As the whale and their group moved toward the base in the mountain, they felt that the forest, once dark and radiating danger from all sides, now felt just like a dark and oppressive place, but with almost no danger.
Alm and Bruno sighed. Previously, the draconic races were fighting the Red Disciple for the Yinblood jewelry, but all those races had fled and abandoned the sect. Mistie had said it was because the Shadow God Sect was targeting them. However, Alm and Bruno knew that with the Chaos Yin Dragon sealed on this planet, it was impossible for that terrifying sect to invade and become a threat to their existence.
’Probably, just like the clan members who were traveling with the Shadow God Sect, the beasts were too,’ Alm commented unemotionally. ’Mistie didn’t say, but it seems like these races made some move. To flee, abandoning all benefits, something big must have happened internally.’
Bruno nodded. ’The Yinblood jewelry was just a benefit for the young beasts. The powerful ones were given something hidden within the sect. Maybe they stole it with the help of the Shadow God Sect.’

’Yeah, those bastards stole something that should have been ours, so we’ll have to hunt them down later. But the main issue now is something else,’ Alm said dryly.
Now, the entire Yinblood Sect had turned into a tree with its roots cut off. The training system for the young disciples in the forest became useless without the beasts. The place was too large for just the Red Disciples; everyone was now on a simple treasure hunt in the forest and would hardly find other disciples to fight. There was almost no danger, and the amount of Yinblood jewelry had practically doubled; there was no reason for the disciples to kill each other for it.
The next generation of Gray Disciples would be a thousand times weaker, and this sect, which was already doomed, would fall rapidly. Perhaps that was one reason the elders accepted Alm and Bruno’s changes to some rules; the previous training method wasn’t working.
’First, we need to deal with this. Fortunately, we have a quick solution,’ Bruno commented as the entire group arrived at the location.
The whale didn’t stop there; it just continued to bring the entire army of draconic beasts that Ruri was in charge of. It then ordered them to abandon the place and move to the center of Dragonkin Haven Forest.
They took a day to reach a mountain range that was the exact central point. It was a perfect spot.
"Ruri, we’re counting on you."
The whale said, handing over a spatial ring with all the millions of Essentia Crystals they had. That was the currency of the divine realm in the queen’s universe for a reason: it was a unique and terrifying crystal that contained all natural energies in their purest form, perfect for various uses.
The Level Two Dao of the Formation God they had bought and given to Ruri recently would be pushed to its limit now. Alm and Bruno had skimmed through it just to get an idea of what could be done. At this level, the Seven-Color Supreme Runes, which were the basic runes created by this god, could multiply permanently and integrate into formations, becoming their core.
Ruri had previously had a few dozen of these runes and could create more at a great cost. But now, she could make infinite ones using the Essentia Crystals as sustenance, and with the new level, these runes would remain permanently in the formation.
What’s the advantage? With these special runes as the base of the formation, no matter the cultivator’s level; even if the queen herself tried to invade the formation, it would be impossible. Only someone with the same runes, meaning the god or his disciples, could surpass the formation’s rules. If someone tried to force it, the runes would explode, and everything would blow up.
"Create a formation connecting the entire mountain range. This will be a special fortress on this planet." The whale said calmly to Ruri, who gave a serious look. "You’ll need to complete Level Two quickly to manage it; it will be a tough training. But I also have another level of that other technique... I’m waiting for you to finish."
Alm was obviously referring to the Level Two of the dual technique they had bought. Ruri would have to work hard to complete Level Two of the Dao of the Formation God, and they couldn’t waste too much time. It was an effective incentive, and as soon as Alm finished speaking, her eyes sparkled and began radiating an incredible willpower.
She waved with a smile and ran off to start the work. Alm and Bruno sighed, knowing they’d have trouble dealing with her later.
The rest of the group moved to the central mountain and set up the new base. Alm and Bruno dug a hole and went as deep as they could. Once there, they activated their Behemoth bloodline and connection to the earth to the max, then used the Golem God rune.
With the fusion of these two powers, Alm and Bruno could easily sense all the golems underground on the Gloom planet. Golems existed on almost all rocky planets, but it was very rare for one to surface and interact with the world before dying.
But this problem was solved with the Golem God Dao, and the Queen had prevented the spread of this knowledge to stop the prosperity of this race. Now, Alm and Bruno were getting a lot of benefits for doing this work.
They easily sensed the presence of millions of small stones with very primitive and simple life. With the Golem God rune, Alm and Bruno managed to connect and send a message to all the golems. Even though they were simple life forms with no intelligence, they received the basic Dao directly in their minds. Instinctively, they would create a heart of earth and be drawn to where the whale was.
After sending the message, Alm and Bruno focused right there and set a copy of the Golem God rune in place. Through it, the complete Dao would be transmitted to all the golems.
There were millions of golems, but a few thousand were in a more advanced natural evolutionary state. Soon after creating the heart of earth, they would be able to emerge into the world.
Without the draconic beasts in the forest, the golems would now be the adversaries of the disciples. But the rules would need to be changed.
This location would be sealed by a formation and become the golems’ fortress. They would be protected, and all who were born on the planet would gather there, being the only ones able to enter. In the future, Alm and Bruno would spread the basic Dao of the Golem God to other places, causing the golems to move to Gloom Planet to receive the rest of the knowledge. Soon, the population of golems would be massive.
Alm and Bruno had already prepared the new rules. This forest would be renamed to: Earth King Haven Forest.
They would leave behind the legacy of the Golem God, but wouldn’t miss the chance to gain more followers for themselves; their faith would be the foundation of the rules there. The sect would need to create a new category of members, with the golems as loyal allies helping the Fey, but being their own separate organization, living in symbiosis on the planet.
Golems were pure life forms and rarely greedy. With their rules and religion, there would be no risk of external infiltration and betrayal.
Having two forces on the planet was the best way to balance things. With just one power monopolizing everything, it would dictate the rules and do whatever it wanted to benefit itself. With the golems around, they would need to come to an agreement, and no big idiot could mess everything up alone, as the other side would retaliate.
The golems would be encouraged to go out and search for the Yinblood jewelry, which they could trade in the sect for resources like all the disciples. This way, there would be competition and beneficial training for everyone.
But this fortress within the formation would be a safe place and home for golems who didn’t want to cultivate and chose to live in peace, just like the Fey who lived in the forest on the planet.
It took a week for the whale to finish everything. The first batch of hundreds of golems was already close to the rune underground studying. They helped a bit, and soon they would be able to interact with the world by cultivating. Alm and Bruno would provide them with resources and knowledge, and since they were in the divine world, they would quickly cultivate in the mortal realms.
’In a year, a few thousand powerful golems will be able to start training with the Red Disciples in the forest,’ Bruno said calmly. ’Ruri just needs to finish the formation and...’
A message from Ruri interrupted him. The whale moved to the surface quickly. Then, they saw the entire area, the size of a small city, surrounded by a colorful, pulsating formation.
The space distorted next to the whale. "All set, master, just configure it as you wish." Ruri’s voice sounded, as if she could hardly wait.
Alm and Bruno slightly grunted when they saw her smiling and excited look. Ruri immediately hugged their arms, and they felt her heart beating uncontrollably. They accepted that they would have to pay a lot of attention to her for a while. So, they dug another isolated spot underground and stayed there together.
