Chapter 928: Chapter 468: Surrogate of Death_4

Seeing the soulless Space Devil God in front of him, even the Seven Legends, including the Middle Legend God of Night and the Burial Master, had their pupils shrink.

Silently solving an upper-tier legend indicated that even if Lu Ran’s combat power had not reached Main God Level, he was unquestionably among the strongest just below the Main Gods. He had grown stronger than when he confronted the three Beast Gods!

"Forget about it!" Lu Ran nonchalantly took it back and said, "Let me introduce myself. Lu Ran, Passerby A, I’m sure you’ve all heard of me before from my battle with the three Beast Gods."

"But at that time, my identity was only superficial. I have another identity, that of the Divine Dragon Envoy, a special envoy entrusted with an important mission by the Four Great Dragon Gods. The reason I had my Affiliation summon you all here is because I want to create a ’Super Divine Level item,’ and I need your strength."

"You should know about the Dream-Wish God, right? It once supported a Human Empire and created a growth item—the Imperial Jade Seal—to ensure the nation’s long-lasting prosperity."

"Now, I intend to build upon that and upgrade to a more Advanced Imperial Jade Seal. So I need an extremely powerful force as the foundation, and naturally, the more Legendary beings within this force, the better."

"By joining your force, do we have to follow your every command?" For creatures at this Level, freedom is very important. Although not all are like the Xuan Turtle that pursue a laid-back life, not every Legend likes to be under someone’s control and take orders.

The Cloud Sea Holy Bird spoke slowly; it was used to being casual and free and did not fancy being a lackey like the three Beast Gods.

"No." Lu Ran shook his head and said, "You only need to swear allegiance to the Jade Seal. I always allow my powerful and capable officers plenty of freedom. However, rather than that, I prefer that you all bind your fates with the fate of the Empire, continuously striving for its expansion."

"If it’s the latter, you will also enjoy better treatment."

"Heh..." The various Legends were somewhat skeptical. In plain terms, wasn’t this just a fancy way of employing them, giving them orders? Seeing no response from the Legends, Lu Ran smiled slightly and summoned Yun Bao.

Boom!!!

A terrifying pressure from an upper-tier Elemental God of multiple attributes swept through the valley like a disaster, causing the faces of several Legends to change, thinking Lu Ran intended to force them with power.

But the next moment, Lu Ran simply began introducing him.

"This one, it’s less than two years old, and it’s already at the upper-tier Legendary Level. In that tier, its combat foundation is strong enough to be considered among the best."

"Perhaps, it could reach Main God Level before the age of two. Have any of you ever seen a two-year-old Main God?" Lu Ran smiled as he looked at the Legends. Even the Divine Deer and other Affiliation members twitched at the corner of their mouths when they heard Lu Ran’s words.

Damn, when did Yun whatshisname reach upper-tier Legendary Level?

Beside him, the Pine God touched his nose, feeling a bit responsible.

Since Yun Bao didn’t exert much effort in the battle with the three Beast Gods, the Legends didn’t know much about him. Now seeing that Lu Ran had an upper-tier Legend Elemental God, they were all stunned.

However, they weren’t too surprised that Lu Ran, who could crush a Space Devil God, could summon another upper-tier Legend.

But...

Two years old???

Yun Bao turned its head; two years old wasn’t that young anymore.

"You’re all free to investigate."

"Why does it have such strength today with so little cultivation time?" Lu Ran smiled, "Because I have resources, unlimited resources."

"All of you have been able to cultivate to Legendary Level, and I’m sure it’s not without aspiration. You have the capability, and I have the resources. I’m not going to freeload off your labor; the more capable you are, the more you shall receive. With your talent and potential, as long as the resources keep up, there’s hope for all of you to reach Advanced Legend."

"Take the God of the Six-Path for example. It was precisely because of this that it chose to sign a contract with me and became the Divine Flower protecting my realm. Could it be that the God of the Six-Path has worse insights than you? Now, it has not only taken a step it never did in its past life but, with my resources, also integrated the Samsara System. Currently, its salary is extremely high."

Speaking of which, Lu Ran took out an elemental core of an Advanced Grass Attribute God and said, "For instance, this is its salary for this month."

The bear-shaped Leaf God Bear saw the elemental core, and its eyes went wide, attracted by the high-quality grass attribute power within. Not just it, the Divine Deer’s eyes also went wide, but upon hearing that the Six Paths Flower would get it, her heart shattered.

"And of such resources, I have far too many." Lu Ran took out another elemental core, this one from a Middle Legend Ice Elemental God, making the Emperor Penguin’s eyes turn red as well. Being a Lower Legend being itself, even dreaming of a Lower Legend’s burst of resources was as difficult as scaling heaven, let alone ever seeing a Middle Legend’s core.

"What conditions are there to get this?" the Leaf God Bear asked after a moment of silence.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Certainly easier than hunting a Spirit yourself."

The seven Legends looked at each other. Lu Ran had the strength to effortlessly crush the Space Devil God, clearly having the power to oppress and coerce them, yet he was still willing to exchange resources for labor. The Legends began to think, feeling that joining Lu Ran’s forces might indeed be an option.

The only sticking point was that the Chaos Dragon God had also invited them when they achieved Legend, as they were all Beast Gods. However, they had declined for various reasons.

Now that Lu Ran and the Chaos Dragon God were adversaries, by siding with Lu Ran and the Plant Faction, they would inevitably offend the Chaos Dragon God, a factor they had to consider.

Honestly, they weren’t very convinced that the Four Great Dragon Gods were still around... However, at least the Divine Tree still stood behind Lu Ran, so the power gap between the two sides wouldn’t be too vast. Plus, Lu Ran’s strength was unfathomable, and now with the Divine Dragon Affiliation taking sides, the seven Legends weighed up the gains and losses.

"King." Until, the free-spirited Cloud Sea Holy Bird was the first to blush and declare, "I also want to be Advanced."

The Legends: ?

...

In the end, the seven Legends couldn’t escape the carrot and stick and chose to join the Beast Training Empire. The task Lu Ran gave them was simple: to expand their influence as much as possible, subjugate extraordinary beings, and lay the foundation for Lu Ran’s imminent rule over the Star-Moon Continent.

This job was indeed simple, which assured the Legends. Seeing this, the Divine Deer and Pine God sighed inwardly.

Lu Ran’s resources were not so easy to obtain. They hoped that these Legends wouldn’t regret their choice later on.

Before expanding his territory, Lu Ran had another Legendary being he wanted to invite. This individual was the creator of the Imperial Jade Seal, and consulting its thoughts might help Lu Ran upgrade the Jade Seal to Super Divine Level.

Temple of Dream God!

The current residence of the Dream-Wish God. Suddenly, cracks appeared one after another inside the temple, awakening the Dream God.

Lu Ran walked out from the space crack first, causing the Dream-Wish God’s pupils to contract. Then Liu Hua, Yun Bao, Mr. Husky, King of Sudden Death, Dark Crow, the Space Demon Puppet, the seven Legends, and several Affiliations all filed out from the space cracks, over a dozen Legendary beings, leaving the Dream-Wish God almost breathless.

"So it was just a nightmare." It fell back to sleep without further concern.
