Chapter 681: Wolf Lord and Sand King! Natives of the World?
Chapter 681: Wolf Lord and Sand King! Natives of the World?
The scorching sun hung high in the sky, casting its rays upon the vast, yellowish desert that stretched towards the distant horizon. Yet, beneath this desert, where one would expect to find the adjacent land, there existed a vast expanse of lush, deep green.
Within this verdant realm, an indescribable fluctuation emanated, signifying an overwhelming vitality that starkly contrasted with the lifeless wasteland surrounding it.
Even from above, one could not see the end of this green world, and it seemed slightly hollow, with each ripple creating a space-like ripple and bubble.
This world, still in the process of formation, was being stirred by the arrival of numerous figures, each bringing with them waves of energy.
Su Ping had arrived early, as had the entire Western Army, eagerly awaiting this moment. Not only them, but the entire Dragon Nation, the Sand Nation, and the Wolf Nation of the Great Plains were all keenly interested in this small, newly-fused world.
The attention wasn't limited to these three nations; many other Beast Tamer countries were also voicing their opinions, with the Eagle Nation being the most vocal.
The spokesperson from the Eagle Nation was straightforward and blunt: this new, fused small world should not belong solely to the three nations, including the Dragon Nation, but to all Beast Tamers worldwide.
They argued that all Beast Tamers and their nations had the right to explore this world.
However, before the Dragon Nation could respond, the Wolf Lord from the Great Plains had already sent a message: anyone who dared to interfere, except for those bordering the three nations, would face dire consequences.
Enemies to all!
Soon after, the Sand Nation agreed with the Wolf Lord's statement, and as the only human nation among the three, the Dragon Nation naturally followed suit.
While the competition for this world was crucial, the correct approach was to prioritize exclusion, especially since it appeared on the outskirts of the three nations.
Undoubtedly, the Dragon Nation was the most powerful among the three, but their leaders understood that their demands and interests did not conflict.
They knew that the Dragon Nation sought control over this land, the vast territorial area, and the geographical modifications that would come with it.
Second, they desired the beasts and resources within.
For the other two nations, their primary concern was resources, followed by beasts, and finally, territorial claims.
While Ferocious Beasts also had territorial demands, in reality, the high-ranking Ferocious Beasts within the Ferocious Beast Empire had territories so vast that they couldn't even count them all.
These beasts didn't manage their territories; at most, they claimed the prey within them as their own.
However, in this boundless wilderness filled with sandstorms, there was no need for such complexity. Engaging in direct conflict with the Dragon Nation and the other two nations for food was not worth the trouble.
It was a losing proposition.
Therefore, neither the Wolf Lord nor the Sand King could be used as pawns by outsiders, and a direct, legendary clash over this territory was out of the question.
That would be sheer stupidity.
Consequently, the three nations maintained a tacit understanding when dealing with external matters.
However, this understanding did not extend to internal conflicts, and they would not hold back when fighting among themselves.
As the figures arrived, their terrifying auras were unleashed without restraint, their intentions clear.
Su Ping, however, remained unconcerned. He gazed down at the vast, fused small world beneath him, which seemed to envelop the Xi Hai, Xi Mo, and Xiliang provinces with a natural, green barrier.
Additionally, there were undulating mountains connecting the land to the world, creating a natural buffer zone.
This geographical formation would greatly benefit the Dragon Nation.
Beyond that, Su Ping couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of it all.
The rich life force and vitality had given birth to a lush, verdant world, like a paradise created by the Maker, with the land resembling a sand table arranged at the Creator's whim.
This place exuded a unique charm, an allure that was hard to describe.
"We must take this area!" Su Ping had made up his mind. He looked into the distance, towards a relatively special location.
The Han Sea Desert of the Sand Nation, the Great Plains of the Wolf Nation, and the Western Three Provinces of the Dragon Nation—all were vast territories. Yet, these three regions shared a common border.
Here, a vast Gobi Canyon stretched out. It wasn't particularly large, but it was an ideal gathering spot.
Su Ping, reluctant to leave, followed the Divine Dragon Legend, with the Wolf Saint and five other Holy Spirit-level experts—the Cloud Saint, Mulberry Saint, Poison Saint, Yuan Saint, and Feather Saint—in tow. They flew over a small world that was about to take shape, arriving above a place known as Danhun Cliff.
This was the anchor point where the three nations met. Undoubtedly, it was the most suitable place for the three parties to negotiate.
However, to Su Ping's surprise, the Dragon Nation's delegation was the slowest to arrive. As they reached the sky above the cliff, a hoarse voice rang out, "Divine Dragon, you're late!"
The Divine Dragon Legend smiled faintly, "Wolf King, it's you who arrived too quickly. But that's understandable; the Great Plains are indeed not far from Danhun Cliff, so it's normal to arrive swiftly!"
"The center of the Han Sea Desert's vortex is further away than your Dragon Nation, and the Sand King has already arrived," a dissatisfied voice retorted. Simultaneously, a dull voice impatiently added, "Enough chatter, let's get to business!"
On the dark and imposing Danhun Cliff, several figures sat or stood, and behind them, on both sides of the cliff, were even more numerous dark figures.
These were the entourages of the two factions.
Su Ping finally landed and got a clear view of the figures on the cliff.
Leading them was a silver Celestial Wolf, not particularly large, and even somewhat gaunt. However, compared to the Celestial Wolf Su Ping had encountered before, this aged wolf's fur was a unique shade of dark silver, like liquid metal flowing, adding an extraordinary sense of grandeur and nobility.
Behind it stood five massive Celestial Wolves, each exuding an aura more powerful than the Wolf Saint's wolf. Their strength was evident.
