Chapter 2042: Chapter 2036: Enfeoffment

The entanglement of the Multi-universe is endless.

When the gigantic “Ark” appeared in this starry river, all beings who reached a certain level instinctively gazed up at the night sky.

This is the instinctive fear of Life under threat, and the respect that subordinates should have for their superiors…. The presence of a Supreme God is like an elephant in the room; you might pretend it’s not there, but your senses and instincts cannot truly ignore it.

“It has arrived.”

“Is this the reinforcements they talked about before? What exactly did that Earth Goddess call for?”

“We also have the descendants of the Evil Gods, the Princes of the Octopus, our power should be even stronger…”

“Don’t be foolish, the Princes of the Evil God Octopus are each dumber than the last; when they go berserk, who will die, their opponents or us? Every time they go mad, only they return.”

When both sides of the war received reinforcements, the atmosphere was completely different.

On the human side, it was a joyous welcome for the Royal Army, while on the Octopus side, there was fear and unease…. The avatars of “gluttony,” the more Big Shots they have, the more localized their food supplies…

It’s very possible that before a war is even finished, our backbone is being munched on like cookies by the Big Shots.

Naturally, morale on one side soared, while the other began to see deserters… this doesn’t affect the battle between the two sides; the Octopus side has always been like this, with near-zero organization, their military strength driven entirely by charges of “Long live” and gluttony.

Hunger and famine always exist among the lives of those in the Octopus Tribe, and the higher the level, the harder it is to curb this hunger; they need the fresh and souls of intelligent creatures to constantly alleviate it.

“This is my research outcome, although it’s not particularly useful….”

When Lu Ping’an met with Xiu Yi again, this time it was in person, with their respective Demigods and allies backing them.

In this kind of environment, Rule-level cannot have a seat at the table, the eighth tier has no say, and only those of the ninth order and above have the authority to participate in alliances….. and in this regard, Lu Ping’an’s side undoubtedly held the overwhelming advantage.

Xiu Yi looked back at his side, the total number of Divine’s Avatars and Demigods adding up to less than double digits was originally luxurious enough, but now it couldn’t match the force group of Lu Ping’an alone… Xiu Yi’s side was a group of human allies, while Lu’s side could be considered personally led troops.

Over half a century ago, the policy allowing independence in Foreign Domain development seems to have shown results.

For Xiu Yi, those over thirty divine lives weren’t frightening enough… Lu Ping’an providing her with almost the might of the God Above Gods of the past was the essence of it.

At this moment, she even felt that Lu Ping’an was far more dangerous than the son of the Octopus in the past; after all, no matter how strong a brainless Giant Beast is, it can be targeted, whereas under Lu Ping’an’s calm exterior lay an endless Sea of Life.

“The genes of gluttony, and the genes of intelligent life evolution… in a certain sense, our paths overlap, heh, Lu Ping’an, are you here to hunt as well?”

“Of course, the identities of prey and Hunter were never fixed.”

Lu Ping’an did not hide his “greed,” in fact, he responded to this call, even bringing his own foundation, because of this desire for evolution.

The Octopus use of logic might be of help to me, and they vaguely don’t dare to start a war on Mercury 42 where Lu’s home ground is….. If it doesn’t come, I’ll go find it myself.

“Anyway, thank you for your assistance on this side…”

No matter the reason, your presence is a great thing, after all, we can call each other vassals of the human Ethnic group, bestowed upon various corners of the Multi-universe… not helping you is entirely normal, helping you through tough times is indeed a profound favor.

“… This Saturn 321 world, and the neighboring Mercury 2221 world, are given to you as a gift, please take good care of the life forms within.”

Support is never free….. you must have enough foundation as backing, to support another Warlord to deploy their Legion.

Xiu Yi expressed her sincerity by directly granting ownership of two worlds, entrusting them to Lu Ping’an.

“This….”

“Wait, two worlds?!”

Even the Demigods and new high-level members behind her gasped in surprise.

Perhaps to them, this is not only about resources or a battleground, but also possibly the birthworld of some of them, handed over to an outsider just like that?

“Alright, you know, I’ve always been fair to intelligent creatures… I will open up the authority to connect your worlds with these two worlds, treating them entirely as local citizens.”

Lu Ping’an’s meaning was simple: I’ll open the access to the Trading Land on my side, allowing your native lives to come and level up.

But for those “new recruits” who didn’t know Lu Ping’an, they didn’t understand this, they only knew that with a single sentence, Lu Ping’an was going to take away the already limited two worlds, and said something mysterious like “feel free to come and go.”

“Thank you.” And Xiu Yi responded with a smile, which meant that the matter was settled.

The leaders of both sides talked without acknowledging the “ordinary soldiers,” and finalized the ceding of the land.

Any objections? Who are you? If you’re at the children’s table, just watch and be ready to follow orders, who asked for your opinion?

Mumbling a couple of words is forgivable, but being thoughtless and causing trouble… at that time, your boss at home will be the one to clean you up.

And after this simple communication, both sides went on to handle their own tasks; the handing over of two worlds is not a simple matter.

“Lord Xiu Yi, wasn’t it originally only one world for Mercury?”

The “cabinet members” of Xiu Yi’s side were also quite surprised.

Their BOSS is not known for changing decisions temporarily.

“The price for friends who come to support is one thing… the price for ‘friends’ who can annihilate us along with our opponents is another.”

After hearing this, the cabinet members instantly went silent, leaving the scene a bit awkward.

Xiu Yi smiled and didn’t say anything further… in fact, she could have said, “a big enough world is needed to unfold his abilities,” but letting her people understand the current situation and reducing unnecessary internal conflicts is also a good thing.

Meanwhile, Lu Ping’an ignored these minor interludes… if you can’t manage your people, I’ll help you take care of them.

“Let’s localize these two worlds first… who’s interested in becoming the Master of the World here?”

Lu Ping’an directly asked if his Demigods were interested in taking over an entire world.

This also meant that, on Lu’s side, just like on Earth, he possessed the authority to bestow “worlds.”

Under his gaze, his “children” stepped up.

It wasn’t fishing; it was his Magic Pets, already with the confidence and necessity to become the master of a world.
