The Era of Gods

Chapter 470: 470

Before Shen Yuexin returned to her post, she told Lin Xiao that foreign aid would definitely arrive within a year, and now that half a year had passed, it meant that he only needed to persevere for another half a year.

However, looking at the massive forces of the Savage King Kingdom and the Ancient Dragon Nation outside the city, he felt that with the current strength, it would be difficult to hold out for half a year.

“It’s a good thing I gave up the major class!”

Lin Xiao sighed and said to Senior Chumo beside him,

“I’ll leave the rest to you.”

She nodded and said,

“Don’t worry, I’ll block them, at least for three months.”

Lin Xiao smiled and said,

“No need for three months, half a month will suffice.”

“Are you that confident?”

“Of course, just wait and see.”

He flashed a confident smile and turned to leave the platform. Watching his firm face and strong stride, Senior Chumo felt an inexplicable surge of confidence deep in her heart.

He quickly arrived at a secret chamber inside the Dragon God’s Temple. At the bottom of the chamber was a teleportation array. Taking out the Book of All Laws given to him by his girlfriend, he activated the array, and with a flash of light, he had vanished from sight.

When he reappeared, he was in a secluded ravine more than a hundred kilometers from the battlefield.

The ravine was usually desolate without any stationed troops and far from the battlefield. Unless one used a legendary spell, even if the Grand Magician himself came in person, he would not detect any changes here.

Of course, Lin Xiao did not come here to cast any legendary spells. He teleported from afar and appeared at the bottom of the valley. What he saw was a dark, damp environment covered with moss and ferns, and a black-armored centipede as thick as an arm poking its head out from the mossy crevices, its antennae waving back and forth.

Surveying the area, the valley was very dark and humid, filled with poisonous insects and snakes, showing no signs of human presence.

Originally, he had only surveyed the place briefly as a backup location and had not assigned anyone to prepare here, fearful of alerting people like Cao Yichen. The intuition of a Demigod Avatar was beyond the imagination of an ordinary person; the slightest trace would catch their attention.

Once sure there was nothing else, he spread his arms and pulled a circle, a point of light in front of him quickly expanded into a halo. A hand covered in golden scales grabbed the halo and pulled, and the halo swiftly expanded into a gate of light.

Several tall and extraordinarily handsome Star Spirits floated out, swiftly pouring energy to prompt the Divine Realm Gate to open wider.

Yes, Lin Xiao’s contingency plan was to open the Divine Realm and dispatch his Clan for battle.

Previously, during the major class, he was uncertain about whether to give it up, so he could not open the Divine Realm Gate. Now that he had decided to give up the class, he no longer had to abide by its rules, and his seniors were able to dispatch their Clans as well, as could he.

When the Divine Realm Gate expanded to a full fifty meters high, a group of Star Spirits flew out, spreading around the gate. A dense fluctuation of energy spread, causing the surrounding insects to scatter.

“Hum!”

A colossal figure stepped out from the light gate. Its large, gold-scaled foot sank into the damp ground, and a spark from its enormous nostrils ignited the surrounding weeds. A Supreme Naga Great Lord stood forty meters tall, with a tail fifty meters long and a body that seemed to be cast from gold. Its stature was not much different from Lin Xiao’s previous Incarnation, with a Rank 9 standing. It was the first to crawl out and immediately bowed its head to Lin Xiao,

“Selton beholds the Supreme Creator!”

He nodded, extending his hand to stroke the head that was presented to him, caressing the thick golden scales with a loving expression.

All of these were his creations; in a strict sense, they were his children and also the main support of his current strength.

Afterward, three more Rank 9 Naga Great Lords emerged, named Taida (female), Mars, and Gu Da, joining Selton, three males and one female.

Following the Naga Great Lords, a dozen Rank 8 Legendary Star Spirits came forth. Their Mage profession was not a result of Profession Cards; instead, they had acquired Mage professions through their own capabilities, making them true Legendary Mage powerhouses. Not only were they Rank 8 Legendary beings, but they also held Rank 8 Legendary professional statuses.

These ten Legendary Star Spirits all had the capability to challenge Rank 9 beings, and with proper preparation, they could even challenge Rank 10 Demigods. They represented one of the strongest forces at his command.

In fact, back when they were Wise Goblins, the racial limits of a typical Wise Goblin were very low. At that time, Wise Goblins who were Rank 6 or Rank 7 Grand Magicians had reached those levels through their professional ranks, and their racial ranks were almost negligible, offering no help to their strength.

Even so, they were able to effortlessly defeat those of powerful Races with Transcendent ranks. This testament to the strength gained from advancing through their own Wisdom and Mage professional levels was truly hard-earned.

Batch after batch of Legendary Supreme Nagas walked out of the gate, followed by crowd after crowd of Transcendent Star Spirit Grand Magicians. Under the leadership of their chiefs, the Supreme Nagas spread out in every corner of the ravine, guarding the mouth of the valley, while the Star Spirit Mages quickly set up temporary Arrays to shield the massive Divine Realm Gate.

Being granted Totem Status, Lin Xiao opened the Divine Realm Gate without being repelled by the Plane Will.

