Beauty Portraits: I Build a Harem in Another World

Page 75

This is because these alien races on the Creation Continent can possess the strength of the seventh or eighth rank even at birth. Some special races are even more terrifying, like dragons, which are born at the tenth rank and can reach around the sixteenth rank by adulthood. If they live to be five thousand years old, they can easily surpass the eighteenth rank, and if they break through ten thousand years old, they can even reach the twentieth rank or higher!

There are also the Behemoths of the orc race, who can reach level 15 upon adulthood. In addition, it is perfectly normal for some high-level magical beasts to reach level 12 or 13 upon adulthood. Those with slightly more talent can even grow to level 20!

Not to mention the various alien races that can cultivate and have divine blessings. Would I say that every elder in the Elf race has the strength of a level 20 or higher?

Even ordinary elves, once they reach adulthood, can often be around fourteen or fifteen tiers in strength...

Seeing this, you might think, "Isn't the difference in strength too great? Humans are simply being crushed on the Creation Continent!"

Can this still survive?

That's right. Humans were indeed slaves of various races at the beginning. But this extremely weak race, this lowly race that was despised by the gods, ridiculed by various races, and even enslaved for thousands of years, almost became the strongest race to unify the world!

Unbelievable, isn't it? Mei ne ne yong me ne kong ni lin zai zai me ne...

But this is indeed true, because the history of humankind is a miracle, a miracle that even the gods could not have imagined. Even Granken had to exclaim, "What made all this possible was the will of humankind!"

Because no matter how many reforms the human race has undergone, it can never erase the fact that they created history with dregs. Even the creator, Granken, laughed in anger at the time, looking at this cowardly, stupid, cunning, and timid new race!

But he failed to notice that the soul of the foul water gave humanity the belief to never give up in adversity; the soul of the dying fire brought humanity a flame called hope, small yet eternal; the soul of the polluted wasteland built humanity's desire for growth; and the soul of the raging wind made human life as short as a shooting star, yet yearning for brilliance!

Newborn humans were utterly useless; they were enslaved and assigned to all sorts of menial tasks, their lives no different from those of livestock. But humans did not give up; they waited, waiting for the day they could break free from this miserable fate.

In fact, humanity ultimately succeeded; they escaped slavery and finally achieved equality with the other major races...

Eve, the youngest daughter of the two giants, was carefree and had no responsibilities. She happily created poetry and music, which was perhaps the happiest time for her.

But not long after, a civil war broke out among the gods. Eva watched as her loved ones slaughtered each other before her eyes, and countless gods and demons died in the war. Faced with her mother's wrath and her sister who had been sealed with seven seals and could never return to the world of death, she was powerless.

Later, when people talked about this goddess, they all laughed at her for being cowardly, for being afraid to take on the position of water goddess, for digging a hole to hide, and for causing the earth to flood. She could only silently protest against her mother who had killed her sister. Even now, Eva is unwilling to admit that she is the water goddess. She tells people of all races again and again that the water goddess is her sister, not her.

Later generations also mocked the giant, who overestimated his abilities and rebelled against the gods.

But who would willingly be manipulated by others? Why should the giants, born alongside the gods, become their puppets? Are the gods always right? Don't gods deserve punishment for their mistakes?

The brave giants wanted to control their own destiny; they wanted to no longer be manipulated by the gods, so they chose to rebel...

But the giants' fate was a joke; Einhasad destroyed everything.

Then this so-called goddess of creation and order gained nothing but fear and hatred from others, so she left, ostensibly because she was too disappointed with the creatures on earth, but in reality, she had no face to stay.

Because on this earth, no race will ever again worship her or love her. She gave them nothing but creation, and destroyed most of the creatures on earth!

However, after the giants lost control of the continent of creation, the other races created by the gods began endless conflicts, and at this time, humanity, which had endured humiliation for many years, finally had a chance to turn the tide.

Just when the elves were driven to the brink of despair by the orcs, the human king knelt before the elven queen Marionna. This king, wearing a crown made of tree branches, used his dignity and humble words to secure the rise of humanity... The elves agreed to teach humanity martial arts and magic.

More than a hundred years later, the addition of a massive human army enabled the elves to finally win the war against the orcs, but did the elves truly consider humans their friends?

From the very beginning, they only wanted to use humans. The arrogant elves hurt the human race's pride time and time again. Not every human has the magnanimity to tolerate their insults.

The orcs have been mocking the humans, saying that they won because of their numerical superiority. But do the elves know how many human families lost husbands and children in this war?

The victory that humanity won with blood and tears, yet the elves showed no gratitude whatsoever.

Humans, who had been manipulated for thousands of years, once again proved themselves with their formidable fighting power, driving the elves back to the forest...

