162: Chapter 162 Elder Long: We are all the true god's leeks

After inspecting the Human Emperor's progress, Lin Feng turned his attention to the commoner class of the Holy Radiance Empire.

Although only Human Race experts who have broken through can provide massive amounts of incense, the population base is simply too terrifying!

His Divine Thought swept across the capital of the Holy Radiance Empire like a radar.

It was a super main city with a shocking footprint, and its permanent population had broken the 10 million mark!

The city's location was excellent, situated right in the middle of two huge, top-grade Spiritual Veins.

The wide streets were bustling with traffic, and all industries were flourishing.

After all, as the capital, even the commoners walking on the street were mostly Tier 2 or Tier 3 Cultivators; one could hardly find a few Mortals without any cultivation.

Not only that, the Holy Radiance Empire also frantically absorbed advanced technology from outsiders during their expansion and cross-border trade with surrounding tribes.

Lin Feng even saw steam locomotives puffing smoke in the bustling city center!

This showed that the Human Race was not only obsessed with cultivation but was also making great strides in climbing the technology tree.

By walking on two legs and using both approaches, the faith essence produced was naturally as deep as an abyss, envied by many.

Unfortunately, they had only lit up the steam age and hadn't even reached the threshold of generators.

"The Human Race's faith production capacity is truly Heaven-Defying!"

Witnessing such a grand scene, Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

It was truly worthy of being a top-tier species that could perfectly fuse technology and cultivation, with potential that was bottomless.

And the chaos purple qi he monopolized could perfectly smooth out the fate-bound bottleneck of the Human Race failing to break through Tier 6.

It seemed that establishing the Human Race as the primary vassal race was a brilliant strategic move.

With his mind made up, Lin Feng shifted his Divine Thought to other small Human Race nations and Sects within his territory.

These powers were small, with the strongest Sect Head having only Tier 5 or 6 cultivation, and their territory and population were pathetic.

Some of these believers worshipped the Azure Dragon, while others worshipped the Phoenix.

Compared to the Holy Radiance Empire, they were indeed quite shabby.

He had to give these people some benefits quickly to rapidly boost their faith production capacity.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng drew out dozens of wisps of chaos purple qi and bestowed them upon the various Sect Heads and kings in the name of the various Divine Beasts.

These human leaders, having received unexpected wealth and glimpsing hope for Ascension, became fanatically devout to their totems.

Fortunately, he had obtained a large batch of purple qi in the Tier 9 Ruins; otherwise, he really couldn't afford this group of gold-devouring beasts.

Next, he only needed to wait for the good news.

Lin Feng calculated that in at most half a month, he would be able to squeeze out enough faith essence to break through the ultimate threshold of fanatic faith!

...

During the wait, Lin Feng decided to go to the military headquarters to probe Dragon Elder.

After all, the suddenly appearing Tier 9 giant from another world had left a knot in his heart.

Outside the Main World's air defense network, how many terrifying beings on the same level as a True God were hiding?

This matter had to be asked clearly of the old principal.

His thoughts flowed, and Lin Feng cut the connection, returning to reality.

With a flash, he activated space jump and arrived outside the military building instantly.

It was smooth sailing, and he pushed open the door to the exclusive office.

Dragon Elder seemed to have sensed him, already sitting behind the mahogany desk waiting.

"Sit, what is the rush to see me?"

Dragon Elder smiled peacefully.

"Principal, I do have a few big questions to ask."

Lin Feng pulled out a chair and sat down, getting straight to the point, recounting his experience of encountering the Tier 9 Dragon Dominator in the Void Realm.

As expected, after hearing Lin Feng's description, Dragon Elder's brows knitted together.

"A wandering powerhouse from outside the territory has actually infiltrated near our Great Xia border."

Dragon Elder stood up slowly and walked to the Starry Sky Divine Dragon totem hanging on the wall.

"To be honest, just ten days ago, a core mining area of the White Eagle Federation was destroyed by external forces."

"The seven or eight Tier 8 generals guarding the mining area were all wiped out!"

"This is also the reason why the four super powers suddenly stopped fighting and aligned their guns outward."

"Actually, thousands of years ago, the Great Xia Alliance experienced a brutal invasion. The Alliance suffered heavy losses, and a large number of top experts fell, which is the fundamental reason for the Great Xia's decline from its Peak."

Hearing Dragon Elder's words, Lin Feng's eyes narrowed.

Deep in the Void Realm, other True Gods were indeed lurking!

He did not interrupt, quietly waiting for Dragon Elder to reveal the final answer.

Dragon Elder sighed and continued: "Fortunately, our Universe has a supreme True God protecting it in secret. Even with huge losses, the Main World will never collapse."

"And most of the invaders are just pseudo-True Gods; they are nothing before our true protector."

True God!

Hearing these two words, Lin Feng's heart shook violently.

This was the first time he had heard this title from Dragon Elder.

Clearly, as a Tier 9 Peak expert, Dragon Elder was fully aware that creators of higher dimensions existed above the Main World.

Seeing Lin Feng's unusual expression, Dragon Elder smiled indifferently.

"You must be wondering, what is a pseudo-True God? And why, knowing the existence of the True God, am I willing to be a believer?"

Facing Dragon Elder's words, Lin Feng remained silent, listening attentively.

The biggest dark secret of the Main World was about to be revealed.

"Lin Feng, although you are only Tier 8, you are not qualified to know such top secrets."

"But your combat power is Heaven-Defying, capable of fighting Tier 9 giants. Now that the Alliance faces external threats, telling you is fine."

