After Chu Zixuan left, Du Gang reflected for a while before turning his attention to the system within his mind.

[Do you want to spend ten thousand Source Energy to upgrade to Ancient God

Second Rank?]

“Yes!”

Next, Du Gang felt everything going black in front of him, and he fainted all at once.

[Upgrading…]

[Infusing Ancient God’s true blood…] [Fusing Ancient God’s true blood…]

L yurgmg Impurities… J

When he woke up again, it was already dark.

[Du Gang]

[Second Rank Ancient God]

[Battle Level: 11 meters]

[The power of an Ancient God grows with the increase in size…]

[As a Second Rank Ancient God, each meter of growth requires ten thousand Source Energy]

After acquiring this knowledge, Du Gang realized that the system had automatically upgraded and simplified during the evolution process.

There were no other incoherent things, only Battle Level, which represented his size after transformation. He could enhance it anytime by absorbing Source Energy.

“So, I need another 890,000 Source Energy to smoothly promote to the Third Rank?”

Ten thousand Source Energy per meter!

Du Gang was secretly amazed. Originally, he had planned to choose a skill after upgrading to Second Rank. However, after the system upgrade, he couldn’t purchase skills even if he had the money!

“Never mind, it’s gone now. This is good too, makes calculation easier!”

He glanced at the remaining 16,802 Source Energy. Without hesitation, he directly added another ten thousand Source Energy.

Immediately, the number behind his Battle Level became 12 meters, which meant that his size after transformation had once again increased.

As the afterglow of the sunset gradually disappeared, the people active in Luo An City returned to their residences.

An air-raid shelter was jam-packed with a hundred thousand people. To reassure these people, Wang Dezhen arranged for several powerful Superpowered individuals to guard the entrance.

The remaining two hundred thousand people were all gathered in a temporary base formed by merging three and a half neighborhoods.

It was fine during the day when people could move about freely, but at night it got quite crowded, with each house accommodating more than a dozen people. Army had set up temporary dwellings on spaces that were once greenbelts, and these were also packed with people.

On the outermost periphery of this temporary base, almost at the outskirts of the area covered by the Dawn Stone, the army had set up its camps.

Wang Dezhen was still in his previous command vehicle, but this time there were a few more people inside.

In addition to his deputy and two military strategists, there were the National Master, Zhuge Shui, and several leaders from Luo An City’s government.

At that moment, all of them, with worried expressions, were silently staring at a map set out on the table in front of them.

“Let’s discuss it again; this decision will determine our future direction!” In the end, it was Wang Dezhen who broke the deadlock, speaking first. Upon hearing this, Li Yi was the first to respond, “My suggestion is still to take a detour…”

“You aren’t locals here, so you don’t understand our terrain. To the north of Luo An City, there is not only a zoo but also a wildlife preserve. Although there aren’t many fierce beasts, it covers a large area and is now the territory of animals such as tigers and lions…”

This wildlife preserve initially inhabited small animals like leopards, golden cats, and small spiritual cats.

But before the apocalypse arrived, nobody knows who had opened all the gates of the zoo in the Northern City, resulting in the release of all the beasts like tigers, lions, and leopards.

Now, that single northeast tiger has grown to a height of thirty meters and a length of over a hundred meters.

The evolutionary rate of animals is clearly faster than that of humans. As long as they eat meat, they can continuously grow.

“We can’t detour!”

This time, one of the strategists spoke, “This wildlife reserve is just too extensive. If we take a detour, it will take us at least half a month to reach Honeymoon City. And this is an optimistic estimation. If we encounter sudden incidents like a broken bridge, the time will be further delayed…

Honeymoon City is about four hundred kilometers north of Luo An City and is no longer part of Nanyuan province.

It is called Honeymoon City because it is a semi-water city, nestled between mountains and rivers. The environment is particularly beautiful, with inns all around. Newlyweds like to go there to spend their honeymoon.

“How will we proceed if we don’t detour? That giant tiger, you’ve seen it too. The fighter jet flying at a height of a thousand meters didn’t even have a chance to react before it was knocked out. This is simply outrageous…”

Li Yi, who had seen the tiger’s might first-hand, believed that there was no stronger creature on this Earth than that tiger now.

He was convinced that even if the dinosaurs from the Jurassic period were to fight against this tiger, they would have to kneel!

The strategist shook his head, “No. The reason the fighter jet was taken down was because it had entered the tiger’s territory and was considered an invader…”

“Actually, have you ever considered, now that the tiger has grown so large, in its eyes, aren’t we humans just like ants?”

“I believe that even if you were lying in front of it, it wouldn’t care to eat you!”

Li Yi quickly retorted, “Even if in its eyes, one person is like an ant, we are talking about three hundred thousand people here. With so many people passing through its territory, even if it randomly steps on us a few times, humans won’t be able to withstand it!”

“Then let’s kill it!”

The strategist, with a murderous look on his face, continued, “There will be major changes in a month, and if we can’t reach Meimu Mountain in Shuchuan by then, who knows whether we might be stuck on the way. Don’t tell me that with all these weapons and Superpowered individuals, we can’t kill a single tiger?”

“Right!”

The other strategist, who had remained silent until then, took over, “We have the Diamond King, we have the War God Du Gang. I think we should send Superpowered individuals to hunt the tiger!”

“The tiger is thirty meters tall and over a hundred meters long, brother. Do you bear a grudge against the Diamond King, or do you want the War God to surrender his life?”

Li Yi mocked, “Tell me how a five-meter man and a ten-meter man are going to take on the Tigee King? They would just be offering food to it. Speaking of which, that tiger must be weary of eating insects in the forest…” Wang Dezhen observed the escalating conflict between the two groups and quickly intervened.

“Let’s do this, let’s hear what Master Zhuge Shui has to say!”

Zhuge Shui, after listening for a while and considering some issues, responded when addressed, “What we face now are two options – cross the forest, or take a detour…’

“My suggestion is to first devise some plans, to see whether we can safely and effectively cross this forest. If that’s not possible, we will have no choice but to make a detour!”

Zhuge Shui’s idea was in line with what Wang Dezhen had in mind. Before anyone else could speak, he smacked the table with decision, “Alright, let’s do as Mr. Zhuge suggests.. We will first come up with several plans to try to handle that tiger!”
