"Monkey!"
Yang Jian roared anxiously. He never would've guessed the Great Sage would use such a method to exchange for Ye Zichen's safety.
When he saw Ye Zichen's mind being controlled, Yang Jian was extremely anxious.
However, he absolutely didn't want to see the Great Sage trade with him. Ye Zichen and the monkey were both Yang Jian's brothers. They were both flesh and blood. He didn't want to see either of them in danger.
"Hurry up and come back. We can slowly think of a way to deal with Ye-zi."
Yang Jian kept sending messages to the Great Sage through his divine sense, but the Great Sage had completely cut off their connection. His golden eyes were filled with an oppressive aura as he stared into the eyes of the Green Rain clansman.
"What do you think? Are you going to trade or not?"
The Great Sage muttered. The Green Rain clansman knit his brows, unable to respond.
What a joke!
Whether it was in terms of cultivation or status, Ye Zichen and Qingli were both much higher than the Green Rain clansman. No matter how he looked at it, the Green Rain clansman was at a disadvantage.
But judging from the current situation, if he didn't make the trade, things wouldn't end well.
How did things turn out like this?
The Green Rain clansman didn't understand!
He clearly had the absolute advantage. When the secret realm appeared in the Milky Way, he'd been wandering the Milky Way's primal chaos in search of a breakthrough when he discovered it.
That wasn't all; he'd personally witnessed the heavily injured God Emperor.
Filled with suspicion, he'd entered the depths of the secret realm and coincidentally discovered the soul gems.
After fusing with the soul gems, he'd deeply understood their strength and guessed the meaning of the secret realm's existence.
This was a secret realm where secret treasures were unearthed! As he considered this, he continued to wander around the entrance of the secret realm in hopes of obtaining more treasures. He didn't dare venture deeper because he was worried there were dangers he couldn't handle. He knew his cultivation wasn't high, and he could only rely on soul gems.
Only by relying on soul gems could he explore the borders of the secret realm in peace.
At the same time, he waited for the Gods of the Outer Realm to arrive.
He imagined that once the Gods of the Outer Realm arrived, they'd be able to control a few overgod experts so that he could rely on them to explore deeper. At the same time, he could avenge the deaths of the Green Rain clansmen who'd plundered their resources.
Half a month …
He wandered around here for a full half a month's time. The Outerealm Divine Race finally arrived.
Nothing unexpected happened. He just released a bit of the light from the soul gem, and it attracted the attention of several Main Gods.
He couldn't sense any goodwill from them. They were just out to steal the treasures.
It was just like how they had plundered the resources of the Green Rain Race in the past. There wasn't the slightest bit of humanity to speak of.
With the power of the soul gem, the people of the Green Rain Race were able to control those Core Gods without feeling threatened at all, turning them into their slave puppets.
Even if the Milky Way Galaxy's exploration army attacked, they would still have the absolute advantage in numbers.
The members of the Green Rain Clan didn't reveal any cowardice!
What was there to be afraid of? No matter how many people came, it would only increase the number of his slave puppets.
Why did he feel like he was at a disadvantage now?
With the soul gem, no one could break free from the soul gem's control. He was very confident, but he just had to run into the Great Sage and Yang Jian.
When the Great Sage had looked at the soul gem greedily, he had thought of turning him into a puppet.
He had failed! Even after activating the power of the soul gem, the Great Sage still maintained his consciousness. It wasn't just him. The three-eyed fellow beside him was the same. One reason was that he couldn't sense the existence of his soul. The other was that his soul was protected.
There was no flaw whatsoever.
It was precisely because of this that the Green Rain Clan felt apprehensive.
If he answered the Great Sage's question …
Was he afraid of being exterminated?
Of course he was!
Of course he was afraid!
It was this sort of fear that prevented him from acting as unbridled as before. He was worried that Yang Jian and the Great Sage would return to the Ancient Era and contact the God Race to deal a fatal blow to the Green Rain Clan.
He'd wandered the primordial chaos for the sake of breaking through and making the Green Rain Clan stronger and safer.
If the existence of the soul gem or Ye Zichen and Qingli led to the destruction of the Green Rain Clan, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses. That wasn't his original intention.
"Have you thought it through? Do you want to be exterminated, or do you want to trade?"
The Great Sage narrowed his eyes and continued to exert pressure on the Green Rain Clan. In truth, he was gambling!
What kind of soul-protecting divine artifact could resist the soul gem's control?
He was just making things up!
The ancients were so wealthy. How could Qingli not have a soul-protecting divine artifact?
At their level, they feared soul attacks the most. How could the God Race's Overgods not get themselves a set of soul-protecting divine artifacts?
In the end, they'd still been controlled! Soul gems could obviously penetrate the soul's protection and take control of the soul. Either that, or the artifact they wore wasn't strong enough. However, they were already peak existences of the Ancient Era and the God Race.
Naturally, a soul-protecting divine artifact they could wear was the best.
If even this sort of artifact wasn't strong enough, then even if Yang Jian and the Great Sage returned to the Ancient Era, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
The Great Sage couldn't be controlled because he was a stone monkey raised by the heavens. There was no such thing as a soul. As for Yang Jian, his third eye was a gift from the heavens. Its existence could protect his Divine Sea.
It could be said that the two of them were special!
The Great Sage continued to pressure the Green Rain Clansmen in order to instill fear in their hearts and release Ye Zichen and Qingli.
He believed that if Ye Zichen recovered his senses, he'd definitely have a way to save him.
"Have you thought it through or not?"
"No matter how I look at it, using you in exchange for the two of them is a loss. I want the two of you in exchange for the two of them!" The Green Rain Clansman suddenly pointed at Yang Jian. "Two for two? What do you think? It's very fair!"
Suddenly, the Great Sage's gaze darkened.
Fair? The Great Sage could tell at a glance what the Green Rain Clansmen were thinking. Only he and Yang Jian couldn't control the Green Rain Clansmen's soul gems. If the two of them voluntarily became their slaves, then he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
He wouldn't have to.
Whether or not he kept his promise was naturally up to him.
He could release Ye Zichen and the others, then use the soul gems to control the others again. Perhaps Yang Jian had considered this possibility as well, so he didn't immediately agree to the Green Rain Clansmen's demands. Although he didn't know what the monkey was thinking, he was keenly aware that he had an important position in this negotiation.
An extremely important position.
"It seems there's no room for negotiation?" The Great Sage narrowed his eyes. "Hah, you're the one who didn't want to negotiate properly from the start, aren't you? If we use you in exchange for the two of them and let them go, won't our Green Rain Clan suffer a fatal blow all the same? "sneered the Green Rain Clansman." Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.
Not everyone is an idiot! "
With that, the soul gems in the Green Rain Clansmen's hands suddenly flared with light.
"So what if I can't control the two of you? As long as I control the others and kill you, won't it all be over?"
The gazes of the God Race experts and the experts of the First Era trembled. They did everything they could to protect their minds. In practically an instant, the Great Sage raised his staff and swung it viciously at the soul gems in an attempt to shatter them. However, at that moment, the blinding light suddenly vanished. The Great Sage, who'd raised his staff into the air, froze, then chuckled.
