Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 865

Chapter 865 – Not Short On Money

This was a big victory. They had finally destroyed the Taurus Divines. The three clans had already gained their freedom. From this point on, nobody would ride on their heads and command them.

However, this was also a hard victory. The losses on the three clans wasn't small. Because of this, even if they had won, the faces of the Thunder Clan and the others weren't smiling. At the same time, they also knew that a more brutal fight was waiting for them later on.

The group stood quietly as Zhao Hai gazed at the setting sun on the horizon. He was appreciating the sunset. Nobody talked for some time.

Moments later, Zhao Hai said, "i didn't think the fight would be this bloody. The losses on your clans have been quite serious. You need to take a rest and regain your strength. However, I don't expect the Divines to give us some time. I believe that soon, the armies from the other continents would arrive." Upon hearing this, the expressions of those present became heavier. They knew that what Zhao Hai said was right. It had already been a month after the Taurus Divines had sent for reinforcement. Although they were yet to arrive, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time. The Taurus Divines just underestimated Zhao Hai's speed, thus explaining why they had yet to return.

However, once they do come back, there would be an army behind them. At that time, the situation would be more severe.

The Thunder Clan Patriarch sighed and said, "I still underestimated the strength of the Divines. I thought that their blunder in the Ark Continent would affect their strength. The war was too bloody. Our victory is too tragic."

The others nodded. Although the Thunder Clan had the least losses in the battle, their population wasn't a lot to begin with. Once one looked at the impact of the casualties, the Thunder Clan had suffered the most.

Zhao Hai sighed and said, "Does anybody have a plan? The Taurus Divines are now gone, but the other Divines will surely come. I can handle ultimate weapons, but I'm not sure about the rest of you. Our future casualties might be bigger than it is now." The Patriarchs held heavy expressions. They did defeat the Taurus Divines, but this only gave them even more powerful enemies. If they don't handle this well, then they would be in danger of being destroyed.

It was at this time that Wolf Tribe Bingya suddenly said, "Mister, I have an idea. But I don't know if it would work." Zhao Hai turned to Bingya and said, "Oh? Then please tell us."

Bingya looked at the group, everyone's focus was already on him, then he said, "Mister, there are other clans who had been enslaved by the Divine Race. We have connections to those people and we're quite certain that they're also not satisfied with being ruled by the Divine Race. We can spread our victory in the Taurus Continent and maybe it would incite other people to rebel. This way, the pressure that we will face would be smaller."

Zhao Hai stared for a moment before thinking into it, then he said, "That is a very good idea. But how about the other clans conquered by the Foreign Races? If we use our victory as a tool, then they might also rebel." Bingya forced a smile and said, "Mister doesn't know this, but the Foreign Races don't conquer planes. First, one would need a method to break the plane's barrier. However, this method was bestowed by the Divine Race's Deity. It is a closely kept secret by the Divine Race. Because of this, there is no way for the Foreign Races to conquer another race."

Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned to Bingya and said, "That's good. Then please report our current situation to your family and see if they can contact those races. Things have already happened so there's no need for us to hide. Talk to those races and see if they would want to rise up against the Divines. Then we'll cooperate."

Bingya nodded, it's good as long as Zhao Hai agrees. In fact, the Foreign Races had been thinking of ways to deal with the Divines. The Divine Race's conquests on every smaller plane can indeed increase their strength. However, this also came with hidden dangers.

After the Divines conquer a race, then they would force those people to change their faith. This might not be a big deal back on Earth. But for the people here, their faith was more important than their lives. The Divines changing their faith would naturally plant a seed of hatred deep inside those people's hearts.

The Foreign God-ranks had no such fears since they haven't conquered other races. However, this caused them to be at a disadvantage because the Divines could force those who they conquered to fight for them while the Foreign God-ranks can only fend for themselves.

In order to change this situation, the Foreign God-ranks had found a solution. They secretly sent letters to those who were enslaved by the Divine Race to see how satisfied they were with the Divine Race. If these people hated the Divines, then the Foreign God-ranks wouldn't attack them once the war starts. Naturally, those races chose to agree.

The Foreign God-ranks have been in contact with those races for some time, this explained why Bingya suggested this action. After seeing Zhao Hai's combat prowess and knowing that he was an enemy to the Divines, then there was no reason for him to hide this matter.

Zhao Hai looked at the Thunder Clan Patriarch and the others and said, "The Taurus Divines has been destroyed. Now, the entire Taurus Continent belongs to us. The other Taurus Divines have also been taken away by me. However, I don't want too many troops stationed in the continent. I'll be using the tactic I've used in the Buddha Empire to deal with the incoming Divines."

Fei'er and the others had experienced this firsthand, so they knew what Zhao Hai meant. To be honest, they were still left with no solution with this tactic, causing them to suffer some losses.

The Thunder Clan Patriarch and the others also understood what Zhao Hai meant. Fei'er and the others hand already reported what happened back in the Ark Continent. However, since they hadn't seen it in action, they still held some doubts.

Zhao Hai looked at the group and said, "You guys need a proper rest. How about this, you should withdraw your army and return to your own planes. Leave the Divines to me. Mister Bingya, when you send word to your people, tell them that there are still reinforcements coming to attack us. However, tell them to refrain from acting early. The other Divines are still cautious of us. We'll weaken them first before you make your move. It won't be too late at that time."

Bingya couldn't help but stare, he didn't know where Zhao Hai's self confidence came from. However, he believed that Zhao Hai must have some basis for this. Therefore, he didn't argue and just nodded and said, "Alright, this won't be a problem. But sir, do we continue with our plan to contact the other races conquered by the Divine Race?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Naturally.. Moreover, we need to do it as soon as possible. Tell them that if the Divines tell them to send some troops, then those troops shouldn't try too hard in battles. If they do, then this Zhao Hai would have to be impolite."

Bingya nodded. If this was before, then he might not have believed Zhao Hai's words. But after seeing Zhao Hai's strength, Bingya knew that Zhao Hai wasn't joking. Then Zhao Hai turned to the others and said, "If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me. I can definitely provide you with what you need."

The reason Zhao Hai had such huge confidence was because he wasn't lacking in money at this time. The gold in the Demon Realm were very easy to mine. Currently, the amount of gold in Zhao Hai's hands had exceeded his previous amount. Additionally, the 20 ordinary and 10 magic backgrounds have already been bought. With the addition of the other backgrounds, there was no shortage in supplies.

