Toram City, the capital of Guifang Country, was scarcely populated and was not much bigger than some of the counties in China.
Yurts were scattered around the outskirts, but the city was relatively modern. Skyscrapers could be seen throughout the city with a river running through its heart.
A few people were having a discussion inside a meeting room in the tallest building.
"Look. I told you that the Venerable One would never ignore such a thing. He would surely take back the mine for me if he noticed it, " a middle-aged man said happily.
"You are wise, master. We are fortunate we did not confront those demons. We would be doomed If they knew to attack our businesses with Guerrilla tactics, " another person said.
"This is all thanks to the Venerable One. Without him, we will not be here today. Help me send some money to Butler Zheng as my sign of appreciation to the Venerable One for helping me retrieve my mine, " Landlord Liu continued.
"Yes, landlord. I will get it done now, " A man in suit turned on his laptop and transferred the money.
While they were celebrating their victory, someone said, "Landlord, the Venerable One helped us remove those demons because he saw them from the sky. From my knowledge, many demons are as proficient working underground. The Greater Rat Clan is a good example. If they continue mining in secret..."
"Of course. I know about that. The Venerable One is a True Dragon from the Upper Realm and will never go underground unless necessary. He only lurks in the sky. We need to be careful as well and think of an absolute solution to stop the demons, " Landlord Liu stroked his chin and replied.
"That's right. Cloud Fog City is large but not as populated with only ten thousand residences here, but we need to protect four million square kilometers of wilderness, one million square kilometers of grassland, and the newly-rented desert in Australia... The Venerable One is constantly checking on all the humans, but those demons are starting to get rowdy. We will suffer great losses if they continue to steal and mine without resistance, " someone else said.
The Cloud Fog City managed to use its culture and piggybacked onto the Venerable Dragon God which greatly increased their deterrence level. They now controlled the North and West region of China with only ten thousand men and acted as the buffer zone between China and Russia.
However, the demons would not accept that.
The place had been dry and was originally suffering from a drought. Without water, nothing much could be done, and no one would stay nearby. Industries were lacking behind as they relied on water much more than anyone else.
However, when the new era arrived, living organisms grew stronger, including plants. Many plants that were resistant to winter and heat also improved their durability and retained water at greater efficiency.
Plus, there were many formations that could manipulate the weather of the area, and thus, drought was no longer the barrier of development.
The huge land was now filled with rich resources with great potential.
As the looming doom crept closer, the sea level started increasing every day. Many cities that were built by the seaside fell into panic mode. Property prices started dropping and many people lost their investment. Luckily, the government had gotten involved and managed to maintain peace.
Many investors and developers started shifting their focus and submitted their proposal to Cloud Fog City.
The place was situated at a high altitude and in the center of Eurasia. If Father Heaven was to flood the place as well, then everyone would have to start residing on the Tibetan Plateau.
Everyone there knew what was happening. They knew that others were eyeing their precious land and they had no time to relax.
How can they solve this problem though? Through foreign aid.
"If so, how about we organize a Demon Suppressing Ceremony and invite the Venerable One as our guest so that he can demonstrate his deterrence again?" Someone suggested.
"Good idea. We need to have such a ceremony. What is God thinking giving these creatures the intelligence we have. How are we supposed to protect our resources when they could strategize against us? This is ten million square kilometers of land that we need to look after!" Landlord Liu started complaining.
As the Divine Gate opened, the release of the Divine List and the start of the Stairway to Heaven, every clan on earth was forced to realize that they would not achieve anything if they didn't work together among themselves. At least, they knew that they failed in the competition without unity.
The Heavenly Axiom was openly bringing in competitors against the humans.
...
Inside Vigilante A's farm villa in Qi City.
Fang Ning was cultivating in his dream again. He realized that so long as he was strong, he could bullshit his way like how he did with Bai Shixin.
Suddenly, Sir System was calling him... his body double.
"Bro, Cloud Fog City transferred some money with a special request. They are going to have a Demon Suppression Ceremony in three days. Are we going?"
"Of course, we are. Cloud Fog City has been one of our loyal ally from the first day and approved by your system, Brother Sys, " Fang Ning replied.
"Ai, whatever. Call me anything you want. The lazy... Richman Host already found out, " Sir System was helpless, "Should we prepare anything?"
"Yes, we should. Since it's a ceremony, we need to make it look grand. Let's see who I can bring along, " Fang Ning started thinking.
"There are a few. The great green insect, Sky Eagle, the black and yellow dogs. However, we need to make black dog a Lake-level powerhouse so that we have four by our side. We can form the Bodhi Formation with the party including myself. We can even handle any Inland-Sea level powerhouses with the help of the Heavenly Axiom."
"Wait, I remember yellow dog managed to reach Lake-level thanks to the wishing lamp. A few months have passed since then. Has the Truth Department gathered enough materials for the wishing lamp again? Besides, we need to ask Long San for some ambergris as well."
Fang Ning was always meticulous when it came to the power level of his followers. He could be lazier if they were stronger...
These followers was his backbone that was approved by the System.
Vigilante A flew away after finishing the discussion.
...
Finding honey wax in the Land of Heritage and Long San in Truth Department;
Calling the wishing lamp in System Space and finding black dog in grassland.
...
Brett the black dog was lying on a patch of dried grass and looked at the wishing lamp.
Vigilante A was pouring a white liquid into the lamp.
Opposite black dog laid Xue Ba the yellow dog.
The yellow dog looked at Brett with a jealous look. He was jealous that Brett got his second wish in such a short time, 'Master really prefers a stupid dog. '
"Brett, from now on you will become a Lake-level dog. You need to learn to keep your posture at all times as you now reflect our master when you are out. Don't chew down your food and stop drooling when you see beautiful dogs, " Xue Ba lectured Brett.
"Relax man, I know. I won't screw up like I did last time, " Brett replied with confidence.
The yellow dog was constantly showing off for the past half year ever since he became a Lake-level powerhouse. He also felt that he managed to find his other half earlier than he did was because he was a Lake-level dog.
