Beast Tamer: My pet has a game panel.

Chapter 554 The Crimson Flame Dragon Lord's Expectations

After Qingqiu Yaoyao finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the last member, the Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan.

"Hmph, I've chosen the War Troll Horde."

Anlan's silver pupils flashed with a sharp light as she spoke with an arrogant tone.

According to the information they obtained, the most powerful of the six troll tribes was the War Tribe, so he naturally felt arrogant as he chose that tribe as his target.

Upon hearing this, Qingqiu Yaoyao appeared slightly surprised, while Chen Ying remained expressionless.

Ye Mo, who was standing to the side, pondered for a moment and then nodded to himself.

For Anlan, the Nine-Sky Shadow Rat who is proficient in both spatial and dark magic, if he really had to choose from the remaining three troll tribes, the War Tribe would indeed be the most suitable for him.

After all, the Shadow Tribe was skilled in dark power, while the Thunder Tribe seemed to have a certain advantage over Dark Tide. Therefore, the War Tribe became the most suitable for him.

Moreover, the War Trolls are most outstanding in physical strength and group combat, but they are rather ordinary in terms of mystery. Under such circumstances, even if they are the strongest tribe among the six tribes, Dark Lan will at least have an easier time escaping by relying on his ability to travel through space.

With this in mind, Ye Mo began to recall the map of the Troll Plane, lost in thought.

His goal this time is a legendary spirit crystal, and to obtain such a precious item, he must gain more than 10,000 monarch merits in this interdimensional war.

Destroying a ritual totem will earn three thousand royal merits, which means he would have to destroy at least three ritual totems to accumulate that many merits.

Otherwise, if one relies on other methods to obtain interdimensional war merits, it would be very difficult for even a peak fifth-tier transcendent to accumulate more than a thousand monarch merits.

Therefore, in this planar war, in addition to the Frost Tribe he had chosen, he also had to destroy the ritual totems of the remaining unchosen Thunder and Shadow Tribes.

Therefore, he not only needs to be extremely careful in this mission, but also needs to be fast! Otherwise, if Nine-Sky Shadow Rat Anlan or the others get there first, he will be completely helpless.

After thinking it over, Ye Mo pursed his lips, his eyes hardening. He had been preparing for this interdimensional war for far too long, at least compared to the time he had spent cultivating. Therefore, he had to do his utmost in this mission to gain the most merit.

If he fails to obtain a legendary spirit crystal this time, then the only way he might get one after breaking through to the sixth rank is probably after that.

……

The meeting concluded quickly within the conference hall.

Lord Li, the executor of this plan, has already explained everything that needed to be said, done, and reminded. All that everyone needs to do now is to conserve their energy in preparation for the start of the war.

A short while later, after the meeting concluded with the words of Lord Li and the two Dragon Lords, all the powerful figures in the hall left and headed to the Earthshaking City base outside.

Without wasting any time, all participants in the interdimensional war gathered at the spatial passage connecting the troll plane, lined up, and entered the passage one by one to head to the Demon-Slaying City in another world.

Those below the legendary level can travel to the Troll Plane through spatial channels without alerting the Plane's will, which is why they were allowed to go ahead first.

As for those legendary figures, they wouldn't touch the spatial passage until the official start of the war. Otherwise, if they disturbed the will of the otherworldly plane awakened by the troll race, things could get quite troublesome.

Although the trolls from the other dimension are already trapped, without the strength to break through the Demon-Slaying City, they can only wait to die if they have no means to escape to other dimensions.

But if those trolls are really provoked, even if Demon City doesn't fall, many extraordinary beings below the legendary level will likely perish.

"Brother Ye Mo, what do you think the other side of the spatial passage is like? Although I learned a lot about the geography of other worlds when I was studying, the descriptions in pictures and texts are definitely different from seeing it with my own eyes, right?"

Standing at the very back, Qingqiu Yaoyao glanced at the spatial passage and saw one powerful figure after another disappearing with the help of spatial power. A sense of anticipation and tension arose in her heart.

"I haven't been there either, so I'm not sure, but it should be similar to what we've seen before," Ye Mo said casually as he turned his head.

