"Speaking of which, this place is too run-down, it's not comfortable living here."
Lin Tian pondered for a moment.
Now that his quality of life had improved, he naturally wasn't very accustomed to that previous lifestyle.
These past few days, he had been staying in the underground palace to stabilize his data.
Now everything had stabilized.
He should also make plans for the next step.
Lin Tian ordered, "First set up a large-scale teleportation magic array, then we can directly teleport all supplies and people over."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Catherine replied respectfully.
One-Eyed Owl looked impatient, "Excellent, shall we go explore the situation first? We don't know much about the Divine Continent, only heard before that those living there are very strong beings, with many demigods."
There are many divine courts on the Divine Continent, very complex.
The gods there often go to the mortal world to freeload, causing many demigods to scatter.
This barren land region is different.
There's only Heaven as a deity, and with Heaven's rules and regulations, demigods naturally won't appear.
Joan of Arc also came from the Divine Continent.
Lin Tian hummed in acknowledgment, "Let's go explore the situation first, let's go."
"Should we just go like this? Or do we need to disguise ourselves?"
Elizabeth said somewhat warily.
Because she had almost no information about the Divine Continent.
Lin Tian was the same.
But he said, "There's no need at all, we'll just go directly to find the strongest empire's leader, declare sovereignty, and plan to establish an empire, it's that simple."
"This..."
Elizabeth showed a bitter smile for the first time, somewhat unaccustomed to Lin Tian now.
Before, he was very cautious.
After a long while.
Catherine first set up one endpoint of the teleportation array, only needing to set up the other endpoint after going to the Divine Continent.
Injecting magic power would activate the teleportation.
Then Lin Tian went to the dragon's nest, "Dragon Mother, Your Highness, are you free? Would you like to come play with us?"
The Flame Dragon Mother who was coiled sleeping on a cliff wall opened her eyes.
After discovering it was Lin Tian, she transformed into a demi-human and came to his side, "Go play? Where?"
"The Divine Continent, I remember you said the ancestral nest of the dragon clan seems to be there, we can go take a look while we're at it."
Lin Tian said calmly.
The ancestral nest was equivalent to the oldest and largest dragon's nest.
There were ancient dragons of all elements there.
Hearing this.
The Flame Dragon Mother nodded, having been completely convinced by Lin Tian's strength in the goblin royal city battle a few days ago.
Before, she might have still felt belonging to the ancestral nest, hoping to return one day.
Now, staying by Lin Tian's side was much better than returning to that place and being subservient.
"Father, why are we going to the Divine Continent?"
Little Black nearby also asked curiously.
Lin Tian lovingly touched her hardened black horns that had grown, "Of course we're moving, you can come play too."
Spark was also listening carefully nearby.
The Purple-Gold Dragon Mother also became interested, "Moving? Moving to the Divine Continent?! There are many demigods there, is there room for us?"
"There is, if they can live comfortably, if not, we'll forcibly seize a territory, and they'll know the absolute terror from the barren lands..."
Lin Tian's eyes flickered with ghostly fire, saying coldly.
He wouldn't indulge anyone.
Then, with these four ancient dragons as transportation, they could bring everyone to the Divine Continent together.
This would save a lot of time.
He gathered Elizabeth, One-Eyed Owl, Catherine, three goblins, and Georgia and Osius.
Riding the sky-covering giant dragons, they soared into the air!
Rolling up towering fierce winds!
Flying toward the Divine Continent.
...
Lin Tian sat on Little Black's back, looking at the Great Tomb's demonized forest below.
Suddenly he noticed the man-eating eagle standing on the giant tree platform, waving at him.
In the distance was a misty white snowfield.
And that extremely familiar goblin valley.
This deepened Lin Tian's memories even more.
Every bit of his past struggle to survive flooded his heart.
Finally, he no longer needed to hide.
When passing a village, Veronica looked up with a cold smile, "That guy, could he be going to the Divine Continent? How incredible..."
"What's wrong, darling? Oh? Is that a dragon?"
Rebecca's voice sounded nearby, she had already begged Lucky to secretly use her ability and fallen in love with Veronica again.
The two lived shamelessly in this village.
However, because Rebecca was a succubus, she had been listed by the villagers as someone strictly forbidden for underage children to contact.
