After Using Cheats, I Became The Strongest Beast Tamer-Chapter 517 - 374: Depths of the Dark Realm

Chapter 517: Chapter 374: Depths of the Dark Realm

“Lord Ronnie, we’ve lost the signal on the other side of the sea island’s throat,” someone said in a measured voice.

“How many days?”

“It’s been over 8 hours since the shift change, and we’ve sent out new throat, but signals were lost after their departure too. Based on our estimates, there’s a high likelihood that enemies are lying in wait on the other side of the space passage,” the person in charge of communication said calmly.

“So soon?” Ronnie sighed. “To be discovered in just one year.”

They had deployed six Transcendent senior Beast Tamers to take turns guarding the other side of the space passage.

Each person was on duty for 8 hours, changing shifts every two days.

Even if one was at the peak of Transcendence, as long as they intended to escape and had made preparations in advance, it was impossible for a high-ranking Transcendent Beast Tamer to lose signal so silently without any message.

Only when facing Ascension might they be completely left behind without a trace.

“This is troublesome,” Ronnie said with a grave expression. Upon learning that the other side of the passage was the Calamity Dragon Sea, the higher-ups of the Sunset Empire who were in the know had fallen into a panic.

Although the Ascended couldn’t enter Blue Star for the time being, judging by the current trend,

it was only a matter of time before the Ascended from the Exotic Region could enter Blue Star.

There were absolutely more than a dozen Ascended within the Calamity Dragon Sea. If the passage was discovered by the Ascended on the other side, it would be a disaster.

Furthermore, the homeland as the first line of defense beyond the passage was a result the Sunset Empire could not bear.

Because their national territory was not large,

a slightly larger battle would be enough to destroy their homeland.

“You may go back now.” After watching the intelligence officer from the military depart, Ronnie put on his coat, took advantage of the night, and headed for Chen Xing’s residence, “Ascended Chen, the space passage might have been discovered by the Ascended from the Calamity Dragon Sea side. However, we have not yet ascertained which species the Ascended who discovered the passage belongs to.”

“I’ll ask around,” Chen Xing pondered. All the old silver dragons were from the Giant Dragon Clan; surely they must have their own channels of communication within the clan.

This matter concerned not just the Sunset Empire but also Blue Star.

After all, if the Ascended from the Calamity Dragon Sea’s Dragon Clan were to descend upon Blue Star, given the Dragon Clan’s greedy nature, the Sunset Empire alone would hardly satisfy their avaricious hearts.

Chen Xing posed a critical question, “When might the passage between Blue Star and the Exotic Region be able to accommodate the Ascended?”

“The exact time is unclear, but according to the estimates guessed by scholars, it is probably within 5-10 years. Because two hundred years ago, the passage could already accommodate Transcendent peak Beast Tamers.

The pace at which the space passage is lifting its restrictions is accelerating, and we suspect it may be related to the state of revival in the Exotic Region. Moreover, we cannot be sure… to what extent the Ascended who can enter will spread,” Ronnie explained.

Five to ten years, huh?

Chen Xing felt a sense of urgency.

Once the passage freely allows Ascended to come and go, it’s likely that more than just the forces from the Calamity Dragon Sea will be interested in entering Blue Star.

It’s possible that many forces from the Exotic Region might wish to take a look at Blue Star.

By then, allies may not be reliable, and the only ones to truly depend on would be Blue Star’s own people.

Chen Xing nodded, “I will help you inquire. Blue Star is the homeland of all of us; we will not stand by idly.”

Ronnie nodded, then hesitated before saying, “By the way, Ascended Chen, would you be interested in taking up citizenship in the Sunset Empire?”

“Although our Sunset Empire doesn’t have as many Ascended as Xia Country does, if you’re willing to join us, we could allocate you a portion of the legendary propaganda share from the White Elephant. The followers over at White Elephant are of the highest quality.”

“A share of legendary propaganda?” Chen Xing was startled. Was that something that could be traded?

But he quickly understood,

In today’s information age, while many countries’ online information appeared to be public, countless unseen powerful hands still lurked behind the internet.

If the state machinery really got serious about promoting a piece of news, it probably wouldn’t be very difficult.

In recent years, White Elephant had become a colony of the Sunset Empire.

Although the reins around their neck had been thrown off, many of the high-level officials still had unclear ties with the Sunset Empire.

As another ancient civilization on Blue Star, White Elephant’s population of over two billion was comparable to that of Great Xia.

And owing to the caste system, the vast majority of White Elephant’s lower classes had almost no access to education, and ignorance combined with faith were always two elements capable of sparking a reaction.

In a certain sense, White Elephant’s vast population indeed made for fertile ground for the spread of legends…

Moreover, Chen Xing remembered that, as of now, there wasn’t a single Ascended in White Elephant.

The only Ascended stationed in the country had been borrowed from the Sunset Empire.

Ronnie continued, “The path to becoming legendary requires widespread dissemination of stories, and according to the intelligence we have, an individual’s recognition of a legend has a threshold in a given period of time. Therefore, the number of legends being propagated at the same time should not be excessive, or it would reduce the efficacy of the legends.”

“Now, the news about Ascended on the internet is all censored, especially the information about the path to becoming legendary which is strictly controlled and blocked. But once the passage is fully open, even if it’s just to spread their legends, those Ascended from the Exotic Region will not pass up such a large piece of meat as Blue Star.
