Chapter 225: Chapter 224 Broke the Sky! (Live as Ants, should have Honghu’s Ambition!)

Translator: 549690339

“The Primordial Continent has Heaven, Earth and Human listings, which include all heroes in the world. Although we are not yet comparable to them, Penglai Island has its own elite ranking, specifically collecting the talents of the universe’s Sector Lords...”

At the tables of Heaven, Earth, and Human, a young man was energetically narrating, while others patiently listened.

“Elite ranking?”

This list was extensively circulated in Penglai Island, but it was virtually unknown in the universe.

“Exactly!”

Another heroic youth stepped forward, laughing softly: “Honestly, without the Ancient Gods, we probably wouldn’t have come here in our lifetime...”

This was indeed the case. For the people of Penglai Island, staying there was sufficient. Any single advanced cosmic nation was not worth their nostalgia.

“Almost everyone who is strong is on Penglai Island. Even if this list is circulated here, no one here is probably able to get on it...”

The person who spoke this was quite complacent, looking down on the locals present.

There were a thousand people on Heaven, Earth and Human tables, almost eight or nine hundred of whom came from Penglai Island. The real talents of various cosmic nations were few and far between.

“Your words are too much. What do you mean no one here can make the list? Even if you let me in your damned list, I might not even want to get on it...”

A talent from the cosmos nation showed dissatisfaction.

“Hehe!”

A prodigy from Penglai Island sneered, “Frogs at the bottom of a well. Without seeing a real master, this is the result...”

“Hmph, Yan Ge of the Saifeng Cosmic Nation wants to learn a lesson from you!”

The previously dissatisfied youth directly stood up, wanting to compete with him.

“Young people are really impulsive...”

This talent from Penglai Island, although youthful, assumed a mature demeanor and smiled lightly: “In that case, let me show you the gap!”

Soon everyone in the room gave them space to compete.

No one wanted to stop it. This tea party was initiated in the hope that after the arrival of the Ancient God, everyone would have an opportunity to advance to eternity.

This opportunity was inevitably accompanied by conflicts.

Like in the temple, teens with special constitutions died in dozens.

“Please!”

Guo Qiu appeared relaxed, allowing his opponent to make the first move.

Due to venue limitations, Yu Shuiyao had informed everyone before entering the venue that all competitions would primarily be literary battles.

This was one move per person, testing attack and defense techniques.

Yan Ge immediately began his magic. After brewing for a moment, he waved his hand, and a sword energy broke through the air. It carried an overwhelming force, slashing towards his opponent.

“Hehe!”

In response to this move, Guo Qiu gave a light smile, effortlessly sent out a palm strike, flashing through the air and instantly dissipating the sword energy.

“Boom!”

This sword energy actually dissipated in the air just like that.

“This!”

Yan Ge’s eyes showed shock, disbelief.

At this moment, the talented individuals from other high-ranking cosmic nations also felt incredibly astonished.

They were all talents of high-ranking cosmic nations, naturally paying high attention to each other. Yan Ge, like them, had fought his way here and was quite strong. He ranked among the top few strongest among more than a hundred high-ranking cosmic talents.

His sword energy had frequently demonstrated its power, showing mighty strength. Yet, it was easily blocked now.

“It’s my turn!”

Guo Qiu gave a light smile, his lips slightly curled. He gently waved his left hand, and a violently burning black flame suddenly emerged. Like a bolt of lightning, it was rapidly approaching his opponent.

Yan Ge quickly began to resist, summoning a transparent shield in an attempt to block it.

From this, everyone could see the gap.

Because Guo Qiu only needed one palm to block the sword energy before.

But Yan Ge was taking this very seriously, using a shield to block.

“Boom!”

Just as everyone was waiting for that ball of fire to collide with the shield, the black fire suddenly skipped and directly appeared around Yan Ge.

“Boom!”

In just a blink of an eye, Yan Ge disappeared instantly without even enough time to scream. All that was left was a black mark on the ground and some unburnt ashes.

“This...”

All were shocked, staring at Guo Qiu unbelievably. They didn’t expect him to be so strong and to have killed Yan Ge.

Guo Qiu lightly smiled, “I couldn’t control it for a moment, but it’s not my fault. Who asked him to be so weak?!”

