Chapter 254 Nominal Leader
"...Crocodile Dragon Continent?"

Yang Chen asked curiously: "You don't know the concept of a planet?"

"Planet?" Emperor Quinin was puzzled.

Yang Chen asked again: "Have you ever flown out of the sky?"

"Quining's strength is low and he cannot break through the Gangqi layer." The Human Emperor Quining looked ashamed.

Yang Chen thought about the speed at which the other party had chased him before, which was at most ten times the speed of sound, and he immediately understood.

This speed is not enough to escape the planet's gravity.

"I don't know if there are other humans in this... parallel universe of yours, but there are still a large number of humans out there."

Yang Chen explained casually: “Your place is just one of the most backward regions. If you have the chance, you will understand. If you don’t even know the concept of a planet, no matter how much I say, you won’t understand.”

"That's what senior said."

Human Emperor Quinin looked embarrassed. As the Human Emperor of the Crocodile Dragon Continent, he should have been the most powerful and knowledgeable person.

As a result, in front of this senior, he seemed like just a child who knew nothing.

"If you are not in a hurry, you can stay in my palace first."

He was eager to know more, so he said, "I will do my best to meet all your needs."

Yang Chen thought about it, then nodded: "Alright, arrange a quiet place for me."

The Emperor of Quinine was delighted and immediately led the way: "Senior, follow me."

Yang Chen glanced around, then followed.

This city with almost no traces of technology was very small. In just a few minutes, the two arrived above a huge palace.

The palace is more than 90 meters high and is built magnificently, in stark contrast to other simple buildings in the city.

While following the Emperor Quining into the palace below, Yang Chen asked, "How many people are there on this planet?"

Although he didn’t know the concept of ‘planet’ yet, the Human Emperor Quinine knew what Yang Chen meant, and replied respectfully: “To reply to your question, before the world-destroying monster erupted, there were more than three million people in total. As for now… I’m afraid there are less than one million people.”

Just over three million people?

This population is smaller than the number of savages wandering in the Gobi Desert of the Dark Blue Star.

"Has it always been like this?" Yang Chen asked.

"Giant beasts are rampant on the Crocodile Dragon Continent. Humans can only survive in the cracks. They are in danger of losing their lives at any moment. It is difficult for anyone to die a normal death."

The Human King of Quinine sighed, and then said happily: "However, since you have killed the world-destroying beast, our Crocodile Dragon Continent has gained time to recuperate, and the population will definitely increase."

Yang Chen nodded and said nothing more.

Soon, he was brought by Emperor Quinin to a courtyard in the deepest part of the palace.

There are rockery and pools here with beautiful scenery. They are protected by some kind of prohibition and have not been destroyed by the previous tornado.

Emperor Kuining said, "Senior, please stay here temporarily. I will order people to build a better palace for you later."

"Don't bother. I won't live here for long."

Yang Chen casually took out a piece of skin that the crocodile dragon beast had shed during the battle, and asked, "What weapon do you like to use?"

The Emperor of Quinine was delighted: "Senior, you also know how to refine weapons? I like to use knives."

Yang Chen nodded, and directly used the derivative energy to shape the piece of leather into the shape of a long sword. He simply arranged the internal properties, and then integrated the derivative energy to allow it to derive data.

Emperor Quinin watched carefully but totally failed to understand this method of refining equipment.

Because the weapon refining techniques on Crocodile Dragon Star require the use of tools.

In just over ten minutes, an ordinary strange object was created.

[Dragon Hunting Sword lv.90 (Awakened): 0% (Strongly restrains dragon creatures and can cut out wind blades.)]

Very common property.

Yang Chen hadn't seen such a rubbish item in a long time.

He casually threw the long knife to the Quinine Emperor: "This is a dragon hunting knife. It has a restraining effect on dragon creatures. With this knife, it will be much easier for you to deal with the strange beasts on this planet. I need to retreat here for a while. Don't disturb me during this period."

"Yes, thank you for the sword, Senior."

When Emperor Quinin took the long sword, a look of shock flashed across his face.

Although he had never come into contact with any rare objects, he was a seventh-level evolver after all, so he still had some knowledge.

The moment he held the knife, he could sense that the knife could easily transfer energy and produce magical blade light.

"Senior, you are able to refine such a divine weapon in such a short time. You must be the best weapon refiner in the Crocodile Dragon Continent!"

He said excitedly: "With this sword in hand, I will be able to kill all the giant beasts on the Crocodile Dragon Continent and open up a pure land for our human race!"

"..."

After Emperor Kuining left, Yang Chen directly blocked the palace with a mental barrier and released mental fog to cover the area.

Next, he took out the main materials of the super crocodile dragon beast.

Although he only stripped off the materials containing the fragments of rules, the behemoth was so huge that these materials piled up into a small mountain.

"Level 9 is the last level of the high level, and Level 10 is the quasi-deification level. I hope everything goes well."

Yang Chen sat cross-legged in the open space in the distance, and with a thought, he released his derivative energy, and remotely controlled the super material in front of him to shape. The main material of the ninth-level super beast was too hard, far from being comparable to dandruff.

Even with his current abilities, he can only shape it slowly.

He planned to shape the outer shape first, and then arrange the internal particles and properties last.

It took a full month before the object's shape was finally completed. A fan a hundred meters long was suspended in the air.

