Di Tian: Wait, You Didn't Say the Sacrifice Would Be This Great!

"However, you still need to wait a little longer."

"Wait? What now? Three soul beasts can be bred every day. We've already wasted a month—I don't want to wait any longer."

Di Tian immediately refused, but Lin Chen merely smiled.

"This is a necessary preliminary preparation. Wait for me. I'll be back soon."

With that, Lin Chen stepped through the portal and returned to Douluo Continent.

Looking around, he felt it was still a little too careless. Another layer of defense should be added here, sealing this portal up tightly.

He activated his communication device. This was a device he had made himself, and only trusted insiders could use it. No one else could intercept its communications.

On Douluo Continent, one had to be cautious in everything. Leaving aside those two incredibly underhanded gods, many factions on Douluo Continent were just as devious, especially the Tang Sect.

They had built an enormous underground communications network to monitor the entire Douluo Continent. What a damn motherless organization.

Moreover, intelligence was what every faction competed over now. There was no guarantee they would not install backdoors in the Soul Tool communicators they sold, so Lin Chen never bought those things.

He was an engineering nerd himself. This world had many materials that could replace materials from his previous life—materials modern technology could not produce, but which could barely serve as substitutes—allowing him to create some of the exquisite technological products from his former world.

Following Lin Chen's orders, an underground train soon arrived from afar.

More than a hundred people wearing matching uniforms stepped off the train. They carried nothing extra, only storage Soul Tools in each of their hands. Their cultivation levels were generally in the teens—not particularly high or low. They were slightly more expensive, but still within an acceptable range.

After everyone came before Lin Chen, they respectfully saluted him. Their eyes were filled with heartfelt gratitude toward him.

That was because Lin Chen had not merely bought this group of people. He had also bought their families and housed them within the group.

Although the contract's restraints made it impossible for these people to rebel against him, Lin Chen still hoped they would work for him with a positive attitude. That would make them more efficient, and make things much easier for him as well.

He was not raising dead warriors. They had been slaves to begin with, and a mere thought from him could end their lives.

If he had to find a reason, perhaps it was because the socialist core values he had absorbed over the past twenty years would not allow him to do such a thing. He had zero tolerance for slavery.

Ten thousand years ago, the Heaven Dou Empire had been destroyed by the Sun Moon Empire. Some of its survivors fled to another continent and began colonizing it, treating the continent's natives as slaves. From that alone, the Heaven Dou Empire was not worth sympathizing with. It was good that it had been destroyed.

This was already the era of the Federation, yet they were still playing at slavery. It was utterly laughable.

But this was also the Heaven Dou Imperial House's only choice. After all, they had too few people and could not pursue integration. As invaders, with insufficient numbers of their own, they had no way to rule so many people other than enslavement and slaughter.

Lin Chen knew this routine all too well. He had studied history, after all. The Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty had both done the same.

Once he could say, I don't eat beef anymore, Heaven Dou Continent would be the first place he took aim at.

Lin Chen was using money to buy loyalty. These people were utterly devoted to him, so he could safely leave the matter of raising soul beasts in their hands.

But this small number of people was clearly not enough. In the future, he would still need to continuously purchase slaves. Raising soul beasts required people above all else. Without anyone to do the work, nothing could move forward.

Lin Chen looked at them, at their expectant faces, and a heroic ambition inevitably appeared on his face.

"When I bought you and housed you underground, I told you what I intended to do in the future.

"Now, that day has finally come.

"You are all my slaves, so I have no need to promise you anything. But my promise still stands. Once this breeding industry that will overturn the entire world develops, once I raise an endless army of soul beasts, I will conveniently help you wipe out all the Heaven Dou Federation nobles who have enslaved you and let you reclaim your homeland."

Selling dreams was an essential skill for a boss. You had to cater to your employees' wishes and paint them the dream they wanted to see. Even if he would not help them realize it, the dream still had to be painted big and round.

For these slaves, what they wanted most was to drive out those people from the Heaven Dou Federation. They were foreign colonizers who had enslaved them for ten thousand years. This was a blood feud spanning ten millennia, truly carved into their bones.

"We will obey all of Master's orders!" everyone shouted in unison, as though they had been pumped full of adrenaline.

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Come with me."

With that, he stepped into the small world.

The group of several hundred people followed behind him one by one, entering this independent small world.

When they saw Di Tian, Bear Lord, Myriad Demon King, and Scarlet King—three men and one dragon—and sensed the terrifying aura emanating from them, their legs began trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing so many humans with such weak auras, Bear Lord immediately snorted. "Why bring so much trash in here?

"They aren't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!"

Bear Lord's words terrified all the slaves, and they hurriedly looked toward Lin Chen.

With his arms crossed over his chest, Lin Chen coldly swept Bear Lord a glance. "If I don't bring people in, are you going to raise them?

"And Bear Lord, don't get any ideas about them. If I find even one person missing, you'll be lined up behind Scarlet King. This is a warning."

"You dare threaten me?" When had Bear Lord ever suffered such indignity?

Especially when the one provoking him was only a child a few years old.

But just then, the Beast God Di Tian suddenly appeared before him. "Feeling itchy, are you?

"If you're dissatisfied, I don't mind returning to my true form and fighting you. Want to have a taste of my Black Dragon Claw?"

As soon as Di Tian finished speaking, Bear Lord merely snorted and no longer dared to show any temper.

Was he supposed to fight Di Tian? Was that a joke?

Lin Chen, meanwhile, was very satisfied with Di Tian. As expected of the Beast God, he had Bear Lord completely under control.

With the crisis resolved, everyone began working efficiently according to Lin Chen's orders.

With the help of these three great beast kings, a massive soul beast breeding shed rose from the ground in just a few short hours.

Then, under Di Tian's shocked gaze, one sow after another was released from Soul Tools capable of storing living creatures and placed into their respective pigsties.

The Beast God Di Tian's yellow face instantly turned red. He stared at Lin Chen in astonishment.

"Don't tell me you want me to breed with pigs?"

A sly look appeared in Lin Chen's eyes. "Didn't you see it already?

"Why ask?

"You're breeding with pigs!"
