Zheng Dong also showed no fear, the illusory figure of the Candle Dragon growing more solid as he unleashed the full might of its bloodline.
Time around him seemed to come to a standstill.
All the elemental wind energy arrows that shot towards him slowed to a crawl.
Zheng Dong moved his hands, and the roar of a celestial dragon echoed through the heavens and earth.
More elemental wind energy arrows were shattered by him.
One by one, the arrows of elemental wind energy rained down onto the ground, dissipating into the world.
Feng Nan's expression turned solemn; he was now serious.
The Wind God's Bow in his hand pulsed with light, and an elemental wind energy arrow, wreathed in the phantom image of the Wind God, shot towards Zheng Dong.
This arrow's power was more than ten times greater.
It could kill even a quasi-divine transcendent being with a single shot.
Zheng Dong did not dare to be careless, and he once again utilized the bloodline power of the Earth Titan.
Walls of earth rose from the ground, blocking Zheng Dong.
These walls were as sturdy as steel fortresses, incredibly tough, capable of withstanding even bombs.
On each wall, it seemed an illusory image of an Earth Titan roared incessantly.
This elemental wind energy arrow pierced through wall after wall. By the time it reached Zheng Dong, its power and speed were greatly diminished, and he shattered it with a single punch.
Feng Nan wiped the sweat from his forehead. His continuous use of the Wind God's Bow had drained him considerably. If the battle continued, his body would likely collapse first.
"Zheng Dong, you are more formidable than I anticipated. I am no match for you, but in a fight to the death, I might not lose!" Feng Nan declared.
He still had trump cards he hadn't used, reserved for dire situations, and there was no need to employ them against Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong smiled, unconcerned.
Feng Nan had his hidden cards, and so did he; he possessed many means of self-preservation.
In the end, it was uncertain who would win or lose.
After all, in a battle to the death, it wasn't just about strength, but also experience and luck.
A single mistake could be fatal.
If he were to deploy divine artifacts like the Chalice of Faith or the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, defeating Feng Nan would be simple.
However, he would not easily resort to such powerful weapons.
After the sparring match concluded, Zhao Pu, the legendary figure, arranged accommodations for Zheng Dong and Feng Nan in the Imperial Capital Base City.
The living conditions were quite decent, with independent suites.
It was important to note that many people were currently crammed into dormitories, without private rooms.
Even in the Imperial Capital Base City, the pressure of life was immense, and the environment was barely survivable.
Across the land of Yanhuang, transcendent beings were rampant. Stepping outside a base city meant a potential encounter with armies from the Totem Kingdoms.
Yanhuang had lost its absolute control over this territory.
Unless Yanhuang could produce a Mythical Beast Tamer, or possess dozens of Beast Tamers whose strength rivaled that of quasi-divine transcendent beings, it would be difficult to change the current situation.
Currently, among those in the "God Creation Plan" introduced by the Elder Council, Zheng Dong and Feng Nan held the most potential.
As for whether anyone else would gain fortuitous encounters in the future, that depended on fate.
Relatively speaking, it was already commendable that Yanhuang could maintain the normal operation of its various base cities.
Many countries abroad had completely given up, becoming vassals of powerful Totem Kingdoms.
Not only were they forced to build temples and worship the quasi-divine transcendent beings of these Totem Kingdoms, but they also risked becoming slaves or food for these Totem Kingdoms.
Of course, for Zheng Dong, this also presented an opportunity.
He could also collect more faith power.
After waiting for a week in the Imperial Capital Base City, Zheng Dong, as he had hoped, obtained the manufacturing data for the Forbidden Bomb.
He also acquired the manufacturing data for the God-Sealed Bomb.
"Zheng Dong, this data must be kept confidential and must not be leaked. If it falls into the hands of ambitious individuals, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Additionally, to enhance the combat power of your mechanical pets, I have also applied for the research data for the latest Mechanical Laser Cannon, Ion Energy Cannon, and Star Annihilation Cannon.
Whether you can convert them into actual combat power depends on you. I hope you can create miracles and become a Mythical Beast Tamer as soon as possible. Yanhuang needs a Mythical Beast Tamer!" said Zhao Pu, the legendary figure.
Zheng Dong was surprised that Zhao Pu, the legendary figure, would provide him with the data for the Mechanical Laser Cannon, Ion Energy Cannon, and Star Annihilation Cannon.
If Jingjing had to research them herself, it would likely take a considerable amount of time.
Now, it was much more convenient.
Jingjing was destined to become the strongest mechanical pet, a starship mother.
After thanking Zhao Pu, the legendary figure, Zheng Dong handed the data to Jingjing.
Once Jingjing had input all the data, she destroyed it.
Subsequently, she began attempting to manufacture the Forbidden Bomb.
