Chapter 156: Chapter 70: The Urgency Brought by the New Folder (3k)

"Please, what exactly do you mean by Beast God? Is it the culprit behind this cold disaster?

What tier is the Beast God? It can actually cause planetary-level phenomena?"

After inviting the two Beast Kings in, Bai Yi immediately asked about the matters he was interested in and put the "official business" aside for the moment.

Bai Yi knew he was not cut out for negotiating terms; he wouldn’t even dare to bargain with the market aunties, let alone negotiate with the Beast Kings. It’s best to leave professional matters to the professionals who were on their way.

The two Beast Kings had already been briefed by the orange cat about Bai Yi’s developments over this period of time and had secretly toured Eternal Life City to verify Bai Yi’s strength.

They knew that this human, who was still a synonym for weakness half a month ago, had pulled together a force that was not weaker than theirs, perhaps even stronger.

Although they wanted to settle the matter immediately, they were now relatively on the weaker side and had no choice but to follow Bai Yi’s lead and answer his questions.

"The Beast God refers to the most powerful being in this world, the first creature to reach the 8th tier. It is said to embody a bear, but it is too far away, and none of us have ever seen its true form.

On the day of its breakthrough, it was scorching hot, and even the river water evaporated, almost drying up the Red River.

It was the most terrifying existence we have ever felt since we gained intelligence.

Knowing that its existence would bring disaster to the world and cherishing the lives of the world, it voluntarily went into slumber to prevent widespread carnage, and the world returned to tranquility.

In the days that followed, there was heavy rainfall, as if the heavens pitied it..."

Bai Yi was surprised that the previously cunning-looking monkey could hold such reverence for a being, almost to the degree of faith.

As for the heavy rain mentioned, Bai Yi knew what it was about; because the Beast God’s power evaporated so much river and even sea water, under its maintenance, that vapor naturally stayed put.

But as the Beast God’s power diminished, without heat to sustain it, encountering cold naturally turned all back to rain.

But, if the Beast God’s power brings heat, then the cold disaster...

"But this cold disaster was definitely not its doing; according to our guess, it was another Beast God who had just broken through, releasing its power to proclaim its existence.

Its presence had early indications a month ago; at our level, as superpowers undergo qualitative changes, we could feel the unintentional dispersal of its power.

It was only after the breakthrough that we knew the nature of its power.

But the current weather, I am sure, is definitely the Beast God struggling against that new Unknown Existence, and these changes are merely the remnants of their power dispersion.

Even just the incidental leakage is enough to be a disaster for all low-level creatures."

As Bai Yi followed the monkey’s gaze and turned his head towards the tree hole, he caught sight of the pouring rain instantly replaced by blazing sun.

"This power struggle is indeed clearly noticeable, but from your tone, you seem to prefer the original Beast God?"

Without hesitation and with certainty, the monkey replied:

"Of course, the Beast God who had broken through many years ago, how could a newcomer possibly contend!

Moreover, the Beast God also cherishes us more, only it is worthy of the title of God.

I guess, the newcomer will probably not last a week, and gradually retreat and be forced into slumber."

One week, if it starts retreating within a week, including the time to be completely forced into slumber, it would almost match up to two weeks, aligning with the Cycle Challenge.

Although Cycle Challenge might sometimes be cryptic, the timing is indeed quite precise.

At least we can now be sure that after two weeks the weather should return to normal.

The weather this coming week will probably remain unpredictable like now, and the week after might be dominated by the power of the first Beast God, turning hot...

It’s time to make some preparations!

Immediately, Bai Yi gave orders within the Swarm Network to allocate some insect swarms to stock up in advance while the ice on the Red River had not melted due to the bad weather.

With the Burrowing Worms available, storing in cellars is quite simple.

As his consciousness returned to his body, the two Beast Kings did not disturb Bai Yi, who was clearly distracted; the monkey knew well that Bai Yi was interacting with the pervasive Spirit Network here.

After arriving near the territory, assisted by Transcendent powers, it sensed the vast and intricate Spirit Network here, in terms of quantity, even surpassing its power, reaching the 6th tier level.

Being surpassed in his most skilled aspect is also why he became so humble.

"Sorry, I just remembered something that needs handling. I naturally welcome both of you to join the territory, but I still don’t know, what are your abilities?"

The first to answer was the Monkey King, who, with additional hints from the orange cat, knew when not to be reserved.

"My ability is somewhat similar to Lord Tree King, proficient in Spiritual Ability, able to read others’ thoughts, and can also apply it to reality, achieving some degree of object manipulation effect."

It allowed the long stick that was hung on its tail to float out according to its will, suspending in front of Bai Yi and demonstrating its ability.

As for its Spiritual ability, it did not actively showcase it.

Being a fellow possessor of Spiritual abilities, it clearly knew that directly connecting to someone else’s brain was a highly offensive act; it might be permissible with weaker beings, but facing Bai Yi...

