Everyone knew that the current prosperity in the Heavenly Treasures Street concealed a turbulent, turbulent uneasiness. There were more and more people from the various powers who were scouting and scouting for information in the Heavenly Treasures Street. Wang Zhong's reputation when he was alive was gradually losing its restraining and deterrent effect on these powers. An unforeseen event could happen at any time. Many merchants in the Heavenly Treasures Street, including Old Cow, Mugthol, and the others, waited nervously every day. Furthermore, this day had finally arrived.
Blue Demon Clan.
At that moment, a large group of tall and strong members of the Blue Demon race surrounded Old Cow's flower shop. The Blue Demon race was considered a large race in the Catanlyke District and was a standard powerful level-6 civilization. There was even a Gold Core in the race and they occupied three streets in the Catanlyke District. Among the many powers in the Catanlyke District, they were considered the most powerful and influential. Before this, when Wang Zhong was still around, the Blue Demon Race and the Heavenly Treasures Street had some friendly relations. They had never asked about the matters of the Heavenly Treasures Street, nor had they become enemies with the Heavenly Treasures Street. However, they had never expected that they would be the first to cause trouble when so many races coveted them. They probably had their eyes on the economy of the Heavenly Treasures Street that had been brought about by the Sea Emperor Pill Shop. Now, the Heavenly Treasures Street was a big fat piece of meat that was not inferior to the central areas of the Catanlyke District.
At this time, three Void Core powerhouses with astonishing auras led dozens of Blue Demon people to guard the door of the flower shop, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. The neighbors who surrounded them to watch the show had already blocked the entire street, so not even a drop of water could trickle through. Even though there were so many onlookers, they were still able to remain silent at this moment. This was because there were waves of unbridled chatter coming from the shop. They did not seem to care about the 'listeners' outside. Instead, they deliberately raised their volume as if they wanted everyone on the street to hear them clearly.
"The Earth is merely a level-5 civilization. According to the laws of the Star Alliance, they only have the right to establish communication points here. What qualifications do they have to occupy the Heavenly Treasures Street and collect management fees from many merchants? The Blue Demon Race is also reminding you out of good intentions. You have disregarded the laws of the Star Alliance. If you continue to be stubborn, be careful that your race will be exterminated. "
"The legal owner of the Heavenly Treasures Street is me, goblin Mugthol! The Earth was merely hired by me to help manage and manage the Heavenly Treasures Street. The Goblin Race is an orthodox level-7 civilization. We have a place in the middle circle. Is there any problem? "
"Haha, a sinner sentenced to 50 years of labor in the Milky Way Sandpit. You were expelled from the Demon Clan 50 years ago, right? Furthermore, you rejected the demon race's recall order a year ago. What kind of demon race are you? How dare you use the name of a level-7 civilization to apply for legal ownership of the Heavenly Treasures Street? "
"Hahaha!! Although I was sentenced to serve on the battlefield and was expelled from the goblin race, since my term of service was over, I naturally regained my status as a first-class citizen of the Star Alliance. Even if I did not rely on the protection of a level-7 civilization, I had enough qualifications to establish a new force with my martial strength. The Crocodile Deity Palace is my brand. The Heavenly Treasures Street is also under the Crocodile Deity Palace and not the goblin race! If you want to find trouble, I'm afraid it would be better for you to investigate clearly before coming back. "
"Martial power? Ha ha ha, this is the reason why I came to persuade you today. Do you really think that you have enough military power to occupy the Heavenly Treasures Street? "
"The Star Alliance has already acknowledged my ownership of the Heavenly Treasures Street. Can the Blue Demon Race still openly snatch it?"
"Heh heh, the Blue Demon Race will not do anything that violates the laws of the Star Alliance." The voice laughed unrestrainedly with a hint of disdain and mockery. "However, my ancestor has also said that if you, little crocodile, are sensible and offer the Heavenly Treasures Street to the Blue Demon Race, not only will we ensure the safety of the Heavenly Treasures Street, we will also ensure that you, little crocodile, will live a carefree life in Catanlyke District. However, if you are not sensible, the Blue Demon Race will come to the Heavenly Treasures Street every day. We will teach you a lesson every time we see you. Don't hide. It's useless even if you hide. Heh heh … Of course, I'm willing for you to choose the latter. After all, it has been a long time since anyone in Catanlyke District dared to reject the Blue Demon Race. Our days have been too dull, and we need to find some fun to change the mood. Brother Mugthol, what do you think of this suggestion? "
This was another loophole in the Star Alliance's laws. Mugthol already had ownership of the Heavenly Treasures Street. Under normal circumstances, as long as he did not make any mistakes, other powers could not openly snatch it. However, if they did not snatch it, they would cause trouble for you every day. This was exactly the same as what the Shell Shade Faction had done in the past. However, they were more magnanimous than the Shell Shade Faction. They did not cause trouble for ordinary merchants, but for managers.