This fan has a very long handle, which is as long as the fan body.

During this period, Hero Luolian took away the [Heart of Eternity] and transferred the 30 million black bills to him.

However, although Egolia agreed to give another 500 million black notes, it would take ten years, and because there were more than 20,000 kilograms of genetic fluid left, it also had to be taken into account.

However, Egolia didn't know how much was left, so she rounded it off and calculated it as 200 million black notes.

In other words, Egolia still owed him 300 million black notes, which she would pay off within ten years.

Yang Chen naturally wouldn't have any objections, because the subsequent 500 million black notes were all earned for free.

When he left, he also took away the genetic fluid that Egolia used to cast her body. There were still more than 26,000 kilograms of that genetic fluid left, worth 260 million black notes.

It is also worth mentioning that something happened during this period.

Jinlun called and told Yang Chen that the Shentu clan had also joined the Dark Blue Alliance to fight against the Black Wind Mountain.

In addition, the Huyan clan also showed signs of joining the Dark Blue Alliance, which surprised Yang Chen very much.

And on this day, the day when he began to arrange the attributes of the fan, Huyan Lingxi called him.

"There's news about 'Hu Yan Feng Yi' that you asked me to check."

Huyan Lingxi said solemnly, "That 'Huyan Fengyi' is indeed the ancestor of my Huyan family. He can even be regarded as the first ancestor. He was once a deified person in the cocoon breaking realm, and he was only one step away from becoming a butterfly. Do you know the three realms of deified people?"

"I know." Yang Chen nodded.

"That makes it much easier to explain."

Huyan Lingxi said solemnly, "At that time, the ancestor was about to ascend to a higher dimension, but she was worried about the Huyan clan, so she went to the A-level area. I don't know how she got a creation from a high-level civilization. It was originally a legacy for my Huyan clan, but on her way back, she was spotted by Black Wind Mountain, so she asked her companions to bring the creation back to Area D0319, but she herself never showed up again."

"A creation of an advanced civilization?"

Yang Chen couldn't help but think of what Jin Lun had said to him at the beginning, that the Dark Blue Alliance was suspected to be the creation of an advanced civilization, with an astonishing background.

Huyan Lingxi spoke again: "According to the information you provided, the current ancestor of my Huyan clan used the blood search method to find that ancestor, and then guess what happened?"

"What happened?" Yang Chen was puzzled.

Huyan Lingxi said meaningfully: "The ancestor Huyan Fengyi asked me, the Huyan clan, to join the Dark Blue Alliance and obey the Dark Blue Alliance's orders."

"The Huyan clan plans to join the Dark Blue Alliance. Was it Huyan Fengyi's idea?"

Yang Chen was surprised: "Do you know the reason?"

"It's not clear yet. There are many people in the tribe who oppose it."

Huyan Lingxi said: "Because of the gap in records, most people in the clan don't know the existence of the ancestor Huyan Fengyi, and they are very resistant to such a strange arrangement."

"Very normal." Yang Chen smiled.

At this time, Huyan Lingxi said again: "The old ancestor also knows about your existence and knows that the previous incident was a misunderstanding, but..."

"But what?" Yang Chen asked hurriedly.

"She asked you to see her as soon as possible and obey her instructions." Huyan Lingxi said.

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh: "I don't want to say dirty words, but I want to ask, what is her current strength?"

"The eighth level is the limit, not far from the ninth level. After all, this is a resurrection of a deified person at the peak of the Cocoon Realm. It is only a matter of time before he returns to the peak."

Huyan Lingxi said: "That person... is very strong. To be honest, I don't like her very much because she is planning to start a war and try to unite all the remaining forces in Area D0319 to go to war with Black Wind Mountain."

"How confident is she? Does she have any backup plan? Behind Black Wind Mountain is..."

Yang Chen paused, and said in a deep voice: “There is a high probability that there is a level 6 civilization supporting Black Wind Mountain. Going to war with Black Wind Mountain is like hitting a rock with an egg.”

"Level 6 civilization?!"

Huyan Lingxi's expression changed slightly: "Where did you get the information? Is it credible?"

"Ninety percent true."

Yang Chen did not reveal the source of the information: "What is Hu Yan's plan?"

"Except for the elders who unconditionally supported that person, everyone else was very resistant."

Huyan Lingxi said: "District D0319 and Black Wind Mountain have a deep blood feud. We all acknowledge this and will not run away from it. But if we start a war now, the chances of winning are too low. We can even say that there is no chance of winning at all."

“How about I kill that person and resolve the internal conflict?” Yang Chen asked.

"Don't mess around."

Huyan Lingxi quickly stopped him: "Let's not talk about whether you can defeat her. Her identity is very orthodox. She is the undisputed queen of District D0319. Because she can control the destiny of District D0319, our hope of returning to District D0319 lies in her."

"Control destiny?" Yang Chen was surprised.

"We can pretend to obey her, but it's better not to go against her. Black Wind Mountain is the enemy of all of us in District D0319. Without Black Wind Mountain, we wouldn't have experienced the great disaster, and there wouldn't be wastelanders. What she is doing is to seek justice for us and those who died in the war."

Huyan Lingxi said: "She is our nominal leader after all. If you don't like her, just pretend you don't know and don't do anything else, lest you get the bad reputation of a master-eater for no reason."
