Carefree Path of Dreams
chapter-648

Xuan is a member of the Southern Hill tribe.

According to the words of the high mistress in the tribe, he's a very strong warrior and is able to kill wild boars on his own. He's well-versed at using stone axes and wooden spears, and he can even defend against the attacks of five warriors.

Despite this, he still has to be careful in the jungles, as the human race has never been the "conqueror" of this mainland.

"Sigh… The food obtained by the females in charge of collection within the tribe is getting smaller. Even the forest is as such…"

Due to the food shortage, Xuan had no choice but to walk further than usual with an empty stomach.

Two hundred people in their tribe rely on a river valley to grow a little corn and millet every year. In addition, the main source of staple food is completely reliant on the females foraging and warriors hunting.

Unfortunately, on the mainland, the forest is gradually becoming barren and degenerating into a grassy plain, and various animals are dwindling in numbers.

He clearly knows that the reason completely lies within those huge beasts! Those mobile natural disasters!

Although he's only seen them once from afar, the huge mountain-like forms of the huge beasts and their frightening appetite was deeply engraved in his heart.

Although he's the mightiest warrior within the tribe, Xuan clearly knows that his physique isn't enough to even fit in between the teeth of the huge beasts.

Following the growth of the huge beasts, the districts that they're able to live in are dwindling in number.

Those beasts are impressively omnivorous and eat literally anything.

That includes all types of meat and the leaves of tall trees. When they're famished, they can even devour the land.

What's most horrifying about them is that they even have groups, and they often move together in a division, just like one large tribe.

Wherever they pass by, the forest and the grass plains become completely empty and deserted. This is similar to a natural disaster!

"This year, the tribe has more newborns. I must find sufficient food for them…"

Xuan gritted his teeth, looked at a huge footprint on the ground, and still ventured forward despite all risks.

At the same time, his heart was also silently praying, "Ancestors! Spirits of the mountains and rivers, the grass, and the trees! And those various entities that are able to hear my voice, please bless me! Bless me so that I can obtain sufficient food!"

There is no concrete religion within the tribe at the moment. However, there are small traces of ancestors praying, and there's the widespread belief that all entities have spirits.

"Hmm!"

At this moment, Xuan suddenly inhaled a wave of an exotic fragrance.

Simply inhaling the scent made his appetite increase and the pores on his entire body instantly relax.

"Exotic flowers and magical fruits?"

He rose to attention and inadvertently ran in the direction of the fragrance. "This must be the exotic flowers and magical fruits that the high mistress mentioned before! That year's ancestors were rumored to have eaten a little of the fruit and had transformed completely. The infants in the tribe need it more!"

Xuan quickly ran through a dense forest and instantly saw vegetation, that looked similar to ginseng, slowly blooming on top of a piece of white rock, bearing a string of purple berries.

The astonishing fragrance enveloped the surroundings and constantly attracted waves of animals over.

"Go away… That's mine!" Xuan shouted. At this moment, he forgot everything and only had that string of fruits in his eyes.

Poof!

He waved his wooden spear and penetrated a wild wolf, and he threw out a piece of rock that smashed a colorful poisonous snake to death. He finally stepped onto the huge rock first and grabbed the berries. "This is good…"

Roar! Roar!

But in the next moment, the ground shook.

Amidst the horrifying trembles, a black shadow similar to a small mountain appeared, and it was actually a huge beast that charged towards Xuan. Its large open mouth totally appears to have the intention of swallowing him together with the fruits.

Dum! Dum!

While the huge beast was running, the grounds and the heavens shook like it was the end of the world.

Furthermore, that smell made Xuan's legs shiver and escaping even became a fantasy.

This is the power and influence of the top predator!

Just using its smell and aura, it could make an average hunter freeze and allow it to attack him anyway it wanted.

"Am I going to die?"

Xuan's heart roared frantically, and his eyes suddenly became bloodshot. He suddenly placed the fruits in his mouth. "I'd rather eat it than give it to you!"

Thump!

Once the fruit entered his stomach, a stream of flowing heat immediately rose.

Instantly, the giant beast's large mouth closed and swallowed Xuan, whole, into its stomach.

Just like a snake swallowing something, it stuck its tongue out and licked its mouth, longing for more. Immediately after, it started slowly gnawing at the forest.

Kaboom!

After some time, the giant beast's expression changed, and it let out a huge roar. Its large body tumbled and rolled about on the ground, pressing down on many trees.

Inside its stomach, there was a slight trace of a red radiance, shimmering across its stomach.

"Ahhh!!!"

After half an hour of insanity, the giant beast finally stopped struggling and had no traces of life.

However, there was a large burnt hole which opened up in its underbelly. Xuan's whole body was alit with flames as he ran out from the giant beast's stomach. "I… I didn't die! I lived!" He shouted excitedly and instantly looked at his palms.

Those burning flames actually didn't cause him any harm. Instead, they transformed into different shapes based on his intentions.

"This is… my ability?"

