Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Undercurrents
On the blood-red plain, the moving moans gradually turned into passionate gasps, accompanied by the sound of physical collisions. These sounds intertwined with everything else, composing a beautiful symphony of life.

As the breathing gradually subsided, conversations began to pick up again.

Enzo gently caressed Freya’s smooth skin and couldn’t help but ask, “Freya, can we go another round?”

Freya’s face changed slightly and she rolled her eyes, but she didn’t refuse.

In the soul world, any sense seemed to be magnified countless times. Every thrust of Enzo brought a sense of fulfillment and the pleasure of primitive sexual desire, which Freya greatly enjoyed. And this feeling directly appeared in the depths of the soul consciousness, which was a great pleasure on the spiritual level, not the physical one.

She couldn’t resist.

So Enzo picked up Freya and placed her legs around his waist.

Freya shouted again.

“Oh… Enzo… slow down a bit… it’s so comfortable.”

This was the blood-red Plain, the soul world that Freya herself belonged to. She had not suppressed her sexual desire at all. With repeated physical collisions, the two of them once again felt an electric shock.

Time had passed for a while, and even with Enzo’s mental strength, he felt somewhat exhausted.

Freya was even more debilitated, collapsing onto the grass and falling asleep instantly.

The blood-red plain began to change.

The beasts and human corpses turned to dust and scattered, as a huge, red sunset appeared in the sky. The blood-red plain’s weeds gradually turned a bluish-green, yet under the sunset’s crimson light, the entire plain still seemed blood-red. Freya lay on the grass, peacefully asleep, with a contented smile on her face.

At that moment, Enzo understood that the curse had been completely lifted.

He crouched down and gave Freya one last kiss on the cheek before his consciousness left the blood-red plain.

…

In the bamboo tower, Enzo’s bedroom.

Standing by the bed, Enzo opened his eyes and immediately looked at Freya, relieved to see the blood-red mark on her forehead had disappeared.

He then turned his gaze to Mina.

Mina’s soul floated in midair, her hands constantly waving as if she were tinkering with something.

His smile was bright, but combined with his odd appearance, it made him look quite sinister, resembling a schemer.

“Oh, Enzo, you’re back?”

“How does it feel? It must be quite amazing, right?”

Seeing Enzo, Mina stopped his movements and asked with a smile.

Mina noticed Enzo’s lack of a smile and his cold demeanor.

Was there a problem with it?

Mina’s expression shifted, realizing something was wrong.

At that time, Enzo asked, “Mina, do you know Melissa and Rexfit?”

Mina’s face changed drastically, and he responded with a somber tone, “Where did you hear those names?”

Enzo calmly replied, “I’ve already encountered them.”

“What!” Mina exclaimed in shock, instinctively asking, “Then how are you still alive?”

There was really more to the story!

After confirming this, Enzo replied, “So, you mean I shouldn’t be alive?”

Mina shook his head repeatedly and explained, “I know a lot about Rexfit and Melissa, but I can’t tell you everything. Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t a good thing. The only thing I can tell you is to stay away from Rexfit and avoid any involvement with him. As for Melissa, it’s best not to get involved with her either. While she’s not cruel, she can still bring trouble.”

Enzo replied, “Your warning is too late.”

Mina asked in confusion, “What do you mean?”

Enzo shared his experiences with Mina: “Firstly, I’ve already encountered Rexfit. He claimed to be the Beast God and tried to take over my body, but I killed him. Secondly, in Freya’s soul world, I met Melissa. She wants Freya to become her proxy.”

These two revelations shocked Mina indeed.

Mina hovered beside Enzo, scrutinizing him as if he were some sort of monster.

In the end, he could only say helplessly, “I really don’t understand.”

After speaking, Mina lost interest in staying in the external world and dove into the stone tablet of the barren mountain, returning to his Potion Hut.

Soon, Freya woke up.

Seeing Enzo beside her made her feel at ease.

Enzo noticed Freya waking up as well. He reached out to pull her up, but the moment he touched her, she seemed to be shocked, her body trembling, skin rapidly reddening, and her breath becoming erratic. Weakly, she said, “Enzo, I… I don’t have the strength. You… let go of me first…”

Enzo was puzzled, “What’s happening?”

