Starlight Fortress, Divine Tribe's temporary Residence:
After the purge by Divine Tribe's army, not a single Elemental Monster remained in the Residence. Instead, the Residence was packed with players. Not only were these players very high-leveled, but they also wore excellent equipment. They could be considered Divine Tribe's elites.
However, these experts were curious about the Starlight Fortress. Some of them even looked excited.
The Starlight Fortress had become the focus of attention for many powers.
As Star Valley's forbidden land, the Starlight Fortress was incredibly useful. Not only could it save players a lot of travel time, but it could also serve as a resting place for players to rest and recover. At the same time, the Starlight Fortress had become the forbidden land's trade hub.
Star Valley was massive. Moreover, there were no resting spots in the surrounding maps. In addition, Star Valley was a resource treasure trove. In the future, players who came to the Starlight Fortress to level up and obtain resources would have to trade in the Starlight Fortress. In the future, the Starlight Fortress would provide an immeasurable amount of resources.
Moreover, as an ancient fortress, the Starlight Fortress had a Mana-rich environment that other fortresses didn't have. For the western continent, which lacked Mana, the Starlight Fortress was a rare training ground.
Shifeng could understand why Divine Tribe's members were so excited.
The Starlight Fortress was a fortress that had survived since ancient times. After players had occupied it, not only had the fortress's magic array gathered a large amount of Mana, but the Mana was also very gentle. Even players with average control over Mana could improve their control over the Mana inside the fortress.
Although this feeling was only temporary, if players stayed in the Starlight Fortress for a long time, their Mana control would improve significantly.
For the western continent's players, who focused on their Mana control, the Starlight Fortress was a treasure trove.
"Lord Hei Yan, the commander and the others have arrived in the reception room. Please follow me."
Shortly after Shifeng arrived at the entrance, a Level 106, middle-aged man in Knight attire approached him. This man looked very amiable and humble, but the aura he radiated rivaled that of a Grand Lord. In fact, he might even be stronger than the Crimson Witch.
"Sorry for the trouble." Shifeng sighed ruefully when he saw the middle-aged man.
Currently, Shi Feng and Yan Tianxing were the only two Domain Realm experts in Zero Wing.
Yet, in less than a day, another Domain Realm expert had appeared in Divine Tribe.
He had to admit that superpowers were truly amazing. Every member of the Guild was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Ling Yi would most likely need some time to catch up.
After the Shifeng finished speaking, the middle-aged man, who looked like a noble knight, led the Shifeng to Divine Tribe's temporary Residence.
When the Shifeng entered Divine Tribe's temporary Residence, he was shocked.
This was because the temporary mansion had been completely renovated. Not only was it resplendent, but the stone slabs on the ground were also made of Magic Ore. It was so luxurious that not even Ling Yi's headquarters could compare to it.
Magic Ore was a rare ore. Although it wasn't as valuable as Magic Crystals, it contained a significant amount of Mana. When crafted into items, it would release a small amount of Mana, increasing the Mana density of the items. However, it wasn't cost-effective. Even superpowers rarely used Magic Ore to pave their floors.
Yet, Divine Tribe had actually used Magic Ore to pave the ground in Divine Tribe's temporary Residence. This wasn't just luxurious; it was practically wasteful.
However, this fact also showed how much importance Divine Tribe placed on this temporary Residence.
If the temporary Residence changed owners, they wouldn't be able to take the Magic Ore with them. It would be the same as gifting it to someone else. Hence, the various superpowers rarely cared about their temporary Residences.
A short moment later, the middle-aged man led Shifeng to the Residence's top-floor reception room.
Three people sat in the room. Aside from Macafre and Crimson Witch, whom Shifeng was familiar with, there was also a beautiful female Warrior with crimson eyes and golden hair. She wore silver-gray light armor and carried a greatsword engraved with Demonic Energy on her back.
Although this female warrior was just sitting there quietly, it was as if all the colors around her had been stripped away. She was the only one left in the entire world. The rest of the world was gray.
"Demoness? Why is she here? "Shifeng was stunned when he saw the female Warrior.
He was more familiar with this woman than he was with Macafre and Crimson Witch.
After all, this woman had been one of the few Tier 6 God-ranked experts in God's Domain. She was also the wielder of the Legendary Weapon, Eternal Sin Sunset. She was so strong that she rarely had a match among Tier 6 God-ranked experts. She had also built her own Guild into a super-first-rate Guild, becoming a legend in God's Domain.
Because she had obtained the Peak Class Magic Eye Hunter, she had become known as the Demoness.
