The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Attilan admitted that he had taken a gamble, but now seeing the various ugly behaviors of the vengeful spirits fighting over the Soul Calming Buns, even to the point of killing each other, he knew that he had won his bet.

And it was a resounding victory!

Just relying on the Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasure Soul Calming Buns, which he learned about from anime before transmigrating, couldn't possibly replicate the effect of Zhuge Wuhou using steamed buns to worship the Nanman dead and appease their resentment.

The full effect of the Four Gods Mountain and Sea Eight Treasure Soul Calming Buns came from Druidic knowledge. Attilan provided the concept and the handling of ingredients for this dish, while the Old Urchin was the one who harmonized the four elemental energies contained within the ingredients.

The outer skin made of wheat flour, disguised as a human head, was already quite similar. Then, with Vine Woman adding a layer of illusion with her fairy magic, it looked perfect.

The surface-level function of the face-like bun attracting vengeful spirits to eat it was to conceal the resentment-soothing filling inside.

At the same time, the face and the filling, as a whole, could trigger the power of the Four Spirits.

But this material realm probably doesn't have the Four Spirits. When Attilan tried to draw upon the power of the Four Spirits while making the Four Gods Mountain and Sea Eight Treasure Soul Calming Buns, there was no reaction.

He could only settle for the next best thing, drawing upon four of the twelve constellations in the starry sky, which are also divided into the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire: Leo for fire, Taurus for earth, Pisces for water, and Libra for wind.

How to use the power of the constellations was also included in Druidic knowledge. In addition to learning how to use the power of the earth and all things, Druids couldn't neglect the power of starlight.

Of course, compared to the countless stars, Druids generally preferred to use the power of the moon.

Attilan couldn't use the power of the constellations yet, so this step could only be done by the Old Urchin. The Elemental School was the best at utilizing various energies.

With over a hundred Soul Calming Buns compared to more than ten thousand vengeful spirits, it seemed like a drop in the bucket. The aroma of the Soul Calming Buns made the vengeful spirits unable to suppress their inner impulses. They were all afraid that if they were late, the Soul Calming Buns would be eaten by other vengeful spirits first.

They rushed out of Blooddye's body one after another. The more vengeful spirits that emerged, the darker Blooddye's face became. He didn't even know when so many vengeful spirits had taken up residence in his body.

The Old Urchin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Attilan's method was good, but it was too unfriendly to the old man in charge of the practical work.

"You designed this magical dish with such complicated steps, are you sure this is for people to eat?"

Attilan shrugged, and with a grin, tossed the leftover scraps made into a Black Tortoise Black Bun into his mouth, using it to pick his teeth.

"I didn't design it. I just used Druidic knowledge to localize a dish that I'd heard about in my inherited memories. This magical dish was originally designed to replace human sacrifice in ancestral rituals for the dead."

"I thought the improved version would not be as effective on the dead, but I didn't expect the effect to be quite good."

Strands of energy nourished Attilan's soul, making him feel warm and comfortable. He widened his eyes and said:

"Old Urchin, I seem to have created something amazing. This Soul Calming Bun seems to be able to nourish the soul. Try it and see how it compares to the Emerald Dream?"

The Old Urchin picked up a red Vermillion Bird Bun and tossed it into his mouth, half-believing.

"It's really effective, but it doesn't work on me. It should be because the material grade is too low, and also because our cooking methods were too rushed to save time. Next time, let's collect the best materials from the forest and do it again."

The Old Urchin's eyes flickered. He seemed to see a possibility of breaking through the legendary barrier.

Vine Woman picked up a green Azure Dragon Bun and took a bite. Although they frantically compressed the production time, the fermentation time of the dough was slightly insufficient, but the sensation in her mouth was as fluffy and soft as a cloud.

Vine Woman's eyes lit up, and she walked towards Bearman and Blooddye with the remaining small buns.

"Big Bear, Blooddye, you guys should try this Soul Calming Bun too."

After more than half of the vengeful spirits had poured out, Bearman snatched the oak staff from Blooddye's hand and kept using lightning to temper the oak staff, finally realizing that something was wrong.

"Your oak staff has been tampered with. There are some runes on it that confuse the mind. It must have been someone closest to you who tampered with it when assisting you in making the Blade of Death."

"Who do you think that person is?"

Blooddy's face turned very pale and ugly.

"It's my wife."

Bearman widened his eyes.

"You're married?"

"We have a child."

Vine Woman frowned and asked:

"So, you came to us because…"

Blooddy smiled wryly and said:

"I didn't expect that along the way, I really fell into the dark thoughts of revenge. The goal changed from finding Gaia to solve the problem to solving Gaia. It seems that my wife's influence on me is really deep~"

Attilan knew just by listening to Blooddye's words that the poor Blooddye had been calculated by the mastermind from the moment he met his wife.

If Blooddye wasn't a legendary Druid, Attilan would even suspect that the child he spoke of wasn't his.

Blooddye smiled wryly and ate a white White Tiger Bun, feeling his brain clear up a lot.