No matter what the Thunder Clan and the others needed, the processing machine can just make them. This caused Zhao Hai to dare say such things.

The Thunder Clan Patriarch and the others expressed their gratitude to Zhao Hai before taking their leave. The war left their clans with too many things to process. It was impossible for them to be with Zhao Hai for long. On the other hand, Bingya and the others stayed. Naturally, Bingya would have other subordinates process their action while he and the others stay and observe Zhao Hai. This was also for their people, they need to know how strong Zhao Hai was. Therefore, they would have to stay.

After seeing the group leave, Zhao Hai turned to the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King and said, "Your Majesty, Demon Dragon, you've been outside for some time, your people need to see you. I won't be keeping you here for long"

The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King observed Zhao Hai's expression and knew that Zhao Hai had something to tell them and he didn't want Bingya and the others to know. Because of this, the two didn't say anything and just nodded, allowing Zhao Hai to send them back to the Space.

This wasn't the first time that Bingya and the others had seen the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King entering the Space. However, they didn't know that instead of the Demon Realm, the two were sent to the Demon Space. They were thinking that since Zhao Hai had a powerful Space Divergent Ability, he could send the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King back to the Demon Realm at any time.

To be honest, Zhao Hai was thinking of seizing this opportunity to make an offer to the Thunder Clan and the others. He would tell them about the Space and offer them their own background. But after Bingya told them about the other races, Zhao Hai knew that it was impossible. Everyone hated leaving their homeland. And now that there was hope of surviving, it was impossible for the Thunder Clan and the others to enter the Space. Therefore, Zhao Hai stopped himself from making a move.

Chapter 866 – Devil Legion's Mount

After the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King had left, Zhao Hai turned to Bingya and the others and said, "Everyone, I'll be taking my rest as well. I hope you can fulfill the thing I've asked you."

Bingya and the others bowed and said, "Mister can rest assured, we won't disappoint you." Zhao Hai nodded before he turned around and entered the cabin.

After seeing Zhao Hai leave, Bingya and the others also entered their cabins. Their rooms weren't as good as Zhao Hai's but it was still very nice.

Bingya entered his room. However, he didn't immediately close it. Instead, he invited Ryder and Yehta over for some talks.

The Demons were very satisfied with their current state. The Royal Palace had been completed as their first building. At this time, Devil Legion soldiers were standing outside the castle. However, there were large quantities of Demons coming and looking at them.

The Devil Legion soldiers still had their indifferent posture, however, the death qi that was emitting out from them had vanished. Although people could still feel it, they weren't as scared as before. This made the Demons puzzled. The Devil Legion used to be the most powerful unit of the Demon Race, they were essentially symbols of invincibility. What happened? Had the Devil Legion been weakened? This confused a lot of Demons.

The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King were also quite surprised after seeing these 100 thousand Devil Legion soldiers. They might look like ordinary Demons now, but the two of them understood that these Devil Legion soldiers had become more formidable than before.

In the past, having the Devil Legion felt like holding a double-edged sword. Anyone who saw them would immediately know that they were dangerous.

Now, although they weren't as terrifying as before, the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King knew that these Devil Legion soldiers were at their most fearsome state, they had become sheathed blades. Everyone knew that a concealed weapon was more dangerous than an unsheathed sword. Hidden dangers were more scary in the battlefield.

At this moment, Zhao Hai entered the Space. After seeing Zhao Hai arrive, the Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King immediately went to meet him. After the three exchanged greetings, Zhao Hai looked at the Devil Legion soldiers and nodded, "Good, good. They look much better now. Right, it seems like it's time to give them a mount."

The Devil Legion was still primarily an infantry unit. In the past, because of necessity, they were given mounts by Zhao Hai. However, those mounts weren't a match for them. But this time was different. Now, Zhao Hai managed to deal with the Taurus Continent while the Space had been upgraded by a few levels. At the same time, God-ranked magic beasts were beginning to be produced. A lot of these magic beasts can be used as mounts. The ones Zhao Hai prepared for the Devil Legion was actually being bred in the hell background.

Magic beasts that grew on other places might be strong, however, they were extremely wild and was hard to control. Giving such magic beasts to the Devil Legion would surely hinder their performance. Therefore, Zhao Hai specifically bred a lot of magic beasts in the hell background for the Devil Legion to use.

These magic beasts lived inside the hell background while the Devil Legion trained there. The purpose of this wasn't only to train the Devil Legion. It was also to train the magic beasts. Once Zhao Hai equipped the Devil Legion with those magic beasts, their overall might would become stronger.

As for their wild nature, Zhao Hai wasn't afraid at all. The magic beasts weren't as intelligent as the Devil Legion. Zhao Hai can even order the magic beasts to kill themselves, much less having them be mounts for the Demons.

The Great Demon King wasn't aware of any of these. He looked at Zhao Hai blankly before he said, "Can Mister find a suitable magic beast for them?" Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That's not a problem." Then he released 100 thousand magic beasts. These magic beasts were black and were in the shape of horses. These horses had horns on their heads, but they had no hair, instead, they had thick leather armors. Their four hooves were on fire, the same was true for their tails, the tails looked like flaming whips as the horses moved.

These magic beasts were something that was produced by the Space, they're called Nightmares. One shouldn't underestimate them for being horses, they're very ferocious beasts. Moreover, they eat meat and were essentially fire-type demons. With their God-rank strength, they were very frightening to behold.

Nightmares were also present in the Demon Realm. However, they weren't so strong, at most they would reach 9th rank. These Nightmares had hairs on their bodies and didn't look like fire-element beasts. At most, they had red hair, red tails and red hooves. Nightmares like what Zhao Hai released were unseen before.

Zhao Hai turned his head towards the Devil Legion and said, "Take them, they'll be your mounts." The Devil Legion soldiers nodded before they went and took a Nightmare for themselves.

However, matching weapons for the Devil Legion had yet to be found. At this time, they were currently equipped with full body armor, a spear, a sword, and some javelins.

These things were still quite good for the Devil Legion, however, Zhao Hai wasn't satisfied. It's a pity that he can't make other weapons right now, they would need to wait for an opportunity later on.

