Chapter 877: Launching Cooperation

Li was still anxiously waiting on the outskirts. Even though the other party was the ruler of this land, at this moment, she still resembled a frightened little beast, with a faint layer of fright on her face.

Just now, she clearly felt His power!

This couldn’t help but remind her of that disaster from countless years ago. Back then, Li was still standing on the outskirts, waiting for her parents to return. But just as she was eagerly looking forward, a terrifying energy destroyed her hopes!

Elite members of Naya, including her parents, suffered countless deaths and injuries under that horrific disaster, with nearly sixty percent of high-level combat forces lost. It was from that moment onward that the land of sleep became a nightmare for countless Naya people.

This nightmare did not transform as Li grew stronger. On the contrary, as Li grew up and became a legendary strong individual, this fear became more tangible!

Legendary individuals have extraordinary perception. After stepping into the legendary realm, Li had a new understanding of His terrifying nature. Not to mention delving deeper, even standing on the outskirts, childhood memories would swarm back, and these energies felt like swords, destroying Li’s inner world.

And just now, Li noticeably felt the fluctuations in the land of sleep intensify. She was absolutely sure; it was His aura. Compared to the previous gentleness, just now, that energy became extremely violent, as if it was soon going to spread to other lands and truly descend before her!

At that time, Li didn’t have the courage to go forward and check. She was like an innocent person shadowed in childhood, standing dumbly in place, not knowing what to do.

And just when Li was lost, a figure appeared in the distance that couldn’t be considered familiar. To be precise, they had only known each other for less than a day.

“It’s that traveler!”

Li raised an eyebrow and said in a firm voice, “He actually came out alive?”

At this moment, Li even suspected the other party was a form created by Him. But as a hunter, Li trusted her perception ability—that was Chen Feng’s aura, no doubt. The other party had truly returned from the land of sleep!

This had an enormous impact on Li!

In the situation where His aura had begun to riot, Chen Feng could still come back alive—this was simply impossible!

While Li was deep in thought, Chen Feng had already walked up to her.

In Chen Feng’s eyes, Li looked a bit odd. Earlier, she had been playing the role of a female chieftain, but now her face changed like the four seasons, constantly shifting in emotions, showing surprise, amazement, and a certain unexplainable fear.

She was afraid, seeing him come back alive from the land of sleep. Chen Feng understood that when that divine being erupted, there should also have been noticeable changes in the surroundings. This was like walking out unscathed from a tornado, an unanticipated survival which put Li in a state of strong disbelief.

“How did you do it?” Li, holding a staff that symbolized authority, looked at Chen Feng with an unusual curiosity.

“Did He awaken? You actually managed to come out alive despite His awakening—this… this is impossible!”

“Miracles always happen in this world. Isn’t my emergence now the best proof?” Chen Feng chuckled softly and said.

“Indeed, you came back alive.” Li murmured to herself. No matter how much she found it unbelievable, the fact that Chen Feng was here meant he hadn’t met any accident.

Chen Feng turned around, looking at the barren land not far away, his tone somewhat low: “I have some matters to discuss with you; this concerns the future of the Naya people.”

……………

They communicated for half an hour. During this time, Chen Feng revealed all his observations and suspicions to Li.

And upon learning that there was a phantom soul manifestation in the land of sleep, Li was completely stunned. Chen Feng voiced his suspicion—that the so-called annual sacrifice might have been a conspiracy from start to end, a convenient ploy for the divine to devour souls.

Li couldn’t even articulate what participating in the annual sacrifice meant. It was just the most important tradition for the Naya people.

The divine’s intentions were hard to grasp; perhaps it was all an intricate scheme from the start, with that sleeping Evil God using this method to obtain needed souls. He either created the Naya people or simply provided them with a land to live, and in return, He would periodically collect some souls.

He understands the importance of population; therefore, He would only harvest souls at specific times, then leave just enough population for continued growth.

The Naya people.

Perhaps they were just the catalyst for the revelation of the divine!

Revival is a lengthy process, but divine beings are immortal entities. Unless an irresistible catastrophic event or unstoppable divine strike occurs, they simply will not die.

Thus, the divine has ample time to devour the souls of the Naya people to complete His eventual awakening. This could take hundreds or even thousands of years, but to the divine, it’s no more than a nap, as He has no significant concept of time.

Li’s expression was complex; instinctively, she wanted to deny Chen Feng, for this was a custom of the Naya people for centuries. Yet thinking of her parents’ misfortunes, it stirred some doubts within her.

“I need some time.” Li thought for a moment and spoke.

“I understand.” Chen Feng nodded.

Anyone hearing such news would need some time to digest it.

However, whether the Naya people would continue to act recklessly was not something Chen Feng could control. He was more concerned about the placement of the Sea God’s Residence survivors.

Thinking about this, Chen Feng opened his mouth and said, “I destroyed His avatar. For the foreseeable future, the suppression of the land of sleep has completely disappeared. I believe I have fulfilled our initial plan. Next, I would like you to find a piece of land for me to settle my people.”

This was straightforward communication.

The meaning was equally clear: I have completed your challenge, and now, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise.

Li’s expression slightly recovered, then softened into a smile as she slowly spoke, “Of course, the Naya people do not lie. I will find you a piece of land, and if everything is as you say, I’ll dispatch some warriors to build the necessary facilities for you.”

Cooperation was achieved.

Chen Feng, having the right to use this land, essentially gained a hidden base. Even if an irresistible disaster struck, here still harbored the seeds of survival.

Now.

The most important thing is to return to Order and then transport technological power here. Chen Feng intends to transform this land—with no enemy threat nearby, he strives to ignite the technological tree here as quickly as possible!
