(Thank you, Brother Suffocating Eye, for your generous reward of 100,000 yuan. You have accomplished the hegemony of the Fighting Alliance Leader. Mighty!)
On the same night, in the distant Heavenly Gates in the Land, unlike the peace on Earth, there was a feeling of mutual hostility within a massive entity.
Over 10 extremely powerful members of the Fire Demon Race were gathered in the meeting hall. They were all high-level Gold Core members of the Fire Demon Race, and they all had unfriendly expressions. Everyone's gaze was focused on a woman who was as calm as water.
"Lavel, don't forget your own identity!" A middle-aged man was abnormally angry. Many seniors of the Fire Demon Race were present, including two elders. Lavel had actually dared to decline when he asked her to do something. "This is an order from the race, not a request! Furthermore, many seniors are here. How can you be impudent! "
To other civilizations, even level-6 or level-7 civilizations, the Highnesses of the Celestial Honors Class were extremely respected and would definitely be held in high regard. However, this was the Fire Demon Race, a powerful level-8 civilization. To them, the Highnesses of the Celestial Honors Class were not that respected. Although they also had great privileges in the race, they did not make the entire race subservient to them. At the very most, they were members of the higher-ups in the race.
"Cecil." Lavel quietly looked at the middle-aged man who was roaring at her. There was no respect in her eyes or words. There was even a hint of contempt. Although the other party was her senior, regardless of whether it was his strength or temperament, he was not worthy of his status as a senior. To put it bluntly, he was just a 'slightly older' playboy in the race. "Don't think too highly of yourself. I, Lavel, don't need you to teach me who I want to fight in the Life and Death Arena and how I want to do things."
"You!"
Lavel did not even look at him. She simply stood up and turned to look at the Fire Demon Elder, who was sitting in the main seat of the meeting hall. "Elder, this is a crucial moment for me to refine a level-4 artifact. I cannot be distracted. Find someone else to carry out this task."
The meeting hall was quiet. Elder Mihill calmly looked at this arrogant woman, and the faint smile on his face did not change at all. He quietly looked at her as if there was an invisible pressure that caused the entire meeting hall to fall silent.
The pressure that the elder emitted might be extremely terrifying to others. After all, he was a Gold Core expert at his peak. Even in the entire Land, he was one of the top experts. His silent pressure was enough to suffocate the other Gold Core experts present. However, Lavel did not feel anything. Her expression was the same, she did not care.
After waiting for about four or five seconds, she didn't get a response from the elder, so she just smiled faintly and nodded at the elder. "I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."
"Stop! How dare you … "Cecil was furious and shouted angrily. She wanted to leave without a result?
However, it was obvious that his shout did not have any binding force on Lavel. Lavel merely glanced at him, and a terrifying aura that was even more terrifying than Elder Mihill's shot out from her eyes. This caused the middle-aged Gold Core expert to shiver and his heart to palpitate violently. He swallowed the second half of his sentence and watched helplessly as she turned and left, not daring to speak.
Only after Lavel had left for a long time did Cecil suddenly catch his breath. He was both embarrassed and angry. "Elder! Look at her … "
"Enough." Elder Mihill waved his hand and calmly said, "Let her be. Who can force her to do something she does not want to do?"
"Hmph! I think she is too close to that Earthling. Could it be that she wants to betray her race?! "
"Cecil!" Elder Mihill calmly glanced at him. "I know that you hold a grudge against Lavel for crippling your son back then, but it was your son who provoked her first. Furthermore, you have to remember one thing at all times. Don't rely on your childhood friendship with the Patriarch to speak carelessly. To the race, you and your son are nothing compared to Lavel! Let me remind you to watch your mouth. If you dare to sow discord between the race and Lavel, even the Patriarch will not be able to protect you! "
"But this mission …"
"Lavel is not the only member of the Fire Demon Race in the Celestial Honors Class." Elder Mihill pondered for a moment. "Phumetheus' Heavenly Demon Realm mission should be completed soon. When he returns, leave the matter of dealing with that Earthling to him."
"Master Phumetheus!"