His companion next to him said calmly: “Why bother explaining? Didn’t we leave our families to gain experience? It’s normal for a few people to die!”

Another companion laughed: “You guys, don’t you think you’ve become top talents just because you got here...”

“Princess Yu is kind. She only set the threshold for this place to be at the level of three Law Domain Lords, allowing you to mingle in. Otherwise, I think it should be up to the standard of the temple entrance...”

At this moment, the talents of the high-ranking cosmic nations are dissatisfied.

“Yan Ge had the strength of the four Law Domain Lords...”

“So what? Didn’t he still die?!”

The crowd fell silent, unable to retort.

However, they acknowledged the fact that Penglai Island was more powerful than the cosmic nation.

The truth had always been there; they just didn’t think the gap was that big.

“Miao Jiang, you should be able to beat him, right?”

A talent from the cosmic nation unwillingly said.

Miao Jiang, who was considered the strongest prodigy currently in Cosmic Nation, didn’t dare to step forward upon hearing this. Instead, he looked at Guo Qiu solemnly and asked, “What is your ranking on the Hero Chart?”

Upon hearing his question, everyone in the hall turned their attention to Guo Qiu, waiting for his reply.

“Me?”

Guo Qiu smiled faintly, “I am nothing special on Penglai Island, I only rank 99th on the Hero Chart!”

“What!?”

Everyone was stunned. How powerful Guo Qiu was, yet he ranked only 99th on the so-called Hero Chart.

He smiled and stated: “I must admit, people like Princess Yu belong to the youngest generation. The Hero Chart, however, collects data of their generation, hence you can find numerous strong contenders there...”

This generation was ten million years apart from the previous one. This implied that on the Hero Chart, there might be old monsters who had lived for a million years getting classified with the young ones.

“You’re Miao Jiang, right? The strongest prodigy of Advanced Cosmic Nation?”

Miao Jiang paused for a moment after hearing this and then shook his head, “I dare not call myself the strongest, I’m just the strongest here on this stage...”

“If we are talking about the strongest prodigy in Advanced Cosmic Nation, that would be Qiao Jin, who has already reached the God Spirit Level...”

“Another one is the well-known Ancient God. I guess nobody would object if I say he is the top prodigy in the entire Advanced Cosmic Nation, right?!”

“Ancient God?”

Guo Qiu shook his head and smiled, “You can’t really say the Ancient God belongs to your Cosmic Nation. He came from the Primordial Continent. He is just the latest heir from your Cosmic Nation...”

“Let’s put the issue about the Ancient God aside for now. Miao Jiang, do you dare to fight me?”

It was clear that Guo Qiu intended to disgrace everyone from the hundred Cosmic Nations by directly challenging the strongest among them.

The other nine hundred people were all guests from Penglai Island and none of them intervened.

To the people of Penglai Island, these Cosmic Nations were all just rural areas. They didn’t consider them as equals at all.

“Miao Jiang, accept his challenge and let him know how powerful we from the Cosmic Nations are!”

“Better not, Miao Jiang. You can’t guard against his Dark Fire Formation. Let it slide...”

The prodigies from the hundred Cosmic Nations each had different thoughts. Some wanted Miao Jiang to take up the challenge, while others worried about his safety.

Miao Jiang, however, was deep in thought, calculating the odds in his mind, trying to figure out if he could withstand Guo Qiu’s attack.

“Heh, if you don’t dare then that’s fine, I won’t insist. Whenever you see me in the future, just make a detour...”

Although Guo Qiu’s tone was calm, his words were highly provocative, as if he wanted to humiliate them.

At this moment, a young man in black, who didn’t draw much attention, climbed up from the lower platform.

Only those standing on the edge of the platform noticed him. They were only slightly surprised by his dark face, which did not cause any stir.

All the hundred plus prodigies’ faces changed color. Even those who had previously advised Miao Jiang not to fight were silent now, hoping that he would stand out.

Miao Jiang was a bit furious. He said coldly, “Are you really bent on humiliating us to the extreme?”

“Humiliating to the extreme?”

Guo Qiu laughed lightly, “Not really, it’s just that you all are a hindrance, shouldn’t have appeared here...”

