His eyes widened upon being freed from the imprisonment, "Someone managed to defeat that Dungeon Master? It's not Lu Zhen, is it? Nah, he doesn't have such strength. It should be the work of a God realm cultivator or the heavenly palace might have sent a deity to resolve the issue. Anyway, I need to go there and check on the girl. She cannot fall into the wrong hands..."
Yujiang, the guardian of the mortal plane disappeared from the planet of lava.
The release of such massive energy not only brought alarm to every spirit warrior living in a thousand-kilometer radius but also disturbed the guardian of the plane, who was peacefully meditating in his abode.
Back to Mark;
*Cough* Cough* *Cough*
"F**k..."
The wings opened up to reveal Mark who was hurting all over his body and Song Yue who was still in sleep mode without a clue of what was going on outside.
Mark tried to get up but he couldn't. The Gravity Dome was long dismissed and Song Yue was only supposed to weigh a little under 50kg but at the moment, he felt like trapped under a huge rock.
"System... Ugh... A little help please..."
*Ding! 50,000 credits have been deducted. Purification stone has been used.
At once, all of that pain healed from his body.
Placing her on the side, Mark got up and mumbled, "System, I have a 2 billion credit limit, correct?"
*Ding! Yes, that is correct.
"Can you make it 5 billion? I will accept any kind of interest rate and time limit," Mark put forth a request upon remembering how it lately accepted his requests without arguing, like in the past.
*Ding! Trade request 1: Mandatory Quest from the system for credit limit increase
Trade Request 2: Exchange Supreme Potion for a credit limit increase of up to 5 billion
"Open Inventory"
Mark was curious about the new reward given by the system and then readily asked for it too.
Supreme Potion
Grade: N/A
Description: Upon consuming the potion, the user's stat points will be increased to 12.9.
Mark stared at the details in a serious manner. "What is that mandatory quest you are going to give me?"
*Ding! The host will learn when the time comes up.
.
.
.
*Ding! 10 million credits are added to the debt. Rank-8 Battle Robot has been created and sent to the inventory.
"Open Inventory"
"250 Rank-8 Robots, 10 Rank-9 Robots, and 1 Rank-10 Robot," Mark clenched his fist tightly. "All of you are going to be under the division named, Genesis Special Forces. And you shall bring the Dragon Empire and the Void Temple to ruins."
Carrying Song Yue in his arms, Mark started returning to the venue without bothering to look for the dead bodies that could have treasures in their storage rings or try taming the flaming Pegasus that fell somewhere.
A few hours later, he reached there and saw that people were already woken up and were slowly going to the dining areas as if they didn't remember what happened.
Lin Xue, Shang Fu, Song Tai, and Shang Bo were also there, but even they seemed to have no memory of who abducted them or how they were saved.
After asking around, he learned that they and Lan Jingyi were with this Saint-realm Deity in a tent. And this Saint-realm, who related himself to Lan Jingyi, actually wanted to meet him and Song Yue after they returned.
Carrying her in his arms, Mark made his way to the tent. Lin Xue and Eol followed him, but only Lin Xue entered the tent while Eol stood outside to make sure no one disturbed them.
"Dad" "Shang Zen"
Lan Jingyi and Steve reacted at the same time, startling Lin Xue who was standing right behind him. Her eyes widened a bit and her body stiffened. "Eh?"
"Ssss..."
Mark hissed at them, "I have a proper identity. Don't call me with whatever names you want."
"Sorry." As Lan Jingyi felt disappointed, Steve glanced at his grandma. Meanwhile, Yujiang let out a chuckle, "People will call you what you mean to them, not what you want the others to call you, Lu Zhen."
"Even so, I believe I have made myself clear that I have no relation to the Shang Dynasty, Queen Consort Lan," Mark narrowed his eyes as he glared at his mom and spoke in a firm tone. After a brief pause, he further added, "Just because I'm helping the fourth prince or letting you live with me doesn't mean I would become a part of your family. That will never happen."
"I..." Lan Jingyi couldn't speak anything after hearing such words. Her disappointment only grew and she stayed silent. Lin Xue was shockingly staring at Lan Jingyi and then at Mark's back, "So, it is true, after all?" She thought in her head. "That means everything he said is also true..." For a moment, Lin Xue's eyes were filled with hatred but she managed to mask her feelings.
Although Deity Yujiang spotted it, he didn't pay too much attention to her.
Instead, he changed the topic to ease up the atmosphere, "Now, let's not waste much time on unnecessary topics, shall we? The world is at stake here, and the center of all these problems lies that thing." He pointed his fingers at Song Yue.
Mark furrowed his brows, "that thing?"
"I don't mean her, Lu Zhen." Deity Yujiang turned serious as he explained, "I meant the thing inside her, The Orb of Chaos, which I sealed in her when she was born."
"Orb of Chaos?" The frown on Mark's face deepened while Lan Jingyi got up from the seat once again, "One of the seven cosmic orbs?"