In other words, they would beat you until you were convinced and until you surrendered.
The Heavenly Treasures Street was quiet. Everyone could clearly hear the conversation in the flower shop.
Ever since the Earth and Mugthol had taken over the Heavenly Treasures Street, the taxes here had been maintained at the lowest level in the entire Catanlyke District. On the contrary, business was getting better and better. All the merchants were grateful to Wang Zhong, Mugthol, and the Earth from the bottom of their hearts. At that moment, when they heard the Blue Demon Race threaten Mugthol, many people were filled with grief and indignation. Of course, there were also many who were deeply worried about their unknown future. Even if they did not mention the friendship that the Earth and Mugthol had built over the past two years, the taxes in the area under the Blue Demon Race's jurisdiction had always been the highest in the entire Catanlyke District. Once they took over the Heavenly Treasures Street, the taxes would definitely be adjusted.
At that moment, everyone's ears were perked up as they waited for Mugthol and Old Cow's reply. If they decided to give up, everyone could understand. However, this also meant that everyone's good days had come to an end.
"Ha ha ha ha!" Mugthol's loud laughter sounded from the house. The pride in his laughter caused the spirits of everyone in the Heavenly Treasures Street to rise. "I, Mugthol, am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Back then, when the Shell Shade Faction came over, I had already kneeled down and licked their boots! How could you even have a chance? "
"Since we have already shed all pretense of cordiality, there is nothing more to say." He suddenly slammed the table and did not show any fear as he faced the Solid Core elder from the Blue Demon Race who was sitting in front of him. He shouted in a stern voice, "Get lost immediately! The Heavenly Treasures Street does not accept any form of sale or transfer! If the Blue Demon Race really has any tricks up their sleeves, feel free to use them. If I frown before I close my eyes, I will not be considered to have been raised by my parents! "
"Uncle Thol, good job! You are a man! "
"The Heavenly Treasures Street does not sell or transfer. Give up!"
"The Star Alliance has its laws. The Heavenly Treasures Street belongs to Uncle Thol. If the Blue Demon Race wants to snatch it, we will go with the Blue Demon Race to the Star Alliance to be reasonable!"
"Blue Demon Race! Get lost from the Heavenly Treasures Street! "
The originally quiet street finally boiled with Mugthol's bold words. Now, the Heavenly Treasures Street was flourishing with each passing day, and there were many opportunities to become rich. Thus, not a single merchant was willing to change shop at this time. Countless voices of support rose and fell on the street. In an instant, it was like a boiling cauldron, and the emotions of the crowd were surging.
"Heh heh, a group of ants dares to scold the Blue Demon Race in public. Slap them!"
When they heard the calm order from the person in the room, a few Void Cores who were waiting outside the door smirked and attacked at the same time!
Pa pa pa pa pa pa.
A series of loud and clear slaps formed a line, and the street instantly fell silent. Closely after …
Thump thump thump thump!!
The ones who were slapped were the Void Core experts from the Blue Demon Race! A few figures, who had just jumped up, fell back to the door of Old Cow's shop at a speed much faster than when they had jumped up. They could not stop themselves from stumbling and finally sat on the ground. They felt dizzy, and their cheeks were swollen. They were so numb that they simply lost consciousness.
"How dare you attack people in the Heavenly Treasures Street? Who gave you the guts?"
Before the Void Cores could return to their senses, a calm voice sounded in the air.
At that moment, the Void Cores were still in a dizzy state and could not clearly see who the figure in the air was. However, the surrounding spectators suddenly exploded after a short period of extreme silence.
"Oh my god! Grand- Grandpa Zhong? "
"That's Grandpa Zhong! Grandpa Zhong is not dead. Grandpa Zhong is back! "
"These are all rumors! Ha ha ha ha ha! I knew it. Those are all rumors! Grandpa Zhong is so powerful. How could he suddenly die in the hands of a bunch of rats from the underground world?! "
Following a few screams, the entire Heavenly Treasures Street instantly boiled over. Crazy cheers reverberated throughout the world.
Then, a few silhouettes rushed out of the house.
There were Mugthol, Old Cow, and Little Muddle, who were pleasantly surprised and had tears in their eyes. There were also two Solid Cores from the Blue Demon Race whose expressions had turned extremely ugly.
"Wang Zhong!!" Little Muddle could not help but scream.
Lao Wang smiled at her. Then, he turned to look at the two Solid Cores from the Blue Demon Race. "Were you the one who asked them to slap themselves?"
Pa.
