91: Chapter 91 Continued Cultivation

The vast expanse of dense forest that landed last was a species of highly Shaling-resistant vegetation specially selected by Lin Ye.

All the trees, grasses, and parasitic fungal groups had undergone top-tier screening by the military, naturally adapting to extreme Shaling environments. Their root systems could proactively absorb free, impure Shaling Qi, transforming it into their own vital essence. They did not fear the erosion of baleful Qi, nor would they wither and decay; instead, they grew increasingly lush in high concentrations of Shaling Qi, except that this stuff was a little too scarce.

The entire dense forest was overlapping, gloomy, and profound, perfectly suited for the Illusion Pupil Fox to hide and sneak, and for the Pestilence Mosquito to breed and multiply, forging an exclusive natural secret realm for the shadow-type and plague-type kin.

Along with the four major landforms completely landing and forming, a massive amount of spiritual values completely integrated into the Divine Kingdom's earth. The anti-Shaling vegetation was entirely sown, took root, sprouted branches, and sprouted, giving the entire layout of the Divine Kingdom a completely new look.

Amidst the fierce and violent heaven and earth, a bustling vitality was added, and the dead airspace became distinct in layers, combining both stillness and motion.

Moreover, the transformation of the vegetation's root systems continuously condensing free Shaling Qi and spiritual values blending with Shaling Qi caused the richness of the Shaling Qi inside the Divine Kingdom to rise slightly once again, making its overall foundation a notch deeper than before.

The increase in Shaling concentration meant that the speed of cultivation, advancement, and nourishment for the kin would be faster, but it would also once again increase the rate at which their souls were contaminated with Shaling Qi.

Yet now, Jinghun Hall stood eternally at the center of the Divine Kingdom, its purification mechanism operating at full speed without rest all year round, having long since locked onto the perfect equilibrium line.

Even if the Shaling Qi concentration rose further and the contamination speed became even faster, the purification efficiency still steadily crushed the erosion speed, and the divine souls of all kin consistently maintained clarity and stability, without breeding the slightest hidden danger of inner demons running amok or losing control into madness.

Balancing the nourishment of ultimate combat power and absolute divine soul stability, the Shaling Divine Kingdom at this moment could truly be said to have transformed into a top-tier innate divine kingdom secret realm.

Having polished the landform, stabilized the environment, and consolidated the foundation, Lin Ye finally pulled out his last two bottom-of-the-box top-tier trump cards.

The first was the exclusive reward for this tournament's champion—the Eight-Year Divine Kingdom Time-Flow Card.

The second was the S-Rank Divine Kingdom Propagation Card he exchanged using military merit.

At the present stage, his kin's individual quality, bloodline grade, Divine Kingdom foundation, and cultivation environment had all reached the ceiling of his peers; the only shortcoming was the insufficient population size of the tribes.

To allow the overall combat power to form an overwhelming scale advantage and completely make up for the systematic shortcomings, rapid propagation and long-term cultivation transformation were both indispensable.

Lin Ye was meticulous in thought and did not rush to activate the cards.

Eight years of time flowing in the Divine Kingdom, with massive amounts of kin continuously breeding, cultivating, and advancing, would inevitably consume a huge amount of foundational nutrients and vital sustenance resources.

He mobilized his remaining military merit and exclusive resources in advance, stockpiling a large batch of high-tier spiritual food, Shaling origin crystals, and vital supply resources inside the Divine Kingdom, covering the habitats of all major secret realms, completely eradicating the problems of resource shortages and propagation stagnation during the eight-year flow period, and building a solid foundation for the rapid growth of all kin.

Everything was properly prepared. Lin Ye sat upright in the center of the cultivation room, his gaze calm and sharp, his fingertips gently rubbing the two brilliantly glowing Divine Kingdom cards. With his mind locked onto the Divine Kingdom's origin, he officially initiated the final ultimate transformation enhancement of the Divine Kingdom.

"Double cards, fully activated!"

With a low mental shout falling, the two top-tier cards instantly erupted with dazzlingly brilliant origin divine light. A silver and a gold halo intertwined and fused, instantly blanketing the entire three-thousand-square-kilometer heaven and earth of the Divine Kingdom.

