Not a Catastrophic Start, but No Start at All!

Things are completely out of control right now...

Elder He even brought out ancient classics... and was flipping through them with the Great Sage...

Because this is obviously wrong!

Although I, Old He, only knew a little about the affairs of the Spirit Beast Continent before, I've recently learned some things from the Great Sage...

I, Old He, have learned a lot about everything related to the era of the Spirit Beast Wars...

Therefore, when it was determined that this Ancient Divine Domain was an era of spirit beasts vying for supremacy, Elder He's first reaction was that no matter which side Xinghe chose, it could only be considered relatively fair at best.

After all, the Spirit Race have a better understanding of the history of that era, and knowing many things in advance gives them an advantage.

Once the two sides were decided... Elder He wasn't too worried. After Elder He had confidence in Xinghe. Although the other side knew history, we knew Xinghe even better!

But what happened soon left Elder He completely bewildered...

What the hell is the point of choosing the Beast Race and immediately giving them a secret technique at the start?

According to records of this era, shouldn't the Beast Race have gradually learned Beast Race secret arts... while the Spirit Race also sought out resources and treasures through various methods...?

But what the hell is this, starting with the Orcs' Arcane Beast Race maxed out?

However, Elder He didn't panic. Since the Beast Race had been given maximum resources at the start, then according to the usual pattern, the Spirit Race Clan would definitely have maximum resources and treasures at the start as well...

Everyone is still on the same starting line.

But just when everyone was thinking that... resources and treasures appeared on the Beast Race side...

Wait... can anyone explain whether this faction war is a joke or not...?

You call this a fair faction battle? Forget about fairness... If you didn't target us this round, you'd be incredibly merciful, okay?

Beast Race faction arcane magic maxed out... resources maxed out... even the gear maxed out?!

Come on, come on... you people from the Spirit Beast Continent, come out and tell me, which part of your Spirit Beast Continent's history does this belong to?

If the Beast Race had had such conditions in history, Beast Race would have wiped out your Spirit Race eight hundred times over!

Stunned... Everyone in the Spirit Race was stunned... Wait... the enemy is giving out arcane techniques, resources, and treasures all at once... What about us?

Wait, did you forget there are two factions? Our faction should also receive starting resources and treasures...

We have nothing now, what ghosts?

Are they giving it to us one side at a time? Will they be giving even more from our side soon?

Just as the Spirit Race camp was guessing this was indeed the case, a beam of light descended from the sky... followed by a secret treasure shaped like an axe... which landed with a thud at Chu Xinghe's feet...

Seeing the treasure suddenly appear, everyone exclaimed in surprise, "It's here! It's here! Our resources have arrived!"

But after the axe fell... the scene fell silent...

That's it?

Everyone looked up at the sky... Besides this axe... it seemed... that was it?

Let alone everyone else, Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded at this moment...

I've seen people targeted before, but isn't this blatant targeting a bit too much?

This isn't even a disastrous start... this isn't even a proper start!

The opposing team has maxed out all their secret techniques... and their resources and treasures are all maxed out too... and we got an axe?! What the hell is this an axe?! What a hammer!!

But there was no time for further thought; everything was already decided. After all the resources were allocated, both sides were immediately sent to their respective factions. This unprecedented and absurd factional war... had begun...

Standing in the void, the Beast God looked at Chu Xinghe, who was sent into the camp with a bewildered expression, and thought to himself, "Heaven has eyes!"

No! This time, Beast God is God himself! I am the one and only True God controlling this faction war!

Chu Xinghe... you're so arrogant... keep jumping!

Aren't you Ruins Reaper?

Tell me how you're going to get the kill this round? What the hell can you do besides wait to be killed?

What the hell? You're saying that what I, the Beast God, did was a bit too targeted?

Let me tell you, if it weren't for the rules here that forbid the Spirit Race from giving away not a single treasure, I wouldn't even give them that axe.

This time, my Beast God maxed out all the enemy's resources, secret techniques, and treasures... How am I supposed to lose this game?

And even the axe he chose was specially picked out for Chu Xinghe by his father...

The axe is called Mountain-Splitting Axe, and it is indeed powerful, but Mountain-Splitting Axe has a fatal weakness: it only has the power of a single strike. After that strike, it will enter a long period of energy gathering, making it impossible to sustain combat for any length of time.

Tell me, how is that Little Wang Chu Xinghe going to turn the tables with a weapon that can only be used once?

This is my Beast God Incarnation Heavenly Dao, tell me how I can lose!

After being tricked by you, Chu Xinghe, so many times, this time I've finally found a chance to make you drink my Chu Xinghe bath water.

Want some secret techniques? You're kidding me... You guys are going to get completely crushed by the enemy team from the moment you come in!

The Spirit Race faction stood there, everyone looking completely bewildered.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... I feel like we're being targeted..." Ma Liang's eyes were brimming with tears...

"It's not just a feeling... it's definitely being targeted..." Zheng Yu also looked bewildered.

"Wasn't this supposed to be a fair fight? Does the Ancient Divine Domain call this fair?"

"What the hell is the point of fighting? Let's just surrender..."

"My Qiankun Ring has been sealed by the Spirit Locking Formation... I can no longer use any of my secret treasures..."

"Holy crap... my secret treasure, which was outside, was also sealed away... and I can't use it anymore..."

The scene is in complete chaos right now. Nobody expected such a disastrous start to the game; it's completely hopeless...

