"Rumble——Roar——"
A white giant tiger with a single horn on its head, larger than a mountain, leisurely strolled to the edge of a lush, seemingly endless forest and let out a long howl.
Soon after, tens of thousands of vines began extending from the forest's edge, each vine entwined around a massive... mushroom?
These strange mushroom creatures had a breath of Tier One if they were weak and Tier Two if strong, with azure glows emanating from their heads, and their tentacles flailing wildly as if struggling desperately.
Yet no matter how they struggled, they could not break free from the vines binding them.
Soon, the mushrooms were delivered to the giant tiger's feet by the vines.
The giant tiger fixed its gaze on them, and the mushrooms instantly stiffened, unable to move.
Only then did the vines completely release them, bowing slightly toward the giant tiger as if in salute, and then slowly retracting back.
The giant tiger nodded in satisfaction, allowing the vines to leave, and lowered its head to enjoy the mushrooms the vines had presented.
However, at this moment, it suddenly sensed a slight disturbance in the world barrier not three thousand miles away.
It paused its motion to taste the mushrooms, lifted its head, and looked dazedly toward the source of the disturbance at the world barrier.
"Crack——Crack Crack——"
A few pure white rays of light shone through from beyond the world barrier, and wherever the light touched, the once invincible world barrier melted like snow meeting blazing sun.
"What is this?" The giant tiger, intrigued, ignored the pile of mushrooms at its feet and instead flew into the air, heading toward the boundary of the world barrier.
When it was within just twelve hundred miles of the world barrier, suddenly thirty life forms with terrifying auras appeared in its perception.
Although these life forms looked bizarre, their auras were no less than those of the Beast Emperors residing in the world's center.
Yet there were only twenty-six Beast Emperors in total, while there were thirty here, followed by more than ten thousand Beast Kings and Great Beast Kings.
Sensing the presence of these powerful beings, the giant tiger foresaw impending danger and immediately turned to fly towards the world center.
In that instant, a black rope silently wrapped around its body and instantly tightened.
"Roar——"
It was at that moment the giant tiger became aware of the rope, its fur standing on end, as it let out an angry roar. The horn on its forehead emitted white light, surging toward the rope binding it.
The black rope also began spreading like a liquid, trying to completely envelop the giant tiger.
Soon, the black glow transformed from the rope collided with the white glow emitted from the giant tiger's horn.
Without any delay, the black glow instantly engulfed the white glow and continued to cover the giant tiger's head.
"Roar——"
The giant tiger let out a terrified roar. It realized wherever the black glow covered, its body lost sensation, and if it continued like this, it would surely die here today.
Yet it knew the power of the Beast Emperors was utterly beyond its resistance, leaving only a deep despair in its heart.
Inexplicably, it felt as if this scene was somewhat familiar, as if it had experienced it countless times before...
Before the black glow covered its eyes completely, it glimpsed the thousand-odd mushrooms lying on the ground miles away, and suddenly it became clear.
At this moment, it was no different from those mushrooms.
...
At the breach in the Plane Barrier, a large group of strange life forms emerged one after another.
"Tork, you're really lucky," said a Rock Giant at the forefront of these strange life forms, turning to look at a shadow less than a meter tall beside him. "You caught a Tier Four native right away, and it seems to be one of the sovereign life forms of this plane?"
"Just a minor achievement,"
The black shadow Tork indifferently shook its head. With a thought, the giant tiger completely enveloped in black energy swiftly flew toward it, stopping beside a blue sphere about two meters tall. "Kali, I'll leave it to you."
"Alright," responded the blue sphere, and then it surged directly toward the giant tiger's head, covered in black energy.
As it reached the giant tiger's head, the black energy that had tightly enveloped the giant tiger automatically receded. Just before the giant tiger could feel relieved, it saw a glimmer of blue light rushing toward its head, and then it lost consciousness.
The other strange life forms made no move, simply hovering silently in place.
The elemental energy in this plane is not weak; if nothing goes wrong, there are likely Tier Six life forms present. We must wait for the Venerable God to set the plan before we start the battle.
Approximately ten seconds later, the blue sphere emerged from the giant tiger's head, and the life essence of the giant tiger disappeared.
"How is it, Kali? How many Tier Six life forms are there in this plane? Is it an instinct system?" Tork asked curiously.
"It's an instinct system, with a total of twenty-six," answered Kali excitedly. "But that's not the main point. Do you know what I discovered? This plane is experiencing an element tide recession!"
"What?!"
"Element tide recession?"
"A plane with twenty-six instinct system Tier Six life forms experiencing element tide recession..."
All the strange life forms were stunned by this news, then their eyes reflected a fervent light.
Element tide recession signifies plane expansion.
Having twenty-six instinct system Tier Six life forms means this plane is at least a top-tier medium plane.
Combined, it means that a large plane is about to be born.
If a faith system cultivator occupies this plane, with the passage of time, they will eventually become a great presence.
"Our Venerable God will be a great presence in the future," murmured the Rock Giant in disbelief.
Though it had always followed the Venerable God in battle, loyal without failure, it was never truly convinced that the Venerable God would eventually become a great presence.
But now, with a naturally forming large plane, everything would be different.
As the strange life forms were immersed in their shock, a white spaceship escorted by fifty-three Tier Six strange life forms flew into the plane along the barrier crack.
"Salutations to the Venerable God," chanted the odd life forms, all at least Tier Four, coming back to their senses and performing their civilization's highest ritual with much more reverence than ever before—an admiration from the depths of their being.
"Hoo——"
A Silver Wolf flew out from the spaceship, surveying the surroundings. It naturally sensed the strangeness in these beings but wasn't too concerned, asking, "What's the situation in this plane?"
"Returning to the Venerable God, Tork just captured a..." Kali enthusiastically relayed the incredible findings gleaned from the giant tiger.
"What? You're sure?" Although aware that the Tier Six life forms who swore before the Oath Stone wouldn't dare deceive it, the Silver Wolf still couldn't quite believe it.
Its ultimate goal in endless battles was merely to find one top-tier medium plane.
Who would have thought a top-tier medium plane, transforming into a large plane, would appear so simply before it—its fortune was indeed unparalleled.
"I daren't deceive the Venerable God," replied Kali respectfully.
After a long while, the Silver Wolf finally came back from boundless joy, laughing heartily, "Haha, excellent, excellent, Kali, Tork, from today onward, your races will become my core vassal races."
With these words, it looked at the other strange life forms, "You need not be discouraged; as long as you perform outstandingly in the upcoming war, I won't be stingy with rewards."
"Thank you, Venerable God."
"Thank you, Venerable God."
"Yes, Venerable God."
...
Named by the Silver Wolf, Kali and Tork were exceedingly delighted; becoming core vassal races of a great presence meant their races would no longer suffer various oppressions in the future, with breakthrough limitations from Tier One to Tier Four completely obliterated.
In terms of status, only a step below the family of the great presence, they were truly above many other races.
They never imagined that merely capturing a Tier Four life and retrieving intelligence from its memories would yield such immense rewards.
The remaining strange life forms, while envious and jealous, also steeled themselves.
In this rare opportunity occurring once in a million years, they must strive to demonstrate excellence; as long as they caught the eye of the Venerable God, they too have a chance to become core vassal races.