"The Heavenly Demon Realm mission is about to be completed? Oh my god, Master Phumetheus should not have condensed his Gold Core, but he has already … "
"The Heavenly Demon Realm mission is considered to be of medium difficulty among the Gold Core missions in the Celestial Honors Class, but Master Phumetheus was able to complete it as a Solid Core. This …"
There was a burst of discussion in the hall. No one cared about Cecil's half-green, half-red face.
Phumetheus was a monstrous genius who had emerged from the Fire Demon Race about ten years ago. He was the leader of the new generation and was regarded as the successor of the Fire Demon Race in the Heavenly Gates after Lavel.
"Heh heh, Master Phumetheus has not returned to the Heavenly Gates for two years because of the Heavenly Demon Realm mission. We can use this matter to let the newcomers know the future leader of the Heavenly Gates pupils."
"Hmph, that Earthling should be proud to be able to die in the hands of Master Phumetheus!"
…
Recently, Lao Wang had been staying in the library. He did not stay in the Pill Pavilion but wandered around the secret techniques area and the historical records area.
The battle with Gelawentu had affected him greatly. From Gelawentu's point of view, Wang Zhong's sudden increase in strength was because he had been hiding his strength all this while. It was also because of the strangeness of the artifact heavy sword, and so on. However, only Lao Wang knew very well that this was not the case … What really transformed him in that battle was the appearance of the Dragon Aura!
When he instinctively used the Dragon Ascending and Dragon Descending techniques, Wang Zhong did not realize this and was immersed in the joy of forging his Void Core. In fact, during the continuous fights, he clearly discovered that the power of his spiritual power was at a crushing level. Not only did it suppress non-living things, but it also suppressed other civilizations. This did not make Wang Zhong complacent. Instead, it gave him a strong sense of crisis. He did not know if this change was due to the Fate Stone or something else, but he had to be careful. That was why he bought the sword.
After this battle, his Void Core had changed even more. The Void Core had taken the form of a 'dragon'. In the early days, he did not have a very clear awareness of this, but after knowing that there were 'dragons' in the divine territory, it was a completely different matter. As the Playground of the Gods, 'gods and demons' were alluded to in the divine territory. Dragons probably existed as well, because in the legends on Earth, regardless of whether it was in the East or the West, they were the most powerful existences.
This made Lao Wang pay more attention. He did not rely solely on his strength along the way. Lao Wang was actually a very cautious person. No matter what, he had to figure out what was going on with his power and what kind of effects it would have when he used such power.
Of course, this might be a little too cautious, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Fortunately, there were no rumors of 'forbidden dragons' in the divine territory. At the very least, when the Illusion Sea Bone Demon faced the zombie dragon back then, there was no extra reaction.
Lao Wang wandered around the secret technique district for three days and looked through various introductions related to his true form, such as the origin, the end, the glory, and the end. There was even an introduction about the Dragon race. The Dragon race was the first civilization to touch the ceiling of the Fifth Dimension and were commonly known as level-9. However, due to their rarity, they disappeared in the process of building the divine territory. From the analysis of the words, Lao Wang almost came to a conclusion. Back then, the Dragon race led the other top civilizations in building the divine territory and contributed the most. In the early stages of the establishment of the divine territory, everyone sang praises of the greatness of the Dragon race. However, too much time had passed. With the birth of new top civilizations and the formation of a ruling class, in order to maintain the new order and rule, there seemed to be no need to sing praises anymore. Thus, in the past thousand years, matters regarding the Dragon race had faded.
This allowed Lao Wang to heave a sigh of relief. Please don't be a taboo. If that was the case, he would not be able to contend against the thighs of the divine territory. There was also some mention of the power of the Giant Dragons. They were in the form of the Western Dragons from the old era on Earth. They were born with the power to control the rules, as well as powerful intelligence and physical combat power. However, from the pictures, there were also some handsome humanoid existences among these Giant Dragons. They seemed to be a level higher than the Giant Dragons.
