114: Chapter 114 Who can withstand this rate of development?!

"Well done! Full of spirit!" General Yan Xiao slapped Lin Feng on the shoulder firmly and laughed out loud.

"Do you need me to take on any specific duties?" Lin Feng put down his identity badge, his tone solemn.

"Participate in the defense of the front line, and while you're at it, act as a bodyguard for the Alliance's expeditionary fleet." General Yan Xiao gave his reply.

The tasks he assigned were only two. First, hold the Great Xia Alliance's void defense line to the death and guard against the Red Sun Empire gods taking advantage of any vulnerabilities. Second, provide close protection when the Alliance's scientific expedition team goes out to perform tasks, which means serving as the expedition team leader.

Neither point was difficult. As Elder Long's designated successor, the higher-ups would naturally not arrange any suicide missions for Lin Feng.

"Understood, leave it to me." Lin Feng nodded in agreement.

"Don't be blindly optimistic."

"Although the Red Sun Empire hasn't gathered the courage to wage full-scale war yet."

"You must never lose your vigilance against thieves." General Yan Xiao frowned, his expression turning grave.

As the commander of the Imperial Capital Military Region, he was very clear about how heavy the burden on his shoulders was.

"You must also be on guard against assassination attempts by the Red Sun Empire at all times."

Assassination?

Lin Feng was slightly stunned.

It sounded a bit mysterious, but in the cruel reality of clashes between great powers, this tactic was commonplace.

"Received, I am aware of it." Lin Feng replied solemnly.

Although General Yan Xiao was usually boisterous when speaking, Lin Feng was by no means a fool and could fully grasp the stakes involved.

The slaughter and collisions between empires were absolutely not child's play.

At present, Lin Feng did not yet have the confidence to go head-to-head with a Tier 9 True God.

Unless all the living things in the opponent's lair were undead units.

Before that, he had to honestly keep growing in the shadows.

Once he reached the rank of an 8th-Order God, he would basically no longer have to fear the Tier 9 giants.

...

Leaving the Imperial Capital United Front Zone, Lin Feng returned to his exclusive villa in Xinghai City.

He learned from General Yan Xiao that the current situation was already on the verge of breaking out.

The two super empires could start a full-scale war at any time.

And the fuse of the powder keg was Lin Feng himself.

Before that, he had to race against time to increase his comprehensive combat power.

...

More than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Feng stayed indoors, focusing entirely on developing his Chaos Territory.

His three meals a day were delivered by designated personnel.

Tang You would also occasionally cook personally and bring him some food.

He didn't need to worry about meals at all.

During this period, Lin Feng received orders from the military region.

Hanging the title of Deputy Commander, he took a four-person expedition team out for a stroll to experience void exploration.

This four-person team was entirely composed of military elites of the fifth and sixth tiers.

When everyone learned that their team leader was actually a freshman, and that his rank was as high as the seventh tier, they were all dumbfounded.

They wailed about how comparing people to others only leads to frustration.

After learning that Lin Feng was already a Deputy Commander of the Imperial Capital Military Region, the admiration of these elite soldiers grew even stronger.

This test run only swept through a few Tier 4 and 5 fragments, and at most, they encountered a Tier 6 ruin.

Regrettably, they failed to obtain any Origin Crystals.

As for the distant super ruins, Lin Feng did not intend to join the fun in the near future.

Right now, the entire Red Sun Empire was frantically hunting him down; if he ran too far and happened to run into a Tier 9 True God from the enemy country, it would definitely be a big trouble.

As the days passed, Lin Feng occasionally went out for a stroll and noticed that there were many more foreign faces inside Starry Sky University.

To be precise, these were foreign gods who did not belong to the Great Xia Alliance.

According to Tang You, because the international grand examination was approaching, many foreign prodigies had arrived in Xinghai City early to make full preparations.

After all, this international league was an excellent stage to demonstrate the strength of an empire, so every super empire took it very seriously.

Even the Red Sun Empire, whose relationship with the Great Xia Alliance had dropped to freezing point, still sent exchange students over.

Cold war was one thing, but international activities on the surface still proceeded as usual.

...

After more than half a month of careful cultivation, the Chaos Territory welcomed a massive explosion! It successfully hatched a Tier 6 wild leader!

Although it was an ordinary mutated species, it was absolutely huge news.

Apart from the Tier 6 leader, several hundred Tier 5 Overlords also emerged.

For ordinary gods, wanting to feed a Tier 5 unit would take a very long time.

But Lin Feng, who possessed the Zhulong time-dilation buff and the monstrous prehistoric trial halo, completed the class leap in less than a month.

And he didn't waste a single bit of high-level materials throughout the process.

Apart from high-end combat power, the total number of tribes and city-states within the territory had broken through the barrier of ten thousand!

Although they still seemed sparse when scattered across thirty million square kilometers of land, fortunately, the reproduction rate of the tribes had been in a state of crazy growth.

The more tribes there were and the higher the civilization rank, the greater the faith essence provided.

Under the faith boost of over ten thousand tribes, Lin Feng's total combat power soared all the way to a terrifying 370 million!

The regretful part was that the purity of faith was still stuck at the pan-faith stage.

After all, although the tribal base was large, the number of high-level tribes that were intelligent enough and capable of building faith wonders was only about one hundred at most.

Most of the other indigenous people were not yet enlightened.

For example, the Moon Shadow Wolf pack that chose Taotie as their totem.

These wild wolves simply didn't know how to build temples and statues, so they provided very little faith essence.

Unless he issued them exclusive artifacts to suppress their luck, he could not force an acceleration of the harvest.

Unfortunately, divine beasts must reach the 8th-Order to forge exclusive artifacts.

Currently, everyone was stuck at the Tier 7 bottleneck.

Lin Feng would never waste precious Origin Cores to forcefully help divine beasts skip levels.

After all, his own god rank was the top priority.

...

Over the past half month, besides these changes, the growth speed of the human faction was the most surprising.

After being nourished by the top-grade spiritual veins, the strength increase of this group of humans was simply monstrous.

A large number of Tier 4 immortal cultivators had already emerged.

According to the immortal cultivation system conversion, they were equivalent to Spirit Severing stage powerhouses. (Qi Refining: Tier 0, Foundation Establishment: Tier 1, Golden Core: Tier 2, Nascent Soul: Tier 3, Spirit Severing: Tier 4, Void Refinement: Tier 5, Tribulation Transcendence: Tier 6).

Relying on their super-high intelligence, humans had completely established a foothold in the Chaos Plane.

They had not only built giant cities but even developed immortal cultivation empires and sects.

They were truly worthy of being the spirits of all things.

Witnessing all these changes, Lin Feng couldn't help but marvel repeatedly.

It was hard to imagine how much energy this group of humans could unleash after a long period of precipitation.

In fact, crystals selling human units were not rare on the market, but very few gods were willing to cultivate them.

This was because humans had a fatal shortcoming: their level cap was locked at Tier 6, which was the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

After reaching Tier 6, their cultivation would completely stagnate.

Lin Feng only learned this after asking the system.

After humans promoted to Tier 6, if they wanted to continue breaking through, they had to be fed with chaos purple qi!

It was exactly the same condition as the upgrade requirements for the great beasts in the "classic of mountains and seas".

Understanding the principle, Lin Feng was completely relieved.

He had plenty of chaos purple qi, so he didn't need to worry at all.

Once the first Tier 6 human cultivator appeared, he could just throw a ball of chaos purple qi to conduct an experiment.
