"All of this is part of your plan?" Ye Tianze suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
He had always thought that he was in control of everything, but he suddenly realized that he was not in control at all. The one who truly controlled everything was Stardragon and the Martial Heavenly Palace.
He had forced himself into such a situation and allowed the Desolate Tribe to develop as they pleased. It was all for the sake of killing and bloodshed!
"You're right," Stardragon said.
"You don't really think that the so-called will of the Ancient Netherworld Tribe can corrupt my will, right?"
"Yes," Ye Tianze said. "Why do you want to do this?"
"Balance!"
Stardragon said. "This balance was not established by me. It was the result of a compromise!"
"The result of a compromise? What kind of compromise?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Many years ago, I did not win, but … we fought to a draw. However, they paid a huge price to trap me here. I have been trying to break free for so many years, but unfortunately, the balance between the major powers has prevented me from transcending this place," Stardragon said.
"However, they can forget about enslaving me."
"You want to enslave me?" Ye Tianze said coldly. "Dream on. I'd rather leave the Bedlam Lands and wander the myriad of worlds."
When Ye Tianze came to his senses, he suddenly felt like he was asking a tiger for its skin. If this continued, he and his Desolate Tribe would probably become puppets.
Even if he did not become a puppet, he might be able to raise an uncontrollable monster. At that time, everything he had would become Stardragon's wedding dress.
This was what he was truly afraid of.
Once things were out of his control, even he could not imagine what would happen in the future.
"It's not enslavement. As you said, we're just taking what we need," Stardragon said. "I urgently need your strength to break the balance!"
"Why me?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Every living thing in the myriad of worlds has a source. You're the only one without a source," Stardragon said. Stardragon said, "It's precisely because of this that they can't calculate and break the balance. Moreover, you need me, just like how I need you."
"I'll give you half the price of an ordinary Yore-Wilds Tribe in exchange for resources. The Yore-Wilds Tribe will grow far beyond any other Yore-Wilds Tribe. In less than a hundred years, they will surpass all other Yore-Wilds Tribe cultivators. Their expansion will surpass all other Yore-Wilds Tribe cultivators. Right now, they only have ten billion Yore-Wilds Tribe cultivators, but in ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, they will grow into a civilization with a population of a hundred billion.
Stardragon said, "Even if the Law of Primal Chaos exists, the fist is still the truth!"
Ye Tianze could not resist this temptation because this was what the Primordial Desolate Tribe urgently needed. They had to grow and have a foundation before they could establish themselves in the Primordial Desolate Realm.
"I won't reveal your identity as the Death Overlord!" Stardragon said, "In the future, and even for a longer period of time, I will need your help because I also need to grow, just like you need to grow. Do you know why your cultivation can't increase like it used to?"
"Why?" Ye Tianze asked.
"It's because of the level of resources. There are no more resources in the Land of Chaos that can meet the requirements of your body's cultivation!"
Stardragon said, "What you need is a cave abode with a hundred million Martial Merit Points for two hours. However, as your cultivation continues to increase, even a cave abode with a hundred million Martial Merit Points for two hours won't be enough for you. You're so powerful at the Dao Integration Realm, which means that you need higher-quality resources!"
"It can even be said that there's no place in the Infinite Realms that can provide you with resources." Stardragon said, "Because the Infinite Realms' level is too low, it can't compare to the All-Heavens. Unless you go to the All-Heavens, you can only rely on me!"
"Rely on you?" Ye Tianze asked curiously.
"As I grow, higher-quality resources will appear," Stardragon said. "The Yore-Wilds Tribe, you, and me all need to be bound together to break the shackles of fate!"
"What if I go to the All-Heavens now?" Ye Tianze asked.
"If you go to the All-Heavens now, you'll definitely die!" Stardragon said, "In the Infinite Realms, your talent can be considered a tyrant. However, once you go to the All-Heavens, your current strength is worthless. How long have those ancient civilizations been accumulating their strength? How long have you been accumulating your strength?"
Ye Tianze felt a chill in his heart. He naturally understood what Stardragon meant, but he wasn't willing to accept all this.
Any of the ancient civilizations in the All-Heavens was hundreds of thousands of years old, or even millions of years old. This was only the lowest level.
Furthermore, the ancient civilizations were divided into four levels in the Infinite Realms: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Overlord.
The All-Heavens was the same. The reason why the Mysterious Underworld Race, the Overlord, couldn't go to the All-Heavens was because the lowest level civilization could crush the Mysterious Underworld Race.
Such a huge gap couldn't be made up for with just talent. Even if one had talent, they would need a lot of resources to display it.
The so-called starting line did exist, but it wasn't in the same position. The starting line of a cultivator from an elementary civilization was at the origin. The starting line of a cultivator from an intermediate civilization was at the origin, while the starting line of a cultivator from an intermediate civilization was a few hundred feet or even a few thousand feet away.
The starting line of an Overlord civilization was a few thousand feet away. The reason why an Overlord civilization like the Mysterious Underworld Race couldn't break through this boundary was because they worked so hard.
This was because the starting line of the civilizations in the All-Heavens was in the All-Heavens, while the Mysterious Underworld Race was in the Infinite Realms.
The Mysterious Underworld Race in the All-Heavens had a natural disdain for them. What bullsh * t Overlord? They would only be qualified to play with them after they went to the All-Heavens.
The resources in the All-Heavens were naturally different. With different resources, the talents of the cultivators were naturally different. This was the true starting line.
The Martial Path Heavenly Hall tempted Ye Tianze because he could constantly grow and improve the starting line of the Desolate Race.
This way, the gap would become smaller and smaller. This was a temptation that Ye Tianze couldn't resist, unless he didn't want the Martial Path Heavenly Hall to grow.
His idea was to use the resources of the Martial Path Heavenly Hall to let the Desolate Race grow. However, he couldn't accept that he had stepped into the Star Dragon's trap.
"You will accept it!"
The Star Dragon said. "Even if you don't accept it now, you will accept it when that Confucian cultivator really descends. They have never been as weak as you think. It's just that … I am secretly helping you, so they are as weak as they look!"
"As a powerhouse, you should make decisions that are beneficial to yourself!"
After saying that, the Star Dragon suddenly disappeared, just as suddenly as he had appeared.
However, his words made Ye Tianze fall silent. However, the disappearance of the Star Dragon was like a bolt of lightning to the seven leaders, who had just regained some hope.
