Chapter 26: Changes

Two hours later.

After meeting the newly joined tribesmen and bolstering his prestige, Su Xingyu left the accompanying tribesmen to arrange their accommodations while he headed to the Divine Hall.

"Clan Leader."

Upon seeing Su Xingyu, the Divine Hall's Guard Captain, Ye Dashan, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Su Xingyu glanced at him and smiled. "Dashan, did you break through to Tier Five?"

"Yes, I just broke through a few days ago," Ye Dashan nodded and replied with a smile.

"Not bad. Keep up the good work." Su Xingyu nodded slightly and patted his shoulder. "I'm going into the Divine Hall to pray. Stand guard and don't let anyone in to disturb me."

"Please rest assured, Clan Leader. With me keeping watch, absolutely no one will disturb you." Ye Dashan patted his chest, his fist striking his black armor with heavy THUD THUD THUD sounds.

Su Xingyu walked straight into the Divine Hall, arrived in front of the divine statue, sat down leaning against it, and closed his eyes.

Inside the Dark Divine Realm.

The Divine Body had already expanded to over fifty feet in height, and this was only thanks to Su Xingyu's diligent cultivation; otherwise, He might have turned into a hundred-foot giant.

His divine might surged boundlessly, portraying the Ultimate Strongest and the utmost holiness.

Over the past few months, the Night Tribe's expansion rate had been outrageously fast. The number of Believers had doubled. As time passed, under the tribe's influence, the new tribesmen gradually deepened their faith, no longer the Pseudo-Believers they once were.

With the support of the Believers, the power of Su Xingyu's Divine Body was increasing by the day. His rate of growing stronger was so fast that He had even lost control of this power for a time, forcing Him to obediently stay within the Divine Realm for Refinement.

Standing up from the throne, He stretched His body, and a terrifying Dark Power instantly enveloped the entire Divine Realm.

The current Divine Realm, along with the growth of His strength, had expanded by several times.

The increase in the number of Believers under His command led to a boost in His strength. The Power of Faith grew more abundant, which in turn resulted in the condensation of more Divine Source.

He then fed the Divine Source back to the Believers, enhancing their strength, which deepened their faith in the Divine Spirit and ultimately attracted even more Believers to join. It was an absolutely perfect closed loop.

It could be said that the Night Tribe's development was completely on the right track. A positive cycle had formed between the Divine Spirit and the tribe; as long as they continued developing like this, both sides would only grow stronger.

His Divine Body hadn't undergone any qualitative change. The only difference was that the power He could channel had increased, making His interventions in reality much more pronounced.

Compared to Su Xingyu's individual growth, the changes in the Night Tribe were far greater, making them several times more powerful than before.

It had to be mentioned that the Half-Metal Giant Tribe was truly powerful. Although their population was small and some were not yet adults, they still contributed a massive number of powerhouses to the Night Tribe.

Among the current Night Tribe powerhouses above Tier Three, the Half-Metal Giants made up a considerable portion.

Fortunately, they were relatively docile, and their only demand was food. As long as they were provided with enough food, no chaos would ensue. Otherwise, with their strength, if they really caused trouble, He would have had His hands full.

After getting along for a period of time, the relationship between the two sides was quite harmonious. Although the Half-Metal Giants hadn't completely submitted to the Night Tribe, they were no longer too resistant to the tribe's orders.

Aside from helping them mine the Refined Iron Ore Veins, the Night Tribe also provided them with some other types of ores.

For the Half-Metal Giants, choosing the Refined Iron Ore as their tribal stronghold was purely an act of desperation. If possible, they would have liked to find a variety of ore veins, but the Refined Iron Ore was plentiful enough to keep them full.

Although the Refined Iron Ore didn't taste very good, it at least allowed their people to eat their fill. If it were any other ore vein, let alone whether they could defend it, the mere low yield would be enough to cause their collapse.

The Night Tribe, which occupied the Black Soil Plain, didn't have a particularly rich array of ore veins, but it was still much better off than the Half-Metal Giants. Moreover, Su Xingyu could purchase ores from other Players.

To the Half-Metal Giants, the Night Tribe could now be considered their greatest benefactors. Ever since joining the Night Tribe, they no longer had to eat dry Refined Iron Ore every day and could even enjoy extra meals from time to time.

Out of various considerations, Su Xingyu hadn't relocated the Half-Metal Giant Tribe into the main headquarters of the Night Tribe. Aside from dispatching two thousand Half-Metal Giants to various strongholds, the rest still lived in their previous valley. In other words, their lives hadn't actually changed much from before. In fact, they were living even more comfortably now.

That the Half-Metal Giant Tribe hadn't completely submitted their loyalties so quickly was also within Su Xingyu's expectations. However, He wasn't in a hurry, because time was on His side.

With the development of the Night Tribe, the native tribesmen would grow increasingly stronger. Once they completely suppressed the Half-Metal Giants in all aspects, He believed the giants would make the correct choice.

After planning His itinerary within the Divine Realm and reconfirming the items He needed to purchase later, Su Xingyu immediately opened the gateway to the City of Gods.

A Light Gate brimming with profound mystery appeared.

Su Xingyu stepped inside. Following a brief moment of dizziness, His figure appeared on the spacious streets of the City of Gods.

Beyond the sky vault remained that familiar, endless starry expanse.

With the experience from His previous few visits, Su Xingyu didn't lose control, trying His utmost to maintain His fifty-foot body. It wasn't that He wanted to show off His strength; He simply had no other choice. Without the suppression of the Plane's Law, managing to maintain a fifty-foot body was already the absolute limit of His control.

Yet, even so, among the crowd of Players, Su Xingyu still appeared overly tall. Except for a few show-offs, the majority of Players tried their best to control their body sizes. Their average height was only about ten feet, and some even maintained the size of ordinary humans.

Compared to Them, Su Xingyu's massive physique was somewhat conspicuous.

Compared to the first time He came in, the number of Players inside the City of Gods had increased significantly.
