Many countries made the same decision as the United States.
After the spiritual energy resurgence, ancient battlefields similar to those in Daxia appeared in various countries. However, none of them had disclosed these findings after their explorations.
The reason was simple.
Although these areas were perilous, the gains obtained were proportionate to the risks.
Under such circumstances, how could they willingly give others the opportunity to gain benefits?
Perhaps they would change their minds in the future, but only if their respective countries could no longer explore them.
As countries began to act, Han Yibang's remarks were already making headlines in various media outlets.
Unsurprisingly, his statements caused widespread discussion among the public of countries across Blue Star.
Some expressed disdain towards him.
Others believed he had made a wise decision.
Clearly, this did not affect Han Yibang in the slightest.
At this moment, Han Yibang was holding a blueprint for a spirit gathering array and began to search for items imbued with spiritual energy within his own country.
He intended to build a spirit gathering array to aid his soldiers in cultivation, just like Daxia.
Daxia.
Regarding the uproar caused by Han Yibang in various countries, Daxia merely issued a statement.
They openly confirmed Han Yibang's words, directly admitting the existence of spirit gathering arrays in Daxia.
Upon receiving the news, countries and their citizens were profoundly shocked.
After all!
These words undeniably proved that Han Yibang's previous statements were not false.
Leaders of countries on Blue Star immediately dispatched their soldiers to thoroughly investigate these spirit gathering arrays.
Of course, this was a story for later.
On this day, having issued its statement, Daxia paid no further attention to online news, focusing instead on preparations for the ancient battlefield.
Although they had explored it once before, and Ao Yuan's participation this time was a new factor, preparations were still necessary.
Ao Yuan was also busy.
After using all his evolution points, in just this single day.
Ao Yuan gained approximately 10,000 evolution points from food.
"Full and well-rested, conserve energy, time for sleep!"
Ao Yuan muttered and turned towards his soft dragon bed.
The next morning!
Ao Yuan woke up early. He wasn't awakened naturally.
Instead, he was startled awake by the system's notification sound.
【Ding, Congratulations to the Host for maintaining the image of Daxia's totem, gaining 3000 faith points.】
【Ding, Congratulations to the Host for maintaining the image of Daxia's totem, gaining 5000 faith points.】
【Ding, Congratulations to the Host for maintaining the image of Daxia's totem, gaining 10,000 faith points.】
"How did I suddenly get so many faith points?"
Once Ao Yuan was somewhat awake, he was very confused.
However, since he was awake, Ao Yuan also wanted to see his current changes.
"System, open the attribute panel!"
Ao Yuan silently spoke, and a semi-transparent attribute panel, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.
【Host: Ao Yuan】
【Race: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon】
【Realm: Spirit Sea Realm Seventh Heaven】
【Physique: 66 (Ten Thousand Jin Strength)】
【Length: 7.0 meters】
【Talents: Devour, Dragon Might, Dragon Flame, Cloud Control, Myriad Miles Body, Gale, Lightning Summon, Dragon God's Claw, Weak Water, Healing】
【Dragon Envoys: Dai Xiaomei, Mòzi】
【Evolution Points: 10,000】
【Faith Points: 500,000,000】
【Items: Eye of Insight, 9 Dragon Blood Pills, 10 Beast Pills, 1 Blood Reversal Pill, 1 Bloodline Pill】
"So many faith points!"
Ao Yuan scanned them one by one, nodding with satisfaction at his current strength. However, when he noticed the faith points, Ao Yuan's brow furrowed deeply.
Five hundred million.
Remember, a single Transformation Pill only required one billion. When did he accumulate so many faith points without realizing it!
Little did he know that after the spirit gathering array incident was revealed by Han Yibang and confirmed by Daxia.
Ao Yuan had become deified in the hearts of people across various countries on Blue Star.
They all believed Ao Yuan was sent by heaven to aid Daxia.
With this thought, not only the citizens of Daxia but also descendants of Daxia living abroad placed immense faith in Ao Yuan.
Even some citizens of other countries had begun to believe in Ao Yuan.
There was no other reason!
Compared to the things they worshipped locally, Ao Yuan was tangible and visible!
"What's going on!"
Ao Yuan smacked his lips, bewildered. "If I keep saving, I'll be able to afford a Transformation Pill!"
Thinking this, Ao Yuan cast his doubts aside.
For him, it didn't matter where these faith points came from.
As long as they were his, that was enough.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was Bai Feng calling.
Ao Yuan saw the caller ID and answered without hesitation.
Bai Feng's solemn voice came through the phone: "Your Excellency, Guardian Beast of the Nation, do you have time? I'll come to see you, and then we'll head to the ancient battlefield together."
Ao Yuan said in a deep voice, "Come to Tianchi."
"Okay!"
Not long after hanging up, Bai Feng called again, informing Ao Yuan that he had arrived in the Tianchi area.
Upon receiving the news, Ao Yuan immediately rushed out of the Dragon Palace.
As Ao Yuan arrived above Tianchi, he immediately spotted Daxia's special aircraft waiting nearby.
Bai Feng and Ye Nantian were standing beside the aircraft.
These two were old acquaintances of Ao Yuan.
As soon as they saw Ao Yuan, they immediately walked over.
"Your Excellency, Guardian Beast of the Nation."
"Dragon God."
Both greeted Ao Yuan in unison.
"Hmm~"
Ao Yuan nodded slightly and then looked behind them. "Are you two coming alone this time?"
"Yes."
Bai Feng nodded. "That ancient battlefield is extremely dangerous. If someone with insufficient strength goes."
"To put it bluntly, they'd just be cannon fodder."
"Considering this, Elder Long arranged for Ye Nantian and me to accompany you."
Ao Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this. Elder Long's arrangement suited him perfectly.
Otherwise, he would have to spend energy protecting Daxia's soldiers. While he wouldn't mind usually,
it would be a tremendous pressure in a place where even he was unsure of his own safety.
"Shall we go now then?" Ye Nantian said, itching for action.
With Ao Yuan's addition, and having witnessed Ao Yuan's mighty display in the small world, his confidence soared.
"We can," Ao Yuan smiled and boarded the special aircraft with them.
Rumble!
As Bai Feng and Ye Nantian boarded, the sound of the helicopter's rotors began.
The two humans and one beast sped towards the Qinling Mountains in the special aircraft.
Meanwhile.
Countries around the world.
Their destinations were different from Ao Yuan's party.
However, they were all heading to the ancient battlefields discovered by their respective nations.
Of course, they were also bringing their countries' elites.
As for what...
they would discover in these ancient battlefields.
No one knew...