The Giant Dragons possessed Dragon Aura, which was a terrifying power that was different from Lao Wang's. Wang Zhong's essence was still Soul Power, but the innate suppression of other Soul Power mentioned above was slightly similar. This was the logic that followed in the divine territory. High-leveled Soul Power suppressing low-leveled Soul Power was a natural gift from a level-8 civilization.
Wang Zhong entered meditation. Now, his Void Core had completely changed. The shape of a dragon became more and more obvious, and his entire Void Core was golden and dazzling. Wang Zhong could divide his control of his power into three stages: the first stage was the normal state, where he controlled his Soul Power and divine cells. The second stage was his Void Core true form, which was his winged form, where he controlled the rules of ice and fire. The third stage was to activate his Dragon Aura. Although he was still in his winged form, as the controller, Wang Zhong was very clear that the nature of his power had completely changed. To be honest, he was not afraid of any Solid Core.
After spending more than a week in the library, Wang Zhong had a further understanding of his own power. Lao Wang was a person who was good at thinking. The matter with the Fire Demon Race seemed to have quietly come to an end.
Just two days ago, Erza, the Heavenly Shell Superintendent, personally sent a letter to Wang Zhong and briefly explained the results of the matter. This was considered to have fulfilled her promise to Wang Zhong.
The results did not surprise Lao Wang at all. Gelawentu had confessed that he had coveted the wealth of the Ocean Empire Planet civilization. Thus, he had used his position to falsely spread the contents of the Celestial Honors Mission. When he wanted to rope Wang Zhong in, he was sternly rejected by Wang Zhong. In his anger, he and a few of his subordinates attacked Wang Zhong. In the end, the arbitration tribunal of the Machinery Race determined that Gelawentu had committed a series of unforgivable crimes, such as betraying the Star Alliance and assassinating a member of the Celestial Honors Class. He had already been executed on the spot when the verdict came into effect last night.
A case that originally involved the secret competition between the Fire Demon Race and the Heavenly Shell Race, a game between the higher-ups, and even the assassination of a Celestial Honors Highness was directly concluded with the death of a mere Solid Core. As long as one had a brain, they would know that the water in this case was definitely bottomless. But so what? Furthermore, was this matter really as simple as this verdict?
It was definitely impossible to pursue this matter to the end. Otherwise, in order to maintain the dignity of the law, provoke the Heavenly Gates, and falsely spread an order, the entire Fire Demon Race would be punished! Who would dare? Who had that ability? If any powerful veteran level-8 civilization really wanted to shed all pretense of cordiality and kill the Fire Demon Race, unless the four races in the Heaven took action, the civilizations in the Land who were comparable in strength would keep each other in check. Even if the Heavenly Shell Race, the Titans, the Natural Race, and so on gathered the power of the entire Heavenly Gates, it would definitely not be an easy task to completely destroy the dying Fire Demon Race. No civilization was willing to pay such a huge price.
However, the Heavenly Shell Race and the Fire Demon Race had definitely reached some kind of agreement in private. There was no doubt that the Fire Demon Race had paid a sufficient price, suffered a huge loss, and lost face in exchange for the Heavenly Shell Race not saying anything about this matter and allowing them to follow the procedures. Of course, even though the Heavenly Shell Race had received benefits, they did not forget about Wang Zhong. In the superintendent's letter, other than introducing Gelawentu's verdict, she also mentioned three things.
First, the various lords in the Heavenly Gates cabinet were very satisfied with Wang Zhong's performance and handling of this mission. Even the Fire Demon Race, who had suffered a huge loss, had to pretend to applaud and praise Wang Zhong for getting rid of the black sheep of the Fire Demon Race … There was definitely a reward for him. The rewards for the Celestial Honors Mission were not small to begin with. There would be 200 contribution points, which would be equivalent to 1,000 points in the Celestial Honors Class. Furthermore, Wang Zhong's perfect performance and the proposal of the Heavenly Shell Race in the cabinet were almost unanimously approved. They gave him double the reward of 400 contribution points!
