79: Mount Tai!

The mutations are like countless ripples; when they converge, they become the monstrous waves of an era.

The Yao Race has truly been born!

That Mountain Monarch already possesses the prestige to command the Yao Race; as the mountains and forests shook, he completed his unification.

Furthermore, capable of human speech, he will rapidly absorb human wisdom. Whether he will then hide in the mountains to watch the world change or charge out onto the stage—it is impossible to know.

Ye Su suddenly felt a touch of heaviness, as if the dust of the era had settled upon his shoulders.

Plants and animals are indeed troublesome in the early stages, but the new races that follow will be the true arch-enemies.

“Brother Hui, are you there?”

Ye Su turned on his headset.

This area should have signal coverage; after all, it was once a temporary Main Camp.

“I'm here.”

Zhang Hui had also just received a connection; after all, at this stage, it was impossible for the Shennong Forbidden Zone to have full coverage.

“Help me contact Cui Hu. I lost my phone during the battle,” Ye Su said.

“Alright, I'll transfer you.”

Zhang Hui operated the equipment immediately after speaking.

Five seconds later.

Cui Hu's voice came through;

“Ye Su, what's up? I'm on a plane out to sea, heading for the Carrier Fu.”

“The King-level Lifeform of the Shennong Forbidden Zone has started to speak.”

Ye Su said directly.

Cui Hu was stunned for a moment. He wasn't a fool; he understood exactly what Ye Su meant;

“You... saw it?”

“Mhm. There's a high probability that the Shennong Forbidden Zone has been unified by it. Think about how many Yao must be in these countless mountains!”

“What are you suggesting?”

“Your connections go straight to the top. Report this to the higher-ups. We can't wait; drop nuclear bombs and clear the area!”

On the plane, Cui Hu trembled all over. This matter was too big.

Dropping nuclear bombs, was he serious?

“Because of the rain, the core area of the Shennong Forbidden Zone exceeds ten thousand square kilometers. Including the surrounding areas, such a vast range...”

“That is a true Yao King! It's a brand new race, and one with immense potential! Cui Hu, timing is not on our side. The first rain, the second rain—they are all targeting humans. We aren't being decisive enough!”

“I understand. I'll report it, but as for whether it succeeds... I have no certainty.”

The radicals think the conservatives are too radical.

The conservatives think the radicals are too conservative.

Ye Su, who hoped for a stable Order, was the first to propose a nuclear clearing.

The higher-ups, who feared the world would collapse, were working hard to maintain Order.

Ye Su could not yet decide the direction of the big picture.

What he was doing now were the things he needed to do.

The Dragon Wolf had been slain.

The heaven origin fruit was in hand. The wish derived from Ape Fist was 'devouring' the Skill Impact Vigor.

Once the 'devouring' was complete, his strength would surely increase further.

But even so, Ye Su still had no peace of mind.

Individual might had not yet reached the level of being able to command the heavens to change!

A war between races is fought with logistics, heritage, resources, and effective forces!

The path taken by the Suzhou and Hangzhou of Suhang was correct—accumulating resources and heritage. So now, it was time to start cultivating effective forces in a truly planned manner!

And the first point of cultivating effective forces was to stop Professionals from killing each other.

Just a theory about a great elixir produced abroad had made things a foul mess.

Perhaps—Ye Su took a deep breath.

He seemed to have found his niche!

“Brother Hui, coordinate two planes. One to take some things back to Suhang, and the other I need to head to Mount Tai.”

Ye Su said into the headset.

“Alright.”

Zhang Hui immediately began coordinating.

Only now did it become clear what Li Qing had actually gained by using Ye Su's major merit.

What it gained was authority.

Ye Su's position was awkward, yet transcendent.

Behind him was Suhang.

And because of him, Suhang held a transcendent status among all cities.

Thus,

No matter where Ye Su was, he could coordinate official forces for convenience.

After all, would the Suhang spokesperson have no Face with you?

Then when you want potions, don't blame Suhang for not giving you Face!

They complemented each other.

With Ye Su needing to run everywhere for Opportunities, this was practically a cat's Anywhere Door!

Soon.

The Shennong Forbidden Zone temporary Main Camp had prepared two planes for Ye Su.

After sending the Dragon Wolf carcass back to Suhang, Ye Su took Mo Xiaoyu to Mount Tai.

Mount Tai currently had two temporary camps.

One was the official Main Camp.

The other was the Club camp built by the Yuntian Club at great expense.

This was also the first time a Club had enclosed land outside.

Strangely, Great Xia did not stop them, which made many Clubs eager to follow suit.

They could guess the future turmoil.

They also knew that famous mountains and great peaks might become the treasure lands of the future.

For a time, people's hearts were restless.

---Mount Tai official temporary Main Camp, Ye Su arrived.

Then he found a car and headed toward the Yuntian Club camp.

Mo Xiaoyu held a tablet, scrolling through information. This was the internal official information network, containing much information that couldn't be found on the ordinary internet;

“Many Clubs are applying for wilderness base camps,” Mo Xiaoyu said;

“The officials seem to be following the process; it looks like they'll approve them.”

“Hmm... I took a look, those wilderness base camps have quite a few Yao appearing. Are the officials using the Clubs' power to wear down the Yao Race's strength?”

“It's just...”

“It just feels a bit far-fetched, right?” Ye Su picked up the conversation;

“With the current strength of the Clubs, what effect can they have on the Yao Race? It's a drop in the bucket.”

“It's more like the officials are letting the unstable elements out, to save the trouble of managing them in the cities.”

“Not every Club can get a Fire-Bearer quota!”

Mo Xiaoyu nodded.

She thought it made sense.

If the Clubs wanted to enclose land, then let them go.

Anyway, it's deadly dangerous outside. If the officials managed everything, the front lines would be too long, and logistics alone would consume massive resources.

To ignore it and let the Yao Race grow rapidly would be unwise.

They might as well give it away.

“Also, from the Liaison Officer's notebook, the number of Professional deaths has begun to increase massively.”

Mo Xiaoyu continued, looking at the tablet;

“Many comments say it's because of the great elixir theory. Eating people... for the sake of strength, whether it's Clubs or rogue organizations, they're all taking this path.”

In fact, there were also negative comments in the threads.

Namely, that Suhang was monopolizing resources. Even though the number 3 potion could replace second-tier Spirit Medicine, Suhang was unwilling to release it, forcing many to choose the path of human great elixirs.

In reality, the production of the number 3 potion was incredibly scarce.

That section of the Willow Tree King's branch was only so big.

It was only now, with the Great Turtle's carcass and the subsequent Dragon Wolf's carcass, that the production of the number 3 potion had slightly picked up.

Before, the number 3 potion was entirely a conceptual product and couldn't be mass-produced at all.

Of course, if Ye Su saw such comments, he would only say;

“Can't you damn well train yourselves!”

“Or form a team to hunt King-level Lifeforms!”

“Bullying the weak and fearing the strong—you dogs!”
