However, as the amount of time he stayed in Heaven’s Vault Continent became longer, and he was exposed to more and more things, it was easy to see why that was the case now.
In Dragon God Empire, the Four-Classes Stratification System was very clear-cut. In the eyes of the nobility and people with power and status, ordinary humans were just cheap, lowly people.
Were the lives of cheap, lowly people valuable? Not at all!
If they die, then so be it.
How could they possibly compare to an eighth-grade magic core?
“What a frustrating world this is!”
Meng Lei took a deep breath and suppressed the messy thoughts in his mind. He walked step by step to the bottom of the city walls and murmured, “Since they won’t open the gates, then I can only go up there myself!”
He’d only just spoken when the ground in the far distance suddenly began to shake. An earthen dragon suddenly broke out of the ground surface, bellowing and roaring furiously as it charged ferociously toward the bottom of the city walls with its fangs bared and claws brandishing.
Then, it crashed right into the bottom of the city walls.
Boom!
Dirt and earth flew everywhere as a booming explosion rang out from the ground.
A massive amount of dirt and earth piled up, and in less than the amount of time it took to take a few breaths, a grand path leading up to the top of the city walls had formed!
“Oh my dragon god!”
“This...”
Everyone at the bottom of the city walls was astounded by the sight of this. All of them forgot to even react as they gazed at the slope leading straight to the top of the city walls.
“A path!”
“It’s a path!”
Someone let out a shout. A great furor went through the crowd instantly, and tears of joy formed in everyone’s eyes as they began to cheer madly.
“A Magician!”
“It’s a Lord Magician!”
“He created that path!”
Everyone looked one by one at Meng Lei, who stood at the top of the slope, their feelings of gratitude obvious. Meng Lei gave them a slight smile and said, “Hurry and come up here, everyone! Time waits for no one!”
“Yes, yes!”
No one dared to be tardy. They hastily carried their things and climbed along the slope up the city walls. The fat Baron Skyles walked over to Meng Lei, embarrassed and grateful at the same time, yet not forgetting to give him a standard nobility salute.
“Esteemed Lord Magician, thank you very much. I, Skyles Borunga, am eternally grateful for your kindness in saving our lives!”
“You’re welcome!”

In the grand city gate tower of Great Dragon Blood Wall...
A muscular Dragon Person with a pair of horns on his head and dressed in golden armor sat on a high chair. An intimidating aura emanated from him, his dignified and imposing self evident to all.
He was Marquis Gould, a powerful Ninth-Grade Warrior, and a pure-blooded Fire Dragon Person. A member of Fire Dragon Kingdom’s royalty and the highest commander of the troops garrisoned at Great Dragon Blood Wall.
As a Fire Dragon Person born into royalty and enjoying high status and authority, like the vast majority of Dragon People nobility, Marquis Gould despised human commoners from the core of his being.
As a result, when he had received news of the special-class beast tide warning issued by the kingdom, Marquis Gould had immediately ordered the closure of all the city gates serving as entry and exit points from Great Dragon Blood Wall.
,314 city gates... All of them had closed!
Innumerable people were blocked outside the towering city walls!
Marquis Gould knew very well the consequences brought about by his order. He knew that countless lives would perish under the beast tide’s rampage, that people would be thrown into great suffering and misery, and that there would be a great many casualties, but he didn’t care.
Heaven’s Vault Continent was a place where the strong lived while the weak perished!
People incapable of even climbing up the city walls... Their deaths were of no consequence!
As for the people’s cursing and swearing, Gould could hardly be bothered. Those were just the mad barking of the weak. Would a Colossal Dragon concern itself with an ant’s pitiful cries?
Of course not!
However, all of a sudden...
The cursing and swearing came to a sudden stop. Right after, they turned into astonishingly loud cheers instead. Marquis Gould’s brows drew together slightly, a hint of puzzlement arising in him.
What’s going on outside? Why aren’t they swearing anymore?
“Is anyone there?” Gould shouted.
“My lord, what is the matter?”
An armored guard ran in.
“What’s going on outside?” asked Marquis Gould aloofly.
“My lord, this is what happened...”
The armored guard quickly recounted what had happened at the city walls. Marquis Gould raised his eyebrows and asked, “An earth-elemental Magician? Is he a human or a Dragon Person?”
“He’s a human!”
“Is he nobility?”
“Judging from his age and what he’s wearing, he doesn’t look like one.”
“Neither a Dragon Person nor a noble, yet he’s such a busybody and so ignorant.”
Marquis Gould said aloofly, “Just as well. Since he’s such a busybody, then we’ll fulfill his wishes. Tell him that he’s been recruited by the frontier troops, and get him to stay at the city walls obediently and wait for further orders.”
“Yes, my lord!”
The guard turned and left the city gate tower. Before long, he appeared in front of Meng Lei, who just so happened to have arrived at the top of the city gates after leading the villagers up the slope.
When looking out from such a high place, one’s field of vision stretched far and wide.
The Great Dragon Blood Wall was
