The Last Sentinel

After Ye Feng finished speaking, the room fell into a brief silence.

Hua Xiaobai prides himself on being incredibly shrewd, having channeled all his talent into intelligence, making him quick-witted and adept at navigating social situations.

But when faced with Ye Feng's abrupt statement, "I will become Black Tower, and you will become Black Tower Guild," Hua Xiaobai's mind went blank.

This can be explained simply as follows: the boss wants to establish a massive organization similar to the Black Tower Guild, create leaderboards, and exploit its members.

This is difficult to explain. What do you mean by "you've become a black tower"? Boss, aren't we all carbon-based life forms? Aren't we all human? Aren't we all made of flesh and blood? How did you suddenly transform us into a building? A secret realm, a sacred place being tested? I don't understand what you're saying at all!

Ye Feng sat to the side, waiting for Hua Xiaobai to digest the information.

Ye Feng's words are inseparable from this breakthrough.

Previously, although Ye Feng had merged with the Perfect Origin Will, it was a shallow fusion, similar to the fusion between the Great Wall Watchers and the Surface Carbon Source. They had a close cooperative relationship.

During this Gu refining process, the Perfect Origin was completely devoured by Ye Feng's spiritual power, and the Perfect Continent became a part of Ye Feng's body. At this moment, no movement on the Perfect Continent could escape Ye Feng's senses. In fact, Ye Feng could even control the laws of life and death on the Perfect Continent.

This is the power of a tenth-grade Chaos Gu!

The ninth rank signifies the laws of the Great Dao!

The tenth rank means you have attained the Great Dao!

Of course, Ye Feng's current path is still very weak, both pitiful and incredibly voracious.

The twelve mythical beasts of physics can only allow Ye Feng to temporarily establish order in the [Red Wasteland], but are not enough for the [Red Wasteland] to develop.

The advice from the experts in the chat group on how to develop [Red Wasteland] is to use sacrifices!

To put it bluntly, it's cannibalism.

As a higher life form, the primordial will devours life, civilization, bonds, karma, light and dark matter, and elemental crystals.

Furthermore, the Great Love Immortal King even gave Ye Feng an example: the most famous Black Tower in your Milky Way is a very typical cannibalistic source. On the surface, it is a secret realm dungeon that provides all experts with opportunities to train and become stronger, but in reality, it is a bottomless demon cave that frantically devours the souls, spirits, and physical resources of the dead.

Those powerful experts on the Black Tower's list are, in the end, nothing more than bait deliberately released by the Black Tower. The resources it gives to these experts are only one ten-thousandth, or even one millionth, of the resources it plunders from lives. The countless people who died tragically in the Black Tower are its true prey.

Listen to advice, and you'll have a full meal.

Ye Feng never considered heretics as human beings. Using heretics as nourishment was not unacceptable to Ye Feng. As long as he didn't devour carbon-based life forms, he could eat as many of the other eight life forms as he wanted!

Ye Feng is willing to kill them as long as they dare to come!

If enough people come, they'll bring enough resources! And I'll be able to grow fast enough!

So some people might ask, will Black Tower and Xu Zu suppress Ye Feng?

The answer is yes, suppression is inevitable.

But Ye Feng thought again, "I've already offended all eight fundamental wills, why should I care if one more Black Tower is after me?"

As the saying goes, if you owe me ten thousand, I'm your grandson; if you owe me a trillion, I'm your ancestor!

One more Black Tower enemy means one more Black Tower enemy!

The main theme is a poor man who is not afraid of being robbed, and a dilapidated boat that is not afraid of being battered by big waves!

The problem facing Ye Feng now is how to recruit enough people to participate in his [Red Wasteland] Secret Realm Trial!

Simple, isn't the seven-member group of Hua Xiaobai on a business trip outside the Milky Way?

If you need anything, just ask Xiaobai, he'll never have any problems!

Quite some time passed. Hua Xiaobai, suppressing the immense mental anguish, smiled slightly and said, "The boss's thoughts are indeed beyond the comprehension of us mere mortals. But boss, this business of yours can only be a one-off deal; it can't last!"

Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then realized and said, "You've misunderstood. I'm not double-crossing you."

Hua Xiaobai said, "If it's not a double-cross, then what is it? You just want me to recruit a bunch of rich, gullible people and then carry out kidnapping art, right? Everyone understands that! After all, compared to kidnapping, what I can't understand even more is this absurd and ridiculous thing like you turning into the Black Tower. How can a perfectly normal person turn into a building? It's too far-fetched. I'm more inclined to believe that you're using the Trial Grounds as an excuse to gather a bunch of rich second-generation interstellar kids for hostage kidnapping!"

Ye Feng slapped his thigh in anger, "Damn it! I'm talking about legitimate business! Not violence! I'm past the stage of accumulating initial capital through robbery. Now I want to be a legitimate businessman, doing long-term business!"

Looking at Ye Feng's serious face, Hua Xiaobai spoke in a tone befitting an ally, "I understand, I understand, boss! Of course, our external publicity should promote legitimate, long-term business! But won't what you're doing violate the [1999 Treaty]?"

Ye Feng said, "How could that be! They brought resources to our solar system for training; we didn't leave Earth on a large scale to invade the universe!"

Hua Xiaobai took out paper and pen, and while taking notes, she said, "That's right, we didn't breach the contract. So, boss, could you introduce what our secret realm dungeon mainly yields? The Black Tower dungeon has incredibly rich rewards—guaranteed rewards, advanced rewards, exclusive rewards for experts, epic achievements, legendary records, and an immortal monument! Tsk tsk, what kind of rewards do we have?"

Ye Feng said, "I haven't decided on the output yet, but I can provide you with two output paths. You can figure out how to develop them yourself! The first output is in the area of ​​mental power, especially divine reconstruction, which increases soul strength and enhances mental power. The second output is in the area of ​​technology, mainly mecha-related products!"

As Hua Xiaobai took notes, he sighed, "The boss really trusts me. He entrusted me with such an important task as making grand promises. But I'm going to make the promises too big. Boss, please don't blame me."

Ye Feng seemed to understand something. "By the way, our [Crimson Wasteland Secret Realm] has an advantage over the Black Tower. We have resurrection coins here, which allow you to revive. You can exchange dungeon points for resurrection coins, and these coins can be used an unlimited number of times in the [Crimson Wasteland Secret Realm] dungeon! This is much simpler and more user-friendly than the one-life clear of the Black Tower."

Hua Xiaobai said, "The boss is the boss; he always thinks about the trainees."

Ye Feng continued, "As for other things, I haven't thought about that much yet. Weren't you a hardcore online gamer before? You've played so many online games, so just think of this as a brand new online game server. I'm the server owner, and you're the server's lucky charm. You frantically bring in new players for me, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"

As Hua Xiaobai took notes, she said, "Boss, if you had said so earlier, I would have understood! You made it so complicated. I thought it was something amazing. Turns out it's about online games. All those years of paying 'stupidity tax' to online games can finally pay off!"

"Don't worry, I might have problems with fund allocation, but I'm absolutely reliable when it comes to recruiting people. I was the one who helped Brother Eighty start his campaign to restore the Han Dynasty. Brother Eighty barely gave me any money in the early stages. I built my empire with the help of a bunch of friends who were passionate about it. Only in the end did Brother Eighty invest a lot of money. Thinking about it now, it really feels like starting all over again..."

Hua Xiaobai looked up again and found the room empty; Ye Feng had left sometime earlier.

"What a buzzkill!" Hua Xiaobai said, somewhat bored. "A man of my stature rarely shares stories with others, and you won't even listen!"

Just then, the door opened, and a woman in silver high-heeled boots stepped in. The elven princess said softly, "Baby, who are you talking to...?"

"Get out of my way! I have things to do today, don't bother me!"

"Hey, changed your look today? A young, laid-back style for work or home?"

"No, I really have something to do today!"

"That was a great performance, now it's time to get down to business! Time to take your medicine!"

"..."
