Chapter 323: Chapter 272: Dongli Kingdom’s New Guardian God

But looking back now, Dongli had undergone a world-shaking transformation in just half a year.

In just a few months, three new Saint-level Dominions had emerged in Dongli. Before this, Dongli had only four Dominions in total—the number had nearly doubled!

Its territory had also expanded significantly after multiple Adjudication Battles. The land area of the Dongli Kingdom now surpassed that of the Peninsula Country and the Mu Country.

When someone carefully reviewed all the major events in Dongli over the past six months or so, they discovered that every single one was inextricably linked to Su Ze!

This young genius, who had risen like a comet, had not only skyrocketed to fame himself but had also propelled Dongli’s development.

The Six Nations’ Top Academies Exchange Tournament, the Divine Dice trial—he had taken first place in both...

He participated in multiple Adjudication Battles, winning back a great deal of lost territory for Dongli...

In his first Adjudication Battle, he won back two people for Dongli. One was the national treasure-level evolutionary scientist, Liou Wenxin, and the other was Dongli’s fifth Guardian God, Sun Xiayun...

Even the down-and-out young man he had brought back from the Luofan Country had now become a new Guardian God of Dongli!

Netizen from the Ancient An Country: Such an outstanding talent! We strongly suggest inviting him to join our Ancient An Country!

Netizen from the Mu Country: Miracles always happen around him.

Netizen from the Great Desert Kingdom: Someone surrounded by miracles is a miracle himself!

Netizen from the Peninsula Country: According to reliable records, Su Ze’s ancestral home is in Tou’er City, Peninsula Country. Therefore, Su Ze is one of us.

Only the netizens from Luofan remained silent.

Because they were crushed. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

They were silently cursing the Luofan Country’s leadership. A genius like Yargha had actually been driven away by them!

A Saint-level Dominion in his early thirties! While not as dazzling as Su Ze, he was an absolute genius!

At the very least, none of the current Dominions in the Luofan Country had become one in their thirties.

The netizens from other countries, of course, wouldn’t pass up this chance to mock the Luofan Country. They flooded Luofan’s major forums with comments, laughing at them for being unable to retain talent and calling them foolish for pushing away a potential Saint-level prodigy.

The netizens from the Dongli Kingdom were especially merciless. Dongli and Luofan had never gotten along, so how could they pass up such a golden opportunity to rub salt in the wound?

"Thanks for the Dominion you sent over!"

"Thanks for the talent delivery service."

"I urge your esteemed country to rally and send us talent of every kind."

Seeing the smug faces of the Dongli Kingdom netizens, who were gloating after getting the better end of the deal, the Luofan netizens were about to explode with rage. But they were completely powerless to refute them.

...

The whole world was buzzing about Su Ze and Mr. Ya, but after their interview with Dongli TV Station, the two returned to their villa at Dongli University.

At the dining table, Su Ze, Mr. Ya, Liou Wenxin, and Mrs. Yun were gathered around, eating hot pot.

Dongli officials had arranged for a grand and comfortable luxury manor for the two, a benefit befitting their status as Guardian Gods. Mrs. Yun had one as well.

However, the three of them still returned to Dongli University, having grown accustomed to living there.

"The house has been so quiet lately," Liou Wenxin said.

After Mrs. Yun became a Saint-level, she was swamped with duties and could often only return once every few days. With Su Ze and Mr. Ya away at the Miracle Oasis, Liou Wenxin was the only one coming and going each day.

"Sister, you shouldn’t just focus on your research. You need to raise your own evolution level too," Su Ze advised.

The three of them were all Saint-level Dominions, while Liou Wenxin was still at the Cocoon Stage.

Liou Wenxin’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. After a moment of serious thought, she nodded. "Okay!"

She didn’t want to be left too far behind by everyone else. Besides, as a woman, she naturally cared about her appearance. Only by becoming a Saint-level as soon as possible could she extend her lifespan and resist aging.

Moreover, only by increasing her own strength could she be of any help to Su Ze and the others if they needed it in the future.

As a Spiritual-type evolver, she had very little combat power before reaching the Saint-level.

Liou Wenxin had considerable talent; she had simply neglected her own evolution because she focused the vast majority of her energy on evolutionary research.

"Oh, right, Sister, there was something else I forgot to tell you..." Su Ze suddenly remembered. He had kept Amida, who was severely wounded and near death, in his storage item. "If we use the brain of a Spiritual-type Dominion as a base station, could we replicate those Spiritual Power-connected phones that the Filth Earth Organization uses?"

Liou Wenxin pondered for a moment, then nodded. "It’s possible, but the communication range would be much smaller. At most, it would cover about half of Dongping City."

"That’s barely enough." Su Ze handed the Storage Ring containing Amida to Liou Wenxin.

Liou Wenxin scanned it with her Spiritual Power, and a look of astonishment immediately appeared on her face.

Then, an expression of intense interest crossed her face. "Come to my office tomorrow and help me completely destroy his consciousness," she said. "Only then can I turn him into a base station."

She had never had the chance to experiment on a Saint-level Dominion before, and the thought of it made her quite excited.

Just then, Su Ze and Mr. Ya’s phones began ringing and buzzing one after another as messages poured in.

They were all congratulatory messages, celebrating their promotion to the Saint-level.

People had seen the news of their promotions on TV and online.

The congratulations came from various acquaintances they knew—classmates, friends...

However, reading between the lines of these messages, it was easy to see the reverence and caution. The gap between a Saint-level and an Extraordinary was as wide as heaven and earth. Even if Su Ze and Mr. Ya didn’t feel any different themselves, other people’s attitudes toward them were unconsciously changing.

Those who were closer to them simply called directly to congratulate them.

Mr. Ya was so busy replying to messages and answering calls that he barely had time to eat. Su Ze, on the other hand, simply had his headless clone handle the phone, replying to messages and taking calls without interrupting his hot pot at all.

Among them, a message from Xu Sheng caught Su Ze’s attention.

"Congratulations on your promotion to Dominion, Mr. Su! I have already submitted an application to the corporation and received approval. We can gather all Tier 4 and above evolution materials from all our stores within Dongli for you to choose from. You just need to set a date and let me know in advance."

’This guy really knows how to play the game,’ Su Ze thought, smiling and shaking his head.

Now that he had reached the Saint-level, he really did need to put upgrading his skills on the agenda.

As for the Dongli National Treasury, with his S-rank authority as a Guardian God, he could already enter and exit freely as long as he made an appointment in advance.

"Let’s do it tomorrow," Su Ze replied to the message.

He planned to visit the Dongli National Treasury and Evolutionary Technology tomorrow to upgrade all the skills he could.

Since he had decided to go to the Mu Country, he naturally had to increase his combat power as much as possible.
