Chapter 537 - 537 Intelligent God
537 Intelligent God
White clouds floated in the blue sky. They had thousands of shapes and were constantly changing. From time to time, a cool breeze would blow these clouds away.
The eastern barren was mainly composed of flat plains. The vast plains were covered with winding rivers. Due to the existence of these rivers, the land across the eastern barren was pretty fertile. Additionally, according to the study of Taixia scholars, the climate of the eastern barren was similar to the subtropical climate on the Blue Planet, which was very suitable for the growth of crops.
It was no wonder that Lin Xuan would view the eastern barren territory as the future granary of the Xia Dynasty.
Unfortunately, the people of the wilderness world did not know how to work. Large areas of land were abandoned, allowing wild grass to grow freely. What they used to fill their stomachs every day were mostly wild fruits from trees, fish from rivers, or some edible wild grass and vegetables from shrubs.
Therefore, even though the land in the eastern barren was fertile and the land was rich, the population that could be fed in such a large environment was limited. Although it was more than the northern land, it was still limited. Except for the population within the covenant of gods, the rest of the population in the eastern barren were all in the Beiping City, adapting to the lifestyle of the Xia Dynasty.
The overall population of the eastern barren territory should be around 200 million, which was about the same as the population of the small country on the Blue Planet. In fact, the eastern barren territory was three or four times larger than the small country.
Among the 200 million people, the covenant of gods made up about 30 to 40 percent of the population. There were about 70 million people, which was simply unimaginable in the wild era, but because of the existence of gods, it all became a reality.
To accommodate more than 70 million people, the covenant of gods was very large. It even included a small mountain range with several peaks. When ordinary people stood on the city wall, they would see that it was full of residences, and they would not be able to see the city wall at all.
Therefore, the covenant of gods was called the pearl of the wilderness world dungeon!
Now, this bright pearl was facing the most difficult moment in its history. They were surrounded by experts blocking the four city gates. At the East gate, there was Human Emperor Lin Xuan. Such an unparalleled aura made people unable to summon the courage to fight.
Before meeting Lin Xuan, the gods of the eastern barren did not care about this invincible figure who had recently risen. Even if he had defeated the demon dragon and become a first-class master, there were many gods of the eastern barren. In addition, the Sun God and the Moon God had joined forces. Even if the python led a group of ancient gods here, they would only be able to retreat in defeat, let alone the demon dragon.
However, after seeing Lin Xuan in real life, they felt fear and terror. King Ri was missing, and the God of Darkness… Couldn’t even carry the banner of the eastern barren!
Could this city really be defended?
For a moment, many gods of the eastern barren were confused. They did not really want to defend the city, but they wanted to prove their ability, combat power, strategy, or other values through defending the city, so that they would not be abandoned by the Xia Dynasty when they surrendered.
Moreover, they might have the intention to keep the covenant of the gods if they proved themselves.
There were risks in defending the city. First, they were in a hostile state. If they did not surrender in time, they might be killed directly. Second, if the covenant of the gods was dissolved, they would not be able to display their abilities at all.
However, for some reason, Human Emperor Lin Xuan had only surrounded the four city gates and did not attack. What was he planning to do?
The ancient gods hidden in space and time also didn’t understand.
The leader of the ancient gods was Mother Earth. Her body was coiled up in layers, exuding a heavy earthly aura. Her head drooped lazily, and her cruel eyes looked carefully at the situation below with a thoughtful expression. She had lived in the southern barbarians for hundreds of years and thought that she understood the way of strategy. She had used schemes to manipulate the replacement of the southern barbarians kings and had also used open schemes to become the supreme god of the land of southern barbarians.
The people of southern barbarians were not very smart…
In addition to the ancient gods, the great emperor of southern barbarians led six or seven southern barbarians kings to stand with Mother Earth. If Mother Earth had not promised to give him a two-ton piece of flesh after the matter was completed, she would not have brought the men here. After all, they had lost five southern barbarians kings in the battle with the gods of the eastern wilderness. It was a heavy loss.
The southern barbarians people were in urgent need of a large amount of God’s flesh and blood to cultivate high-end combat power, and Mother Earth was a terrifying expert at the peak of the divine level. The flesh and blood of such an expert would be super effective.
“Mother Earth, why is this Human Emperor not attacking the city?”
Mother Earth was known as the most intelligent god to the southern barbarians, and this was publicly acknowledged by many barbarians. At this moment, the barbarians sincerely asked for guidance.
“Well..” To be honest, the barbarians didn’t know that her wisdom was all a bluff. It had been bragged by others for hundreds of years, and she herself had taken it seriously. In order not to lose status as the first intelligent god of the southern barbarians, she began to pull random assumptions out of thin air.
“The Human Emperor is playing a psychological game. He has conquered the North and besieged the covenant of gods in just a month. He is known as the God of War by the people of the gods. He must be trying to subdue the enemy without fighting. It is a good plan. Look, the gods of the eastern barren have begun to waver!”
As if to find some evidence for her words, Mother Earth pointed her tail at several weak gods on the high wall of the covenant of gods. Their expressions were quite off, as if they could not withstand the terrible pressure given by the Human Emperor.
The great emperor of the southern barbarians could not help but be stunned. He looked at Lin Xuan with admiration. He was powerful, but he had always admired tacticians who could turn the tides with a flip of their hands. Moreover, Human Emperor Lin Xuan was not only outstanding in stratagems, but he was also powerful. He was definitely not to be underestimated.
“How should we deal with this?”
“There’s no rush. We’ll just wait. When the war erupts, we’ll take advantage of it.”
As expected of the most intelligent god!
…
Lin Xuan sat on the dragon’s head. Ever since he felt the ancient gods spying on him, he had ordered all actions to stop. He had to find the ancient gods’ location before the war with the covenant of gods started.
Lin Xuan was more anxious to deal with the ancient gods compared to the covenant of gods. After all, the God of Darkness had already surrendered to him, and he had a good understanding of the minds of the gods of the eastern barren territory. The covenant of gods was already in the bag, but the ancient gods were not yet under his control.
