Li Nianfan went back to the four-part architecture and began making some animal feed for the zoo animals. He had plenty of materials at hand. For example, the bones of the game meat could be ground into powder. There were also vegetable scraps, eggshells, expired milk, and more. All these could be fed to the animals instead of being thrown away. Little by little, the four-part architecture had become a self-sustainable ecosystem.
Dragin looked at the busy Li Nianfan and said, “Brother Li, there’s no need to go to all this trouble. Just let them be.”
Li Nianfan smiled and said, “These foods will make them healthier and it doesn’t take much trouble to make them. Besides, they’ll be tastier after giving them these.”
“You’re right. Let me help you, too!” said Dragin.
“Help me grind the hippo’s bones into powder,” said Li Nianfan.
“Brother Li, Brother Li, let me help you, too!” said Nanan.
“Brother Li, I’ve come to help, too!” said Little Fox.
After four hours, they finally made three big buckets of animal feed. Although the feed looked like something someone would feed to the pigs, they were sure the game animals would find it delicious.
“All done. Go feed it to the game animals now,” said Li Nianfan to Nanan.
“Yes, Brother Li! Leave it to us.” Nanan, Dragin, and Little Fox each carried a bucket in their hand and excitedly walked out of the four-part architecture.
Outside, there were around 50 or so exotic game animals. Normally, they looked fierce and majestic but now, they looked dispirited. Their powers had been sealed up and they were lying on the ground waiting for death.
From time to time, they would exchange a few words with each other.
“Sigh, I never expected the seventh dimension to be so strange. I can’t believe they see us as game meat. This is the worst humiliation ever.”
“Yeah, my species, the jade dragon cow, is a beast of Heaven and there’s only a handful of us, making us rarer than rare. No one has ever treated us as game meat before.”
“The world has truly changed and we’re just meat on somebody’s chopping block.”
“Fate has brought us together. We should cherish each other in the coming days.”
“Yes, we’re all friends now.”
Suddenly, they heard the sound of metal clanging, making them tremble. Their heads shrank into their bodies in unison when they saw Nanan and Dragin coming over. A Pig Demon with red fangs squealed when it saw Nanan looking at it.
“My lords, I’m all skin and bones. Choose the cow instead!”
“B*llsh*t! My nickname’s smelly cow on account of how smelly my flesh is. I’m not edible at all, whereas that lion over there looks really tasty!”
“My lords, don’t listen to his nonsense. I know myself very well and my meat’s a hundred percent pure fat. Give me some time to work out and you can eat me when I’m leaner. In the meantime, eat that tiger over there.”
“Hey, don’t drag me down with you. That donkey over there’s the best. I’ve eaten his kind before.”
“Get outta here. That mink over there’s the best!”
It was only seconds ago when they called each other friends and now, they were pushing each other to the chopping block.
“Shut up! We’re not here to eat you!” said Little Fox violently.
The scary-looking game animals were scared into silence by the pretty Little Fox. They stayed close to the ground and said nothing more.
“Brother Li has prepared some food for you in exchange for your poo. Those who think they can give us the best and most poo, please, step out,” said Nanan.
‘Give us food for our poo? What do they mean? Is this a new way of humiliating us?’
Although the game animals feared death, being divine beasts, they were more afraid of having their pride stepped on the ground. They furrowed their brows anxiously.
“No way am I doing something so lowly as that. It’s disgusting!”
“We’re gonna die anyway so we must protect our last shred of dignity.”
“They’re treating us like poo-machines! I won’t disgrace my species! I’d rather die than do what they say!”
“I can’t believe they’re giving us food! Do they really think that’s where the problem lies?”
Nanan did not say anything. She simply ladled a scoop of animal feed and put it in front of the fiercest demon beast which happened to be a Golden Bear Demon. It was standing up on its two hind legs and making the most noise. It glanced at the pig feed and turned away in disgust. “What do you think you’re doing? You can force me to do anything but poo for you!”
“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Try it and you might change your mind,” said Nanan.
“You’re trying to change my mind with this?” The bear demon scoffed but agreed in the end when he sensed a threatening aura coming from Nanan. “I’ll try it. I’ll try it.”
It lowered its head and humiliatingly took one bite, preparing to spit it out the very next second. However, its pupils shrank rapidly and he became dazed as the fur on its body blossomed like a flower. A comfortable feeling washed over him.
“This…this…this is…” It was at a loss for words as it stared at the pig feed while its heart thumped rapidly against its chest. The Bear Demon could not believe that the pig feed contained the aura of Wisdom! Moreover, the feed was mixed with multiple kinds of Wisdom, perfectly fusing and intersecting with each other, forming a special bond. It was very strange indeed.
Although the Bear Demon’s power had been sealed up, it still knew a good thing when it saw it. From its birth until now, it had never seen something so precious, let alone heard of it! An unimaginable opportunity and great fortune had landed before him! Never in a million years would he expect that a great opportunity like this would come in the form of pig feed, and the purpose was to make him poop?
‘What kind of place is the seventh dimension exactly? Everyone here’s so strong that they can do whatever they want! How can pig feed be so delicious that I can’t stop eating it? It seems as if it was tailor-made for me! This has got to be the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten in my life. It’s opened up a whole new world for me!’ thought the Bear Demon.
Just when it was about to take another bite, Nanan took away the ladle and the Bear Demon fell into unbearable despair. “My Lord, our Bear Demon species has an embarrassing talent…we can really poop a lot! I can guarantee you that I’ll poop so much, this whole mountain will be covered with it as long as you give me that feed.”
All the other demon beasts were shocked by the Bear Demon’s change in attitude. ‘What happened? Is your determination really that weak? Are you going to sell your ancestor next?’
However, they were not stupid and knew that something was up with the pig feed. Out of curiosity, they each took a bite and the rest was history.