After the Devil Legion took their Nightmares, Zhao Hai turned to the Great Demon King and said, "Your Majesty, you can arrange another batch of people to enter the Hell Space. As for the defenses in the spatial rift, let my undead take care of it. Have the rest of the Devil Legion take a rest inside the Space."

The Great Demon King nodded as he left to take care of it. Demon Dragon remained by Zhao Hai as he said, "Mister, did the matter with Bingya and the others go bad? Or should we just leave them alone."

Zhao Hai shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry much about it. Besides, we still have another battle to fight. In the past month, the underworld's dark mist had already drifted towards the Aksu Empire. Moreover, in one month, the people from the Atlanta Plane will bring their magic armors to the Ark Continent. Hehe, I want to see their expressions once they see the state of the Ark Continent."

When he heard this, the Demon Dragon King couldn't help but smile. The people from the Atlanta Plane wanted to attack the Ark Continent for resources and manpower. However, the Ark Continent has been completely turned to ruins. The various minerals of the continent had already been taken by Zhao Hai. Resources that remained were practically useless. At the same time, the population of the Ark Continent was gone. The people from the Atlanta Plane would surely lose greatly in this expedition.

Zhao Hai turned his head to Demon Dragon and said, "I don't want to use the Devil Legion at the moment. Once we go to the immortal cultivation realm, that is where they will show their talent. My undead are simply more troublesome to upgrade. But first, we need to have the Devil Legion ascend to God-rank. This way, we would have some sort of foundation when we ascend."

The Demon Dragon King nodded, "Mister can rest assured, the Demons will not forget the humiliation brought to us by Lu Wei. Nor will we forget Mister's great gift to us. I will also let Mister know that there are a lot of Demons who have your statue inside their homes."

Zhao Hai stared, he didn't think something like this would happen. He looked puzzled at Demon Dragon as he asked, "When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of this? Did you force them?"

Demon Dragon smiled faintly and said, "We didn't force them. They did it themselves to thank Mister. There's no need for you to worry about it. And we also can't force them to change their faith."

Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "It's good as long they aren't forced. If they treat me as a god, then that's fine. Let's just have this matter develop on its own."

Faith Power would be useful for Zhao Hai, but he didn't know how much nor was he able to feel it. Because of this, he wasn't worried about it at this time. He didn't have any intentions to force those who came to his Space. They were free to worship who they want.

Demon Dragon looked at Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but admire the young man. The Demons were aware of Faith Power, they were even planning to use it as a bargaining chip to allow them into the Space. However, they didn't think that Zhao Hai wouldn't open this topic. He just did what he said and invited all of them into the Space. He didn't intervene with the Demons either. This made the Demon Dragon King admire him.

Chapter 867 – Biggest Worry

After he came back out, Zhao Hai looked at the situation around the Thunder Clan and the others. Fortunately, nothing worth noting happened, everything was normal.

The fight this time was very hard. Although they managed to conquer Divine Will City, their ratio of casualties had reached about one to one. It can be said that if it wasn't for Zhao Hai's undead, the losses would have been much greater.

Although the three clans were prepared to have losses, the scale of their casualties was not what they expected. This wasn't to say that Zhao Hai didn't give an effort. In fact, if Zhao Hai wasn't there, the battle would've dragged on for longer, causing more losses. It was because they had underestimated the might of the Divines who were fighting to the death.

Now, the three clans had their vitality injured. It would take some time before they recuperate their losses. It's not just weeks or months, it might take years of perhaps decades.

What they lost this time was their elites. Elites of any race weren't easily trained. Every soldier would need a long time and arduous training before becoming an elite. At the same time, the resources needed to nurture an elite was a lot. Armors, mounts, food, uniforms, everything required a lot of resources.

Behind every proud achievement of an elite unit was a mountain of resources invested. The three clans have been suppressed by the Divines for many years. Every year, they would pay the Divines a ton of tax, this caused their reserves to be small. Although the Divines were defeated, it was almost impossible for the three clans to train an elite unit in a short time, their foundation had been stretched thin.

Zhao Hai observed the three clans, they had returned to their own planes to relay the news to their people. Then they proceeded to construct defensive lines on their spatial cracks. This would allow them to defend their plane against attacks while only using a small amount of manpower.

Zhao Hai didn't care about the three clan's actions. Instead, he was actually happy. In the past, when the three clans were moving together with him, he felt like his feet were being dragged. His special tactics simply couldn't be used. Now that they left, Zhao Hai was able to breath. He was like someone who had let go of a heavy load.

Although Zhao Hai still had Bingya and the others inside the ship, their small number would have no influence on Zhao Hai's actions.

The Taurus Continent was much bigger than the Ark Continent. In the past, Zhao Hai only had the Buddha Empire to deal with the Demons and the Divine Race. And now that he had the large Taurus Continent for himself, what else could he be afraid of? He can use the full might of the Space to make the Divine Race suffer here.

If Zhao Hai was confident in himself, then he was more confident in the Space. The incoming reinforcements might come from one continent, or several, but one thing was for sure; there will certainly be ultimate weapons coming over. Although ultimate weapons were strong, the Divines couldn't use it lightly. It was just the same as the old man, he can use it but not for very long, otherwise his body will start breaking down.

On the other hand, Zhao Hai wasn't weak. Currently, he has 40 Domain weapons, the Space's transportation ability, and various other weapons. As long as he utilized them properly, the Divines would surely suffer.

After thinking about this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but think about the Divine Realm. However, it's a pity that the Space's map only showed the Taurus Continent. At this point, he had no way of monitoring the Divine Race.

Besides this, Zhao Hai was also thinking about the Underworld and the Atlanta Plane. The underworld's advancement was still going on while the Atlanta Plane was about to finish its preparations. As long as the people from the Atlanta Plane comes to the Ark Continent, another factor would be added to the current situation.

He wasn't worried about any of these since he had the ample strength. Even if he dealt with multiple battles, he could still manage. The matter that Zhao Hai was most worried about was the laws rejecting him!

Zhao Hai can clearly feel that the repelling force on him was getting stronger, his time left was not much. He had never felt such a strong repelling force before. Even before the Divines had changed the laws of the Ark Continent, he hadn't felt such a repelling force even if he was God-rank. However, he felt it here.

