A month later.
Su Zimo released the Supremacies from the Universe Creation Diagram.
Under the leadership of Yang Mo and the other Empyrean powerhouses, the Primal Chaos Palace had already conquered the surrounding territories of the Black Goat Ridge, Giant Spirit Valley, Black Bird Forest, and Frost Snow Plains, bringing them into the territory of the Primal Chaos Palace.
Everywhere it passed, it was as if it was crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. No one could stop it!
Serpent Dragon Island had also been conquered by the Chaos Palace.
The number of Source Ores under the Chaos Palace's control had already exceeded a hundred!
During the Serpent Dragon Island Lord's birthday banquet, he didn't get any of the gifts sent by the leaders of the various factions. Instead, they fell into Su Zimo's hands.
On this day.
The Chaos Palace's Heavenly Venerables gathered in the Chaos Palace. Su Zimo sat on the main seat, and Xu Rui, Chen Qianhe, and Meng Shi were also present.
"My Lord, why did you call us back? Did something happen?"
Yang Mo asked.
Su Zimo looked at Xu Rui and nodded. "You tell me."
Xu Rui said, "The end of the year is approaching, and the Five Venoms Palace's envoy is about to arrive."
"Right now, our Chaos Palace's territory has expanded and we've occupied a hundred and thirty-eight Source Ores. We're already considered the largest second-tier faction in the Canopy Gai State. The amount of Source Ores we have to hand over is also quite shocking, so we have to prepare in advance."
"Five Venoms Palace?"
Yang Mo frowned.
These days, he had heard that the Five Venoms Palace was the only first-tier faction in the Canopy Gai State, the true overlord.
"Why do we have to hand over Source Ores to them?"
Yang Mo asked with a frown.
Xu Rui smiled bitterly. "There's no choice. The Five Venoms Palace has a lot of people, and they have a Dao Venerate expert overseeing it. The other factions don't dare to violate this rule.
"Actually, it's not just the Canopy Gai State. It's the same in the other states."
Yang Mo asked again, "How much do we have to hand over?"
"Seventy percent."
Xu Rui answered.
"What!"
Yang Mo was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "So much?"
"They're going too far!"
"I can't take this lying down!"
The other Heavenly Venerables also had angry expressions.
With a helpless expression, Xu Rui replied, "Over the years, the 108 provinces in the southeastern region have been occupied by the foreign races, and this has always been the case."
"For example, in the Canopy State, the various second-tier powers have to hand over seventy percent of their Origin Stones to the Five Venoms Temple every year."
"The various second-rate forces did not dare to disobey this order, so they could only turn around and deal with the third-rate forces under their command, demanding that the third-rate forces all hand over ninety percent."
"Third-tier factions don't dare to disobey, or they'll be wiped out. After all the plundering, third-tier factions can only obtain ten percent of Source Ores each year, which isn't enough for cultivation."
"Therefore, many battles and killings often erupt between the third grade forces …"
The Primal Chaos Palace's Empyrean powerhouses all frowned when they heard this.
The Five Venoms Palace relied on their strength to be unshakable. That was why they were so unbridled and enjoyed the fruits of others' labor.
Under this pressure, the other factions in the Canagai State could only kill each other if they wanted to obtain more cultivation resources.
Yang Mo asked, "Previously, did the Primal Chaos Palace hand over 70% every year?"
Nodding his head, Xu Rui replied, "Ever since we occupied the Myriad Beast Ridge, we've been handing over 70% every year. However, the palace master has ordered us not to plunder the Genesis Ores of the other third-rate forces. "
Yang Mo glanced at Su Zimo as he thought to himself, This master is still a little too weak. He doesn't have any edge, and he doesn't even dare to resist being bullied like this.
"However, he's quite benevolent and didn't bully the weak."
Su Zimo did not say anything, his expression indifferent.
Although he was extremely conflicted when the Five Venoms Palace came to collect Genesis Ores over the past ten years, he did not show it and allowed Xu Rui and the others to hand over the Genesis Ores as per normal.
Firstly, he was not strong enough, and it was unwise to become enemies with the Five Venoms Palace over such a small matter.
Even if he could survive, the Primal Chaos Palace's people would not be able to escape death.
To him, the most important thing was to seize the time to cultivate and raise his cultivation level.
Secondly, even if only thirty percent of the Genesis Ores were left, with Qinglian's true body, he could gather as much Genesis Qi as possible to help the Primal Chaos Palace's people cultivate.
At the very least, the Primal Chaos Palace's people did not lack cultivation resources.
"Palace master, do you have other arrangements for us to be gathered here?"
Yang Mo asked.
Su Zimo said, "I'm telling you this as a reminder. Hand over seventy percent of the Genesis Ores as per normal and don't clash with the Five Venoms Palace for the time being."
Yang Mo and the others fell silent.
They had cultivated in the Universe Creation Diagram since they were young and had never suffered any setbacks. Each and every one of them was proud and arrogant, and naturally did not fear the Five Venoms Palace.
Of course, they also knew in their hearts.
The Five Venoms Palace had a Dao Sovereign expert overseeing it.
The Dao Sovereigns in the Universe Creation Diagram could not come out, and it was indeed impossible for them to fight against the Five Venoms Palace.
Su Zimo continued, "In addition, the Primal Chaos Palace's territory is already large enough. Stop expanding."
"Why is that?"
Yang Mo frowned deeply and could not help but ask. Even his tone had changed.
It was fine if they followed Su Zimo's arrangements and handed over seventy percent of the Genesis Ores to the Five Venoms Palace.
But now, they were not allowed to continue expanding?
Yang Mo said in a low voice, "We have to hand over seventy percent of the Genesis Ores every year, and we don't have many cultivation resources to begin with. If we don't plunder the other third-tier factions, we can only invade the territories of the second-tier factions. "
"Furthermore, the Southeast Territory belongs to the Plant race to begin with!"
"It's reasonable for us to take it back since the alien races are occupying it!"
"That's right. The alien races have bullied us for so many years. We should have chased them out long ago!"
"Palace Master, there's no need to sympathize with them!"
The other Heavenly Venerables spoke as well.
Su Zimo's expression did not change as he said, "Right now, the Primal Chaos Palace is already the largest second-tier faction in Canagai State. If you continue expanding, you'll definitely attract the attention of the Five Venoms Palace and bring trouble to yourself."
"Hmph!"
A Supreme Heavenly Venerable said coldly, "Do you think our Primal Chaos Sacred Land is afraid of the Five Venoms Palace?!"
They cultivated in the Universe Creation Diagram all year round and had hundreds of Dao Sovereigns around them. Naturally, they did not take the Five Venoms Palace seriously.
However, those Dao Sovereigns were of no help at all.
To Su Zimo, he could only go against the Five Venoms Palace if he improved his cultivation realm and released those Dao Sovereigns.
During this period, it was not appropriate to clash with the Five Venoms Palace.
"This is only a temporary measure."
Su Zimo said indifferently, "Everyone, just follow my orders."
The few Supreme Heavenly Venerables were still indignant and looked at Yang Mo instinctively.
After all, Yang Mo was a Supreme Heavenly Venerable in the Universe Creation Diagram and had great prestige among the Heavenly Venerables.
"Understood."
Although he was unhappy, Yang Mo could not say anything.
After all, Supreme Heavenly Venerable Lin Meng had warned them not to disobey Su Zimo's orders in the Universe Creation Diagram.
Yang Mo and the other Heavenly Venerables stood up and left.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief.
At least in the future, he could cultivate in peace.
