Chapter 2295: Only Concerned with the Present

Ye Liuyun absorbed divine soul power while ordering the warship to come over.

His golden pupil had already seen that humans lived here, and he was preparing to bring troops to check the situation.

But before his warship could arrive, Ye Liuyun discovered that the people here had actually joined forces to surround Qiong Qi.

"What's going on?"

Ye Liuyun immediately rushed over and asked Qiong Qi.

"These guys say we killed their guardian beast and demand compensation!"

Qiong Qi told Ye Liuyun.

"Guardian beast?"

Ye Liuyun was a bit puzzled.

"Exactly! It's because of that giant beast that we can resist the foreign tribe's attacks."

"Now you've actually killed it, yet you claim it was protecting us?"

A leader martial cultivator shouted at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun glanced at his realm and found he was merely a martial cultivator at the Ninth Layer Early Stage.

The martial cultivators around him were mostly at the seventh or eighth layer of the divine realm, and overall their strength was not strong.

However, their numbers were not small, gathering over five thousand people.

Qiong Qi also angrily argued with him: "That creature is clearly refining your world's primordial power, and I also saw many human bones beneath it—obviously it was treating you as food—yet you claim it was protecting you?"

That person, however, disdainfully said: "So what?"

"It wants energy; we can give it some."

"It only eats high-realm martial cultivators, having no interest in low-realm ones."

"At least it lets most of us survive."

"Now that you've killed it, when the foreign tribe comes, who will defend us?"

"How are we supposed to preserve our lives?"

These words also opened the eyes of Qiong Qi and Ye Liuyun.

Qiong Qi merely said: "In the end, it will eat you all and drain all your energy!"

"That's only a matter of several years later! Before, the foreign tribe had already attacked.

"If it weren't for it, we would have already died out.

"With it, we can at least live a few more years!"

That person continued speaking.

"What about those several years later?"

Ye Liuyun countered.

"What happens several years later—who can worry about that? Stop the nonsense, hurry up and pay compensation; otherwise, don't think your high realm makes you a match for our many people!"

After saying that, the person raised his arms and called out; the surrounding people responded in kind, all releasing pressure to threaten Ye Liuyun and the others.

"Roar!"

Qiong Qi, angered by these people, let out a loud roar, using a combined attack of sound waves and soul-shaking waves, shaking those who approached until they vomited blood and collapsed.

Ye Liuyun also sighed.

"Since you only care about the present, then don't expect a future!"

He immediately had his avatar release the fifty thousand demon race.

"Hunt!"

He notified the fifty thousand demon race.

"Roar!"

The fifty thousand demon race excitedly let out a unified roar and charged at the five thousand people.

Their inherent strength was enough to fight these people to a standstill; even their physical bodies were stronger, and their size gave them an absolute advantage.

Moreover, they had recently been training their techniques, greatly increasing their strength, making it extremely easy to deal with these slightly lower-realm martial cultivators.

Ye Liuyun had previously been feeding them with accumulated ferocious beast meat, and to avoid depletion, he also imposed limited rations on them.

Just now, a single golden lion giant beast could only let these people have a bare minimum; feeling they hadn't eaten enough, once released to forage, they immediately dropped their weapons, rushed forward, and began tearing and biting with their hands and mouths, directly seizing food.

These five thousand martial cultivators, surrounded by these giants, could not even think of escaping.

Qiong Qi also indiscriminately began killing.

The leader, the chief, was about to be torn to shreds by Qiong Qi.

Ye Liuyun immediately released divine soul power, dragging his soul into his own sea of consciousness to strike, beginning a soul search.

He had previously thought that martial cultivator was lying, deliberately trying to extort them.

But he never expected that, upon soul searching, he would discover that what the cultivator said was actually true.

The martial cultivators here would rather be eaten by that golden lion, or have their primordial power drained by it, than fight the foreign tribe.

Moreover, it's not just this group; several major powers here actually share this attitude.

"A bunch of spineless trash!"

Ye Liuyun immediately also released the half-beast legion and the demon beast half-beast legion.

"Kill everyone here and stockpile food!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, releasing them all.

"Roar, roar!"

These half-beasts, big and small, howled, rolling demon qi as they rushed into the distance.

Qiong Qi, having vented enough, then transformed into human form and came to Ye Liuyun's side.

Ye Liuyun also didn't want to look at the tragic scene before him; he released his Divine Sense, found the Primordial Power here, and took Qiong Qi with him as he rushed over.

As for those Demon Race and Demon Beasts, he only demanded that they not fight among themselves.

As for how they hunt, Ye Liuyun also couldn't be bothered to manage it.

The soil layer covering the Primordial Power here has already been directly dug through by that golden lion.

Ye Liuyun had experience approaching the Primordial Power; moreover, his current strength is far greater than before, as he hadn't even reached the Divine Realm previously.

He and Qiong Qi sensed the power within, not directly rushing into the spiritual aura emanating from the Primordial Power, but rushing toward the Primordial Power underground.

Qiong Qi, meanwhile, began to absorb while sinking.

Ye Liuyun was not in a hurry; instead, he first tried to communicate with that Primordial Power using his Divine Sense, to see if he could refine it.

But what he also didn't expect was that the Primordial Power here seemed to have consciousness; upon sensing that Ye Liuyun had no hostility, it immediately accepted his Divine Sense.

It even actively accepted Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense, integrating it into its core.

Ye Liuyun didn't even need to exert effort; it was equivalent to refining the Primordial Power here.

「Huh? 」

Qiong Qi also immediately sensed the change in this Primordial Power.

He and Ye Liuyun have a contract; once this Primordial Power is refined by Ye Liuyun, he can no longer absorb it.

「Wow, it's so easy to refine? 」

「If I had known earlier, I would have tried too! 」

Qiong Qi was also helpless about this,

He only complained in a sentence: 「Your luck, kid, is simply heaven-defying! 」

In his heart, he was actually quite happy for Ye Liuyun.

To him, it was just a bit of resources; he had been following Ye Liuyun for so long, resources were never lacking.

This Primordial Power cannot be absorbed; he still has other reserves.

「I didn't expect that either; it seems to have actively accepted me! 」

Ye Liuyun also explained embarrassedly.

Qiong Qi thought for a moment and told Ye Liuyun: 「I estimate it also sensed that it was about to be drained by someone. 」

「So as soon as it discovered you had no ill will toward it, it immediately accepted you! 」

「What should I do next? 」

Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi said impatiently: 「What else can we do? Move it into our own Space World! Or even move the entire world! 」

Qiong Qi's words also conveniently reminded Ye Liuyun, who happened to want to expand his own Space World, moving it over to let it merge into his Space World — that would be a good choice.
