Chapter 1826: Chapter 1826

"What! You say the Kobolds have given birth to a second eighth-rank powerhouse, but how is that possible? Such extraordinary beings, having one would be enough, how could there be a second one."

"Yeah, Kobolds are inherently weak, with poor intellect, and terrible talent; we all know this. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been used as a slave race all along. Having one such special individual is already unbelievable, having another would just be too terrifying."

This was a gathering of seventh rank individuals from other tribes. This is the North, where the situation is quite severe. The Kobolds have been continuously expanding, if this continues, the North will be filled with Kobolds everywhere.

"Heh, if it was just two people, I wouldn’t say much. I’ve heard that even eighth-rank main gods are paying attention to the Kobolds; their performance is just too peculiar. It’s said that some speculate above, that the Kobolds are using faith to enhance themselves. Imagine, if the Kobolds became smarter, and gained more experts, that’s surely what’s happening."

"But that’s not right, if they are using something like faith, they should be surrounded by the power of faith, and they themselves would act crazy, wouldn’t they?"

The Beastmen wouldn’t care what method is used, as long as they have strength.

So many among the Beastmen, those with slightly less talent, will choose to use faith to enhance themselves, becoming a land guardian deity, or a totem god, or some other similar faith-based divine spirit. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝※𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖※𝕟𝕖𝕥

But such a method is still looked down upon by the majority of Beastmen, because using faith to enhance oneself leads to big personal problems, even eventual loss of self. This is not only true for Beastmen, but in other worlds as well.

Even if they can maintain themselves, they also face many restrictions, not just from the world, but from their own kin. If their followers have a problem, they themselves would be doomed, even falling in rank.

Only by slowly integrating themselves into the world laws, becoming like a puppet of the world guardian, can they ensure their perpetual existence. But this is under the premise that the world continues to exist.

This practice exists among Beastmen too, so they understand the situation well.

"But that’s not right, I’ve seen those Kobold powerhouses, they don’t at all resemble faith-based divine spirits."

"Maybe they used some secret method, reducing the harm to its lowest. But they do indeed have issues, thinking carefully, these Kobold powerhouses seem not to like talking much. And they are too selfless, this might be an influence of faith, even if the influence is small, it’s still there."

Upon hearing this, everyone had an epiphany. Yeah, thinking about it carefully, there indeed are some issues.

But no matter what they think, Du You’s development won’t stop. With the continuous expansion of the Kobolds, finally, Du You began to increase the number of eighth-rank guardians.

While secretly killing some eighth-rank Magical Beasts, while secretly creating. After so many years and immeasurable resources, Du You finally produced what he needed.

"Thirty years, thirty years of planning have finally almost completed. Next, this world is basically ours."

Du You looked down at the world beneath with a smile, the world was so beautiful.

Lin Yucha said, "Master, we should still be careful, the closer we are to the end the more cautious we need to be. Many things fail at the last step." Lin Yucha prudently reminded as always.

Du You nodded slightly, "You are right, but with our current strength, even if we fail it’s just a waste of some time, nothing too dangerous, so there’s no need to be as cautious as before."

"I still think it’s better to be careful." Lin Yucha would not excessively yield on matters of principle. Of course, Du You knew Lin Yucha was looking out for him, not simply challenging him.

"Master, is it almost complete? Wonderful, it’s been so many years without fighting the enemies, I am almost rusting." Lin Yushi looked at the world below with excitement, her eyes filled with anticipation.

After reaching the ninth rank, suddenly there were no opponents, even strategic planning takes a long time.

Previously, they were constantly fighting, with very little rest. Being led by Du You, the battles were endless. But after reaching the ninth rank, it abruptly stopped, which was really hard to get used to.

If it weren’t for frequent sparring over the years, who knows how frustrating it would have been. In a blink of an eye, thirty years passed, the time went by so quickly.

Of course, those thirty years refer to the time in the Beastman world, the time in their own world was longer, Earth’s side was shorter, but not by much, also over a decade had passed.

In these years, there have been considerable changes in the family. After failing once, Ke Jisi succeeded on the second attempt at breaking through to the seventh rank, but that’s pretty much her limit. And Shaliya failed twice, succeeding on the third attempt. There’s no helping it, for Shaliya’s foundation was poor from the beginning and there’s no way to go further now.

But Du You doesn’t mind, as long as success is achieved. Additionally, Du Yun has already broken through to the seventh rank, unfortunately, Li Minglu’s talent isn’t enough, no matter what he can’t break through to the seventh rank, only lingering at the peak of the sixth rank, no amount of resources helps.

Some family members have improved rapidly, now Elsa has long broken through to the peak of the seventh rank and has been preparing to advance to the eighth rank.

Meanwhile, Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue have recently reached the peak of the seventh rank, needless to say, having a ninth rank support behind them is different. As for resource gathering, sometimes the two sisters would help as well.

However, the two seem to be lacking in momentum, uncertain if they can smoothly enter the eighth rank. And it’s unknown how far they can go after entering the eighth rank. This comes down to potential talent, which Du You now sees clearly.

The firmness of the foundation directly affects the late-stage advancement, which was determined from the start.

Du You is particularly grateful, that he had the luck back then to unprecedentedly reach 10 stars.

After thirty years of preparation in the Beastman world, the Kobolds finally had a complete outbreak. The advancement experience value of his domain is just one line short of breaking through. Perhaps tomorrow, maybe next month, it will meet his requirements.