Chapter 196: The Island of Talking is Actually a Prison

But at this moment, Einhasad sent three winged angels to bestow upon the human emperor divinely blessed blood and power... This creator goddess, in order to expand her power and utterly destroy Celine's followers, shamelessly aided the race she despised most, with the sole aim of seizing the fruits of humanity's victory.

After seizing dominance over the continent, humanity carried out a major religious reform as promised and established the Church of Light.

Given the circumstances at the time, this was a last resort. After all, humanity was created from the dregs of civilization, and other races would never willingly accept being on equal footing with humanity. For the sake of lasting peace, humanity had no choice but to accept Einhasad's conditions.

But there is no doubt that this era produced an abundance of talented people. The stoic and resilient chieftain of the Etina tribe, Snemann, became an emperor to whom even Einhasad was willing to bestow power.

Desparion then instigated a civil war among the elves, leading to their complete decline and giving humanity the opportunity to defeat the powerful elves...

Raoul unified the entire human kingdom without letting his soldiers shed a single drop of blood!

Then, the young Pope Amadeo, who ascended the throne at the age of 16, actually led his army to repel the attack of the Glecia and made the three races sign a peace treaty. Also, Leonalhangt actually went alone to the rampaging water dragon and made it willingly go to sleep!

While Einhasad's arrival and the power she bestowed certainly increased humanity's leverage in the fight against the alien races, it was also a double-edged sword. In fact, if it weren't for Einhasad's subsequent actions, humanity might still have a place on the Creation Continent today... (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)

As mentioned earlier, dragons are the children of Celine, which should have been a good thing. Unfortunately, they are the offspring of Granken and Celine, which is why dragons possess immense power, as well as ugly and enormous appearances. Moreover, due to their origin, dragons are naturally lewd, which is why so many magical beasts with dragon blood have emerged outside.

After the war of the gods ended, the dragons roamed freely across the continent. Because of their overwhelming strength, no one dared to provoke them. However, the dragons, who were at the top of the food chain, did not possess the wisdom and magnanimity of the giants. They were also unwilling to manage the chaotic post-war continent and become puppets of the gods. Therefore, they simply acted according to their own desires and enjoyed life.

But without a doubt, the dragons have always been a thorn in Einhasad's side. She originally planned to settle the score with the dragons after the war of the gods once she had the time, but at this time the giants also rebelled. After suppressing the giants, Einhasad could no longer personally deal with the dragons, so she handed the matter over to the humans...

Over the next few centuries, under Einhasad's guidance, humanity acquired a method to seal the six primordial dragons. However, they struggled to find a way to permanently maintain the seal. But humans are cunning and clever by nature. They instigated internal strife among the elves and took the opportunity to trick the dark elves into revealing the curse of immortality within Celine's corrupted dark magic. Using this curse, humans successfully transformed some suicide squads into immortal skeletons, enabling them to eternally guard the sealing barrier.

Einhaisa succeeded; with her help, the six primordial dragons, the first and most powerful offspring of Celine, were successfully sealed away by humans…

It was at this time that the dragon race developed an irreconcilable hatred for humans, and thus began their frenzied revenge against them!

Even more terrifying, sensing Celine's wrath, the demon army—the same 'Lillian' forces that stormed the heavens to fight the gods—awakened from the underground. They unleashed a frenzied massacre on humanity across the continent. Humanity was utterly helpless against these out-of-control and immortal monsters, utterly powerless to resist, and could only pray for Einhasad's intervention to save them…

Fortunately, Einhasad eventually intervened to save humanity. She took a significant portion of humanity to the Talking Island, far from the continent of creation, and erected a barrier at sea. No race from the continent of creation could cross this barrier, thus preventing them from threatening humanity's survival.

But Einhasad intervened to save humanity not because she was particularly kind, nor because she had reverted to her original benevolent mother goddess; she simply reaped immense benefits during this period!

It is important to understand that, given the vast number of humans, when all of them begin to worship her, that immense power of faith can quickly transform into her divine power and heal her injuries…

After all, on the current Creation Continent, apart from humans, no other race is willing to worship her anymore!

So now you all understand, right? The reason Einhasad placed humans on the Island of Talking was simply to keep them captive and thus obtain a vast amount of faith power!

The problem is that the humans left behind on the continent of creation by Einhasad did not actually perish. Although they experienced extremely unbearable past events and a dark and hopeless era, the only advantage of these humans, who combined four types of damaged souls, was that they never gave up...

Of course, Qin Feng didn't care about that.

He has only one thought right now: how can he reach the Continent of Creation, broaden his horizons, and experience life in a real other world?

Yes, in Qin Feng's opinion, his current life on Talking Island doesn't even qualify as another world!

Those legendary, beautiful elves, those crude and unrestrained orcs, those short and wiry dwarves, and those winged... birdmen, and of course, the children of Celine, and those terrifying dragons—Qin Feng didn't see a single one, did he?