It was clearly an attack rooted in prejudice about their origins!

Miao Jiang’s icy eyes emitted intimidating glares, his teeth grinding fiercely, “If you want to fight, bring it on!”

“But if you lose, you must apologize for what you said!”

“Humph”

Guo Qiu sneered, ” Who do you think is going to lose?”

“However, I agree to your proposal!” He said.

His eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, a horrifying glint that indicated his intention to kill.

Many of the prodigies bowed their heads upon seeing his chilling gaze.

“This is so sad, such a vast universe, yet not a single person is willing to stand for us...”

At this moment, the hundred Cosmic Nation prodigies all felt a wave of bitterness and solitude.

“Hahaha!”

A prodigy laughed out loud, “If you count the Ancient God, your Cosmic Nation might stand a chance, otherwise forget it...”

At this moment, they made no attempt to hide their stance, clearly distinguishing the people from both sides.

“Penglai Island is Penglai Island, the cosmic nation is the cosmic nation, strictly speaking, we are not the same...”

The people on Penglai Island mostly subjectively identified themselves with the subsidiary islands of the Primordial Continent.

Many didn’t like to admit their cosmic human identity, just like within the territory of Hua Nation on Earth, there was a time when a small group of people identified themselves as Han Nationals with a strong sense of identity, which reached the point of ridiculous incidents such as someone traveling thousands of miles to deliver fungus.

Actually, this was a disease, a disease that reflected deep-seated self-inferiority, lack of ethnic confidence, and only those in the middle stratum possessed this mentality.

Clearly, quite a few people here suffered from this disease. In their eyes, the Primordial Continent represented the high-end, the advanced, while the universe stood for the low-end.

They were desperate to enter the Primordial Continent and embrace everything it had to offer while completely rejecting the universe.

However, there were exceptions. Some, like Yu Shuiyao, who came from deep-rooted, prodigious backgrounds, did not share this mentality.

Most of their families had venerable ancestors, and their vision was broad. They did not simply believe that everything from the Primordial Continent was good and correct.

“Penglai Island is firstly Cosmic Humanity, then Penglai Island!”

At this time, Yu Shuiyao stood out and voiced her opinion first.

Not just her, even the Little Hawk King and others, were unable to bear it any longer and scoffed mockingly.

“A person who can’t even acknowledge his own origin, is nothing but a waste, notwithstanding his abilities!”

Long Aotian, who was seated at the same table with Yu Shuiyao and others, nodded and said: “Our origin only represents the starting point and the glory of our forefathers. Real glory needs to be fought for by us.”

“If we are strong, we can be the center of the stage anywhere!”

“If we are strong, we can even create an era of our own!”

Everyone was shocked, they couldn’t believe that these words were spoken by Long Aotian.

Of all the people present, the Dragon Family was the proudest of their bloodline.

Long Aotian looked at these surprised gazes, smiled lightly, seemed unmoved and at ease.

These words, indeed were not his, but his father’s.

After the incident at the temple, he thought he would be severely scolded by his father upon returning home.

Who would have thought, not only did his father not scold him, instead he told him these words.

These words awakened him completely. The pride and honor of the Dragon Clan are false, the real honor is earned with one’s own hands.

“In the future, I will carve my name on the Primordial Continent, a name that only belongs to Long Aotian!”

At this moment, all of them felt as if Long Aotian had been sublimated, like he had reached enlightenment, his aura was radiant and brilliant.

Those who were always proud of their status felt a surge of indignation within their hearts at this moment.

In terms of status, Long Aotian had an excellent pedigree. Since even he was saying such things, the others were unable to retort.

Guo Qiu was furious and ashamed. The thing he treasured most was being denied by ‘one of his own’. His eyes were fixed on Miao Jiang, brimming with hatred.

At this moment, he seemed to want to vent all his humiliation on Miao Jiang. Without a word, he threw a black flame directly at Miao Jiang.

Miao Jiang, who had been watching Guo Qiu all along, responded with a swift action and a light screen appeared instantly.

“Sizzz!”

The black fire, which had previously incinerated Yan Ge, was blocked by the light screen.

“Hehe!”

At this point, a cold sneer accompanied by mockery echoed.