Although this made Zhao Hai puzzled, he can confirm that he may ascend soon. If he can't solve everything when the time comes, then the Thunder Clan and the others would surely suffer under the Divine Race.

But as for the matter of how to solve everything, Zhao Hai was still clueless. Both Atlanta Plane and the Underworld couldn't be easily dealt with. Even the Divines were hard to take care of. If the other Divines acted like the Taurus Divines, then the war would take a very long time. At that point, Zhao Hai was not sure if he would still be in this plane.

Zhao Hai also tried to see if the repulsion would disappear once the Hell King's ship was stored in the Space. But the result left Zhao Hai disappointed. The repelling force was still there. Zhao Hai understood that this was because his strength had reached the threshold for ascension and not because of the Hell King's ship.

However, Zhao Hai had found a temporary solution. When he hid inside the Space, the repelling force would get reduced. This was good news since it would extend his time. But in this case, his cultivation speed would be increased because of the benefits of the Space. Inside the Space, the Dao Lotus would have more energy to absorb. Zhao Hai was sure that if he stays in the Space for too long, then he would definitely ascend once he went out.

The Space can't do everything, therefore Zhao Hai cannot stay here forever. It can be said that Zhao Hai was currently in a dilemma.

In order to reduce his cultivation speed, Zhao Hai had to reduce his time inside the Space. Since this was the case, Zhao Hai decided to deal with the minerals present in the Divine Realm in the meantime. He immediately sent large numbers of undead and iron armor beasts to mine the minerals in the Taurus Continent and had them sent to the Space.

Bingya and the others were confused regarding Zhao Hai's actions. However, they didn't ask about it. In the eyes of Bingya and the others, Zhao Hai had already seized the Taurus Continent, so why would he frantically mine all the minerals here? As long as he manages to repel the Divine Race, he can mine it whenever he wants.

Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't care to explain it to them. Every day, the undead scoured the continent for resources to mine. As long as something was present there, the undead proceeded to collect it.

There were plenty of high level Taurus Divine undead inside the Space. And these people were quite familiar with the  continent. Because of this, Zhao Hai wasn't too worried about finding places to mine.

While he was mining, Zhao Hai also paid attention to the situation in the Divine Realm. Time passed quickly and before long a month had passed.

Now, the three clans had completed their defensive lines. And soon, the people of the Atlanta Plane would invade the Ark Continent. Information had also been sent by the foreign races. The allied armies of the Capricorn Continent, Scorpio Continent, Cancer Continent, Gemini Continent, and Leo Continent had left their continents and had proceeded to head towards the Taurus Continent.

When he heard this information, Zhao Hai didn't worry. He was actually waiting for these people to arrive. To be honest, their departure was slower than Zhao Hai wanted it to be. Zhao Hai was now facing a two-way war. Once the Atlanta Plane invades the Ark Continent, it would be impossible for them to miss the spatial crack. After all, it was quite obvious.

As long as the Atlanta Plane's people notice the spatial crack, they will certainly send people to investigate. When the times comes, Zhao Hai might face a battle on two sides.

Although Zhao Hai didn't want to see this situation, he had no choice but to accept it. With the arrival of both the Divines and the Atlanta Plane, it would be impossible for Zhao Hai to only fight one battle.

Fortunately, Zhao Hai had expected this kind of situation, so he wasn't worried about it. The arrival of both parties wasn't a bad thing for him. At most, it would just be mildly troublesome.

Originally, Zhao Hai wanted to divert the Atlanta Plane's people to battle with the Underworld. But with speed of the underworld's advance, it would take quite a long time before they become a problem for the Atlanta Plane. The Atlanta Plane would enter the southern part of the continent, it is for certain that they would meet Zhao Hai and the others first.

Zhao Hai thought and decided to leave the spatial crack's defensive line open, allowing the people of the Atlanta Plane entry to the Divine Realm. He wanted to see how the Atlanta Plane and the Divine Race interact. He wanted to see which of them are more formidable.

Chapter 868 – Gold Ben's Plot

Gold Ben was sat on his bull. His face looked calm but his feelings deep inside was different. He had lost contact with his people one month ago. One can imagine that the situation back home wasn't doing very well.

Upon thinking about this, his chest couldn't help but tighten up as he lowered his head and coughed a couple of times. In the previous battle against Zhao Hai, Gold Ben had been injured forcing him to run away. This caused his body to not be as strong as before. And as he went about to convince the other continents to send reinforcements, his condition worsened. At this time, his vitality was damaged, his face wasn't as rosy as before.

According to the estimate made by the Taurus Patriarch, with Zhao Hai's strength, it would take about three to six months before the Taurus Continent gets captured. However, Gold Ben didn't expect to lose contact with the Taurus Continent not long after he left. This made him restless.

Although he managed to invite five continents, the ultimate weapons only numbered two. With him, there were three ultimate weapons. To be honest, even he wasn't convinced that these three ultimate weapons could defeat Zhao Hai. The reason why he decided to head back even if he was uncertain was because; one, he was worried about the the state of the Taurus Continent, two, he knew that it was close to impossible for the others to send him their ultimate weapons, the two ultimate weapons already costed him a lot. Third reason was because he chose to invite these people even if there was no sure way to defeat Zhao Hai. Even if they were defeated by Zhao Hai, this meant that Zhao Hai had just sown a seed of discord between him and the other continents. This would cause the other continents to formally declare war on Zhao Hai.

With these reasons, Gold Ben decided to specifically invite Capricorn, Scorpio, and Cancer Continents. Among other Divines, these people were the most probable to bear a grudge. As long as they fight with Zhao Hai, they wouldn't be able to stop.

Moreover, these people were quite infamous in the Divine Realm. They were extremely militant, which caused them to become hotheaded and ruthless. They bore grudges and would seek revenge over the slightest problem. Most importantly, these people were greedy, even for a Divine. In fact, Gold Ben extremely disliked them.

But because of their character, Gold Ben was able to ask them for help. Gold Ben was good in using their greed and arrogance to draw them into this war.

After thinking about this, Gold Ben couldn't help but look behind and gaze at the reinforcing army. Altogether, the five continents sent 100 million elite troops, there were also another 100 million troops from other races that were recruited. This resulted in an army numbering about 200 million troops. Additionally, they also had about 200 Domain Weapons as well as two ultimate weapons. It can be said that the five continents attached great vigilance towards Zhao Hai.

