The Invincible Dragon Emperor Chapter 459

Lu Li spent half of the next couple of days dealing with empire affairs and the other half touring around with Jiang Qiling.

Ye Cha went back to the Deserted World, bringing with him orders from Lu Li. Apart from Jiang Qiling, he didn't tell anyone, not even Lu Feixue and Ming Yu, about the Deserted World. The less they knew, the better.

Half a month later, Ye Cha came with a piece of good news. The Deserted World was unified. Every one of the Stellar Race was killed and five other races were exterminated as well. For the rest of the races, their powerful ones were killed and in the Deserted World, words from G.o.d of Meng were the only ones that mattered.

They acc.u.mulated many Mystical Materials, piling up to several mountains at the entrance of the Deserted World. G.o.d of Meng was with integrity. He didn't take any Mystical Materials for himself. He handed them all in for Lu Li to deal with.

Of course, G.o.d of Meng was clever. He already had a large amount of Mystical Materials within his territory, enough for the t.i.tan Race to cultivate. What he demanded was not average ones, but the ones for reaching and cultivation of the Human Sovereign Realm.

Lu Li asked Lu Feixue and Madam Yan to entertain Jiang Qiling for a couple of days while he went to Deserted World with Ye Cha. He brought more than 10 Interspatial Rings with him.

Instead of wandering off, Jiang Qiling spent her days with Lu Feixue, playing go and chatting. She was very well-behaved when she was with Lu Feixue, hiding all her wildness and acting like a sweet, n.o.ble lady.

…

When Lu Li arrived at the Deserted World, he was shocked to see the several piles of Mystical Materials in front of him.

A piece of land was cleared out in front of the entrance, where there were piles of mine stones, Mystical Materials, crystals and rare materials taken from Xuan Beasts and other resources…

G.o.d of Meng was here guarding. As a matter of fact, even if he was not here, n.o.body else dared to lay a hand on those Mystical Materials. He had been waiting here for Lu Li to show his loyalty.

"Greetings, Saint Lord!"

G.o.d of Meng was not the only one here. Chee-ker and Clan Leaders of many other major races were here and they all knelt to Lu Li.

Lu Li nodded and said, "Raise. Thank you, G.o.d of Meng, for the hard work."

G.o.d of Meng stood up. He was as tall as a hill so Lu Li had to raise his head to look at G.o.d of Meng who said seriously, "Don't mention it. After you killed Hua of Stellar, there wasn't much for us to do, actually. The Deserted World is unified. What is your plan, Saint Lord? Do you want to put all the resources together and a.s.sign somebody to watch?"

"No!"

Lu Li waved no and said, "I will not interfere with the businesses at the Deserted World. G.o.d of Meng, you are the master here, not me. You make the calls. I will not take the Mystical Materials for myself, either. Instead, I will try to sell them secretly at the Central Plains and bring back the ones that you need. G.o.d of Meng, make me a list later of the Mystical Material you need. I can buy them for you."

"Ah?"

G.o.d of Meng didn't show any emotional changes but the other Clan Leaders' eyes flickered. If they had enough Mystical Materials, some of them could try to reach the Human Sovereign Realm. Granted, they might fail. But there was hope after all.

"No!"

G.o.d of Meng shook his head and said, "You are the Saint Lord of the t.i.tan Race, thereby you are the Saint Lord of every major race here. The master of the Deserted World is you, not me. Please make the decisions, Saint Lord. I am no management material. It's up to you, Saint Lord."

t.i.tan Race and the Mammoth Race were similar in that they had developed brawns but not brains. But not G.o.d of Meng. He was clever enough to know that he must show his att.i.tude. Otherwise, Lu Li might harbor some ill feelings.

"G.o.d of Meng, don't worry."

Lu Li could tell what G.o.d of Meng was thinking. Lu Li smiled lightly and said, "Ye Cha knows this about me. I rarely manage the Northern Deserted. I have to cultivate and have little time for other things. You can discuss with Ye Cha about how to deal with this. I will stay out of it."