“What a joke of a pride of Penglai Island, resorting to a sneak attack, how disgraceful!”

“Who?!”

With a furious expression, Guo Qiu looked around.

However, from this voice, everyone saw the situation in the arena and understood about Guo Qiu’s sneak attack.

For a time, many people directed contemptuous glances at him.

As a pride of Penglai Island, he actually had to resort to a sneak attack on someone he looked down upon, it was ridiculous and lowered his value.

“Such a person truly brings shame to our group. Guo Qiu, I hope that in the future when you go out, you don’t identify yourself as someone from Penglai Island, you’re disgracing us!”

Seeing this, Long Aotian sarcastically threw in a remark without hesitation.

At the same time on the platform, a path was gradually cleared, revealing the figure who had previously mocked Guo Qiu.

A youngster with a face as dark as coal and a body covered in black slowly walked into the middle of the arena.

“Who are you to dare mock me?!”

Guo Qiu looked at the youngster with a dark face in front of him and snorted coldly.

“He’s so dark, could he be from the same clan as Old Black, the Li family of Penglai Island?”

Some made guesses based on Du Gang’s appearance.

Looking at Guo Qiu, Du Gang softly chuckled, “At least I’m not from the same place as you!”

At his words, the hundred or so cosmic talents all grew excited.

“He’s probably like us, someone from the advanced cosmic nations!”

“That’s great, looking at his manner, his strength might not be weak!”

“Yes!”

In the midst of it all, Miao Jiang calmly said: “Guo Qiu, you had just tried a sneak attack once. I won’t stoop to your level. I blocked your attack, and now it’s my turn!”

Only after he finished speaking, did he start to operate his cultivation technique and gather energy.

“Boom!”

A formidable purple glow appeared slowly. It was an extremely terrifying divine radiance. The intense fluctuations made everyone feel palpitations.

“Stop!”

One of the God Spirits immediately stopped him, hurriedly saying, “Don’t, the Li family is bound to suffer this loss, blame it on their own son’s lack of upbringing, but don’t say anything yet, otherwise, our child won’t earn those hundred thousand Saint Crystals...”

The God Spirit that this person was guarding had also lent an artifact to Guo Qiu!

Not just him, a dozen other God Spirits also spoke in unison, “Let’s not go yet, let’s wait till the competition ends!”

Although their tone was calm, the threat was evident.

One million Saint Crystals, those who see it would get a share, and they too would receive some.

Only a few members of the Kong family who were guarding Du Gang wanted to laugh, but they dared not make a noise.

They were in the void at the moment where nobody could see each other, and they didn’t make a move, so nobody knew who they were.

“Du Gang, this kid is going to pit these people this time!”

They were well aware of Du Gang’s strength, which was much stronger than that Guo Qiu below. Who would win and who would lose would be clear at a glance.

So, they were quite happy to watch the show.

Just wait, you’ll have your turn to cry soon!

On the platform, Du Gang was being talked about by everyone, his dark face turned red, his eyes were full of bloodshot, he agitatedly said, “Thirty million Saint Crystals, who dares to gamble with me?!”

“Thirty million?!”

As soon as he said these words, the whole place erupted. Sounds of people sucking in a breath of cold air filled the air.

Everyone was shocked, looking at him incredulously.

At this moment, Du Gang was standing in the middle, his chest rising and falling continuously, as if he had let out his emotions, and his reddish-black face gradually returned to black.

Meanwhile, seeing that no one had spoken for a long time, he looked left and right, and found that they were all stunned by him, he was immediately delighted.

He proudly shouted, “If you don’t dare to gamble with me, then all of you fuck off!”

“Hmph, you poor buggers, you want to gamble with me with only one million, no, at least thirty million!”

“If you can’t bring out thirty million, don’t expect me to make a move!”

“Poor buggers, Pah!”

Hearing these derisive words, no one was angry. Instead, they felt a surge of excitement and indescribable emotion.

Thirty million, if it was true, if they could really get it...

“Zila!”

“Crack!”

At this moment, thousands of chairs on the three platforms of Heaven, Earth, and Human moved.

These chairs were replaced by Yu Shuiyao, specially brought in from the Yu family, made of excellent tan silkwood. At this moment, however, no one cared about this.