Su Ping glanced at them and then turned his attention to the other side.
The Han Sea Desert of the Sand Nation was a place he knew little about. Even within the Dragon Nation, there wasn't much information available.
The Sand Nation, unlike the Wolf Nation of the Great Plains, had remained relatively inactive and showed no particular ambition. The desert terrain limited their attributes, development, and mobility.
Leading the Sand Nation was a giant golden scorpion, its body shimmering in the sunlight. As the wind blew sand across its body, it appeared to have layers of sand flowing over it, like a sand-formed armor, making it exceptionally unique.
What kind of pet beast was this? Su Ping wondered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged.
As he observed them, they, too, were scrutinizing him. Especially the Wolf King, who, after a brief glance at the Divine Dragon Legend, fixed his aged but clear eyes on Su Ping, ignoring the other Holy Spirit-level experts who had arrived.
Su Ping smiled at the old wolf's gaze.
The Wolf King finally spoke, "So, this is the Dragon Nation's Vice President, Su Ping? He's indeed very young!"
The Divine Dragon Legend chuckled, "What's the matter, Wolf King? Are you not in a hurry anymore?"
The Wolf King snorted, "The Dragon Nation is brimming with talent, so we're not in a rush. But I've heard that Su, the Breeding Master, excels in wolf breeding. I wonder if he can broaden my horizons today?"
This was Old Sand's grandfather! Su Ping couldn't help but admit that the Celestial Wolf King of Qingya had good reason not to acknowledge these wolves.
Whether it was the Wolf King, the wolves behind him, or the Wolf Saint's wolves, none of them resembled Old Sand in the slightest.
Of course, the current situation was different. It was hard to tell who was the more prestigious now!
Just then, a mental transmission slowly reached Su Ping. It was the Wolf Saint, "Su Ping, the Celestial Wolf with the head halo on the Wolf King's right is the Wolf King's forty-second son, the Qingya Celestial Wolf King, the father of your Solar Crown Wolf Majesty, Old Sand!"
In an instant, Su Ping's gaze shifted past the Wolf King and landed on the Qingya Celestial Wolf King.
The Celestial Wolf is a unique species. Aside from their innate Yin Moon attribute, they can also awaken other attributes.
The following few wolves exhibit noticeable changes in their elemental attributes.
Undoubtedly, this Qingya Celestial Wolf King is of the Wood Attribute, as indicated by the halo atop its head.
Perhaps due to this, it is the most agreeable among the five Celestial Wolves.
Seemingly sensing Su Ping's gaze, the Qingya Celestial Wolf King returned a surprised look.
A human-like smile then appeared on the massive wolf's head.
Even in its wolf form, Su Ping could sense the other's gentle nature.
Evidently, the rule in the Ferocious Beast World is simple: survival of the fittest.
Su Ping let out a sigh and averted his gaze.
Clearly, if they wanted to chat casually, there was no need for such a grand display.
The presence of the three parties here, including the personal appearance of the Divine Dragon Legend during the Ten Thousand Great Mountains incident, spoke volumes about their intentions.
Their purpose was clear.
After a glance at each other, the undisputed strongest, the Divine Dragon Legend, spoke first:
"Alright, let's get this over with. Do we want to see the real deal in a direct confrontation, or should we split things up first?"
The Sand King and the Wolf Lord exchanged a look, "How do you propose we divide it?"
In this world, the division of interests has always been straightforward and brutal.
There's no point in trying to make the process of dividing the spoils sound grand.
The Divine Dragon Legend spoke bluntly:
"The Dragon Nation must have control over the territory within its range, and this is non-negotiable! As for the remaining resources, the Dragon Nation can acquire them through normal competition!"
Is this a negotiation?
Although both sides had anticipated this, they still felt a bit annoyed.
However, the Divine Dragon Legend, with the Holy Dragon in the air and the White Tiger in its arms, paid no heed to their glares.
"If it's a normal competition, so be it. At most, it's just a portion of it. If the Dragon Nation wants it, they can offset the resources and pets."
The Wolf Lord spoke up.
The Sand King beside him nodded, indicating that the two leaders of the Ferocious Beast Empire had already reached a consensus beforehand.
For the Dragon Nation, these were two Legend-grade beings, and Legend-grade Ferocious Beasts were not necessarily weak.
The Divine Dragon Legend wasn't in a hurry, "Then, tell me, what do you mean by normal competition?"
The Sand King spoke in a deep voice, "We can divide this area into sections, and then split the remaining parts. Each section will be acquired through action, of course, by Emperor-grade or Holy Spirit-level beings. Other grades are also acceptable.
However, for every pet you human Beast Summoners use, we can deploy the same number! That's fair!
Each region will be decided through three rounds of trials, determining the territory, pets, and resources for each area."
This method was indeed relatively fair, and all three parties were confident in their abilities.
The Divine Dragon Legend asked directly, "What kind of action are we talking about? Do you mean a three-way battle?"
"Anything is possible. A three-way battle or a pairwise battle is fine!" The Wolf Lord replied.
The Divine Dragon Legend glanced at the two and, without rushing to respond, turned his attention to the small world that was about to merge, asking curiously:
"With this division, won't the natives have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, the Sand King and the Wolf Lord present were momentarily stunned.
They had heard about the Ten Thousand Great Mountains incident, but they hadn't heard of any particularly powerful Ferocious Beasts there.
Could it be...
However, they soon understood.
In the soon-to-merge world, even though they were somewhat distant, they still clearly sensed a powerful presence at the end of their line of sight, one that was no less formidable than theirs.
