King Zhou activated the invasions earlier than expected, but he only had five hours.
If they were not able to conquer the nations in five hours, the defenders would be considered the victor.
King Zhou himself would not be allowed to join the battle as well.
Smack!
King Zhou was so furious that he slammed Shi Long away in one strike.
“I already gave you almost two million worth of elites, and yet you still failed to conquer the Shifters Nation? Useless!”
Su Daji then said with a smile while giving King Zhou’s chest a playful stroke with her finger, “Do not be so angry, Your Majesty. Let us hear what Shi Long has to say.”
Shi Long glanced at Su Daji and then began to explain, “When we began to attack the Shifters Nation, it seemed that they had all made preparations and had set up plenty of arrays outside of the Shifter Emperor’s Planet. We were bound by the arrays and lost almost half of my men. When we finally made it in, we were once again bound by the arrays. When we were prepared to assault the three main cities, the Shifter Emperor made his way back. His abilities and those under him had reached a stage where I am unable to make a proper assessment!”
“Was he not lost in the Bottomless Pit? And what do you mean by unable to make a proper assessment?” When King Zhou heard Jiang Feng’s name, his expression instantly darkened.
“They all had access to the top Demesnes, and they even know a few different Demesne Skills!” Shi Long said with a serious face.
“Demesnes! Demesne Skills!” King Zhou’s expression darkened further.
The Demesnes could be learned without the assistance of other things once one had reached the power of the Greater Sacred Master.
After using it for so many years, he had only gathered 120,000 slivers of the Laws of the Ruler, and he had yet to master the Demesne of the Ruler. He had also failed to learn many of the skills related to it. He did not expect Jiang Feng and his group of lackeys to have already learned plenty of Demesne Skills without even reaching the level of a Greater Sacred Master. It made him extremely envious!
‘It is just as I thought. The Shifter Emperor entered the Bottomless Pit with an objective in mind. I suppose that the players that followed him there have all benefited from it,’ King Zhou thought to himself. ‘But I sent in my duplicate once, there was nothing there. From where did they learn about the Demesnes and Laws?”
***
Divines Nation.
After being killed by Jiang Feng, Xuanyuan Qi was feeling extremely annoyed.
When he found out that the Divines Nation was under attack, he quickly returned to the Divines Nation.
At this time, Johns already had the entire Divines Nation in his control.
When he saw Xuanyuan Qi return, he even wanted Xuanyuan Qi to give up the throne of the God King and even led a group of players from other countries to exclude him.
However, when Xuanyuan QI used a skill from the Demesne of Crush to instantly kill Johns, no one dared to resist him.
He then led them all to resist King Zhou’s army.
Many of those from the Divines faction had entered the Bottomless Pit, and a few of them had obtained Demesnes. While they had only gained some slivers of the Laws and did not learn any Demesne skills, but thanks to the buff to their stats, that had increased their power somewhat and made them into Xuanyuan Qi’s primary warriors.
But what made Xuanyuan Qi annoyed was that the Shifters Nation had become the largest nation other than the Shang Nation despite being built late, and had even gained an extra 30% completion rate.
That made him very angry.
Once the Shifters Nation had been successfully defended, the Divines Nation was already in tatters. Luckily, the five hours’ time limit was up and the Divines Nation was barely, but successfully, defended.
Next, the Infernals Nation had also been successfully defended.
At this point in time, there were five nations built by players. They were the Shifters Nation, Divines Nation, Infernals Nation, Angels Nation, and Huaxia Nation.
The Huaxia Nation was built by unaffiliated players, and all the players within were unaffiliated players. As the Huaxia Nation’s completion had not reached 50% and they had very few players, they did not become one of King Zhou’s targets.
Meanwhile, perhaps there were too few players in the Angels Nation, they had been destroyed.
That meant that not including the Huaxia Nation, there would only be four nations joining the World War in the future. They were the Shifters Nation, the Divines Nation, the Infernals Nation, and the Shang nation.
And after their successful defense, the four nations had also undergone great changes.