Everyone, including Yu Shuiyao, focused their eyes on the dark-skinned young man in the middle.

At this moment, the dark-skinned young man was still talking non-stop.

“You guys represent Penglai island? I spit!”

“In my opinion, the only one who can represent Penglai island, it should be me!”

Hearing these words, Long Aotian suddenly took out a Dragon Seal and looked at Guo Qiu, loudly saying, “This Dragon Seal is a Ninth Rank top-level divine artifact, worth 3.6 million Saint Crystals, Guo Qiu, I’ll lend it to you, I only want 300,000 interest!!”

This sentence was like opening the floodgates of a dam, in an instant, countless people were all looking for Guo Qiu to lend him money.

Out of over a thousand people, seven to eight hundred wanted to lend him money.

Even the people of over a hundred advanced cosmic nations were tempted. If they didn’t know that even if they lent money, Guo Qiu wouldn’t accept it, they might really lend it.

At this moment, watching this scene, Du Gang was completely dumbfounded, he was stunned for a while, he moved to head down the mountain.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, Long Aotian, who was originally in the innermost location of the platform, appeared beside him.

He sneered, “Little Brother Black, the competition isn’t over, how can you leave like this?!”

Not just him, but everyone else too, seeing this scene, dispersed around him, surrounding him in the middle.

Du Gang, nearly brought to tears watching the scene, his voice choked with emotion, said: “Don’t do this. This... this money isn’t mine, it’s my family’s, you can’t take it!”

“Hahaha!”

Long Aotian laughed heartily: “As long as you dare to lose, I dare to take. A mere Li Family, Long does not care!”

Not just him, everyone else was also laughing uproariously.

Forget Long Aotian, here were more than a thousand people, almost representing the entire force of the Penglai Island families. Even if this charcoal face kid were replaced by the Dragon Family, they would still take it without hesitation.

After stopping him, Long Aotian turned a cold gaze towards Guo Qiu, “Guo Qiu, make up your mind. My Dragon Seal is worth 3.6 million. Do you want to borrow it or not!”

Guo Qiu, similarly nearly scared to tears by the people surrounding him.

The status and backgrounds of the people in this circle were all higher than his, and there were dozens of people stronger than he was.

At this point, Little Hawk King also loudly said: “Guo Qiu, I have a pair of trout here, worth 3.5 million, you must borrow it!”

Guo Qiu scanned the crowd, and there were more than a dozen people on par with Long Aotian, each owning artifacts worth more than 3 million Saint Crystals.

In addition to these people, others had valuable artifacts as well, worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Seeing this, he beg again and again, “Don’t do this everyone, that Heitan only bet a total of 30 million Saint Crystals with me. All of you here together, you are over a hundred million, that’s too many...”.

Everyone looked at each other, and indeed it was so.

Apart from the hundreds of proud heavens that remained motionless, everyone else looked ready to move.

“I don’t care, you must borrow from me!”, Long Aotian remained just as overbearing as ever.

“I don’t care either, you must take this trout!” Little Hawk King also spread his hands, as if to say that if you don’t borrow my money, I will kill you.

Seeing this, everyone else followed suit and continued to threaten unceasingly.

Watching this spectacle, Guo Qiu burst into tears.

As for Du Gang at this moment, he was cursing Long Aotian and Little Hawk King in his heart incessantly.

Damn it, one had a Dragon Seal worth more than 3 million, and the other had a trout worth more than 3 million, but at the time they all pretended to be poor in front of him.

They even said that the money their families had spent on them did not exceed ten thousand Saint Crystals!

What a bunch of drama queens!

Du Gang fumed internally, wanting to give each of them a good slap.

But he did not act out, not to mention whether he could beat Long Aotian, whose strength was already comparable to that of the Eight Law Domain Lord, even just adding everyone together was overwhelming enough.

As the crowd was causing a ruckus, Yu Shuiyao came to everyone’s rescue.

“Everyone, if you all pressure him like this, then today’s matter probably won’t have a conclusion...”

She pointed below and said lightly: “Our South Mountain is almost full, which means that Old Black Li Kui will be coming up soon. Once he comes up, in this void...”

