Chapter 277: Risky Assault

This trip to the Green Tree Ruins brought not only the benefits of the White Mountain God’s reward and the natural gifts from purifying defilement, which enhanced his divine power through the fusion of bloodlines, but also another advantage!
That was the Truth Book, which had recorded the spatial coordinates of the realm where the polluted energy resided. Once back in the main world, he could open a passage to purify more polluted forces and gain gifts from the Natural Will. However, this was a perilous task akin to walking on a tightrope—even bold individuals like Donald had to proceed with extreme caution. He could only attempt it after reaching the Legendary realm. Although he now possessed the power to purify, he lacked the White Mountain God’s ability to seal realm passages at will. A single mistake could trigger a global disaster.
After returning from the Green Tree Ruins, Donald did not head back to the Anchor Three Islands. Instead, following the guidance of the Snowstream God and the Golden Sand God, he joined forces to defeat the totem deities of several evil factions along the edge of the Great Snow Mountains.
Though they were merely Golden Totem Gods, the rewards were substantial—four precious fragments of divine essence in total. Donald took all the divine artifacts and one fragment for himself and Uther, while the remaining three were divided equally among Vincent and the other two.
Of course, Donald transformed their divine domains into attributes suitable for them, and he acquired several new domains not covered in the Codex of Gods. Though these were not high-level laws, they filled gaps in the Codex. If all lower-level laws were collected, the Codex could be used to deduce even higher-level laws. At that point, obtaining divine powers would simply require paying divine energy, something even the gods could not do. This showed just how incredibly powerful and extraordinary the Codex was—a being that resembled a divine artifact yet was not one.
As for the indigenous humans in those tribes, Donald certainly wouldn’t let them be divided among other totem gods. He brought them all to his semi-realm. He selected a group of elites and children to stay, while the rest were relocated to the Anchor Three Islands. Even so, the population of his semi-realm had risen to 1,300, hardly less than the actual population of his domain, Dalaran!
After defeating four Golden Totem Gods in a row, half a month had passed. Donald decided to pull off one last major operation before leaving the Totem Continent realm.

This time, the target was chosen to be a legendary totem god located 1,200 miles east of the Iron Anchor Three Islands—the Bull God, the guardian deity of the Bull Tribe! Speaking of this Bull God, although it contains the word “bull,” its actual form is that of a mutated carnivorous animal; it is no longer the same as a normal bull. Not only is it ferocious by nature, but it is also extremely bloodthirsty, enjoying tearing apart its prey and drinking their blood. It is truly a totem god of the evil faction… and one of the most troublesome sources of chaos and evil. With such a god, one can imagine the style of the ordinary people in the Bull Tribe—they take pride in strength, brutality, and bloodshed, and sometimes even show signs of cannibalism. These once advanced, intelligent humans have been reduced back to a barbaric state by that Bull God. All the surrounding totem gods despise this Bull God, but they cannot stand up to it because it has a powerful patron: the Semi-Mythical Totem God, the Stone Bear God. The Stone Bear God is a powerful Semi-Mythical Totem God from the northern part of the Totem Continent. The Bull God has been following it from the beginning as one of its subordinates. However, even other tribes under the Stone Bear God cannot tolerate the brutality of the Bull God and its tribe, so the Stone Bear God can only banish the Bull God to the southwestern region, far from its own territory, to let it cause trouble elsewhere! “Is my lord really going after the Bull God?” asked the Iron Anchor God anxiously. Donald gave him a reassuring look. “Don’t worry! I’m confident enough. As long as no one knows about our relationship with you, it won’t pose any danger to you!” Donald wasn’t acting out of a desire to eradicate evil for justice—he didn’t have such noble motives. Instead, it was because the Bull God was the most notorious legendary totem god in a radius of thousands of miles, and the only one whose patron was thousands of miles away. With their strength, being careful should be enough to deal with the Bull God and its tribe before the Stone Bear God could arrive to rescue them. Moreover, for the Iron Anchor God, this capricious and brutal Bull God also posed a threat. Around the Bull Tribe were gods with powerful patrons; those without any patrons had long been devoured by the Bull God. Over the years, even when the Bull God wanted blood to drink, it would go hunting far away rather than committing atrocities near its own territory.

The Iron Anchor Three Islands were located at just the right distance from the Bull Tribe—neither too close nor too far. Who knew when trouble might strike? Although the Iron Anchor God was growing in strength rapidly, he still couldn’t compare to the established totem gods who had been legendary for hundreds of years. Moreover, it was said that the Bull Tribe already had a large number of gold-tier warriors, as well as one legendary human warrior—the chief of the Bull Tribe. That’s why Donald and his group targeted the Bull God even more, indirectly eliminating a potential threat to the development of the Iron Anchor God!

When they explained this situation to the Iron Anchor God, his loyalty to Donald as his master soared to extremely high levels.

However, despite their numerical advantage, and out of concern for possible retaliation from the Stone Bear God in the future, Donald prevented the Iron Anchor God from participating in this operation. Their retreat route would also not be near the Iron Anchor Three Islands, to avoid the Stone Bear God going berserk and casually destroying one or two totem gods or tribes as a way to vent his anger.

After formulating a simple yet thorough plan, Donald and his group set off together. When it came time to act, the plan could be adjusted as circumstances evolved.

When the five of them arrived near the Bull Tribe, it was already dark at night. Donald decided that timing was crucial, so they would carry out the operation that very night.

Against one legendary totem god and one legendary human warrior, they already had the strength and experience to confront them head-on. As long as Carlisle kept busy dealing with the strongest of them—the Bull God—the other four could work together to quickly take down the other, weaker legendary warrior: the chief of the Bull Tribe.

The remaining Bull God would then be easy to handle. The more troublesome part was that there were several gold-tier warriors in the Bull Tribe. Although their strength wasn’t considered significant by the group, if they intervened at a critical moment in the battle, it could greatly affect the outcome.

So Donald’s plan was to first launch a sneak attack to kill these gold-tier Bull warriors, and then confront the two legendary warriors head-on. Since they hadn’t planned to sneak attack the Bull God or the Bull Tribe in the first place, even if their initial actions alerted those enemies, it wouldn’t disrupt their plan.

The initial operation went perfectly. After taking care of four of them together, the remaining three were also eliminated in three separate groups. Carlisle handled one by himself, while the others worked in pairs. Was it difficult to sneak attack a gold-tier warrior?

The seven Golden Bull Warriors were all eliminated in just a few breaths, causing no major disturbance in the Bull Tribe. However, when they teleported over and dealt with the first four Golden Warriors, the Bull God, who served as their guardian, sensed it immediately. Perhaps because no one had dared to challenge them for a long time and they had grown accustomed to peace, the Bull Tribe was slow to react. In that brief moment of hesitation, the remaining three Golden Warriors also met their deaths.

“Huh…”

A roar of extreme fury came from the heart of the Bull Tribe.

Everyone in the tribe was awakened from their sleep. They knew it was the voice of their enraged god. Who had provoked such anger in the great god?

The chief of the Bull Tribe, a legendary warrior, burst out of his room through the shattered roof. Upon seeing outsiders intruding into the tribe, he was filled with rage.

“Ugh…”

The Bull Chief let out a monstrous roar, calling for his Golden Warriors, but received no response. Now he understood exactly what these outsiders had done.

The Bull God, who had already sensed that his elite Golden Warriors had been swiftly eliminated, appeared in the sky, seething with anger. With blood-red eyes, he attacked Donald and his group without saying a word.