For this purpose, Zheng Dong did not leave the Imperial Capital Base City.
He remained there and purchased a large quantity of materials.
These materials were not only needed for manufacturing the Forbidden Bomb but also for the Mechanical Laser Cannon, Ion Energy Cannon, and Star Annihilation Cannon.
Of course, many materials were not available for purchase and required leveraging connections and status.
Zheng Dong was now a member of the God Creation Plan, and with Zhao Pu's assistance, he could naturally obtain all the necessary materials.
However, many of these materials did not meet the required standards.
After all, Yanhuang's own Star Annihilation Cannon was still in the experimental stage.
If the Star Annihilation Cannon were successfully manufactured, Yanhuang would initiate the Sky City Project.
That is, building a base city in space.
Unfortunately, the technology was not yet mature.
Furthermore, there were still many space beasts outside of Blue Star, and without powerful protection, the Sky City would become food for these space beasts.
In other words, Jingjing would still need to research various new materials herself.
Fortunately, this was not an insurmountable challenge for Jingjing.
However, it would require a significant amount of time.
After more than two months of effort, Jingjing successfully converted the Forbidden Bomb into her combat capability.
She could now manufacture Forbidden Bombs at any time and any place.
Even the more difficult God-Sealed Bomb could be manufactured.
However, the conditions were more stringent, requiring the relevant materials to be prepared in advance.
Jingjing ultimately manufactured three God-Sealed Bombs, which could be used to deal with quasi-divine transcendent beings.
Additionally, Jingjing had consumed and mastered the Mechanical Laser Cannon and the Ion Energy Cannon.
She could now launch attacks using the Mechanical Laser Cannon and the Ion Energy Cannon.
She could also transform herself into a super-large caliber Mechanical Laser Cannon and an Ion Energy Cannon.
Next, Zheng Dong left the Imperial Capital and prepared to travel to the Glorious Kingdom.
This time, there were no planes available for travel; he had to rely on Zheng Dong himself piloting Jingjing, who had transformed into a battleship form.
Furthermore, the Glorious Kingdom was even farther from Yanhuang, requiring him to traverse several Totem Kingdoms along the way.
Of course, Zheng Dong could also take this opportunity to collect faith power.
After obtaining a considerable amount of foreign information from the Fire God Cult, he set off alone for the Glorious Kingdom.
Jingjing, transformed into a blue battleship, sliced through the sky.
Zheng Dong soon left Yanhuang and entered the territory of a Totem Kingdom.
Totem Kingdoms rarely paid attention to battleships flying overhead.
Unless they encountered a bored, totem-level transcendent being, they generally wouldn't encounter danger.
Zheng Dong smoothly traversed six or seven Totem Kingdoms.
He entered the territory of the Golden Sands Kingdom.
The Golden Sands Kingdom was originally very wealthy, with oil fields everywhere.
But now, even with oil, it couldn't be sold.
Their own Beast Tamers were few, and their technological mastery was not strong. Facing the covetous Totem Kingdoms around them,
the King of the Golden Sands Kingdom directly chose to pledge allegiance to the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom among them.
The Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom possessed five quasi-divine transcendent beings, making it the strongest among the many surrounding Totem Kingdoms.
The leader of the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom, the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard, was close to condensing a divine personality, and its strength was not inferior to Zheng Dong's.
Zheng Dong arrived above the Golden Sands Kingdom, perusing the information collected by the Fire God Cult.
The Golden Sands Kingdom also had a considerable population, making it one of his targets for collecting faith power.
Without hesitation, Zheng Dong piloted the battleship towards the royal palace of the Golden Sands Kingdom.
The milky-white royal palace appeared luxurious and grand.
The street in front of the palace, which should have been the most prosperous, was now deserted, with very few people.
Zheng Dong used spatial teleportation to appear on the street in front of the royal palace.
Jingjing also transformed, taking on the appearance of a cute anime girl, following closely behind Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong walked directly towards the royal palace.
He encountered no obstruction along the way.
It was only at the entrance of the royal palace that a squad of guards stopped Zheng Dong.
"You can't come in here, get out!" a guard shouted at Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong ignored him, used spatial teleportation, and brought Jingjing into the royal palace.
He then quickly found the King.
The King was quite diligent, often contributing to the royal lineage.
When Zheng Dong saw the King,
the King was startled and almost had a heart attack.
"You... you... who are you?" the King stammered, pointing at Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong offered no explanation and produced the Chalice of Faith.
The Chalice of Faith was more effective against ordinary people.
Within two minutes, the King became Zheng Dong's fervent believer and decided to build a temple for Zheng Dong within the Golden Sands Kingdom.
Zheng Dong also took the opportunity to have the King summon all the important ministers of the Golden Sands Kingdom.