According to Einhasa, the barrier between the Island of Talking and the Continent of Creation is one-sided. That is to say, people on the Continent of Creation or other races cannot go to the Island of Talking, but people on the Island of Talking can go to the Continent of Creation. So, if Qin Feng knows the direction, can he cross the vast ocean by boat and finally reach the Continent of Creation?

This is theoretically possible.

The problem is, putting aside the numerous dangers lurking in this vast starry sea, just the distance between the Island of Talk and the Creation Continent alone, at the current speed of the seagoing vessel, would take Qin Feng at least half a year to possibly reach the Creation Continent. And that's assuming the shortest straight-line distance is perfectly straight, and ideally, he can't encounter any storms, waves, or other unexpected events...

But how is this possible?

So under normal circumstances, it would take a year to travel by boat to the Creation Continent.

Isn't that a bit too much?

Is there a faster way?

Uh... absolutely none?

Because Einhasa wanted to ensure the safety of this group of humans, she deliberately placed Talking Island far away from the Creation Continent. Otherwise, if the distance were too close, the dragons could reach it quickly, and Talking Island would likely be devastated soon. Of course, she still felt it was a bit unsafe, since dragons don't need to rest when they fly. They can fly for months without landing if they want. So, she finally set up a barrier around Talking Island so that no creature could get close.

Qin Feng was helpless about this. No matter how bored he was, he couldn't possibly abandon the Great Qin Empire, take a ship for more than a year to travel around the Creation Continent, and then take a ship for more than a year to return... The most important thing is that you don't know what you might encounter on the way. If something happens, you'll be left helpless on the vast ocean, calling out to heaven and earth, which would be truly speechless.

Moreover, Qin Feng initially thought that if the distance wasn't too far, he could fly there in ten or fifteen days by riding a griffin or something, and then he would definitely go and take a look. But now, he should give up on that idea completely!

But sometimes things just happen that way; when you give up hope, things take a turn for the better...

After learning of Qin Feng's thoughts, Yin Haisa seemed somewhat hesitant. However, she later told Qin Feng a way to quickly and safely reach the Creation Continent, although this method was not so easy to implement!

Chapter 197: The Qin Empire Unifies the Continent in Twenty Years

You all remember what I mentioned earlier about the giants' rebellion, right?

As a race born alongside the gods and the complete rulers of the early Genesis Continent, the giants possessed superior intelligence and technology. They even raised their cities into the sky and developed 'perpetual motion energy' using magic and alchemy to support the needs of their sky cities.

Unfortunately, after the giants chose to rebel and attempted to replace the gods, Einhasad ruthlessly annihilated them. Most of the giants' sky cities perished, and now only one remains, barely intact, wandering like a ghost in the boundless sky.

It was the capital of the Age of Giants, Nordrid.

Because Einhasad sealed the giant clan chief, Hyrumen, within the energy core of this sky city...

This was an extremely terrible punishment. Hailumen's limbs were chopped off, and he lost control of everything except his head, which was sealed in the energy core. Even his head was subjected to the scorching of holy flames day and night, making it impossible for him to rest, think, or know anything about the outside world!

However, the most important point is that Hellman's power will be continuously drained by the Sky City. Once he stops supplying power, then the Sky City Nordrid, which represents the greatest achievement of the Age of Giants, will fall completely from the sky.

At that time, there will be no trace of the giants left on the entire continent of creation...

As the patriarch of the giant race, Helumen was naturally unwilling to see this scene, so he gritted his teeth and endured it for tens of thousands of years, persisting for ten thousand years without eating or sleeping. To this day, he still lingers alone with Nordridt, wandering aimlessly in the skies of the Creation Continent, and may go anywhere on the continent!

Therefore, the method proposed by Yin Haisa is actually based on Sky City. As long as Qin Feng can successfully board Sky City when it reaches the vicinity of Talking Island, and then learn the method to control Sky City from Hailumen, he can quickly reach the Creation Continent after successfully activating Sky City. And this method is very safe, isn't it?

Because the Sky City of Nordrid is very large, extremely large. After all, it is the most remarkable masterpiece of the Age of Giants, and also the capital city. Moreover, in Einhasad's words, Nordrid is even larger than the Talking Island!

Is this really necessary to be so exaggerated?

But after Yin Haisa said that, Qin Feng also had an idea. If that's the case, then wouldn't he be able to directly bring the people of the Great Qin Empire... or even more countries directly to Sky City?

A city that flies in the sky, a country that flies in the sky, an emperor that flies in the sky, and most importantly, you can go wherever you want. That's much better than being a nouveau riche on this Talking Island. Besides, even if Qin Feng unifies the Eastern and Western Continents, what benefits will he gain?

Obviously, the Creation Continent is more fun. Besides, Qin Feng, who transmigrated here, has such a powerful painting of beautiful women on him. As time goes by, his strength will also increase. At that time, he may not be afraid of the powerful races on the Creation Continent. He may even capture them and make them his slaves...