Qingqiu Yaoyao pouted, tiptoed and glanced to the side a few times, then looked at Ye Mo and smiled, "This is my first time truly going to another plane. Before, I had only been to places like secret realms."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ying, who was standing upright in front of him, turned around and said with a smile, "Actually, this is also my first time going to another world."

"what?"

"Teacher Chen Ying, you're just like me?"

Ye Mo and Qingqiu Yaoyao looked somewhat surprised. In their opinion, Teacher Chen Ying was already quite old, having been a superhuman for almost twenty years, yet she had never been to another world in all these years.

"Otherwise what? Don't think that just because I've experienced a lot, I've necessarily been to another world. You should know that even in the entire Yanhuang Alliance, apart from some professions that specialize in other worlds, very few other extraordinary individuals can go to other worlds before reaching the fifth rank." Chen Ying crossed his arms, looking speechless, as if to say that you don't even know this.

Although the Flame Emperor Alliance has opened countless dimensional portals since the revival of spiritual energy, the vast majority of them are temporary. Under these circumstances, very few extraordinary individuals can reliably travel to other worlds.

Aside from those professionals who specialize in otherworldly realms, anyone else who wants to enter another world either needs to be strong enough to be selected by the Flame Emperor Alliance, or they can only rely on luck.

As a peak fourth-tier beast tamer, even with his fourth-tier domain-level combat power, Chen Ying still couldn't meet the qualification standards.

Another point is that he is only a teacher at Yunteng Advanced Academy, not a teacher at one of the top ten academies. Otherwise, given his strength and unique talent, he would still have a chance to explore other planes.

"Huh? I remember Brother Ye Mo went to another world before, but he hadn't even officially enrolled in school yet." Qingqiu Yaoyao covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise.

Given her status, traveling to some safer smaller worlds wouldn't be too difficult; it's just that she's still in school and has been too lazy to go. That's why she didn't find traveling to other worlds particularly difficult. It's just that the troll world, their opponent in this dimensional war, is a bit special, which makes her somewhat looking forward to it.

Seeing the somber aura emanating from Teacher Chen Ying, Ye Mo quickly coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, I was just lucky back then. During my training, I happened to discover a newly opened temporary spatial passage, which is how I managed to gain entry." Hearing this, Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew he was no match for Ye Mo, the thought that he hadn't even been to another world in decades, while Ye Mo had gone before even starting university, inevitably stirred some emotions within him.

However, he was a diligent beast tamer with a strong will, and he quickly calmed down.

Just as the three of them finished talking about the other world, a small Nine-Sky Shadow Rat named Anlan remained motionless on the ground not far from them, afraid of attracting the attention of Ye Mo and the others.

He had never been to another world before.

……

Silver light flashed from the dimensional portal, each flash signifying that an extraordinary powerhouse was being transported to another world.

Inside a high-rise building on the south side of the dimensional portal, three powerful beings looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the extraordinary experts queuing up to travel to another world.

"Tomorrow is the day the war begins. I hope everything goes smoothly and that everyone comes back alive," a middle-aged man with red dragon horns murmured.

“Although I have made ample preparations, unexpected events are always unpredictable. Chi Yan, you should think more about yourself. If something unexpected happens over there, then you'll have to step up in the legendary battle.” The hunched-over old man, Li Zhongguang, said with a slight smile and a calm expression.

The person he was looking at was none other than the Crimson Flame Dragon Lord of the Dragon Palace.

Upon hearing Lord Li's words, the Blackwater Dragon Lord standing to the side frowned. He looked at the Crimson Flame Dragon Lord, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he closed his mouth and remained silent.

Even among legendary figures, there are differences in strength. If the Crimson Flame Dragon Lord is considered powerful even among legendary figures, then this Dragon Lord, who has only recently broken through, is only slightly stronger than a weak legendary figure.

Therefore, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't do much.

Crimson Flame Dragon Lord laughed and shook his head, saying, "Palace Master Li, the chances of the situation you described are too low."

“I’ve seen the people you’ve chosen to destroy the ritual totem, and I’m familiar with the props you’ve prepared for them. With their strength, the chances of them succeeding in destroying the ritual totem this time are at least 50% or more.”

"Even if they're unlucky, they should still be able to destroy two or three ritual totems, and as long as they destroy three ritual totems, that will be enough."

