96: Chapter 96 The Pixiu Appears! The Dwarves Kneel in Worship!

Upon hearing Lin Feng's command, Pixiu darted off the crystal altar and into the sky, flying happily right beneath the giant face in mid-air.

"Show these dwarves your divine power." Lin Feng's voice was filled with supreme majesty.

"As you command, great Overlord." Pixiu replied obediently.

Immediately, a vast pressure swept across the entire dwarf town.

The affected dwarves were startled; they grabbed their iron weapons, rushed out of their stone houses, and gathered in the central square.

Pixiu channeled its great power once more. A beam of golden light swept over, and the iron weapons in the dwarves' hands instantly turned into pure gold!

The dwarves were dumbfounded, staring at the weapons in their hands that had transformed into gold.

They were certain that this power of creation must have originated from the auspicious beast in the sky.

"A god! The heavenly god has manifested!"

The dwarf leader fell to his knees with a thud. "Please protect our tribe, O Heavenly God! Bestow your blessings upon us!"

Behind him, a large group of dwarves knelt down, praying with immense piety.

"Overlord, did I do well?" Pixiu asked, its tone cheerful, as if fishing for praise.

"Well done." Lin Feng was very satisfied.

Dwarves were naturally greedy for wealth. Sending this wealth-bringing divine beast to reap faith was practically effortless.

Ding! The dwarf tribe has developed a fanatical worship for Pixiu and has officially converted into Pixiu's exclusive believers!

The system notification sounded.

Lin Feng could clearly see golden Pixiu patterns emerging on the skin of these dwarves.

After binding their faith, the dwarf tribe successfully gained the protection of the divine beast.

[The Dwarf race inherits a portion of the power of wealth. When mining veins or gathering resources, there is a high probability of unearthing high-tier, top-quality materials!]

[The Dwarf race inherits a portion of the power of wealth, and their talent for business and trade has skyrocketed!]

"We must build a giant statue and a holy temple to worship the Heavenly God!"

It was unclear which dwarf shouted this, but it immediately received the approval of the entire tribe.

"That's right! Let's build it in the center of the town!"

The dwarves were full of energy. They immediately dug raw ore from the beds, fired up furnaces to forge a golden statue, and hauled giant stones to construct the holy temple.

Lin Feng maxed out the time flow rate.

A few hours later in the real world, a huge pure gold Pixiu statue rose from the ground within the Chaos Plane.

Beside the statue stood a magnificent holy temple, its roof carved with sacred array patterns.

Lin Feng clearly sensed that the faith energy Pixiu received was far greater than that of the Taotie or the Baize.

This was the heaven-defying effect of a wonder building: it could accelerate the harvesting of faith like crazy!

...

After settling the dwarves, Lin Feng descended his divine consciousness to a lizardman tribe.

Soon, this group of lizardmen gained a small amount of Xiangliu's poison-type power.

Then, Lin Feng's consciousness shifted again, enveloping a Harpy camp.

After binding, the gales fanned by the Harpies actually carried the slowing effect of the Zhulong!

Although the deceleration percentage was less than ten percent, it could be mass-produced on a large scale!

Just like that, Lin Feng spent several days establishing the totem faith of all the tribes in the Chaos Plane.

With fixed faith, the divine beasts could continuously draw pure energy from their believers.

This energy was ultimately converted into combat power values, pushing Lin Feng all the way toward the True God realm!

Withdrawing his consciousness from the virtual space, the night outside was already deep.

"System, bring up the global panel."

Ding! Panel expanded...

[Deity: Lin Feng]

[Divine Office: Chaos Overlord]

[Divine Tier: Tier 6 Deity (To sprint to Tier 7, 100 million combat power and one of each Tier 7 basic Five Elements core are required)]

[Divine Domain Area: 34 million square kilometers (45x Evolution Privilege activated)]

[Time Flow: 1 to 500 (adjustable)]

[Inventory: Tier 7 Metal Core, Tier 7 Water Core, Tier 7 Earth Core, Tier 8 Fire Core]

After establishing universal faith, Lin Feng's total combat power had directly broken the 160 million mark!

He had completely satisfied the hard requirements for promoting to Tier 7.

The only obstacle currently was the lack of the final two basic element cores to complete the plane laws.

A brand-new civilization module had also appeared on the panel.

It was currently displayed as Tier 2 Tribal Civilization.

Lin Feng didn't know the specific effects yet; he estimated he would have to wait for a higher rank to unlock new gameplay.

Closing the screen, he glanced at the date.

Tomorrow morning was the day the military expedition fleet would set sail.

Going to the super ruin cluster might just allow him to find the two missing cores.

...

The next morning, Lin Feng had just finished breakfast when the military car had already been waiting outside the villa gate for a long time.

General Yan Xiao had specifically sent people to pick him up.

Getting into the hovercar, he passed through the bustling districts of the Imperial Capital and soon arrived at a top-secret underground fortress in the suburbs.

Taking the elevator straight to the underground level, he walked into a spacious hall.

General Yan Xiao was already waiting there.

Standing in the hall were over a hundred military deities wearing special combat suits, each looking murderous.

