I want to buy grain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having known each other for a long time, Orion and Scarecrow had become familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Orion discovered that whenever he initiated a conversation with Scarecrow, the guy would always sell him some grain, more or less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time was no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarecrow said nothing and directly put 100,000 tons of grain up for delayed listing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion smiled and instantly bought all the grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you become a Legendary level powerhouse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among my friends, only a few lords are as short on grain as you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a message from Scarecrow, a test, and a very sincere one at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While asking Orion for information, Scarecrow also revealed some information about his own Legendary level friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. As long as one is a lord, they will be short on grain, infinitely short.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words weren't false at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Orion indirectly admitted the fact that he was Legendary level and a lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one was a lord and a survivor, they would definitely aspire to become an arch lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To advance to arch lord, one needed to gather faith and condense a body of faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And where did faith come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From population, and it had to be an intelligent population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have a large population, one needed vast territories and enough grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Legendary level powerhouses were always short on grain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether waging war or developing territory, grain was indispensable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are stronger than me. I've been stuck at Alpha peak for a very, very long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't respond to this statement from Scarecrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because if he did, it would likely involve a trade for a Lord's Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orion didn't lack this item now, but he didn't dare to give it away carelessly either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stoneheart Horde had many Alpha-level elders. Orion believed that even if the probability was small, a few would definitely eventually reach Alpha peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching Alpha peak meant one was qualified to strive for Legendary level and would need a Lord's Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the Lord's Stone was also one of the main sacrificial items for the Titan Emblem, a trump card for Orion to strengthen himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also had good luck and received help from someone, that's how I luckily advanced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also a big truth. To a large extent, Orion had indeed been nurtured by his sponsor, Arthas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Arthas's help, Orion could have advanced to Legendary level, but he would have lingered at the lower Legendary level for a very long time; he had too much foundation to accumulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention other things, just the two opportunities when Arthas invited Orion into the Godforsaken Land and the Valkorath Realm to fight fungal creatures had greatly enhanced Orion's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the fight against the fungal creatures, which directly compensated for the Stoneheart Horde's shortcoming of insufficient innate foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless Stoneheart Horde bloodline warriors were strengthened in the Valkorath Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those Alpha-levels on the council had their stuck levels raised through the confrontation with the fungal creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all Alpha-levels who had fought against the fungal creatures were no longer at the bottom rank among Alpha-levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the baptism of the fungal creatures, they all became veteran Alpha-level powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such various benefits truly couldn't be repaid by gifting one or two precious items and saying a few words of thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Orion was grateful to Arthas, respected him, and also hoped he would awaken from his slumber soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that time came, they could go to the Emerald Dream Realm together to share the benefits there.\u003C\u002Fp>",1190,"2026-05-29T15:49:28.616Z","2026-06-01T04:29:39.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","ed490fc545a85ba2893668b2db79a35f78f249227d682c83b25b235faedfa4b8","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-635","titan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-chapter-633",1606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftitan-king-ascension-of-the-giant-cover.jpg"]