The S-Rank Propagation Card took effect first. Endless propagation Dao patterns densely covered the mountains, rivers, and marshes, gently shrouding every single kin, greatly raising the tribes' breeding rate and enhancing the bloodline purity of the newborn pups, preventing the birth of defective and weak bodies. Every batch of newborn kin had a fully equipped S-rank starting foundation.

Closely following, the Eight-Year Divine Kingdom Time-Flow Card drove the spacetime Dao, distorting the time dimension of the entire Divine Kingdom.

The time flow of the outside world was infinitely slowed down, while the time inside the Divine Kingdom surged and flowed rapidly, forming an extremely terrifying time difference.

Within the Divine Kingdom, time flew like a shuttle and years sped by;

Outside the Divine Kingdom, the years stood still and time was peaceful.

Lin Ye sat quietly in the cultivation room, having spent merely a brief time of one day and one night, yet within his Divine Kingdom, a full long span of eight years had already completely passed.

Eight years of nourishment in the ultimate Shaling environment, eight years of full-speed propagation and iteration, eight years of time settling in cultivation, paired with the ultimate enhancement of the S-Rank Propagation Card and the permanent equilibrium of Jinghun Hall, all the kin under Lin Ye's command ushered in an unprecedented massive population explosion. Both their quantity and foundation completed a leap-style surge, and the scale of each tribe completely formed, spreading across every secret realm and mountain of the Divine Kingdom.

The veteran kin, which originally had a limited population, after eight years of generational breeding and survival of the fittest, completely crushed their past tribal scale:

Having gone through bloodline iteration and Shaling tempering, the base number of the Shahun Hound tribe madly surged, finally stabilizing at 5,387 heads. Every single one had undergone eight years of Shaling baptism, with ferocious physiques and condensed Shaling Qi, making them the most loyal foundational main combat force;

The Sha-Swallowing Python lurking in the abyss of the spiritual river bred rapidly, growing wildly by relying on the water-type Shaling Qi, with its quantity stabilizing at 6,379 heads. Their python bodies condensed Shaling and devoured spirits, and their physical bodies were incomparably formidable, entrenched in the abyss to transform into a terrifying underwater ultimate-kill combat force;

Relying on the ultimate propagation characteristic and the plague everlasting mechanism, the fluttering Pestilence Mosquitoes completely filled the sky and earth. A full 70,000 mosquitoes connected into a plague-Qi cloud sea, capable of stirring up a domain-wide plague disaster with a single thought, maxing out the suppression power;

The Illusion Pupil Fox in the dense forest secret realm hid and propagated, with the number precisely reaching 3,968 heads. Every single one was proficient in illusion stealth and divine soul insight, making them the Divine Kingdom's top-tier shadow assassination echelon;

The Counter-Injury Armored Turtle guarding the border defense mountains steadily propagated and accumulated layer by layer, ultimately forming 4,216 heads. Their heavy shells were covered with anti-Shaling divine patterns, constructing an impregnable steel defense line;

The Xuanyin Nether Shadow Hound, which acquired the potential of primeval fierce beasts acquired later, relied on top-tier bloodline advantages to reap a double harvest in propagation quality and quantity, reaching a tribal scale of 5,214 heads. Each one concealed the ultimate evolution seed of the Hou, with boundless future potential;

The Soul-Devouring Owl circling the high altitude, after experiencing eight years of time, saw its number surge to 5,869 heads, mastering the power of divine soul devouring, sitting guard over the firmament, and controlling the domain-wide air supremacy.

A full eight years of time settling, paired with top-tier propagation blessing and high-concentration Shaling nourishment, Lin Ye's Divine Kingdom completely shed its mortal body and exchanged its bones.

Massive amounts of kin performed their respective duties and spread in all directions. The six major combat power systems of main battle, defense, plague, shadow, air supremacy, and divine soul linked together perfectly, with a massive scale and in orderly fashion.

At this moment, even against a proud prodigy with an SSS-rank rating, Lin Ye was confident he could suppress them single-handedly. After all, the number of kin inside Lin Ye's Divine Kingdom at this time was about to break through to a full 100,000 heads.

With Jinghun Hall purifying and balancing day and night throughout the entire process, even with eight years of continuous Shaling erosion and the massive propagation of the tribes driving the Shaling concentration to climb layer by layer, not a single kin showed hidden dangers of inner demons breeding or divine souls running amok.

This, in turn, allowed Lin Ye's heart to be completely put at ease.

However, there was still a very serious problem at this moment.