The Solid Core from the Blue Demon Race reacted extremely quickly and simply slapped his own face. Just a second ago, he was still brimming with arrogance, but at that moment, he was full of smiles. "Your Highness, you have misunderstood. I thought that my disappointing subordinates were the ones who were clamoring just now and just wanted them to slap themselves. Who knew that these beasts would misunderstand me? If Your Highness Wang Zhong had not stopped them in time, I'm afraid that the Blue Demon Race would not have been able to avoid the crime of bullying the weak. I am extremely grateful!"
The surroundings were instantly filled with wanton roars of laughter. Once Lao Wang returned, everyone in the entire Heavenly Treasures Street immediately felt confident. The Blue Demon Race, which was unreachable to the entire Heavenly Treasures Street, was now like a dog wagging its tail and begging for pity. This simply made people feel proud and elated.
"…" Lao Wang was speechless. Being able to be this shameless was also a kind of ability. He calmly looked at the Solid Core. "I heard that the Blue Demon Race wants to chase Earthlings and Mugthol out of the Heavenly Treasures Street?"
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood again! The Blue Demon Race has already occupied three large streets in Catanlyke District. Even if Your Highness gives the Heavenly Treasures Street to us, how can the Blue Demon Race manage it? " The Solid Core was full of smiles. "Previously, I said that because I saw that there were too many people who coveted the Heavenly Treasures Street and wanted to use the name of the Blue Demon Race to help Brother Mugthol and the Earth civilization. Now that Your Highness has returned and intimidated everyone, naturally, no one will dare to have any ideas about the Heavenly Treasures Street. The Blue Demon Race can also retreat after accomplishing our mission. "
In reality, one could not blame the Blue Demon Race for being so useless. They were a mere level-6 civilization. Even if they had a Gold Core and could be considered a powerful existence in the Catanlyke District, in the entire Land, regardless of whether it was their power or that unknown Gold Core, they were not considered much. If not, they would not have stayed in the middle circle and become a local tyrant after living in the Star Alliance for so many years. Meanwhile, the people that Wang Zhong came into contact with were truly high-leveled civilizations in the Star Alliance like the Heavenly Shell Race. Even the Blood Demon Race, which Lao Wang had always looked down on, was an outstanding civilization among the level-7 civilizations. How could a mere Blue Demon Race dare to challenge someone like Wang Zhong? This was an existence that could even kill Phumetheus. If he was really angered, even the Gold Core almighty in their clan would suffer.
Most importantly, after so many things had happened, he had not died even after falling into the Netherworld River. No matter what had happened, he was not someone they could provoke.
Therefore, even though the surrounding laughter continued, the Solid Core from the Blue Demon Race did not care at all. In fact, he kept smiling.
"I don't like to beat around the bush." Wang Zhong calmly glanced at him. "Slap yourself 100 times and apologize to Mugthol. Then, ask the Blue Demon Race to send 500,000 Gold Star Stones over. Then, this matter will be settled. Otherwise, go back and tell your Ancestor Blue Demon that I, Wang Zhong, will personally pay a visit and witness the methods of the number one almighty Gold Core in the Catanlyke District. "
The Solid Core's face instantly turned deathly pale.
The Ancestor Blue Demon was the god of their race, but he had been looked down upon like this. To be honest, if another Solid Core dared to say this, he would definitely not have survived today. But this was Wang Zhong …
"Today is my fault. My Ancestor has always admired Your Highness. If he knows about this, I'm afraid that the punishment for me will be even heavier." The Solid Core was rather alert and took responsibility for everything. He was afraid that it would seem that the Ancestor Blue Demon was afraid of Wang Zhong. "Your Highness, you are very magnanimous. I can't thank you enough."
"You, go back to the race and bring 500,000 Gold Star Stones over!" He instructed his Void Core.
Slap slap slap slap. There was a series of slaps. The Solid Core from the Blue Demon Race continuously slapped himself. When he had slapped himself 100 times, the money had arrived. He respectfully placed the money at the entrance of the flower shop with Wang Zhong and dejectedly ran away without a trace.
Boundless cheers instantly sounded throughout the street, and shouts of "Uncle Zhong" could be heard everywhere. The news of Wang Zhong's death had caused the entire Heavenly Treasures Street to be worried and fearful. They felt that they had lost their pillar of support. Now, their pillar of support had returned. Furthermore, he had suppressed the ambitions of the Blue Demon Race in such a powerful manner. With such a powerful guardian, why would they worry that the Heavenly Treasures Street would not prosper?
Lao Wang looked at the excited and fanatical crowd that filled the street. What kind of eyesight did he have? He could easily tell that there were many unusual gazes that were filled with shock and doubt. These people were probably spies that the various races had placed in the Heavenly Treasures Street. Furthermore, the news of his return would probably spread throughout the entire Star Alliance within an hour.