“Oh my god, never would I have expected that a mere game animal like me would be able to taste something so delicious in my life! This is some great fortune!”
“They’re so good to us! I would’ve asked my entire family to come here if I knew we’d get something like this.”
“I hope there’s more of this!”
“I can die with no regrets now.”
“Believe me when I say pooping’s my strong suit!”
“Nonsense, how much poop do you think you can produce? I’m definitely much better at pooping than you!”
“Silence! The art of pooping has been passed down from my ancestor so I’m the best at poop!”
Pandemonium broke out at the zoo as they vied for the pig feed.
“There’s not enough food to go around so if I ever find out that some of you ate it without pooping, or if you only poop a little, then it’s straight to the chopping block you go!” said Nanan.
“Don’t worry, my Lord! We’ll do our best. You’ll surely be satisfied!”
“Yes, my Lord. We’ll off the beast ourselves if we find anyone not pooping their share!”
Meanwhile, back in the fourth dimension, in the Western Region, black gas was rolling over the angel’s palace like tidal waves. Every inch of the area was covered by black gas, turning the place into a black ocean as if there was a geyser continuously producing the black gas. It was an infinite abyss with nowhere out in sight.
From a distance, it seemed as if the angel’s palace was being suspended mid-air by the black gas. The black gas became thicker and thicker and showed signs of a terrifying power awakening.
Lord Angel was standing at the topmost part of the palace, looking down at the rolling black gas with his brows furrowed and a serious expression on his face. He was completely covered by a holy light and his force was fluctuating.
Around him was a group of other angels and they were activating their own powers. A handsome angel took a deep breath and in a worried tone, he said, “Lord Angel, there seems to be something different this time. The Seal of Light’s rapidly weakening.”
Previously, they could swiftly suppress the black gas whenever the Seal of Light became weak, but this time, they had tried three times to no avail. On the contrary, the black gas seemed to get stronger after every suppression.
Lord Angel’s eyes turned dark as if wanting to pierce through the darkest part of the black gas. “How did that person’s demon energy become so strong suddenly?” he questioned in a low voice.
In the abyss was an angel that used to be the pride of the Angel Clan. However, he had now become their shame. In the past, the Angel Clan enjoyed a status higher than what they had now. They even managed to produce a genius who was many times more talented than War Angel.
However, this angel lost himself in the pursuit of absolute power and his wild ambition swelled to the point that he planned to dethrone Lord Angel. The pursuit of power turned him to the path of evil and his once pure-white angel wings turned black as he gained demonic power.
He called himself the Fallen Angel but the Angel Clan would never accept him as an angel anymore. Instead, they called him the Devil. At that time, his power had grown by such terrifying proportions that the Angel Clan could not eliminate him. They could only forever seal him under the palace. That was how the Angel Clan lost the greatest fighter they ever had.
“Summon all the upper-echelon angels and we’ll strengthen the Seal of Light,” ordered Lord Angel.
“Yes, Lord Angel!”
The next moment, thousands of angels arrived, each a level above Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. Lord Angel quickly entered the black gas with the Holy Light Sword in his hands and the thousand angels following closely behind.
Then, it was as if sunlight broke through the darkness. The pure white holy light drove away the black gas like a light source moving through the night.
“Angel’s Light, the Light Will Last Forever, deploy formation!” shouted Lord Angel, and the Holy Light sword in his hand cast out a white stream of light into the sky.
Underneath the thousand angels’ feet was the same light, connecting each other to make a six-pointed star that suppressed the black gas with a terrifying oppressive force.
However, no one noticed a dash of blood-red light streaking through the infinite black gas. In the depths of the abyss, a pair of blood-thirsty blood-red eyes were looking up at the sky. He was completely at home in the darkness and his majestic black wings seemed to have become one with the darkness.
“Lord Angel Kira, I bet you never expected that the seal’s connected to the fifth dimension. The time has come for me to seek my revenge! I’ll make sure you feel unbearable pain!” said a majestic voice filled with murderous intent.
“Kekeke, so opposite’s the fourth dimension? I can already smell something good,” said a strange being beside Fallen Angel. That being was completely made of blood vessels and was none other than the master of the Blood Clan.
Previously, when Li Nianfan released the resentful spirits from their suffering and manifested all the portals to be linked to the seventh dimension, the master of the Blood Clan did everything he could to find a portal. He never expected that he would bump into Fallen Angel after opening the portal.
Their power was about the same level and coupled with the fact that they held no grudge against each other and had the same goal, they decided to join forces to annihilate the Angel Clan.
“Are you sure your Slaughter Blood Qi can influence the Angel Clan’s Heart of Light?” asked Fallen Angel.
Blood Clan smiled and said, “Don’t worry. The Angel Clan’s busy trying to suppress your Heart of Devil. There’s no way they have time to notice the other energy. It’ll surely catch them off guard and it’d be too late for them by the time they realize they’ve been tainted with the Heart of Devil.
“Well, then. Carry on,” said Fallen Angel with a smirk. ‘I might as well annihilate them since they won’t crown me as Lord Angel. Then, I’ll build a new fallen angel clan!”
The six-pointed star continued to shine its pure holy light on the infinite black gas. Suddenly, a blood vessel pierced through the six-pointed star and sank itself into one of the angels. The angel shuddered as the black gas maniacally pumped itself into his body.
“Ugh! Ah—!” The angel’s holy brilliance was instantly annihilated, and a tyrannical aura rose. It was just within a single breath and his white wings had completely turned black!
The pupils of Lord Angel shrank rapidly as he exclaimed anxiously, “There’s something different about the black gas and there seems to be a different energy hidden in it! Fall back, everyone!”
However, it was already too late and soon the air resounded with the screams of the angels.