"Alright…"

Seeing that Lu Li was insisting, G.o.d of Meng didn't say anything about this anymore. After some thoughts, he mentioned another matter gravely, "Saint Lord, with all due respect, how will you sell those Mystical Materials? They are rare even at the Central Plains. You will get attention from big families if you sell a large amount at once."

Lu Li understood the worries. He nodded and said, "I understand. Trust me. I will handle them properly. Of course, for the sake of safety, you should send someone to the small world outside to stay on guard and destroy the tunnel once enemies come."

G.o.d of Meng and others had no further questions. They sent someone to the small world of Green Dwarfs. In case of infiltration of big families, the tunnel could be destroyed at once, guaranteeing the safety of the Deserted World.

"Ye Cha!"

Lu Li thought about it and said, "Go and get some materials for building Teleportation Formations later and build one here lest people don't have enough to time to react once something goes south. Well…build one at the Hag Race as well. All those ones that come to build the Teleportation Formation cannot be allowed back out and all the ones that enter the Deserted World must stay here as well."

The information must be kept confidential. The three patriarchs of the Bai Family that followed Bai Xiashuang in were told to stay here by Lu Li. He trusted the Bai Family, of course. It was just this matter was too serious. Once the information was leaked, the doom of the Northern Desert would come.

Lu Li and G.o.d of Meng discussed other matters and then G.o.d of Meng made a list after he talked to other Clan Leaders. On the list were the Mystical Materials that they didn't have at the Deserted World but were rare must-haves.

Lu Li put away the list and asked Ye Cha to put the piles of Mystical Materials into his Interspatial Ring. G.o.d of Meng told Lu Li that he was only looking at the first batch and there were more coming, garnering a total value as high as a dozens times of the ones they are seeing...

The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth in the Deserted World was profound. Every year, many Mystical Material could grow out. A lot of them were of the same kind and the supply exceeded demand. The Deserted World was vast but the population was not. For example, the Stellar Race was once one of the major races but they only had hundreds of thousands of people. In the outside world, any average county would have such a population…

Back in the days, the 10,000 races could not beat humans. One of the reasons was the strong reproductive abilities of humans. Besides, humans were keen learners. They could borrow the best practices from the 10,000 races, try to comprehend the Profound Meaning in heaven and earth, grow strong and become the master of the world.

"Okay."

Lu Li left G.o.d of Meng to his matters after all was settled. When the Teleportation Formations were built, it would be easier for them to meet. Teleportation would be fast.

G.o.d of Meng left with the other Clan Leaders. Deserted World was unified but there were surviving ones from some major races who would conduct a.s.sa.s.sination to seek revenge. Those must be found and killed before the Deserted World could have complete peace.

Information of mines and other resources should be recorded and territories should be re-arranged. G.o.d of Meng didn't accompany Lu Li to the Snow Mountain of Dragons. Ye Cha went to have someone build Teleportation Formations. Lu Li went to the Snow Mountain of Dragons with Chee-ker and Meng Huo.

There were two more patriarchs from the t.i.tan Race at the Snow Mountain of Dragons. Meng Zhi was there as well. Even if surviving supporters of the opponent's sides tried, they wouldn't be able to get close.

Lu Li flew for a couple of days before he arrived. Without any hesitation, he went directly to the Snow Mountain of Dragons. He nodded to greet Meng Zhi and others who were staying on guard here and entered the fortress at the top of the mountain alone.

Inside the hall, Bai Xiashuang was cultivating quietly. She must have been in the state for several days. This rash girl that once liked stirring up troubles had grown after Bai Qiuxue met with this mishap.

Lu Li went into the ice room. The sight of Bai Qiuxue in the ice made his heart ache.

He knelt at the bedside. He tried to stroke her cheeks but the only thing he felt was coldness. The one he loved was right in front of him and yet, he could not even touch her cheek.

He felt they were in two different worlds, just because of this thick layer of ice…