Furthermore, as one of the key figures in the Netherworld King and the Ninth Shade Faction incident, he would probably receive greetings from his allies like the Heavenly Shell Race and the Machinery Race, as well as plots and traps from his enemies like the Fire Demon Race and the Blood Demon Race. His rare days of leisure had come to an end.
Then, come!
Lao Wang had already made preparations. In particular, after learning that the Earth had dealt with a Solid Core from the Blood Demon Race, the Earth's situation and potential in the Star Alliance were worlds apart from before. The Sea Emperor was right. There were definitely many people who coveted the Earth. Rather than passively waiting to dismantle their dirty tricks, he might as well take the initiative to attack. It was time to go all out!
… …
As expected, just as he contacted Ma Dong through Old Cow and understood the current situation of the Earth, news from various places continuously spread to the Heavenly Treasures Street. The Heavenly Treasures Street was now connected to the Star Alliance's communication network and could enter the civilization network in the Fifth Dimension. Thus, they received news from various large civilizations extremely quickly.
First, there were news from Rhode D from the Machinery Race and Wanwan Min from the insect race. After all, the Machinery Race had their own internal shared network, and there was a law enforcement squad on duty in the Heavenly Treasures Street. It was just that the Blue Demon Race was only limited to words, and the law enforcement squad did not have the right to interfere with their jurisdiction. However, just as Wang Zhong appeared, the law enforcement squad from the Machinery Race had already discovered him. Once they shared their internal network, all the members of the Machinery Race knew about it. Since the Machinery Race knew, the insect race also knew. However, the messages that these people sent were private. It was nothing more than to confirm Lao Wang's current situation and to express their excitement and happiness.
Then, there was a message from the Heavenly Shell Superintendent Erza. As the controller of the Heavenly Gates, her information network was definitely not inferior to anyone else's. However, there were not many words in the message. She asked him to immediately return to the Heavenly Gates and meet her before he went to report on the Celestial Honors Mission.
Even if the superintendent did not instruct him, Lao Wang would have done this. This time, the Heavenly Shell Race was very loyal to the Earth. In fact, they were so loyal that Lao Wang was slightly surprised. Lao Wang was very grateful to the Heavenly Shell Superintendent. Furthermore, if he wanted to communicate with the higher-ups of the Heavenly Gates about Mu Zi, he first had to communicate with the Heavenly Shell Superintendent.
Then, the various forces and his friends in the Heavenly Gates received the news slightly later, but their reactions were enthusiastic. Naturally, they did not mention those who had good relationships with Wang Zhong and the Earth. At that moment, some civilizations and forces that did not have any relations with Wang Zhong and the Earth also sent congratulatory messages, as if they had a deep relationship with the Earth and Wang Zhong and were not very happy about this.
It could be seen that regardless of whether the Earth would descend into these so-called troubled times, at the very least, more people were paying attention to the Earth, and their influence had increased. These things were the real reality.
"That's really great!" In the video, when Ma Dong heard about Mu Zi's situation from Wang Zhong, his tense heart finally relaxed. Wang Zhong was a huge pillar of the Earth, but so was Mu Zi. If Mu Zi had really been possessed by the Netherworld King like the rumors said, then the blow to the Earth would be too great.
Now, Wang Zhong was fine, and Mu Zi was also fine. On the contrary, they had subdued the Netherworld King. Furthermore, looking at the attitude of the Heavenly Shell Race in dealing with this matter, once Wang Zhong returned to the Heavenly Gates to negotiate properly, all the crises that the Earth had faced over the past few days would be easily resolved. In fact, the Earth might even reach a higher level as a result. "You don't have to worry about the Earth. After dealing with that black sheep, the Patriarch Society is already of one mind. When I announce the news of your return, everyone will put down all their burdens and unite. I dare say that the Earth has never been as united as it is now!"
Ma Dong laughed heartily. It was obvious that the huge stone in his heart had finally been lifted. "There's one more thing. Emily and the others have been clamoring to come to the Land, especially after they killed that Solid Core from the Blood Demon Race. This group of fellows has become extremely arrogant. Wang Zhong, look at your side …"
Being able to kill a Solid Core meant that this group of people had enough capital to come to the Land and wander around.
"There's no rush. As long as there is a spirit power laboratory, they will still have a lot of room for improvement even if they stay on the Earth. Furthermore … "A bright light flashed in Wang Zhong's eyes." This time, I will have some big movements when I return to the Heavenly Gates. I'm afraid that I won't be able to divert my attention to make arrangements for them. "
"Understood." Ma Dong nodded. "Your side is the most important. As for Emily and the others, I will appease them. No matter what you want to do, just go ahead and do it! Furthermore, with the current speed of development, I believe that the Earth will be able to give you real help and support very soon. "
The Earth had not been idle during this period of time. In addition to actively reorganizing their internal affairs and working together, they had also been following up on various aspects of intelligence gathering, analysis, and so on. Lao Wang obtained a list of information from Ma Dong. On it was all the information about the various civilizations related to the Earth, as well as their attitudes towards the Earth.
