Upon seeing Tugra’s prudence and taciturn, Zhang Lisheng waved his hand and said directly, “Tugra, you’re the only one in the tribe who can tell me the truth. To be honest, the grace I’ve given you is what you deserve. You don’t have to feel any fear or uneasiness like the one you’re showing me now. Yeah, I only hope that you can honestly tell me if it’s appropriate to change the Wizard Li tribe now?”

“Great Island’s God, to a minority of the stubborn Hellfire tribesmen, they won’t be able to accept your ‘change’ no matter when you would implement it.” The Wizard Li headman grew silent for a while before saying dryly, “However, to most Wizard Li tribesmen, the change you made is just right in time.”

“Hellfire tribesmen, Wizard Li tribesmen, the right time...” Zhang Lisheng pondered Tugra’s answer and picked out three keywords to mutter under his breath. Nodding gently, he continued, “You’re right, Tugra. Wizard Li already has 80 million people. I can’t possibly make everyone follow me blindly, not mentioning that we still have the Nulu Archipelago... Ah, forget it, since the change has already begun, it’s useless for me to overthink about it even if I could still change my mind. We should focus on other useful things. Tell me about the outlanders who attacked the Wizard Li’s ancestral land.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Upon seeing that the tribal overlord was no longer entangled in sensitive topics such as the revolution of the Hellfire civilization, Tugra secretly sighed in relief. “Nine days ago, a group of redheaded and fair outlanders who were emitting fiery red light flew into Wizard Li’s ancestral land. Since we had no idea what their intentions were, the patrolling dragon hawk warriors had blocked them. Somehow, out of the blue, the outlanders suddenly grew violent and burnt the warrior who questioned them into black charcoal along with his mount. Then, they killed all patrolling dragon hawk warriors and even attacked the ancestral land, burning several dozens of treehouses and killed hundreds of tribesmen...”

While the Wizard Li headman was talking, he suddenly heard a series of neat sounds coming from outside. At once, a bitter expression crept upon his face as he said, “It seems like the outlanders have come, Your Majesty. They come every day, and even though they don’t kill too many of us, nor do they burn the treehouses near the totem pole...”

“Even if they kill only one believer of mine for no reason, I’ll let these arrogant outlanders pay a heavy price today!” Zhang Lisheng interrupted Tugra calmly and jumped off the wooden couch. Covering his entire body using animal skin. Revealing only two eyes, he quickly walked out of the treehouse.

Tens of thousands of Wizard Li tribesmen were kneeling on the ground, praying out loud outside. As they did so, they were letting the flames coming out of the ten brilliant balls flying in the air to burn their homes.

Upon seeing this strange situation, the young man could not help but be astonished as he asked Tugra who was following behind him. “What’s wrong with the tribesmen in the Wizard Li’s ancestral land? Don’t tell me that they could only kneel on the ground, waiting for their deaths without the protection of any spellcasting chief warriors?”

“Of course not, Your Majesty! The Wizard Li people have never lacked the courage to fight. Still, these people are almost the same as the eight companions you brought not long ago, so all the chiefs in the ancestral land...”

“This is not piety but ignorance! My believers are not ‘lambs’ that others can slaughter arbitrarily...” Upon hearing the meaning implied in Tugra’s hemming and hawing, Zhang Lisheng spoke in anger. For a time, he could not suppress the ferocity rising in his heart as he glared at one of the brightest light balls flying in the air. With a cold smirk, he clenched both his fists.

As he clenched his fists, the totem pole behind the young man ignited, flashing a faint flame. In an instant, a large skinny, bony hand abruptly reached out from the soil in front of the stone pillar. It reached up to 100 meters high into the sky and grabbed the light ball that Zhang Lisheng was staring at, clenching it into a bloody red pile of meat.

“Sonos...” The sudden abnormality caused the Atlanteans who were burning the foreign world’s native tribe with malice to shout out in alarm. Watching their companion’s remains that had become smashed, they stretched out their hands in anger and fear, casting their strongest attack.

Instantly, the brilliance emitted by the light stone revolving speedily around those Atlanteans, like stars circulating a fixed orbit of a planet, suddenly turned exceptionally bright and glaring. Dense cracks gradually could be seen on their surface. At once, the flame resembling a sea of fire appeared in the air and enveloped the giant palm that the soil transformed into, turning it into lava.

“Even though you guys are strong, you don’t know how to use your power well.” Looking at the fire raining down from the sky, a disdainful smile crept upon the corner of Zhang Lisheng’s mouth as he murmured. “Since I’ve already made my move, I might as well kill half of you first to vent out my anger before going to the US military camp to see why you came to Wizard Li.”

While he was speaking, the seawater power that came from the ocean began to consolidate along the ‘belief’ burned by the young man. Then, it shaped into a blue thick icy arrow according to his heart’s intention and shot towards the light balls in the air.