However, this didn't mean that Gold Ben had his confidence in this army. He had seen Zhao Hai's methods, he knew that if Zhao Hai wanted to attack a Divine Race city, then nobody would be able to stop him.

The military strength of the Taurus Continent wasn't something to scoff at. But when these troops met Zhao Hai, they were all defeated. Although the Taurus already lost some troops and had the three clans rebel, for Gold Ben, this wasn't the main reason. The main reason for this was because Zhao Hai was just too strong.

Although he managed to invite a 200 million strong army, he actually didn't have the authority to command it. He had no way of directing their actions. These people still didn't trust each other, so how could they show their full might? This caused Gold Ben's confidence to go down.

However, he didn't have any other choice but to believe in these people. He just hoped that the Taurus Divines were still in control. Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome.

The Taurus Continent began to show in the horizon. Upon seeing this, Gold Ben couldn't help but get moved. But this agitation caused him to heavily cough once again. The Divines on his side couldn't help but feel anxious.

As they slowly got closer and closer to the Taurus Continent, the more the Divines got anxious. All of them were paying close attention to their surroundings, afraid that they might run into Zhao Hai's army.

Gold Ben didn't hide any information about Zhao Hai to the five armies. He told them that Zhao Hai was very strong. After all, Zhao Hai was able to defeat him. Because of this, the five armies maintained their vigilance as they went on.

Before long, they arrived at the Taurus Continent's coastline. Contrary to their expectation, they actually didn't receive an attack. Their advance went smoothly. However, the Divines were soon able to discover an issue. They were already in the continent, but they were yet to see any Divine Race person. This caused their mood to sink.

Those who've been in the battlefield for a long time can understand what was going on. Before, they were looking down on the Taurus Divines for offering a huge price so that they could help. They thought that the Taurus Divines were too cowardly. But after seeing the state of the continent, they came to know that things weren't as simple as they thought it would be.

The Taurus Continent was populous, and the place where Gold Ben decided to arrive at was in the rear of the Taurus Divines. If Zhao Hai hadn't captured the Taurus Continent, then this place should be teeming with people. But now, they hadn't seen even a single Divine. This caused their heartbeats to rise.

Gold Ben's face was quite ugly. He also had an idea as to what this meant. Perhaps this meant that what he dreaded had already come true. However, he still wanted to try his luck, hoping that he was just mistaken.

In order to find answers as soon as possible, Gold Ben quickened his advance. He knew that a Taurus Divine City wasn't too far away. If there's no problem, then there should still be people in that city.

Those behind also followed suit and sped up. The desolate landscape had given them tremendous pressure. They also wanted answers as soon as possible.

Before long, the city in Gold Ben's memory appeared in sight. But even before they arrived, Gold Ben's expression got worse and worse. This was because he couldn't see the magical shield surrounding the city nor any smoke coming out of the chimneys.

When Gold Ben and his entourage flew over the city, he couldn't bear but despair, "No, this is impossible!!" Then blood spurted out from his mouth as he directly fainted mid-air.

The other Divines beside him immediately went and fetched his falling body. After that, they slowly descended into the city. Their eyes were full of tears, some were choked in sobs.

The city looked normal, the destruction inside wasn't anything serious. However, it was completely deserted. The only thing they could see were bloodstains on the ground. These bloodstains had gone dark, it seems like it had been like this for some time.

All of these implicated that there was a fight. And since there were no Divine in sight, it meant that the Taurus Divines had been defeated.

These remaining Taurus Divines knew that this was their rear. If Zhao Hai managed to attack this city, then the other places had certainly fallen. Perhaps the Taurus Continent had already fallen into Zhao Hai's hand.

The people from the other continents, after seeing the Taurus Divines, immediately understood what happened. They quickly issued an order to stop their armies' advance and then sent people to clean the houses. Upon clearing everything, they proceeded to occupy the deserted city.

Naturally, Gold Ben and his people also lived inside the City. He was currently being treated by the others. After being nourished with healing magic for a long time, Gold Ben slowly opened his eyes.

Upon opening his eyes, Gold Ben saw the people around him. Gold Ben's heart couldn't help but pain. However, he steeled his heart as he slowly sat up. The Divines close to him were still in tears. He looked at them and said, "Don't cry, it has already happened. What is most important right now is to take revenge. Where are the others?"

A Taurus Divine answered, "Supreme Elder, they stopped their advance and had occupied the City Lord's Mansion."

Gold Ben nodded as he took  a deep breath and closed his eyes. After some time, he opened his eyes once more, a new fire was lit inside his pupils. Then his body moved as he proceeded to stand up.

The Divines around him were immediately startled, a person quickly said, "Elder, take a proper rest. We need your healthy body for our revenge. If you fall, then the Taurus Divines will have surely ended."

Gold Ben looked at the man and the others before saying, "We don't have time to rest. Besides, I won't die so soon. Stay here as I discuss matters with the others."

After that, Gold Ben went out. Upon exiting the place, he found out that he was actually in a house right behind the mansion. He immediately found the direction and proceeded to head towards the Great Hall.

The people from the other continents were currently discussing the situation. A lot of the benefits that Gold Ben had promised was made in the assumption that the Taurus Divines were still standing. But now, it seems like the Taurus Divines were exterminated. Naturally, the advantages the Gold Ben promised had become impossible to attain. In this case, they were contemplating if they would want to offend a formidable enemy.

But after discussing for a long time, a decision had yet to be made. The hall had turned strangely quiet, everyone was calculating the pros and cons. They wanted to weigh if fighting this powerful enemy would be good or bad for them. If it was good, then they would think about the benefits. As for the bad, they were thinking about the price that they would pay.

After thinking for some time, a male Capricorn Divine said, "I think we shouldn't participate in this war. The enemy that the Taurus Divines offended is too powerful. It would not be a good idea to offend him. And even if we beat him, our losses would surely be big. Moreover, there isn't much benefit left for us."

Chapter 869 – Divine Race's Huge Problem

"You short-sighted fool!"

