190: The Secret Art of Fusion

Swish!

A white light flashed.

With the turn of the stars, Li Feng returned to his castle.

Whoosh!

A large group of Troops heard the commotion and instantly surrounded him.

Upon seeing that it was Li Feng, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground to welcome Li Feng back.

“Go back,” Li Feng smiled and waved his hand, signaling the Troops to leave.

Just then, Li Feng’s Chief Steward, Mente, rushed over and bowed respectfully.

“You’ve worked hard, Mente.”

Li Feng smiled slightly and gently patted Mente’s hard carapace.

He had been away for over a month, and during this time, Mente had managed the castle.

It seemed Mente managed very well, as there were always many Troops patrolling Li Feng’s territory, which allowed them to discover Li Feng immediately.

And Li Feng had not instructed Mente on any of this; it was clearly something Mente had figured out on his own.

Upon hearing this, Mente was flattered, continuously emitting low growls.

The general meaning was: No, no, it’s not hard to serve the Lord.

“How are the people imprisoned in the dungeon doing now?” Li Feng asked.

Mente quickly responded, stating that according to Li Feng’s instructions, Human Priests were taking care of them at all times, and all of them were doing well.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, two figures emerged from Li Feng’s body.

They were Waterman Bengka and Fireman Laka, who were always attached to Li Feng’s body.

Previously, at the Soaring Dragon Headquarters, it was inconvenient for them to show their faces.

Now that they had returned to Li Feng’s territory and there were no outsiders around, they no longer hid.

“Hahaha, I haven’t been out in a long time, I smell freedom,” Bangka immediately burst into laughter as he appeared.

Sensing the unfamiliar aura, a large number of Troops immediately gathered again.

However, they were all reprimanded and sent away by Chief Steward Mente.

As an intelligent creature, Mente noticed that Li Feng was not surprised by the appearance of the two water and fire sprites, clearly knowing of their existence long ago.

“Let’s go, we’ll go to the dungeon to see those geniuses,” Li Feng instructed.

Upon hearing this, Mente immediately led the way, guiding Li Feng and the two others slowly towards the second floor of the castle.

On the way, Li Feng curiously asked, “Bangka, you told me to keep those genius Lords before, saying they could expand my territory. What’s that about?”

At this moment, Bangka was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, too busy to answer Li Feng.

Seeing this, Laka spoke up to explain, “After becoming a demigod, one can defeat other demigods and forcibly make them their subordinate gods, merging their divine kingdom to expand their own divine kingdom’s area.”

Li Feng nodded; after he transmigrated, he particularly enjoyed reading miscellaneous books, and he had once seen this information in one of them.

But at the same time, he was a little puzzled.

He and the Lords of the Taiyi Alliance were all mortals, what was the use of Laka telling him this?

“The universe is infinitely vast, and various geniuses will always be born. There was once a genius who researched a secret art that allowed one to forcibly merge others’ territories at the mortal stage, increasing their own territory’s area,” Laka continued.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng’s eyes lit up.

There was actually such a secret art.

At the same time, his heart stirred; if he could merge enough territories, how terrifying would his divine kingdom be when he became a god?

Gods were not mortals; they had already detached from the Endless Continent.

The Troops they summoned later could no longer be placed on the Endless Continent, only within their own divine kingdom.

The larger the divine kingdom, the more Troops it could naturally accommodate, and the more powerful it would be.

Thinking of this, Li Feng couldn’t help but feel excited.

“Let me guess, were you just thinking about merging as many territories as possible to make your territory unimaginably vast, so that your divine kingdom’s area will also be terrifyingly immense after becoming a god, right?”

Just then, Bangka suddenly flew in front of Li Feng and smiled eerily.

“Yes.” This was nothing to be ashamed of, so Li Feng openly nodded and admitted it.

“Many people have this idea, but unfortunately, it’s not realistic. Becoming a god, with your territory detaching from the Endless Continent and transforming into a divine kingdom, is like going against the Endless Continent,” Bangka shook his head.

Seeing Li Feng’s puzzled expression, he explained, “Think of the Endless Continent as a person. When you become a god and your territory turns into a divine kingdom, it’s like pulling out one of its hairs. The Endless Continent can tolerate one, two, or even a few hairs, but if you try to pull out all its hair, hehe…”

Bangka didn’t say any more.

But Li Feng wasn’t a fool; he already understood Bangka’s meaning.

“Historically, many mortal Lords merged too many territories, which led to their territory being unable to transform into a divine kingdom even after enduring the Divine Fire Tribulation.”

“Ultimately, they could only drift alone in the starry sky, becoming lonely spirits, and because they had no divine kingdom, they could never progress even a tiny bit throughout their lives.”

Laka added, using the examples of predecessors to warn Li Feng.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng could only regretfully abandon his previous idea.

During their conversation, the group arrived at the underground floor of the castle, which was where the dungeon was located.

“Li Feng, you finally appeared! Hurry up and release me, otherwise the Taiyi Alliance will definitely not let you off!”

Seeing Li Feng appear, a Taiyi Alliance Lord immediately roared.

They were all 16-year-old youngsters, an age of liveliness, activity, and curiosity about the world.

Suddenly being imprisoned in a dungeon for a whole month, trapped in cramped and narrow cells, their mental state had already collapsed.

“Li Feng, release me, I can give you money.”

“Li Feng, I’m willing to sleep with you for one night, please release me.”

“Damn Dragon Country pig, when I get out, I will definitely not let you off, definitely not!”

“…”

Li Feng ignored the pleas, roars, and threats in his ears.

He walked step by step to one of the cells, where a thin, pale face greeted his eyes.

It was none other than Gerard, who was known as the leader of this generation of the Taiyi Alliance… (Fourth update, well, I’m a soft-hearted person, adding two chapters for your rewards.)
