Chapter 598 - 231: This Is the Best God; Believing in Him Truly Grants Eternal Life

The massive Dragon Palace was divided into many levels.

Just a moment ago, Shen Fei had been in the reception hall, which was only opened for the most important guests. Now, he had arrived in another area where the Red Heart A had taken root.

"Not bad!" he exclaimed. "It really is the same! They truly come from the same source!"

As his gaze swept the area, Shen Fei immediately recognized a familiar sight on the ground before him: the phantom of a card, hovering and spinning slowly in mid-air. Moreover, the card was already more than halfway solidified. In fact, some red hearts had already appeared on the solidified parts.

The scene before him was exceptionally familiar to Shen Fei. In a corner of his villa back in Qing City, there was another one—completely identical, except the solidifying card there featured black spades.

"Very good! Have your Sea Race had any difficulties guarding this place?"

He quickly checked the status of the Red Heart A. Besides, Vanas had already expressed her intention of giving the Red Heart A to the Divine Lord, Shen Fei, six days ago. The Red Heart A was indeed gradually solidifying, just like the Black Spade A in Qing City. Knowing the item could not be moved until it fully solidified, Shen Fei asked his question directly.

"Forget it. I’ll just go ahead and eradicate all the NPCs and bosses in the entire Pacific Ocean special region for you..."

However, before Vanas could even make a request, Shen Fei had already made his decision. After all, in the Dragon Palace’s current location, NPCs and bosses were the only enemies likely to show up. Moreover, now that he knew the ultimate goal of the NPCs and bosses, Shen Fei had been planning to wipe these creatures from Blue Star anyway. Although NPCs and bosses could potentially be resurrected, they still had to be cleared out.

Since this involved protecting the Red Heart A, he decided he would start by clearing out the Pacific Ocean, the largest special region of all. His Thirteenth-Tier Vine Towers now had a base range of twenty thousand kilometers. With various buffs, this range could be increased by several hundred times. This way, with his Vine Towers providing navigation, even though the Pacific Ocean special region was vast, Shen Fei could quickly eradicate the main settlements of the NPCs and bosses.

CLANG!

CLANG!

CLANG!

The moment he made his decision, Shen Fei waved his hand, and right where he stood, he placed 100 of his own Tenth-Tier Defense Towers.

Qing City, where the Black Spade A was located, was his hometown. There, all of Sun Yu’s Defense Towers were deployed outside, twenty-four hours a day. There were also the Defense Towers of all the members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang, and nine Neutral Cities that Shen Fei had fully upgraded to the highest level, turning them into large cities. Therefore, the Black Spade A in Qing City was perfectly safe.

However, the Red Heart A here was comparatively less secure. In response, Shen Fei didn’t say another word and immediately set down 100 of his Defense Towers, activating their alert mode at once.

"Ah!"

Beside him, Vanas, who had just witnessed the intensity of the Cluster Attack from one hundred towers during the previous battle, instantly shrieked with excitement. Originally, her plan was to lead her people to guard this place and wait for the Red Heart A to mature for her Divine Lord. Even though the Combat Power of the entire Sea Race had greatly diminished from using the Bloodline Technique, this hadn’t changed her decision. But she never expected that the Divine Lord, Shen Fei, would offer them support at a time like this.

"Divine Lord, aren’t you going to hunt down NPCs and bosses?" she asked. "Will leaving your Divine Pillars here affect your Combat Power?"

Even then, Vanas was still considerate of Shen Fei’s interests.

"It won’t make much difference..." Shen Fei waved away her concern.

The number of Defense Towers he could currently summon had already reached 600. Even with 100 slots used here, he could still slay gods and buddhas with the remaining 500. Moreover, due to the boost he received during the Dinosaur Era, Shen Fei knew that the attack power of his 500 Defense Towers now was even stronger than that of his 600 Defense Towers from more than six days ago. Being a hundred towers short was no big deal.

"Thank you, Divine Lord!!" Hearing Shen Fei’s reply, Vanas was so overcome with emotion that she immediately fell to her knees again.

SHING!

Just as she knelt, Vanas suddenly saw a flash of light before her eyes. Then, she cried out in utter shock, "Bloodline Gemstones!!"