Second, the Heavenly Shell superintendent privately gave Wang Zhong a reward of 100 contribution points and 10,000 Gold Star Stones. On the surface, it was to commend his performance, but in reality, it was to give him some benefits … The benefits that he had received from the Fire Demon Race. Of course, this was definitely a very small share of the deal between the two races. Of course, with the superintendent's status, it was already not bad that she remembered Wang Zhong.
The third piece of news came from the Ocean Empire Planet. There was no need for the Machinery Race to investigate further. The Star Alliance had never sent any other Star Alliance Emissaries to the Ocean Empire Planet, so the crime of killing an emissary was naturally out of the question. They had been cleared of the crime and were extremely grateful to Wang Zhong. The Ocean Empire sent him a generous gift of 20,000 Gold Star Stones and two D-rank Machinery Race war fortresses. However, they had already left the Star Alliance and could not contact Wang Zhong. Thus, they passed it on to the Heavenly Shell Emissary who had gone to the Ocean Empire Planet to appease them.
In this way, he had obtained 500 Heavenly Gates contribution points, 30,000 Gold Star Stones, and two D-rank Machinery Race war fortresses that were of great strategic significance to the Earth. Lao Wang was in a carefree mood and felt as if he had made a fortune out of thin air. As he replied to the superintendent to express his gratitude, he also passed the two Machinery Race war fortresses that he had obtained along with 20,000 Gold Star Stones to Jhonas and asked him to pass them to Ma Dong through the Illusion Race. The Illusion Race had been in frequent contact with them, and there was also a considerable amount of trade and transactions going on between them. It was much more convenient to pass these kinds of materials over to the Heavenly Treasures Street.
…
A human Arena had become a moderate hot topic in their circle. Many civilizations had started to re-examine the Earthlings, a civilization that had just joined the divine territory. They were indeed very weak, but their adaptability surpassed most civilizations that were stronger than them. Aiolos was proof of this. Furthermore, as long as one was willing to open their ears to listen and look down, the humans had already begun to stand out and infiltrate various domains in the divine territory. Although they were not at the peak, there were still a few who had broken through the boundaries and attracted attention. There were even some rumors about the Heavenly Gates.
Furthermore, the humans were slightly different. Other than their adaptability, they seemed to like to break the rules … They were even slightly unreasonable.
Aiolos's Arena was breaking the rules that had been peaceful in the Arena circle for the past few hundred years. He had actually divided the Arena into "shares" in proportion and distributed them. The outstanding gladiators would become the owners of the Arena!
Although the people who obtained these "shares" could not change their "identities", they could enjoy the profits and dividends of the Arena through the proportion of the shares.
A brand new operating model for the Arena had appeared without any warning in the Arena, which had always followed the ancient rules and did everything according to tradition.
"They call this' respect '. This human insists on being extremely stupid. This is what a group of slave trash needs the most."
"Arrogant and despotic! Sooner or later, he will know what tradition is! "
"The problem is that he has actually distributed the so-called shares to the gladiators. He even has slaves! What a scandal! "
Aiolos had won a lot of respect from the lower-class civilizations. He had even changed the humans on Earth. However, from the perspective of the Arena circle, many veteran bosses who ran the Arena were filled with disgust towards this human who had suddenly appeared and disrupted the situation!
Aiolos's share policy had broken the traditional rules of the circle and the established environment. Although it had not affected the vested interests of the other Arena owners, and there was no direct competition or conflict between the areas and areas that these Arena owners operated in and Aiolos's Arena, a storm had been set off on the originally calm sea. These changes that were happening had increased uncontrollable risks.
In the divine territory, very few people were willing to take risks unless they were at the end of the road.
Of course, this was what the Arena owners hated! Meanwhile, in the gladiator circle, there was a completely different attitude towards Aiolos's reform!
Every gladiator who had come into contact with the "shares" would enthusiastically and almost crazily raise their hands in approval. If there were two hands, they would raise their hands. If there were 100 hands, they would raise their hands. There was no one who did not raise their hands.
Some gladiators simply did not care about this bit of money. The only thing they had left was a sense of existence. Only Aiolos, who was also a gladiator and also from a lower-class civilization, could understand him.
