78: The heritage of Dragon Kingdom

In the eyes of some powerful Lords, massive resources and top-tier Troops are far less valuable than the recruitment qualifications for an Epic-tier Tavern.

Heroes are far more precious than Troops!

Especially Epic-tier Heroes, who can not only boost the combat power of their subordinate Troops but, once truly grown, can annihilate large numbers of Twelfth-tier Troops with a mere wave of their hand.

High-quality Heroes are not only excellent commanders but also formidable combatants!

Just as Wells said, this condition would tempt even Overlords.

Every Overlord has a Tavern.

But not every Overlord possesses an Epic-tier Tavern.

However, what the world considers the most valuable condition was, in Li Feng's eyes, the least worth mentioning.

Massive resources and top-tier Troops, or even the entire national power of some smaller countries, held more appeal to him.

Recruitment qualifications for an Epic-tier Tavern?

Can recruit Heroes at any time, no appointment needed?

No middleman earning a price difference?

Sorry, Li Feng truly wasn't interested.

He possessed a Godly-tier Tavern.

The conditions Wells promised, he already had himself.

Wells's expression changed, and he persisted, "Child, please consider it carefully again? As your Dragon Kingdom saying goes, miss this village, and you won't find this shop again."

Count Caugh interjected at this point, "Child, the conditions Mr. Wells mentioned, our The Empire of the Setting Sun can also provide. And I must tell you something: the Dragon Kingdom's scale is too vast, and the number of top-tier Lords is too many. While resources seem abundant on the surface, the freely disposable resources are definitely not as much as in our The Empire of the Setting Sun."

Just then, a figure as burly as a bear also nodded, saying, "Indeed, Count Caugh's words are what I wanted to say as well. Our Bear Country has far more disposable resources than the Dragon Kingdom."

For a time, representatives from a group of smaller countries also spoke up.

Their conditions were naturally not as generous as the great nations, but they thumped their chests, promising to give Li Feng the greatest possible assistance.

However, Li Feng still shook his head.

"I appreciate the good intentions of all you esteemed sirs, but I'm used to being idle and accustomed to this land. I don't want to move."

Rejected again!

The representatives of the various nations looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were a bit confused, not understanding why Li Feng was so decisive.

If Fang Qiong had spoken up, offering conditions comparable to or even better than theirs, it wouldn't be surprising.

But from beginning to end, Fang Qiong had not spoken, nor had he offered any conditions or promises.

It was as if Li Feng was determined to reject them.

It seemed his statement about wanting to develop on his own wasn't a polite refusal but the truth.

"Child, I'll give you one more chance. Are you truly not considering joining my Free Federation?"

Wells spoke again.

This time, his tone no longer held its previous warmth.

His words were cold, subtly carrying a threat.

The other representatives were the same, their gazes cold as they looked at Li Feng, with even killing intent permeating the air.

If he cannot be used by us, then he must be destroyed.

If he were just an ordinary Overlord, they might not care.

But looking at Li Feng's final score, he had a very high probability of becoming a Godly Lord in the future.

The Dragon Kingdom has been powerful from ancient times until now, and the number of Godly Lords is also the highest, constantly suppressing other countries to the point of breathlessness.

Now, there truly cannot be any more.

Just then, a face appeared in the sky.

It was the face of a young man, with golden hair and blue eyes, exuding authority without anger.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately overshadowed the sky; even the clouds dared not obscure his face, scattering one after another.

Looking at that person, everyone trembled.

Even the immensely powerful Fang Qiong was now oppressed to the point of difficulty breathing.

He was indeed very strong; without a Godly Lord appearing, he was the strongest person.

But now, a Godly Lord had appeared.

"Lord Adams!"

Wells looked at Adams and immediately bowed in salute.

"Hmm, a good seedling. Let me observe him up close."

As he spoke, a golden light descended from the sky, intending to envelop Li Feng.

Li Feng calmly watched the sky, not the least bit flustered.

Since he dared to refuse, he naturally had confidence.

Where did that confidence come from?

Naturally, it came from the land beneath his feet.

"Adams, you've crossed the line."

An aged voice rang out, and five-colored lightning appeared, easily shattering the golden light.

"You dog, this is the Dragon Kingdom. Your dog's paw has stretched a bit too far."

Another young voice rang out.

The next moment, a silver divine dragon soared into the sky, baring its fangs and claws as it charged towards Adams.

Boom!

A massive explosion sounded, and the sky, like a mirror, showed thick cracks.

Then, with a "bang," it completely shattered.

It transformed into a pitch-black abyss, seemingly intending to devour the entire Earth.

Just then, a gentle breeze swept through.

The fragments vanished, and the void healed as before.

"Ling, Xin, you two attacked me as soon as you appeared. Are you trying to start a war with my Free Federation?"

Adams's expression was calm as he slowly spoke.

His gaze pierced through the void, locking onto two figures hidden in the starry sky.

Godly Lords are too powerful; even if they restrain all their strength, it is an unbearable weight for Earth.

Therefore, once they break through to Godly Lord, they will be rejected by Earth.

Their true bodies can only appear in the starry sky and can no longer return to Earth.

Those who usually walk on Earth are merely their avatars.

"Who gave you the audacity to come to my Dragon Kingdom and snatch someone?"

The middle-aged man called Xin did not answer but retorted, the massive silver divine dragon transforming into a long spear in his hand.

Adams's expression was cold; it was just two Godly Lords, and their country had them too.

Indeed, soon after, pairs of eyes cast down from the starry sky—they were Godly Lords.

They were male and female, old and young.

At this moment, each exuded a powerful pressure, silent and unmoving.

Facing the Dragon Kingdom, most countries were extremely vigilant.

This country had too many powerful individuals, and too many Godly Lords.

Currently, the world was still in balance.

But once the Dragon Kingdom gained one or two more Godly Lords, the balance could very likely be broken.

Although, for them, the journey should be on the Endless Continent.

There were more unknowns and more enemies there.

But currently, external pressure was not significant, so they were also very concerned about internal balance.

"Ling, Xin, we don't need to fight. Once a battle between Godly Lords begins, it will be world-shattering. You only need to hand over this young man, and a catastrophe can be avoided, wouldn't you agree?"

With more Godly Lords behind him, Adams's confidence grew.

Rumble!

A majestic Great Wall traversed the starry sky, segmenting space and blocking time.

A person appeared on top of the Great Wall, tiny yet causing the Western gods to show grave expressions.

"Then let's fight! We don't accept any threats!"

A majestic figure appeared, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a huge 'Ming' character embroidered on it.

"Haha, how can such a grand occasion be without me, the Grand General of the Heavenly Strategy?"

"My grandson says I'm the First Baturu, but I haven't made a move in too long. Today, why don't I hunt a Godly Lord for fun?"

One majestic figure after another emerged.

The Dragon Kingdom's claim of being the strongest nation throughout history was not just talk.

These were the Dragon Kingdom's most powerful foundations!
