Chapter 1145: Perfect Follow-up

The power of the Demonic Dragon Emperor was immense. Xu Yang had been worried whether Shi Tiandao, who had just suffered a severe injury, could withstand this force. Soon, an unexpected scene unfolded before everyone.

Although Shi Tiandao's physical body was severely wounded, a highly unique source of life force was hidden within him, capable of extraordinarily rapid repair of his internal body structure.

"My goodness, boss, look at his body! It's able to self-repair without any external assistance. I've never seen such a powerful healing ability before; it seems even stronger than the Demonic Dragon Blood within us."

After Gugaras spoke, everyone turned their attention to Shi Tiandao, quickly noticing the unique superhuman talent he possessed.

It was known that Gugaras had recently specialized in studying physical cultivation techniques and the development of potential within body meridians, making him the most perceptive of Shi Tiandao's extraordinary talent.

No one was sure about the origin of this power, but after observing for a long time, Xu Yang finally reached a definitive conclusion. "If my judgment is correct, his method of recovery must come from a special life force talent. In other words, the source of Shi Tiandao's life force is not from Yingzhou Continent."

Everyone looked at Xu Yang in disbelief. "So, according to you, boss, this Shi Tiandao must also be from the desolate Outer World beyond the ends?"

Xu Yang gently shook his head. "Perhaps he himself doesn't know where his bloodline talent comes from. If my judgment is correct, this incredibly powerful bloodline force was implanted in him either during his childhood or shortly after his birth.

After that, either he was modified while still an infant, before developing mature intellectual abilities, or the person who bestowed this power upon him forcibly erased this part of his memory.

That's why he has no recollection of it. It seems this was destined; he was meant to receive such an opportunity. Without this powerful bloodline talent to support him, it would be difficult for his current physical energy alone to inherit the full power of the Demonic Dragon Emperor."

After hearing Xu Yang's explanation, everyone increasingly felt that Shi Tiandao was destined to join the Dragon Rider Squad, become a member of their family, and be the fated leader capable of commanding the entire Glory Legion.

The entire recovery process lasted less than three hours. When Shi Tiandao opened his eyes again, he could feel an endless surge of power within him. He quickly got up and immediately knelt on both knees before Xu Yang, performing a prostration as a disciple would to a master.

"Brother, please get up quickly. There's no need for this. You've joined our team, and we're all brothers. Why are you doing this?"

However, Shi Tiandao was a very stubborn person. He was completely unmoved by Xu Yang's words and continued to prostrate himself before Xu Yang with immense reverence and gratitude.

"Without you, I know exactly what my end would have been today. My life would have been a great tragedy and a joke. It is because of you and the other brothers in the Dragon Rider Squad that my destiny has changed. You've given me a new beginning and even imparted to me the peerless opportunity of the Demonic Dragon Emperor.

I, Shi Tiandao, will never forget this kindness for all eternity. I can only dedicate my entire life, through diligent effort, to helping you achieve your goals. From today onward, my life, Shi Tiandao's life, is yours. Whenever you wish to take it, you only need to say the word."

After speaking, Shi Tiandao prostrated three more times before Xu Yang. This time, Xu Yang did not stop him, understanding that Shi Tiandao needed this opportunity to express the gratitude in his heart.

After completing the three prostrations, Shi Tiandao slowly rose, finally accepting his new identity: the nominal controller of the Glory Dragon Rider Squad and the executive leader of the entire Glory Legion.

With this status alone, a position of one person above ten thousand within the Glory Legion, he was powerful enough to influence the fate of all beings in the Western Regions of Yingzhou Continent. Of course, he now had a more crucial task: dealing with the current aftermath.

Now that the true behind-the-scenes controllers of the Imperial Soul Legion had all been thoroughly dealt with by Xu Yang's Glory Team, no one could rival Shi Tiandao's influence over the entire Glory Legion. Thus, he was rightfully poised to become the leader of the foremost legion in the Western Regions of Yingzhou Continent.

"Brother Shi Tiandao, you are now the true leader of this region and the second-in-command of our Glory Legion. You must be considered the most powerful person in the Western Regions of Yingzhou Continent. What are your plans moving forward? How should the Glory Legion and the Imperial Soul Legion coexist?"

Shi Tiandao smiled. "My suggestion is to remove the Imperial Soul Legion's name and fully merge it into the Glory Legion. All its resources, human and material, would be handed over to the Glory Dragon Rider Squad to lead as the behind-the-scenes elder council. I would serve as the public controller, while you decide the direction of the entire legion's fate. What do you all think?"

Undoubtedly, this decision was precisely what the core members of the Glory Dragon Rider Squad had hoped for. It meant that all legion forces in the Western Regions of Yingzhou Continent would ultimately fall under the dominion of the Glory Legion, aligning perfectly with their initial objectives.

However, this time, Xu Yang gently shook his head, expressing reservations. "My suggestion is not to rush the merger of the two legions. Since we are already the de facto controllers of both, whether they merge or not isn't critically important to us.

What is important is that merging so quickly would inevitably attract too much attention. The Central Region Imperial Family already has designs on me. If even the Western Regions were absorbed into the Glory Legion so rapidly, I would become the primary thorn in the side of the entire Central Region Imperial Family of Yingzhou Continent. They might even immediately dispatch powerful forces to encircle and suppress our territories."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, the brothers of the Glory Dragon Rider Squad all showed puzzled expressions. "Boss, with the actual power we now command and our combined individual strengths, we shouldn't be afraid! No matter how strong they are, your influence already spans the four major regions: East, West, North, and South.
