Age of Evolution#

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1144: Current Situation of the Squad_1 Chapter 1141: Chapter 1144: Current Situation of the Squad_1 Aegus is an Upper God, and his spiritual power is nearing the completion of Cui Mang.

Even if it were truly the completion of Cui Mang, he stood no chance of soul-locking him.

Yet, he felt that Lin Zhen’s spiritual power was as vast as an ocean.

Compared to Lin Zhen, Aegus’ spiritual power seemed insignificant, like a small puddle.

His will to resist was crumbling.

Even though he knew that Lin Zhen was going to soul-lock him, Aegus could do nothing to prevent it.

His body struggled desperately, trying to avoid the fate of becoming a puppet.

…

Lin Zhen could easily have slain him.

Yet fearing to kill him with an overly forceful attack, he simply decided to use the Sun Ring.

“Stop resisting, accept your fate!”

His spiritual power released through the Sun Ring, doubling its strength, instantly destroyed all of Aegus’ resistance.

Within seconds, Aegus was reduced to a puppet.

All this happened right under Andromandis’ watchful gaze.

Anda watched as Lin Zhen effortlessly soul-locked Aegus, and his pupils contracted for a brief moment.

Lin Zhen’s power surpassed his imagination.

He defeated Aegus in one hit and soul-locked him in an instant.

Even if Anda himself had tried to do this, he would not have succeeded as easily.

He had maintained a superior attitude towards Lin Zhen all this time.

But at this moment, he had no option but to regard Lin Zhen as an equal.

His previous contempt had vanished completely.

“Lin Zhen…I think you have qualified to have a proper discussion with me.”

Lin Zhen stood upright, silent.

Instead, Aegus walked over and gestured rudely towards the Water Mirror.

“What nonsense are you spouting?

Just get lost!”

“Oh, by the way, your one hundred million points, I’m transferring them to Lin Zhen now.

You fool, you are such an idiot, hahaha!”

The Water Mirror shattered under Aegus’ control, ending the call.

Lin Zhen clearly saw Anda’s seeming infuriated state in the final moments of the call, and he couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“Aegus, give me your points.”

Without any hesitation, Aegus handed over all of his points to Lin Zhen.

It is possible to transfer points between different races.

Prices are standard across all races, as a measure to maintain balance.

Aegus had slightly over a hundred million points in total.

If Andromandis hadn’t transferred a hundred million points to him, Aegus would have been almost as impoverished as Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen didn’t show any mercy towards Aegus.

He took all of Aegus’s points and even took over all his assets.

Aegus did have some savings.

Although his points weren’t much, he actually had a shuttle machine in his possession, which Lin Zhen took without hesitation.

After doing all this, Lin Zhen directly ordered Aegus to take his own life and hand over all the God Crystal Divine Stones as well.

Aegus, who was soul-locked, had no will to resist.

He complied without any second thoughts, leaving all of his savings to Lin Zhen.

Given the enmity between him and Lin Zhen, if Aegus hadn’t had Andromandis’ hundred million points, Lin Zhen would not have given him even a second longer to live.

Originally, Lin Zhen had come just to slaughter Aegus and vent his anger, knowing well that Aegus had lost his Sovereign Seal.

However, he had not expected to gain so much from it.

His points, which had been reduced to zero, had once again surpassed a hundred million.

This gave Lin Zhen a boost in confidence.

At least now he could deal with Hai Yun’s demands for money.

“I can’t touch this hundred million yet.

I need to save it for a rainy day.”

Apart from this hundred million, the remaining few hundred thousand points wouldn’t be sufficient for much.

Lin Zhen knew he would need to put in more effort.

But this time, Lin Zhen didn’t plan on staying in the peripheral Volcano Area.

He planned to move towards the core of the Mirror Lake District.

Having identified his direction, Lin Zhen summoned Thundercloud and slowly moved forward.

He had plenty of time and hoped to stumble upon some treasures along the way.

********

Deep in the Volcano Area, near the edge of Mirror Lake, there was a passageway.

Most of the peripheral Martial Artists would tread along this path, never straying too far from it.

Su Shanna’s team was one of such groups.

For the past seventeen years, Su Shanna and her two teammates had been careful and cautious, amassing points.

They had been in several fights over the years but had managed to survive.

The trio still remained at the Peak Middle-level God status.

Advancing to Upper God status was not easy.

Unless they advanced to Upper God status, they couldn’t be considered skilled fighters and could only wander around the outer regions.

However, they had managed to collect some spoils over these years.

They had found a few weapons which were improvements over their previous ones.

Today, the team went out again and successfully located a vein of Chaos Primordial Stone.

Su Shanna’s team was overjoyed as they quickly collected the stones.

Final count revealed that it amounted to nearly two hundred stones!

“We’re rich!

At least, these stones could be exchanged for tens of millions of points.

Divided among the three of us, each one of us will have a few million.”

Vieri said happily, his eyes sliding towards Su Shanna.

Su Shanna was wearing a golden, lower-grade weapon armor and holding a golden wand in her hand.

With a white cape on her back, she looked radiant and imposing, like a goddess of war.

Although she wasn’t an Upper God, Su Shanna was still quite powerful among the Middle-level Gods.

“Indeed, we are lucky.

We have been working together for many years, coordinating our search for treasures and battles quite well.

Therefore, such a big haul is justified.”

Yibu chimed in, “It’s a pity that we can’t go to the Mirror Lake district to find treasures.

That’s the place where the most valuable items are.”

Su Shanna sighed, “The discipline within our Star River Giant Beast Alliance is too lax to form a large-scale team.

If only we could temporarily join a clan or group, someone would lead us and we could go to Mirror Lake.”

Yibu was shocked, “Su Shanna, how could you think like that?!

This is against our tribe’s rules!”

Su Shanna scoffed, “No one would know.”

Yibu shook his head, “No, this matter is too serious.

Su Shanna, you can’t decide it on your own.

We need to discuss.”

Displeased, Su Shanna replied, “Let’s vote then.

If two out of three agree, the decision will pass.”

Looking at Vieri, Yibu didn’t feel confident about the vote.

He thought for a bit and said, “No, our team has four members.

Lin Zhen is not here.

If we want to vote, we should wait for him.”

“Don’t mention Lin Zhen, he’s either dead or a deserter by now.

The hunting period will be over by the time he comes,” Su Shanna said crossly.

“But even if we want to go, there’s no one to lead us, right?” the previously silent Vieri finally spoke.

Su Shanna put forth, “That’s not necessarily true.

I know someone from the Eight Great Hammers.

If I request him, this plan might possibly succeed.”

“Someone from the Eight Great Hammers?

If he’s just some low-level member, it won’t be useful.”

Upon hearing Vieri’s question, Su Shanna smiled complacently, her face was clearly showing off that she knew some influential figure.

Trying to impress with borrowed power, she said, “Better brace yourselves for this.