Aiolos had become their god and the god of countless gladiators. Even the other Arenas were spreading Aiolos's legend. He had gone from a slave gladiator to an Arena owner. This was simply inconceivable.
What made them respect Aiolos even more was that he had become a free citizen again and had become a lofty Arena owner. However, he had not given up his identity as a gladiator!
Aiolos would still participate in the Arena. As long as the challengers could prove that he had the strength to challenge them, Aiolos would never owe these people a chance to challenge him!
There were countless people who wanted to kill Aiolos in the Arena. Some came for the sake of fame, while others harbored other motives. If these challengers were lined up, they might be able to line up from one end of the Heavenly River to the other side of the river.
"Roar …"
Suddenly, an intense roar interrupted the discussion of the Arena owners. They turned their attention to the Arena outside.
Two gladiators were risking their lives and fighting each other. However, what attracted the Arena owners was not their strength or their powerful techniques, but the passion that had burst forth between them!
It was an extremely intense passion that infected the entire Arena, causing the audience to sink into a passion that was as if they were filled with blood and rage. It was a passion that allowed them to immerse themselves in it and vent the emotions that had accumulated for a day or more.
The Arena owners watched with grave expressions. This was a state that the gladiators under them would not have. Perhaps they could use life and death to make the gladiators fight intensely, but they would definitely not allow their battles to be filled with the influence of the collision of life and death! This influence was obviously able to ignite the emotions of the audience. They also saw many VIP viewing rooms lighting up with the glow of rewards. It was very difficult to believe that this was just a warm-up competition! However, they had already reached the standard of watching an ordinary competition — — at the very least, the income of the Arena had already reached this standard!
Of course, not all the Arena owners were conservative.
At that moment, in another VIP room, Tsarilorhuan was entertaining the three Arena owners. They had powerful resources in the circle and had connections with the officials of the Star Alliance.
"Everyone, a shareholding system has brought about a different atmosphere. The most direct observation is the enthusiasm of the gladiators for battles. We no longer need to use life and death to threaten them to fight. Many times, they yearn to go on stage to prove that they have the strength and qualifications to obtain shares in the Arena."
Tsarilorhuan spoke with fervor and assurance. After defeating the Crystal person, he and Aiolos each took over this Arena. Aiolos was responsible for building his reputation, while he, who was a Gold Titan and a new genius of the Titan race, was responsible for building connections.
The three Arena Masters were also watching the duel that was going on in the arena with grave expressions. This wasn't a life-and-death duel, but the level of fighting between the two gladiators had already surpassed the appeal of a life-and-death duel!
In traditional situations, as long as it was not a life and death battle where only one person could survive, the gladiators would try their best to fight very steadily. Of course, there would be a certain visual effect, but the audience was not stupid. A battle that did not have any influence could be seen with one glance.
This kind of situation had always been detrimental to the development of the Arena, but there had never been a solution. It was impossible for the Arena to arrange a life and death battle for every battle. Very quickly, there would not be any gladiators available.
The Sacred Arena had obviously changed this situation!
"Shares are indeed a good method. They have increased the determination of the gladiators to fight. Furthermore, they are only enjoying the dividends. The rest is still in our hands. What effect is there? Most importantly, our income will increase greatly. This is a good thing that kills many birds with one stone. "
Tsarilorhuan raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled as he spoke. He did not completely understand the thoughts of his Earthling brother, but the Gold Titan did not care. He was willing to play big with Aiolos. He wanted to witness just how far Earthlings could go. Furthermore, the two arrogant brothers that Aiolos had mentioned were said to be so impressive that they did not seem like Earthlings. In any case, he had already made a bet with Aiolos.
"Indeed, I can accept the cooperation plan that you have proposed with some conditions."
"No, no, no. Honorable sir, you might not be clear about one thing. Once the revolution begins, you know how fast it will go. Look at the audience below. Look at their expressions. In your arena, even if it's a battle of life and death, it's hard to see such focused expressions on their faces, right? Now, they have been spoiled rotten here. After they get used to our characteristics, how long do you think you will need to adapt to these spoiled audiences? "
Tsarilorhuan sipped his wine. The smile at the corner of his mouth caused the eyes of the three Arena owners to twitch.
