earth have no substantial difference in appearance.
“Does this mean that in the future, when we encounter many foreign races, they are very likely to attack our territory, and even capture us to serve as their slaves and food?”
Some lords realized something, and their tone became solemn.
“Damn it, what are you worried about! Let them come if they dare! My territory is now strong and well-equipped, sharpening its blades. Not to mention ordinary foreign races, even if a giant dragon comes, I will slay it and see!”
“Exactly, we have the will of Earth as our backing, what’s there to fear? Once the recruited historical heroes arrive and bring their wondrous items to hold the line, all foreign races will be nothing but chickens and dogs.”
Of course, not everyone was worried.
Everyone started with a “god-tier talent,” and most had a relatively smooth start, so they were quite confident.
Moreover, even if the human situation in other worlds was very bad, it wouldn’t be “public enemy number one,” would it?
“Actually, I suggest that everyone not be too eager to expand their territory. It’s best to proceed steadily and within your means! What if, two days later, when the heroes descend, a large number of foreign races also descend at the same time? If the occupied area is too large, it might be impossible to defend!”
Seeing that the topic had attracted a lot of attention, Xia Tian also posted his speculation about “secondary fusion.”
However, unlike his previous remarks, this statement did not receive much response from the lords.
In fact, he unexpectedly encountered sarcasm.
“Nonsense, even if your guess is correct. We’ve just managed to clear out the monsters in the surrounding territory, if we don’t take the opportunity to expand, wouldn’t we be giving up territory to newly descended foreign races for nothing!”
“Exactly, you’re not deliberately saying this to make us suppress our development progress so you can occupy more land, are you?”
“No way, my territory can’t recruit golden heroes yet, so I’m counting on occupying land to improve my strength and ranking!”
For most lords, the most important thing right now was clearly still the “Heroic Secret Realm Challenge.”
Because this was related to the next stage, where their territory could recruit historical heroes carrying wondrous items.
At this time, you suddenly tell me to spend resources on building defensive facilities to deal with potential crises?
Come on, as long as I can successfully recruit a golden hero, even if I don’t build defensive facilities now, can’t I still fend off foreign races!
“Sure enough, good advice is hard to accept…”
Xia Tian shook his head on the Golden Terrace, not angered by this.
People’s personalities are diverse, and especially after being lords for a few days, many have developed habits of bossing others around and acting autocratically. They wouldn’t change their plans just by hearing a casual remark from someone else.
Anyway, as an Earthling, he had issued a reminder, and his duty was fulfilled.
Moreover, at this moment, Xia Tian logged into the market and found a message from a lord named “Xiu’er.”
“Market · Xiu’er: Hello, I’ve found an item that can strengthen the divine soul. Would you be willing to trade?”
“Hmm, an item to strengthen the divine soul has been found?”
If so, he could cultivate some “Black Armored Army” before the “secondary fusion.”
Even if it was only a small number of Black Armored Army, they could play a significant role when needed. At least their mobility couldn’t be compared to infantry!
Immediately, he looked at the item information sent by “Xiu’er.”
