Pain and anger were visible on her face.

This tigress also hit my right…

The pain that did not fully subside throbbed again, even though the attack this time was by a palm and not as painful as the previous time.

However, the pain from this injury and the residual pain from the previous injury made her feel agonized, and her right hand kept rubbing where she got hit.

She swore to herself that she must level up her Art of Cloning and Phantasm as soon as possible…

To further reduce the pain being transferred to the original body if the clone were to be injured.

Moreover, that tigress…

She rarely got angry at someone else, but the throbbing pain from her right chest and that tigress’s haughty attitude from just now really made her feel livid.

Or to put it in another way, it was more of the indignation and dissatisfaction of being the weaker party.

It was the first time she was ever so completely overpowered by another female.

She was overshadowed in all aspects.

She was overpowered in terms of capabilities, aura, confidence, support, etc… although there were many reasons why and that was also the tigress’s turf; she wouldn’t find excuses.

The actual fact was that she lost drastically.

I will pay it back one day.

She suppressed her indignation and started to think about where she should go next.

Now that she had failed at the Tiger King’s, she had fewer places to go.

She pondered for a moment and headed towards the southwest.

…

In the Tiger King’s Cave, back in the room, Wang Hu once again conversed with Silly Girl who ran away embarrassedly just now.

He made a list of the information about the Deep Abyss that he could share with China and made a call to Li Aimin.

They spoke briefly, and Wang Hu ended the call, sending the information over.

“That’s it?” Di Baijun thought about the strength of the Deep Abyss and couldn’t help but to ask.

“This is enough. We have already done our best.

“Whether they can resist the invasion of Second Realms from the Deep Abyss will depend on Russia itself.

“Since it’s just a bunch of Second Realms and not much time has passed, as long as precautions are taken; the worst that could happen is that they create a mess for a while. It would be unlikely that they would gain a foothold on Earth.

“If we did more, we might not be welcomed,” Wang Hu said calmly.

Di Baijun thought for a while and nodded. She had nothing more to add.

In the following month, Wang Hu did not pay more attention to this matter.

However, Li Aimin would make a call every two or three days to update him with some information.

That woman was right. There were indeed some Second Realm demon soldiers who managed to evade the detection of satellites and technology and entered Russian territory.

Luckily, the numbers were small—probably due to the short period and that Russia was already carrying out a nationwide search.

As for how much information about Earth had been sent back, it was uncertain yet.

At the same time, all the countries started to take precautions against such situations, and they reduced their reliance on technology.

In general, it was still because it had not been long since the spiritual energy awakened, so the understanding that different countries had about the strange and mysterious Dharma spells or special abilities was still very superficial. This was also the case even for China who already owned two great legacies.

They had let their guard down.

Fortunately, they discovered it in time. If not, the consequences would be disastrous.

Now, the countries were busy thinking about how to change.

For surveillance, they could no longer rely on existing technology. As they worked on developing more advanced technology, they also brainstormed about other methods.

Regardless, Wang Hu was not too concerned about the Deep Abyss world passage in Russia now. Russia was capable of handling the matter before the concentration of spiritual energy reached the Third Realm; they would not let the demon soldiers gain a foothold in Earth.

In a blink of an eye, another month passed. Everything was peaceful.

The threat of the Deep Abyss seemed to be irrelevant to the commoners.

In the Tiger King’s Cave, within the span of a few months, another seven tigers consecutively broke through the Transformation Realm and had already joined the Tiger King’s Cave.

The strength of the tiger species increased again.

They occupied such a large territory and did not have a strong opponent. On top of that, they benefited from the cultivation method and privilege items that Wang Hu gave them.

Wang Hu was aware that the tiger species had now entered a phase of rapid development after accumulating strength. There would be more tigers who would break through the Transformation Realm at a faster rate in the following period.

It was time they started on another task.

“Ask for tigers from China?”

Wang Hu mentioned it to Di Baijun, and she was interested in the idea as he expected.

“Yes. Our Tiger King’s Cave has more than 20 Transformation Realms now. It’s still not enough, and we are just barely meeting the basic requirements.

“Moreover, after we have planned so much in the beginning, we are now slowly seeing the results. There will be more and more tigers reaching the Transformation Realm.

