Chapter 1118: Unexpected Discovery! The Will of the Goddess of Life Descends!

While the five great empires' armies attacked the Demon Soul Empire, a spatial gate was being constructed at the border of the Demon Soul Empire by the five empires' Holy Domains.

To build this spatial gate, each of the five divine systems behind the five empires sent a divine avatar.

This spatial gate will lead to the distant Flame Empire!

The Demon Soul Empire is extremely far from the Flame Empire.

The five empires spent over twenty days just traveling to reach the Demon Soul Empire.

Keep in mind, these five empires all mobilized massive fleets of flying ships.

Although their flying ship production couldn't match the Flame Empire's, they sustained their efforts for a long time, and their flying ships were highly durable; for this campaign against the Eternal Night Empire, they nearly conscripted every flying ship in their nations.

Even after flying for over twenty days, the distance to the Demon Soul Empire was no ordinary one.

Therefore, the resources required for this spatial gate were immense.

But once built, Meng Ying could travel directly from the Flame Empire to the Demon Soul Empire.

As for the Flame Empire's army, it would only move after the five empires had completely eradicated all remaining resistance in the Demon Soul Empire.

Although the gods of the Demon Soul Pantheon had been resisting stubbornly, Lin Yan had just slain two ancient gods and was now hailed by numerous heavenly deities as the top figure of the fourth tier.

Though this title had not yet been universally recognized by all heavenly gods, it still sounded terrifying.

The gods of the Demon Soul Pantheon, seeing their cause was lost, could only submit.

After all, they were now fighting against the five empires.

Once defeated by the five empires and taken over by the Flame Empire, if they dared cause trouble again, it would be equivalent to directly opposing the Flame Lord.

Even if they now sealed their divine realms, if they directly opposed the Flame Lord, they would surely be terrified inside and likely dare not stir up trouble!

As for the Demon Soul Zunzhu, with only a broken divine rank and a few strands of will, having lost his own realm, there was no possibility of a comeback!

During this time, the Flame Empire's grand construction continued.

The road-building progress was extremely rapid.

In the Eternal Night Empire, over ten million captives from five empires were still building roads.

With so many captives working, the road system of the Eternal Night Empire was rapidly improving.

In the vast, untamed wilderness between the Central Province and the Northern Province, the fox woman Qing Ling established a beast pasture—the Beast Province.

This area would serve as the Flame Empire's breeding ground for beasts.

Large numbers of beasts had already been transported to this region.

The girl Jian rode a white female wolf, leading vast wolf packs, searching this region for new beasts.

The number of beasts in this untamed wilderness was also extremely high!

The number of wild tribes here was similarly substantial.

Using the Frost Wolves as eyes, the Flame Empire established a specialized department to handle these wild tribes.

"My lord, here is the route map returned by the winged people."

In Kuibei Province, a temple knight handed a map to the female dwarf giant Hester.

Hester took the map, glanced at it, and said: "Notify them to depart!"

Immediately, a fleet of flying ships set out—consisting of over a dozen troop transports and a dozen flying warships.

The fleet flew in one direction; after a few hours, a vast primeval forest appeared, filled with numerous crude huts.

These crude huts belonged to a wild tribe.

At this moment, the people of the wild tribe, seeing the flying ship fleet overhead, all showed expressions of panic.

Then, flying warships flew above the wild tribe and dropped leaflets.

"What is this?"

Some in the wild tribe picked them up curiously.

"We offer land, seeds, clothing—in exchange for your submission to the Flame Empire and faith in the Flame Lord…"

One man in the wild tribe read aloud.

The text on these leaflets was naturally written in magical script.

"Don't believe them—they are enemies of the gods! Our god will lead us to defeat them! All warriors, prepare for battle!"

At this moment, the tribe's chieftain shouted loudly.

"My lord, it seems this is another tribe that refuses to submit."

A Nushendian knight beside Hester said.

Hester's expression didn't change: "Attack. Kill the chieftain. Spare those who surrender."

"Yes!"

Immediately, the Flame Empire's warriors launched their assault.

Although this wild tribe had eighty to ninety thousand people and was a formidable force, the battle ended shortly after it began.

The chieftain and high priest were both killed; all others became captives.

"My lord, this tribe indeed worships a heretical god."

One subordinate reported.

Hester nodded: "Burn it down."

The wild tribe quickly erupted in roaring flames; the rest were taken back to the Flame Empire, where they would serve as laborers for a time—once they developed sufficient faith in the Flame Lord, they would regain their freedom.

They could also receive a plot of land and become subjects of the Flame Empire.

The Flame Empire was inclusive and desperately needed people.
