Chapter 215: Chapter 18: Major Upgrade for Subordinates! Blueprint for the Future! Personally Injecting Energy into Neil!
A4 Wasteland Planet.
Outside Liu Ying City.
The hundreds of millions of subordinates from Dawn City almost filled the entire wasteland.
At the very front of the subordinate ranks, those nearest to the gates of Liu Ying City—
Nearly a hundred figures with overwhelmingly powerful auras stood silently, their heads bowed.
They were all the indigenous people of A4 Planet.
And every one of them was either a Tier Seven Limit or Tier Eight Evolver.
Among them, there were even three Tier Eight Extreme Evolvers, just a step away from Tier Nine.
Their situation was almost identical to what Naiya had once faced—unable to break through to Tier Nine simply because their pollution had reached the limit; one more dose of crystal and they’d become Infected Bodies.
“I wonder if that Lord would be willing to take us in…”
The man at the front—a Tier Eight Extreme—murmured in a low voice.
On A4 Planet, for someone of his Tier, he was a renowned Level 8 Shelter City Lord.
Other than that Tier Nine ’Invincible Celestial King’, he hardly had any opponents.
But now?
All he could do was silently pray in his heart that he might become just one ordinary subordinate of Dawn City.
Dawn City— what the natives of A4 Planet called ’Sky City’. With its terrifying power, in just five days it had brought the entire planet to its knees.
And moreover…
The higher their Tier, the clearer Evolvers saw the dread and might of Dawn City.
The man looked up cautiously, his eyes searching for the figures above the city gates.
They were all Tier Nine Evolvers—without exception!
Their number was almost enough to count on two hands!
More astonishing still…
These nearly ten Tier Nine Evolvers all answered to that ’Lord City Lord’.
The man still hadn’t met the legendary ’Lord City Lord’.
But he, and countless people on A4 Planet, all knew—
The Invincible Celestial King at Tier Nine had been slapped to death across the void by that Lord—without even a chance to resist.
Power like that was utterly beyond anyone’s imagination—even, perhaps…
Many of A4’s natives speculated that the Lord might have already stepped beyond Tier Nine.
Time slid quietly by.
Nearly a hundred of A4’s High-tier Evolvers churned with thoughts similar to the man’s.
They waited, waited for the Lord’s response.
Swish—
Suddenly.
A flash of light filled everyone’s vision.
Yin Yao’s figure materialized into view.
She stood above the ground, condescendingly gazing down at those hundred High-tier Evolvers.
“Lord City Lord has approved your application to enter the city.”
A simple sentence, yet it sent an ecstatic tremor through every single High-tier Evolver.
“We—”
“Swear for Dawn City, to face boiling water and raging fire, death or glory!”
They glanced at one another and shouted the exact same slogan, as if sharing one mind.
Hearing this, Yin Yao’s eyebrows knitted together.
This slogan…
Not quite ’Dawn City’.
Still, she didn’t bother correcting them directly. Once they officially joined and got familiar, they’d know soon enough which two words they should be shouting.
Buzz—
Above the celestial vault, the void quivered softly.
An indescribable surge of aura swept open in an instant.
Yin Yao turned hurriedly, looking up into the sky.
And at the front, all those Tier Nine Evolvers before Liu Ying City lifted their heads in perfect unison as well.
“This…”
“Is the Lord going to show themselves?”
The Tier Eight Extreme man, and the nearly hundred other High-tier Evolvers of A4, were all struck with awe at that moment.
Cautiously, they raised their heads to gaze into the heights above the celestial dome.
Buzz—
Out of the void, Yu Jin stepped forward.
Flanking him, left and right, were the Tao Naimu Sisters—Tao Naimu and Tao Nai Xiang.
“Loyalty~!”
Yu Jin had only just appeared.
The next instant, from the wasteland wilderness erupted an earth-shaking rallying cry.
The collective shout of hundreds of millions made both sky and earth tremble.
Behind Yu Jin, the Tao Naimu Sisters looked on at the scene, their hearts utterly swayed!
These were over a hundred million Evolvers…
All of them, the Lord’s subordinates!
And their posture: zealous, devout—almost frenzied!
“Not bad.”
Yu Jin’s gaze swept over figure after figure covering the land below.
Looking out—
The high-tier Tier Eight and Tier Nine Evolvers mostly had Ability Levels at Level 8 or even Level 9.
The Tier Six and Tier Seven Evolvers generally sat at Level 6 and Level 7.
The largest fraction of Tier Four and Tier Five Evolvers, even they mostly had reached Level 4 or Level 5 in Ability.
In just these five short days, even though Dawn City’s subordinates hadn’t greatly risen in Tier, their maxed-out Ability Levels had doubled their combat potential from what it was before.
“Since that’s the case, then…”
“As the City Lord, I should do something in return as well.”
Yu Jin murmured softly, his words resonating in everyone’s ears.
In this moment—
The hundred High-tier Evolvers of A4 still had no idea what was about to happen.
All the other subordinates of Dawn City, though, were already cheering in unison.
“Loyalty~!”
With the slogan of hundreds of millions resounding again—
Whoosh—
Whoosh whoosh—!
Yu Jin pointed a finger downward.
Pillars of milky white Light rained down from the sky.
Each beam was absurdly wide—over ten thousand meters in diameter.
The countless figures scattered across the wasteland wilderness were instantly swallowed by these pillars of Light.
“Ah~!”
“…”
Even though many had received the baptism of Purifying Light several times before, there were still plenty of subordinates—especially those at lower Evolver tiers—who couldn’t help but let out shameful yet euphoric moans at that moment.
At the gates of Liu Ying City—
Jiang Haichuan braced himself, face more severe than ever before.
He must—he absolutely must not…
“Ah~!”
Jiang Haichuan let out, for the nth time in his life, the strangest groan imaginable.
“?”
The hundred High-tier Evolvers of A4 exchanged confused looks, their faces utterly dumbfounded.
This was…
What kind of procedure?
Could it be the City Lord’s Attribute was that kind of…
“Ah~!”
Their chaotic thoughts were abruptly cut off the moment those beams of Light descended on their heads.
One by one, each High-tier Evolver began emanating a black mist even thicker and richer than any other subordinate of Dawn City.
