Song Zhong was almost angered to death by Taibai Jinxing's words. Taibai Jinxing must have set his sights on his fleet, which was why they were forcing him to go.
Of course, Song Zhong knew that the Heavenly Court was taking advantage of this opportunity. If he had not acted rashly, they would have used soft words to beg him instead of directly threatening him. This left SongZhong with no room to reject.
Under such a situation where he was in the wrong, SongZhong was too embarrassed to reject him. However, he was not someone to be trifled with. Since he had to go, he would not let the Heavenly Court off so easily. At the very least, he had to ask for an exorbitant price.
Song Zhong immediately put on a bitter face and said, "Senior, it's not that I don't want to give you face. It's just that I don't have any money left. You know the situation here. There are a lot of things waiting to be done. The East Imperial World used to be a garbage dump. I've worked hard for so many years and it's only slightly improved. Now is the best time to build it up. Yet, you want me to serve under the North Star Emperor. Isn't this too unreasonable? "
"Cut the crap. Who asked you to cause trouble?" Taibai Jinxing did not care about Song Zhong's complaints and said, "No matter what, you have to go!"
"Alright, alright. Since you've asked, how can I not give you face?" Song Zhong said hurriedly.
"Hmph, don't drag me into this. This is the Jade Emperor's punishment for you. It has nothing to do with me!" Taibai Jinxing was very smart. He did not give Song Zhong any chance to climb up the ladder.
Song Zhong did not care about this. He said, "No matter what, I can go. However, the Heavenly Court has to give me some compensation. Emperors do not lack hungry soldiers, right?"
Taibai Jinxing did not know whether to laugh or cry at Song Zhong's words. He could not help but shake his head and laugh bitterly. "How can you be so thick-skinned, Song Zhong? How many times do you want me to tell you before you understand that you are not being deployed. You are being punished! Therefore, there is no compensation! All military expenses will be paid out of your own pocket! "
"Alright then!" Song Zhong immediately said shamelessly: "If that's the case, then I'll go alone. I won't bring a single soldier or any Divine Thunder Flying Vessel! Is this okay? "
When Taibai Jinxing heard that, he was instantly enraged. He could not help but scold, "Aren't you talking nonsense? What we value is your flying ship fleet. We are counting on them to resist the Demon Race's army when the time comes. Why are you going there alone? How many demonic beasts can you stop? "
"Hehe!" Song Zhong laughed sinisterly and said, "Senior's words are strange. It's true that I violated the heavenly rules, but it's enough for me to be punished alone. Why should my subordinates be punished as well? They did not violate the heavenly rules. Could it be that the heavenly court was implicated? If one person breaks the law, the whole family will be executed? "
"You ~" Taibai Jinxing was rendered speechless by SongZhong's words. After all, the heavenly court was built by a group of immortals. Their original intentions were good. They only hoped that there would be less disputes in the heavenly realm and were not willing to kill wantonly. Therefore, even though the heavenly rules were strict, there was no crime of implicating one's relatives, nor would one's entire family be executed. Therefore, Song Zhong's suggestion of not bringing his subordinates was definitely not too much.
However, Taibai Jinxing knew that the North Star Emperor valued Song Zhong's Divine Ship Fleet more than Song Zhong himself. This was because the power of this fleet was too strong. It was most suitable for killing a large number of enemy troops. The terrifying firepower formed by the huge cannons was truly a powerful killing weapon.
Moreover, the most shocking thing was their endurance. As long as there was enough divine thunder, the Dragon Pattern Cannons could almost continuously bombard and kill the enemy troops. Even a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal could not compare to this move.
Therefore, although this fleet might not be able to defeat a Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal, the threat they posed to a large number of enemy troops was more powerful than ten Primordial Chaos Golden Immortals.
The demon race had schemed for so many years and accumulated an uncountable number of terrifying weapons. Their refining skills might not be as good as the immortals', and they did not have powerful weapons in their hands, but they were good at forging weapons quickly.
Even if the immortals cultivated in the immortal world, it would take them more than a thousand years to become a tribulation expert. However, the demon race only needed one or two hundred years. Moreover, many races in the demon race had extremely abnormal fertility. They could give birth to tens of thousands of children in one birth. Therefore, if they developed, the population would increase extremely quickly.
In comparison, the immortals were slightly inferior. Therefore, they could only rely on defensive structures and the excellent equipment provided by Zhu Rongtian to fight against the demon race.
Therefore, in the past battles between humans and demons, the human race had always relied on equipment and defensive structures to fight against enemies dozens or even hundreds of times more than them.
In such a fierce battle, although the immortals were well-equipped and could inflict heavy damage to the enemy, they would inevitably suffer tragic sacrifices. After all, the enemy's numbers were too great.
Because of this, after Song Zhong's Divine Thunder Flying Ship fleet shone brilliantly in the battle for the connate supreme treasure, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl, it immediately attracted the attention of all the major forces. In particular, the flying ship's terrifying ability to inflict mass damage made the North Star Emperor, who had been fighting against the demon race all year round, extremely jealous.