"Thus, there are no conditions. You can either agree to it or wait and see. However, time will not turn back. The next time we talk, it will be a different situation!"
"Are you sure that this' Super Competition in the divine territory 'that you have mentioned will really succeed?"
"The evidence is right in front of you. It's just a share restructuring, and we've turned Gladiator, who has always been opposed to the arena, into a part of the arena. I've already shown you this month's financial report. Look at how wide your eyes are! Do you want me to laugh again to remind the three of you? Change is a good thing. If we take a step forward, we will be the future leaders. If we take a step slower, we can only be led by others. Remember, the Super Competition only needs 12 Arenas. In the future, if anyone else wants to join, they will need our agreement. "
Tsarilorhuan put down his wine glass and looked at the changing expressions on the other side. He knew that he had won this battle.
"The three of you, believe me. We are changing the world. We will make the Arena circles better and grander. We will have even more influence in the divine territory. To put it more bluntly, we will earn 100 times or even 1,000 times more money than in the past."
"Then … Cheers! For cooperation. "
"Cheers. For history. Now, we are creating history. You, me, him, and him are the main characters of this time. For us, cheers!" Tsarilorhuan knew how to stir up the atmosphere at this moment. "Cheers. For history.
Half an hour later …
Aiolos looked at the unbelievably generous contract in his hand. There was the official seal of the Star Alliance on it. This was a contract that no one could break.
"Didn't they ask us about our bottom line?"
"Bottom line? Talking about bottom line with a gold Titan? They would not have such thoughts. At most, they would want a discount on the Super Competition. To them, there is no problem with investing, but none of them want to use the reputation of their Arena. "
"How did you trick them?" Aiolos smiled and shook his head. The plan for the Super Competition Tournament that he had planned was to unify all the Arenas in the divine territory. From the start, many large-scale and well-known Arenas had to join in. Thus, they would form a home and away league system that would maximize the number of spectators and turn them into die-hard fans of different Arena teams. They would no longer simply watch the competition. The fixed and standardized competition schedule and competition days would also help the spectators choose the competition that they were truly interested in.
Of course, this plan had an even greater impact and was even more dangerous than the changes brought about by a shareholding system!
It was simply a miracle that Tsarilorhuan had been able to convince the three of them to become their partners without any conditions.
"Trick them? I want to as well, but these fellows are much more cunning than we are. Only with our current reputation and reputation can we take the lead in this matter. Meanwhile, as the controllers, every Colosseum owner's goal is to change the current lax situation. "
Tsarilorhuan waved his hand in understanding. Then, he poured a glass for Aiolos.
Aiolos took the glass of wine and gently clinked his glass with Tsarilorhuan's. Then, he drank it in one gulp. "What's the matter?"
Tsarilorhuan also drank it in one gulp. Then, he nodded and said, "I finally have news about the matter you asked me to find out."
Aiolos's breathing stopped. His gaze was firmly fixed on Tsarilorhuan's face as he waited for him to continue.
"Ahem, can you not be so calm?"
"Am I? I'm very nervous. "The veins on Aiolos's forehead throbbed.
"I couldn't tell … I was just joking. Quickly put away your fists. I'm not interested in fighting with a pervert like you today. Oh, the Seductress is a little strange. At the start, they only told me to scram." In the past, Tsarilorhuan had a 50% chance of defeating Aiolos. However, the current Aiolos was so terrifying that even the Titans had to retreat. The speed at which he improved was unimaginable, especially after he obtained resources. Aiolos was simply born to fight.
"Then?"
"According to the information from my subordinates, a messenger flew into the Seductress residence. Then, he was called back. The Seductress agreed to the special relationship between you and the Seductress. You can be with her, but there is a special condition. Can you guess what it is?"
"Could it be that they want the Arena?"
