Nowadays, five divine totem countries have appeared around Yanhuang.
The original totem countries were either destroyed or annexed. Even with divine prohibition bombs, Yanhuang could not withstand the pressure.
After all, the number of divine prohibition bombs is limited.
Moreover, their lethality is somewhat insufficient for transcendent beings whose growth level has reached the lower god.
Because of this, the transcendent beings from these totem countries have become increasingly reckless, destroying one base city after another.
It was when Long Zhen Legend was guarding the Imperial Capital Base City that he encountered a siege by multiple quasi-divine transcendent beings, was heavily injured, and has not yet woken up.
With the fall of Long Zhen Legend, the surrender faction in the Elder Council gained the upper hand, planning to defect to a divine totem country and become its vassal.
These totem countries are quite happy to accept Yanhuang.
They need a large amount of faith power, which Yanhuang can fully provide.
In addition, many high-level officials in these totem countries are interested in technology and want to obtain the technological resources mastered by Yanhuang.
They have also made good offers.
The most important point is that as long as Yanhuang beast tamers do not leave the base cities, they will not attack proactively.
This is actually a trap.
It is equivalent to confining Yanhuang's beast tamers within the base cities. In the long run, their strength will inevitably be difficult to improve.
Once they master Yanhuang's technological power, Yanhuang will no longer pose any threat to these totem countries.
Yanhuang will have no choice but to follow them wholeheartedly, continuously providing faith power, and will be completely reduced to a vassal, becoming a slave.
Of course, the high-level officials of Yanhuang have seen through this.
However, they still have to survive.
Survival is hope, just like their ancestors.
This idea has become mainstream.
Too many beast tamers have died in Yanhuang, and more than seven base cities have been destroyed. The deaths of hundreds of millions of people have made most people lose the confidence to resist.
In the Imperial Capital Base City, the Elder Council is holding a closed-door meeting.
This meeting is not to discuss whether to defect to a totem country, but to discuss which totem country to choose to obtain greater benefits.
At the meeting, Zhao Pu Legend's face was grim, and his cigarette never stopped.
To him, defecting to anyone would result in the same outcome.
As for the benefits, they are also temporary.
He did not believe that Yanhuang, which had lost its faith, could become strong again.
The Elder Council meeting is presided over by the direct descendants of Emperor Feng and Emperor Xing, Feng Legend and Ming Legend.
Feng Legend is named Feng Yu. She is not young, but she is well-maintained, with no wrinkles on her face. She wears a traditional qipao and her long hair is pinned up. Sitting in the main seat, it is impossible to tell whether she is happy or sad.
Ming Legend Ming Jing Tian is more than ten years younger than Feng Legend, but he does not care much about his appearance. He is a short old man.
Feng Legend spoke first:
"I believe everyone present is very clear about Yanhuang's current situation, so I won't say more.
Currently, there are three divine totem countries that have actively extended an olive branch to us.
They are the Nether Rakshasa Emperor to the northwest, the Abyss Dragon Whale Emperor to the southeast, and the Icefield Yeti to the northeast."
The Nether Rakshasa Emperor is the emperor of the Rakshasa Totem Country. His growth level has reached the peak of the lower god, and he is the strongest existence to the northwest of Yanhuang.
The Abyss Dragon Whale Emperor was originally a quasi-divine transcendent being in the East Sea. He had also hunted Xiao Qing.
This fellow obtained many opportunities, his strength grew rapidly, he condensed a divine personality, occupied the entire East Sea and part of the South Sea, established the Abyss Dragon Whale Empire, and called himself the Dragon Whale Great Emperor.
As for the Icefield Yeti, it is a very special existence.
The Icefield Yeti can be said to be a transcendent being, or a totem country.
In any case, Yanhuang has not yet figured out the situation of the other party.
After the Icefield Yeti's异世界 descended, the surrounding totem countries were frozen. Any powerful transcendent beings that tried to trouble the Icefield Yeti were invariably frozen into ice.
Yanhuang once captured images of the Icefield Yeti fighting with divine transcendent beings through satellites.
A single Icefield Yeti has the strength of a totem level.
However, they can merge infinitely.
After merging with each other, their strength quickly grows to that of a lower god, or even higher.
Moreover, they are extremely difficult to kill. Even if they are melted into water, they can quickly revive.
Therefore, the surrounding totem countries were forced to migrate.
The Icefield Yeti does not seem to accept surrender or vassalage.
It's just that they don't know why they would proactively extend an olive branch to Yanhuang.
As long as Yanhuang provides them with faith power, they can guarantee the safety of Yanhuang's base cities.
The Elder Council meeting lasted for a long time.
