Chapter 344: Conclusion of Lingxi World
“Congratulations, the entire Lingxi World has become your territory.” Jiang Li offered belated blessings.
“And you, you’ve also fulfilled your dream of saving the world—though more as an accessory.”
Xia Chao’s face immediately fell. “Brother Jiang, did you have to add that last part? I worked hard to heal Little Green Snake too. How am I just an accessory?”
Little Green Snake and the Bone-Winged White Tiger had both taken human form, appearing strikingly beautiful. Xia Chao and Qiu Shi never imagined the contract beasts they’d lived with for a year could transform into such stunning figures.
“Wake up. What ‘living together for a year’? You two were in special training for the first three months. During that time, you saw no one but me.” Jiang Li reminded Xia Chao not to romanticize their experience.
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi shuddered. Those three months of training were truly unforgettable. Though they’d lived in the beast forest for nine months, all their nightmares were about Jiang Li’s brutal training sessions.
But compared to the results, the training had been worth it.
Their current location was the center of the battlefield, now empty after the beast tide’s retreat.
“Your Majesty, please give us your next orders.” The four Unity Stage demon beasts, having regained their senses, also transformed into human forms and knelt before Little Green Snake.
“Don’t address me like that.” Little Green Snake maintained her composure while refusing outwardly, though internally she was stomping her feet in frustration at being called “Azure Dragon King.”
The leaders of the six nations, realizing this marked a major turning point for Lingxi World, rushed to the scene upon receiving reports.
The burly bodyguards behind the leaders felt uneasy. Despite their imposing appearances, they were likely the weakest fighters present—except for the leaders themselves.
The leaders bowed respectfully to Little Green Snake.
From their subordinates’ reports, they knew this young woman was transformed from a contract beast called “dragon.” With reports coming in about five-star contract beasts taking human form everywhere, they weren’t too surprised by Little Green Snake’s appearance.
Little Green Snake, the white-haired girl, Xia Chao, Qiu Shi, and the four transformed six-star demon beasts—all matched the descriptions. But they didn’t recognize the man who seemed to be in charge.
“Now that everyone’s here, we can discuss matters.” Jiang Li manipulated space, transporting everyone to a nearby building.
The four Unity Stage transformed demon beasts were terrified by Jiang Li’s display, wondering about the origins of their leader’s superior.
“Some may not know me, so let me introduce myself.”
“My name is Jiang Li, from the Nine Provinces World. You can think of me as an alien, though the distance is much greater than you imagine.”
“In the Nine Provinces World, I hold the position of Human Sovereign—essentially its external representative. So in terms of status, we’re equals. No need for formalities.”
“This is Baize Emperor Baixue Ling, a monarch who rules half the demon beasts in Nine Provinces World.”
Seeing little reaction from the crowd, Xia Chao realized they still didn’t grasp Jiang Li’s significance and whispered, “Brother Jiang is at the Mahayana Stage. By our standards, that’s an eight-star powerhouse.”
Everyone immediately showed profound respect.
Jiang Li felt his earlier introduction had been wasted.
He then explained Lingxi World’s history, the issues with master-servant contracts, and the benefits of Little Green Snake becoming this world’s ruler.
His words sounded like fantasy, hard to believe—until they saw Little Green Snake nodding slightly, confirming their truth.
“Only one step remains to dissolve the contracts. You need to administer diluted Baize blood to the demon beasts to awaken their intelligence.”
Jiang Li produced ten barrels of blood.
Baixue Ling’s cultivation was far inferior to the Executor of Karma’s. Where the Executor needed just a few drops to turn all beasts into idiots, she required ten barrels just to enlighten them.
Fortunately, as a Baize, her true form was much larger than her human shape, allowing her to provide this quantity.
“This is Baize blood.” As Jiang Li spoke, Baixue Ling’s eyelids twitched.
But thinking of how this would enlighten countless fellow beasts, she disregarded the blood loss.
“After returning, administer this to all beasts below five-star level.”
Over the following week, billions of beasts consumed Baixue Ling’s blood, gaining intelligence and kneeling toward her location.
This was nothing short of rebirth.
With awakened intelligence, the beasts’ relationship with humans became complex—some favored humans and treated them kindly, others despised humans and developed evil intentions.
Note that the master-servant contracts weren’t yet dissolved. Beasts harboring ill will toward humans posed serious danger.
But under the dragon’s might blanketing the continent, those beasts could only suppress their thoughts, pretending obedience.
Jiang Li wasn’t concerned. With Little Green Snake present, no chaos could erupt.
By the eighth day, all beasts had gained intelligence and knelt to Little Green Snake.
Jiang Li rose, flying high into the sky. Slowly raising his arm, he gradually clenched his fist. Countless extremely fine threads appeared in his grasp, stretching into unseen distances.
Both contract beasts and humans instinctively looked up at Jiang Li, feeling something vitally important slipping uncontrollably into his grip.
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi didn’t understand Jiang Li’s actions. Neither did Little Green Snake or the Bone-Winged White Tiger. Only Baixue Ling recognized his meaning.
“These are the binding threads of the master-servant contracts.” Jiang Li smiled slightly, then suddenly clenched his fist. Billions of threads snapped, dissipating into the air.
Baixue Ling was astonished. She’d imagined many ways Jiang Li might sever the contracts, never anticipating something so simple.
“I’ve already taught you the Beast Taming Sect’s equal contracts. You’ll be responsible for teaching others. Of course, whether to form new contracts is voluntary—don’t force it.”
“Yes.” Little Green Snake bowed.
Hesitating, she added, “I hope to establish stable connections with Nine Provinces World.”
Seeing her trying to appear indifferent while desperately hoping for approval, Jiang Li chuckled. “You mean connections with the Beast Taming Sect and Baize Dynasty, right? That’s easy—we’ll have Brahma Tower create a permanent spatial pathway.”
Baixue Ling beamed. Though Lingxi World couldn’t be considered Baize Dynasty territory, strengthening the beast faction delighted her.
“Incidentally, when I obtained dragon blood from the Four Seas Dragon Kings earlier, I mentioned you. They said after you undergo the Dragon Ascension Tribulation, you could visit the four seas for exchange and study.”
Little Green Snake immediately agreed—this was tremendous fortune.
Though she had bloodline inheritance, it didn’t encompass everything. The four seas were the Nine Provinces dragon clan’s stronghold, home to over a dozen True Dragons. In understanding draconic heritage, she still had much to learn.
Little Green Snake’s ambitions extended beyond dragonhood—that was merely the beginning. She aimed for the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and beyond.
“You should cultivate diligently too. The Baize Dynasty still lacks a Qiongqi King.” Baixue Ling told the white-haired girl.
The Baize Dynasty had eight great Demon Kings, all at Unity Stage. Previously, the Qiongqi King overreached by attacking Yu Yin, only for her to reach Tribulation Transcendence Stage and kill him instead, leaving the position vacant.
The Bone-Winged White Tiger, tempered by Jiang Li, was now no different from a purebred Qiongqi. Upon reaching Unity Stage, she could rightfully claim the Qiongqi King title.
The white-haired girl waved her fists, vowing not to disappoint Baixue Ling’s expectations.
Xia Chao and Qiu Shi exchanged glances, understanding each other’s thoughts.
With their girlfriends working so hard, they couldn’t slack off either.