It was fortunate that he possessed the Totem Status, which allowed him to open the Divine Realm Gate. Just like Cao Yichen and others, who initially arrived in this plane alone and only dared to summon their Clan after becoming a totem.

It took two full days for all forty thousand Star Spirits and sixty thousand Supreme Naga to emerge from the Divine Realm Gate, representing the entirety of Lin Xiao’s core fighting forces from his two main Clans.

Though their numbers were far fewer than those of Cao Yichen and Feng Ziqi’s clans, the individual strength of his Clan members far surpassed theirs. He had a hundred percent confidence that he could crush them in a real fight.

Accompanied by an exalted dragon roar, the Black Dragon Nejelanmu, which had been tempered a thousand times by the Supreme Naga in the Divine Realm and specially cultivated by Lin Xiao, flew out from the Divine Realm Gate, letting out a long howl while stretching its wings that spanned over a hundred meters.

Now advanced to Rank 9 and having the opportunity to become a hero, Nejelanmu had long become Lin Xiao’s fervent disciple. In its heart, if it hadn’t encountered the great Truth and the Creator, it would still be a small Black Dragon waiting for death in some minor plane, not the strong presence in the Dragon Clan it was today.

The anger and hatred it had felt when it was captured had long since disappeared. After its howl, it slowly landed, carefully folding its wings without letting the wind touch Lin Xiao.

He smiled faintly and stepped forward, teleporting to the top of Nejelanmu’s head, and with a gentle flap of the huge wings, the Dragon soared into the sky.

Below, a golden force field surged from the Divine Realm Gate, barging into the plane, and a vague anger slowly surfaced in the Vault of Heaven.

Lin Xiao lightly pressed his hand downward, and the inexplicable anger slowly dissipated.

“Bang!”

Two massive Gold claws pressed against the Divine Realm Gate, followed by an enormous Gold head that barely fit through the gate’s fifty-meter height, its invisible power shook the gate so violently it almost collapsed.

Ferocious yet carrying holiness and dignity, this was the Saint Slarda.

Ever since becoming a Mythical Hero and officially advancing to Saint, his strength had been skyrocketing.

This surge peaked when the Naga collectively ascended to become a true Legendary Race. As the strongest among them, a Mythical Hero, Saint, and a favored one of the Truth and the Creator, his strength now seemed beyond the scope of any standard Rank 10.

Slarda’s True Body had become an unimaginable colossus, its head alone over fifty meters in diameter. Standing upright, its body would be nearly three hundred meters tall, with a dragon tail that stretched almost four hundred meters, and a total length that exceeded seven hundred meters when fully extended.

Even Lin Xiao found it difficult to assess Slarda’s true strength. He had a feeling that without the Creator’s original suppression, even his True Body might not be able to contain Slarda now.

Under various enhancements, Slarda had become a thoroughly terrifying monster.

With such a fearsome size and strength, it was somewhat difficult to enter this plane, and even with the power of hundreds of Totem Statuses, he could not suppress the Plane Will’s strong repulsion of him.

“Star Spirits, prepare!”

In this situation, they could only rely on the Star Spirits to stabilize and enlarge the Divine Realm Gate.

It took another two days to enlarge the Divine Realm Gate enough to accommodate him, and the moment Slarda struggled to enter the plane under its repulsion, a surge of wrath infused with the Plane Will’s will descended like lightning from the sky.

Several seniors outside the Dragon Kingdom Royal City suddenly looked up in this direction, with thick confusion on their faces.

“I feel the wrath and repulsion of the Plane Will. Has some powerful being entered this plane?”

Cao Yichen pressed his brow, feeling his eyelids twitching and having a bad premonition.

On the other side, two third-year seniors also had an ominous feeling but couldn’t pinpoint the reason. They both dispatched teams to explore in that direction.

While they were puzzled here, outside the plane, many Radiance seniors in their incarnations, and some former students who heard of this matter and came specifically, showed rare expressions of shock. Even the incarnations of several school administrators showed a trace of surprise, looking at each other in astonishment for a while. One of them, pointing at the vast Gold head that emerged in the lush jungle canyon on the screen, exclaimed:

“If I’m not mistaken, that’s a hero, right?”

Though it was a question, his tone was certain. His gaze pierced through the Void and fog, seeing the enormous outline deep within the massive canyon, and the figures rushing out from the feet of the mountain-like creature, especially the shadow on the back of a Black Dragon with wings spanning over a hundred meters. The school administrators’ eyes all converged on this figure, paused for a second, and one of them said:

“I recognize this one. It’s Lin Xiao from Class 17, the secondary list contender of high school elites, maintaining a special admission into the collegiate department.”

At this point, he paused, a strange expression on his face, and said:

“This kid is also an Elite Major of the Fifth Military Region, the acting leader of the Furious Flame Battalion, with a higher military rank than us. It seems that Lord Xie Tianyan has a high regard for him.”

“Not just a high regard, he probably wants a son-in-law. I also know that the actual controller of the Furious Flame Battalion now is the only direct daughter of Lord Xie Tianyan. If there weren’t other intentions, such arrangements wouldn’t be made.”

Another school administrator, looking very knowledgeable, gossiped.

No sooner had he finished speaking, than the only female among the school administrators showed a hint of peculiarity on her face.