A glint of light flashed in Li Zhongguang's eyes, and he said with a serious expression, "What if only two ritual totems are destroyed? You should know that the six ritual totems of the troll race are connected to the will of the plane, and destroying one will have a significant impact on its effect."

"But destroying just two ritual totems will only cancel the suppression of fifth and sixth-tier transcendents by the plane's will, and will have no effect on our battle."

After so many years of infiltration and investigation, they already knew the function and effect of the other party's ritual totem, as well as the impact of destroying the ritual totem on the dimensional will power that the troll race relied on.

If only one ritual totem is destroyed, the opponent's dimensional will will simply cancel its suppression of fifth-tier transcendent beings.

However, if the two ritual totems are destroyed, the opposing plane's will will cancel the suppression of the sixth-tier transcendent.

This was a choice made by the troll race after careful consideration when establishing their ritual totem, and from the perspective of its impact on the battlefield, this choice was indeed correct.

After all, even if the suppression of fifth- or sixth-tier superhumans is removed, at most it will be a defeat in the battlefield of superhumans below the legendary level. The troll race relies on the foundation accumulated by various tribes and the defensive facilities that have been built up long ago. Even if they can't win, they can still hold off for a while.

Conversely, if the destruction of the ritual totem causes problems with its suppression of legends, that would be a true catastrophe for the troll race.

Therefore, destroying only two ritual totems would not have a decisive impact on the overall battlefield situation.

However, if any more ritual totems are destroyed in the future, then the situation will be completely different.

After the three ritual totems are destroyed, the plane's will will cancel the soul lock on beings below the legendary level in the other world. This means that the troll race will be unable to discover the location of the fifth and sixth level transcendent beings on the Flame Emperor Alliance's side.

Although it may seem like it has no impact, this way, fifth and sixth-tier superhumans who can hide their whereabouts can find a way to infiltrate the troll race's rear and secretly destroy the remaining ritual totems.

After all, the reason why Ye Mo, Qingqiu Yaoyao, and a few other fourth-tier extraordinary beings were chosen to carry out the infiltration plan in this interdimensional war, instead of other high-tier extraordinary beings, is because beings who have condensed a complete soul will be locked by the will of the plane, making it impossible to hide anything, let alone infiltrate.

However, if the soul lock of the plane's will is removed, and this real-time positioning shackle is lost, those extraordinary powerhouses who are good at both explosive power and concealment will find it much easier to attack the ritual totem than Ye Mo and his group.

In this way, as long as the three ritual totems are destroyed, the troll race will only suffer a slow death, watching as the ritual totems are destroyed one by one, and then walking towards their final demise.

Of course, there may be many casualties among the superhumans on the Yanhuang Alliance side during this process, because the more desperate the situation, the more fierce the counterattack of the troll race's powerful warriors will be.

If four ritual totems are destroyed, the suppression of the legendary powerhouse's soul or domain by the plane's will will be weakened in one aspect; if five ritual totems are destroyed, the other aspect will also be weakened.

Until the last ritual totem is destroyed, the suppression of that plane's will over all living beings will be eliminated, and the battle will become a truly fair fight, where all extraordinary beings will be able to unleash their full power.

Of course, this so-called fair battle will not take into account the difference in the number and strength of the two sides' strong fighters.

"Palace Master Li, you don't need to say anything more. Even if a situation arises where not a single ritual totem is destroyed, I will still step forward without hesitation." Crimson Flame Dragon Lord looked at Li Zhongguang, who had a solemn expression, and smiled before continuing.

"Back then, I would have to fight desperately, which would just mean defeating a few more legendary opponents. But you are different. If you really don't even destroy a single ritual totem, then trying to break through the will of the plane might be even worse for you than for me."

Li Zhongguang frowned, shook his head upon hearing this, and said, "If the worst-case scenario really happens, I'm afraid my old body will really have to fight to the death, just as you said. Even if we win, I'll need to recuperate for a long time."

"If that's the case, then we haven't really gained much from this interdimensional war." Crimson Flame Dragon Lord sighed, his gaze fixed on the figures at the interdimensional passage outside the window: "I just hope that Ye Mo and the others can have a slightly smoother time. Even if they can't destroy all four ritual totems, they should at least destroy two."