“Watch out for the enemy’s attack...” When the most vigilant young man among the Atlanteans saw the cold brilliance of the arrow, he shouted out loud. He turned his hand towards the direction the ice arrow was shooting from, dodging while trying to melt the bolt with fire.

Unfortunately, the technique that Zhang Lisheng cast using divine power was similar to the omniscient power he used during the incarnation of his wyrmdragon’s power but with a different essence. Even if the light stone was crushed and the blue veins on his forehead throbbed, the Atlantean man could not block the spearhead of the ice arrow at all. Once the arrow shot through in his chest, he erupted and turned into a bloody red mist.

“Anokia...” The death of their second companion infuriated the Atlanteans. They tried to work together to block the attack of the ice arrow. Unfortunately, at this time, the giant soil hands that had freed itself from the flames waved out dripping with magma. It slapped two nearest Atlanteans and sending them flying to several meters away as though they were flies.

“AHHHH...” Screaming shrilly in the skies before they could regain their balance, the arrows had already caught both of them and lost their lives.

“Let’s leave! The enemy is too strong! Let us leave now...” Their companion’s successive deaths turned the surviving Atlanteans initial surprise and anger into panic. After losing their courage, they began to retreat in a hurry, becoming more of a helpless target in the air. When Zhang Lisheng killed them, in the end, only six to seven people could flee the Wizard Li tribe.

“The power that these outlanders mastered is not something ordinary Wizard Li tribesmen can handle. However, the formation arranged by an array of artillery should be able to kill them.” Looking at the group of faint light balls fleeing in a wrecked manner, Zhang Lisheng told this to Tugra, who was behind him. “AIn another 60 days at most, there will be 200,000 elite warriors guarding the Wizard Li Island, so it would be easy to kill them by then... However, the forces behind these outlanders are powerful, so let’s not easily pick a fight with them if they don’t take the initiative to attack.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Upon seeing that the power the tribal overlord demonstrated had grown more mysteriously profound compared to before, Tugra kneeled on the ground and said reverently.

“I can always relax when you’re the one doing what I command, Tugra.” The young man nodded and said nothing more. He walked to the clear water channel that traversed half of the tribe in the distance amid the worship of countless indigenous people and looked down at his pallid face. A helpless expression crept upon his face. Other than having no hindrance to his becoming the bully in the Wizard Li tribe with this ‘ghost-like’ face, he would definitely cause a panic wherever he went.

“What else can I do now that I look like a dried corpse?” Zhang Lisheng frowned and muttered while pondering in bitterness, “Looks like I won’t be able to become ‘fresh’ anymore unless I soak myself in Formalin... Formalin...” A lightbulb went off on the young man’s head. Touching his face with his dried, stick-like fingers, a faint, horrifying smile appeared on his face. “This is not whimsical anyway. Since my body is already ‘dead’... Already ‘dead’...”

He muttered and jumped over the canal, before striding into the huge bark house that was used to transplant the Gold Core fragment into the Wizard Li warriors.

He walked to the only vacated stone bench beside the right wall. Zhang Lisheng opened the cabinet door and took out a few barrels of colorless ‘gene stabilizer’ and dozens of different chemicals.

After that, he washed his hands with running water and spent a day preparing a thick transparent liquid with the ‘stabilizer’ as the base. After he had succeeded, he looked at the row of crystal-clear bottles. He hesitated for a few seconds before encouraging himself. “Colorless, non-toxic, not easy to volatilize, this is the best ‘preservative’ that I can make under my current conditions. Even if this is injected into your body, it won’t be a problem for you, too, let alone the fact that you’re already ‘dead’...”

After muttering to himself, Zhang Lisheng took a few deep breaths, picked up the syringe to fill them with 1,500 milliliters of thick liquid, and injected it into his body.

As the transparent chemical entered the young man’s body, it entered his blood vessels and skin in place of his blood and various body fluids. His dried body gradually swelled as though he was being inflated. His orange skin also gradually smoothened and moisturized. His deep, sunken chest also slowly flattened out.

The thing that Zhang Lisheng was doing would send chills down other people’s spines, but it was clear that the effect was excellent. When he walked out of the treehouse, he already appeared to be high in spirit without the need to use any make-up.

“Sometimes, we really can’t underestimate the power of science...” Once again, the young man walked up to the canal and looked down at his face that completely differed from yesterday with the help of the firelight.

Now that the biggest problem had been solved, he waited patiently for two days. When he saw that the Atlanteans did not show up to take any revenge, he walked to the US military camp riding on the giant millispider alone.

He once regarded the Wizard Li Island as a giant island. Now, it had unwittingly become tiny in Zhang Lisheng’s eyes after conquering Scorpion Island. After leisurely walking through the dense jungle, he realized that he had unexpectedly come across the traces of Earthlings. To his surprise, these people were not professional soldiers but a group of lumberjacks who were humming a song.
