Chapter 189: Changes in the Plane Situation
In the meeting hall of Longcheng, Li Qing was listening to An Erqiu's report.
"It has been confirmed that Huanglong City has been instigated by Savage City. The Lord of Savage City used the Eternal Tree as a witness and promised that as long as Huanglong City rebelled and swore to be loyal forever, he would grant Huanglong City an area of about 10 million square kilometers in the south forever."
"Although Huanglong City has not yet launched a counterattack, our reconnaissance team has discovered that the troops of Savage City are withdrawing and are heading towards the Five Cities Alliance to reinforce them. This proves that the source of the information is reliable."
An Erqiu continued:
"Now, before they take action, we need to decide on the follow-up strategy as soon as possible, whether to continue to increase troops or withdraw them."
"Besides that, if we withdraw our troops, what should we do next?"
Li Qing tapped the armrest with his fingers, looking thoughtful.
This news is indeed sudden, but not unexpected.
After five years of stalemate, Li Qing had already seen the current situation clearly.
As long as he did not exert his full strength, the alliance with the Five Cities Alliance and the Yellow Dragon City would always be on the defensive in the war with the Wild City. They would not be able to defeat them head-on, but they would not be conquered either.
But this situation cannot continue forever.
The Savage City, which has been on the offensive, is favored by all neutral forces, and a large number of chambers of commerce are more willing to cooperate with the Savage City, which occupies the largest territory and has the strongest strength.
This has made the strength of Savage City grow at the fastest rate.
Well, not including Li Qing's Dragon City.
But his strength is not the strongest on the surface. Most of the space dragons and space dragon descendants he has accumulated in the past few years have not appeared in front of everyone. Li Qing transferred them all to the black iron ore base deep in the plane.
It has been seven years since the last large-scale transformation of space dragons and space dragonborn.
In seven years, a total of 168 new space dragons were transformed, 150 of which were transferred over, and only 18 new ones were retained in Longcheng.
The Space Dragonborn can transform a total of 7,665 in seven years, more than 6,000 of which are kept over there, and 1,665 are retained in Dragon City.
It is worth mentioning that the transformed space dragons are promoted from the best of the space dragon descendants, and each of them is either level eight or level nine. Therefore, the newly transformed space dragons are initially level eight or nine, which is much more powerful than the first batch of transformed space dragons.
Dragon City is already at the very deep end of the plane opposite to Savage City. No one would have thought that there is a large stronghold even deeper, where a huge force is accumulated.
Up to now, Li Qing has a total of 251 space dragons under his command, and more than a dozen of them have died in battle over the years.
The total number of space dragons is just over 11,000, of which more than 1,000 are the new generation of natural reproduction.
There have been no major wars in recent years, and Li Qing strongly encouraged them to reproduce naturally, which had some effect.
Although the reproduction rate is far less than that of humans, it is not too bad. Once the base number increases and stabilizes, the reproduction rate will still increase.
Moreover, the lifespan of space dragonborn is much longer than that of humans, and the stronger they are, the longer their lifespan. If they are promoted to the sixth-level extraordinary, they will have a lifespan of about 200 years, 220 years for the seventh level, 250 years for the eighth level, and about 300 years for the ninth level.
If one can be promoted to the tenth level, his life span will instantly increase to 500 years.
This is already very strong. If a normal tenth-level human being does not use special life-extending methods, his normal lifespan is less than two hundred years.
Perhaps their basic reproduction speed cannot compare to that of humans, but in terms of lifespan, half-dragons have a longer reproductive period, which is not much different from that of humans.
Having said that, after keeping a low profile for five years and watching his strength grow rapidly, it feels great. He really wants to keep living like this for another ten or twenty years. By then, he will have accumulated thousands of space dragons and hundreds of thousands of space dragon descendants, and then sweep through with an invincible attitude. That would feel even better.
But there is no way. Ideals are just ideals after all. The actual situation cannot be that good.
Now he had to make a decision, whether to increase support to maintain the balance, or to withdraw troops from the front line of the Five Cities Alliance, wait for the Savage City to defeat the Five Cities Alliance, and then defeat the only opponent, Savage City, in one fell swoop, complete the unification of the Savage plane, and then be promoted to a formal war lord.
If he chooses the former, he will need to fill the gap with a strength equivalent to more than two Huanglong Cities in order to continue to maintain the balance of power.