Her meaning was very clear, once Li Kui came up, the spirits in the void would also come up. At that moment, nobody could touch that charcoal kid of the Li Family’s 30 million Saint Crystals!

For them, such a profit, why not take when it’s free, after all, it’s the Li Family’s money!

People reacted and quieted down, looking at Yu Shuiyao, “Princess Yu, do you have any good ideas?”

Yu Shuiyao gave a charming smile and said: “Let’s not concern ourselves with formalities. If we take the Li Family’s money, we will need to be able to guard it as well. Let’s determine the amount of loans according to each individual’s family background proportionally!”

“All one thousand people shall participate!”

Long Aotian frowned, “That’s too many...”

The people who had previously mocked the advanced cosmic nations also spoke up, “That is indeed too many, these country fellows shouldn’t be involved, should they?!”

“Foolish!”

Time was of the essence, Li Kui could climb the mountain at any time, at this time Yu Shuiyao also became a bit impatient and scolded them.

Only then did she say: “Though Li Kui is at the foot of the mountain, but in the void, there are spirits that can come and go freely...”

Everyone understood her meaning at once.

If they didn’t get these people involved, when the time came, if the spirits in the void became jealous or unsatisfied, they would surely spoil things.

So, everyone must be involved so that no spirits would snitch.

At this moment, the spirits who originally wanted to go down the mountain to snitch, stopped in their tracks when they heard these words.

These people were essentially the weakest defenders of the Virtuous Way among those present.

“So, how should we distribute among these one thousand people?”

Everyone turned to look at Yu Shuiyao.

At this moment, the entire three stages of Heaven, Earth, and Human had completely changed, becoming a place for everyone to divide the benefits.

Yu Shuiyao, who had already thought things through, smiled lightly: “First, everyone have a minimum guaranteed share of three ten-thousandths, meaning, out of 30 million Saint Crystals, one can get a minimum of 9,000 Saint Crystals...”

9,000 Saint Crystals, meaning the Protectors of the Path of Virtue would be able to get quite a lot, enough to keep their mouths shut.

“Then the remaining 70 percent, we distribute equally according to our family backgrounds!”

“Each child of the 18 families will take two percent. That takes 36 percent, and the remaining 34 percent will be shared by everyone else...”

She reminded, “The Li Family is not weak. If we want to swallow these 30 million Saint Crystals peacefully, none of us eighteen families can be lacking!”

Upon hearing this, no one present had any objections. The 18 families had been ruling the universe and the Penglai Island for a long time. Taking half was already giving them faces.

So next, everyone distributed the remaining 34 percent among themselves according to their status.

“600 thousand Saint Crystals?”

Long Aotian nodded, accepting the number, casually tossing the Dragon Seal to the center.

“I lend you the Dragon Seal, the interest is 600 thousand Saint Crystals!”

Upon hearing this, Guo Qiu sighed with relief, hurriedly accepted it, and then placed it by his side.

Seeing this, everyone took out their own artifacts and placed them in the center.

Meanwhile, Long Aotian looked at Du Gang with a cold smile. “Black kid, take out your 30 million Saint Crystals and put them in the public area!”

“This...”

Du Gang took a step back, fear flashing across his face, but he was overjoyed inside.

He almost said to Yu Shuiyao, “You did a great job.”

Thirty million Saint Crystals, bargaining items worth hundreds of millions Saint Crystals from these people!

He pretended to be worried, “No, I’m afraid someone will steal or rob it...”

“Haha!”

Long Aotian laughed, “That’s easy, we have a special amulet for gambling fights!”

“The Amulet for Gambling Fights, a creation of True God level beings using true words, can allow both sides of the gamble to place their items on the scales. Nobody can take them. Only the winner can retrieve them...”

Hearing this, Du Gang was delighted.

He really wanted to give a thumbs-up to Long Aotian for doing a good job.

However, his face was as pale as a ghost, trembling uncontrollably, his charred-black face becoming pallid as if he was at death’s door.

All eyes were on him. Although they felt some pity, they remained firm in their belief.

‘We’re teaching him a lesson here. This money isn’t his anyway, it belongs to the Li Family. Dividing up Li Family’s money, there’s nothing cruel about that!’