Right now, everyone's treasures are Spirit Locking Formation, resources are inaccessible, and even their own secret treasures are unusable...

This looks like a dead end!

Just as everyone was looking on in bewilderment, thinking how incredibly fair this was, a flash of white light appeared.

The next moment, divine swords flew out from Chu Xinghe's arm...

Everyone: "???"

When everyone turned to look, they saw Chu Xinghe also looking around awkwardly...

That's right, his Qiankun Ring and other secret treasures were also sealed... Chu Xinghe realized that he had nothing left to offer...

However, when he tried to activate the Haotian Sword Casket...

The Haotian Sword Casket ignored all seals and flew out directly... The Spirit Locking Formation could not contain the power of the Haotian Sword Casket!

Upon seeing the Haotian Sword Casket that had suddenly appeared, the Vast Heaven Sect disciples around were momentarily excited... but only for a moment.

While Senior Brother Xinghe's Haotian Sword Casket is powerful, the problem is... this isn't a one-on-one duel... and this isn't a regular brawl, this is a faction war...

Even if Senior Brother Xinghe is incredibly strong, he couldn't possibly single-handedly wipe out five thousand people with the Haotian Sword Casket... And not only five thousand, but there were other Beast Race in the opposing camp too... One person single-handedly wiping out the entire Spirit Beast Wars era... That's simply unrealistic...

Facing the unsealed Haotian Sword Casket, the Beast God gritted his teeth in the sky...

The Beast God immediately attempted to seal the Haotian Sword Casket with the Power of the Heavenly Dao upon seeing Haotian Sword Casket, but the result was... nothing.

The Power of the Heavenly Dao cannot seal the Haotian Sword Casket!

The Beast God wondered just what level this Haotian Sword Casket was. But that didn't matter anymore... because Chu Xinghe couldn't possibly conquer an entire era with just a Haotian Sword Casket, could he?

I, Chu Xinghe, Beast God created a disastrous start for you, and you tell me, what makes you think you can win?

Chu Xinghe had no idea what the Beast God was thinking... but looking at the situation right now, Chu Xinghe was genuinely teary-eyed and adorable...

Chu Xinghe said he had never experienced anything like this before...

This situation must have left not only everyone else bewildered, but also luck and misfortune themselves...

He had been worried that he might make a killing in the faction war... but now Chu Xinghe was completely relieved...

We still made a killing! If we could have even survived the first wave... we would have done our best with luck and misfortune, okay?

I, Chu Xinghe, was previously thinking about how to avoid resources... but now I don't need to worry about that at all... Resources, my foot! After this first wave, we were all sent out of the Ancient Divine Domain... What resources are left?

After all, no one has ever encountered such an outrageous situation before!

This is like a game where the enemy team starts with top-tier gear and fully equipped, while our team... not only did we not get level 1... we didn't even get any starting gold... they also destroyed our turrets... they didn't even give us a fountain... and then guess what... hey... our base was right in front of their fountain... tell me how we're supposed to win this game...

Chu Xinghe had never encountered such a stable match before... Nobody is going to let us get even a single resource this time...

Chu Xinghe didn't know if others were desperate, but he did know that there were 365 sunrises a year! The Ancient Divine Domain had given him 365 blessings!

This game in the Ancient Divine Domain is a complete disaster... This game is a total loss! All the resources and treasures are from the Spirit Beast Continent, this game is going to be a disaster for Chu Xinghe!

What?! You're saying our junior brothers won't be able to learn the secret technique either?! Please don't panic, junior brothers. It's just a secret technique, right? If we learn it in the Spirit Beast Continent, it's the same as us learning it. Once we get out, Senior Brother Xinghe will shower the Spirit Beast Continent with resources. Really... does anyone really think the Spirit Beast Continent won't sell us the secret technique they obtained?

If so, it means our offer wasn't high enough... and the more aggressively they refuse, the more aggressively I, Chu Xinghe, will raise the price; the higher they ask, the more excited I, Chu Xinghe, will become! So, this secret technique is a must-buy! But with this loss, I, Chu Xinghe, am truly about to take off!

After a long silence of ten minutes, someone finally spoke.

"Senior Brother Xinghe... could the key to breaking this deadlock lie in this axe?" Zheng Yu picked up the axe from the ground and examined it closely for a long time... Zheng Yu could feel the immense power contained within this axe named Mountain-Splitting Axe...

The problem is... this power is indeed formidable... but it's not powerful enough to annihilate countless ages in a single strike, is it...?

Zheng Yu stared speechlessly at the axe... Clearly... this axe had absolutely nothing to do with breaking the deadlock...

Then came another five minutes of silence...

Everyone silently passed the Mountain-Splitting Axe around... but in the end... there was no result...

Everyone's had a disastrous start before... but a start this disastrous...

Every single one of them there had never encountered anything like it before.

Just as everyone was debating whether to surrender, a voice reached their ears.

"It seems our innate abilities are still intact... Look, we Shadow Rat Clan can even pull out the clones that were previously hidden within our main body..."

As Shu Da spoke, he activated his Shadow Clone. But the moment Shu Da activated his Shadow Clone Technique, everyone who was about to surrender stared wide-eyed at the clone Shu Da. At that moment, all eyes were fixed on the hand of Shu Da's Shadow Clone...

That's another one... Mountain-Splitting Axe...
