The corpse of the giant beast shattered. The bodies of many rit Giants faded like insubstantial shadows under the sunlight. Luckily, death was brief, and the deceased rit Giants were slowly reviving.
Yet for everyone, this marked an unprecedented victory.
The last giant beast had been exterminated by them, and the price they paid was rely so ti and the destruction of assets.
This feat allowed the rit Giants to be completely free from the shadow of the giant beasts, signifying another leap forward, ushering in the true Giant Era.
As for the five humans who had successfully achieved Ascension, no one paid them any mind, for they were not rit Giants, but humans.
With the change of eras, the Cultivator system also beca a thing of the past. rit Giants no longer needed cultivation; their bloodline inherently equipped them with the abilities conferred by the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill. Simply by breathing, they could absorb rit to enhance their growth, and the core ford from the Divine Light Series Magic Treasure infused them with imnse power.
It could be said that they had embarked on a path diverging from that of the Immortals.
However, the rit Giants had not yet realized the transformation of their civilization; instead, they were imrsed in the joy of the era's transition.
"Wang, you've achieved your goal," Hu Da said with relief, observing the scene.
Wang Linchi felt a bit choked up; this large mouthful of civilization, swallowed so suddenly, was proving difficult to digest.
"Actually, it's not truly achieved. My original goal was to guide everyone in the Qiandao Realm to ascend to the Green Nether Fairyland," Wang Linchi explained.
"Huh? That was my father's Ascension Plan from years ago." Hu Da recalled this. His sharp-featured face, characteristic of a rit Giant, revealed no emotion, but his tone carried a hint of awkwardness. "That's right. I was only thinking of causing havoc back then. Now that I reflect on it, Wang, you seed to be one of the supporters of the Ascension Plan my father was executing."
"Yes, and I feel that the Ascension Plan is needed now more than ever," Wang Linchi stated suddenly.
Hu Da was sowhat puzzled. Why would everyone need to ascend now? There seems to be no reason at all.
"Haven't you noticed?" Wang Linchi pointed out the population problem. "With so many years of developnt, the number of giants is ever-increasing. In at most a hundred years, the entire Qiandao Realm will no longer be able to accommodate more giants. Have you ever thought about what will happen then?"
It was now a population explosion.
The growth of rit Giants required no resources, only sufficient light and rit. Upon birth, their inherent legacy allowed them to mature rapidly. Moreover, people seed to lack any concept of family planning; they simply continued to have children whenever couples felt mutual affection.
With no mortality and a persistently high birth rate, even the vast Qiandao Realm could not withstand such strain indefinitely. Furthermore, the rit Giants were enormous, each occupying a significant amount of space.
Within a decade at most, a shortage of living space would erge.
These words made Hu Da fall silent. He had indeed not considered this matter. For him, it was a blind spot. Who would have thought the crisis they faced would be their own kin becoming too nurous, causing the entire Qiandao Realm to burst at the seams?
No, it could be even worse. If there wasn't enough living space, large-scale battles would erupt among them even before the Qiandao Realm burst. Due to the rit Giants' immortal nature, these wars would never end, and hatred would spread and deepen.
"I understand. Restarting the Ascension Plan is of utmost urgency," Hu Da stated solemnly.
"And we must act quickly, or the consequences will be unthinkable," Wang Linchi replied.
Yet, Hu Da was troubled again. The Ascension Plan was a century old and no longer applicable. They had completely transford into rit Giants, rendering the original thods unusable.
"Wang, I don't know much about the Ascension Plan from back then. But I do wonder, can we still ascend to the upper realm now?" Hu Da asked.
After a long silence, Wang Linchi finally replied, "I'm afraid we'll have to devise a new plan. None of us can reach the Green Nether Fairyland through the Ascension Channel."
"So... what should we do?" Hu Da was sowhat at a loss.
He genuinely could not find a solution to this problem.
"Actually, there is another way," Wang Linchi began, "but it requires everyone's agreent."
"What way is that?" Hu Da looked surprised. To think a thod would require unanimous agreent. Could it be very dangerous?
