As the saying went, “With comparison come frustrations.”
For a while, everyone longed for the Meng Lei Empire. Everyone wanted to become part of the Meng Lei Empire. Among them, those with initiative then started to flee...
To sum it up, the whole continent had become chaotic because of Meng Lei’s actions.
An invisible storm engulfed the continent as the three major empires started to be shaken at the core.
Of course, none of this was very important.
The three empires didn’t fear rioting slaves. The only thing that worried them was still just Meng Lei himself. The slaves didn’t possess any combat power. No matter how fiercely they struggled, it was no more than the mad barking of the weak.
On the other hand, Meng Lei was different—he loomed over them like a sharp blade that might cleave down upon them any moment!
In the Beast People Empire...
“Please, I’m leaving it to you, high priest!”
The Beast Emperor, as well as all the Beast People Empire officials, were all watching the old Fox-Man with hope and anticipation in their eyes. Now that things had come to this, they could only place hope in... the Beast God.
“Your Majesty, this old man will try his best!”
The aging old high priest let out a couple of coughs. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and began to build a communication link with the Beast God hidden in some obscure place.
As the Beast God’s most devout worshiper in Heaven’s Vault Continent, it wasn’t hard for the old Fox-Man to build a link to the Beast God. The Beast God would also usually respond to him, but this time...
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Half an hour passed.
“Your Majesty, I’ve disappointed you.”
The old Fox-Man opened his eyes, a look of shame and guilt on his face.
“Old high priest, has the Beast God really abandoned his pious believers?”
The Beast Emperor’s eyes were filled with hopelessness. Dejected and lost, all the officials looked like lifeless grieving widows.
“Your Majesty, let me try again!”
The old Fox-Man let out a resigned laugh. He quietly set ablaze the power of his divine spirit and strengthened his senses.
Yet, no matter how hard or how many times he tried, the great Beast God simply didn’t respond. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.
In the end, the old Fox-Man could no longer persevere any further. He coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, and breathed his last.
“Old high priest!!”
“Old high priest!!”
“Sob...”
A sad and sorrowful atmosphere filled the hall as the officials fell onto their knees. The Beast Emperor was filled with self-blame. “Old high priest, it’s my fault! It’s all my fault...”
Disregarding the sorrowful and despairing Beast People Empire monarch and officials for now and focusing on the old Fox-Man instead, a mysterious and mighty force descended upon him and brought his divine spirit away after he died.
When he opened his eyes, he was already in a beautiful, scenic, and picturesque golden divine nation. Power of divinity descended from above and re-manifested a physical body for him.
A brief moment later, a strong and muscular Fox-Man with a head full of black hair appeared—it was the Fox-Man himself!
As the Fox-Man looked at his hands and took in his young and strong body’s sensation, he became so agitated that tears filled his eyes, and he dropped onto his knees right away and kowtowed.
“O great Beast God! Thank you for your generosity and kindness! Praise be to you!”
“Those who believe in me shall gain eternal life!”
An awe-inspiring, majestic, and thunderous voice rang out in his ear. The old Fox-Man knew that it was the Beast God’s voice. At once, he lamented tearfully, “O great Beast God, please save your lowly people. They are currently in an abyss of suffering...”
The Beast God’s voice, however, completely died down and didn’t sound again.
“Beast God...”
The old Fox-Man fell limp onto the ground as a look of despair came over his features. He knew—the Beast God had completely abandoned the Beast People in Heaven’s Vault Continent!
In the Titan Empire...
“What do we do now, Your Majesty?”
“Think of something, Your Majesty!”
The Titan Empire officials were currently in a state of utter panic. In spite of that, the Thunder Titan Emperor was instead drowning his sorrows in alcohol, paying no attention whatsoever to the anxious officials.
“Your Majesty!”
Helpless, the officials could only request the Titan Empress to make an appearance in hopes that she could persuade the emperor.
“Oh, it’s the Empress? Come on, have a few drinks with me!”
“Your Majesty, how can I possibly still be in the mood to drink when a national crisis looms over us?” The Titan Empress said, “The officials are all in a panic and awaiting your directions!”
“Directions? What kind of directions can I possibly give?”
The Thunder Titan Emperor looked completely drunk as he said, “The temple grandmasters are all dead, and even Horace, whom the Titan Spiritual God had dispatched, is also dead.
“The enormous Titan Empire doesn’t even have a single half-deity anymore. We are, but just meat on the chopping block now. What kind of directions is there to give at this point? We can just await death to befall us!”
“Even so, are you just going to do nothing and wait for the Meng Lei Empire to invade us, Your Majesty?”
The Titan Empress said in persuasion, “If that happens, we won’t have any way out at all!”
“What do you mean by that, Empress?”
The Thunder Titan Emperor looked at the empress out of the corner of his eyes.
“Since we cannot resist them, then why don’t we take the initiative to submit to them?”
The Titan Empress said gravely, “If we take the initiative to submit, we’ll at least
