A portion of the terrifying pressure immediately disappeared.
Ri Tian said, "Come in. Although I cannot completely offset the pressure, you can at least enter!"
The Dwarf King nodded. Moments ago, he could barely move. Now, his feet felt as if they were cast in lead, but at least he could still move. However, if he were to fight here, he knew he wouldn't even have the chance to make a move.
The moment the Dwarf King stepped into the courtyard, he discovered something even more terrifying, which immediately made him behave himself.
"Big brother, my Dwarf Kingdom has fallen. It was destroyed by that Overlord. I implore you to seek justice for me!"
Ri Tian stretched his lazy body.
"Do you need to find me for such a trivial matter?"
The Dwarf King's expression was bitter.
"We are at our wits' end. I would never have come to you if it weren't absolutely necessary!"
Ri Tian said, "It's fine. My master will handle this matter. Go back and wait. If someone asks you to join them, then agree. His name is Zhang Pingfan, and he is our master. He should be the village chief of Pingfan City!"
The Dwarf King's face lit up with joy. His big brother's master would be even more powerful.
"Thank you, big brother, for clarifying my confusion!"
"Alright, go back. This is not a place for you. Staying here longer will be bad for your health!"
"Thank you, big brother!"
The Dwarf King hurriedly left the small courtyard. The moment he left, the Dwarf King's tense expression finally relaxed.
This small courtyard was too terrifying. It was filled with killing intent everywhere. Even more frightening was that everything within it was a treasure he had only dreamed of.
"Terrifying! What kind of formidable existence is big brother's master!"
However, with his big brother's words, the anxiety in the Dwarf King's heart lessened considerably.
When the Dwarf King returned to the Central Land Empire.
The Lord of Savage City had already joined the Lord of the Central Land Empire.
At this moment, the Lord of the Central Land Empire was still bargaining with the Lord of Savage City.
"Dwarf King, you tell me. Mutual benefit is a good thing, but you insist on us joining you. I also know that his master must be very powerful, but I am a dignified ninth-tier peak War God. Signing a master-servant contract is extremely humiliating!"
To his surprise, the Dwarf King was not angry, but rather excited.
"May I ask if the Lord of Savage City's master is called Zhang Pingfan, and if he is the village chief of Pingfan City!"
The Lord of Savage City nodded and said, "That's right, he is my master!"
Without another word, the Dwarf King agreed.
"No problem, I agree. Do we need to sign a contract? I'll sign it now!"
With his big brother's words, he would not hesitate. He felt that if he hesitated, it would mean he truly had a problem with his brain, and that would be disrespecting his big brother.
The Lord of the Central Land Empire was dumbfounded.
"What are you getting excited about? Do you know the consequences of signing a master-servant agreement!"
"I know very well. I am his servant! And he is my master!"
The Lord of Savage City was somewhat surprised.
"Do you know some inside information? You agreed so quickly!"
"I just went to see Ri Tian big brother, and he advised me!"
"Oh, so you found Ri Tian big brother. Then we are of the same mind!"
"Haha, it's true. When will the master arrive? After all, we don't know when the Overlord will attack us again!"
The Lord of Savage City said, "It's not a big problem. As long as you confirm, I'll go find the master right away!"
"Okay, I agree. What about you, Lord of Central Land City!"
The Lord of the Central Land Empire was still quite confused. How could they have no prior interaction, and yet they both had a "Ri Tian big brother"? Who was this person?
"Who exactly is this Ri Tian big brother you are talking about?"
"It's that dog I told you about earlier!"
"What? Are you two alright in the head? Recognizing a dog as your big brother?"
The Lord of Savage City said with disdain, "Broaden your horizons. We don't know how strong Ri Tian big brother is, but at least he is no weaker than a peak transcendent!"
"Damn it, really? A dog is that strong!"
"Nonsense! Besides our Ri Tian big brother, our master also has a willow tree behind him. That is the truly terrifying existence. When the Four Great Demon Emperors attacked my Savage City, they were subdued by just a willow branch. Do you think a peak transcendent War God can easily subdue the Four Great Demon Emperors?"
Anyone with common sense would know that it was impossible to subdue them easily. Even if a peak transcendent War God was very powerful, peak War Gods were not to be trifled with, let alone Demon Emperors.
"So powerful, why haven't I heard of it before!"
The Lord of Savage City said, "There's a lot you don't know. Do you agree or not? Our master's patience is limited! Oh, by the way, don't think about seeking help from the experts on the Divine Realm Continent. Our master has already subjugated everyone there. All the experts are gathered in the Heavenly God Sect, awaiting our master's judgment!"
The Lord of the Central Land Empire felt like his entire world had shattered. The rumors were true, but he never expected the person behind it to be so terrifying.
"Alas, actually, before you, I had already contacted Elder Jin from the Divine Realm Continent. I originally thought he just didn't want to get involved in trouble, but I didn't expect there to be such a deeper meaning behind it!"
The Lord of Savage City said, "My master will surely unify the entire world. If you don't agree, it's fine. We are not lacking you at the moment anyway. When you die, we will find another ninth-tier peak War God to serve as the Lord of the Central Land Empire!"
What else could the Lord of the Central Land Empire say? Their escape routes had all been cut off.
"Alright, at least there is no other way now. I agree too!"
"Very good, I will report back to the master now. You all wait here!"
However, at this moment, Zhang Pingfan was not in the game. He was discussing the upcoming material storage matters with the elder of the Dou family.
"Grandson-in-law, will this apocalypse you're talking about really happen? And didn't we already set up a defensive formation? Can't it guarantee our safety?"
Zhang Pingfan shook his head and said, "Currently, that defensive shield can only withstand attacks from demon slaves below the King tier. It can also withstand attacks from King tier demon slaves, but if attacked for a long time, it will still be broken. As for attacks from demon slaves above the King tier, it can only last for half an hour at most. This place is not absolutely safe, so storing supplies is very necessary!"
"No wonder I received a reminder from the government that we need to prepare sufficient supplies for emergencies. It seems we also need to consider our own situation!"
"Yes, the whole world should be urgently producing food. In another month or two, the country will issue a notice to the public about distributing reserve supplies. We should prepare in advance!"
"Understood, I will instruct them immediately. But where should these supplies be stored?"
Zhang Pingfan didn't even have to think about it. Of course, they would be stored at his villa. The system had said that his villa was the safest place in the world.
However, given the size of the villa, it could not store too many things, so a separate underground basement needed to be built.
Under Zhang Pingfan and Dou Guomin's arrangements, the construction of underground warehouses and the storage of materials were immediately put on the agenda.
