"As long as you are willing to submit to me, you have the chance to possess the same strength as them, or even stronger, reaching the same level as Wang Long!"

Ling Feng once again presented his terms.

A flicker of interest crossed Dong Yanwu's eyes. He had no interest in power whatsoever; he revered martial prowess and only wanted to become stronger.

The conditions offered by Ling Feng were indeed very tempting to him.

A hint of conflict flashed across Dong Yanwu's face. He didn't want to live under someone else's roof, nor did he want to be controlled by someone all the time.

"Do you think being the leader of a base will grant you true freedom? Without strength, in this increasingly brutal apocalypse, you'll only face destruction!"

The old man in gray offered him words of comfort.

Dong Yanwu was silent for a moment, then looked at Ling Feng and said...

"I can join, but I have conditions!"

Ling Feng chuckled dismissively.

"You have no right to negotiate with me. You're just someone I can do without. Come talk to me again when you can defeat Wang Long!"

After Ling Feng finished speaking, he walked towards the Yanwu base's camp, with Wang Long following closely behind.

"The people at this base are in pretty good physical condition. You and Lao Ma can pick some good prospects and train them!"

Ling Feng talked to Wang Long as they walked.

Wang Long nodded and said.

"Alright, whatever Dong Yanwu decides!"

Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then his eyes flickered.

"Let him work under you as a regular team member first, and let him temper his character. If he's really hard to manage, just get rid of him! The War God Base doesn't need another one!"

The two entered the base, and Ling Feng searched the entire base's warehouses, finding that the storage was quite abundant, enough to feed them for a year.

Ling Feng directly copied the supplies. He put the original supplies back to them. On his way here, he also copied the supplies from the Co-creation Alliance headquarters.

Looking at the increasing supplies in the space, Ling Feng felt relieved.

As time goes by, the importance of food is gradually increasing, and even people with superpowers need to eat.

After collecting the supplies, Ling Feng summoned the gray-robed elder and Dong Yanwu.

The old man in gray bowed respectfully to Ling Feng, and Dong Yanwu also bent down somewhat stiffly.

Through inquiry, it was learned that the old man in gray was originally named Zheng Sanbao, and was a hermit on Chuangjie Mountain.

"Old Zheng, why is your strength increasing so quickly? Did you have some kind of extraordinary encounter?"

Ling Feng looked at Zheng Sanbao and asked curiously.

Zheng Sanbao hesitated upon hearing this. This was his biggest secret, one he had never told anyone else, not even Dong Yanwu. But Ling Feng was now his master, and if he didn't tell him, it might displease Ling Feng.

Hearing this question, Dong Yanwu also looked at his master, who had always been curious about the secret to his master's advancement.

After a moment of struggle, Zheng Sanbao slowly spoke.

"I did indeed have a miraculous encounter; I once obtained a strange fruit on the mountain!"

"A strange fruit?"

Ling Feng looked at Zheng Sanbao with some surprise. This was the first time he had heard this term, and he immediately became interested.

Zheng Sanbao nodded and continued.

"I have been living in seclusion on Mount Chuangshi, practicing Taoist arts. After decades of arduous cultivation, I have only reached the realm of inner vision, which is a far cry from the legendary realm. I thought I would spend the rest of my life there."

"After the apocalypse, I awakened a superpower, but it was only the most basic speed ability. However, due to years of meditation, my superpower reached the level of a super ability user after awakening."

"Later, I unexpectedly saw a golden fruit on the mountain. It looked like an apple, so I picked one and ate it. Unexpectedly, my strength increased greatly. I felt it was very magical. So I ate all the fruits on the tree in one go, and my strength reached the peak of the Emperor level!"

After Zheng Sanbao finished speaking, he looked at Ling Feng.

In his mind, he felt that Ling Feng must have had a greater opportunity, otherwise how could he have reached such a terrifying level of strength in such a short time?

Ling Feng fell into deep thought after listening to Zheng Sanbao's words.

It seems that the apocalypse not only awakens superpowers in people, but also causes some plants to mutate and gain magical powers.

"Where is Mount Genesis?"

"If you, Chief, are planning to go to Creation Mountain to search for treasure, I advise you to give up this idea!"

Zheng Sanbao reminded him.

"Why?"

Ling Feng looked at him, puzzled.

Zheng Sanbao sighed.

"To be honest, Chief, I was driven out of Creation Mountain because I was too weak!"

Ling Feng looked surprised and suspicious. Zheng Sanbao, a peak Emperor-level cultivator, was actually expelled. Just what was the background of this Creation Mountain?

Zheng Sanbao paused for a moment and then continued.

"Before the end times, many people chose to live in seclusion on Chuangshi Mountain, far removed from the secular world. Many of them cultivated themselves for many years and became highly accomplished in Taoist practices."

Most of them have awakened superpowers and are quite strong. The best among them have even reached the peak of the Emperor level in a very short time. They gradually formed an organization and dominated the resources of the entire Genesis Mountain. Several of their leaders have already broken through the Emperor level!

I was attacked by them because I had a grudge against one of them!

"It seems there are many exotic fruits on Creation Mountain!"

A glint of light flashed in Ling Feng's eyes, and he became very interested in Creation Mountain.

Zheng Sanbao, being a shrewd man, could easily see through Ling Feng's thoughts. He felt that Ling Feng was still too arrogant, and even though he had just explained the implications, he still couldn't change Ling Feng's mind!
