I'm sorry for the delay in this chapter. I had to get the plot back on track, which I had lost track of right after the World Upgrade. I'm sorry for the delay, and I will try my best not to make similar mistakes.
Thank you,
Author.

Xu Qianghua sat down on the sofa in the eting room with Hu Liwei and Tian ifeng. The two won had taken seats across from him, and the atmosphere was relaxed but serious.
The earlier exchange of greetings had already passed, and now they were moving to the main topic—what was happening with the beast tide and the problems that ca with the world upgrade.
"It's only been a few days," Xu Qianghua said as he leaned back slightly, "but the number of beast attacks has already skyrocketed.
And from the looks of things, this isn't just so random event. This is the beginning of sothing long-term."
Hu Liwei nodded. "I was thinking the sa thing. The changes in the land, the evolution of the beasts, and even the new territories… it all seems too organized. It's like the world is pushing all living beings to fight for survival."
Tian ifeng crossed her legs and glanced at the jade slip she had just finished reading. "What worries is not just the beasts becoming stronger. It's how fast they're doing it.
There were already a few near our borders that showed signs of entering the Nascent Soul stage, and now so are even touching the Incarnation realm."
"Yeah," Xu Qianghua said as he rubbed his temple. "The world upgrade didn't just make the environnt better for humans. It made everything stronger.
The Spiritual Qi is denser, the laws are clearer, and the life force of the planet is more active. That affects all living beings, not just cultivators."
Hu Liwei gave a small sigh. "Which ans this is just the beginning. There's going to be more beast tides in the future.
So will be small, but others… they might wipe out whole regions if we're not ready."
"That's exactly what I'm worried about," Xu Qianghua replied. "We've spent years building up our territory, setting up formations, preparing resources, and creating a stable cultivation environnt.
But now, all of that is under threat. The new beasts aren't just stronger—they're smarter, too."
Tian ifeng looked serious as she added, "I noticed that, too. So of them are already starting to move in small groups, using basic strategies to avoid traps and attack weak points in defense lines.
If they keep evolving at this pace, we'll be fighting an actual beast Kingdom or an Empire soon."
Xu Qianghua let out a low laugh, not out of humor but disbelief. "A beast Kingdom or an Empire, huh? That would be a nightmare."
Hu Liwei shrugged. "It might not be as far-fetched as it sounds. The stronger a beast gets, the more intelligent it becos.
If enough of them gather in one place, they could easily start mimicking human organization. It's happened in history before during past world evolutions."
And she wasn't wrong as this had happened in his previous life as five different beast kingdoms had appeared, with each one having a different powerful beast taking control of the kingdom and creating forbidden zones which reduced a lot of space for the human race.
And now, there are already signs, but because the beasts were too overconfident, they attacked the borders of the Xuzhong Empire, which can be said to be the most unfortunate luck the beasts could hope for.
But due to the sudden appearance of the Royal Army, the progress of the beast's tides has subsided, which has slowed down the growth of the beasts, which is a good thing.
As they are one of the major enemies of the human race, and in the future, when other Zerg vanguard ships attack the world, the beast's kingdoms also attack them.
This is because the leader of the kingdoms sohow received and understood a ssage from one of the Zerg vanguard ships, which said sothing along the lines of:
[Help us kill these creatures, and you will beco the new owners of this world.]
And these stupid beasts who had awakened their consciousness for a long ti had beco dumb children after learning that they could beco the leader of this world.
And so when the Zerg's ship attacked the world again, causing the top cultivators to respond, and that was when the beast kingdoms attacked the human settlents, but to the surprise of the top leader of the beast kingdoms.
The 'surprise attack' was not a surprise, as they had been monitored since the Zerg vanguard ships appeared.
All of this has to do with the Beast Kingdom being quiet instead of defending against the Zerg together with the other races.
This alone is a red flag, and as ti passed, the other two races noticed the small changes in the logistics and soldier movents.
So, the whole situation was under the control of the major world powers, so Xu Qianghua plans to monitor it and ensure that the kingdoms from his last life appear in this life.
Then Xu Qianghua picked up a new jade slip and scanned through so data. "There are reports already coming in from the Empyrean Harmony Sect's scouts.
So of the beasts have been seen using basic formations to protect their territory—not just instinctual groupings but actual, structured defense."
Tian ifeng's eyebrows lifted. "Seriously? Formations?"
Xu Qianghua nodded. "Simple ones, yes. But they worked. The scouting party almost got wiped out until reinforcents showed up.
These beasts aren't just getting stronger—they're adapting."
"That's bad," Hu Liwei said, folding her arms. "Because if they can use formations, then they can eventually defend spirit veins and high-resource zones.
That ans long-term wars just to claim a single resource area."
Xu Qianghua agreed. "Exactly. We'll have to start training teams specifically for resource conquest.
That includes beast tars, formation breakers, and logistics support. This isn't going to be a one-ti cleanup operation.
But it will turn into a long-term project that needs constant improvents."
They went quiet for a mont, each person thinking about the implications.
"Or we can let them defend those resources, and the next ti the Zerg attacks, they'll have nowhere to go but into the beast's den," Tian ifeng pointed out.
"You an let them take the brunt of the damage while we sit back and wait for them to weaken the invaders?" Hu Liwei asked.