Doing so would most likely allow their military strength there to catch up with the Five Cities Alliance, thereby attracting the attention of Savage City and focusing the main attack on him.
After all, the extraordinary troops he has are too strong. So many powerful and highly maneuverable space dragons pose too great a threat to them, definitely higher than that of the Five Cities Alliance.
And there is another problem.
If he showed too much strength, there might be problems in the Five Cities Alliance.
After all, Longcheng and the Five Cities Alliance are just an alliance, not of one mind.
If his side is too strong, they will feel that they have no hope of winning, and unpredictable changes may occur.
The Five Cities Alliance is also an alliance, not a monolithic entity. If the alliance has no hope, it will split internally. There is a probability that alliance members will withdraw or even directly surrender to Savage City.
If they choose to withdraw, it means that in no more than a year, they will have to face the Savage City that has defeated all their opponents alone.
Maybe not even a year.
The Five Cities Alliance definitely cannot last a year, and may not even last half a year.
"My head hurts!"
Li Qing rubbed his eyebrows and let out a light breath.
He said to An Erqiu in a deep voice:
"Contact the front line and tell them to prepare to evacuate."
An Erqiu immediately asked:
"My Lord, should we inform the Five Cities Alliance of our evacuation?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Notify!"
"good."
Watching An Erqiu leave, Li Qing sat in his seat and pondered for a long time.
A few minutes later, he suddenly opened the panel and his eyes fell on his personal attributes.
It’s still level ten, no change.
But his strength at this moment is definitely much stronger than when he was promoted to the tenth level a few years ago.
The qualitative improvement when promoted to the tenth level is only the improvement at the beginning of the promotion. After that, the potential from the ancestor ancient dragon will be gradually developed and the strength will continue to improve.
After all, they are a race whose strength increases even when they sleep.
At this time, not only is his bloodline powerful, but his magic power has also reached the level of a tenth-order holy domain wizard. The next level is a legendary magician.
In addition, after the massive power of faith accumulated over the years was transformed into divine power, he used it to condense divinity. Over the years, he has accumulated two new points of divinity, for a total of seven points.
The efficiency is not high, but it is not bad either.
He slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness, and immediately felt the stars in the sky and countless filaments.
Each star represents a true believer, the brighter the star, the more devout it is.
There are now a total of 985,412 points of light in his sea of soul, which means that he now has nearly a million true believers.
More than one-third of the light inside was significantly brighter, representing more devout believers with a more devout faith.
Among the more than 300,000 devout believers, more than one-third are fanatics.
Among them, most of the space dragonborn and space dragons are fanatics, and the rest are devout believers.
In addition, the first group of humans and troops who followed him were mostly fanatics or devout believers.
Devout believers and fanatics actually have the same level of faith, but the devout believers have clearer minds and can still maintain a certain degree of independent thinking ability.
In addition, Li Qing has two special saints, Long Shou and Long Fa, two upper-level dragon descendants, who can provide him with 160 points of divine power and 147 points of divine power every day.
Although An Erqiu, the three Xie brothers, and several other subordinates are also upper-level dragon descendants, they are heroes of destiny. It is much more difficult for them to become saints than the dragon guards and dragon magicians promoted from the natives. In other words, it is almost impossible for them to become saints since they were born in the destiny civilization.
There are close to one million true believers, including a large number of space dragon descendants who can provide ten times more offspring than humans.
More than two hundred space dragons with a power a thousand times greater than that of human faith.
Among them, 11,000 space dragonborns are basically above the extraordinary level, and can provide about 55 million points of faith power every day. According to the calculation that every 1 million points of faith power is converted into 1 point of divine power, it is equivalent to providing him with 55 points of divine power every day.
251 space dragons, fanatics, direct descendants, and racial creators, each of which can provide 200,000 points of faith power and 50 points of divine power per day.
Other than that, the rest are basically ordinary humans.
There are about 90,000 fanatics, each of whom can provide between 100 and 500 points of faith power depending on the degree of their fanaticism. Taking the average value of 250 points, they can provide 22 points of divine power every day.
Two hundred and one thousand devout believers, each of whom can provide between 10 and 100 points of power of faith depending on the degree of their fanaticism. Taking the average of 50 points, they can provide 10 points of divine power every day.
As for the 760,000 or so true believers, each ordinary person can provide him with 2-3 points of faith power every day, and the number of troops is doubled, which means they can provide him with... less than 5 points of divine power every day.
