#549 - Investiture of the Gods
Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Leng Xiaoyao felt endless gratitude and awe in his heart. He immediately bowed deeply to Li Chengfeng to show his loyalty and appreciation.
His mother's revenge was finally achieved, and his efforts and hard work were rewarded in the most satisfactory way at this moment.
He deeply knew that his future achievements would become limitless with the growth of Li Chengfeng's strength.
The reason why Li Chengfeng built such a team was precisely because of his desire for massive resources, which was also the common goal they pursued.
However, the suppressed Leng Fengxian did not give up struggling. He stared at Li Chengfeng fiercely and threatened, "Li Chengfeng, you will regret this!
I gave you the opportunity to accept me, but you didn't. You will miss out on many things!"
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng just smiled indifferently and responded, "Nothing in this world is perfect; there will always be regrets. If you pursue perfection in everything, you will definitely live a very hard life."
Changing the subject, Li Chengfeng suddenly explored the use of the "Cauldron Bottom Source" method, extracting a storage ring from Leng Fengxian's body.
This ring was originally cleverly hidden by Leng Fengxian in a small space supported by a rib, thinking it was foolproof, but unexpectedly, Li Chengfeng easily discovered it.
Leng Fengxian looked at Li Chengfeng in disbelief and asked in shock, "How is this possible? I refined one of my ribs into a space to store the ring. How could you possibly find it?"
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and explained, "Do you know why you failed? Because you were too arrogant.
If you had chosen to escape from the beginning, I might not have been able to catch you.
But it was precisely because you thought you could turn defeat into victory that your overconfidence ruined you.
And my sensitivity to the power of space allows me to easily sense the things hidden in your body. So, Leng Fengxian, you have lost completely this time."
Leng Fengxian's mood was heavy and helpless at this moment. He deeply knew that all his resources had fallen into Li Chengfeng's hands, which undoubtedly paved the way for Li Chengfeng's cultivation path.
After obtaining these resources, it would no longer be an unattainable dream for Li Chengfeng to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, or even the mid-Nascent Soul stage, which greatly alleviated his urgent need for resources.
No longer eager to launch a war, Li Chengfeng began to plan for a longer-term future.
War, this cruel word, is always accompanied by the death of countless lives and endless resentment.
In this battle, the Demon Clan and the rebels suffered heavy losses. Hundreds of thousands of lives disappeared on the battlefield, blood flowed like rivers, and resentment soared to the sky.
However, Li Chengfeng possessed a special ability. He could absorb these resentful spirits and blood energy into his Hell Space for conversion, turning them into resources beneficial to himself.
Li Chengfeng did not waste the soul power of those who died in battle either. He stored them all up, planning to slowly hand them over to Granny Suo in the future, so that she could use these powers to ripen spiritual herbs, stimulate secret techniques, or curse enemies!
Lifespan is a particularly precious resource at any time, because although war can bring temporary victory, it also comes with a huge price.
With the surrender of the Demon Clan and the rebels, the number of prisoners under Li Chengfeng's command surged, reaching hundreds of thousands.
These prisoners were not disposed of at will but were assigned to various labors according to Li Chengfeng's pre-determined plan, such as smelting iron and mining, forging weapons, and planting spiritual herbs.
Their hard work not only accelerated the construction and development of the Far West, but also made this land glow with unprecedented vitality.
At the same time, the sea beasts were also contributing their strength to the prosperity of the Far West.
After gaining a firm foothold in Fire Demon City, they quickly expanded to the surrounding areas, incorporating the deserted cities left by the fleeing rebels and the Fire Demon Clan into their territory.
In order to improve the water conservancy conditions in the Far West, the sea beasts brought in a water channel thousands of feet wide and hundreds of feet deep from the West Sea, bringing valuable water and irrigation convenience to this arid land.
With the joint efforts of the prisoners and the sea beasts, the Far West quickly rose. Workshops and medicine fields sprang up, and the entire region presented a positive and prosperous scene.
In order to consolidate this achievement and further expand its influence, Li Chengfeng spared no expense in hiring thousands of formation masters to set up exquisite formations throughout the Far West.
These formations not only enhanced the defense capabilities but also made Jixi Land a solid fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The great battle formations that the Fire Demon Clan once prided itself on now paled in comparison to Li Chengfeng.
Based on the Fire Demon Insects, Li Chengfeng innovatively developed a completely new set of great battle formations, whose power and coverage far exceeded the traditional formations of the Fire Demon Clan.
This set of formations not only controlled the area surrounding Fire Demon City but also extended its influence to farther places, making the entire Far West an unbreakable whole.
In that blood-red dawn, the sky over the Far West finally dispelled the days of haze. All the people gathered to watch the once rampant Demon Clan and rebels step onto the cold and solemn execution platform step by step.
The cheers of the crowd, like the thawing streams in spring, converged into a surging ocean. Every sound carried the desire for freedom and peace. The fear and humiliation that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time turned into endless joy and relief at this moment.
Li Chengfeng, the hero of the Human Race, with his white robe fluttering, stepped on auspicious clouds and slowly walked onto the high platform for rewarding meritorious deeds. His eyes pierced through the crowd, firm and profound.
When he stood on the Conferred God Stage, that towering altar that seemed to reach the sky, the entire space fell silent.
Tightly held in his hand was the diagram he had drawn himself, and next to it was the Reincarnation Disc, shimmering with a ghostly light. This object, in the recent battles, was like a beacon in the dark night, leading the way to victory.
"The Reincarnation Disc is both a key and a destination."
Li Chengfeng muttered in his heart, his eyes flashing with a deep understanding of the mysteries of life and death.
It was with this disc that he opened the door to Yin Soldiers Borrowing the Way, allowing those heroic souls to rest in peace.
The Soul-Hunting Fairy could easily open the Yin Soldiers Borrowing the Way space and enter it with the Reincarnation Disc, and he used this as a foundation.
He comprehended a corner of the secret of reincarnation and created a sacred object called the "Conferred God List," with the aim of giving every heroic spirit who died for the country the glory and rebirth they deserved.
A total of six thousand warriors were on the list in this battle. Their souls entered the Conferred God List, and the Eternal Reincarnation Disc sent them into the land of reincarnation!
As Li Chengfeng's low and solemn voice sounded, every name that was read out from his mouth seemed to be talking to the departed heroic souls, arousing the deepest resonance in the hearts of everyone present.
Tears, at this moment, were no longer a symbol of weakness, but a tribute to past sacrifices and an expectation for the future.
People were surprised to find that those lives that had once disappeared could be eternally remembered and given new life in an unprecedented way. They could enter reincarnation and then retain their previous spiritual roots and some memories to return to cultivation.
The reward ceremony that followed pushed this joy to a climax.
Li Chengfeng generously distributed spiritual stones, sect registration, and even future protection according to the merits of the battle. Each item was the most solid support for the families of the martyrs.
When the massive resources poured towards the crowd like a tide, it was not only material wealth but also the cohesion of people's hearts. An unprecedented force gathered in the sky above Jixi City, as if even the heavens and the earth were moved.
