Chapter 596: Chapter 596: The Advancement of the Mountain and River Spirits

Fang Jie also had no other choice, who let those giant dragons indeed possess strength beyond his own.

It is the top tier we’re speaking of, although he already had five Demigod Level subordinates, in a real fight, they might not even be a match for a single Dragon Clan’s Demigod.

The Dragon Clan is inherently much stronger than other creatures; even after becoming Demigods, their strength’s foundation remains just as profound.

Considering they have been Demigods for many years while his subordinates had only just reached it, the gap was significant. Even two Empires dared not make a move against those giant dragons, let alone himself now.

So, the best course of action was to lay low for the time being and feign weakness before the enemy.

After all, since he wasn’t directly interacting with those giant dragons, he wouldn’t feel anything himself.

Regarding the Sea Alliance, Fang Jie learned that the people there had an inherent reverence for giant dragons. His current actions were actually much firmer than their usual approach.

Even though Fang Jie felt like he had shown considerable weakness, the local morale was still high.

Sometimes, it’s true that one’s own perspective isn’t necessarily the correct one.

Several days later, Fang Jie arrived above the desert because the Mountain and River Spirits had assimilated some strength and were now ready to level up. In fact, with the characteristics of the Mountain and River Spirits, this upgrade was not likely to fail.

Besides, with the support from Fang Jie as their master, as special pets, the Mountain and River Spirits would also continue to be uplifted alongside Fang Jie’s own progression. This kind of pet, even if the advancement fails, still has the opportunity to advance further.

This is the biggest difference between having a backer and having none.

Of course, should it really happen, the Mountain and River Spirits could only rely on Fang Jie for future upgrades. Moreover, after the upgrade, there wouldn’t be any significant benefits—it would undoubtedly be the weakest kind.

At least for now, Fang Jie didn’t want the Mountain and River Spirits to become something akin to waste after an advancement.

Arriving at the desert, Fang Jie watched from afar as a large open area had appeared around him. This place was specially prepared for the Mountain and River Spirits’ promotion.

Other creatures did not need such arrangements, but the Mountain and River Spirits were indeed different.

"It’s no wonder creatures with World Attribute assimilate World Origin Power so rapidly," Fang Jie could clearly feel the power inside the Mountain and River Spirits being continuously assimilated.

Even the absorption efficiency far exceeded that of himself, the Lord.

In just a few days, the World Origin Power absorbed last time had been almost completely used up. Had it not been for this, the Mountain and River Spirits couldn’t have reached the level required to advance.

Originally at the Golden Peak level and still requiring so much, their needs were greater than ordinary people.

Calculating this Origin Power, Fang Jie estimated that if it were placed on others, it would suffice for the upgrade of five individuals at the Golden Peak. The World Origin gradually merged, and that level was finally surpassed in one leap.

Indeed, Fang Jie did not feel any bottleneck in the Mountain and River Spirits; it was as if there were no obstructions at all.

Perhaps this being simply didn’t have bottlenecks due to its unique makeup.

As long as the strength accumulated met the requirements, advancement could occur without accidents. A vast amount of power began to converge and be absorbed; with the start of the upgrade, a brief energy vacuum state even appeared around it.

Creating an energy vacuum in this world was not an easy feat.

As a large amount of power was absorbed, the Mountain and River Spirits’ own power began to expand and elevate continuously. Fang Jie could feel a special power being nurtured within, growing stronger and stronger.

It wasn’t long before the ground began to crumble, and countless rocks and stones rose as if gravity had lost its hold.

Following that, the sands and rocks were drawn in, continually accumulating onto the Mountain and River Spirits.

The Mountain and River Spirits maintained their form throughout, appearing as if they were absorbing these rocks and sands. In fact, that wasn’t far from the truth since the Mountain and River Spirits were originally composed of earth and stone.

A massive amount of earth and stone melded and assimilated, and the Mountain and River Spirits grew larger and larger, inflating as though they were being pumped with air.

From their original size of a hundred meters or so, they expanded to cover an area over two thousand meters in range.

Given their flat bodies, this range almost reflected the size of their back.

"Look, those buildings are shrinking," a voice arose, prompting Fang Jie to look up and indeed, he noticed the buildings on the back of the Mountain and River Spirits seemed to be getting smaller, but something was amiss.

"No, they aren’t shrinking; they just appear smaller because the space behind the Mountain and River Spirits has separated out."

Being of a higher level and the pet being his own, Fang Jie was more attuned to sensing such changes.

Behind the Mountain and River Spirits, where once buildings were directly constructed upon the Spirits themselves and became operative, that space had now become a little world of its own.

Although not perfect, it was still a special space.

This was a unique existence that only creatures with World Attributes could condense, and Fang Jie could even feel that this little world was the real body of the Mountain and River Spirits, with the turtle below just an external representation.

Meanwhile, the space began to rapidly expand, but outwardly there seemed to be no significant difference.

This object was akin to a space ring, though not on such an enormous scale. Gradually, Fang Jie felt the space stabilize, and its inner space had expanded at least tenfold.

The outer surface blurred, making it hard to discern clearly.

It wasn’t long before the image cleared up, seemingly allowing one to see everything inside with clarity. But upon closer examination, Fang Jie noticed that there was a peculiar distortion in the view.

In other words, what appeared real from the outside was an illusion.

What was crucial, ordinary people would not be able to discern the difference; their experience going in and out would likely feel the same. This slight illusion was a great source of confusion for outsiders and also a means of protecting oneself.

Disguising one’s appearance, the Mountain and River Spirits had intuitively understood this.

Or perhaps, it was the instinctual way of worlds to protect themselves, with each world having some similar means.

"Very good, very good, now I’m even more assured. I wonder what the capabilities of this base are now; once the space completely stabilizes, we shall go inside for a look. Perhaps this time we can add quite a few large buildings."

Just the external size was over a thousand meters; inside was even larger, allowing many buildings to not be as cramped.

Others, gazing upon this colossal being, were all filled with admiration, as it was the first time such a large special creature appeared in the Territory.
