Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 550 - 104 Difficulties

"The distance between the Dolan Glacier Plateau and the Elran Kingdom’s Royal Capital is not short, taking at least half a year. During this time, I can refine and comprehend the power of the Space-Time Law. If time is not enough, I will use the Gate of Truth to traverse another world, completely refine the Space-Time Law there, and then return."

Facing those possible ancient strong beings, Austin’s current strength may not be enough.

Killing an Ancient King Frost Giant with strength reduced to barely a tenth already consumed so much effort. If faced with other stronger beings, or even a divine avatar like in that great battle at the heart of the Kawa Great Forest, I would have no power to resist!

Continue cultivation for a while!

Having made up his mind, Austin started to act.

After leaving the aftermath work to the elder Kaman and the Dragon Nest Beastman Legion, and explaining some general situations, Austin once again entered closed training.

As Austin entered closed cultivation, the Dragon Nest Legion also began to withdraw from their pursuit.

After this round of war, out of the hundred thousand Frost Giants originally gathered in Nivo City, less than a mere thousand fled. The rest either died directly on the battlefield or were captured by the Dragon Nest Beastman Legion and the Dolan White Dragon.

Originally, some Dolan White Dragons, who held a deep blood feud with the Frost Giants, wanted to kill all of the captured Frost Giants.

However, facing such a large number of captured Frost Giants, the Dragon Nest Tribe eyed this batch of labor force eagerly.

After all, even though they have now developed preliminary mechanical processing amidst the tribe’s expansion, the demand for labor force remains very large.

A conflict was about to erupt.

At this moment, Quik, the Fox-faced Man and the legion’s chief of staff, came forward and said:

"Death is the easiest punishment. Rather than allowing these sinners an easy escape, it’s better to spare their lives, make them into slaves, force them to labor in service to us, living a life of unending punishment to atone for their sins."

This statement pierced the hearts of those Dolan White Dragons.

Indeed, back then these Dolan White Dragons, slaughtered by the Frost Giants, suffered family destruction, separation from loved ones, with so much blood feud impossible to cleanse.

If not for this, why would they agree to join under Austin’s banner, to launch a counterattack against the Frost Giants with an unknown future?

Such a deep sea of blood and feud.

Slaughtering these Frost Giants with one stroke would simply settle the matter for them, but how could this repay the hatred they left behind back then?

Instead of allowing them an easy release, it would be better to make them atone for their sins for a lifetime.

Thus, the hidden conflict was resolved.

Even a few Dolan White Dragons, who initially did not intend to join under Austin’s banner, in order to personally impose the oppression they once suffered on the Frost Giants, agreed to join under Austin’s banner.

The hidden conflict was easily resolved, and there were no issues with the subsequent aftermath work.

A large amount of supplies was transported from the Dragon Nest Tribe City to the Dolan Glacier Plateau through various means. The Dragon Nest Beastmen whipped the Frost Giants to drive them in the reconstruction work, and rebuilding commenced smoothly.

The entire Nivo City almost turned into a giant construction site.

Ruins were being cleared, and buildings erected.

Meanwhile, Dolan White Dragons began forming small teams, together with elite soldiers from the Dragon Nest Beastmen, to scour nearby remaining Frost Giant tribes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Dragon Nest Beastman Legion not only honed their cooperation with the Dolan White Dragons but also sought to deeply grasp the Dolan Glacier Plateau more firmly into the tribe’s hands.

All went smoothly with the aftermath work.

It is conceivable that in no time, a new city will rise on the Dolan Glacier Plateau.

Here, Dolan White Dragons can freely enter the city to rest.

The commercial activities with other intelligent life on the Dolan Glacier Plateau will also commence alongside the reconstruction of Nivo City and the involvement of the Dragon Nest Beastman Legion.

Various agricultural and industrial products produced by the Dragon Nest Beastmen will more deeply integrate into the entire social structure of the Dolan Glacier Plateau with their presence.

Through these commercial activities, the Dragon Nest Tribe will better explore and understand this broader heaven and earth of the Dolan Glacier Plateau.

...

Just as the Dragon Nest Beastman Tribe’s grand construction began, Austin, in closed cultivation, encountered a problem.

At the onset of his retreat, Austin mainly focused on integrating the Frost Law Origin into the Sword Realm.

This task did not take Austin too much time, as the Frost Law Origin plundered from the battlefield was quickly refined and integrated into the Sword Realm by Austin.

However, perhaps due to the limitation of the Sword Realm in swallowing the Frost Law Origin,

the Sword Realm didn’t effortlessly digest all of the Frost Law Origin as before.

It was like a person who had overstuffed themselves.

Naturally, no transformation occurred.

The Power of Extreme Cold within the Sword Realm space grew slightly stronger, but no essential changes took place.

However, since the Frost Law Origin was being continuously digested, albeit slowly, one day the Sword Realm space would fully absorb it. Therefore, though disappointed, Austin wasn’t overly concerned.

Thus Austin set aside the Sword Realm space, allowing it to digest on its own.

And directed his focus to the next phase of refining the Space-Time Law Origin.

But in refining the Space-Time Law Origin, he encountered a significant challenge.

Too slow!

After refining part of the Space Law Origin before, Austin’s refinement progress became extremely slow, which was one of the reasons he exited retreat previously.

And now, after days of effort, the amount of Space Law Origin refined was barely a trace.

To fully refine it would take at least ten years.

This speed was utterly despairing to Austin.

As for Time, its edge has not even been touched.

It’s difficult, too difficult!

These two forces aren’t so easily mastered indeed.

In this regard, Austin had some suspicions.

Previously, he could refine Law Origins so easily because those ordinary Law Origins were inherently easy to refine, and he also had some foundation in using those powers.

He could refine part of the Space Law Origin because, while fighting, he often broke space, gaining one or two insights into the Power of Space.

But going deeper, it was simply a foggy mess.

For this reason, he couldn’t refine and integrate the remaining Space-Time Law Origin.

Of course, this is also related to the Space-Time Law being an incredibly hard-to-comprehend Law Power, tens to hundreds of times more difficult than ordinary Law Origins.

Various reasons culminated in this result.

"It seems to accelerate the speed, I can only traverse other worlds, see if I can find insights about Space-Time Power in the Otherworld, then use this as a key to open the door to the Space-Time Law Origin..."

Thinking of this, Austin quickly made up his mind.

The figure sitting in the void closed his eyes.

His Heart Spirit sank into the depths of his mind, communicating with the broken Gate of Truth.