Married men too.
Less than half an hour later.
Lin Tian had already arrived above the ruins of the goblin royal city, "It's really been destroyed like this? I never expected it, what a pity, I couldn't fulfill the Headless Knight's dying wish."
At that time, the Headless Knight hoped to protect the goblin empire before dying.
This was also indirectly protecting the land he once guarded.
Unfortunately, it had now become ruins.
"But it's also good, at least there will be no more disputes here."
Lin Tian sighed, his gaze becoming bright and focused as he stared into the distance.
Soon they reached the border area of the no-man's land.
They could still see the vaguely visible insect empire in the distance, now managed by the Ant Queen, having recovered some vitality.
And there was also a powerful guardian.
A variant of the dark butterfly, the light butterfly.
This was the form after the fat caterpillar from before broke out of its cocoon and evolved.
Above the insect empire, a graceful light butterfly girl in phosphorescent silk clothes flapped her wings.
Her ethereal eyes gazed into the distance, "Dragons, and... him? What kind of incredible legend is he going to create again..."
Lin Tian's previous overthrow of the insect queen's rule had already shocked her greatly.
She had completely become a little fan girl.
After flying over the no-man's land.
Lin Tian finally saw scenery he had never seen before!
Rosy clouds and colorful mists, green mountains and clear waters!
Even the air was so refreshing.
"Is this the Divine Continent? It really looks like a place where gods exist."
Georgia and Osius's eyes went wide, exclaiming in amazement.
Hearing this.
Lin Tian suddenly remembered something, "Gods? Hiss... I almost forgot, Elizabeth, big sister, take these first."
He threw two divine cores over.
"What are these?"
Elizabeth held the thing in her hand that was as brilliant as stars, with no visible shape or form, just like a ball of light.
One-Eyed Owl's eyes were full of surprise, "Divine cores?! You're so generous, kid? Aren't you keeping them for yourself?"
"I can establish my own divine court to nurture divine cores, I don't need them for now, but you two probably can't use them yet, you still need to establish faith first."
Lin Tian said calmly.
Establishing faith was equivalent to building temples, churches, monasteries and such.
Then after people began to have faith, one could gain the qualification to use divine cores.
As for others.
They could just plunder some divine cores later.
For now, this made Georgia and Osius very envious, "Can we become gods? We're so envious of big sister, brother Tian! We want some too..."
"Don't worry, you'll have them later, giving them to you now would risk them being stolen."
Lin Tian said helplessly.
Demigods had sensitivity to divine cores, or rather, when combat power reached close to thirty thousand, they all had the qualification to become gods.
The unlock conditions for using divine cores were first faith, second the combat power indicator.
Of course, demigods didn't even need the combat power indicator, ordinary people or monsters did.
One-Eyed Owl said irritably, "What are you two thinking? Can't you already become Titan gods? Don't be too greedy."
"That's true, this is also thanks to brother Tian generously giving us the god-creation blueprints, haha!"
Georgia said with a cheeky grin.
Osius also chimed in, "That's right, unfortunately besides us two, many test subjects either died or were completely ruined, and all the god finger bones were consumed."
Each gene extraction and magical fusion consumed a certain proportion of Titan god finger bones.
With limited raw materials, they naturally couldn't last long.
"Look ahead, finally there's a city, but it's quite small, probably a border town."
One-Eyed Owl pointed to a riverside city in the distance.
It covered about three kilometers.
Lin Tian indicated, "Let's go take a look, and ask about the situation here."
"Whoosh!"
Several dragons began to dive down.
At this moment.
The light-armored soldiers standing guard on the riverside city walls suddenly felt something was wrong, wondering, "Why do I feel so oppressed and uncomfortable?"
"Really, I feel it too, could it be going to rain and the humidity is stifling?"
A nearby soldier also said.
They began looking up at the sky.
Suddenly their whole bodies shivered!
Pointing into the distance, "No good! What is that, what is that!!!"
"It's dragons! Full city alert! Four dragons are attacking from the no-man's land direction!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The soldiers shouted while frantically striking the alarm bell, making piercing, attention-grabbing sounds.
Everyone in the city quickly reacted.
They began rushing to underground shelters one after another.
Because it was a border town that often suffered monster attacks from the no-man's land, this kind of situation was nothing unusual.
