Jia Yan engaged in a wave of attacks and defenses with some divine spirits of the Dugula Divine System and, after annihilating one divine spirit, returned contentedly to his subordinates. Watching Jia Yan emerge from the air beside him, even though everyone knew Jia Yan was using Subspace Talent, several Stellar Level Strong Ones were still haunted with fear. The reason is simple: the terrifying Subspace Talent that Jia Yan displayed earlier, along with his immense power, far exceeded the ordinary Stellar Class Junior level. The Heavenly Bull Monster, who also annihilated the Yellow Sand God, had yet to return here but saw Jia Yan emerge from subspace, with an exceptionally large Crystal of God floating before him... "Uh. I wanted to claim credit from the Lord, but he effortlessly annihilated a divine spirit himself, obtaining a Crystal of God, so it seems my credit has greatly diminished." The Heavenly Bull Monster sighed helplessly; following a master of such overwhelming power also brings immense pressure. However, Jia Yan’s strength fills him with great excitement. Because, although the six major Stellar Level Strong Ones knew Jia Yan’s incredible prowess beforehand, Jia Yan himself had mentioned he hadn’t dealt with divine spirit creatures yet; otherwise, there wouldn’t be this current test. He was vaguely worried that Jia Yan’s battle against divine spirit creatures might not showcase his real strength, which would greatly restrain their team. In a critical situation, if Jia Yan fled alone, the six Stellar Level Strong Ones would be left with nothing but tears. Luckily, it appears now that Jia Yan’s power remains formidable. Even when facing Godling Powerhouses, he might seem somewhat cautious, but the moment he reveals slight power, isn’t a Divine Spirit Level creature instantly destroyed by him? "Lord, here is the Crystal of God you requested." The Heavenly Bull Monster flew up to Jia Yan, offering the Crystal of God. "Mm, very good. You’ve worked hard in this battle, and you two have worked hard as well." Jia Yan glanced at the Heavenly Bull Monster; the main credit for this Crystal of God belonged to the Heavenly Bull Monster, while the remaining credit was from the two Stellar Level Strong Ones he ordered for support. He would remember these credits because leading a team is not just about his sheer power to compel them to act. "To serve the Lord, we dare not claim the merits." The Heavenly Bull Monster and the two Stellar Level Strong Ones beside him listened and realized Jia Yan did not diminish their credit simply for acquiring a Crystal of God himself, and promptly respectfully addressed Jia Yan with humble deference. Jia Yan knew this was merely humility. Yet he didn’t dwell on the issue because not far away, several Godling Powerhouses from the Dugula Divine System coldly stared at them. Earlier, when Jia Yan charged into their Divine System, annihilating a divine spirit, it left them shocked. Even though Jia Yan instantly returned to the Stellar Group, they dared not rashly charge in for vengeance for their fellow. "Jia Yan, you are such a strong one; why engage in battle with our God-Tier Powerhouses without notifying us? Do you believe breaking this rule is acknowledged by other strong ones?" The strongest among the dozen divine spirit creatures, equivalent to Dragon Active Spirit in status, stepped forward to the forefront of divine spirit creatures, gnashing his teeth at Jia Yan. Though he was highly wary of Jia Yan, with over a dozen comrades backing him, he didn’t believe Jia Yan could again charge forward to attack. Clearly, Jia Yan had no intention to attack again. "Haha, should battles be announced before being fought? Haha, sorry, in my homeland, whenever the notion arises, we commence battle. Moreover, do you think you’re worthy of my prior notification? Or say, if I don’t notify you, what can you do to me?" Jia Yan sneered, addressing the group of antiquated divine spirit system creatures with a cold tone. The Stellar Subordinates around him were initially surprised, then showed approval in their eyes. After all, most Stellar Level creatures grew up under similar conditions and environments. Upon reaching this Divine Spirit Star, or approaching the Divine Spirit Major Domain, they were influenced and developed their current combat view. But with Jia Yan’s reminder, they quickly recalled their feelings of the past. However, this was somewhat incomprehensible to the Dugula Divine System and the Flower God beside Jia Yan. "Fight without notice? Jia Yan, do you consider yourself an ordinary creature? Even wars of ordinary creatures have prior notice and mediation. You—you’re simply unfit to be a strong one. You exterminated two divine spirits of our divine system today; someday, you’ll pay for this. We’re leaving." The leading divine spirit’s stern anger surged after Jia Yan’s unreasonable rhetoric, and the surrounding divine spirits felt an overwhelming sense of outrage as well, for, in their divine spirit perspective, it