Imagine what it would feel like to capture the Elf Queen as well?

In addition, although orcs are ugly, their leopard women, wolf women, cat women, fox women... are all world-renowned beauties!

Moreover, although the winged people are not angels, it must be quite interesting to mess with them, right?

Just thinking about it is so exciting, isn't it?

The question is, how will Qin Feng ascend to the Sky City of Nordrid? And how will he persuade the giant chieftain Helumen to willingly hand over the Sky City to him?

Is it just because Qin Feng is handsome?

This isn't really a problem...

Because of Einhasad, and also because of Wanda Nara, the Scarlet Witch...

What? The Sky City is protected by giants, and ordinary people can't even get up there? Mei, you're busy... Lin, you're not here...

Are you kidding me? Wanda's chaos magic can correct any reality; all these restrictions are meaningless to her!

However, what Qin Feng could truly look forward to was his painting of beautiful women...

It should be noted that Qin Feng's Beauty Picture contains countless goddess souls, and once these goddess souls are fused and the stars are lit up, they can greatly increase Qin Feng's strength. Not to mention, Qin Feng has only been here for a short time, but he has already become the strongest person on the Island of Talking. So what will happen when he signs contracts with all the goddess souls in the Beauty Picture?

Why don't you just try it and see?

Therefore, Qin Feng later summoned Empress Yoda Haruko and her royal guard to the Qin Empire. In any case, she was mostly just a figurehead now, because as the Qin Empire and the Inazuma Empire became increasingly inseparable, especially as the Qin Empire gradually established a special administrative office over Inazuma, Yoda Haruko could do less and less. So, as soon as Qin Feng sent the message, she set off immediately, bringing with her three thousand top beauties specially selected from Inazuma.

Moreover, the Great Qin Empire finally began a brand-new selection of three thousand beauties. However, unlike previous emperors who basically only required youth and beauty, this emperor, Qin Feng, had rather strange requirements. He didn't have a high demand for youth and beauty, but rather placed more emphasis on talent and ability...

Especially later, as Qin Feng's needs grew, he decided to expand his 'harem' repeatedly, from three thousand beauties to thirty thousand, and finally to three hundred thousand!

Is it exaggerated?

That's right...

Qin Feng even expanded the selection scope to include girls from all over the continent, from any country and ethnicity, as long as they had sufficient qualifications and strength to apply for the selection of the Qin Empire's harem.

Can you imagine how popular it was with girls signing up?

Basically, all the young girls on the island of Talking flocked to the capital of the Great Qin Empire, and all they wanted was to become concubines in the Great Qin Emperor's harem!

Needless to say, for the next ten years or so, the Qin Empire was incredibly lively and became a recognized capital of beauties on both the eastern and western continents!

Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Unbeknownst to many, Qin Feng had been in this strange world for nearly twenty years. The naive eighteen-year-old boy of yesteryear had now become a middle-aged man in his forties, and he had accomplished feats that many had never even imagined before…

Just like the Inazuma Empire, which was formally incorporated into the Qin Empire ten years ago, the Ranghi Empire and the Indian Empire are now basically under the control of the Qin Empire. Even smaller countries like the Weinan Empire and the Khmer Empire have long since chosen to submit and become vassals of the Qin Empire.

Needless to say, in the Western Continent, after her five-year term in the Great Qin Empire was over, Saintess Regina was supposed to return to the Holy See of Light to assume the position of Pope. However, because she was reluctant to leave Qin Feng, she later summoned her father, Randolph, to the Great Qin Empire. Then, Yin Haisa gave him a chance to regain his youth, allowing him to return and serve for a few more years...

Therefore, although there are many countries in the Western Continent, due to the control of the Holy See and the divine oracle of the Goddess of Light, Einhasad, they are now almost all subordinate to the Qin Empire.

In other words, the Qin Empire had essentially unified the entire Island of Talk.

The female strategists Huang Yueying, Zhang Chunhua, Xin Xianying, and Wu Zetian deserve immense credit for achieving such success in just twenty years. Later, Qin Feng even felt that he couldn't keep up with their thinking, so he simply let them handle things. The ministers in the court are now increasingly aware of the kind of people around their emperor, so they not only have no complaints, but also dare not act recklessly.

But what they didn't know was that Qin Feng was already preparing to leave...

Chapter 198: The Harem Ascends to the Sky City

According to Einhasad's intelligence, the giants' capital, Sky City Nordrid, who had been wandering aimlessly across the continent of Creation, would arrive near Talking Island in six months.

So Qin Feng was very busy during this period, having people prepare all kinds of daily necessities, luggage, and even a lot of resources. However, the last thing he did was to have his elder brother Qin Yu called back to the capital from Liaoxi.
