Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Winter had arrived, and the weather had thoroughly turned cold.
On the Black Soil Plain, a magnificent and spectacular city was being built at an extremely rapid pace.
City building materials were worthless in the City of Gods, so Su Xingyu bought a lot. With the help of various Transcendent magics, the speed of constructing the city could be described as flying progress.
At this rate, it would take at most half a year for this super-large city, planned to house a permanent population of one million, to be initially completed.
After connecting to the City of Gods, many of the Night Tribe's cultivation resources could be exchanged for supplies, and their development speed had increased significantly compared to before.
Although the Night Tribe had a large population, they were not short of cultivation resources.
The Night Tribe itself controlled two small Blood Crystal Veins, and with the addition of the two brought by annexing the Savage Bull and Giant Tiger Tribes, they now had four Blood Crystal Veins alone.
Even though these Blood Crystal Veins were all small, with the hard work of the many tribesmen of the Night Tribe, they could still mine six to seven thousand units of Blood Crystal Stones daily.
Not to mention that he also had a Dark Crystal Vein.
Currently, the Night Tribe did not have many Mages, so most of the mined Dark Crystal Stones could be sold.
And besides the Crystal Ore Veins, he also had Mithril Ore Veins, Fine Iron Ore Veins, and the "Blood Star Sand," a reinforcement resource that came with the Red River.
There was a reason why the Black Soil Plain could support so many tribes; the resources here were truly abundant.
Of course, this came at a price.
This fertile land had bred too many powerful factions. If Su Xingyu were not truly strong enough, coupled with sufficient luck, he might have already abandoned developing his tribe and switched to being a Religious Flow Deity.
With all sorts of resources abundant, the Night Tribe's changes were astonishing, with a new appearance every day, and their strength advanced by leaps and bounds.
Crystal Stones were used liberally, and Divine Grace descended from time to time, assisting believers in breaking through.
The Power of Faith fed back by the believers also increased significantly, allowing Su Xingyu to use more and more Divine Source, forming a positive cycle.
When it came to improving strength, Su Xingyu was not stingy with resources; he truly took from the people and used it for the people.
Transcendent Warriors of the Night Tribe emerged like mushrooms after a rain.
Today, after half a month, the Night Tribe had achieved the small goal of making the entire army Transcendent.

Three days ago, Ye Zhan sent an urgent message stating that they had annihilated the Monster Horde in the Bloodfang Forest and brought the Bloodfang Forest under their control. This added several more mineral veins to the Night Tribe, as well as a rich Spirit Grass resource area.
Under Ye Zhan's leadership, this war did not result in too many casualties, with only sixty-seven deaths and over three hundred injured.
Even though the overall strength of the legion led by Ye Zhan crushed the Bloodfang Monster Horde, they still suffered some damage when facing the desperate counterattacks of some powerful magical beasts.
In response, Su Xingyu, who had long been accustomed to Life and Death, merely ordered the distribution of good compensation and then began preparations for the development of the Bloodfang Forest.
The Bloodfang Forest spans nearly 2,000 square kilometers, and the resources contained within can be imagined.
Su Xingyu, who was now supporting numerous Elite Legions, was under immense pressure!
Transcendent cultivation was like climbing a mountain; the higher one went, the more difficult it became, and the more resources were required.
Blood Crystal Stones could only satisfy daily cultivation; to progress faster, potions were indispensable.
Even though the Night Tribe had not yet reached that stage, he had to prepare early.
Having been in this world for so long, Su Xingyu had long understood a truth.
Everything else was false; only strength was real.
As long as his strength was sufficient, he could snatch any Food, Equipment, or cultivation resources he desired.
Therefore, the army had always been his primary focus.
Legions of the same tier possessed different strengths. Based on various factors, they were classified by the System as: Minion, Normal, Elite, Imperial Guard, Epic... Each time a legion leveled up, its rank would decrease.
For the same Tier 2 legion, an Elite Legion might completely overwhelm a Normal Legion. If the difference was two tiers, there was no need to say more; a one-sided slaughter was inevitable.
Su Xingyu did not know how to train soldiers and could not improve the legion's tier, but he understood one thing: a Tier 3 legion was definitely more capable in battle than a Tier 2 legion.
If he could not improve the soft power of the legion warriors, he would directly improve their hard power.
By increasing the warriors' Transcendent tier and then sending them into battle, after more than ten battles, as long as they survived, they could definitely be called "Elite."
This was cruel, but it was the best method of training soldiers.
The battlefield was the place that tempered people the most; this saying was not wrong.
"Screech—"
A powerful eagle's cry echoed from afar, and then a massive figure could be seen flying at lightning speed.
It was an exceptionally majestic Giant Eagle, with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters, like a cloud descending from the heavens. Its black and gold feathers were incredibly luxurious, subtly revealing a hint of sharpness. The talons on its claws were soul-stirring; a single strike would likely tear one into several pieces.
After circling the sky several times, the Sky-Rending Eagle slowly stopped before Su Xingyu and let out a few low calls, as if sharing its joy with him.
Looking at the rather active Sky-Rending Eagle, Su Xingyu felt a bit helpless and could only comfort it:
"Mhm, mhm, I know, you did great this time..."
The Night Tribe had domesticated thirteen Sky-Rending Eagles. Since they were still eggs, they had undergone the baptism of Su Xingyu's Silver Godhead, undergoing a Bloodline Ancestral Return. They transformed from the original Storm Eagles into Sky-Rending Eagles, with their potential greatly increased.
The Sky-Rending Eagle before him was personally nurtured by Su Xingyu. The "Creation Energy" it absorbed was almost double that of its companions, and it also received the Favor of Darkness, making it a true genius eagle.
At the same time, it was the first Magical Beast in the Night Tribe to reach Fourth Order. Relying on its powerful Bloodline Power, it could even hunt some Fifth Order Magical Beasts.
To deal with the Magical Beasts with strong individual power within the Bloodfang Forest, Su Xingyu had specifically dispatched several Sky-Rending Eagles to accompany the expedition.

Feng Da seemed dissatisfied and shook its head, "Chirp chirp..."
"Alright, I won't forget you. When you have children, I'll help you reinforce them..." Su Xingyu chuckled as he looked at the Sky-Rending Eagle seeking praise.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
Feng Da was then satisfied, spread its wings, soared into the Firmament, and flew into the distance.
Dust swirled.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."
