Under Lycia's pleading gaze, Chen Ping ruthlessly retreated. He was joking; he had just finished learning intermediate magic and didn't want to be forced to learn advanced magic now.
Eventually, Lycia's eyes lost their light, and she resigned herself to continuing to work hard. However, while doing her homework, she couldn't help but think of things like, "That jerk Chen Ping," and "I hate Chen Ping."
Unfortunately, Chen Ping couldn't escape it in the end, and a whole bunch of advanced magic books were sent directly into the training room.
......
Eddard led the pirates, who had transformed from the Billy Pirates into the Grace Pirates, in a counterattack. They had now carved out their former territory and were heading towards the territory of Cliff, one of the nearest maritime overlords.
As a mid-level god, he is now in high spirits.
Ed drew the entire painting himself, displaying his divine power.
However, he did not forget Lu Shu's instructions. Every time he conquered an island, he would send someone to inquire if there were any local specialties or resources. If so, he would pack some up and send it back to a small house in a certain location in the rear.
The snake people will come regularly to collect the items and deliver them to the heart of the divine island.
So Ed's advance wasn't particularly fast, but three days later, he still led his men to the territory of the overlord, Cliff.
When Ed saw Cliff again, he couldn't help but smile. Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? In such a short time, I went from a small combat captain who could only watch you cautiously from behind Billy to a high and mighty intermediate god!
Looking at Cliff, Ed laughed and said, "Cliff! Will you choose to submit, or will you choose death?"
Cliff looked at Ed and then burst into laughter: "Haha! What a joke, Ed! I never thought that a cricket demigod like you could become a mid-level god so quickly? This is truly unbelievable, hahaha."
Ed didn't react much to Cliff's laughter, since he'd always been like that, always laughing loudly when he spoke.
But since he's called a demigod of crickets, that's unacceptable. Didn't you see that he's now a noble intermediate god?
Ed said, “Cliff! I’m not kidding you. Choose: submit to me, or be killed on the spot?”
Upon hearing this, Cliff's smile vanished instantly, and he coldly snorted, "Edward, I am, after all, a god. To submit to you? Impossible. You don't have that kind of spirit."
"However, I am no match for you now. I admit defeat and withdraw from the Chaotic Sea."
When he called me, Cliff prepared to leave.
Ed looked completely bewildered. What? Did I say you could leave?
Hmph, the intermediate-level god unleashed his full power towards Cliff, instantly suppressing all enemies except Cliff.
Looking at Cliff's pained expression, Ed said coldly, "Cliff, it seems you've made your choice. Then I regret to inform you that you must die."
The result was self-evident: Cliff was forced to self-destruct his divine status by Ed's drawing on the spot, and all of his subordinates, except for his die-hard loyalists, surrendered one after another. After all, you can't expect these people to do anything for revenge.
I'm just trying to make a living, why should I care whether the people above me have changed?
After killing Cliff, Ed became increasingly confident and even accelerated his conquest.
Gru is also a mid-level god, and so is he. It's not unreasonable for him to be able to eat half of it, right?
......
The snake people would send back a new intelligence report every day, allowing Chen Ping, Lu Shu, Linafiel, and others to know what was happening outside without leaving their house.
Therefore, they were all very clear about the itinerary drawn by Ed.
It's going very smoothly; Ed has already conquered the territory of the next overlord, the Fiery Red Demon.
To their surprise, the Crimson Demon was indeed a demon, a lower-level demon god, and its race was the Flame Demon.
Taking over the Balrog's territory was quite simple, because the Balrog had been inside the crater the whole time and had never come out; it had been sleeping the whole time.
So Ed took over its territory very easily.
After taking over the Balrog's territory, Eddard had to stop, since he had already taken half of the territory, and if he continued forward, he would be heading towards Gru's territory.
Having already acquired half of the territory, Ed began sending people to search for special resources for everyone.
Everything seems to be going well.
But two days after Ed occupied the Red Demon's territory, Gru actually brought people to his door?
......
Ed looked at Gru with displeasure and said angrily, "Lord Gru, haven't you crossed the line?"
Gru looked at Ed and laughed, "Ed, huh? You've been hiding it well. I remember you were just a minor demigod back in the meetings. How long has it been? And you're already a mid-level god?"
Ed said, "I don't want to talk about the past. Lord Gru, I only call you 'Lord' because you are also a mid-level god. Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
"Tell me, what sea breeze blew you here? Or do you want to continue the war?"
Upon hearing this, Gru burst into laughter, saying, "Hahaha, how could that be? You're killing me with laughter!"
The next second, Gru said calmly, "I want you to hand over the territory yourself, brother. That way, I can guarantee your survival!"
What happened next is unknown, but the territory drawn by Ed was gradually replaced by the people of Gru.
Meanwhile, the snake people who had been scattered elsewhere returned to the island.
......
At the Heart of the Divine Island, beneath the World Tree, the meeting of the group unfolds once again.
Chen Ping sat in the main seat and then spoke to Sheruojia, who had just returned.
Chen Ping: "Chief Sheruojia, you can begin to explain the situation now."
Sheruo nodded and then began to speak.
"......"
Sheruka: "That concludes the details of this unexpected situation."
Chen Ping: "So, Ed is dead? Who killed him? Gru?"
Lu Shu stroked his beard: "I can still sense the mark on the divine essence, which means the divine essence is still there?"
Linafil: "What do you mean? Ed was instantly killed? He didn't even have time to self-destruct his divine power?"
"Then it can't be Gru. After all, he only recently broke through, and it's uncertain whether he can defeat Edhua. Edhua's divine power, with the help of divine crystals, is comparable to that of a veteran mid-level god."
Meng Jia: "So, there's another unknown, formidable enemy? Woof!"
Chen Ping: "Ed is dead, but Gru is not only unharmed, he even took over Ed's territory? Doesn't that mean Gru is one of their people?"
Sheruojia: "By the way, when my people came to Gru to have Ed draw, they could feel a strong chill, but Gru's laws are earth-based laws."
The group exchanged glances, then shouted in unison, "The Ice Queen!"
