Humanity's resounding victory! Bumper harvest!

The village of the dog people was surrounded by sparse fences. Inside, there was a moderately sized flat ground with a central bonfire and several grass huts and earthen mounds scattered around it. Many dog people were gathered around the bonfire, some sitting, some standing, some walking. Among the houses, there was a stone structure several meters tall, guarded by higher-level dog people wielding weapons. It was evidently a very important place. At the same time, a faint and unpleasant smell wafted through the air, causing all the humans to wrinkle their brows.

Shen Meng and Artemis exchanged a glance. Then Artemis straightened her proud figure, raised her giant bow, and drew back the bowstring, conjuring up fiery arrows.

"By the decree of the Emperor, the barbarians from beyond the domain have trespassed upon our holy land."

"They shall be purged!"

"They shall be purged!"

The farmers all shouted, brandishing their hoes as they charged towards the dog people's village. Artemis's fiery arrows struck first, exploding amidst the crowd of dog people and instantly killing several of them.

Shen Meng frowned slightly, covering her nose lightly with disgust. "Filthy creatures, burdened with sins, the Emperor has shown you the path to the underworld!"

Then, she took light steps, seemingly walking on air, and slowly approached the dog people's village. A mysterious aura enveloped her, shimmering and entrancing.

The commotion caused by the humans had already alerted all the dog people. They quickly gathered into groups and attacked Shen Meng.

One of the dog people mages waved a flag and cast several fireballs.

However, Shen Meng's figure flickered lightly, morphing into six identical illusions. The fireballs only hit one of the illusions.

The six Shen Mengs took positions around the area, their expressions indifferent as they spoke with the authority of the Emperor.

"You barbarians not only lack intelligence but also have tainted and impure bloodlines."

"The Emperor's benevolence shall cleanse your impurities with the waters of the underworld. Kneel and give thanks!"

In the eyes of all the dog people, an endless stream of underworld water seemed to appear from the void, flooding the entire land. Many dog people felt as if something was being extracted from their bodies and minds, causing them to unconsciously kneel down. However, a few dog people with exceptionally strong wills and 5-star strength resisted desperately.

The six Shen Mengs lightly swept over these few stronger dog people.

"Those who persist in stubbornness shall forever be damned, never to be reincarnated!"

The endless underworld water disappeared from the void, revealing a bridge-like structure that seemed ethereal and unpredictable. The few strong 5-star dog people felt their souls being pulled away, losing all signs of life in an instant.

At this moment, the farmers, under the cover of Artemis's fiery arrows, also charged into the dog people's village.

"Barbarians from beyond the domain, burdened with sins, this impure land shall be cleansed with the flames of justice!"

Artemis's giant bow transformed into six blazing arrows, shooting into the sky. Instantly, torrents of flames descended, spreading throughout the dog people's village and burning away the sins. The foul smell in the area gradually faded away as the impure land was consumed by flames.

Artemis continuously fired her fiery arrows, killing a large number of dog people. The farmers fought bravely, unstoppable in their advance.

All the humans showed no mercy towards these barbarians who invaded their holy land, filled with disgust.

However, they knew that the Emperor was merciful. These barbarians would only suffer physical death; their souls would be cleansed of sins and impurities, entering the cycle of reincarnation. They were truly helping these barbarians.

These barbarians should not harbor resentment but be thankful for the Emperor's kindness!

...

Not long after, the human warriors had completely annihilated all the resisting dog people. At this moment, they surrounded the central stone structure in the village.

A strong dog people chieftain slowly walked out. The dog people warriors and mages who had previously guarded him had all been killed by the humans. He looked at the crowd, tightly gripping his large sword, unyielding and fearless.

"You heretics shall face the wrath of our gods!"

Artemis coldly looked at the dog people chieftain.

"Barbarians, abandon your so-called faith and do not become minions of the evil gods!"

"The Emperor regards all beings as suffering. If you surrender, you may be spared today!"

"If you continue to resist, you will be cast into the abyss, never to be reincarnated. Your evil gods cannot save you either!"

However, the dog people chieftain remained unmoved. He laughed in anger, "We are the children of the gods, watched by the gods. You heretics dare to invade the children of the gods in the sight of the gods!"

"And you even attempt to seduce me into betraying the true god!"

"You, and your so-called Emperor, shall all suffer divine punishment!"

"The wrath of the gods of the Shendi Continent shall engulf you, turning you into ashes!"

Only the dog people chieftain, wielding his sword, sent forth gusts of wind blades. The wind blades, with their sharp momentum, rushed towards the humans.

Just then, Yanjiao rushed out, wielding her hoe to block the incoming wind blades. Yanget also charged forward, smashing the wind blades aimed at others.

Both of them had already reached the critical point of breaking through to 6 stars.

After this battle, they both entered the 6-star realm.

The remaining humans also experienced significant growth in their spiritual energy.

"Stubborn fools!"

"The divine might of the Emperor does not allow impure creatures like you to defile it!"

"The Emperor's supremacy transcends all realms. Under his divine might, all are insignificant ants."

"Since you are determined to be minions of the evil gods, then I shall send you to meet your god!"

Artemis spoke coldly.

Then, the farmers surged forward, killing the dog people chieftain.

With the death of the dog people chieftain, the entire battle came to an end.

The humans emerged victorious!

...

In You Qian's mansion.

You Qian lay on his recliner, almost falling asleep.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of spiritual energy within him. Then, his aura erupted, and his level rose from 3 stars to 4 stars!

"Is it over?"

You Qian was no longer sleepy. He immediately sat up and opened the Leader's Log to check the situation.

Unfortunately, this battle took place outside his territory. Otherwise, You Qian could have enjoyed the exciting battle while eating, using the Leader's Stone.

"Not bad gains!"

You Qian carefully examined the string of rewards listed in the Leader's Log. This was the first time the humans had fought a significant factional battle, and they emerged victorious.

You Qian himself gained a considerable amount of spiritual energy, allowing him to level up. Additionally, there were many dropped skill books and magic crystals.

Although he didn't get any elemental stones, he obtained three pieces of spiritual energy equipment embedded with elemental stones according to the Leader's Log. This made YouQian feel quite satisfied.

The altar of the human tribe needed four elemental stones to upgrade. With the spiritual energy equipment

 he obtained previously, he now had enough elemental stones.

As long as he obtained one more elemental stone or a piece of spiritual energy equipment embedded with an elemental stone, the human tribe altar could be upgraded!

"My human tribe is indeed formidable!"

YouQian smiled contentedly.

Then he began to inventory the resources obtained by the human tribesmen through hunting, stored in his personal warehouse. There were nearly a thousand skill books, including hundreds that were traded for steel with Rongrong.

The remaining skill books were put up for sale in the "Trading Area."