was utterly rebellious. Yet they had no recourse, as Jia Yan’s demonstrated power was simply too terrifying. "Retreat, retreat, retreat. Go back and negotiate with surrounding divine systems. This Stellar Level Team is exceedingly ambitious, along with such a powerful strong one presiding over it; we must unite them." The leading divine creature, with an indescribable creature appearance, quickly led a group of divine spirits to retreat. He knew if Jia Yan truly decided to strike, coupled with the Stellar Level Strong Ones around him, they might suffer substantial losses despite having over a dozen divine spirit creatures. "This Jia Yan definitely has some reason for not attacking us; however, it’s fine. It’s better if he doesn’t make a move. Quickly return and spread the news about him. Other God Systems that have intentions toward our God System will lean towards us instead, as in front of star-level strong ones, we, the divine spirits, stand together." "At worst, we can make them halt their border confrontations with us, allowing our entire God System to face this Jia Yan and his group, thus shifting the advantage back to us." "Exactly, unlike those star-level strong ones, we divine spirits are the most united." The divine spirit creatures nearby greatly agreed with the leader creature’s words. Meanwhile, on the other side, Jia Yan and a group of star-level subordinates watched the retreating divine spirit creatures. "Lord, shouldn’t we pursue them? Their mindset has already collapsed. If we chase them, there might be greater results," Tian Niu Lang suggested hesitantly to Jia Yan. "No need. Don’t forget, our focus has never been just on this one God System. This is merely the first probing step. I’m already satisfied with achieving this result. Let’s take it slow; the war with the godling powerhouses is just beginning," Jia Yan smiled without placing too much importance on the current battle. Other star-level strong ones might think this is a great opportunity, but that’s just due to their short-sightedness. Jia Yan is different; he truly plans to do big things on this planet. This battle doesn’t require such extreme measures. Besides, this is indeed Jia Yan’s first time dealing with a group attack from the divine spirits, and he felt a subtle understanding emerging in his heart. Once he goes back to ponder over it, he will surely make greater strides in dealing with divine spirits.

Jia Yan glanced at the two Crystals of God before him. The group of star-level beings beside him almost ignored these crystals. As mentioned before, Crystals of God have less allure for star-level creatures than Crystals of Belief, though these Crystals of God are certainly worth much more. However, they dared not compete with Jia Yan for them, right? Moreover, they had already agreed on the distribution of the Crystals of Belief, so this unexpected joy should go to Jia Yan, the strongest leader. Jia Yan smiled and picked up the two Crystals of God. Upon obtaining them, a strange gleam appeared in his Compound Eyes, as if expressing joy? But now was not the time to think too much about it. "Alright, the Yellow Sand God is dead. As for the warfare below, any one of you can handle it. Try not to kill the troops—remember, our ordinary biological army numbers far fewer than the enemy’s. It would be good to use them for reinforcement." A star-level strong one flew below. The warfare below had already ceased due to the divine battle, especially after seeing a group of their divine spirits fleeing frantically under the ’divine’ attack of the star-level strong ones. The Yellow Sand God’s army instantly lost all their will to fight, each soldier desperately escaping on the ground. However, when that star-level creature landed below, an application of Brainwave Power rendered a large number of creatures immobile. As for how this star-level strong one would persuade the enemy, Jia Yan did not concern himself with it. He led a group of star-level subordinates and the Flower God, who had been observing the battle for a long time, back to their headquarters. Just a few thousand kilometers, which, with the power of star-level strong ones, would take no more than a few seconds to return. "Alright, you may go." Jia Yan entered the main hall he occupied but didn’t stay long. In just one step, he entered subspace, where a giant battleship was docked. "Master, you’re back! Wow, you brought two massive energy sources—are they for the Adisa’s energy?" Upon flying into the Adisa, Little Aidisha swiftly approached. Seeing the two massive Crystals of God that Jia Yan held, the eyes of the Mosquito in the onboard AI brightened. "Oh, can you use these?" Jia Yan was a bit surprised. "Yes, I can sense it. With the Adisa using them as an energy source, its flight speed will be even faster," Adisa replied to Jia Yan. "Hmm, then I’ll give you one for now. I want to study the other. Don’t worry; there will be plenty of such things in the future." Jia Yan tossed one Crystal of God to Adisa.