As the Shifter Emperor’s Planet had reached a completion rate of 80%, its surroundings had become full of life. Other than a source of water, it had become almost like a paradise on Earth.
While the other two nations did not gain any additional completion rate, their main cities that had been breached had been completely restored to their original form, and their territories had also been greatly expanded.

After the defense was successful, he let Zhuge Liang handle everything else.
He himself returned to the Shifter Emperor Palace.
Once he was back in the Shifter Emperor Palace, he then let Yu Zheqing out.
He was not sure why, but Yu Zheqing did not log in much during the month. She had logged in once, but when she noticed that Jiang Feng was merely farming monsters, she logged out after forming a party with him for a day or two.
And this was the second time she had logged in within the month.
After Yu Zheqing had been released, she pursed her lips and walked toward Jiang Feng after giving Ling Feiyu, Hei Feng, and the rest of the higher-ups of the Shifters faction a glance, and said, “Jiang Feng, can you give me that Golem? I really need it now!”
Last time, Jiang Feng promised Yu Zheqing that as long as she formed a party with him, he would give her a Golem.
When he saw the urgency in her eyes, he smiled and said, “I cannot give you the Golem!”
“Jiang Feng, you…” Yu Zheqing was about to cry. “I know, I didn’t help you much in the end. But I still helped you several times! I really need a Golem now! So please, next time if you need my help…”
“Ms. Yu, why didn’t you ask to borrow money from me when you already need money so badly?” Jiang Feng asked.
“Because I can never afford to pay it back,” Yu Zheqing said in a low voice.
“I will not give you the Golem. I will give you these purple pieces instead. Consider that as me buying it from you!” With that, Jiang Feng immediately gave Yu Zheqing 2,000pp.
These 2,000pp were not bound to his account and could be used in exchange for real money at a rate of 1:100 RMB. That meant that it was equivalent to 200,000RMB.
When she saw the 2,000pp that Jiang Feng had transferred to her, she became extremely thrilled and said to Jiang Feng, “Thank you!”
With that, she then logged out as if she was in a rush.
Ling Feiyu, who watched from the sideline, walked over to him with a soft smile, and then asked Jiang Feng, “Your teacher?”
Jiang Feng then answered, “Yes.”
Ling Feiyu continued, “She is quite pretty. Have you ever dreamed of being with her in class?”
Jiang Feng, “…”
Ling Feiyu stopped the joke and asked, “She seemed to be quite in need of money. How much did you give her?”
“2,000.”
“Such a cheapskate.”
“From what I know, she would refuse my help if I gave her too much. She is a woman with dignity.”
After Jiang Feng finished saying so, he then stopped the discussion on this topic and released Lu Bu and Diao Chan from the Lianyao Flask.
Lu Bu had already awakened in the Lianyao Flask, and his wounds had also been healed by using the pills within the Lianyao Flask.
As soon as he came out, he then caught Diao Chan’s hand, and gave Jiang Feng and his son a deep bow.
“Thank you for saving me and my Little Chan.”
Jiang Fan did not wait for Jiang Feng to say anything, and replied, “No need to thank me. Big Sister Diao Chan has taught me a lot of things when she was accompanying me.”
Jiang Feng gave Jiang Fan’s head a pat and smiled as he said to Lu Bu, “God of War Lu Bu, are you willing to be one of my Knights of Despair? If you are willing, wear this ring!”
With that, he took out one of the rings of the Twelve Knights of Despair and gave it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu glanced at the Ring of the Twelve Knights of Despair in silence, and then glanced at Diao Chan before finally shaking his head and said, “I am sorry, Shifter Emperor. Since you know me, you should know my personality. As soon as I wear that ring, I am afraid that I will hurt those that I love. I will not wear this ring, but I am willing to join the Shifters faction!”
“Of course!”
Jiang Feng did not force Lu Bu to join him and put away the Ring of the Twelve Knights of Despair as he nodded with a smile.
The God of War Lu Bu had joined him as a follower!
