[Hawk (Australia): Are you OK?]

[Li Fei (Daxia): Wait, bro???]

What exactly is this Spiritual Qi Recovery? Seriously? While they're still struggling to climb through the Iron Age and unlock various technologies...

Xu Xuan has stopped being human; is he just not on the same track as everyone else anymore?

The alliances formed by these lords have members ranging from a few hundred to several thousand or even tens of thousands.

With tens of thousands of people in an alliance contributing technology to each other, their advancement speed is indeed faster than Xu Xuan alone.

But Xu Xuan just overtook them on a curve? Huh? He went straight to unlocking spell technology?

Technology can be shared, but there's no way to share these spirit mines.

A Spirit Gathering Array can only cover one territory, with a maximum range of 50 kilometers; there's no way to share Spiritual Qi with others unless their territories are connected.

The foreign lords haven't even seen a spirit mine, yet Xu Xuan has already built a Spirit Gathering Array, leaving them completely bewildered.

Actually, you can't blame them; even Xu Xuan himself didn't know how to find spirit mines. It was those Orcs who helped him dig them up.

According to Guda, Orc Shamans can locate nearby spirit mines through rituals.

The world where these Orc lords come from was originally a magic world, so they are well-acquainted with this.

But the human race, especially those from Earth, knows nothing about magic or Spiritual Qi.

Logically, humans should lead in the technological era, while the Orcs should lead in the magic/psionic era.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next step would be humans using muskets and cannons against the Orcs' Beast Blood Art and Shamanic Sorcery.

Instead...

Xu Xuan happened upon this spirit mine by chance; he had unintentionally sent Nvba to scout and picked up such a treasure.

So when the lords across the globe heard that Xu Xuan had entered the era of Spiritual Qi Recovery, everyone was dumbfounded.

The chat channel was filled with comments like the following.

[Huh? How do you unlock this thing?]

[Spiritual Qi Recovery? How do you trigger the unlock condition? The system didn't tell us.]

[Holy crap? What the hell is a "surprise"? Who can explain what the hell a "Spiritual Qi Recovery era" is?]

[While we're still playing with bronze tools, he's already playing in the psionic era? Screw this, can I choose to go back to Earth?]

Amidst the desperate wails of the lords, Xu Xuan waved his hand, sweeping the chat channels away from his sight.

He wanted to see what new rewards the system had sent him this time.

[Congratulations on entering the early stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery, ahead of both humans and Orcs on the Lord Continent. You have received the following rewards.]

[Reward: shang and zhou dynasties divine general card x1]

[Reward: Battle Qi Legion Card: Can transform 1,000 ordinary citizens into Formation-Breaking Warriors who can skillfully utilize Battle Qi.]

[Reward: Psionic Workshop, New Craft: Spiritual Qi Cannon.]

Entering a new era always brings good treasures.

In this battle, the divine generals had fully proven their worth. Notably, divine generals don't need to level up; they unlock abilities as the era progresses, serving as the peak combat power of that era.

No reward can compare to a divine general card.

With the divine general card in hand, Xu Xuan used it without hesitation.

The multicolored card dissipated in his hand, turning into a beam of light that shot into the clouds.

He wondered what kind of divine figure would be summoned this time. As he watched the distance expectantly, he heard thunder rumbling from the distant dark clouds!

Accompanied by a clap of thunder, a gale suddenly blew. A figure burst through the dark clouds, flapping a pair of wings and landing before Xu Xuan at extreme speed, kneeling on one knee.

"Lei Zhenzi, reporting for duty!"

The moment this lord landed, he scared quite a few citizens on the island half to death.

After all, his appearance was truly extraordinary; one might mistake him for a member of an alien race.

Lei Zhenzi's face was indigo, his hair like cinnabar, his eyes bulging, and his fangs protruding—a single glance was enough to strike fear into anyone's heart.

The mortals nearby breathed a secret sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this guy was on their side; if he were an enemy, it would be too terrifying.

After all, just this... a height of two zhang was enough to scare most people witless.

Xu Xuan previously had no concept of "two zhang." In ancient times, "one zhang" or "two zhang" tall were just words recorded in books.

But when he saw Lei Zhenzi stand up, that height...

Two zhang—so it's that tall? 6.6 meters! That's almost the height of a two-story building. When such a giant god stood before Xu Xuan and spread the wings on his back, it was even more intimidatingly massive.

The visual impact was immense. If Lei Zhenzi appeared on the battlefield, even the bravest Orc would not dare to meet his gaze.

Looking at Lei Zhenzi, Xu Xuan was so shocked he remained silent for a long time.

It was a good thing this was his divine general. If he had been recruited by another lord, the morale of ordinary soldiers would collapse instantly facing such a behemoth on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Lei Zhenzi had a very honest and simple personality. He lowered his head and said, "My King, is my appearance... a bit frightening?"

He felt quite self-conscious; after all, from the way people around him looked at him, Lei Zhenzi knew he was indeed different from ordinary people, no different from a freak.

To his surprise, Xu Xuan burst into hearty laughter and patted Lei Zhenzi's hand. "This is perfect! This is what true masculinity looks like. Scaring the enemies' wits out of them on the battlefield—having a divine general like you, I couldn't be happier."

Faced with Xu Xuan's praise, Lei Zhenzi laughed sheepishly. "Really, My King? I was worried I'd scare people when I arrived. Ah, now that you've said that, I'm relieved."

While Xu Xuan was still sizing up this newly joined divine general, the system's voice rang out from the sky again.

[Orc Windchaser has successfully constructed an orc totem, becoming the first Orc lord to enter the early stage of Spiritual Qi Recovery!]

The sudden announcement stunned everyone around.

[Vassal Chat Group]

[Jung Jae-soo: What's going on? Where did the Orcs move a spirit mine from!?]

[Kim Hyung-tae: They've entered the Spiritual Qi Recovery era too. Can we "expendable troops" still hold them back?]

[Takeshita Asuka: There's a blue light in the distance. Did the Orcs dig up a second spirit mine?]

[Yamamoto Chizuru: I saw it from the island. It looks like the Orcs have opened a second mine! They've dug up another spirit mine!]

At this moment, the vassals at the foot of the mountain were in a state of chaos.

Only Xu Xuan remained calm, looking toward the place where the blue light soared into the sky.

The location of the orc totem was now exposed to Xu Xuan.

"So what if they've entered the Spiritual Qi Recovery era? Do they have divine generals?"

Saying this, Xu Xuan curled his lips. "Lei Zhenzi, Nezha! Go and tear down their orc totem for me!"