“Move away everyone, make some room!”

As Long Aotian commanded, a considerable space was cleared immediately, and he quickly tore open the Gambling Fight’s amulet.

Immediately, a colossal set of scales appeared.

“Boom!”

Long Aotian clapped his hands, and instantly, Guo Qiu and Du Gang were both standing on each end of the scales.

“The two fighting participants have been decided!”

The Sound of the Dao echoed out.

Soon after, Long Aotian laughed heartily, “Hurry up, both of you place your bets on the scale!”

Guo Qiu, his face lighting up with joy, quickly placed the over thousand artifacts on his end of the scale.

On the other side, Du Gang took a while before making a move.

Long Aotian sneered, “Little blackie, if you obediently put up the thirty million Saint Crystals and fight as agreed, everything will be fine. But if you don’t, I will kill you today!”

Seeing those violence-infused eyes, Du Gang jumped in fright. He wanted to leave the scales but was held in place by an invisible force and couldn’t move.

At this moment, Yu Shuiyao softly said, “Don’t be afraid, Little Black. Consider this as a lesson. Thirty million Saint Crystals, that’s all there is to it. I guess your father must be a Great Power, with him protecting you, even if you lose thirty million, you will only be grounded, you will not lose your life...”

Hearing this, everyone began persuading him.

While Long Aotian played the bad cop, the others played the good cops. It was a lively scene.

“Exactly, it’s just thirty million Saint Crystals. In the future, you can earn enough for your family, right? I heard that Xiang Yu borrowed one billion Saint Crystals for his company. He’s just a Stellar Level guy, but see how confident he is...”

Hearing this, Du Gang hesitated for a bit, “Are you guys telling the truth? If I lose thirty million, I really won’t die?!”

“Absolutely true, your father is a Great Power, who would dare to kill you?”

“Cough, cough, even if he’s not a Great Power, even if he’s just a True God, that’s already extraordinary. There definitely won’t be a threat to your life!”

Hearing this, Du Gang hesitated for a moment and glanced at Long Aotian.

Seeing this, Long Aotian immediately put on a brutal expression.

Du Gang was so scared that he quickly turned his head away. Finally, he took them out.

Thirty million Saint Crystals!

“Swoosh!”

In a flash, they were all on the scale.

He was playing this act to the hilt because he wanted to stall for time.

A business worth one billion, he felt that the five God Spirit Level beings behind him couldn’t handle it, so he hoped for more capable individuals to show up.

“Hiss!”

At the sight of the thirty million Saint Crystals on the scale, everyone present, including the spirits in the void, all took a sharp breath, utterly shocked.

“We’re rich...”

“We’re going to be rich...”

That was what everyone was thinking at this moment.

Even the always calm and elegant Yu Shuiyao’s eyes were now shaped like coins.

She even started thinking about what beautiful clothes she should buy with her share of six hundred thousand Saint Crystals!

Only the five God Spirit level beings from the Kong Family felt as if the sky was falling. They were twitching uncontrollably at the corners of their mouths.

They couldn’t handle this situation. This kid causes trouble wherever he goes. It’s a disaster!!

Over a thousand artifacts,

worth more than one billion in total.

Du Gang, your guts to deceive are truly big!

At this moment, the five didn’t dare to move, fearing they would provoke misunderstanding from others. Instead, they quietly used their light computers to contact Qingyu.

They even felt that even Qingyu might not be able to handle this situation. They may need someone even more powerful to intervene.

But what they knew was that the news of today’s incident would undoubtedly spread throughout the universe.

Du Gang just tore a hole in the sky!

Ps: It’s so hard for the poor to leap up in class. Each time we see a speck of sunlight, a bunch of things come along to block it.

I really want to change my surroundings, to have a place that’s quiet and warm to write in.

The dream of Orange Cat is simple. In this small four-tier city, have a house of my own. Unfortunately, I can’t even afford the down payment, and I am in terrible debt.

It’s been so tough. I’ve tried my best to not let my mood affect me. But it’s of no use. With so many family issues, I can’t find peace. I only managed to write twenty thousand words today.

This is the second day in a row that I’ve only written twenty thousand words.

Deep feelings of guilt
