Chapter 281 Do you want to take a rest?
Dark Continent
At this moment, not only Li Jie, Jiang Ruochan, and others, but also those who looked down from the sky, saw that the battlefield, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, was filled with fighting, between humans and monsters, and between monsters and unknown life forms.

The central region of the Dark Continent was the battlefield of gods and demons in the previous era.

This place is the burial site of countless top-tier powerhouses from the era of gods and terrifying ancient creatures. Their corpses formed forbidden zones hundreds of thousands or even millions of years after their fall.

These forbidden areas covered the mountains, rivers, and relics left over from the era of gods, polluting everything and giving birth to countless terrifying monsters.

The high-level superhumans, who were unable to fly at the moment, stayed away from the large battlefield, clearing out monsters inside and around these ancient buildings, and guarding the puppets.

Saint-level and eighth-tier legendary beings, who walk on air, either lure away monsters or join forces to kill them.

The demigod-level powerhouses, including Jiang Ruochan and others, were targeting those terrifying monsters born from the remains of gods that were still alive deep within those forbidden areas.

"For the future of humanity, kill!"

On the ground, a sixth-tier transcendent being roared. After transforming into a demon, he stood upright like a white tiger, reaching a height of over ten meters, and unleashed a fierce wind as he pounced on a monster covered in spikes.

puff! !
Sharp spikes pierced through the protective force field, instantly killing the superhuman.

But immediately a black beam of light flashed and pierced the monster's head. In the distance, a woman in her thirties had slightly red eyes, and a mirror she held out emitted a black light.

Every moment on the battlefield, superhumans die, and countless monsters are slain.

Boom! The heavens and earth roared, and the once majestic black and white 'world' in front of them trembled as a dazzling black hole figure was struck down from the sky.

The collision of the black and white domains centered on the Light and Darkness Divine Wheel caused a small mountain on the ground to collapse, unleashing a devastating impact comparable to the explosion of a megaton hydrogen bomb.

"Damn, it's a forbidden and dangerous thing, Lao Hua, let's stay away from it."

Just moments ago, Li Jie was marveling at Jiang Ruochan's growing strength. Startled, he quickly called for Hua Tian, ​​who was helping to kill the monster, to get away and avoid being targeted by the monster whose remains of a deity had been resurrected.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of kilometers away in the sky, an even more terrifying battle is breaking out.

There, a violent destructive force filled the air, shattering the sky and the earth into chaos. Crimson lightning roared, turbulent currents howled, and from time to time, a figure resembling a mountain range would flash by.

…………

In a private room at the restaurant, Zong Zheng Nanmo, dressed in a handsome school uniform, sat at the table and asked curiously, "Lord Jiang, why did you suddenly call me here? Is there something you need?"

Jiang Hou nodded and said directly, "Can your divination determine which direction around the passage contains extraordinary mineral veins?"

"Mineral vein".

“Direct calculation is definitely not possible, otherwise it wouldn’t be fortune telling, it would be seeing the future.”

Zong Zheng Nanmo thought for a moment: "However, if we change our method and use you or me as the reference point, we should be able to calculate the fortune or the auspiciousness of the day without any problem."

"That's good."

Jiang Hou smiled and said, "I'll have someone issue a long-term mission later. You, Shen Tu Ni, and Yu Jing will team up to search the three directions opposite the passage: north, south, and east."

"The main targets are those extraordinary mineral veins and resources. If we encounter powerful monsters or ferocious beasts during the exploration, we should retreat first and wait for me to take action."

The loan of two million points allowed Jiang Hou to enjoy the benefits of using a large amount of resources to enhance his strength ahead of time.

After listing the crab roe resources, which were expected to sell for 300,000 points, Jiang Hou still owed the official 1.7 million points, and he needed to find a way to pay that back.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to exchange for top-tier elemental crystals later.

As a powerful figure who commands a region, the fastest way for Jiang Hou to repay his loan is to explore and exploit extraordinary resources.

A single extraordinary metal vein is worth tens or hundreds of thousands of points. Once he finds a few large veins and eliminates surrounding threats, he can quickly repay his loan. Of course, he reaps the rewards, and even the entire Yidu branch can benefit from the spoils.

Discovering a mineral vein and clearing surrounding threats will generate a large number of tasks for mining and stationing, which is a long-term process.

After finishing their meal and paying the bill, the two walked out of the restaurant. As they parted, Zong Zheng Nanmo suddenly called out, "Lord Jiang, do you want to rest for a bit?"

"What?" Jiang Hou, who had just turned to leave, stopped in his tracks.

Zong Zheng Nanmo scratched his head: "I feel like you're so busy, it's like you never stop to rest. Actually, there's no need for that. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

"If even demigods or true gods can't hold out, then we won't be able to do anything with our limited strength."

From the time he and Jiang Hou awakened until now, Jiang Hou has given Zongzheng Nanmo the feeling of being very busy, as if he is running around 24 hours a day without stopping.

Although Jiang Hou did not show it on the surface, Zong Zheng Nanmo keenly sensed that his mind was constantly tense.

This might explain why his strength increased so rapidly, reaching the seventh rank in a short period of time.

However, Zong Zheng Nanmo felt it was unnecessary. A person's life is not just about 'cultivation'. They were only eighteen years old, which is the best time of their youth.

Moreover, Taoism advocates moderation and balance, believing that things will inevitably turn into their opposites when they reach an extreme.

People like Jiang Hou are actually very prone to getting into trouble, especially since the increase in strength is accompanied by the accumulation of pollution, and they can easily lose control, mutate, and go into a state of demonic possession if they are not careful.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Hou smiled, knowing what he was talking about.

"Moreover, I'm not used to putting my fate in other people's hands. If possible, I still hope to take control of my own destiny."

Unlike Zongzheng Nanmo, who chose to accept his fate due to a lack of talent, Jiang Hou, with his terrifying resources, prepared to seize every opportunity to strengthen himself in the face of the impending calamity.

As long as one reaches the demigod realm before the cataclysm of civilization erupts and completes the initial fusion of epochal power, even a true god can be slain.

A great catastrophe is a process, not an instantaneous destruction of the world or the entire universe.

Given some time to delve into the ruins and slay those resurrected true gods and ancient demons, his growth rate, given his evolutionary talent, will be even more terrifying.

If he could surpass the True God and the Supreme God, and step into the God King level.

With the combined power of the nine eras he has gathered, his strength will reach an unprecedented and terrifying level, shaking the ages.

At that time, all the creator gods and the Heavenly Dao will be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hou's eyes became even more determined. He waved to Zong Zheng Nanmo and turned to leave.

"What's going on?" Zong Zheng Nanmo looked at Jiang Hou's departing figure, somewhat bewildered.

What happened in that short moment? He felt that Jiang Hou had suddenly become more confident, giving him the illusion that he could sweep everything aside.

"I can't figure it out."

Zong Zhengnan scratched his head, then shook his head and walked toward the school.

Now, he and Jiang Hou, his best friend, have drifted further and further apart. The enemies, rivals, and problems they face are no longer on the same level.

Zongzheng Nanmo was aware of this, so after returning, he didn't look for Jiang Hou much, for fear of disturbing him.