After receiving the news, City Lord Ramon was not only unafraid but somewhat delighted, "Ancient dragons? These are treasures, Mr. Bernhard, your team can make a fortune today!"
Standing before him were several men dressed differently.
They all had star emblems on their chests.
They were mythical-level adventurers from the Star Guild, who had previously sensed the huge aura from the barren lands and wanted to sneak over to investigate.
They happened to be passing through Riverside City for rest.
This was why the city lord was so confident. Although his strength was weak at only a few thousand, with a mythical-level adventurer team of over ten thousand in combat power, he felt very secure.
This team even had a record of killing demon kings.
Mere ancient dragons were nothing in their eyes.
"City Lord Ramon, you can tell the residents not to panic and don't need to hide in shelters. Leave these four flying lizards to us."
Adventure team leader Bernhard said confidently.
He led everyone toward the city walls.
Facing four imposing ancient dragons, Bernhard remained very calm, ordering, "Deploy shields."
The white-hatted great wizard in the team immediately began casting magic.
A huge white shield almost blocked the entire town!
Lin Tian was approaching leisurely when his brow furrowed slightly, "Boundary-level magic shield? In such a small city on the Divine Continent, there are actually people who can cast boundary-level magic?!!"
If that were really the case, then it would be troublesome.
It meant the main cities and kings would be even more terrifyingly powerful.
But according to the divine combat power calculations from Heaven's side, top-tier demigods should have at most around twenty-five thousand combat power.
Lin Tian didn't think too much about it, he still needed to see with his own eyes to know.
Riding Little Black, he stopped in the air not far above the city, observing the situation inside.
While Bernhard and others stood on the city wall also staring intently at Lin Tian and the others.
But they didn't notice the people behind the dragons, their attention was entirely on the dragons.
After all, no one had ever been able to tame ancient dragons.
Even Pendragon's Northern Snow Region only tamed wyverns; what the dragon knight corps rode were bipedal wyverns.
The gap with quadrupedal ancient dragons was too great.
You know, even when the Purple-Gold Dragon Mother was still weak, she could rule a dragon island and command dozens of bipedal wyverns.
"There are actually three kilometer-class ones! When did the barren lands have such a strong ancient dragon nest?"
Bernhard's eyes were full of shock, but then immediately turned to wild joy.
Kilometer-class ancient dragons were each priceless; four together could be exchanged for at least several million gold coins!
"Captain, we're rich!"
"Hahaha, we haven't even reached the barren lands yet and we've already picked up such a huge bargain!"
"I can't wait to make a move! The last time I killed an ancient dragon was ten years ago!"
The other mythical-level adventurers said eagerly.
Each one took out weapons and prepared for battle - broad axes, sharp swords, sturdy shields.
Combined with the magic-and-martial dual-practicing wizard and assassin Bernhard.
They formed a top-level comprehensive lineup, already considered one of the Star Guild's leading teams.
Lin Tian was also observing them at this moment, "Maximum combat power of sixteen thousand? Interesting, are adventurers in border towns all this abnormal? Without us, Little Black and the others alone would probably have difficulty dealing with them."
Currently, Little Black's strength had surpassed the Flame Dragon Mother, with combat power around fifteen thousand.
Spark was about the same.
Ancient dragons weren't strong in single combat, but their destructive power in large-scale battles was devastating.
Very terrifying.
If facing humans of the same combat power, they could only be easily handled.
"Remove the magic array, prepare to attack!"
On the city wall, Bernhard roared, launching a surprise attack the moment the magic barrier disappeared!
Several figures moved fast as lightning!
Moreover, the wizard had already charged up magic, "Boundary-level magic, Ice Chains!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of chains sliding suddenly rang out as several chains made of ice appeared from nowhere, tightly binding Little Black!
Bernhard and others looked fierce, targeting Little Black and preparing to unleash their attack!
"Crack!"
Unfortunately, Little Black had the largest body and easily broke free, climbing higher.
Spark and the others followed closely.
Then came a barrage of bombardment!
Dragon flames fell like meteors toward Bernhard and his team!
Lin Tian watched with interest, not rushing to intervene.
He wanted to see if Little Black and the others alone could defeat such an elite mythical adventurer team.