"Correct answer, but there is no reward. What do you think? No matter what you choose, I have no objections. "
Aiolos stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead. Countless thoughts flashed across his mind like shooting stars, and his gaze became firm. "Asking for an exorbitant price and asking for a price on the ground. The Seductresses are so arrogant. A place like the Arena does not suit them at all. Thus, they do not want the Arena. Instead, they want other valuable places."
"Are you saying … that there is a deeper meaning behind this?"
"There definitely is. The divine territory is not too stable. Help me check if there is any special news about the Earth recently." Aiolos smiled.
In terms of combat and sensitivity, what civilization could compare to the Earthlings?
… …
The matter between the Heavenly Shell Race and the Fire Demon Race had been settled, but this did not mean that the matter between the Fire Demon Race and Wang Zhong had also been settled.
Someone knocked on the door of Lao Wang's mushroom house. When he opened the door, he saw a man with a face as red as jade standing outside.
This man looked to be less than 20 years old and even younger than Wang Zhong. However, there was a slight smile on his face, and his bright eyes were dazzling. He did not give off the feeling that he was immature at all. On the contrary, there was an extremely sharp aura hidden in the depths of his soul.
"You are Wang Zhong, right?" The Fire Demon sized up Lao Wang without the slightest scruple.
"You are?"
"Phumetheus from the Fire Demon Race." The man smiled, and his bright eyes stopped on Wang Zhong's face for a moment. "Aren't you going to invite Senior Brother in to have a seat?"
Senior Brother?
Lao Wang also noticed the Celestial Honors Ring on the other party's finger. He was a member of the Celestial Honors Class from the Fire Demon Race.
This was not strange. Lao Wang really did not know many members of the Celestial Honors Class. They were all elusive. Furthermore, other than Senior Lavel and a few other top Celestial Honors, most of the other Celestial Honors were either training and cultivating outside, carrying out Celestial Honors missions, or exploring various dangerous places in the Fifth Dimension. Phumetheus should be one of them.
"Heh heh, please come in."
The Fire Demon Race was definitely not friendly to him. This person was probably an enemy and not a friend. However, Wang Zhong could not see any hostility or hatred on his face or in his eyes. On the contrary, there was a kind of indifference. His words seemed rather casual, but in reality, there was a hidden sharpness in them. This was the first young man who could unknowingly take the initiative when talking to Lao Wang. If this person was his enemy, it would be much more interesting than facing a fool like Balor.
"The room is not bad." Phumetheus looked at the layout of the mushroom house, smiled, and said, "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the essentials. It's a bit like Earth. It doesn't have a lot of territory and resources, but it can give birth to a genius like you. It's surprising."
"I can't be considered a genius. I'm just lucky." Wang Zhong smiled and replied, "Senior Brother, are you here to chat with me?"
"Haha." Phumetheus laughed. "Junior Brother seems to be an impatient person. Rumor has it that Junior Brother Wang Zhong abhors evil and has a fiery temper. If someone offends you, you will definitely return the favor. You never care about the other party's identity. Now that I've seen you today, you really live up to your reputation."
"You flatter me. I'm just a nobody, so I don't know much etiquette. "Wang Zhong patiently messed around with the other party.
As if sensing the impatience in Wang Zhong's tone, Phumetheus smiled and said, "Junior Brother, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. Let me introduce myself."
"Phumetheus, from the Fire Demon Race. I'm a Heavenly Gates pupil of the 56th Violent Demon Era. I'm now training in the Celestial Honors Class. I spent two years on the last Celestial Honors Mission and missed out on your exciting year in the Heavenly Gates. It's really a pity. But personally, after hearing about your deeds, I admire you very much. You are very similar to me ten years ago. Hehe, there are tens of thousands of races and countless creatures in the Land. It's a great fate to be able to find someone who is similar to you. " Phumetheus paused, but the smile on his face did not change. He looked straight into Wang Zhong's eyes with a sharp but not aggressive look. "My last Celestial Honors Mission was in the Heavenly Demon World. During the two years of the mission, I happened to get two Demonic Palace tokens from the Heavenly Demon World. I intend to invite Junior Brother to join me. I wonder if Junior Brother is interested?"
