Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 171 The Great Plains! A Miracle from the Beast God! Constructing Dark Elf Unit Buildings! (Please Subscribe)

Above the vast and boundless beastman grasslands.

A handsome and upright figure stood tall.

It was none other than Lin Yi!

Instead of returning directly to the Forgotten Swamp, after leaving the Death Gobi, he went to the Orcish Grasslands to see if it was indeed ruled by demonic creatures as rumored.

He only realized this after he arrived here.

What does it mean to say that hearing is unreliable and seeing is believing?

Legend has it that the demons built numerous demon nests here, transforming countless orcs and magical beasts from the grasslands into demonic creatures. However, after searching extensively, he found almost no demonic creatures.

On the contrary, there are a great many orcs and magical beasts.

He even saw orc-built cities standing near fertile grasslands.

Furthermore, orc legions hunt monsters on the grasslands.

What exactly happened to the demons?

"They actually withdrew their army so thoroughly that they even abandoned such a good place as the Orcish Plains."

Lin Yi was puzzled.

If he were a high-ranking member of the demon race, he would surely have built one demon nest after another here, imprisoning the orc race and feeding them with his blood.

After all, the orcs' reproductive ability is astonishing.

They are even more terrifying than humans.

It is very suitable as a blood-feeding resource for transforming demonic creatures and even for breeding demons.

What he saw now was the orcs living freely on the grasslands, far more comfortable than the intelligent races in other regions.

This is illogical.

"Could it be that the war in the other-dimensional world didn't develop in the direction the demons had anticipated, causing them to be too preoccupied with the Dark Continent?"

"That doesn't make sense either. Even if there are difficulties, with the Demon Race's resources, surely they can send out a few demons of god-like status?"

"Take this beastman grassland for example."

"Even an ordinary demon god would be enough to sweep across the land."

"By establishing a few more demon nests, we can obtain a continuous supply of blood to nurture demons..."

While pondering, Lin Yi arrived above a large city.

He remained hidden behind the void, looking down at the orc city below.

The city is home to more than a million orcs.

There are burly bear-men, lion-men, and tiger-men; there are bloated pig-men; there are extremely beautiful and alluring fox-men; and there are also rat-men with shifty eyes, dog-headed men, and so on.

It even includes the legendary Kodo behemoths, Behemoths, and other war-fighting races.

The Behemoth Zombie King under Lin Yi's command was a Golden Behemoth at the peak of the Saint rank in his previous life.

"It's truly prosperous and thriving!"

Seeing the scene inside the city, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Look at the lives of these orcs, and then look at the days he spent in the Forgotten Swamp—it's like comparing heaven and earth.

Lin Yi's figure flickered and appeared on the streets of the city.

He enveloped himself with the laws of space and remained behind the void, so no orc could detect his presence.

As long as he doesn't show himself, even a deity of the Old Divine Tree's level cannot sense him.

The old divine tree was able to pinpoint his location because he appeared in the real world while vying for the Dark Tree of Life.

If he stays hidden in the space and doesn't come out, the old divine tree won't notice.

It took him half an hour to tour the entire city.

Finally, they stood before a rather magnificent temple.

"The fluctuations of divine power, the power of faith!"

Lin Yi's gaze passed through the orcs coming and going, constantly entering and leaving the temple, and settled on a statue standing in the temple.

Inside the statue, he saw a ball of extremely pure energy.

This energy does not belong to any force in the origin of the world.

It does not exist within the Heaven and Earth Demon Network.

This is the power of faith!

In addition, he also sensed fluctuations of divine power on the statue.

Lin Yi thought to herself, "The beast god protects the beastmen in the city, and he can hear their prayers. If danger occurs, the beast god can descend and manifest through the statue."

"That's really rare!"

"I also saw the statue of the Goddess of Darkness when I was in the Dark Elf tribe."

"It contains only a faint trace of faith power."

"As for fluctuations in divine power, there is absolutely none."

"On the other hand, the statue of this beast god is extremely powerful in terms of both divine energy fluctuations and faith power."

Lin Yi speculated that the reason why the orc race was able to develop so well must be related to this beast god. He may even have descended to the orc grasslands to help the orcs fight against the demonic calamity.

For ordinary beings, the more miracles are manifested, the more genuine their faith becomes.

No miracles are performed, no believers are rescued from danger...

Who would believe in a god?

Lin Yi did not linger and left the city in a flash.

He then traveled to other areas of the Beastman Plains, and finally sensed the aura of the evil power of the abyss in the southwestern region of the plains.

He stood in space hundreds of kilometers away.

They did not approach any further.

His gaze pierced through space, landing on several black buildings thousands of meters high, nestled against a continuous mountain range.

That is the demon's lair.

As you can see, a dark red beam of light pierces through the clouds above the Demon Nest, and a large number of winged creatures, all of them demons exuding the pure abyss aura, are swirling around it.