Now, however, this woman actually wore Divine Tribe's Guild Emblem. This was completely different from what Shi Feng had expected.
"President Hei Yan, do you know each other?" Macafre asked curiously when he noticed the change in Shifeng's expression.
"No, we don't know each other. She just looks like someone I know," Shifeng explained, shaking his head after recovering his composure.
"In that case, let me introduce you. This is Fithalia, the commander of Divine Tribe's Divine Hymn Legion. She is also the person in charge of the long-term garrison of the Starlight Fortress," Macafre said, not paying much attention to the woman.
"Hello! I am Hei Yan, Ling Yi's Guild Leader, "Shifeng introduced himself to Fithalia.
"Hello. I've heard a lot about you from Crimson before coming here, but now that I've seen you with my own eyes, I realize that you are even more amazing than Crimson described. You are actually unaffected by my Illusion Domain. It seems that you've already unlocked your Mana Body to a considerable extent," Fithalia said, nodding. Her gaze was filled with surprise as she looked at Shifeng.
The Peak Class Magic Eye Hunter that Fithalia had obtained allowed her to form a Mana Domain innately. Moreover, the Mana Domain would grow stronger as her tier increased. After reaching Tier 3, even Crimson Witch, who had a Peak Gold Mana Body, would be affected by her Illusion Domain. Not only would her control over her own Mana decrease, but she would also lose control over the Mana around her.
Meanwhile, only experts who had unlocked their Mana Bodies to a certain extent could resist her Illusion Domain.
"You've already begun to unlock your Mana Body's full potential?" Crimson Witch asked as she turned to Xiang Shifeng.
She had been researching how to unlock her Mana Body's full potential all this time. However, even now, she hadn't found any clues. She never thought that Shifeng had actually unlocked a portion of his Mana Body's full potential.
"I've unlocked a portion of it, but I'm still far from fully unlocking my Mana Body," Shifeng answered truthfully.
"I see. It's no wonder why your attacks were so powerful," Crimson Witch said, realization dawning on her.
Previously, she had thought that Shifeng's Skills and Spells were ridiculously powerful. She had even thought that they were Tier 3 Skills and Spells. Now, however, it seemed that the Skills and Spells' power had only increased due to unlocking a portion of his Mana Body's full potential.
Suddenly, she felt as if she could catch up to Shifeng.
Although she hadn't begun to unlock her Mana Body's full potential yet, she already had some ideas. Given a few more days, she was confident that she could unlock a portion of her Mana Body's full potential. At that time, she wouldn't lose to Shifeng so easily.
"May I know why you've called me here?" Shifeng asked Macafre and the others, not bothering to explain.
"It's an urgent matter," Fithalia said with a grim expression. "Before I came to the Starlight Fortress, I received news that not only are the various superpowers interested in the fortress, but even one of the Five Great Super Guilds, the Nether Empire, is interested in the fortress. The Nether Empire has even dispatched one of its trump card legions.
"It wouldn't be a big deal if it were the other superpowers, but the Nether Empire is different. Although their trump card legions have very few members, they can't be considered human. They're all monsters. Setting aside the possibility that they'll try to seize control of the fortress, if they cause a ruckus inside the fortress, no one will be able to stop them. Even if we have control of the fortress, we won't be able to operate it properly.
"That's why I called you here, President Hei Yan. I hope that you can sell a portion of the fortress's shares. In exchange, Divine Tribe will mediate the situation. In addition, President Hei Yan, you have the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship to defend the Starlight Fortress. I believe that the Nether Empire won't go too far."
Macafre and Crimson Witch agreed with Fithalia's suggestion.
Everyone on the western continent knew how frightening the Nether Empire was. Among the Five Great Super Guilds, the Nether Empire's members were a group of lunatics. They didn't care about rules or reason. The Nether Empire had already annihilated one of the superpowers because of their actions.
If Divine Tribe had to face the Nether Empire head-on, even if they could defend the Starlight Fortress, the Guild wouldn't be able to establish itself on the western continent.
Their only option was to give up a portion of the fortress's profits. After all, the Starlight Fortress's influence was simply too great. Divine Tribe couldn't defend the fortress by itself. If they had the Nether Empire's help, the outcome would be completely different.
"I understand Divine Tribe's difficulties," Shifeng said, nodding. Smiling, he continued, "As for the Starlight Fortress's future, leave it to Ling Yi. If the Nether Empire wishes to cause trouble, they can try. As long as they succeed, I don't mind giving them the Starlight Fortress. If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."
After saying so, Shifeng turned and left the reception room. For a time, only Macafre, Crimson Witch, and Crimson Witch remained in the room.