Yes, Bloodline Gemstones! Upon seeing that the Sea Race had activated their so-called Bloodline Technique to protect the Red Heart A and wait for him and the Black Tortoise to return, turning their entire populace into the old, weak, sick, and disabled, Shen Fei had contacted Sun Yu to investigate a way to reverse its effects. Sun Yu had quickly reported back that the Bloodline Gemstones, of which Shen Fei had hundreds, could repair the aftereffects of the Bloodline Technique.

To ensure the Sea Race could better guard the Red Heart A for him and prevent any problems with this Unique item, Shen Fei didn’t hesitate for long. He quickly took out 20 Bloodline Gemstones via the Ninth World. Although the quantity wasn’t large, it was enough to restore the bloodline power the entire Sea Race had consumed.

"Divine Lord... Divine Lord..." Vanas stared at what Shen Fei was handing her, her hands trembling with emotion.

Previously, her Sea Race also had a connection to the Ninth World, where they had seen Bloodline Gemstones for sale. However, due to their special status, they had almost no Credit Points. This had forced the Sea Race to passively barter for resources, often at a great disadvantage. They had never even dreamed of trading for a super item like the Bloodline Gemstone, which could solve the aftereffects of their Bloodline Technique.

Now, Shen Fei had delivered them right to her. Vanas’s emotional defenses shattered, and tears welled up in her eyes. As the leader of her race, it was impossible to say she didn’t cherish her people. But, facing the grand tide of events, her only choice had been to have her people activate the great bloodline-consuming technique, which damaged their lifespan and foundation. With the Bloodline Gemstones, the power they had consumed could be immediately replenished. This completely broke the composure of Vanas, who had been bottling up all her stress.

"Ah!!"

However, before Vanas could even be excited for two seconds, something even more astonishing happened.

"Your Sea Race has lived through so much history, so you should be able to recognize all sorts of treasures, right? You should have a good sense of what’s useful and what isn’t, correct?

"Here, I’ll give you 100 access permissions for the Ninth World!

"And I’ll give you 100 billion Credit Points as starting capital!

"You’ll help me acquire items in the Ninth World!

"Anything you think is useful, just acquire it and send it to my warehouse!"

Having shattered Vanas’s composure with a handful of Bloodline Gemstones, Shen Fei ignored the emotional Empress and quickly issued his new commands. From Vanas’s earlier report, he had learned that the Sea Race had a long history and a long lifespan. Although much of the information Vanas had reported earlier was censored, he had a crystal-clear understanding of that fact. After confirming this, and seeing that his Ninth World Credit Points had once again accumulated to 100 billion over the past six days, Shen Fei had an idea: he would just have the Sea Race pick out items for him. They were more professional when it came to things like this.

"Personally, what I urgently need right now are things that can increase my power!

"Specifically, items that can upgrade other items’ levels without limit! I need them to raise the level of my Defense Towers!"

Looking at the stunned Vanas, who had fallen into a daze after his long speech, Shen Fei added his final instructions.

"Yes... Yes, Divine Lord!!"

Several minutes passed before Vanas finally snapped out of it and hurriedly agreed. She never imagined that the Divine Lord not only had powerful Defense Towers and could casually produce Bloodline Gemstones, but also that he possessed the highest authority in the Ninth World—something her Sea Race had previously fought over with the NPCs and bosses.

They had been instantly allocated 100 access permissions, something the Sea Race could only dream of obtaining before. Furthermore, from the Divine Lord’s tone, getting more in the future would be a trivial matter. As for Credit Points, her Sea Race had painstakingly accumulated them, selling off many of their old treasures, and even now, the entire race only had a little over 100 million. Yet the Divine Lord had given them 100 billion in one go!

A scene like this was enough to make Vanas’s scalp tingle in shock.

"You truly are the God of my people!!!"

These were minor actions to Shen Fei, but the Empress of the Sea Race prostrated herself completely, bowing down deeply once more. The sudden windfall made Vanas feel incredibly fortunate that she had found her race’s Deity. She was also incomparably glad that she had acknowledged him as her master so decisively.

Everything was worth it.

Everything was for the best.
