Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 929 - 575: Scheming in the Deceit Realm (2)

A statement from the Glory Angels once declared that cooperation was all that was needed; they simply had to activate a specific feather, and a partner would undoubtedly emerge seeking accord.

The issue was that these very Glory Angels had been deplorably confined within the Sea God World.

Consequently, no one could establish contact with them at this present moment.

Thus, after a miserable week of waiting in vain for any sign of a collaborator, Protector Tian, realizing he had been deceived, decided to incinerate the angel feather.

"Hmph, Light God, it's either you or us – we cannot coexist under the same sky! If you scorn cooperation, so be it, but to treat us with such mockery? This is not your Divine Realm, and remember, we have powerful allies too!"

Protector Tian voiced his extreme vexation.

Meanwhile, the Glory Angel remained immured in the Dark Sea, utterly incapable of breaking free from her restraints.

Her fate was sealed, inevitably leading to her final demise.

Upon Ye Bai's return to the headquarters, the Twelve Pillars of the Country also reconvened at the Qi Fortune Hall.

"Zi Rat, you're truly fortunate to have escaped trouble this time, all thanks to Rooster,"

"Had Rooster's Golden Sunshine Chicken not shattered Space to pull you out, you might have been lost in an Other Dimension, with no telling when, or if, you’d ever get out."

Yin Tiger jested, his words designed to needle.

Zi Rat's face was a mask of exasperation; Yin Tiger certainly knew how to exploit a wound, hitting right on Zi Rat's most sensitive point.

"Enough, stop twisting the knife in Zi Rat's gut."

"Let's proceed with reporting our current status."

"Based on the progress made so far, we still have three medium-sized worlds that remain unpacified."

"These are the Forest Plane, the Deceit Realm, and the Magic Realm."

"Negotiations are underway with the inhabitants of the Magic Realm. Their world has depleted its resources, and their attention has now turned to Blue Star."

"The Forest Plane teems with untamed beasts, including Exotic Beasts at the Saint Tier. There's a significant risk of a Beast Tide being triggered."

"Regarding the Deceit Realm's situation, Greed Wolf possesses the most intimate knowledge, so let Greed Wolf enlighten us."

Ugly Ox provided the overview to the assembly.

"In the Deceit Realm, the strange entities hold the dominant position."

"Humans are being managed like chattel by these entities, all ensnared by the fabricated narratives spun by the weird ones."

"Currently, there are six Deceit Gods within the Deceit Realm. These Deceit Gods are formidable beings, existing between the Saint Tier and Demigod Level, and they possess a Divine Format within their beings."

"Below the Deceit Gods, there are levels such as Deceit Emperors and Deceit Kings, comparable to Tier Nine and Tier Eight powerhouses."

"Therefore, launching a direct assault on the Deceit Realm would present an insurmountable challenge. However, we can provide support to the human factions within the Deceit Realm."

"Empower them to hunt down these strange entities."

Ye Bai outlined his strategic thinking.

"Hunt these strange entities?"

"If we can minimize casualties among the people of the Flame Country, that would be for the best."

"Greed Wolf, present your proposed course of action."

Having ventured into the Deceit Realm himself, Ye Bai had gained a thorough understanding of its internal dynamics.

"Here is my proposal: the Deceit Realm is segmented into an external world and an internal world."

"The surface world is the domain of Human existence. However, due to the pervasive influence of Yin Qi, agriculture is impossible, rendering the crops inedible. Even if humans become aware they are being farmed and attempt to flee to the wilderness, they are forced to return to their confined settlements due to a lack of sustenance."

"My suggestion is that we dispatch personnel regularly to distribute essential supplies to the inhabitants of the Deceit Realm."

"We will instigate widespread chaos throughout the Deceit Realm, and then we shall claim it all for ourselves."

A hush fell over the group as they contemplated Ye Bai's strategy, each lost in thought for a moment.

"Your concept is quite practical, but who will be entrusted with the task of delivering these supplies into the Deceit Realm?"

"We cannot afford to assign someone solely for a permanent post in the Deceit Realm."

"Greed Wolf, since this plan originated with you, you shall assume responsibility for its execution."

"The rest of us will focus our attention on the Forest Plane and the Magic Plane, as well as monitoring the counter-offensives launched by the Heaven and Earth Association."

Zi Rat offered this allocation of duties.

"Agreed. Provided the supply chain is adequately maintained, I will handle the Deceit Realm."

"I am not occupied with other missions at the moment anyway."

Ye Bai readily assented to the arrangement.

Subsequently, he collected the provisions meticulously prepared by the Flame Country – a supply sufficient to sustain a hundred thousand individuals for an entire year – and re-entered the Deceit Realm.

