Capítulo 1006: Chapter 482: The Lake of Ten Thousand Dragons Reborn

The palace prepared for Li Yelai by the Jile Sect was located inside the mountainous terrain near the ruins.

Perhaps it was due to its sturdy nature.

During the chaotic battles, the damage here was not severe and could serve as a resting place.

Currently, many official strongmen and soldiers were resting inside the cleared Jile Subsidiary.

This was much better than being exposed to the elements.

Upon entering the room, Cheese seemed to shed all her burdens, gently removing her black trench coat and casually hanging it on the sofa.

Then, she buried herself in the soft bed, her tired body enveloped by its comfort.

She couldn’t help but utter a low, satisfied sigh.

After enjoying the endless softness of the bed for a while, she slowly turned over, lazily saying:

“I really have almost forgotten what sleeping in a bed feels like…”

During the time at Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, the Ye Boshou had to separate and act alone, constantly avoiding the State and destruction’s pursuit. Indeed, even getting a proper sleep became a luxury.

When cooperating in action, at least there were teammates to keep watch and look out for each other.

Acting alone, you couldn’t afford to sleep too soundly.

Now that the great enemy was defeated, it was finally possible to relax the tense nerves a bit.

She wore a light-colored, loose sweatshirt, its hem swaying with her side-lying movement. Unintentionally, it revealed a glimpse of fair, delicate skin and a slender waistline. She seemed unaware, adjusting the pillow’s position instead.

“Then have a good rest.” Li Yelai covered her with a blanket, blocking the beautiful scene.

Cheese didn’t refuse, and after wriggling under the covers for a while, she tossed out her clothes and pants.

Her peach blossom eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, yet she lightly laughed: “This bed is quite big, care to rest together?”

“No…” Li Yelai paused, responding: “I’m not that tired yet.”

“Strong physique, indeed strong, not only strong body but also great strength.” Cheese’s calf extended out of the covers, nudging Li Yelai: “And a stubborn mouth!”

“No…”

“I have a say, after all, also…” Cheese’s voice grew softer and soon fell into sleep.

She was indeed too tired, falling asleep before finishing her bold words.

Li Yelai, sitting on a sofa beside, gazed at the sleeping Cheese, a wave of guilt and self-blame spreading.

Even though in today’s era, pre-Calamity ethics aren’t much emphasized.

Certain Spiritual Ability Families, to continue their bloodline and existence, would also have multiple companions.

Like the few veins of the Jing Family.

Like Li Yelai’s grandfather in his bloodline, who was a ruler of the three veins and had a half-sibling relationship with other rulers.

Yet he… still felt lost and helpless.

The intense sense of immorality weighed down on him. But he wouldn’t hide…

“Sigh…” he sighed, most loathing people like Ye Han.

But now, he seemingly became the person he loathed.

….

As the fugitive members of the Jile Sect were eliminated, it heralded a rebirth for Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

The Chaos Power shrouding Ten Thousand Dragon Lake was thoroughly eradicated by the Human Army.

The nobles who allied with Chaos were also cleaned out.

A large number of dangerous Extraordinary Creatures were driven off or hunted down by the Human Army.

Of course, there would also be some support they received.

Certain native nobles and States believed that the intervention of the Giant City would disrupt the inherent hierarchy in the second layer of Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

Slaves would be released, nobles would no longer be superior. This was unacceptable to them.

Even maintaining all their properties, moving them to the Giant City, they were unwilling.

In the second layer of Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, they could monopolize Spiritual Energy knowledge and thus monopolize power.

In their respective States, they held immense power as local tyrants.

Forcing them to abandon this power to be rich in the Giant City, they were unwilling.

Not to mention, the Giant City did not allow slaves. Thus, their slaves would all be freed by the Giant City.

Of course, the Giant City would provide them some compensation.

But in their eyes, those slaves were important assets, free labor, playthings, and subjects of wanton slaughter.

They held the power of life and death over these slaves. Why would they give it up for compensation?

Thus, they organized a group of soldiers intending to oppose the Giant City.

However, when the Human Border Iron Guard arrived in each State, revealing the aura of each Captain and Overlord, their resistance ceased abruptly.

The Giant City communicated with them, creating a sort of illusion.

They needed to understand that this was not an invasion war but liberation!

And the remaining nobles complied readily with the Giant City to reach a ‘partnership.’

Here, some residents would be received by Ba Shu Mountain City. They would quickly integrate into the human world, becoming part of humanity.

And a small part choosing to stay in Ten Thousand Dragon Lake would receive guidance from the Giant City. Free to stay or go.

At the same time, Ten Thousand Dragon Lake would become a key development Inheritance Land for the Giant City.

The special topography and terrain made it easy to defend and hard to attack. Coupled with the reactivated defensive mechanism of the ruins, Ten Thousand Dragon Lake’s defensive power could be greatly enhanced.

Subsequently, came the legacy of the Mingxia Civilization.

Although the Treasure Vault of the Jile Subsidiary was emptied by the authorities, the Inheritance Land of the Mingxia Civilization was immovable.

Each Giant City would send powerful warriors to challenge the Inheritance Land to obtain the heritage, enhancing human civilization.

Thus, the Giant City also began opening up Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

The preliminary plan required at least one Supreme to personally oversee Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

Presumably, it wouldn’t take long.

Ma Hongyi, Mo He, and other Giant City Heavenly Prides would come to Ten Thousand Dragon Lake for the challenge.

Li Yelai pondered, looking towards the Inheritance Land.

The challenge of the Inheritance Land was restricted by tiers, highest being Supreme, lowest Overlord.

And among the human strongmen who arrived here.

There were no shortage of Six Senses Captains and several Overlords.

Currently, there were human strongmen challenging the Inheritance Land.

Amidst the crowd, there was a burst of cheers.

The gate of the Inheritance Land opened, and Yang Chen, shirtless, walked out from it.

As the Eighth Generation Champion, he also challenged the Inheritance Land.

Unsurprisingly, he conquered all the challenges.

Defeating one residual sound avatar of human sages after another, he achieved the final victory!

This made him the second human strongman to conquer the entire venue.

“Captain Yang Chen, what reward did you receive?” a strongman asked.

If it were the Heroic Spirit Sea, the champion’s power could be enhanced!

Yang Chen slightly shook his head: “It wasn’t the Heroic Spirit Sea…”

“But I acquired the Godslayer Weapon…”

“Biomimetic Tear Drop!”