In the end, there was no clear result.
It is not difficult to determine who to defect to, but it is difficult to determine how the benefits will be divided after defecting, and who will bear the corresponding responsibilities.
For example, Ming Legend's family is all in the Star Capital Base City, so naturally, they hope that the Star Capital Base City will get more benefits and bear less responsibility.
These trivial matters cannot be clarified in a single meeting.
Zhao Pu Legend did not speak, and the ashtray in front of him was full.
His eyes were filled with disappointment.
Back then, Long Zhen Legend should have been more ruthless and eradicated the influence of these families, otherwise Yanhuang would not have become like this now.
Before the meeting ended, Zhao Pu Legend found an excuse and left.
He went to the hospital to check on Long Zhen Legend's condition.
Long Zhen Legend still showed no signs of waking up.
Fortunately, there was no danger to his life.
After Long Zhen Legend's accident, Zhao Pu Legend personally arranged his security and stayed by Long Zhen Legend's side to prevent anyone from harming him.
Besides Zhao Pu Legend himself, he also arranged for Feng Nan to guard the hospital.
Feng Nan's strength had also improved a lot, but he had not made further progress, and could only deal with quasi-divine transcendent beings.
When encountering transcendent beings who had condensed divine personalities, he could only save his life.
Feng Nan looked at Zhao Pu Legend and frowned.
"Have they decided?"
Feng Nan was also a passionate man, and naturally did not want Yanhuang to become a vassal of a totem country.
Therefore, he was also dissatisfied with the Elder Council.
If it weren't for Zhao Pu Legend stopping him, he might have directly attacked Ming Legend, Feng Legend, and others.
"Not yet decided, don't worry, we'll make a decision after Long Zhen Legend wakes up," Zhao Pu Legend comforted him.
Feng Nan nodded.
He had been cultivating frantically for the past few years, wanting to become a mythical beast tamer as soon as possible, or inherit the power of the God of Wind and condense a divine personality to lead Yanhuang to take the initiative.
Unfortunately, he had never succeeded.
He looked out the window and thought of Zheng Dong.
He didn't know if Zheng Dong, who had defeated him in the past, had succeeded.
Zheng Dong had been missing for more than five years, and no one knew where he had gone.
More people thought Zheng Dong was dead.
After Zheng Dong helped Ling'er complete her evolution, he did not rush back to Yanhuang.
He began to examine his own changes.
Ling'er coexisted with him, and Ling'er's growth brought him the greatest benefits.
His bloodline divine body had become stronger.
Under Ling'er's strengthening, the three hundred and sixty-five law worlds within his bloodline divine body had also become more stable.
Zheng Dong could clearly feel the elemental energy from Ling'er's elemental dimensional sea pouring into these law worlds, continuously expanding them and deriving more worlds.
Even if Youyou was about to condense a divine personality, his body could fully withstand it.
Afterward, he asked Jingjing to connect to Yanhuang's network to collect information from the past few years.
Jingjing could easily hack into Yanhuang's network, and even control Yanhuang's satellites, so collecting information was not difficult.
Soon, various information about Yanhuang appeared before Zheng Dong.
The familiar Rongcheng Base City was actually going to be abandoned.
And Shendu Base City had been destroyed.
Many people from the Relic Bureau were also killed.
Professor Guo Lan was injured and paralyzed, and Xia Mengqiu was in a wheelchair.
Compared to those who died, they were considered very lucky.
The Elder Council was even planning to disband the Relic Bureau.
After all, there was no longer a need for a large number of personnel to participate in archaeology.
Of course, what shocked Zheng Dong even more was that the Elder Council was considering defecting to a totem country and becoming its vassal.
Zheng Dong frowned, not expecting Yanhuang to change so much.
Suddenly, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
The pride of being a Yanhuang person seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
However, since he was back, he would change all of this.
Instead of providing faith power to other totem countries, Yanhuang might as well provide it to him.
Immediately, Zheng Dong asked Jingjing to fly to Rongcheng Base City.
Rongcheng Base City is located in the southwest of Yanhuang and is being attacked by the Hanba Totem Country.
The Hanba Totem Country is dominated by Flame Hanba.
Flame Hanba are skilled in fire. Wherever they pass, they will cause a three-year drought.
All water sources will be destroyed by them, and even water veins buried deep underground cannot escape their attack.
Because they dislike water, they are also restrained by water-elemental transcendent beings, and are unwelcome wherever they go.
They are also xenophobic, never accepting vassals, and naturally will not extend an olive branch to Yanhuang.
Their target is the entire southwest of Yanhuang.
Rongcheng Base City, as the largest city in the southwest, is naturally their target for destruction.
