The Era of Gods - Chapter 548

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: The Final Transformation

“Another one belongs to a three-star combat team called Greedy Wolf under the Sixth Division of our Second Expeditionary Army, and is of the same rank as our Furious Flame Battalion. They are currently conquering a medium Crystal Wall System designated as CY-00801.”

“Although this Crystal Wall System is not of a high level and is insufficient to give birth to great existences, its internal resource evaluation is four stars, its energy level evaluation is four stars, and it possesses worlds with attributes of great value. The Greedy Wolf Brigade is currently conquering that world, establishing not just a military base outside the World Crystal Wall but also an outpost base outside the main material plane within the world.”

“But sometime ago, the largest native god system of this Crystal Wall System attacked the outpost base. Meanwhile, the Nightmare and Void forces seized the opportunity to raid, and although all enemies were repelled in the end, the Greedy Wolf Combat Team suffered huge losses, and the commander died in the chaos of battle. Now, the combat team is headless, you have sufficient military rank, and have long been without real power; this is a good opportunity. If you want, you can ask my father for a transfer to take over the Greedy Wolf Combat Team directly.”

“By the way, this world has high evaluations both for resources and energy levels. It’s not only us who are attempting to conquer it, but also the Nightmare and Sons of the Void, as well as the Soul Race and the Insect Race, a total of five Divine Realm civilizations’ forces are attempting to conquer it. If you choose this one, the risk will be very high.”

Lin Xiao… speechless, said:

“Since when do you think I can control a three-star combat team? I can’t even…”

Xie Yufei caught his glance in an instant, raised her eyebrow, and said with a light sip:

“Normally, you certainly can’t control them, but this time both combat teams have suffered heavy losses, especially the Meteor Brigade which has lost more than seventy percent. The high-ranking officers are dead or lost in the Void, not knowing how many years it might take to return, if ever. If things go poorly, the entire combat team might be disbanded. If you take over, just wait until your Divine Enthronement, and combined with the Ancient God’s Divinity, you can easily control the remaining members. They won’t reject a commander with such a promising future. With these veterans as a foundation, rebuilding the Meteor Brigade will be easier.”

She paused for a moment before continuing:

“Although the Furious Flame Battalion is better, your current strength is insufficient to convince your subordinates, even if you become a god later it will not be easy to control them. Rather than being unable to utilize the combat team’s strength for a long time, it’s better to take control of a remnant force now. Even if the Meteor Brigade is just four stars, it’s still a regular combat team, and even with less than one-third remaining, its power would be a significant addition.”

“More importantly, every combat team has its own private plane, and the Meteor Brigade has one too. They own a medium-sized Crystal Wall System as the combat team’s communal asset. If you become the commander, you’ll immediately obtain a large and well-developed plane as your private domain, which is enough to solve your current problems.”

“Hmm, that’s quite tempting, but doesn’t it have any drawbacks?”

He didn’t believe there were only benefits without any drawbacks.

Xie Yufei smiled and pointed her slender index finger towards his forehead, saying:

“You don’t have to ask, I would have told you anyway. Where there are gains, there are losses. Everything I said has no exaggeration; these can all be realized if you are willing. However, if you take over as the commander of either Meteor or Greedy Wolf Combat Team, you’ll have to take on the responsibilities and grudges of both teams.”

“There are grudges too?”

“Of course. When you conquer numerous worlds and compete for resources, it’s not just from external enemies. Often, you’ll discover valuable worlds at the same time as other forces from the Human Main World, and at that time, you must compete, and that’s where the grudges come from.”

Lin Xiao was speechless.

It had to be said, taking over a combat team was indeed very tempting, even one that had been battered, but thinking about the trouble that came with taking over, as well as the potential internal strife in the future, he hesitated.

Rather than inheriting a bunch of problems, it might be better to continue as is.

It’s not that he was afraid and lacked the confidence to suppress some remnants. The reality was he was preparing for his Divine Enthronement and was very busy. He simply did not have the time to deal with all sorts of messy situations.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said:

“I appreciate my sister’s kindness, but let’s forget it.”

She asked:

“Is it because you don’t have the time?”

“Yes, sister, you know I’m preparing for my Divine Enthronement now, I really don’t have the time.”

“That’s easy, I can help you with that.”

“???”

Lin Xiao looked at her strangely, until her extremely beautiful face flushed red and she turned her head, pretending not to care and said:

“Don’t misunderstand, I’m just trying to help you make a stand. You still have to do the work yourself.”

“I understand!”

He was no fool and could see that this beautiful lady had a fondness for him; in fact, he also had a good impression of this valiant and beautiful woman, but…

After clearing his throat, he said:

“Let’s forget about the commander position for now. I can deal with that after my Divine Enthronement, when I have enough time. Right now, I need to prepare for it. You find me a suitable plane, I’ll rent it for a few hundred years.”

Xie Yufei’s long eyelashes dropped to hide her slightly anxious eyes as she said:

“How large a plane do you need?”

“A large one will do, it matters not whether there are Wise Species within. An energy density of around three stars is suitable; I may not be able to afford anything higher.”

“I have several here; you can look through the information and choose one.”

