Lord of the Truth

Chapter 867: Race Upgrading



"The beast that turned the southern half of the planet into a block of ice is nearby?!" Old Gu's eyes widened, "If he had this much power hundreds of thousands of years ago, how strong is he now?!"

"Hehe, you are overreacting Grandpa, Devos the Transcendent is indeed powerful, but not to the extent that you're talking about, It's a beast not a god. The level of a Beast King is related to the level of the strongest person on the planet. That means that when he froze the southern half of the planet, he was still in the Sagehoos Realm or even below." Sandria put her hand over her mouth and laughed. Old Gu was someone who was easy to talk to.

"A beast in the Sagehood Realm was able to pull off something like that? That can't be right," Old Gu let out a small laugh, "I kill those for sport!"

"It's not about his energy level but the law he's using," Sandria shook her head, "Devos the Transcendent is using a merged law consisting of the Minor Frost Law and the Minor Permanence Law."

"Permanence? That's..." Old Gu frowned slightly. He had never heard of such a law before.

"It's a law from the Time path that keeps things the same no matter how much time passes," Sandria waved, "Can you imagine how powerful and majestic that is? The Minor Frost Law to freeze anything, and the Permanence Law to keep things in a state of ice for very long periods. Devos the Transcendent just walked across the southern half of the planet and everything he touched turned into eternal ice, an entire ecosystem changed with a walk!!!"

"...Wow." The old man settled back down, "I don't know about his combat power, but that power is really enough to change the weather of entire planets with ease, when you said the planet spirit gave it her all you weren't exaggerating huh."

"Hehe," Sandria nodded and then shook her head helplessly, "The merged laws are always overpowered, only the Beast Kings can control something like that, but yeah, the planet spirit undoubtedly intervened when it came to Devos the Transcendent, it's the only explanation for how perfect he is for the situation!"

Old Gu sent a sideways glance at the girl when he heard those words, he wanted to tell her about Caesar and Richard but held himself back...

"Oh, I asked you about your relationship with your overlord, I think the conversation took us to a different path..." Old Gu tried to get back to the important topic for him

"No, we are on the right track of the story, you should have known about Devos the Transcendent and our relationship with him before we could move on to the second part," Sandria smiled gently, and then a complicated look appeared on her face, "A thousand years ago on a random day, the Supreme Lord appeared above the pilgrims' village during a veneration ceremony, he was a featureless black and white shadow, but he had an imposing and overwhelming aura that terrified everyone, but he quickly reassured them that he meant no harm, and that he was very pleased with what they were doing!"

Old Gu raised his eyebrows slightly, it was strange that an entity like the Supreme Lord would be pleased with such a pagan ceremony if only it were something. "On the same day, the shadow communicated with Devos the Transcendent about something, and then he came back and personally communicated with the most powerful person in the village at the time, my father." Sandria was silent for a moment before continuing, "The Overlord told him back then that he loved foxes, and loved those who loved foxes, then gave him a way to build a space portal and gave him coordinates, and told him to come to him to give him a gift."

"A gift? That sounds..." Before Old Man Gu could continue, Sandria interrupted, "It sounds like a trap, right? No one gives away anything for free, especially black and white dudes coming from the sky! Anyway, my father brought it up to the rest of the tribe leaders and they all decided to give it a try. They said what the worst that could happen! They had nothing to lose, this *world* that was burning in the north and freezing in the south gave them no reason to protect it, even if they died abroad at least they would see something new."

Then she continued, "My father and the rest of the tribe leaders started searching for the necessary resources, and after gathering them, they came here next to Devos the Transcendent's liar and started building the space portal. It took them more than fifty years to gather and build, and then my father and two others set off to those coordinates." She then sighed, "There, the three of them were taken to prison by the space portal guards on the other side for several years, during which they heard everything they knew about the Middle Planetary Belt, the Overlords, the proxy wars in the Young Planetary Belt, and all that stuff~" "Eventually, the Overlord accidentally heard about their imprisonment and went to get them out, he personally gave them a strange-looking device and a booklet, and then told them to go back to where they came from and strengthen themselves to take better care of the three- tailed fox... This was our first visit to the Overlord's place, out of two visits."

"Only two visits?" Old Man Gu was very surprised.

According to what they heard from the interrogation of the prisoners and his questions to the pilots of the spaceship, the Supreme Lord of the Great Serpent Empire did not see them often, but he definitely saw them more than once every thousand years!

The generals and marshals of the Great Snake Empire also went to the planets under that overlord constantly to fight wars at the level of the middle planetary belt, which expanded their horizons and gave them the momentum of a true planetary empire.

Only now did they understand why Sandria said that their relationship with their overlord was different...

Sandria nodded slowly, "My father and the other two returned burdened with the knowledge they had acquired over the years in prison, not knowing whether to continue to worship Devos the transcendent or prepare to fight him, and not knowing whether what the overlord had told them was a choice or an order."

"But first, the three of them opened the booklet and read what was in it... It was an explanation of a device called; the middle-class Epic Equipment: Race Upgrading Device. The explanation was very brief, talking about how the device needed the blood of a strong beast to function properly. Of course, it was talking about the device they had received with the booklet, and at the end of the booklet was a brief explanation of the Minor Frost Heavenlyn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Law."

Then Sandria raised her hand and looked at her claws for a long time, "Curiosity, fear, excitement and a mixture of emotions made it impossible to throw the device and the booklet aside, so that same day, the race upgrading process began..."
