The Nado's divine temple was brightly illuminated, surrounded by six giant statues. The Wizard Li warriors who were all naked and powerful lined up neatly to hug the figure thoroughly, allowing the viscous grease permeated out of the icons to drip onto their bodies that glided down their entire body to their feet before forming a large piece of meat shaped in either square, round or diamond.

When the 'meat chunk' was formed, dense, abundant hair immediately grew out. At this time, the Wizard Li warriors who seemed to have just participated in a fierce battle would release the sculpture, panting heavily while lifting it. With an ecstatic joy in their eyes, they would walk up to the side and summon the rest of their energy to lift the 'meat chunk.'

After about five or six minutes, the 'meat chunk' would decompose again into thick grease that flowed down the warrior's arm, eventually wrapping their bodies from head to toe. After that, it would distort and expand to become a 'shell,' creating and adding powerful humanoid monsters to the Wizard Li tribe.

Zhang Lisheng sat on the sacrificial altar of the divine temple and looked around silently. Suddenly, with a thought flashing across his mind, he jumped off the platform and inserted his hand into the pale yellow, milky white meat pile that was over three meters tall and occupied the land of about five square meters beside him.

The meat pile was a protein cultivated with a nutrient base. It could be said as the lowest form of life, and all life in the world evolved from it.

At this moment, the young man's divine power was infiltrating it. That giant protein condensed the evolution of millions of years into an instant and began to change its shape at a rapid speed. Shortly, scales began to grow as it slowly resembled a fish. However, just as Zhang Lisheng had a pleasantly surprised look on his face, it suddenly trembled, and grayish death color began to expand rapidly.

"The 1,756th transformation experiment failed again. The suspected cause is the collapsing of the gene…" The young man stiffened and could not help but let out a long sigh, before taking out a small recorder out of his pocket to say in a whisper.

At the same time, he waved his hand gently. Water vapor condensed immediately in the air and fell to the ground to wash the protein mixed with soil that was about to turn into an inorganic matter. Soon, he washed off the grayish color and allowed the meat pile to be rejuvenated again.

After obtaining the correct idea of using the 'distorted evolution' divine power from the god-bestowed shell of the dominant tribe from the Nutao Sea's three islands, Zhang Lisheng began to experiment continuously. He wanted to use the magical power he obtained from the resurrection seed of the ancient Hellfire god to create his own biological weapons that they could mass-produce.

Unfortunately, sometimes, it was over a hundred times more challenging to alter a finished product than creating something from scratch. Although he possessed the potential to create an incredible biochemical weapon in the 'biochemical weapon factory,' the action of modifying an organic matter into a weapon that could be added onto a living body that looked much easier than granting life to inorganic matter was actually extremely difficult, way beyond his imagination.


Although the groundbreaking use of the simplest' living body'—the protein—as a material had greatly simplified the young man's work, he was still far from being successful.

Fortunately, from the spoils of war he obtained in the Rovan divine temple, he found the 'originator' that the ancient Hellfire god used to create his biological weapons. Although he could not produce his own biochemical weapons, Zhang Lisheng could still make simple copies.

"Karubin, continue to water the meatball with sweet water to make it bigger!" The failures and the unknown situation on Earth forced Zhang Lisheng to temporarily decide not to spend any more energy in vain. Shaking his head helplessly, he pointed to the protein beside him and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The skinny, smart native chief choresman who was standing by the side kneeled and replied respectfully, before standing up to direct several choresmen to command Lohlos to pour a significant amount of nutrients on the meat. 

After receiving sufficient nutrient supplementation, the meat mountain piled up by the abundant protein began to grow slowly. When Zhang Lisheng was calculating the number of materials that he needed to copy and create a 'shell maker,' a sudden shriek awakened him from his contemplation.

Looking at the direction of the sound, it turned out that a Wizard Li warrior had failed to use his 'shell' and had shrieked miserably after being devoured. A few seconds later, several warriors sitting on an erected terrain dragon with their swords ended this shrill cry.

"Karubin, what is the percentage of failure of the Wizard Li warriors in using the 'shells' now?" Looking at the wolf-headed body that continued to wriggle after losing its head, the young man casually asked.

"One out of 25 people would die, Your Great Majesty!"

"It's 5% less than yesterday. The success rate is increasing every day, so it seems like this 'shell maker' has the function of automatically fine-tuning the user's genes." Upon hearing this answer, Zhang Lisheng said with a mutter. Through the corner of his eyes, he saw a dragon hawk descending from the crack in the roof of the divine temple.

"Great God, you devout believers, glory, brilliance, prestige… The legions have already conquered all tribes ruled by Nado and annihilated all Nado tribesmen!" The dispatch warrior sitting on the giant raptor flew down and jumped down from his 'partner' before opening the mottled black animal skin pouch tied on his waist. While he was speaking respectfully on the ground, he offered several ferocious-looking heads.