"Gaia, it seems that I can't compare to you in this life, from myself to my wife to my apprentice. Taking an ocean dragon as an apprentice, how come I'm not as creative as you."

"Especially this apprentice, who has also created a magical dish that can save me. For the grace of saving my life, I have to think carefully about what I can do to repay him."

How about handing over your Scourge School to me to lead? I will definitely be able to lead the Scourge School to create brilliant achievements again, so that the entire continent is in a state of natural balance.

But Attilan couldn't say that, looking at Blooddye with righteousness.

"Senior Blooddye, where is the grace of saving a life? Everyone is a Druid, and if we can help, we should naturally lend a hand. Everything is what I should do, no need to mention it again!"

Bearman tempered the Blade of Death with his left hand, and grabbed an Azure Dragon Bun with his right hand, saying with a smile:

"Then I won't repay him. My forest is almost not enough for him to toss around. If you repay him again, I'm afraid this kid will really be lawless and cause me big trouble that I can't stop."

The purifying power of thunder allowed Blooddye's power to continue to decline, but the purity of natural magic was increasing. It seemed that he could still maintain his legendary realm.

With hard work, he should be able to restore his current strength within a hundred years, and even reach a higher level.

"I can't not repay him, otherwise the little dragon will remember me for a lifetime."

Attilan smiled sheepishly and retreated to the side, while Leopard Woman wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and approached him.

"Do you have any more of this human head? It looks like it's very delicious, even the dead spirits seem to like it so much."

"It's gone. The last scraps were all contributed by Aunt Jaina to the respected Gaia and Grandmaster Blooddye. If you want to eat it, you'll have to wait until next time, but I just saw you coming out of the Shadow Plane."

"Your understanding and control of Shadow Energy and Shadow Plane traversal have greatly increased. You were even the first to arrive at the scene. It seems that you haven't been slacking off during this time?"

Leopard Woman raised her head triumphantly.

"Not only have I mastered Shadow Energy myself, but I also have a complete plan to help Black Panther achieve Shadow Transformation without side effects. Just tell me if I'm awesome!"

Attilan nodded in agreement.

"Awesome, very awesome. Leopard Woman, you're really promising. You've researched such a powerful thing silently. I really suspect that you've encountered a Mind Flayer."

Leopard Woman glared at Attilan.

"What do you mean!?"

Although she didn't understand, she keenly sensed that Attilan was slandering her.

Shana said coldly:

"He said that your brain was occupied by a Mind Flayer larva, so you became smarter."

"This is the Shadow Energy that I communicated and studied with the Old Urchin for a long time before mastering, and I first mastered the ability to transform into a Shadow Panther form before formulating the Shadow Transformation plan for Black Panther!"

The Old Urchin could prove this. This little girl was indeed too hardworking. In the previous ten years, she was as lazy as a cat and didn't take Druidic cultivation too seriously.

Now, in just half a year, stimulated by Attilan and toiling under Attilan, she actually took the initiative to come to him and act coquettishly, asking him to train her to master Shadow Energy.

Little Meow Sandri was so motivated for the first time, how could the Old Urchin not help her.

"Little Meow has indeed been serious this time. It's not easy to master Shadow Energy in just one month. She has suffered a lot."

Of course, Leopard Woman was able to succeed, thanks to the Old Urchin's support of Leopard Woman's exclusive secret recipe.

"I originally wanted to hide it for a while, after all, I'm not too proficient in the Shadow Panther form, but what I got in return was this little dragon's ridicule."

"I'm not pretending anymore! I have already mastered the Shadow Panther combat form!"

After saying that, Leopard Woman transformed into a huge Shadow Panther with a body length of over three meters and a shoulder height of one and a half meters, making Attilan dumbfounded. He pointed at Leopard Woman and questioned:

"Is the Shadow Panther this big?"

Leopard Woman showed off her claws flashing with Shadow Energy and struck a hunting pose towards Attilan.

"Now, do you think my attack can break through your dragon scales?"

Attilan thought that Leopard Woman was just habitually trying to save face, but he didn't expect that she really had it.

"I believe it!"

A great man can bend and stretch. Attilan decided that the next goal was to improve the defense of his dragon scales and muscles. As long as he flexed his muscles, no physical attack could pierce through!

Eagle King walked towards the Old Urchin with shining eyes.

"Senior, please help me develop the Storm Giant Eagle form!"

The Old Urchin waved his hand impatiently.

"No! I hate trouble the most."

Who knew that Eagle King just said lightly:

"Senior, the eagle claws in these Soul Calming Buns are provided by the rejected products of the Storm Giant Eagles I cultivated, which can simultaneously meet the production needs of both White Tiger and Azure Dragon buns."

The Old Urchin pretended to glance at Eagle King impatiently and asked:

"What is the best challenge rating of your current Storm Giant Eagle?"

"Challenge rating 3. I am confident that I can raise the challenge rating to 5 within ten years. With the help of the senior, I think I can definitely do even better!"

Attilan frantically signaled Leopard Woman, and she finally understood.

"Old Urchin, Eagle King is my best buddy, you can't not help him!"

"Alright, I'm really afraid of you troublesome little devils."