"It's simple: let the Qiandao Realm collide with the Green Nether Fairyland. We'll then be able to enter the Green Nether Fairyland in its entirety. However, the Qiandao Realm is likely to shatter as a result."
"And this action," Wang Linchi added, presenting a plan that made Hu Da's head buzz, "will likely cause the Immortals in the Green Nether Fairyland to beco wary of us."
"That's insane! We're a lower realm; how could we possibly crash into the Immortal realm?" Hu Da's voice was filled with incredulity.
"It's possible," Wang Linchi said, his expression suggesting he had no other choice. "Lu Xing and the others will act as our inside contacts. All we need to do is figure out how to make the Qiandao Realm crash into it. We don't have to worry about the rest."
"No wonder, Wang, you said everyone needs to agree. That is indeed the case," Hu Da said, not at all surprised by Wang Linchi's foresight and planning.
"I need so ti to think, Wang. You should understand this involves our entire clan and requires the sacrifice of the Qiandao Realm. This move could render everything we've done aningless."
Hu Da's expression was complex. They had struggled so hard to protect the Qiandao Realm. He hadn't expected the ultimate outco would require the Qiandao Realm to sacrifice itself to grant them a new chance at survival.
This was just Hu Da being overly sentintal. To the Qiandao Realm, it made no difference whether it was inhabited by giant beasts or humans. The world itself had few choices. If it could choose, the Qiandao Realm would have been the first to annihilate the Human Clan and the Virtue Giant Tribe, leaving none behind. Every single one of them was a parasite living off the Qiandao Realm, the root cause of its decline. The realm itself had been quite healthy. Although enslaved, it wasn't as if it couldn't survive. It was precisely because of their arrival that the Qiandao Realm was now on the brink of collapse.
"No problem. This falls squarely within your responsibilities as the League Master of the Tao Tian League. If you were to agree imdiately, I would actually consider you unqualified," Wang Linchi said, his tone conveying relief, as if Hu Da had finally matured.
Hu Da, however, smiled a bit sheepishly. "If we actually decide to implent this Ascension Plan, Wang, you won't be able to retire. We'll still need you to oversee the entire situation."
He was only deciding whether or not to proceed with the plan. If they did decide to execute it, the overall strategy would still require Wang Linchi. After all, the na Lingyuan Hermit held great renown within the Virtue Giant Tribe.
Besides, his own responsibilities would be sowhat limited, such as helping Wang Linchi manage the team and ensuring an adequate supply of resources.
"You sly rascal," Wang Linchi teased. "You haven't even made up your mind, and you're already trying to get to do the heavy lifting."
"Naturally. If my father had possessed my foresight back then, he wouldn't have perished," Hu Da retorted, also complaining. He felt his father truly hadn't been competent enough; Wang Linchi had given him a good plan, yet he still managed to fail—it was preposterous.
One could only say his luck was truly good. He t Wang Linchi and, crucially, trusted him. Otherwise, he would have perished long ago.
"Show so respect for your father, even though not even his ashes remain..." Wang Linchi observed that Hu Da seed to hold his father in very low regard.
Wang Linchi offered no guidance on this matter; there was no need to dwell excessively on soone deceased. He was generally magnanimous towards the dead.
"Hey, Wang, you're not showing much respect either," Hu Da teased back, then his tone beca serious. "Wang, you go on with your business. I still need to deal with the aftermath. I'll give you an answer within three days at most."
"Alright, go on," Wang Linchi said, not stopping him.
After Hu Da left, Wang Linchi began to contemplate his next al.
The appetizer of civilization was finished. Now it was ti for the main course: the Qiandao Realm itself.
He found the rit Giants quite useful and planned to develop them into his Family, then lead an assault on the Green Nether Fairyland.
As for the Qiandao Realm, it would shatter into pieces after colliding with the Green Nether Fairyland. Consuming it then would save him so chewing—it was all about convenience.
Moreover, this way, the Qiandao Realm would be killed instantly by the collision and wouldn't resist when he consud it. It felt like eating the corpse of a world, but he didn't mind. If he were to eat a living world, what if it punched him in the mouth while he was trying to eat it?