Freya gasped for breath and explained, “I don’t know. When your hand grabs me, some of the things we did before come to my mind, and it brings great pleasure to my mind and body, which I can’t suppress.”

Enzo’s expression turned strange.

So, this was the “small consequence” Mina mentioned?

Given the situation, Enzo had no choice but to release his grip.

Fortunately, after the curse was lifted and Freya’s strength was restored, she quickly shook off the sensation. She sat up from the bed, merely looking at Enzo without saying a word.

At this moment, no one knew what Freya was thinking.

Enzo, curious, asked, “What’s wrong?”

Freya shook her head slightly, her face still flushed.

Just then, Amy arrived, breaking the odd atmosphere. Though she had no hostility toward Freya, the presence of another woman near Enzo left her feeling a bit disappointed.

Amy had come to inform Enzo about the tribe’s situation.

She said, “Lord Enzo, many tribe members want to go to Rivaille Forest.”

Enzo asked, “What’s the purpose of going there?”

The terrain of Rivaille Forest is similar to a jungle but is fundamentally different. In Rivaille Forest, many supernatural species thrive, and these supernatural beings dominate the area. Although there are some human tribes, their numbers are relatively few.

In other words, Rivaille Forest was a stronghold for supernatural creatures.

It was said that within the forest, there were some special groups, but few people had actually seen them.

Amy explained, “It’s because of the Tower of Sacrifice.”

After setting up the Ring of the World Ritual, Enzo had added two new facilities to the ritual square:Firstborn Blessing Spa and the Tower of Sacrifice.

Both of these facilities are derivatives of the Ring of the World’s powers.

The Firstborn Blessing Spa can enhance the resistance of newborn babies or beast cubs, improving their innate abilities. Although the effects may not be immediately noticeable, it is crucial for the tribe’s future development.

The Tower of Sacrifice, on the other hand, essentially replaces some of the work done by the tribe’s priests.

The tribe members only need to offer the essence of supernatural beings through the Tower of Sacrifice to gain supernatural abilities, thereby embarking on the path of the supernatural and becoming totem warriors.

This excited many tribe members.

As in this harsh world, power was the ultimate pursuit for most people.

Understanding this, Enzo did not immediately nod in agreement or oppose the idea. Instead, he instructed Amy, “As long as the tribe’s requests do not harm the tribe’s interests, they can be granted. After all, the Crimson Star Tribe is too peaceful right now, which is not necessarily a good thing. Without facing trials, we cannot grow.”

Amy responded, “Lord Enzo, I understand.”

She then left to handle matters in the council hall.

Witnessing all this, Freya smiled and said, “Amy? It’s clear that the kitsune girl cares about you a lot and knows how to take care of others. With that in mind, I can leave with peace of mind.”

Enzo, maintaining a calm demeanor, asked, “Are you really decided?”

Freya nodded and said earnestly, “Yes, as you mentioned, without experiencing hardships, one cannot grow. This time, I’ve seen my own weakness and understood the barrenness of the Barren Mountain region. Although to many, the Barren Mountain region seems vast and a place they can never escape from in their lifetime, that’s only true for ordinary people. I don’t want to stay here forever. I need to become stronger!”

Enzo understood Freya’s feelings.

Having experienced despair himself, he knew the intense drive for power that followed.

He reassured her, “I support you. And no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will be behind you.”

Freya smiled, pleased with his promise.

She headed outside, saying, “Thank you, Enzo. I’m going to take a walk around the camp and chat with Miss Amy. You don’t need to come along.”

Enzo stopped, understanding Freya’s intention.

He smiled and sat down, taking out the stone tablet of the barren mountain to browse through the Potion knowledge recorded on it.

Though Enzo no longer needed to complete tasks to obtain cursed essence potions, and had even hired Mina as the Crimson Star Tribe’s potion master with the Water of Life. He was not willing to overlook the potion knowledge.

This knowledge was a form of intellectual inheritance that would deepen his understanding of the world and the supernatural.

As Enzo immersed himself in the study of potion knowledge, unusual activity began to stir in various locations: The exile camp at Qaidam Lake, the Golden Lion Tribe, and the depths of Plata Plain.

The sky darkened, signaling that a storm was imminent.