“It’s time we take care of the weaker tigers,” Wang Hu said firmly.

The most important factor about strengthening the tiger species was that the numbers must be sufficient.

He only had slightly more than 1,000 tigers under his helm.

Few geniuses emerged from them.

They might be able to reach the Transformation Realm, but how many of them would reach the Divine Body Realm?

They must have enough tigers first, and to achieve that, they had to ask from China and even from all the countries in the world.

There were most likely tens of thousands of different types of tigers on Earth, and the tigers that the different countries kept in captivity occupied about 80%.

This was the fastest way to increase numbers.

In the past, he did not have enough Transformation Realms and was unable to care for those useless tigers that were bred by humans. Now, he could.

“Okay.” Di Baijun nodded and said excitedly, “How many should we ask for?”

“Let’s ask for 2,000 tigers first. 900 males, 1,100 females,” Wang Hu replied.

“Sure, 2,000 tigers. With our current territory and our ample food, they should be able to survive,” Di Baijun immediately agreed.

Wang Hu nodded. As time passed by, the creatures of other species also increased in his territory, while he was stuck with more than 1,000 tigers.

Putting aside the influx of external resources and just focusing on the internal environment alone, the number of other species that increased naturally was countless and was sufficient to sustain more than 1,000 tigers.

If it wasn’t because the territory and living space were also constantly increasing, the tiger species might not be able to withstand the other species also rapidly increasing in numbers.

Once Wang Hu discussed the matter with Silly Girl, he immediately called Li Aimin.

“Your Excellency, hello.” Li Aimin’s friendly and passionate voice was heard.

“Cabinet Elder Li, I have a favor to ask.” Wang Hu went straight to the point.

Li Aimin immediately felt energized, and his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

A favor? Good!

I’m not afraid of favors. I’m only afraid that you won’t ask me for favors.

The more difficult the matter was, the better.

“Your Excellency, please feel free to tell me. China will definitely do everything we can,” Li Aimin promised solemnly.

His response was quite different from when he spoke to Wang Hu about going to the Hu County alternate world.

He spoke with more sincerity now.

The reason was simple. After the invasion of Hui species from the alternate world in Hu County and Wang Hu offering information about the Deep Abyss voluntarily…

China owed him a favor.

Wang Hu directly said, “The tigers under my helm are too few. I need more tigers.

“I want 2,000 tigers from China’s ecological parks and zoos.

“900 males and 1,100 females…”

Li Aimin’s eyes turned pensive.

However, in just one second, he immediately agreed and said, “Sure, we will make arrangements ASAP.”

Wang Hu was not surprised by the answer. If they couldn’t even agree to this request immediately, then they wouldn’t be China.

After all, they still owed him a favor.

They spoke more in detail and ended the call.

Wang Hu looked at Silly Girl and smiled. “Alright, we just have to leave the matters to Old Second next.”

This was the good thing about having many capable subordinates. They could always leave the troublesome matters to them.

Wang Hu just had to make general decisions.

It was unlike the past where he had to do everything by himself; he even had to look for the tigers to impart the cultivation methods on his own.

Di Baijun nodded. With an increase in the number of tigers, it was expected that their strength would also rise soon.

The thought of that made her rather happy.

This was the tiger species that she built by herself. It made her feel a sense of achievement and responsibility.

Wang Hu gave instructions, and Wang Liang and the rest did the execution.

In the following month, Wang Liang and the others were busy preparing for the arrival of the 2,000 tigers.

Imparting them with the cultivation methods and even picking a territory that was most suitable, safest, and densest of prey for them…

They also had to decide on some frameworks, such as making frequent visitations. It would be inevitable for these less capable tigers to get injured or even die…

However, the fatality numbers must not be too high.

Their offspring were especially important. They were the new generation of the tiger species, and nothing bad must happen to them.

In the next few years, they would have to bear the responsibility of protecting and guiding these less capable tigers and the little tiger cubs.

Until these tigers gained the ability to survive on their own.

Wang Hu had no other choice since there were too few tigers now.

They settled down the 2,000 tigers. A few days later, a piece of news suddenly shocked the world.

A country in the west was wiped out.

Numerous First Realms and Second Realms of an unknown species suddenly flooded out from an undetected world passage, instantly invading this small country.

