Chapter 878: Current Status of the Continent

"Welcome back, Brother!"

Inside the Cloud Realm, Ruoxi waved her hand at Lingyun with a grin.

Lingyun smiled, walked up to Ruoxi, and picked her up directly.

"Ruoxi, how have things been in the Cloud Realm during this time?"

"Everything is on the right track!" Ruoxi wrapped her arms around Lingyun's neck with a grin. "Those children are really working hard; many of the construction matters in the Cloud Realm are now handled by them."

"Papa—"

Just at this moment, another figure suddenly popped out from the Void and hung directly onto Lingyun's arm.

"Yui." Lingyun reached out to embrace Yui, holding both little children at the same time.

"Papa, Aincrad seems to have undergone some magical changes!" Yui said to Lingyun.

"Magical changes?" There was a hint of doubt in Lingyun's tone.

"Mm, although the former Aincrad had become a physical entity under the effect of the fantasy crystals, it lacked a touch of vitality. Now, Aincrad has started to slowly become vibrant. I even saw some creatures starting to reproduce offspring earlier," Yui nodded and said.

"Reproduce offspring?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

In the past, the creatures in Aincrad were basically spawned at fixed intervals, just like a program; now, Aincrad had actually begun biological reproduction. If things continued this way, perhaps in the future, Aincrad could really become an independent world.

"These are all due to the influence of the Creation Fragment inside Yui! Although it is only a fragment, it is a combination of the World Creation Power of countless worlds. It is not a very difficult thing to completely transform a virtual world into a real world," Ruoxi said with a smile.

"So that's how it is?" Lingyun nodded slightly, then couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Papa, are you hurt?" Yui held Lingyun's arm, a trace of anxiety appearing on her face.

"Ha, it's nothing, I just traded a move with the Dragon God earlier, and now my strength is a bit severely depleted." Lingyun waved his hand to indicate he was fine. "Fortunately, I still have that World Blessing on me; otherwise, it wouldn't have been an easy task to escape from the Dragon God."

Speaking of that World Blessing from before, it was something Lingyun obtained after wiping out the Main God Space at the time. Because he was the one who finally shattered the Big Egg, the World Blessing he received was also the greatest.

"That goes without saying; among everyone at the time, besides you, who else could have delivered the final blow to that Big Egg? If not for you, the Big Egg would have at most been heavily damaged and sealed, and who knows how many years later it would have come out to stir up trouble. As it turned out, you shattered the Big Egg directly, so the lion's share of the rewards naturally fell to you," Ruoxi muttered in a low voice.

"Ruoxi, what are you saying?" Lingyun asked with some confusion.

"Ha, nothing. Well, the most important thing now is to let Brother heal his injuries first," Ruoxi hopped down from Lingyun's arms and said with a grin.

"Mm, Papa, hurry and heal your injuries. Yui is very powerful now and can help Papa!" Yui raised her hands, and circles of green light spread out from her body, directly enveloping Lingyun.

Lingyun nodded in agreement and sat cross-legged to begin healing. The power of the Cloud Realm was drawn by Lingyun, flowing continuously toward his direction.

Watching Lingyun fall into a deep state of meditation, Ruoxi pulled out a pile of intelligence reports.

The God-Given Continent during this period really could not be considered peaceful. Although Kaqinuo had been killed by Lingyun and the body of the Lord of the Demon World had been completely destroyed by Lingyun, other situations really could not be considered good. After all, the family Kaqinuo belonged to was a family that had survived from the Millennium Holy War to the present, and its foundation was still quite strong.

Although the entire Noklos Family had been shattered by other alliances, their remnants were spread across the entire Continent, occasionally popping out to cause destruction. The major forces on the Continent were also very troubled by these elusive guys, but there was no other way; they could only try their best to suppress them.

At the same time, the Orc Empire was also somewhat restless. The return of the Beast God was like a shot of adrenaline to the entire Orc Empire. Now the entire Orc Empire was stirring, with constant border frictions, putting no small amount of pressure on the Three Great Empires.

However, the Beast God still dared not make any major moves for now. After all, there were two Goddesses in the Morning Light Forest. No matter which one of these two Goddesses it was, they were not someone he could defeat at present. If the two Goddesses joined forces, he would only have one path left: to be heavily injured and fall into a deep slumber.

If the Orc Empire was an external threat, then the inexplicably appearing large-scale Undead Resurrection was an internal worry. These undead came aggressively, running wild all over the Continent; not only the Three Great Empires, but even the Orc Empire was affected. If not for the existence of these undead, perhaps the Orc Empire would have already gone to war with the Three Great Empires.

The only thing to be thankful for was that not long ago, Oufeina had opened the passage between the God Realm and the God-Given Continent and descended onto the Continent. In a sense, the undead and the God Race could be considered enemies. The arrival of the God Race directly withstood the undead's offensive for the many forces on the Continent, allowing them to catch their breath. After all, facing this kind of enemy that could attack without rest and never suffered from low morale, any existence would feel lingering fear.

After the God Race descended, the Beast God became even more well-behaved. On one hand, the Light Goddess Oufeina and Aiweier were life-and-death friends; on the other hand, she was also the force behind the Light Empire. If the Orc Empire used troops against the Light Empire, they would very likely run into the God Race legions. The Orc Empire's legions did not have the ability to provoke the God Race legions.

However, the information Kaile obtained from the Apocalypse did not make people feel that relaxed. In Kaile's premonition, the inexplicable aura shrouding the Continent was still expanding, and it was so powerful that even the God Race could not withstand it.

Because of this prophecy, the people of the God Race were now acting with extreme caution, preventing themselves from being overturned by the Undead Legion by accident.

At the same time, everyone was also investigating the source of the undead's appearance. They vaguely felt that the appearance of the Undead Legion this time did not seem to have anything to do with Kaqinuo, but rather had another black hand operating in the dark. That black hand might be an existence even more terrifying than the Lord of the Demon World.

"Don't worry, as long as Brother returns, no matter what kind of guy that black hand in the dark is, they will be dragged out and cut down!" Ruoxi put down the intelligence in her hand, looked at Lingyun who was still healing, and said with a grin.
