379: Contribution points!

On this vast, boundless sea, countless astonishing wars have taken place, and countless blood and corpses are forever buried in its depths.

However, no matter how spectacular those heroic deeds were, none have been passed down.

After all, humanity has now reached a moment of life and death; the survival rate of humans on Blue Star is currently less than five percent!

The Demon Race, having bided its time for so many years, finally couldn't hold back from making a move!

After the great battle, the sea returned to calm, with only surging waves rolling.

Above the sea, Fang Bai curiously asked Ancestor Pei, “What is the current situation in Dragon Country?”

Ancestor Pei slowly replied, “It hasn't reached a difficult stage, because of the Demon Race's encirclement, the various forces within Dragon Country are unprecedentedly united. Moreover, with Old Man Wan holding the fort, the Demon Race has only made a few probes and hasn't launched a decisive battle, so the situation is relatively stable.”

Hearing this, Fang Bai felt much more relieved.

He couldn't go back yet; with his current strength, returning wouldn't make much of a difference.

Fang Bai's goal is to reach the peak of the world!

Late Ninth-Rank! Even Ninth Rank Peak!

That way, he could face any risk!

Ancestor Pei retorted, “What are your plans next?”

Fang Bai glanced at Musashi and the others, then said, “I am now the Alliance Leader of the Alliance Nation, so naturally, I need to go back and see what's going on.”

Ancestor Pei nodded in understanding.

It must be said, Puka's demise was something no one had expected.

Moreover, when he fell, almost all Ninth Rank experts in the entire world felt it.

The fall of a Ninth Rank Peak expert was indeed terrible news for humanity!

Ancestor Pei reminded him, “Although you have taken the position of Alliance Leader, please... act within your capabilities.”

Fang Bai understood his meaning and said, “Don't worry, my life is more precious than anyone else's.”

He agreed to be the Alliance Leader only to use its power; if something truly unexpected happened one day, he would definitely be the first to run!

Damn it! Everyone's just trying to get by, why risk their lives?

Ancestor Pei slowly said, “In that case, take care!”

Fang Bai nodded.

The three favors had been used up; the next time they met, it would probably be the final decisive battle.

Fang Bai looked into the distance, his gaze profound.

Next, he still had to become stronger!

Even breaking through to Ninth Rank wasn't enough, far from enough!

Among the Demon Race, there were at least five Demon Gods who could kill him!

Moreover, there was still the unknown existence in the Far North Land!

With this thought, Fang Bai looked at Musashi and the other two and said, “Let's go, back to the Alliance Nation.”

Musashi and the others nodded.

They all breathed a sigh of relief. They had originally come specifically to invite Fang Bai back, expecting him to resist, but it had progressed so smoothly.

Speaking of which, they also had to thank the Five-Headed Demon God; their arrival was like a timely help, and Fang Bai also reciprocated this favor.

A few days later, Fang Bai returned to the Alliance Nation.

At this time, the Alliance Nation was still undergoing post-disaster reconstruction.

Buildings destroyed by the Sea Demons were constantly being repaired through everyone's efforts.

In this, ordinary people finally played a role.

Fang Bai stood atop a tall building, overlooking the nation below.

Honestly, the Alliance Nation wasn't truly a nation; it was just a union of a dozen or so countries that formed a base on this island, serving as a temporary stronghold.

As for their original territories, most were occupied by the Demon Race, and a small portion was abandoned due to national destruction and sparse population.

What's the point of land if there are no people?

At this moment, the Priest and Musashi appeared behind Fang Bai.

The Priest slowly said, “The Sea Demon Race won't make a move for now; they have been defeated. We can catch our breath for a short time. The real threat is the Night Demon.”

Hearing this, Fang Bai looked up. A demonic aura still permeated the clouds, but that aura was suppressed and wouldn't emerge anytime soon.

However, Fang Bai saw something others couldn't: Puka's power was converging towards Night Demon in a special way.

Absorption!

Seeing this, Fang Bai's expression immediately darkened.

“That Night Demon is devouring Puka's energy. If it succeeds, it will break its seal early and become even stronger!”

Hearing this, the Priest and Musashi's expressions immediately became solemn.

“If that's the case, our time is running out!”

Fang Bai suddenly looked at them and asked, “Where are the others?”

The Priest said, “Three Demon Gods have gone out to sea to hunt high-tier Sea Demons. We now need a large amount of resources to improve our strength, to prepare for the Sea Demon Race's second charge.”

Fang Bai understood; what they were doing was indeed the only option.

But if Night Demon broke through the seal, their improvements would be a joke!

Although they could face those Demon Race armies, encountering high-tier experts would mean soldiers could only resign themselves to bad luck.

Fang Bai suddenly said, “Have everyone return; I want to hold a meeting!”

Hearing this, the Priest nodded, “This old man will go and do it immediately.”

Since Fang Bai had become the Alliance Leader, they would naturally obey his command!

Fang Bai continued, “I will go into seclusion first. Wait for me to come out.”

A moment later, Fang Bai arrived at the temporary residence they had prepared for him.

“System, is there any way to make my cultivation speed faster?”

“Host, you have already reached Ninth Rank. Currently, the resources possessed by this system cannot provide for you.”

Fang Bai's mouth twitched, “So you've reached your limit now?”

“This version has indeed reached its limit. If the Host successfully breaks through, the system will trigger a hidden mode and upgrade.”

Upgrade?

Fang Bai said in a deep voice, “What kind of breakthrough are you referring to?”

“Tenth Rank.”

Tenth Rank!

Fang Bai felt a bit annoyed. He asked, “If I kill all the demon beasts on Blue Star, can I reach Tenth Rank?”

“Unknown. Perhaps, or perhaps it will fail.”

Fang Bai's face darkened, “Then how the hell do I break through?”

“This system can provide the Host with blood qi cashback. As long as you kill alien races, you can gain energy feedback!”

Fang Bai was speechless, “That's all you're good for! So useless!”

“This system can also provide the Host with additional help, such as granting the Host the ‘Undying Body’ or the ‘Void-Breaking Pupils’ skill, which sees through all illusions.”

Fang Bai's eyes lit up, “Then you're still somewhat useful! What are you waiting for? Give them to me now!”

“Apologies! The system cannot currently grant them. These skills are all high-dimensional divine skills. The Host needs to submit enough Contribution Points to unlock them.”

Fang Bai frowned, “Such as?”

“Killing demon beasts in exchange for Contribution Points. Host's current Contribution Points: 7,839,920.”

“Note:

Killing a First-tier Demon Beast = 1 Contribution Point

Killing a Second-Tier Demonic Beast = 10 Contribution Points!

Killing a Third-Tier Demonic Beast = 100 Contribution Points!

...Killing a Ninth Rank Demon God = 1,000,000 Contribution Points!”