Not to mention the issue of potentially causing offense, looking at the vast Spirit Network connected to Bai Yi, if it used its superpower and failed to break through that network and connect with Bai Yi on the first attempt, it would be extremely embarrassing...

This decision indeed saved it from a backlash, otherwise, if it had forcibly connected with Bai Yi, the Spirit Resistance stacked up by tens of thousands of the Swarm Network was no joke.

Initially, when it mentioned that its abilities were similar to his, Bai Yi was somewhat concerned, but seeing that it was merely Telekinesis and Spiritual, he inevitably felt a bit disappointed.

However, this ability was still commendable. Although the Swarm also had similar abilities due to being Transcendent, after all, they maxed out at tier 5, whereas the Monkey King still had room for growth.

Turning to look at the white bird beside him, who was copying the Monkey King’s tone and introducing itself, it was obvious that the bird wasn’t as adept at handling social interactions... or being a bird.

"My ability is Wind, specializing in speed, capable of stirring up gales that can snap giant trees. Within White Poplar City, I am confident that no creature can match my speed!"

The white bird slightly spread its wings, mimicking another and conjured a small whirlwind in front of him.

But it clearly wasn’t skilled at precise control; the whirlwind amalgamated the already unstable airflow inside the tree hole caused by the temperature variances, generating a larger cyclone.

Items hanging in the tree hole and on the nearby Potion table almost got blown away, but luckily, the orange cat resting nearby timely intervened with a barrier to stop the whirlwind and saved the temporarily inaccessible glassware.

"Stop, stop, stop! I’ve seen enough!"

Bai Yi hurriedly called it off, but the big bird still seemed quite pleased with itself, thinking Bai Yi was impressed by its power.

"I’ve understood your abilities, and there’s definitely no problem joining, but regarding the process, there are a few things here that I need your cooperation with."

"Tree King please speak; if it’s within our power, we will certainly cooperate."

The Monkey King immediately agreed, feeling that it had left a good impression in front of Bai Yi given the comparison with the big bird, seizing the opportunity to push further.

Bai Yi was also quite satisfied with the Monkey King’s attitude and began to explain his plan:

"You all should know the special nature of a Lord. Tomorrow we will face a challenge, and I will need your..."

"I understand, I will go back and prepare. When the time comes, Tree King can send someone to coordinate with me, to achieve the plan together.

So, about our migration..."

"That’s definitely no problem, but I don’t involve myself in the specific details; he will be in charge."

Bai Yi turned to look towards the entrance of the tree hole, just as two Erosion Worms, clutching Shang Ji, landed gracefully on the aerial walkway, politely greeting the two Beast Kings:

"Two Beast Kings, we meet again. I am Shang Ji, representing the Queen in negotiating the cooperation details with you."

......

With a professional arriving, Bai Yi stood up and yielded the spot to Shang Ji. The details had already been discussed over the Network, and Bai Yi confidently stepped outside.

The submission of the two Beast Kings was almost without surprises, and soon White Poplar Mountain would become part of the territory’s domain.

As for the two Beast Kings, Bai Yi already had plans for them. The Monkey King could be in charge of interrogation work within the territory in the future; its Spiritual superpower was not as effective in combat as the Swarm, but it was quite suitable for tasks requiring precision.

As for White Feathered Owl’s ability, it was not of much use for daily logistical tasks and could only be employed in combat, serving as significant tier 5 combat power or providing an advantageous buff to the Swarm.

But after integrating the two Beast Kings into the territory, another issue arose.

Next week’s activities might attract some Lords to actively enter White Poplar Mountain on raids, and with the two Beast Kings gone, it was uncertain if other Lords might approach the borders of the territory.

A way to demarcate a boundary needed to be devised to prevent those Lords from entering areas they should not.

And the best boundary within the mountain could be those Banyan Trees that almost occupied White Poplar Mountain!

"Perhaps I could enlighten some Tree-men to serve as the first layer of barrier. Now that the Tree-men’s genes have been integrated into several essential keywords, after multiple amplifications, the Magic Power Value required to cultivate one Tree-man has reduced to 2000.

Even though many Tree-men are needed to act as barriers, with Crystal Rice supplementing Magic Power, it should be possible to complete it before the Lords start entering White Poplar Mountain.

Just in time, after the Crystal Rice reserve is used up and the snow begins to melt, the Fungus Blanket can also sprout officially, bringing in revenue from Crystal Rice, so there’s no need to worry about the consumption of Crystal Rice.

Moreover, by that time, it would also be nearly time to enter the instance and harvest another batch of Crystal Rice!"

The number of "New Folders" has increased greatly, inciting a sense of urgency even in the usually laidback Bai Yi.

With the plan in place, Bai Yi immediately set into action.