Although the major countries provided help on time, because of the bombs and the massive numbers of cannibalistic creatures…

Most people in the country were killed.

The country’s land also turned into scorched earth. The country was essentially wiped out.

The various countries blockaded the newly discovered world passage, and news of it caused huge panic all over the world once it was reported.

The situation was simply too precarious.

Small countries did not have the ability to defend themselves at all, and the country could face the possibility of being wiped out even with the formation of the allied forces.

The world passage was too obscure, and not even technology could detect it. It was also unpredictable; there might not be a world passage in a certain place today, but a new one might just emerge the next day.

When a massive invasion took place, to prevent the species from the alternate world from gaining a stronghold on Earth, all of them had to be exterminated, which meant that bombings were a certainty.

In that case, the smaller countries would still be wiped out, similar to what happened to this one.

To live so precariously and face the danger of being wiped out anytime, the smaller countries and even the mid-sized countries began to voice their opinions.

They banded together and pressured the larger countries to force them to come up with a solution. They could not leave the safety of their own countries in the hands of luck.

More than half of the world’s countries came together as one; no one could ignore their demands.

No one, including the major countries with the five major countries in the lead.

It was a very urgent issue for them.

Unfortunately, this problem seemed to have no solution. The problem was discussed and debated at the world conference for more than a month, yet they still couldn’t find a solution to which all the countries would agree.

At this point, yet another small country was heavily devastated by a newly emerged alternate world.

Immediately, the conflict escalated, and discussions on the world conference and on the Internet became even more heated.

Many illegal organizations, cults, and pseudo-religious groups even emerged in many medium- to small-sized countries all over the world, creating chaos and causing disturbances.

The humans on Earth appeared to be experiencing a tumultuous period, foreshadowing an impending upheaval.

In the Tiger King’s Cave, it was peaceful as usual.

In the room, after watching a video of a violent attack overseas…

Di Baijun scorned, “Humans are still the same; they are never united. They are still fighting among themselves when things have already progressed to this point.”

For the past month, they have paid much attention to this matter. However, the updates that they saw only made Di Baijun feel disheartened.

“It’s normal. There are so many countries in the world, yet how many of them were confident of defending themselves?

“Moreover, this was only the present situation. Once the spiritual energy density of the world outside of China reaches the Third Realm, the situation will be much worse.

“All the humans know this for a fact. The smaller countries and even some weaker major countries are worried. It’s normal that they are making a scene.

“If they didn’t, then they might have to face the destruction of their homes.

“During times like this, the smaller countries have the say.

“The major countries do not have a choice, and they also cannot ignore them.” Wang Hu shook his head and spoke solemnly.

“Then, why can’t they merge into one country? They are all humans after all.

“So many alternate worlds have emerged, but they are still not united. Eventually, they’ll only face death if they continue like this.” Di Baijun pursed her lips and showed even more disdain.

“Merging into one country? Haha, that’s easier said than done.” Wang Hu laughed and continued to say, “From the way we see it, they are all humans and should merge into one country.

“In the eyes of humans, we and the other species are all animals. Then, do you think that it’s possible for us and the other animal species to form into one united species?”

Di Baijun was taken aback. She refuted, “How is that the same situation? At least, they are all from the human species, unlike us.

“Moreover, we could even form an organization that accepts and guides all species.”

“Yes, it’s not comparable. Relatively speaking, they have fewer barriers since they all belong to the same human species.

“But to merge into one country is much more complicated than us wanting to form an organization that leads all the animal species.

“Because the more powerful something is, the harder it is to change it. It’s much simpler to start from scratch.

“For example, in our case, it would be simple if we want to rule the northern border; we just have to fight and conquer all the species. But it will get harder and harder as we progress.

“Can the humans fight between themselves directly?

“No, they can’t.

“Among the humans, no country has the capability of merging all the countries forcefully into one, not even China.

“It’s also not the right timing. No country wishes to be absorbed by another.

“With the threat of the alternate worlds looming, if a country dared to use force, it might force the smaller countries to resort to means that end up in mutual destruction.

“Perhaps, after going through a devastating loss—coupled with the presence of a powerful strength—will that become a possibility.”

Wang Hu slowly said.
