431: Platinum Peak

Wen Zhiyuan flew to Qin Shilei’s side, pointed at the many Evolutionaries below, and asked, “My King, they might have filmed that scene just now. Should we make them delete the video?”

Qin Shilei scanned the crowd and said indifferently, “You can put that scene on the chat channel. Qin will not fear it!”

“I have a sword that will surely break through the firmament one day, so why fear these mere Wind Sprites!”

Wen Zhiyuan looked at Qin Shilei’s domineering demeanor, and for a moment, an infinite sense of worship and longing arose within him.

He once considered himself a powerful leader and had built up a formidable force.

However, due to various reasons, he had no choice but to submit to Qin Shilei.

But as time passed, he was immensely grateful that he had recognized Qin Shilei as his master.

Now, he had become Qin Shilei’s loyal subordinate.

Watching Qin Shilei effortlessly kill his city lord and the incredibly powerful Wind Demon King with a wave of his hand.

The people below felt their hearts tremble, fearing that Qin Shilei might kill them too with a wave of his hand.

They all shouted, “Qin An King is discerning! We will never falsely accuse you, Qin An King!”

Upon realizing that Qin Shilei had no intention of killing them, they spoke again, “We humbly request Qin An King to be our King! We will follow you to the death.”

Qin Shilei ignored the shouts of the people below, turned to Wen Zhiyuan, and instructed, “You all kill those Wind Sprites, and then you may leave on your own.”

Wen Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, “Understood!”

Qin Shilei once again rode the Golden Winged Thunder Roc and flew away into the distance.

Meanwhile, after Wen Zhiyuan and his group took action, the remaining Wind Sprites were quickly eliminated.

The survivors of this city also moved to another city with walls in the near future.

Without the protection of a Golden Expert, they probably wouldn't survive long if they stayed there.

Before this, a video was uploaded online.

It was a complete video of Qin Shilei killing Meren, from Qin Shilei's appearance to his departure.

As soon as this video was released, it immediately attracted countless discussions.

“What a hypocrite! I think that Wind Sprite was led there by Qin An King.”

“The number one person on Blue Star? I never thought he would be such a sinister villain.”

“Look, he killed Meren at the end, wasn't it because he was afraid that Meren would expose his ugly true colors?”

However, these comments attacking Qin Shilei were quickly drowned out by another kind of voice.

“So handsome! Qin An King, I want to have your babies!”

“So domineering! From today onwards, I will become Qin An King’s die-hard fan.”

“With such strength, Qin An King really doesn't need to play tricks on a mere Golden Expert.”

“Facing the peerless Qin An King, are some ambitious people hiding in corners, trembling?”

During this period, Qin Shilei spent most of his time in seclusion. Although he consistently held the top spot on the cultivation ranking, many people had forgotten or overlooked his strength.

Now, a video once again showed everyone Qin Shilei’s invincible posture.

A high-level Golden Wind Demon King was easily subdued with a casual move.

Currently, on the rankings, apart from Qin Shilei and his three wives, the highest others have reached is only Gold Four Stars.

This means that no Evolutionary on the entire Blue Star is a match for Qin Shilei’s single move.

Upon discovering this fact, many ambitious people indeed felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

But there were also many Evolutionaries who were conquered by Qin Shilei’s disdain for the world, and the idea of joining Qin Shilei arose in their minds.

At this moment, Qin Shilei had already entered the Blessed Land again.

After acquiring experts from the Demonic Sect and the Zhengqi Alliance, Qin Shilei could once again be a hands-off manager in expanding his territory.

One day later, several maps marked with large oil reserves were delivered to Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei took the maps, rode the Golden Winged Thunder Roc, and flew rapidly for almost a day, collecting enough oil to supply Great Xia for more than half a year.

He then took out ten large-capacity Space Rings and arranged for ten Golden Experts to transport oil for the expeditionary army.

After everything was arranged, Qin Shilei and An Qian once again entered seclusion.

Ten days later, when he emerged from the Blessed Land again, his cultivation had already reached Platinum Peak.

At this time, the Qin An Royal Mansion army had already swept across the Republic of South Vietnam and the Principality of Pahwhip.

Eighty percent of the Evolutionaries in these two countries chose to become subordinate forces of the Qin An Royal Mansion.

Massive resources were continuously sent to Qin Shilei, and he even collected three sets of materials for setting up teleportation arrays.

Qin Shilei was now somewhat conflicted.

Should he suppress his cultivation and wait until the Space Rift allows Platinum Realm experts to pass through, then go to another world to harvest a wave of resources, and then continue upgrading?

“Shi Lei, I think you should consider advancing. After all, there are still nearly ten months until the one-year deadline,” An Qian suggested.

“But there are many resources in the other world that we don’t have on Blue Star. If I hadn’t obtained a batch of materials from Ice Frost Venerable back then, I wouldn’t have been able to gather the materials for the teleportation array now,” Qin Shilei hesitated.

“Qin Dage, I think you’re being too attached. Blue Star is so big, and we haven’t even explored it all, yet you’re focused on going to another world. Only by becoming strong enough can you be safer when you go to another world,” Zhang Xiaoli also advised Qin Shilei to find a way to advance quickly.

Qin Shilei laughed, “You’re right, I was being too attached. I kept thinking that I was invincible on Blue Star and should explore other worlds. But I didn’t consider that if I encountered a Master-level expert, they might just slap me to death.”

Having decided to break through, he followed his connection with Ding Teng all the way to the vast grasslands north of Great Xia.

When Qin Shilei saw Ding Teng, he was holding a three to four-meter-long gray wolf and sucking its blood, with dozens of high-level Golden Zombies standing around.

“Greetings, My King. What are your orders?” Ding Teng quickly dropped the gray wolf and flew over to greet him.

“Nothing, I just came to check on your situation. I’ll leave in a moment,” Qin Shilei replied casually.

As he spoke, he had already extracted the orange “Yin-Yang Reversal” attribute from Ding Teng’s body.

Then he temporarily refreshed and fixed a purple attribute on Ding Teng.

After casually asking about the construction of the Zombie Emperor’s empire, Qin Shilei flew back to Hope City again.

While flying, he extracted the “Elementalization” attribute from his body to his collection, and then fixed the “Yin-Yang Reversal” attribute onto himself.

Yin-Yang Reversal (Orange): The Zombie Emperor is originally an extremely Yin and evil being, but Yin alone cannot grow. When Yin reaches its limit, a cluster of Yang will be born, greatly increasing its resistance to the extremely strong and Yang Heavenly Lightning.

[The host is not a Zombie body, so it can only exert half of the effect of Yin-Yang Reversal. Wearing this attribute helps in comprehending the principle of Yin and Yang co-existence.]

The system’s notification sound immediately rang out.

Although he couldn't maximize the effectiveness of this attribute, Qin Shilei was already very satisfied.

Because one of the conditions for advancing to the Diamond Realm was to comprehend the principle of Yin and Yang co-existence.
