"Fuck!"
John Clisson gritted his teeth, his face grim. "Wouldn't it be better to just let it go?"
As the leader of the Beautiful Country, asking him to personally apologize to Ao Yuan was worse than killing him.
Furthermore, even if he went, Ao Yuan might not agree.
"Makes sense! How can we, the leaders of our nations, stoop to apologize to a beast?" Sanben Yitian also repeatedly shook his head, stating it was impossible.
His relationship with Great Xia was good on the surface, but very poor in secret. If he went, he would inevitably be subservient to Great Xia from then on, making any communication with them awkward.
"What about you all?" Elder Long's expression was calm as he turned his gaze to the leaders of the other countries, his expectations for the leaders of the Beautiful Country and Fusang Country evident.
The leaders of the other countries exchanged glances, their desires clearly visible in their eyes. However, when their gazes shifted to the Beautiful Country and Fusang Country, they all fell silent. They could certainly ask Ao Yuan for help, but doing so would mean a direct break with the Beautiful Country and Fusang Country. Moreover, Ao Yuan had specifically requested the Beautiful Country to seek his assistance, so they might not even be considered. Thinking this, the leaders of many nations shook their heads with regret, firmly stating their positions.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"For our national leaders to beg a beast for help is absolutely impossible!"
"Let's just forget about this matter!"
"We'll discuss it another time!"
After John Clisson of the Beautiful Country finished speaking, the leaders of the various countries withdrew without saying anything further.
"Fuck! How dare a mere beast act like this!"
After hanging up the video call, John Clisson became furious again. "He still dares to demand an apology from me? I am the leader of the most magnificent nation on Blue Star, the Beautiful Country. Who dares to treat me like this!"
"Don't you think that without you, our human nations will be unable to cope?"
John Clisson gritted his teeth and then made a phone call.
"Leader, is it true that the Guardian Beast of Great Xia has agreed to intervene?"
As soon as the call was connected, the surprised voice on the other end made John Clisson's slightly relaxed expression darken again. "Fuck, don't you have any ability at all?"
"You only think about others helping. What if Ao Yuan didn't exist on our Blue Star?"
"If you can't defend against them, then strengthen your defenses! I don't believe they can attack our Beautiful Country's territory under the suppression of overwhelming military might!"
…
Meanwhile.
Inside the Dragon Palace.
Ao Yuan had finished his evolution. Approximately 70,000 evolution points had leveled him up by one, and he had also drawn many items from it. However, looking at Ao Yuan's expressionless face, it was clear that the rewards he obtained this time were not good.
"System, do you have a grudge against me!"
"This is a full ten thousand evolution points, and you only managed to get these things out of it?"
Ao Yuan sighed silently at the end. With ten thousand evolution points, besides drawing some pills, he hadn't obtained any talent abilities. He didn't know if his talent abilities were already full, or what. Logically, ten thousand evolution points should be enough to draw at least one skill, even for an unlucky person.
"So sad."
"I'll just fill my stomach to get rid of this bad mood."
With no other choice, Ao Yuan quietly headed towards the small world. Now that Great Xia provided a massive amount of food daily, Dai Xiaomei and Mozi were not as strict with him. He could even enter the small world as he pleased.
"This small world is quite good under Mozi's cultivation."
Ao Yuan, who hadn't entered the small world for a long time, couldn't help but praise it upon seeing the scene within. The world was no longer dim and obscure as before. Grass was faintly sprouting on the ground, and in the distance, Ao Yuan saw a sapling as tall as a person, glowing green.
"Eat first!"
After a brief look, Ao Yuan withdrew his gaze. The changes in the world were clearly less important to Ao Yuan than food.
While Ao Yuan was diligently eating to replenish his evolution points, in the Pacific Rim region.
After ending their calls, the leaders of various countries used this opportunity to strengthen their defenses. Although most of the monsters were heading towards the Beautiful Country, it was not acceptable for them to have no defenses at all. Under heavy defenses, although monsters were attacking, they were easily repelled by the military strength of many countries.
"Strange."
Sanben Yitian watched the video of the Fusang soldiers defending against monsters, a deep doubt flashing in his eyes. He felt that the monsters' offensive was not as fierce as before.
"Did they all go to the Beautiful Country?"
After pondering for a long time with a frown, Sanben Yitian arrived at what he believed to be the correct answer.
"Hahaha!"
Upon thinking of this possibility, Sanben Yitian couldn't help but laugh. He and the Beautiful Country had a relationship like that of an elder brother and a younger brother, but he was also happy to see the Beautiful Country attracting the majority of the firepower. This not only meant that Fusang would be safe, but it would also weaken the Beautiful Country. The reason he was happy was simply because he knew that the relationships between countries were ultimately about the pursuit of profit. If the Beautiful Country became so powerful that it could look down on all other countries, then he would no longer need a "younger brother."
"Continue monitoring, and don't let the monsters seize any opportunity!"
In a great mood, Sanben Yitian gave the order and hummed as he returned home. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in days. Now that the Beautiful Country was drawing most of the fire, he could finally get a good night's sleep. Many leaders of other countries shared the same sentiment. All of this was fundamentally because, in their view, demonic beasts were no different from the monsters in these small worlds—mere lowly beasts, not noble humans. How could they possibly have human schemes?
Only Great Xia.
The defense force, composed of demon kings, demon beasts, and many Great Xia warriors, did not relax. They remained vigilant as always.
Time passed, and darkness spread. It was already late at night. The first half of the night was uneventful. Everything seemed quiet and peaceful. However, as midnight approached and human drowsiness peaked, an anomaly quietly arose.
"Ah~"
In the Fusang country's stationed army, a soldier sitting on the watchtower couldn't help but yawn. "It's late at night, everyone else is sleeping, but I can't go to sleep." He looked at the calm surveillance screen in front of him, where soldiers were dozing off with their heads tilted, and grumbled. "The night has passed so peacefully. It's almost dawn, how can there be any monster attacks now?"
"These monsters aren't fools." The soldier slapped his cheeks and grumbled. "Maybe… I should go to sleep for a bit too?"
Once this thought arose, it became like a curse, firmly lingering in his mind. "I'll go sleep for a while then." Looking again at the silent dark night, the soldier could no longer resist. He closed his eyes. In the silent night, he soon fell into a peaceful sleep, snoring loudly.
After another ten minutes or so.
In the silent night, the sound of waves crashing against rocks appeared from nowhere, like the whisper of a devil in the darkness. The monster attack had begun!