The lineup was extremely luxurious; even the lowest were Tier 5 powerhouses, most were at Tier 6, and there were even two Tier 7 giants holding the fort!

General Yan Xiao was one of the two Tier 7 deputies.

"Lin Feng, let me introduce you to the supreme commander of this expedition." General Yan Xiao led Lin Feng to the side.

"This is the Secretary-General of the Alliance United Front Department, Secretary-General Wu Zhengde."

Looking in that direction, a middle-aged man in a formal suit with an elegant demeanor was smiling.

This person looked harmless to humans and animals, but he was exuding a genuine Tier 8 terrifying pressure!

He was a whole major tier higher than General Yan Xiao!

"Hello, you must be Lin Feng, the one who took down the Qian Financial Group single-handedly."

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde smiled kindly. "I've heard your glorious deeds mentioned countless times by Elder Long."

"Secretary-General Wu is too kind." Lin Feng returned the greeting neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He hadn't expected his fire to have already burned to the highest level.

In the Great Xia Alliance today, who hadn't heard of this god-slayer, Lin Feng?

Passing the grand exam with full marks, clearing the Starry Sky Tower, flattening the number one financial group in one night...

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Secretary-General Wu might even have thought he was listening to a storyteller.

After the pleasantries were finished, Secretary-General Wu Zhengde and General Yan Xiao began their pre-battle mobilization and tactical deployment.

The coordinate point for this expedition was [X554124, Y412410].

A super galaxy with a Tier 9 Main World ruin as its core.

It was very far from the Alliance defense line, located deep in the endless void.

Military scouts had accidentally discovered this treasure land two or three years ago.

For the past few years, the United Front Department had organized a large-scale expedition every month, like peeling an onion, bit by bit dismantling the outer fragments, aiming for the core Tier 9 treasury!

The goal was clear: to snatch the Tier 9 Origin Crystal! This was the only key to igniting the fire of a True God!

Because the journey was long, it was necessary to assemble over a hundred high-end combatants, led personally by a Tier 8 giant.

Just like with the Qian Financial Group previously, everyone's exclusive planes were physically connected together to form a massive Starry Sky Tower.

This way, all parties could provide rapid support, pushing defense to the limit and minimizing casualties.

The depths of the void were fraught with danger.

In addition to guarding against giant indigenous monsters, they also had to be wary of enemy fleets at all times.

The Blood Moon Empire, the Star Eagle Federation, the Winter Alliance... all forces were eyeing this treasure.

On the surface, countries had signed non-aggression treaties.

But once they reached the core area, in order to fight for the opportunity to become a god, treaties were just meant to be torn up; except for their own people, everyone else was a mortal enemy!

The pre-battle mobilization ended.

The group moved to a giant preparation hall.

In the hall, over a hundred military void positioning pods were neatly arranged.

Before lying into the pod, General Yan Xiao specifically walked over to instruct: "When we connect later, stay in the very center of the formation. Being wrapped inside everyone's territory, it will be absolutely safe."

Elder Long had spoken; bringing Lin Feng out this time was mainly for a tour and study, to adapt to high-intensity plane national warfare in advance.

He didn't need to charge into the front lines at all; he could just act as a passenger.

"Understood." Lin Feng nodded in response.

"You don't understand a damn thing."

General Yan Xiao glared at him. "Don't I know how arrogant you are? I'm warning you, be careful!"

"I never court death without absolute certainty."

Lin Feng shrugged.

General Yan Xiao was finally at ease and lay into his own positioning pod.

Over a hundred military powerhouses entered their pods one after another.

The roar of giant engines resonated throughout the base.

"Equipment calibration complete, the entire army is heading to the [X100000, Y100000] coordinate point to assemble."

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde gave the order on the team channel.

"After assembling, form a turtle formation and warp to the target area together!"

...

Lin Feng calibrated the data and steered the Chaos Plane straight to the assembly point.

A few dozen minutes later, they successfully arrived at the designated star region.

Ding! Radar scanned; the surroundings were full of high-energy planes of Tier 5, Tier 6, and Tier 7.

Once everyone was in position.

Secretary-General Wu Zhengde activated his Tier 8 divine ability, forcibly sucking and merging over a hundred continents together!

A fortress comparable to a giant planet took shape.

Lin Feng's Chaos Territory happened to be wrapped in the very core of the protective circle.

The spatial barriers were fully opened, and physical fusion with friendly forces was completed in all directions.

Lin Feng could observe the surrounding friendly territories without any obstruction.

Conversely, the friendly forces could also see through Lin Feng's lair at a glance.

Everyone was full of curiosity about this Great Xia number one genius.

Everyone simultaneously probed their divine consciousness into the Chaos Territory.

Then, over a hundred battle-hardened military commanders were collectively stunned.

A Tier 7 Red Dragon spanning the mountain range! A Tier 7 auspicious beast radiating holy light!

A Tier 7 Pixiu that brings wealth and treasure!

And a Tier 7 peerless fierce beast with a body comparable to a ten-thousand-foot black mountain!

Seeing this insane, max-level divine beast lineup.

The brains of all the expeditionary force members were buzzing.

Who the hell can explain, is this really the territory configuration of a Tier 6 newcomer?
