“What issue?” Samuel frowned.“This particular artifact, according to my predecessors, is the oldest artifact here. All the artifacts from its era had already been taken, but this one remained because of the formation puzzle surrounding it. Even till today, no one has been able to solve it,” she replied.“Oh? Not even by forcefully breaking through it?”“Nobody, not even me, could forcefully break through it.” She shook her head.“Really? What are the qualities of the gown artifact?” he asked.“According to the records, it can triple either attack or defense depending on the energy stored within it. It’s self-recharging and also increases the user’s energy gathering speed fourfold. On top of that, it doubles the user’s energy absorption speed.”“Hm, such powerful qualities. Is it a low-tier Heaven Grade or mid-tier?” Samuel asked.He couldn’t accurately determine its tier because the formation blocked his perception, but he could already tell it was a Heaven Grade artifact. Still, cou

Heng Mei and the others had finished receiving the inheritance, along with the dragon blood. The changes in them were nothing short of overwhelming.“So this is the power of dragon blood? I think we’ve truly been frogs at the bottom of a well. The world beyond ours is vast, filled with countless wonders.” Dmitry’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he clenled and unclenched his fists, feeling the explosive power surging through his body.“I feel like I could blow apart a mountain with a single punch.” Bruce flexed his muscles, confidence practically radiating from his face.Heng Mei remained silent where he stood, his thoughts in turmoil. Everything felt unreal, almost dreamlike. His cultivation talent, energy gathering speed, and absorption abilities had all increased several times beyond their previous limits.What exactly is a dragon? A creature spoken of only in ancient legends... yet merely a trace of its bloodline transformed us this much. Is it truly this powerful? Does this mean

"Lord Kangaroo, there was a horde of them, and behind us are cities and towns. If we allow them through, they will destroy the cities and slaughter the people," he explained."Nonsense! Are you saying we are mindless beasts that can't think?" the Kangaroo roared, its voice shaking the surrounding earth."No, not you. I mean the first horde.""Same thing, same thing! You are calling us mindless? Fine then, let's act civilized. Even if you didn't want to let them through, why didn't you search for the thief yourself and bring us the grass?" it demanded."We are trying to. But your people are making things difficult for us, and we can't fully concentrate on the search," Staten pointed out."You are still shifting the blame onto us? We always keep to ourselves, yet first you stole one of our greatest treasures, then you called us mindless, and now you are blaming us for everything. Don't you have a limit? Hah!""My Lord, allow me to exterminate them for their sins," the Black Wolf said im

Nova Isle’s construction was advancing at full force. Vast sections of the island had already been completed. Factories towered across the industrial zones, their massive structures looming over the coastline, while rows of residential districts stretched farther outward each day, gradually filling with signs of life.Even the ports were nearing completion, packed with workers, towering cranes, roaring machinery, and endless shipments of materials arriving from every direction.The airport would also be completed soon. Albert and his team had been driving themselves relentlessly to maintain progress, pushing the project day and night to meet the growing demands. The workload had become so overwhelming that he eventually hired several additional construction companies just to sustain the pace.Inside a massive hall, the top figures of Nova Isle gathered around a long rectangular table. The atmosphere carried a quiet pressure that made even small movements seem restrained. Nina sat at

“Ehnm… Lady Thesa, you didn’t tell me you were coming.” Conrad coughed lightly, forcing out an awkward smile.“Why should I tell you I’m coming?” she shot back immediately.Conrad scratched the back of his head, buying himself a moment before replying.“Well, we could’ve welcomed you better. Right, Kendrick?”“There’s no better welcome than coming here and seeing the kind of people you truly are.” She smirked coldly.“What do you mean, Lady Thesa? We weren’t even talking about you just now.”“I never said you were. Of course, you were talking about me.”Silence settled over the hall.Conrad and Kendrick exchanged glances, neither of them knowing how to continue. Then Kendrick suddenly stepped forward, puffing out his chest proudly.“Lady Thesa, is this an interrogation or what? You have no right to talk to us like this.”“Woah!”Shocked cries erupted from the nearby researchers.Even Thesa was briefly speechless. She stared at him for several long seconds before a grin slowly spread a