Although only the Heavenly Shell Race, the Machinery Race, the Illusion Race, the Ocean Empire Planet, and a few other races could be confirmed to have a friendly relationship, only the Blood Demon Race could be confirmed to be an enemy.
Most of the other civilizations maintained a neutral attitude towards this matter. After all, the Blood Demon Race had just suffered a huge loss at the Heavenly Gates because of the Earth. Now, no one knew what kind of attitude the higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates had towards the Earth. Furthermore, previously, many people looked down on the Earth because they felt that the Earth only had one Wang Zhong. There were countless civilizations in the history of the Star Alliance that only had one or two experts who had risen by chance. Furthermore, these civilizations often did not have any real strength and were only in the limelight for a short period of time. One should not think that an eternal Gold Core was just an eternal lifespan. On the contrary, when one reached that level, the people they came into contact with were all fierce people. If they were slightly careless and offended someone, and they did not have any helpers behind them, it would be a calamity that could wipe out their entire race. It was already not easy for them to be able to enjoy a few hundred years of glory. Thus, there was no need to treat them differently.
But now, other than Wang Zhong, the Earth still had the Netherworld King from the underground world and the upstart of the Arena. In fact, other than these three people, the Earth still had the ability to instantly kill a Solid Core. This was completely different … Many civilizations now treated the Earth as a standard level-6 civilization. Regardless of whether it was their words, actions, or their attitude towards the Earth, they would be much more cautious. They would not easily offend a level-6 civilization that had standard strength. This was a principle that most people in the Star Alliance recognized.
Thus, to put it bluntly, the Earth's only enemy on the surface was the Blood Demon Race. Perhaps there was also the shadow of the Fire Demon Race behind them, but that was a matter for the Heavenly Shell Race.
Looking at the list in his hand, the embryonic form of a plan had already taken shape in Lao Wang's mind.
The Sea Emperor was right. One's success was built on the bones of thousands. If the Earth wanted to stand firm, they had to establish their might! Only by making everyone realize the might and strength of the Earth could they ensure that the neutral factions would not become the Earth's enemies.
The Blood Demon Race … Let's start with them!
… …
After returning to the Heavenly Gates, he went to the Internal Gates according to the instructions of the Heavenly Shell Superintendent. He thought that only the Heavenly Shell Superintendent would be waiting for him in the Superintendent's Hall, but he did not expect that there would be two unexpected visitors.
The Machinery Race, Chief Judge Lyon, and Arbitrator Wiggins.
"Wang Zhong, let me introduce you to them."
The Heavenly Shell Superintendent smiled and was about to introduce Wang Zhong to the two of them when she heard Arbitrator Wiggins say, "Superintendent, the two of us have met Wang Zhong before."
"Wang Zhong, we meet again." Although Chief Judge Lyon had the unchanging poker face of the Machinery Race, there was a hint of friendliness in his voice.
"Greetings, Superintendent, Chief Judge Lyon, and Arbitrator Wiggins." Wang Zhong smiled.
The last time he saw these two was when he went to the Machinery Palace to participate in their law enforcement game competition. However, they did not interact much.
The Heavenly Shell Superintendent did not seem surprised. Everyone in the Heavenly Gates knew about the relationship between Wang Zhong and the Machinery Race. Some said that Wang Zhong was lucky enough to form a relationship with the Machinery Race through a 'law enforcement game'. However, people like the Heavenly Shell Superintendent and some higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates knew that the Machinery Race had escorted Wang Zhong to the Heavenly Gates before the law enforcement game became popular.
"No need to be so polite." The three of them were relatively easy-going. Of course, this kind of 'easy-going' also depended on who they were.
However, just as she finished speaking, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded from outside the hall. "I heard that Wang Zhong from the Celestial Honors Class has returned to the Heavenly Gates and brought back first-hand information about the Netherworld King incident. According to the rules of the Celestial Honors Class, Wang Zhong should have immediately come to the Mission Department to report on his work and report back the information. However, the Superintendent summoned Wang Zhong to the conference hall immediately. Is there something that cannot be divulged and needs to be discussed in private? "
From the sound of this voice, it seemed to be Elder Miehill from the Fire Demon Race. Furthermore, there were many rustling sounds outside the door. It was obvious that there were more than one or two people here.
"That's right. The Netherworld King incident has not ended. Wang Zhong has just returned from the underground world and is involved in this matter. His identity is sensitive. I think that the Superintendent's actions are inappropriate." This was the voice of Elder Baifan from the Natural Race.