Tens of thousands of Flame Hanba emerged from underground and madly attacked Rongcheng Base City.
Xiao Lin, as the president of the Rongcheng Beast Tamer Association, personally went to the front line to lead the beast tamers in a desperate fight against the Flame Hanba.
In the past five years, Xiao Lin has never slacked off. Continuous cultivation has allowed him to break through to the titled legend.
Unfortunately, the enemies he faced were becoming more and more powerful.
The racial level of the Flame Hanba reached quasi-divine level.
They are born with imperial-level strength, and as adults, they can reach overlord-level, or even totem-level.
The Flame Hanba attacking Rongcheng Base City are at least totem-level.
Dealing with a powerful Flame Hanba often requires a beast tamer legion.
Even if Xiao Lin personally took action, it was difficult to resist.
Seeing that the defenses of Rongcheng Base City were about to be breached, Xiao Lin could only resist desperately and shouted:
"Hold on, reinforcements are coming soon, the Elder Council will use divine prohibition bombs!"
In fact, Xiao Lin had already received notification that Rongcheng was to be abandoned.
He was ordered to lead the beast tamer legion of Rongcheng to escape to other base cities, and to save as many as possible.
This order was personally given by Ming Legend.
However, Xiao Lin did not comply.
And he concealed this matter from the public.
It is estimated that if this news were made public, the defenses of Rongcheng would collapse instantly.
The beast tamers who are still fighting are all convinced that the Elder Council will send reinforcements and that Rongcheng will not be abandoned.
Unfortunately, they did not know that after Long Zhen Legend was injured, the situation in the Elder Council changed.
Seeing more and more beast tamers fall, Xiao Lin also felt powerless.
It is not easy to train a beast tamer.
Because of the continuous battles in recent years, a large number of beast tamers have died. Now, anyone with some beast taming talent will be sent to the battlefield.
These fallen beast tamers, although they have all joined the beast tamer corps, are actually just young people in their early twenties.
Seeing the defenses being torn apart by the Yanhuang Hanba, and countless beast tamers falling, Xiao Lin also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
It's over! Rongcheng is finished!
He hated himself for not becoming a titled legend sooner, for not having the chance to become a legend.
If he had become a legend, it would have allowed Rongcheng to hold on longer and demand reinforcements from the Elder Council.
At this moment, a Flame Hanba suddenly appeared and lunged at Xiao Lin.
Seeing Xiao Lin about to be consumed by flames.
A young figure pushed Xiao Lin away.
"Tell my son, don't be a coward!"
Seeing the guard turned to ashes, Xiao Lin was filled with rage, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He unleashed his strongest attack without hesitation.
He was already injured, and the guards around him had been replaced one after another.
He only knew that this guard was a senior beast tamer, and his son was less than three months old.
Unfortunately, Xiao Lin's attack was of no use against this Flame Hanba.
The Flame Hanba is a humanoid transcendent being, which can grow up to two meters three or four. Its entire body is always surrounded by scorching flames, making it difficult to see their true faces.
The Hanba that ambushed Xiao Lin was taller than other Flame Hanba, belonging to a mutated Flame Hanba.
Its strength also reached the peak of quasi-divine level.
The many pet beasts summoned by Xiao Lin were no match for it.
With the appearance of this Flame Hanba, more Flame Hanba also emerged from underground.
The defenses in Xiao Lin's area were also breached by the Flame Hanba.
This also indicates that the defenses of Rongcheng Base City have completely collapsed.
Xiao Lin retreated, intending to fight to the death.
His father was also in the beast tamer corps, and had taught him since childhood that a true man should have courage!
He roared and charged forward.
He prepared to join forces with his pet beasts to kill this Flame Hanba.
Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, everything he did was a bit superfluous.
He could not break through the defenses of this Flame Hanba, and was kicked away by the Yanhuang Hanba.
Xiao Lin, who fell heavily on the ground, saw a starship in the sky speeding towards them. It was very fast and appeared above him in an instant.
Then, a familiar figure appeared before him, blocking the charging Flame Hanba.
"Zheng Dong!"
Xiao Lin looked at Zheng Dong in surprise. This genius, who everyone thought was dead, had returned!
After Zheng Dong learned of the situation in Rongcheng Base City, he asked Jingjing to rush to Rongcheng Base City and deploy satellites to check the situation in Rongcheng Base City.
Of course, these satellites were all secretly controlled by Jingjing hacking into the control system.
Seeing that the defenses of Rongcheng had completely collapsed and that a large number of beast tamers had died, Zheng Dong asked Jingjing to speed up.
Fortunately, he was not too late and had saved Xiao Lin.