In fact, when the news of that battle reached his ears, he immediately sent his subordinates to find the Jade Emperor and asked him to share the information about the Divine Thunder Flying Ship.
However, the Jade Emperor told him that it was Song Zhong's unique technology. Although the Jade Emperor coveted it, he did not dare to ask for it openly, because that would be equivalent to bullying. And the Chaos Giant Spirit Clan behind Song Zhong would not let him be bullied.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor could only suppress his greed and tried to buy the manufacturing method of the Divine Thunder Flying Ship from Song Zhong by bribing him.
However, it was a pity that when the Jade Emperor wanted to take action, Song Zhong went to the Blood Sea to save his wife. Later, he went to the Western World of Buddhism and did not give the Jade Emperor a chance.
When Song Zhong finally returned, the Jade Emperor coveted the connate sacred treasure, the Torch Dragon Lamp, and put this matter aside.
Finally, recently, the North Star Emperor sent a messenger again to ask Song Zhong to help him. At the same time, he promised that if he obtained the secret of the Divine Thunder Flying Ship, he would give it to the Jade Emperor for free.
Only then did the Jade Emperor remember this matter. Coincidentally, Song Zhong killed Perfected Lord Han Bing and caused quite a big trouble. Therefore, the Jade Emperor sent Taibai Jinxing to reprimand Song Zhong on the surface, but secretly wanted to drive him to work for the North Star Emperor.
Taibai Jinxing understood the Jade Emperor's plan. Naturally, he couldn't let Song Zhong go empty-handed. Therefore, he could only helplessly smile bitterly and say, "Alright, alright. I can give you some preferential treatment if it's within my ability. However, you can't go overboard."
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not that kind of thick-skinned person!" Song Zhong said with a smile.
Taibai Jinxing scolded in his heart, If you weren't thick-skinned, you wouldn't have shamelessly asked for benefits from me!
Of course, Taibai Jinxing couldn't say this out loud. His face twitched a few times before he quickly changed the topic. "Alright, let's cut the crap. What do you want?"
"Hehe, actually, it's not a big deal!" Song Zhong said with a smile, "The Divine Thunder Flying Ship needs two things. One is the core, and the other is the Divine Thunder. This time, when I go to work for the North Star Emperor, I might have to fight against the Monster Race. With the strength of the Monster Race, once the battle starts, I will definitely suffer heavy losses. Therefore, I want to replenish the core and the Divine Thunder in large quantities! "
"I see …" Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard, then said tentatively, "How about this, you tell me how to make the Divine Thunder Flying Ship. I'll ask Zhu Rongtian to make it for you. That will save you a lot of effort. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Song Zhong immediately scolded in his heart, "You shameless thing. Do you really think I'm a fool? How can I casually tell you such a secret? "
Of course, although Song Zhong was scolding Taibai Jinxing in his heart, he didn't dare to be presumptuous on the surface. He only smiled apologetically and said, "No, no, I won't trouble you!"
"Eh, no trouble, no trouble at all. After all, you're also working for the Heaven!" Taibai Jinxing said pretentiously.
Song Zhong was completely defeated by Taibai Jinxing's shamelessness. He didn't say anything more and just smiled without saying anything.
Seeing Song Zhong's annoying look, Taibai Jinxing immediately knew that this guy had seen through his thoughts. He couldn't help but blush, then stopped probing.
"Cough, cough!" Taibai Jinxing coughed twice. After dispelling the awkward atmosphere, he recovered his serious expression and said in a businesslike manner, "Hmm, since you've decided to lead the army to the front line, the Heaven will naturally not be stingy with your rewards. How about this, I can ask Zhu Rongtian to speed up the core you want. What's the current speed? "
Taibai Jinxing raised his head and asked Song Zhong.
"Only one core per year, how can that be enough?" Song Zhong said pretentiously.
"Alright, alright, one core is too little, then three!" Taibai Jinxing said.
"Three is still too little?" Song Zhong hurriedly said, "Ten, ten per year, I'm willing to provide the materials myself!"
One had to know that the cores Song Zhong wanted were all made by powerful immortals above the Golden Immortal level, after several years of refining. These immortals were all proficient in refining tools, and there weren't many of them in Zhu Rongtian.
Moreover, the items they refined were all of high quality, and were closely watched by the five Celestial Emperors. Giving Song Zhong a core was equivalent to giving less to the other Celestial Emperors.
Normally, one core per year was already difficult enough for the Fire Lord, because he had to reduce the quality of the other Celestial Emperors' equipment in order to make room for Song Zhong. But now, SongZhong wanted ten of them. That was like a lion opening its mouth wide and demanding an exorbitant price! How could it be easy to snatch ten pieces of meat from the Celestial Emperors' mouths every year?
