172: Chapter 172 Bai Ze Advances to Demigod! Battle Power Breaks Through 30 Billion!

Great Xia Alliance Command Center.

Lin Feng had just returned from the Void Realm battlefield and had barely sat down when Long Lao pushed the door open and walked in.

The old man's expression was more solemn than ever before.

He stared at Lin Feng for a long time, finally took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Lin Feng, whether Great Xia can survive this time depends entirely on you."

Lin Feng sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, put down his teacup, and asked with a frown: "Principal, what do you mean by that?"

"To block the invaders outside, we must wake up the guardian dragon sleeping beneath the Starry Sky Tower."

Long Lao walked to the window, looked at the bustling street scene of the Imperial Capital outside, and muttered to himself: "But this dragon isn't woken up for free. It is the lifeline of this world. If you want it to move, someone has to pay with their life."

"Pay with their life?" Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, "Are you saying that waking it requires a sacrifice?"

"Pretty much. This kind of thing requires a 9th-rank god to sacrifice their own freedom."

"Once the awakening procedure is initiated, I will have to become a puppet in the hands of the True God, staying in the depths of the Void Realm forever to guard the gate for him. By then, there will be no one left to protect the Great Xia Alliance."

Long Lao turned his head, his eyes filled with a resolve as if he were making his final arrangements: "I have lived long enough. After I am gone, you must take up this burden."

Lin Feng fell silent.

Through his interactions over this period, he had already seen through the essence of this world.

The so-called True God did not view the living beings of this place as people at all.

In his eyes, this place was just a pigsty used to harvest faith.

To become stronger himself, he went outside to snatch other people's territory, while leaving the mess at home for people like Principal Qin or Long Lao to risk their lives for.

Such behavior was disgusting to the extreme.

"Principal, you should rest first. I have my own way to protect Great Xia."

Lin Feng did not directly agree to Long Lao's proposal.

A particularly arrogant thought had already arisen in his mind.

Run away? Become a vagrant?

No, that would be too shameful.

Since the master of this place didn't know how to manage things, why not just snatch this territory and let him, Lin Feng, become the sole Dominator!

Returning to his detached villa, Lin Feng directly called Tang You and Gu Ze over.

The two of them were still confused when they entered the room.

Gu Ze scratched the back of his head and asked curiously: "Brother Feng, why did you call us here early in the morning? I saw the military vehicles outside moving very frequently; is there going to be a big war?"

Lin Feng didn't beat around the bush with them and said straightforwardly: "I want you to transfer the faith of your territories to me. From today on, be my subordinate gods."

"Subordinate gods?"

The soda in Gu Ze's hand almost fell to the ground.

He widened his eyes, his face full of shock: "Brother Feng, are you serious? Our faith nominally belongs to that guy above. If you do this and get caught, it's a capital offense!"

Tang You, standing beside him, was also so scared that her pretty face turned pale.

She had already stepped into the 6th rank and naturally understood what this behavior meant.

This was poaching the True God's Foundation, and furthermore, digging up his ancestral grave right in front of him.

"This place will collapse sooner or later, and following that idiot True God is a dead end. Are you willing to believe in me?"

Lin Feng stared into their eyes, his tone calm.

"Believe! Of course I believe!"

Tang You was the first to stand out, patting her chest to guarantee: "My territory is already full of statues of Bai Ze anyway. As long as you say the word, I will go back and change the final imprint right now!"

"Damn it, let's do it! Anyway, my life was saved by you."

Gu Ze also gritted his teeth and waved his fist fiercely: "Following Brother Feng is better than being harvested like leeks by others!"

Lin Feng nodded without saying much else.

He directly mobilized his Divine Power and forcibly locked the territorial coordinates of the two with his Chaos Territory.

Boom!

Three plane-like mountains completed a deep integration in the Void Realm.

When Gu Ze and Tang You's Divine Thoughts entered Lin Feng's territory, the two were completely stunned by the scene before them.

A vast territory of over 700 million square kilometers!

Tens of thousands of top-tier Spiritual Veins!

And those Divine Beasts, whose true forms were taller than the clouds!

In the face of such a terrifying formation, their territories were simply like two insignificant sesame seeds.