All in all, Li Qing can accumulate 160+147+50+55+22+10+5 points every day, a total of 449 points of divine power.
In a year, more than 160,000 divine powers can be accumulated.
After five years, Li Qing has accumulated a total of 800,000 divine powers.
Most of it was used to condense divinity. Although each attempt to condense only required about one thousand divine powers, the number of failures was too many, and half of the 800,000 divine powers was consumed in this. In the end, only two points of divinity were condensed.
Moreover, it can be predicted that the more time passes, the greater the consumption of condensing divine power will be, and the lower the success rate will be. This is definitely a major consumption of divine power.
Fortunately, he has already met the 5 points of divine power required to become a demigod, and has already met the divinity standard to become a true demigod. There is no need to rush, and he can slowly condense it in the future, instead of wasting most of his divine power on this like ordinary legendary strongmen.
The remaining 400,000 divine powers will be saved for the time being and used after being promoted to Legend.
After becoming a legend is the road to becoming a god. Theoretically, after being promoted to a legend, one can begin the process of becoming a god.
Including condensing divinity, condensing priesthood, creating the kingdom of God, enlightening priests, opening up a divine magic system and so on. In theory, it can be done after becoming a legend, but most of the legendary powerhouses have no inheritance and have no idea how to start.
This results in most of the indigenous legendary strongmen being stuck at the current level for their entire lives, having no awareness at all and not knowing what to do.
Now that the divine power has been accumulated enough, once you are promoted to Legend, you can immediately use the divine power to transform the divine domain, and slowly transform the divine domain into the kingdom of God unique to the war lords.
The kingdom of God of the Lord of Destiny War is different from the kingdom of God of the indigenous true gods.
The rules within the indigenous kingdom of God are special. Mortals cannot survive or move inside.
The War Lord's Kingdom of God is transformed from the Divine Realm. It not only possesses the characteristics of the Kingdom of God, but also retains the characteristics of the Divine Realm. This means that believers and petitioners can coexist in the Divine Realm, and can also move to any plane at will without affecting the power of the true God.
It is worth mentioning that the kingdom of God after the transformation of the divine domain is not a place where believers and praying people live together.
Instead, he used divine power to change the rules of the divine realm and opened up another spatial dimension in the divine realm. The followers of the divine realm lived on one dimension, and the petitioners transformed from dead believers lived on the dimension of the divine kingdom.
After closing the personal panel, Li Qing opened the log again.
It records the information collected through various channels during this period, not only about the wild and primitive plane, but also about the main plane and some things that happened in other planes of the plane group.
There is nothing big, it is mainly basic intelligence about the various forces in the main plane.
He paid special attention to those chosen ones.
After the battle with Xia Yuanqing, he had a new understanding of these innate divine powers. He had placed them in the position of being the most threatening. Even the dozen or so true gods in the main plane were not as threatening as them.
According to the information he got from Gu Qiangu, according to the rules, if they choose to be promoted to formal war lords in this plane group, it means that soon after they are promoted to formal war lords, all seals will be unlocked and they will become true gods in one step.
Gu Qiangu was also born sacred, and he did the same thing at the beginning.
And because they are born holy, they don't need to consider things like future potential. They only need to meet the minimum standards to be promoted to official war lords.
This means that they can be promoted to formal war lords in just a dozen years at the fastest, or just twenty to thirty years at the slowest.
Then break the seal and become a true god.
The intelligence collected in recent years has been both good and bad.
The bad news is that one of the fastest-growing Destiny Children has settled on a large island outside the main continent and has gained the upper hand in a war with an indigenous demigod on the island.
The unification could be completed in five or six years at the fastest, or about ten years at the slowest. By then, he could use this as a foundation to be promoted to a formal war lord, and then become a god.
The good news is that after they become gods, they will be rejected by the main plane like the indigenous true gods, and can only leave the main plane and enter the void outside the plane.
By then, they would probably spend several decades transforming the divine realm into the kingdom of God, and then condense the first incarnation of God before it could descend.
If someone is unhappy with me and wants to cause trouble, it will take at least thirty years before he can send an incarnation.
However, it is highly unlikely that anyone would be so bored as to send an incarnation here, except Murong Shifang, who has a grudge against him.
As the focus of Li Qing's attention, he entrusted Gu Qiangu to keep an eye on it. Murong Shifang has just found a suitable location to attack, and it is unlikely to conquer it in a short time.