When he saw a familiar young face glaring with a mixture of fear, unwillingness, hatred, and rage among the heads, Zhang Lisheng smiled nonchalantly, "Very good! Pass down my order, the next battle will be led by Afuda. All legions will march into the south."

Although Nado was the first tribe that Wizard Li attacked in Nutao Sea, since the two ancient cities they possessed were far apart from each other, it took over ten days before they were completely annihilated. At this time, tens of thousands of the Wizard Li's expeditionary army had already dispersed; they had already opened over ten battlefields. One-fifth of the Rovan Island had already been conquered as a territory.

The situation of the expedition to the three islands of the Nutao Sea was unlike other Hellfire islands. It was difficult to attack those strong tribes, and it often would take a long time. Once they were destroyed, the battle of conquests of the weak tribes affiliated to the slave master tribes wouldn't be that troublesome anymore. For this reason, the progress of the war was not slow.

"Yes, Your Great Majesty!" Upon hearing the tribal god's order, the dispatch warrior kowtowed and retreated.

Looking at the dragon hawk flapping its wings and disappearing in front of his own eyes, the young man closed his eyes and savored it before jumping off the altar again. Mists gathered around his body as he flew out of the divine temple.

With the increase of the conquered land and the number of believers, the scope of the divine power released by the Wizard Li totem pole erected on the Rovan Island became more prominent as well. When the Nado tribesmen had perished, it finally covered the entire northeastern inland sea.

At this time, Zhang Lisheng had long been coveting his eyes on the four islands that appeared to be reef stones but were actually ancient giant war weapons situated at the Rovan coasts that he had not reactivated yet because he did not want to waste too much divine power. In fact, they had already reached the time where the tribe could use it.

This kind of substantial biological weapon that was similar to an aerospace warship could be controlled by will like all of its body parts were connected to anatomical nerves. For this reason, as long as a person had the talent and a combat consciousness, he could drive it with just a little training.

By relying on the biochemical warship that had been activated for several months and named the 'Ancient One,' the Wizard Li tribe already had tens of thousands of reserved drivers. As long as enough biological warships were activated, he could form a crushing pressure on the Nutao Sea tribes from the sky.

The Wizard Li's god came to the blue sky and bright sun while taking a deep breath before ordering the choresman who were going up to him, "Tell all skybeast Master to get on the steamship and follow me to set sail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" When Zhang Lisheng's order was passed on, a commotion erupted in the city and the harbor. Not long after, a loaded steam flagship slowly left the berth and rode the waves towards the thumb-sized reef island in the distance.

Standing on the bow of the ship overlooking the distant islands, the young man ignored the warm wind blowing his black hair messily. His hands were waving around gently in front of his chest.

As his arms moved, all the totem poles on several hundreds of Wizard Li's islands began to emit soft brilliance. As divine power gathered, the seawater that was surrounding the distant reef islands mixed with countless of sand from the seabed started to roll and tumble without any wind nor wave around.

Under the impact of the wave, the island's deep reefs began to crack. Finally, the entire shell cracked open and was washed away by the enormous waves, revealing a layer of cold, flat, lustrous leather.

Gradually, red, green, and white spots appeared on the island's 'skin,' from shallow to deep. By the time the steamship sailed near the reef, countless faint white water column had shot out from the sea surface that was surging with turbulent waves, curving to cover the entire island, completing the last step of the rebirth of the ancient weapon.

With a rough calculation, it was estimated that activating the ancient biochemical weapon in the land covered by his faith saved over 60% of his divine power than forcefully granting it a new life using his power of faith. With this estimation, Zhang Lisheng could activate four giant biochemical weapons in just three months of accumulating his power of faith. At once, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Adarua, lead your beastmaster to drive the 'skybeast' to sneak into the sea and reveal its fangs!" He ordered loudly.

"Great God! I, your devout Adarua, will become the sharp sword in your hand and stab all enemies who disrespect your glory." A mighty native warrior with four feathers on his head kneeled on the deck and sang his praise before leading thousands of Hellfire tribesmen to disembark along the ladder to get on the coast.

None of these tribesmen had been infused with the spiritual monster's Gold Core before to obtain the spellcasting ability, but all of them had the status of a chief warrior. They were the lucky ones who managed to have a meteoric rise that Zhang Lisheng personally selected from the bravest ordinary Wizard Li warriors. They would keep the pure bloodlines of the Hellfire tribesmen and manipulate the most potent war weapons left by the ancient Hellfire gods. 

According to the promise made by Wizard Li's god, as long as they could live till they were old and weak, they would be 'blessed' with mighty strength, a long life, and lofty status.

Not long after Adarua and his men jumped onto the 'island,' the ground underneath them began to soften and became a thick liquid, slowly engulfing them.

Then, a flash of light that the naked eye could hardly identify flashed across the surface of the 'island.' The 'great beast' that had transformed into the reef island struggled with its might and set off layers of waves. Then, it swam forward and slowly dive, disappearing without a trace soon after.