On the ground, there are also different kinds of demons and a massive army of demonized creatures.

They are carrying corpses.

The corpses primarily originated from monsters, followed by orcs.

All the corpses were transported into the demon's lair to breed demons.

"It seems there are no demons of god-like status in charge..."

Lin Yi couldn't help but have the idea of ​​destroying these demon nests.

But after thinking about it for a moment, he gave up on the idea.

Destroying a few demon lairs is pointless.

Since demon nests exist all over the world, losing a few is of little consequence to the demon race.

Most importantly, the mountain range behind these demon nests is part of the Saint Avar Mountains, and even more demonic beasts reside deep within the Saint Avar Mountains.

There might be a demon god of god-like status presiding over it.

If we alert them, it will be a losing proposition.

Lin Yi suddenly remembered something and communicated with the system in her mind: "System, you said before that if I obtain the troop buildings of the demon race or the angel race, I can also summon demons and angels."

"Does that mean that if I move these demon nests back to my territory, I can summon demons?"

—【Yes, host, but only if you can control the core—the Heart of the Demon Nest. Generally, the Heart of the Demon Nest is held by demons at the level of demon gods. You should be mentally prepared when you try to seize the Demon Nest.】

"..."

Lin Yi didn't linger and turned to leave.

Then it tore through space and completely left the Beastman Plains.

When he reappeared, he was already above a swamp. He had crossed the Saint-Yavar Mountains and returned to the Forgotten Swamp.

Looking down at the endless swamp, Lin Yi inexplicably felt a sense of returning home.

Ever since he came into this world, he has been staying in the Forgotten Swamp.

This was my first time traveling far from home.

They traversed three major regions: the Dark Forest, the Death Desert, and the Beastman Grassland.

Putting everything else aside, at least my horizons have been broadened considerably.

After several more teleportations, Lin Yi successfully returned to his territory.

"Among the major regions, the Forgotten Swamp is actually the smallest. It stretches approximately 50,000 kilometers horizontally and only about 80,000 kilometers vertically, not even comparable to the Dark Forest."

"Furthermore, the environment is the worst in the Forgotten Swamp."

"Almost the entire area is covered by swamps."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Back then, this was the main battlefield between the Elven Empire and the Demon Race, causing the most damage. In the thousands of years that followed, no force came to reshape the environment here."

"Over time, it has become what it is now."

"It's alright. Once I become a god, modifying the environment of the Forgotten Swamp won't be difficult."

Lin Yi comforted herself.

He then teleported to an underground space beneath the inner city.

Then, using the power of the earth element law, the area of ​​this underground space was forcibly expanded.

Next, he connected several underground spaces in other areas, bringing into view the underground world where the spatial prison containing the rock demon Bradley and the six-winged angel Philomia was located.

Once this process was completed, all the underground spaces were integrated together.

This created an underground world with a diameter of tens of kilometers.

The size of this underground world is almost the same as the size of the inner city.

To ensure the stability of this underground world, Lin Yi also used various laws to reinforce it. As long as there are no god-level powerhouses fighting above, this underground world will not collapse.

Only then did Lin Yi feel relieved.

He then took out four orbs of light from his spatial belt.

Each of these orbs of light seals a dark tree of life.

In addition, Lin Yi also took out the two tree seeds that looked like black crystals.

"System, it's up to you now!"

—【A good host.】

As the system responded, a dazzling golden light fell from the void, enveloping the two tree species and the four orbs of light.

Soon, the two tree seeds fell to the ground and quickly took root and sprouted.

The four orbs of light also collapsed at the same time, revealing four enormous ancient trees, one of which was hundreds of meters tall and was the Dark Life Tree from the Naga race.

"What kind of power is this?"

"I can't move at all!"

"I feel like my body is mutating..."

"Your Majesty, Elf King, what are you doing to us?"

Voices emanated from the four Dark Trees of Life; they were their own sentience, filled with panic and fear of the unknown.

Some of them even tried to resist, but were directly suppressed by the golden light of the system.

Just moments later, all the sound disappeared.

Those two tree seeds grew into two towering trees, each over 100 meters tall.

—[Host, they have all been converted into troop buildings in your territory, capable of summoning dark elf units.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi checked the information of the six Dark Life Trees and found that they were all low-level buildings, and each tree could only summon fifteen Dark Elf units per day.

There were five more than when it was at a lower level than the Tree of Life.

This is because of the enhanced aura of the [House of Gods].

Lin Yi waved her right hand, and a spatial rift appeared in front of her, from which a continuous stream of energy crystals poured out.

These energy crystals were the harvest of the elven army in the swampy area outside the city, and were stored in the territory's warehouse.

He used his spatial powers to move it over.

There are approximately two million of them.

After estimating the upgrade requirements, Lin Yi said to the system, "System, upgrade all six Dark Trees of Life to top-tier troop buildings!"

—【A good host.】
