Chapter 778: Chapter 238: The Shortest Path is a Detour! The Ten Thousand Races’ Celestial Prides! Qin Feng Achieves the Golden High Tower, Just Like the Golden King

It was only at this moment that Qin Feng truly understood the nature of the massive, chasm-like gulf separating him from that half-step Star System-level Powerhouse.

In the face of the higher-quality, higher-dimensional Gold Mental Power, the silver-white Mental Power simply could not win through sheer numbers alone.

Whether in terms of destructive power, Defense Power, or the strength of its force fields...

The Gold Mental Power held an all-encompassing, crushing advantage over the silver-white Mental Power!

’Continue.’

After a moment of shock, Qin Feng immediately composed himself and resumed his tedious cultivation.

He continued to madly absorb resources, tempering his Mental Power.

A month later, through his unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded in tempering a cupful of Gold Mental Power.

Half a year later, the total amount of Gold Mental Power he possessed had amassed into a volume comparable to a small ocean.

A year later, on the lowest level of his ten-million-light-year-tall Immortal Tower, the first Brick Stone of the foundation finally shed its original silver-white color, transforming into a dazzling Gold!

「Ten years later.」

By the time Qin Feng had completely exhausted all the resources he had acquired, the scale of his Gold Mental Power had reached a terrifying ten thousand light-years!

’This speed is still quite fast.

’I managed to temper ten thousand light-years’ worth of Gold Mental Power in just ten years.’

Qin Feng’s consciousness slowly sank into his Spirit Realm—the vast, boundless Subspace.

His majestic, nine-hundred-ninety-nine-story tower, ten million light-years tall, stood in the core region surrounding the Golden Throne.

Now, a little more than its entire bottom level had completely transformed into a dazzling Gold!

Gold, incomparably profound runes slowly flowed across the tower’s surface, emitting a holy and noble, yet terrifyingly majestic, aura.

’In the distance, the Emperor’s Golden Throne is the same color.’

’Now, one level of my Immortal Tower has also transformed into that same noble and majestic Gold, just like the Golden Throne...’

Qin Feng felt a sincere joy for his tremendous progress.

’Without realizing it, the competition has already reached its 812th year.’

’This period of seclusion took a little longer than I expected.’

’Now that my foundation is set and my strength has greatly increased...’

’It’s time to go out and clear away some of the Mechanical Race experts entrenched around the alliance’s territory.’

’Then, I’ll go seize those newly appeared, more numerous Star System Level Resources.’

’Also, I need to check on the current situation outside.’

Qin Feng slowly rose from the icy ground.

As he stood, a terrifying surge of life force, too immense to describe in words, spontaneously emanated from his body!

The spontaneously triggered tide of Spiritual Energy even caused the surrounding ice cavern, which had been frozen solid for countless eons, to begin melting rapidly!

However, with a single thought, Qin Feng completely retracted the terrifying aura capable of shaking the very stars.

Soon, he once again appeared no different from an ordinary person.

He perfectly contained all the escaping tides of Spiritual Energy within his body.

The surrounding ice cavern slowly stopped melting as well.

After doing all this, Qin Feng submerged his consciousness into the public forum of the battle zone.

The moment he entered, he discovered that the forum’s atmosphere had changed dramatically compared to twelve years ago.

There weren’t just numerous discussion threads about the newly emerged Star System Level Resource Points.

There were also countless threads filled with endless, venomous hatred and Curses.

The reason was simple.

After the competition organizers issued the new rule "mandating the elimination of the Mechanical Race," a large number of supreme leaders from the Star System Alliances made a unanimous choice. They didn’t want the "burdens" of their alliances to slow down their own pursuit of Star System Level Resources. That choice was betrayal!

They directly abandoned their alliances and disbanded the factions they had personally built.

Then, without a second glance, they ran off to seize the Star System Level Resources!

Meanwhile, the vast numbers of Martial Artists under their command, whose strength was still at the Infinite Sea or newly-ascended Stellar level, were left without the protection of their strongest powerhouses. They were completely powerless against the terrifying Mechanical Race armies, which had occupied vast territories and spent centuries developing their forces!

Their final fate was either to flee or be completely submerged and devoured by the endless iron tide!

The entire forum was filled with countless posts of this nature, seething with hatred.

Qin Feng glanced over them briefly.

It seemed that among all the once-great and powerful major Star System Alliances, every single supreme leader had betrayed their alliance... except for him and Caesar, who led the Six Great Star Systems Alliance.

...

After those once-arrogant Star System Alliance leaders chose betrayal one after another, the entire situation in the battle zone was thrown into chaos, like a giant stone dropped into a calm lake.