The relaxed atmosphere in the hall instantly disappeared, and it became slightly solemn. Wang Zhong had appeared in the Heavenly Treasures Street. If the Heavenly Shell Superintendent could obtain the news, the other races could as well. Furthermore, since they knew Wang Zhong's whereabouts, it was obvious that the various races in the Heavenly Gates could easily grasp when he used the transmission array to return to the Heavenly Gates, or even when he walked out of the transmission array and entered the Internal Gates. Thus, when they knew that he was in the Heavenly Shell Superintendent's conference hall, it was not strange for a large group of people to immediately rush over.
If it was only Elder Miehill who had come, perhaps Superintendent Erza would not have paid much attention to him. After all, the Fire Demon Race and the Fire Demon Race were on opposing sides. If he said a few sarcastic words, she would treat them as nothing more than a fart. However, Elder Baifan was different. He represented the Natural Race, one of the four major races in the Heavenly Gates.
The four major races in the Heavenly Gates were the Heavenly Shell Race, the Fire Demon Race, the Natural Race, and the Soul Race. As for the Machinery Race and the Insect Race, which were also level-8 civilizations, they were mainly responsible for the management of the Star Alliance and not the Heavenly Gates. Thus, when it came to making decisions in the Heavenly Gates, their authority was far less than the other four races.
Over the past few days, the debate regarding the Netherworld King, the Earth, and other matters had reached a white-hot stage in the Heavenly Gates. On one hand, the Celestial Honors Team would definitely be sent to kill the Netherworld King. However, the underground world had not confirmed the exact location of the Netherworld King, and the specific members of the Celestial Honors Team had not been confirmed either. Thus, they had not taken action until now. On the other hand, there were rumors that the Netherworld King was an Earthling. The Blood Demon Race insisted on convicting the Earth, while the Fire Demon Race supported them in secret and helped them obtain many votes from the neutral faction. Thus, they formed a complete opposition with the Heavenly Shell Race and the Machinery Race, who were trying to protect the Earth. Both sides had balanced power and each had their own opinions. They were both fighting for the support of the neutral and fair Soul Race and the Natural Race. Now, they had reached the critical moment of the dispute. It could be said that whoever could convince the Soul Race and the Natural Race would have the absolute right to speak on this matter.
Wang Zhong's' resurrection 'was obviously a turning point. His testimony would greatly affect the judgment of the Natural Race and the Soul Race on this matter. But now, the Heavenly Shell Superintendent had summoned Wang Zhong alone, as if she wanted to verify his' testimony 'first. It was as if she wanted to hide the truth from the masses. This obviously made the fair Natural Race and the Soul Race a little unhappy. Just now, Elder Baifan's tone had revealed his dissatisfaction with the Heavenly Shell Race.
"Elder Baifan, you're being too serious. It was my thoughtlessness. However, I am only concerned about the younger generation. When I learned that Wang Zhong had survived the calamity, I wanted to see him first. I have no other intentions. " Superintendent Erza waved her jade-like hand gently, and the door to the hall opened. "Since all the elders are here, it's just as well. There's no time like the present. Everyone, come and listen to Wang Zhong's explanation on this matter."
Wang Zhong turned his head and looked out of the hall. At that moment, there were 17 or 18 people standing outside the open door. Some of them recognized him, while others did not. There was Supervisor Tsargesimon from the Combat Cultivation Hall, Elder Yimo from the Pill Refinery Hall, and many others. There were also almighty Gold Cores from the Fire Demon Race, the Blood Demon Race, the Natural Race, the Soul Race, the Titan Race, and many others. They were all almighty Gold Core experts, elders, and managers from various races. They were also high-ranking officials and important ministers in the Heavenly Gates.
At that moment, the door to the hall opened, and a group of people filed in. They first greeted Superintendent Erza, Chief Judge Lyon, Arbitrator Wiggins, and the others. Elder Miehill smiled and looked at Wang Zhong. "Little friend Wang Zhong, you really have exceptional abilities. You were able to escape from the Netherworld River after being heavily injured. You are truly admirable."
Just as he finished speaking, someone beside him continued. "Ha ha. Elder Miehill might not know this, but the Earth civilization is indeed extraordinary. They definitely have a special relationship with the Netherworld River."
Wang Zhong looked at that person and saw that it was Elder Aikesi from the Blood Demon Race.
"Whether the Earth is related to the Netherworld King incident has not been completely confirmed. Elder Aikesi's words are too insinuating. Are you deliberately hinting at something?" Supervisor Tsargesimon was obviously on the side of the Heavenly Shell Race. Although the Titan Race was only a level-7 civilization, their strength was at the peak among the level-7 civilizations. In fact, many people placed them on the same level as a level-8 civilization. Thus, they obviously had a considerable say in the Heavenly Gates.