A light screen unfolded in front of Lin Xiao, displaying detailed information on more than a dozen large planes, including size, terrain, climate, energy density, as well as resources and special products, and even a virtual map for real-time observation of the planes.

When I say ‘above,’ I mean the list included information on two super-large planes as well.

“`

He looked up in confusion at the information for these two super-large planes and Xie Yufei said,

“These are all privately owned by me, just pick one.”

Lin Xiao…

He realized that whether it was his girlfriend or big sister Xie Yufei, both had the ability to save him tens of thousands of years of hard work; even Jin Sisi, who might be of a lesser status, could save him a few thousand years of effort.

This couldn’t help but remind him of a vulgar saying from his previous life, “If a woman is three years older, she brings gold bricks.

If a woman is thirty years older, she brings kingdoms.

If a woman is three hundred years older, she brings immortal pills.

If a woman is three thousand years older, she joins the ranks of the immortals.

If a woman is thirty thousand years older, the Queen Mother feeds her.

If a woman is three hundred thousand years older, she stands at the door of the Buddha.

If a woman is three million years older, the three realms are at her command.

If a woman is thirty million years older, the six realms revolve around her.

If a woman is three billion years older, she creates the heavens and the earth.

If a woman is thirty billion years older, Pangu serves her as a subordinate.

If a woman is three hundred billion years older, she can mold the Milky Way with her hands.

If a woman is three trillion years older, with bare hands she could blow up the nine heavens and ten earths.

Actually, this meal is quite fragrant.

Lin Xiao didn’t hold back, carefully browsing through the dozen planes. He didn’t look at the two super-large planes because there was no need to rent something that big; he couldn’t afford it anyway.

Don’t be fooled by Xie Yufei casually producing large and super-large planes as if they were common. In reality, large planes of value aren’t as plentiful as one might imagine. It’s also because of her extraordinary status as the only direct daughter of the commander of the Fifth Combat Battalion that she has so many resources. If it were anyone else, just try and see.

Even the Lin Family, with two True Gods, didn’t own a single large plane in the past. It took years of struggle with the Zhang Family for such a plane, and only now has a victor emerged.

He casually selected a plane called C-14 and sent the information to Xie Yufei, who looked at it and nodded,

“This plane is close to my main group of planes, and the fortress has a special Teleportation Array. Do you want to go see it?”

Lin Xiao looked at her slightly expectant eyes and shook his head.

Better not; her affection for him was becoming harder to conceal, and with her personality, if he accidentally took advantage of her on the way, it would be a situation impossible to recover from.

Right now, the attaining of Godhood is what’s important, everything else should be put aside.

After saying goodbye to the beautiful sister, Lin Xiao’s Incarnation quickly returned to the Moon Cloud Realm.

As soon as his Incarnation entered the Moon Cloud Realm, it collapsed into a streak of light flying towards the black hole at the center of the Crystal Wall System, disappearing into it and vanishing.

This disappearance lasted a full ten years with no activity, only a continuously expanding black hole and the increasingly unstable structure of the entire plane of the Moon Cloud Realm. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and extreme weather became more frequent, and even ordinary people could easily feel the signs of the world’s destruction.

No matter how much the Church’s Divine Office Staff preached and comforted, it was futile as the signs of destruction were becoming a reality.

Fortunately, in the tenth year, Lin Xiao finally issued a Divine-mandate, ordering the Church to prepare for the relocation of all believers.

A large number of Legendary Star Spirit Mages rushed to various places to build long-distance teleportation gates. All beings from small and large planes around the Moon Cloud Realm could go through these gates to the southern end of the mainland of the Moon Cloud Realm, to the Magician’s Kingdom. There, is a gateway to the internal space of the spatial Divine Artifact, the Magic Cube, temporarily taking all people into the space inside the Magic Cube.

Inside the Magic Cube were one hundred twenty-four super-large spaces, each ten kilometers in length, width, and height, as well as one giant space each a hundred kilometers long, wide, and high, sufficient to take away all the believers and resources of all planes within the Moon Xiao Crystal Wall System.

It’s a shame that these hundred-plus spaces are just empty spaces that cannot draw Void Energy like the Crystal Walls of planes to transform into Elemental Energy. Professionals staying there long term would slowly lose their power and couldn’t stay for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t need to rent planes at all and could directly accommodate all believers in this Divine Artifact.

The relocation of tens of millions of people and countless materials was a monumental task, especially since the civilization was in ancient times with low efficiency. It took almost five years just to relocate the nearly thirty million believers.

And now there was a problem. Lin Xiao’s True Body was undergoing transformation within the black hole, and since his Lifeline Divine Position Incarnation merged with the True Body, it had not reappeared.

Fortunately, he had entrusted the Magic Cube to Slarda early on, who took charge of this relocation affair. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

At this time, Lin Xiao’s transformation was entering the final phase. With the return of the Lifeline Divine Position Incarnation, and all Divine Positions merging, he was reaching the last stage of condensing the Innate Ancient Divine Body, but he hesitated.

Yes, he was indecisive.

At this point, Lin Xiao’s True Body’s will remained clear-headed, though immobilized in the form of a black hole, but fully conscious – knowing full well what this transformation signifies.