Utilizing the keen senses of the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly to guide its Clones, they located an Underground City.

"Who goes there!"

The sentries emerged rapidly from the confines of the Underground City.

Among them were recognized figures: the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm and Ivy.

"It's you!"

"He's one of us, one of us; he is the Deceit Master associated with the Silkworm God and the Bear God."

Astonishing! In mere days, the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm had ascended to the status of Silkworm God.

Through the discerning Eye of Truth, Ye Bai could clearly observe countless rings of the Power of Faith enveloping the magnificent creature.

"Hoo, Bai, it's been over a year. You've finally returned," the Demon Bear priest declared, his words striking Ye Bai with surprise.

It dawned on Ye Bai then that the passage of time within the Deceit Realm was not synchronized with the Blue Star.

This revelation finally illuminated why ancient sayings spoke of a day in heaven equaling a year on earth.

"Alright, inform me of your current recruitment numbers."

"And detail any pressing difficulties you are presently encountering."

Ye Bai’s gaze fixed upon the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm. Its power had already surged to Tier Six, and it appeared on the verge of unlocking a new, awe-inspiring form.

"We are currently facing a severe food shortage," the priest confessed.

"The Underground City has successfully recruited a total of one thousand Humans, and among them, more than a hundred are Deceit Masters."

"However, our activities have not gone unnoticed by formidable, strange entities. They have dispatched numerous subordinates to relentlessly pursue our traces."

"We were compelled to relocate repeatedly before finally establishing our current settlement."

Over a thousand individuals! That was indeed a substantial number.

"Fortunately, I have brought sufficient provisions to sustain ten thousand people for an entire year."

"Rest assured, you need not fret about sustenance. We from the Flame Country shall handle all your food-related needs."

"Are there any other issues that require addressing at this moment?" Ye Bai inquired further.

"Yes. We have been persistently hunted by Shadow Dancers," the priest replied gravely.

"They are intent on capturing Shadow Weirds, seeking to extract secrets pertaining to the royal family from them."

"These Shadow Dancers possess exceptional skills in concealing themselves within shadows. Typically, the most effective counter against these Shadow Element creatures involves employing Light Attribute Magic. Regrettably, I am unable to wield such magic in this environment."

"Consequently, we have sustained considerable casualties."

At that precise moment, a burst of flame erupted from Ye Bai's Shadow.

A mass of darkness, engulfed in ferocious fire, writhed on the ground, emitting pained wails.

"Hoo, so this is a Shadow Dancer?" Ye Bai mused aloud.

"Of all the places you could possibly choose to infiltrate, why would you enter my Shadow?"

"Be warned, I harbor something immense concealed within my Shadow. Should you dare to trespass, you might very well be reduced to nothing more than mere remnants."

"Initially, my intention was to achieve the Deceit Emperor stage before making my return to this place."

Ye Bai had intended to say Tier Nine, but he suddenly recalled the disparate combat power systems of the two worlds, opting instead for a term they would readily comprehend.

"It appears we shall have to ascend to the next level right here within the Deceit Realm."

Ye Bai proceeded to examine the prerequisites for the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly to advance to Tier Nine.

It was stipulated that the creature needed to cultivate twelve Emperor forms before it could achieve the breakthrough to Tier Nine.

Currently, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly had already manifested ten Emperor forms, falling short by two.

However, considering that all the Clones spawned by the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly within the Deceit Realm took the form of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, Ye Bai resolved to cultivate distinct forms for the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm itself.

The original Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm that had emerged in the Deceit Realm possessed a dull gray body and piercing red eyes.

After being imbued with the Power of Faith, it now emanated a radiant golden light. Its plump physique gave it an almost Buddha-like appearance, lacking only a halo of merit. Its current path seemed to involve the enlightenment and conversion of strange entities.

In close proximity to the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, numerous beast-like creatures materialized. Upon perceiving the Silkworm, their expressions shifted to one of adoration and reverence.

"Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, please split off another Clone."

"I am eager to witness the form of the next Clone."

With all its might, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly exerted itself and finally produced a new Clone.

This particular Clone was entirely pitch-black, its eyes a vivid scarlet. It exuded an aura that suggested it was not to be trifled with.

Just then, a peculiar entity resembling a bat descended from the sky outside.

It executed several circles in the air, confirming their location. As it prepared to depart, countless invisible filaments materialized around it.

"Since you have already arrived, why would you wish to leave?" Ye Bai inquired, his eyes narrowing into a playful smile.

"Why not become another soul residing within the maw of the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm?"

Ye Bai observed the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, which was now visibly drooling clear, crystalline saliva – a clear indication of its profound interest in this particular strange creature!