Elder Aikesi glanced at him. Although he did not reply, the disdain on his face had already been expressed in his words.
Wang Zhong closed his mouth and watched from the side. However, with just a few sentences, he could already see the extent to which the conflict between the factions in the Heavenly Gates had reached.
"Wang Zhong, before you went to carry out your mission, you should have looked up information about the previous Netherworld Kings. Furthermore, you have just returned from the underground world and should know the importance of this matter." Superintendent Erza interrupted everyone's low discussion and directly said to Wang Zhong, "There are also some senseless rumors that the Netherworld King is an Earthling. This time, the destruction of the Ninth Shade Faction was also because of you … Heh heh. However, rumors stop at the mouth of a wise man. Just now, I was discussing the Netherworld King incident with the chief judge and the arbitrator. Now, the elders of the various races are here, and everyone wants to hear your opinion. If these rumors are deliberately slandering the Earth and provoking the relationship between the Earth and the Star Alliance, we will definitely not let them off easily."
She was also afraid that Lao Wang would say something wrong. The hint in Superintendent Erza's words was a little too obvious.
The Heavenly Gates' attitude towards the previous Netherworld Kings was to seal and suppress them. Even the civilizations behind the physical bodies of the Netherworld Kings had all adopted high-pressure measures and directly exterminated them to prevent future troubles.
Lao Wang understood that Superintendent Erza wanted to give the Earth a chance and protect Wang Zhong and the Earth. As long as Wang Zhong denied the relationship between the Netherworld King and the Earth, the Earth could stay out of this matter. To be honest, if it was not for the fact that they had already contracted with the Netherworld King, this might really be the only way for the Earth to protect itself. After all, even the Heavenly Shell Race could not openly go against the traditions of the entire Star Alliance and disregard the safety and interests of many civilizations. If that happened, even the Heavenly Shell Race would only have a dead end.
But now …
"Superintendent, I've made you worry. The Netherworld King indeed controlled my good friend Mu Zi for a period of time and controlled his body to do some things. However, after our struggle, we found a way to punish the Netherworld King on Hell Island. Now, the Netherworld King has signed a slave contract with Mu Zi. In other words, he no longer poses any threat to the Star Alliance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall instantly fell silent.
Not only did Superintendent Erza not react, even Elder Aikesi from the Blood Demon Race, as well as everyone in the hall, whether they were opposing or neutral, did not react.
"Since I've said this, I will definitely get Mu Zi to prove it. Everyone here is an almighty senior, so there is no need to question such a small matter. As for the Ninth Shade Faction …" Wang Zhong's expression was solemn. "They violated the rules of the Star Alliance and allowed a Gold Core from their faction to attack a member of the Celestial Honors Class. Furthermore, they were bent on killing me. This is already a crime worthy of extermination. Someone from my race destroyed the entire Ninth Shade Faction because of this. They were merely upholding justice on behalf of the Star Alliance. I'm afraid that no one can blame the Earth for this. If you want to talk about guilt, I have another matter to report. The Ninth Shade Faction was bribed by the Blood Demon Race, which was why they sent a Gold Core to attack me. I personally witnessed and experienced this. Does Elder Aikesi from the Blood Demon Race plead guilty to assassinating a member of the Celestial Honors Class? "
Wang Zhong forcefully took the initiative. In this messy situation, he needed to set the pace and show the other party what he was made of.
"Little friend Wang Zhong." Elder Aikesi did not seem to mind at all and smiled. "The incident with the Ninth Shade Faction has long been settled. The Heavenly Gates is also hunting down the remaining members of their faction, including Elder Hades, who is rumored to have attacked you. As for whether this matter was instigated by the Blood Demon Race, we can naturally force them to confess when we catch them. Before that, don't mention it if you don't have any evidence. It is meaningless. Also, pay attention to your identity. The problem with the Netherworld King is very serious, and it cannot be resolved with just a few words from you. "
Control the Netherworld King? Make him submit? What kind of joke was this? The Netherworld King had always been a problem for them.
"A mere Solid Core doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He is simply spouting nonsense!"
"Heh heh, a mere Solid Core from a mere low-leveled civilization actually wants to control the Netherworld King. This is really ridiculous."
"Wang Zhong." Superintendent Erza interrupted everyone's mockery and looked at Wang Zhong with a complicated expression. "Evidence!"
"Superintendent, Mu Zi is still on standby and waiting for the Heavenly Gates to summon him, but the evidence has been prepared." Wang Zhong waved his left hand, and a simple projection device from the Machinery Race appeared in his hand. "Everyone, please take a look."
He turned on the switch of the projection, and with a sweep of light, a three-dimensional projection was projected into the hall.
Wang Zhong, Mu Zi, and Grai suddenly appeared in the projection.