"Ding! Prompt: A bear tribe has sensed the Chaos pressure and has converted to believing in Pixiu as their only supreme totem!"

"Ding! Prompt: A Centaur force has witnessed the true form of the Azure Dragon, has declared submission, and is generating massive amounts of faith essence!"

The System's prompts rang non-stop in Lin Feng's mind.

This speed of harvesting made Lin Feng feel particularly comfortable.

One passes to ten, ten to a hundred.

As long as these seeds were planted, it wouldn't be long before he could drain the faith of this entire Divine Realm.

Deepest part of the Starry Sky Tower.

The pair of golden eyes sleeping underground suddenly opened for a moment.

"Strange aura... Is it that outlier again?"

"Young people today are getting bolder and bolder. To actually dare to pull such a stunt here."

The Dragon let out a muffled sigh, then closed its eyes with some disdain.

In its view, no matter how much Lin Feng stirred up trouble, as long as this little guy was still in this territory, all the energy produced in the end would sooner or later be food for the True God.

Let this little guy toss about for a few more days.

After sending Tang You and Gu Ze away, Lin Feng locked the door.

He took out the top-grade crystals he had snatched from the ruins earlier from his pocket.

These stones, flashing with various colors, were now the best fertilizer for him.

"Distributing them to you, hurry up and raise your strength."

Lin Feng waved his hand, and over a hundred 9th-rank crystals fell like raindrops into the depths of his territory.

If the big shots of the chambers of commerce outside saw this kind of spending, they would probably die of anger on the spot.

After arranging this, Lin Feng cast his gaze toward Bai Ze in the center of the forest.

At this moment, Bai Ze had a thick layer of five-colored divine light flowing around its body.

Although its size was not as exaggerated as the Pixiu, it had already turned into a small white mountain emitting a holy aura.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host! Bai Ze has absorbed enough belief from all living beings and has successfully promoted to—Demigod rank!"

Boom!

A white-gold thunderbolt descended from the sky.

Bai Ze chirped toward the sky, and every feather on its body seemed to be woven from pure rules of power.

Only now could it be considered a true Divine Beast.

Before this, it was at best a henchman with a relatively high-level Bloodline.

"System, open the latest panel!"

Lin Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and issued the command.

"Ding! Holographic panel expanded..."

Too strong!

In less than a month, Lin Feng had continuously devoured the territories of powerful enemies and frantically looted strategic materials.

His comprehensive combat power could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds!

Nowadays, although he had not officially been crowned a Pseudo-God, suppressing ordinary Pseudo-Gods was as easy as eating and drinking.

It was a pity that wanting to upgrade his exclusive plane into a real Divine Realm was by no means a task that could be accomplished overnight.

Moreover, Lin Feng still needed to use this as a Foundation to condense his own Godhead.

However, such a long-term plan could definitely not be accomplished in three or five days.

If other True Gods knew of Lin Feng's intentions, they would probably vomit blood on the spot.

The strong who could reach the throne of the True God were all those who had gone through thousands of hardships and spent endless years to finally make it.

Lin Feng was actually delusional enough to want to quickly condense a Godhead in a few days!

If a Godhead were so easy to condense, how would Empress Amaterasu, Long Lao, and this group of Pseudo-Gods be stuck in the Bottleneck period, struggling bitterly without being able to Breakthrough?

Condensing a Godhead is not just a competition of power and resources.

It is the ultimate test of perseverance, persistence, and talent!

Buzz! Buzz!

Just as Lin Feng had settled all the big and small matters in his territory, the smart terminal in the villa suddenly sent out an urgent alarm.

Someone asking for help?!

Lin Feng noticed the movement and immediately walked to the screen.

"Huh? How could they..."

After seeing the content of the message, Lin Feng was slightly stunned.

This distress signal was actually sent by Empress Amaterasu herself!

Empress Amaterasu had a biological sister hidden by her side, who was also at the Pseudo-God Realm!

With the two joining forces, the odds of dealing with this group of robbers from outside the territory should have been extremely high.

But in this situation, they had actually sent out a distress signal of the utmost urgency!

Could it be that the enemy troops from outside the territory had launched an all-out attack?