Controlling only the King was not enough; he also needed to brainwash these ministers.
This would ensure that the entire Golden Sands Kingdom would become his followers.
Finally, it was time to deal with the Totem Kingdoms surrounding the Golden Sands Kingdom.
The first target was the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom.
From the information provided by the Fire God Cult, Zheng Dong learned that the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard of the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom was very powerful, and defeating it would not be easy.
It would be best to have helpers to act together.
Zheng Dong pondered for a moment and decided to first target the other quasi-divine beings of the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom.
Once these quasi-divine beings were brainwashed, they would naturally obey him and join him in confronting the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard.
Using mimicry and disguise, Zheng Dong disguised himself as a tiger lizard and entered the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom.
The Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom was vast, its area even comparable to the former Yanhuang.
Within the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom, there were also many Beast Tamers.
These Beast Tamers were not native Beast Tamers of Blue Star, but like the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom, they came from another world.
However, the Beast Tamers of the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom were not very strong, and their status within the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom was also very low.
Many of the dirty and menial tasks were performed by these Beast Tamers.
Furthermore, the pets contracted by these Beast Tamers were descendants of the powerful transcendent beings within the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom.
These "beast second-generation" contracted with Beast Tamers primarily to utilize the beast-taming space for faster growth.
Within the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom, Zheng Dong also discovered many temples.
These temples were dedicated to the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard.
It seemed that the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard held absolute authority within the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom.
Zheng Dong soon arrived at the largest city in the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom, Tiger Lizard City.
Tens of millions of tiger lizards, millions of human Beast Tamers, and a large number of slaves lived here.
Slaves were mostly ordinary people, holding the lowest status in the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom.
However, to obtain faith power, the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard also prohibited other tiger lizards from randomly killing slaves.
Upon entering Tiger Lizard City, Zheng Dong found it to be in disarray.
It seemed to have just experienced a major battle.
Many buildings within Tiger Lizard City had collapsed.
The bodies of tiger lizard guards were scattered everywhere.
Zheng Dong even found many totem-level tiger lizards dead on the streets.
What was going on?
Had the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard gone mad and attacked its own people?
Zheng Dong walked towards the royal palace of the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard and found that more than half of the royal palace had also collapsed.
He also saw a divine-level tiger lizard that had lost a claw, suffering immensely.
Zheng Dong quickly discovered the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard and several other quasi-divine tiger lizards fighting in the air.
Their opponent was surprisingly only one person.
This was a bird-like human with thirteen pairs of snow-white wings, resembling an angel.
However, Zheng Dong sensed that it was not a pure-blooded angel but a mixed-blood human.
It had golden hair that was naturally curly and a blank expression as it looked at the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard and other quasi-divine transcendent beings, showing no fear whatsoever.
In its hand, it held a golden longsword, and it wore angelic divine armor, standing proudly in the air, majestic and imposing.
Zheng Dong was astonished.
Where had this guy come from?
He had no information about this individual in the data he possessed.
That golden longsword and angelic divine armor were clearly divine artifacts.
Possessing two divine artifacts, it was no wonder this fellow dared to come to the Tiger Lizard Totem Kingdom to challenge them alone.
He stared at the Divine Blood Tiger Lizard and other quasi-divine transcendent beings, his voice chillingly stating:
"Submit, and you will have the opportunity to become the first batch of my divine generals. Otherwise, you will die!"
The Divine Blood Tiger Lizard looked disdainfully at the bird-like human before it.
Even with its life threatened, it had no intention of surrendering.
"Kill me or flay me, do as you wish. Even if you kill us, you won't be unscathed, and your dream of becoming the next Angelic God will never come true!"
"Hmph, I am already the Angelic God!" the bird-like human snorted and raised its golden longsword.
He was originally just an ordinary Beast Tamer, an outer member of the Taylor family, named Taylor Peter.
However, he was fortunate enough to inherit the legacy of the Angelic God, and his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, making him comparable to quasi-divine transcendent beings.
By using the Angelic Sword and the Angelic Divine Armor, two divine artifacts, he could even slaughter most quasi-divine transcendent beings.
However, his memory had become distorted.
He could no longer distinguish whether he was Taylor Peter or the Angelic God.
His spirit and consciousness were being devoured by the true Angelic God.
The Angelic God was also using his body to revive.
However, it still required a massive amount of faith power.
For this reason, he had controlled numerous countries along the way.
The Glorious Kingdom was also under his control, and numerous temples had been built there.
And all of this had happened only a week or two ago.
In the current environment of information scarcity, the Fire God Cult had not gathered relevant information.
However, this disrupted Zheng Dong's plans.
His objective was the resources related to the World Tree collected by the Taylor family.
These resources were now very likely in the hands of Taylor Peter.