Xuan looked at this spectacle in confusion and finally accepted this truth after a long time. "That string of fruits! I obtained my ability from that string of fruits and killed the giant beast!"

This huge prey underneath him gave him endless joy. "With so much meat, it should be enough for our tribe to eat for a year?"

He could imagine what kind of praise and respect he would receive when he brings this spoil of victory and flame ability back.

A wild thought slowly spread in Xuan's heart.

"Why… does the tribe need to listen to the high mistress?"

"I want to become the tribe leader… I want to integrate all of the tribes across the large river and be the leader of the entire human race… I want… to be king!!!"

…

"Kid, work hard!"

Similar to a God, Fang Yuan looked down at this scene from above.

This time, he used his own ability in cultivation to cooperate with the power of creation, and widely distributed them in the 5 States Mainland.

Various fruits with magical powers were dispatched to different tribes, especially the blood vessels that were restricted within which could only inspire the humans' innate skills.

If the other tribes knew of everything that was going on, they would definitely loudly denounce the injustice of the creator and the god of creation.

But Fang Yuan acted according to his heart's content and shifted his gaze to the Yin-Yang Mainland.

Compared to the delight of the giant beasts in the 5 States Mainland, the situation in the Yin-Yang Mainland was much better.

That's because of the initial breeding and expansion of the Blood Race and the Werewolves. Even though the giant beasts came up to shore back then, it was only considered to be one more food competitor.

The Blood Race and the Werewolves simultaneously, without discussion, made the giant beasts their prey.

In reality, the giant beasts only had a huge body size and a little more strength. It was inferior to the two races in terms of flexibility and the survival of the fittest…

If Fang Yuan had set it beforehand so that the Blood Race and the Werewolves could only infect human beings, there may already be oddities such as giant beast werewolves or giant beast vampires.

However, within the Werewolf community and the Blood Race governed districts, there were also those who domesticated giant beasts and provided them meat; this impressed and surprised Fang Yuan.

Indeed, these overly large animal species would slowly be exterminated in his pre-set environment.

And this time, he reached a key moment.

Within the hegemony between the three races, the Werewolves and the Blood Race already eliminated the giant demons and conquered all of the districts within the mainland. Now, the territory of the two races are already completely bordering one another, and no matter how pragmatic or brave the leader is, he's probably unable to avoid the outbreak of war.

…

Blood castle.

As the Yin-Yang Mainland had the assistance of Fang Yuan to develop, its civilization standard was one level higher than that of the 5 States Mainland.

While the humans on the other side were still living the life of a savage, the werewolves and vampires here already knew how to use stones to build houses and castles, and they've formed a city.

The Blood castle on the western side of the mainland is the governing core of the Blood Race and is the living quarters of the first ancestor—Dracula.

On the sides of the Blood castle at this moment, there were a few large giant beasts linked by thick metal chains, while the other side was deep underground or embedded in the mountain to form a restraint.

Countless strong men, who acted as blood servants, adeptly waved their metal spears at the sides of the giant beasts' feet, plunging and creating many large wounds and using a wooden bucket to contain the fresh blood.

After the wooden buckets were sent to Blood castle, many high-level vampires naturally came out. They wore maid clothes, and an envoy, carrying a silver tray, used a goblet to contain the blood and offered it in the main hall.

"My lords!"

At the seat of honor sat Dracula who had aged considerably, with a head full of silver hair, and a face with deep wrinkles.

However, to many of the high-level Blood race, this ancestor is the most powerful being!

That's because its life expectancy was so high that it has exceeded that of many second and third generation vampires, and he has always firmly maintained the pinnacle of power.

At this moment, Dracula's voice was like a night owl, and the smile on his face gave people goosebumps. "Fresh blood is life!"

"Flesh blood is life! Fresh blood is everything!"

Many vampires raised their wine glasses and drunk heartily, awaiting the ancestor's next sentence.

"In this entire mainland, there can only be one leader! At this moment, there isn't any excess territory that can be allocated to us. We need to defeat those disgusting, vulgar, and dirty werewolves! Take away everything they have!"

Dracula slowly declared all of his thoughts, "In order to engage in war more effectively, we need a better system. Hence, I've decided to reorganize our families by using some sort of symbols to differentiate between class and territory. Hmm, let's call it 'title of nobility!' First, we'll split up into five ranks of males, and the most basic vampire rank 'Boy' can obtain five hundred acres of land. In his land, he has complete authority over his own people and descendants! However, as a result of this, he needs to express loyalty towards the commanding officer of a higher level, who is of the Blood Race rank 'Son'… Going up the ranks, all of the vampires that are ranked 'Senior' must submit to me and obtain approval!"

Dracula stood up and announced loudly, "From today onwards, I am the first Grand Duke of the Blood Race! Dracula! In the future, after governing this piece of the mainland, I'll be coronated as King!"

"Grand Duke!"

"Dracula!"

Countless vampires cheered together and celebrated the birth of a prototype kingdom.

However, their enemies in the northeast were still clueless about what was going on, and they continued living like wild beasts with the structure of a clan and a tribe.