A roar came from the hall's door. The people in the room stared. The Capricorn Divine that just spoke wasn't any ordinary person, he was the Capricorn Continent's Supreme Elder, an ultimate weapon expert. It can be said that among those present, he held one of the highest status. Nobody dared to be impolite towards him.

But after they saw who came through the door, they shut up, it was Gold Ben. Gold Ben was also an ultimate weapon expert, him being the Supreme Elder of the Taurus Continent. He and the Capricorn Supreme Elder held equal status. Naturally there was no problem if he said those words.

However, the Capricorn Supreme Elder didn't take take it lightly. He looked straight an Gold Ben and said, "Who do you think you are? You stray dog, why did you come here!"

Gold Ben looked at the Capricorn Supreme Elder and snorted, "Moroga, I'm scolding you for being a short sighted idiot. You decide to retreat after seeing the Taurus Divines being defeated? Where did your courage go? Are you still from the Divine Race? Have you ever thought about it, since Zhao Hai managed to conquer the Taurus Continent, what stops him from going over to your Capricorn Continent? Do you believe that you can deal with him alone? Even if you can defeat him, how much losses will your continent suffer? Think about this first!"

Moroga wanted to argue, but when he listened to Gold Ben, he said nothing. What Gold Ben said was true. Since Zhao Hai can destroy the Taurus Divines, why couldn't he destroy the Capricorn Divines? If Zhao Hai decided to go to the Capricorn Continent, then their days would surely be the worst. After seeing that Moroga kept silent, Gold Ben said, "Zhao Hai isn't someone that a single continent can handle. Moreover, he is a formidable Dark Mage, capable of turning everyone into undead. Most importantly, his undead will keep the strength that they had when they were alive. The more Divines he kills, the more God-rank undead he would acquire. At this point, I'm afraid he already had about 100 million God-rank undead. Even if it hadn't reached 100 million, he should have at least 80 or 90 million. Think about it, 80 million God-rank undead killing their way to your continent. What kind of situation would you be in?"

A man next to Moroga suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were very strange, it was entirely red. Although he only wore ordinary cotton garments, his aura was actually stronger than Gold Ben. This person was the Cancer Continent's Supreme Elder, Jie Yu.

Jie Yu, with his red eyes, scanned the people in the room before saying, "We need to eliminate Zhao Hai. Just like Gold Ben said, if he gets more and more powerful, the Divines will not have any good days ahead. Moreover, since he just had eliminated the Taurus Divines, fighting here won't affect ordinary people. If we wait, then the battle would be on our own homes. Uninvolved people would die."

Jie Yu's status in the hearts of the people was higher compared to Moroga and Gold Ben. This was because he had been a famous expert for many years. In the Divine Race, the amount of people he killed had made him well-known.

After listening to Jie Yu, the group couldn't help but face the matter at hand. Gold Ben also added, "Elder Jie Yu is correct. Now that the Taurus Divines had been eliminated, we don't need to worry about commoners being hurt. If one day Zhao Hai comes to your doorstep, then even if you defeat him, the battle would definitely hurt your people. I believe nobody wants to see this situation. And don't say that there aren't benefits in defeating Zhao Hai. Don't forget, now that the Taurus Divines have been ended, the Taurus Continent is completely empty. Not only the Taurus Continent, there is also the our three vassal planes. Although they had rebelled, as long as we defeat Zhao Hai, subduing them would be an easy matter. Additionally, there is a spatial rift in the Taurus Continent that is connected to the Ark Continent. And inside the Ark Continent is a spatial rift to the Demon Realm. As long as we defeat Zhao Hai, not only would you gain the Taurus Continent, you also obtain the Thunder Plane, Barbarian, Plane, Winged Pegasus Plane, and Demon Realm. Isn't this price enough? Think about what you will gain."

Gold Ben thought that since the Taurus Divines had been eliminated, he might as well use these things to bait these people. This way, they would be more convinced to dealing with Zhao Hai and avenging the Taurus Divines.

Sure enough, when they heard Gold Ben, the people inside the hall couldn't help but turn greedy. Moroga looked at Gold Ben and said "Gold Ben, are you telling the truth? Is there really a spatial rift to the Demon Realm in the Ark Continent? Don't you dare lie to us"

Gold Ben coldly snorted and said, "Why would I use this to deceive you? It's known that Zhao Hai and the Demons had allied to deal with us. You can even see Demons in Zhao Hai's army. Moreover, the Demons being the first to arrive in the Ark Continent is something that every Taurus Divine knows."

Moroga didn't talk for a while, then he said, "Is Zhao Hai really that strong?"

Gold Ben snorted and said, "If he wasn't, then the Taurus Divines shouldn't have lost. The Taurus DIvines didn't even last for two months. When I went to deal with him, I took 20 Domain Weapon experts with me. But when I faced him, he completely destroyed everyone except me. Now you tell me if he is strong or not."

Moroga's face turned ugly. At this time, it was Jie Yu who talked, "Why did you only tell us this right now?"

Gold Ben sneered and said, "If I said it before, will you come? Let me tell you the truth. We had already summoned the Deity twice. We asked him for help in destroying Zhao Hai. However, both attempts failed, which caused Zhao Hai to snatch two artifacts. The reason why Zhao Hai was so powerful was precisely because he has the Deity's artifacts in his hands."

After Gold Ben said this, a distinct sound of gasping can be heard in the room. To be honest, when they heard that Gold Ben had been defeated, they weren't too surprised. In the thirteen clans of the Divine Race, Gold Ben wasn't the strongest, he only ranked at about 7th or 8th strongest, both Moroga and Jie Yu can defeat him. Him being defeated by Zhao Hai only meant that Zhao Hai was stronger than him. And if Zhao Hai was against Jie Yu and Moroga? It was still hard to say.

However, upon hearing that Zhao Hai had defeated the Deity twice and even managing to rob his weapons, the Divines present couldn't help but get startled.

The Deity was very strong. They had long known that the Deity uses his incarnations to fight. Although the incarnation might not be stronger than the Divines, his weapons were very strong.

Once the Deity's incarnation gets destroyed, it was certain that the second one would be stronger. In the Divine Race, nobody can oppose the Deity, even Jie Yu can't defeat him. But Zhao Hai actually managed to do it, acquiring two weapons in the process. This meant that Zhao Hai's strength was beyond their expectations. At this point, he might even be stronger, with him having the Deity's weapons.