Everyone in the underground world knew about Mu Zi and Grai's appearances. Many people who were present and paid attention to the Netherworld King incident naturally knew about them in detail and recognized them at a glance.
In the projection, Wang Zhong nodded at Mu Zi. Mu Zi grinned and activated his Netherworld aura. Immediately, a summoning runic array appeared on his chest.
Elder Aikesi from the Blood Demon Race, Elder Miehill from the Fire Demon Race, and the others furrowed their eyebrows. Black smoke stirred in the summoning array and turned into a mass of black fog that was completely condensed from Netherworld aura. It floated in the air and turned into a human figure.
"I, the Netherworld River Will, have acknowledged the Earthling, Mu Zi, as my master. I am willing to follow Master for my entire life and listen to all of Master's commands. I will never betray you!"
As he spoke, the Netherworld River in the background boiled, and monstrous waves rose. Then, like a human, it continuously nodded and kowtowed to the camera …
The projection only lasted for a short dozen seconds and did not say much, but the information it revealed was shocking.
Everyone present had good eyesight. With one look, they recognized that the soul that was condensed from Netherworld aura was undoubtedly the Netherworld King, who had caused many civilizations endless headaches! Only the legendary Netherworld King could control the Netherworld aura and the Netherworld River to such an extent. Furthermore, the summoning array on Mu Zi's body was very familiar. It was very similar to the soul contract array of the elemental spirit race. The details of the runes were so profound that even some almighty Gold Cores present could not understand them …
There was no possibility of this projection being fake. In the eyes of these people, they could distinguish the authenticity with one look. Furthermore, since the Netherworld King had already surrendered, the Heavenly Gates only needed to summon him here to completely verify the authenticity of the projection. There was no point in falsifying it.
It was actually true? The Netherworld King had surrendered to the Earthling, Mu Zi, and even acknowledged him as his master?
The hall was quiet, and everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. Even the Heavenly Shell Superintendent, who would not be alarmed even if the sky collapsed in front of her, was somewhat panic-stricken. She could not imagine this.
As an Earthling, he was born with the ability to fight for power. Wang Zhong's voice sounded in the quiet hall. "Now that the soul contract has been formed, as long as Mu Zi achieves his Gold Core and has eternal life, the Netherworld King will forever exist in this world as a servant. It will be controlled by its master and will never be able to cause trouble. Isn't this more permanent than the Heavenly Gates sealing and suppressing it time and time again? Superintendent and Elders, please investigate this! "
The temptation of this sentence was too great. The Netherworld King incident had always been a sore point in the Land. If it could be resolved once and for all, everyone would be happy to see it happen. Many Elders, who had been discussing whether to follow the rules, were shaken at this moment. However, they heard Elder Aikesi say, "What a joke! Even if what you said is true, how difficult is it to achieve a Gold Core? What if this Earthling cannot achieve a Gold Core? If he cannot prove his Dao eternally, he will eventually die. When he dies, the Netherworld King will regain its freedom, and we will have missed the opportunity to subdue it for nothing!
"Mu Zi and I were able to accumulate our Solid Cores in a short one or two years after entering the Land. Who dares to say that we do not have the possibility of achieving a Gold Core?"
"Empty words. How dare a level-4 civilization say that they can easily achieve a Gold Core? What abilities do you Earthlings have? What resources and natural endowments do you have to dare say such words? "
"Heh heh. Elder Aikesi does not need to worry about the natural endowments of Earthlings."
"You?!"
Wang Zhong laughed in disdain. In reality, one only needed to look at the expressions of the many Elders in the hall to know the attitude of the various races. Aikesi was just like a cornered beast fighting.
To put it bluntly, this video not only represented that they had helped the Star Alliance resolve a huge problem, but at the same time, the Netherworld King had announced that he would serve the Earth as his master. How powerful was the Netherworld King, who could control the Netherworld River? This was a massive deterrent of power.
If the Earth was isolated, it would be fine. However, the Machinery Race, the insect race, and the Heavenly Shell Race were behind him. In particular, the determination of the first two put an end to some people's thoughts.
"Alright." There was a slight smile on the Heavenly Shell Superintendent's face. The Netherworld King had actually become a servant of the Earthlings. This meant that the strength of the Earth had increased greatly. In just a short period of time, regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong or Mu Zi, who had subdued the Netherworld King, they would grow to a very terrifying level. They would definitely become the right-hand men of the Heavenly Shell Race. "Elder Miehill, Elder Baifan, Elder Yimo, what do the three of you think?"
"There is no good or evil power in this world. It just depends on what the person who controls the power does with it." Elder Baifan sighed and said, "Little friend Wang Zhong is right. It is better to let them go than to block them. I think that we can trust the Earthlings and the Netherworld King."