The Heavenly Demon World was a place that was ranked among the major secret realms in the Heavenly Gates. Countless eras ago, it openly opposed the four races in Heaven and claimed to be the fifth level-9 civilization at that time. It united countless civilizations in the Dark World to challenge the four races in Heaven's dominance over the Fifth Dimension. The two sides fought for several eras, and the final result was the defeat of the Heavenly Demon World. Its civilization was destroyed, and the Heavenly Demon World, which was originally as prosperous as Heaven, became a secret training ground for the Heavenly Gates. It was said that there were countless treasures and inheritances left behind by supreme experts who had surpassed the Gold Core Realm. Although it was dangerous and the death rate of intruders was extremely high, it still attracted waves of Heavenly Gates elites.
The token from the Demonic Palace that Phumetheus mentioned was obviously the proof of entry to a certain treasure or inheritance ground in the Heavenly Demon World. Lao Wang had seen something similar to the token from the Heavenly Demon World on the exchange list in the Heavenly Objects Pavilion. It was worth thousands of contribution points, and it was pitifully little. Phumetheus actually wanted to give one to him for free?
Was he planning to lure him out and kill him, or was he preparing to rope him in?
It was more likely that Phumetheus wanted to rope him in. Not only did he acknowledge Wang Zhong's strength, but it was also more likely that he wanted to trick the Heavenly Shell Race. After all, Wang Zhong and the Heavenly Shell Race were in their honeymoon period. If Wang Zhong suddenly accepted a great benefit from the Fire Demon Race and went to the Heavenly Demon World with Phumetheus, what was the difference between this and openly betraying the Heavenly Shell Race and joining the enemy? Whether it was in terms of reputation or face, this would be like slapping the Heavenly Shell Race in the face.
"With my strength, I'm afraid that going to the Heavenly Demon World is still a little too dangerous." Lao Wang smiled. "I'm afraid I don't have the fortune to enjoy Senior Brother's good intentions. Let's wait a few more years."
This perfunctory tone could be smelled from three meters away.
Phumetheus smiled slightly and did not try to persuade or deny it. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "I heard that your Earth civilization has just established a contact point in the Catanlyke District and has even been promoted to a level-4.5 civilization and entered the level-5 assessment sequence? Heh heh, for ordinary civilizations that have just entered the Star Alliance, this is indeed an unimaginable promotion speed, and they have obtained great benefits. However, that is only for ordinary civilizations. I feel that for a talent like you, Junior Brother, your mother race, the Earth civilization, should obtain more. "
Wang Zhong smiled and looked at him. This guy was indeed impressive. It seemed that he had already studied Wang Zhong thoroughly and knew what Wang Zhong cared about and wanted the most.
Phumetheus said faintly, "The status of the Fire Demon Race in the Star Alliance is not inferior to that of the Heavenly Shell Race. What the Heavenly Shell Race can give Earth, we can give you more. Double? Twice? Or even ten times? To us, this is just a distribution of benefits in the Star Alliance. What does it matter? Before coming here, I have already submitted an application to the higher-ups of the Fire Demon Race. As long as the higher-ups approve, the Earth civilization can directly be promoted to a level-5 civilization tomorrow. We can even guarantee that the Earth will enter the level-6 assessment sequence within three years. "
"Also." Phumetheus' voice was rather confident because the conditions he proposed were impossible for a low-leveled civilization to refuse and be unable to refuse. In the previous evaluation of the Fire Demon Race, Wang Zhong was a guy with a temper and backbone, but at the same time, he was also a ruthless person who would do anything to survive. "The Fire Demon Race has a lot of trade in the peripheral worlds, and we also have a lot of authority. The Earth civilization has just started in the Star Alliance and urgently needs support from various economic and trade partners. Usually, it takes at least hundreds of years for a civilization to establish these social relationships, but as long as they cooperate with the Fire Demon Race, it is actually just a matter of a word. Junior Brother, what do you think? "
"Senior Brother." Lao Wang smiled slightly. "I think it is more practical to rely on oneself."
"Oh? Even such conditions can't erase Junior Brother's unhappiness over the small misunderstanding with Gelawentu? "