Jie Yu was also frowning. As for why Gold Ben only said this now, his intention was very clear. Gold Ben wanted to drag all of them into the water. However, Gold Ben's words gave them no choice, Zhao Hai was that big of a threat. He can threaten the entire Divine Race. They can't do anything else but deal with Zhao Hai.

Nobody made any noise, everybody was frowning. On the other hand, Gold Ben was calm. He scanned the people in the room before he turned to Jie Yu, "Elder Jie Yu, we need to make proper arrangements. First, we should send messages to the other continents. We need at least two more ultimate weapons to be certain in dealing with Zhao Hai. Second, we need to be wary about the vassal races under your control. The Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus showed no signs before, but now they had rebelled. This is a lesson we need to learn from. We need to guarantee that your vassal races have no hidden plans. And third, we need to guard against the Foreign Races. Zhao Hai came from the Ark Continent where the Foreign Races also existed. Upon reaching the Divine Realm, it was almost certain that they contacted the Foreign God-ranks. Once they become aware of Zhao Hai's strength, they would surely enter into an alliance. Don't forget, we have been suppressing the Foreign Race all these years, they certainly won't let this opportunity to retaliate go. If the other elders agree, then I want to propose an alliance of the ten continents. We need to work together in dealing with Zhao Hai. Of course, since the Taurus Continent has been destroyed, we just want our revenge. As long as someone kills Zhao Hai, I will give them my Taurus God Armor."

Upon hearing Gold Ben, Moroga and Jie Yu stared. Then they quickly understood what Gold Ben meant. Gold Ben had nothing left, his family was killed, his body was injured. The only thing he had right now was his Taurus God Armor, nothing else. Therefore, he wants to use his Taurus God Armor as a bargaining chip to help him take his revenge. One couldn’t help but recognize how heavy this was. Almost all of them were tempted.

And there was nothing wrong with the other things that Gold Ben said. The Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus clan had long been vassals of the Taurus Divines. These three clans even participated in the fight against the Foreign Races. Their betrayal meant that other vassal races could also rebel. Additionally, with Zhao Hai being from the Ark Continent, a place that had a branch of the Foreign Races, he would definitely contact the Foreign God-ranks for cooperation upon arriving in the Divine Realm. The hatred between the Foreign Races and the Divine Race wasn't small, it simply cannot be resolved easily. If the Foreign God-ranks didn't use this opportunity, then they would be nothing more than fools.

These three points were enough to unite the ten continents against Zhao Hai. Not to mention Gold Ben narrating it properly as to fit his narrative.

After some hesitation, Jie Yu nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do it according to what Gold Ben said. Moroga, Gold Ben, us three will collectively write the letters to be sent to the other continents. We'll tell them about the situation here in the Taurus Continent, we'll express your opinion as well. As for what we need to do at this time, I don't want to rush an attack. Let's build a base here and prepare to welcome the other armies. What do you think?" Moroga nodded and said, "I agree with Elder Jie Yu. but I think us three won't be enough. How about we let everyone present here sign the letter. This way, it will be more convincing."

Jie Yu nodded and said, "That would be best. While I write the letter, Gold Ben, are you familiar with the surrounding terrain? Go and draw a map, then select a place for us to build our base." Gold Ben nodded and said, "I'll take care of it. But I need to tell you that Zhao Hai has powerful magic cannons and javelins. Moreover, he obtained a ship from the Deity. This ship can ram the city and easily destroy its protective shield, it's not affected by normal attacks either. I also heard about Zhao Hai's actions back in the Ark Continent. He can use harassment tactics with his speedy cavalry to chip at our numbers while hindering us from going forward. I'm afraid Zhao Hai will use this method to deal with us. I want all of you to think about these matters as we establish our base."

Jie Yu nodded, "Among all of us, only your people had fought with Zhao Hai. This matter shall be handed over to you. You need to build a proper base. If we can't quell Zhao Hai here, then he would definitely be a disaster to the Divine Race." Gold Ben nodded and said, "I'll begin immediately." Then he turned around and left.

After Gold Ben left, Moroga turned to Jie Yu and said, "Elder Jie Yu, do you think Gold Ben would really let go of his Taurus God Armor?"

Jie Yu replied, "He will. Gold Ben's injury isn't light. He can't hide it. He also spat blood outside the city. At this point, he is surely using a secret method to delay time. However, it's impossible for this method to last for a long time. Once his injury flares up, he will surely die. Therefore, he can dare to say that he'll give us his Taurus God Armor."

Moroga nodded, then he sighed and said, "This Zhao Hai is really fierce. I didn't expect him to really eliminate the Taurus Divines. No wonder Gold Ben would want to take revenge. If Zhao Hai doesn't get eliminated, he would surely be a huge trouble for the Divine Race."

Jie Yu nodded, then he closed his eyes, nobody knew what he was thinking. After seeing Jie Yu like this, Moroga immediately prepared a pen and paper so that Jie Yu can proceed to write.

Chapter 870 – Axe Island Shipyard

Axe was feeling great recently. His status in the family was now a step higher than before. Axe loved to adventure, which explained why he didn't have the highest position in the family. And with the addition of having minimal contact with the family, Axe's status of being the direct successor wasn't very stable.

But this time, the information that Axe brought was too important of the O'neal family. After Axe came back, the family immediately prepared for their invasion of the Ark Continent.

With this, Axe's status had become more and more stable. When the time comes, nobody could say anything if he were to succeed the family.

Because of this, Axe took care of the Ark Continent's invasion very meticulously. In his mind, conquering the Ark Continent was a very good opportunity for him. As long as his family takes control of the Ark Continent, the position of Patriarch would certainly be his.

Axe was too enthusiastic with the preparations, there were matters he wasn't involved with but he still chose to express his thoughts.

However, the O'Neal Clan's Patriarch was Axe's father. He became quite fond of his son, so when he saw Axe intervening on things he not only let it go, he even supported his son.

In the past, Axe didn't pay much attention to the matters of the family, this worried his father. One could transfer one's power to another person, but things were more complicated than that. If you can't consolidate your power, then you would end up like a puppet in the end.

Axe was heading this direction, which worried his father. Therefore, after seeing Axe's enthusiastic performance, the Patriarch encouraged him to intervene more.