Dragon Elder's tone was calm, as if he were talking about something mundane.

"Actually, all the totem dragons raised in our territory get their power source from the supreme Sacred Beasts under the True God."

This made Lin Feng frown.

It wasn't because this secret was shocking, but because these words came from Dragon Elder.

The supreme leader of the Great Xia Alliance, a top expert at the pinnacle of power, didn't care about this cruel harvesting logic?

But thinking about it, Lin Feng was immediately relieved.

What was the difference between Dragon Elder's situation and the Human Race Cultivators in the Chaos Territory?

Didn't the Human Race Cultivators also worship Baize like their own father?

The gods of the Main World were carved from the same mold. Because of totem brainwashing since childhood, no one would have any doubts about the Starry Sky Divine Dragon.

Lin Feng was a transmigrator with a cheat, naturally having no reverence for this faith hegemony.

What was a Divine Dragon? Could it be sliced up as a midnight snack for Taotie?

...

Through Dragon Elder's revelation, Lin Feng understood the underlying operating Laws of the Universe.

In the real world, the actual Divine Dragon existed!

Including Yamata no Orochi, the Sky Divine Eagle, and the Mad Bear, all had main bodies hidden in the Main World.

The only purpose of the True Gods creating these Divine Beast main bodies was to automatically harvest the faith essence of the gods!

Just like Lin Feng harvesting indigenous leeks in the Chaos Territory, it was pure nesting doll operation.

The Divine Dragons summoned by gods in their exclusive planes were all fakes!

They were all energy projections split from the Divine Beast main bodies in the Main World.

This was why Lin Feng couldn't absorb any Origin power when fighting others.

Because these Clones had no Origin!

This explained why any high-tier god could summon a Divine Dragon, but true national Magical Artifacts were rare and held by top leaders.

Because most gods didn't even know how to forge Magical Artifacts!

Facing the truth revealed by Dragon Elder, Lin Feng exclaimed, "Good heavens."

All gods in the Universe were treated as livestock by the True God!

The so-called holy totem was just a sickle used by the True God to harvest leeks.

Ring after ring, he was completely following the True God's script.

Also, from Dragon Elder, Lin Feng verified his previous suspicion.

The main body of the Divine Dragon was hidden in a secret dimension beneath the Starry Sky Tower in the capital!

This news excited Lin Feng.

However, when Lin Feng tentatively asked about the combat power of the Divine Dragon main body, Dragon Elder showed an expression of profound awe.

He only revealed one point: The Divine Dragon main body could kill ordinary Tier 9 powerhouses like crushing an ant.

This sentence killed Lin Feng's budding thoughts in the cradle.

Killing a Tier 9 in seconds! This was lawless.

He hadn't stepped into the Tier 9 God Realm yet, let alone challenging the Divine Dragon main body.

"Principal, since you know this cruel truth, why not take the territory and leave the Main World?"

Lin Feng asked the core question directly.

Tier 9 gods could merge their bodies into their exclusive planes and escape the Main World's control; wouldn't that be nice?

But the Tier 9 leaders of the four Empires seemed to enjoy the status quo, with no plans to defect.

Facing Lin Feng's question, Dragon Elder just smiled and shook his head, unwilling to explain more.

Since the old principal wouldn't talk, Lin Feng had to shut up.

Then, Lin Feng turned the topic back to the external enemy.

According to Dragon Elder, the last large-scale invasion was thousands of years ago.

In that battle, countless Tier 9 heroes of the Great Xia Alliance died, leading to the Alliance's cliff-like decline.

It allowed the Bloody Moon, White Eagle, and Mad Bear Empires to grow strong.

And this time, it was the second Void Realm invasion in history!

The Great Xia, which had hundreds of Tier 9 giants last time, almost perished; what about this time?

At this point, Dragon Elder's brows knitted even tighter.

This time, the four super Empires smelled the scent of destruction.

This was why, once the external enemy appeared, the four nations stopped fighting and aligned their guns.

How they fought among themselves was internal, just reallocating benefits.

But external gods coming to kill were here to destroy the world and grab all resources! If they didn't huddle for warmth, everyone would die without a burial place!

Just a few days ago, a super mining area of the White Eagle Federation was the first to be slaughtered by the external enemy.

This was just a prelude.

The vanguard sent by the opponent was at least Tier 8!

If they didn't unite, the mining areas of all major nations in the Void Realm periphery would be swallowed by outsiders.

Dragon Elder's thorough explanation dispelled all of Lin Feng's doubts.

This logic was like the world wars on Earth.

Countries fought to the death behind closed doors, but once aliens arrived in flying saucers, who would continue the civil war?

Definitely throwing all heavy firepower at the alien spaceship immediately!

"I understand, Principal. If there is a need, I am ready."

Lin Feng looked solemn, nodding heavily.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Alliance's War Department, he had this much big-picture perspective.

Although he was a transmigrator at heart, he grew up eating Great Xia's rice, so defending the country was his duty.

Seeing Lin Feng's stance, Dragon Elder nodded heavily too.

"Currently, the enemy is only testing the periphery of the Void Realm; they are afraid of angering the True God above the Main World."

"If the war escalates, I will notify you immediately."

Dragon Elder said in a deep voice.

The enemy was clearly afraid of the Main World's background, only daring to knock around the periphery. The White Eagle Federation's mining area became the first victim.

So far, no battle report of the Great Xia Alliance's mining area being attacked had been received.

Of course, this had a lot to do with the Great Xia Alliance being so poor that it only had four resource points left.

Targets were too few, they couldn't even find a place to rob...