In the Atlanta Plane, especially in the Magic Armor Continent, military operations were done large-scale, causing many things to be prepared.

Like the Divine Race, if they wanted to make an attack, they needed to carry out some preparations. They would need to assemble an army, amass supplies, provide weapons, and a lot more. These needed to be properly taken care of before making a move. If the military wasn't prepared, then they would risk failure.

The thing the Atlanta Plane needed to take of the most were their magic armors. Both the offensive and defensive capabilities of the magic armors are formidable. However, magic armors had a weak point, it was power.

Magic armors weren't like people, especially God-ranks. As long as people had enough food and rest, then they would be able to fight properly.

On the other hand, magic armors needed energy coming from a compressed energy source. The energy inside these sources came from extracting energy somewhere and compressing it.

This energy is the heart of each magic armor. Therefore, the Atlanta Continent  prepared a lot of these things. Otherwise, there would come a time where the magic armors would turn into useless pieces of junk.

It was precisely because of this that the preparation time for the Atlanta Continent was much longer compared to the Divine Race. The Divines would be able to finish their preparations in just one month while the Atlanta Plane would take at least two to three months.

Besides compressed energy, the Atlanta Plane also needed means of transportation before they can proceed to attack.

The magic armors of the Atlanta Plane were just like aircraft, but much more formidable. However, each magic armor can only carry so much energy source inside them. Once their source of power gets used up, then they could no longer fight.

But since the magic armors needed to be used for combat, they couldn't just be allowed to fly by themselves. Because of this, if one wants to transport the magic armors, you would need a bigger vessel.

There were many means of transport in the Atlanta Plane. Some of these transport vehicles work in the sea while some work on land. But regardless of where they operate, one thing was for sure, these transport vehicles were very large.

Since these transportation vehicles were big and there weren't any who can carry a lot of magic armors in one go, they needed to be taken care of as well before the Atlanta Plane can invade the Ark Continent.

In the Atlanta Continent where the spatial rift to the Ark Continent was located, was an island. It was quite a large island with no people in it. This wasn't an issue since it could be regarded as a military base to be used as a jumping point for their invasion of the Ark Continent.

However, the island also presented a problem by itself. If they wanted to leave the island and proceed to the Ark Continent, then they would need a lot of transportation vehicles. There were a lot of transportation vehicles available in the Atlanta Plane, but how to bring them to the Ark Continent was a nuisance that needed to be taken care of.

Whether it be in the Ark Continent or the Atlanta plane, or even on Earth, constructing marine-worthy vehicles was much harder compared to land vehicles.

And this case was especially true for much larger vessels. Therefore, after hearing about the Ark Continent, the O'Neal family immediately constructed a shipyard on that island. Then they concentrated all of their shipbuilders there in order to make the ships.

The O'Neal family had no other way. The spatial crack was in a small mountain, there was simply no way for the family to send a large amount of ships directly to the Ark Continent.

However, for the Atlanta Plane who were constructing magic armors, making said ships only took a short time. In this case, a megaton-class ship can be made in just a month.

And because the O'Neal family was looking at this invasion with importance and had invested almost all manpower and funds into this project, they were able to make four megaton-class ships in two months.

These four huge ships aren't just for transporting magic armors, they were also used to carry land transportation vehicles. These land-based vehicles were also a masterpiece of the Atlanta Plane. Each one can carry 20 magic armors. Moreover, it can go through all kinds of terrain. It also had a thick armor as well as weapons making it capable for combat.

The O'Neal family knew that to conquer the Ark Continent, they would need to rely on these land vehicles. Therefore, along with the ships, they also made a few of these vehicles.

The O'Neal family went all out on this gamble. As long as they conquer the Ark Continent, every investment would be worth it.

Axe was currently on the island with the spatial rift. This island was known to the family as Axe Island. After he came back home, it was named after him to commemorate his achievement. Axe took a liking to this island. He stayed on it as he supervised the shipbuilding efforts.

Today, it wasn't only Axe who was present. His father, the O'Neal family Patriarch was also here along with other important figures of the family.

The reason they came to Axe Island was because the fourth ship was finally able to be launched.

In the O'Neal family, these four ships had been named, 'Conquest', 'Victory', 'Glory', and 'Tyrant'. One can see from the names of these ships the ambition and expectations of the O'Neal family in conquering the Ark Continent.

The workers below were still busy. Axe was standing on the dock, a step behind his father. Axe's father looked at the four big ships and couldn't help but smile. He turned to Axe and said, "Axe, you did this quite magnificently. As long as the family occupies the Ark Continent, you will receive the highest honors." Although Axe was feeling proud in his heart, his outside expression maintained its calm. He bowed to his father and replied, "It is my pleasure to benefit the family. Father, I want you to wait for a while. I'll head to the Ark Continent and contact Zhao Hai. What do you think?"

Axe's father smiled, but he shook his head and said, "Axe, there's no need to be anxious. Wait until everyone is ready. When the time comes, it won't be too late. Zhao Hai is very young and might be inexperienced, however, this doesn't mean the same for the other people in the Ark Continent. If we aren't prepared and you just brashly go there, you might alert them. This matter is crucial for the family, so we don't want even a small mistake. Axe, don't forget, you're a young Patriarch, what you need to do is to overlook the entire situation and not to charge headfirst. That kind of thing is not befitting someone of your status, let others do it instead. Understood?"

Upon hearing his father, Axe didn't talk back. Instead, he nodded and said, "Yes, father, I understand."

Axe's Father nodded, then he patted Axe's shoulder and said, "Kid, I'll be handing the future of the O'Neal family in your hands. You need to understand that there are things that even the Patriarch cannot help with. You can't do everything by yourself, otherwise, what point is there for your position?" Axe remembered his father's words. Although he didn't have a thorough understanding about it, he also knew that this wasn't the time to ask his father. He just nodded and stayed silent.

At this time, someone arrived by Axe's father and kneeled down on one knee, "Reporting to the Patriarch. Everything has been prepared. We ask the Patriarch to give the honors!"

Axe's father nodded. Then he went to the pier right by the Tyrant. On the bow of the ship was a bottle of wine tied by the rope. Axe's father took the bottle and then swung it with all his strength towards the ship.
