Planet Saka. The familiar scenery of distorted dimensions, the familiar arena, and the familiar fanatical atmosphere that permeated above the arena.
The preparation time for the championship battle was not over yet, but that did not stop Gao Tianzun from organizing a few warm-up matches to have some fun. With the support of his generous net worth, even if it was just a warm-up match, the champion's reward was extremely amazing, attracting many wandering interstellar mercenaries to participate.
However, since it was just a warm-up match, there was no hope for a true gladiator master to appear. It was more of a continuation of Planet Saka's tradition. In fact, to the people who lived here, it was simply uncomfortable if they did not watch a few exciting gladiator matches in a month … bloody and cruel gladiator matches had become a tradition here, a part of their lives.
Of course, that had little to do with Saber. He was only here to get his spoils of war.
After working hard to defeat Babatos in the gambling world and enjoying the experience of Genesis, Saber was mentally exhausted. He urgently needed rest, and before he rested, if he could get a satisfactory reward, the risk this time would be worth it.
"The bet that Babatos and I put in before was one percent of the ownership of the real world. Later on, it was raised to three percent. This time, there will be at least twenty Dark Multiverses drawn into our Neutral Faction! This is a real victory! "
Gao Tianzun raised his glass and clinked glasses with Saeper and Tanya in his spacious guest room, celebrating his victory with the best wine from the universe. He had an exaggerated smile on his face as he took a sip of his wine and said loudly, "Let's go!"
"Although I know that Babatos would definitely throw those barren and terrible universes to us like trash, it's fine. The Neutral Faction is weak in the first place, and no matter how barren it is, it's still twenty universes … enough for our little group's strength to rise to the next level!"
"Neutral Faction?"
Saber leaned lazily on the comfortable sofa, swirling the red wine in his hand as he asked curiously, "It sounds like there are many factions within you big shots?"
"Mortals always say that where there are people, there will be conflict. That's not wrong."
The slightly tipsy Collector sat beside Saber and threw a delicious berry into his mouth. Because of this great victory, the two brothers saw Saber as a member of their faction, so they could reveal some secrets to him.
"You should know from Phoenix that when the New Era was first born, the secondary managers of the Multiverse formed the Elders of the Universe. We were one of them. At that time, the number of Multiverses that far exceeded the number now were all discovered, rescued, accommodated, and maintained by us. That was the development period of the Multiverse. The Elders had different styles of doing things, but in essence, everyone got along with each other."
"Until the end of the development period!"
Gao Tianzun finished the wine in his hand in one gulp, slowly poured himself a glass, and then continued, "When an organization's strength reaches its peak, what follows is a rapid decline … This was something that even the Elders of the Universe could not change. The first sign was that the Life Court had scattered many strange objects that could affect the Multiverse to every corner of the Multiverse for no reason …"
"No one knew why they did that … It caused a lot of trouble at that time, and some of them even continue to this day, such as …"
Gao Tianzun glanced at Saber. "Such as the Infinity Stone in your hand. You should know that in the beginning, the Infinity Stone was a whole! It was the Life Court that ruled that in this era, the Infinity Stone could not be reunited, which led to it being managed separately. "
"From this incident, the Elders realized that no matter how hard we tried to manage the Multiverse, we were still puppets of a higher power. This made many people disheartened, and the first division began at that time …"
The Collector's mood was a little gloomy. He said in a low voice, "Those who could enter the Elders of the Universe in the early era were all geniuses from various universes. The Life Court's actions were like a stick to our heads, letting us know that we were far from being the masters of the universe … This was just the beginning, and many things happened later. In short, the Elders of the Universe, which originally spanned the entire Multiverse, was soon completely shattered."
"We were the last batch to leave. Those who left first formed various groups due to various thoughts. There were also some like us … Erm, salted fish, yes … Salted fish elders like us who lost all our dreams. In order to avoid being involved in the dangerous things that our former friends did, we formed a neutral faction. We didn't do anything, we didn't care about anything …"
This statement made Saber frown. He put the wine glass in his hand on the table and looked at the Collector and Gao Tianzun.
"The 'dangerous' things that the Multiverse can do … If I'm not wrong, in the end, the Life Court intervened, right?"
"Not intervened …"
Gao Tianzun turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window. He closed his eyes and said softly, "It was a massacre …"
"At the behest of the Life Court, the Five Gods of the Universe joined forces for the first time in history to hunt down the Elders of the Universe who had reached into the forbidden area. Tens of thousands of worlds were destroyed because of this. After it was over, there were only 199999 Multiverses left in the Life Court's database. That was the darkest day of the universe … After the storm, the Elders of the Universe who still existed were as silent as cicadas in winter. It was only then that we knew …
"The Life Court allowed us to exist, but it did not allow us to interfere in anything that would cause chaos in the rules of the Multiverse. We could only be managers, not punishers, and certainly not masters. If we tried to interfere with the progress of the Multiverse, the harsh judgment of the Life Court would fall on us."
The Collector heaved a long sigh.
"You only need to know, Saber, that to you, progress does not mean freedom. There is no true freedom in this world."
"Alright, it's pointless to talk about this."
Gao Tianzun clapped his hands, a smile appearing on his face again. He spread his hands, and a mountain of treasures appeared in front of Saber. He said cheerfully, "I've said it before, that you're qualified to be a part of this.
"As I've said before, you have the right to be on the gambling table, and you've even placed a stake for yourself. These are what you deserve: rare treasures from various worlds across the Multiverse. Ordinary beings from a single universe would never have such things, just as some Multiverse bigwigs with terrible financial situations would not be richer than you. Now, I'm honored to announce that you've become a real fat sheep … be careful when you travel in the future … the Multiverse never lacks ruthless fellows!"
Seiber looked at the pile of treasures in front of him. Every single one of them was glowing with a special light. When these lights intertwined together, it gave off the feeling of a real "jewel aura".
A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he raised his hand and pushed the pile of treasures back to Gao Tianzun across the air. He looked up at him and said in a low voice.
"That's not what I want!"
"Oh?"
Gao Tianzun snorted. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. His gaze seemed to penetrate Seiber's soul as he asked softly, "What do you think?
"Then tell me, what do you want?"
"That universe! The 200000 Multiverse, the universe that I created with my own hands … I want it! "
Saber leaned back on the sofa with a relaxed expression, his hands spread on both sides of the sofa. He snorted.
"Don't tell me that thing isn't in your hands now! Someone told me that it was also counted as a wager, which means that you now have jurisdiction over it. "
"What a strange idea!"
Gao Tianzun was a little hesitant, while the collector turned to Saber.
"In the Multiverse, there is no precedent of a single universe managing another universe. Taking a step back, even if we give it to you, you wouldn't be able to protect it — any Multiverse bigshot who's so poor that they've gone mad could easily snatch it from your hands …"
"You should know that in this era, most universes are personally managed by the Life Court, and so is your universe. Therefore, every free universe is precious to us. No matter how barren it is, it is still precious. A special, new, free universe is more precious than any treasure to some people who pursue power!"
"You don't have to worry about that."
Saber flexed his fingers. "Treasures can be collected slowly, but the opportunity to gain jurisdiction over a universe comes once in a blue moon. I won't miss this chance!"
The last sentence was very tough, representing Saber's unchangeable will. Gao Tianzun and the collector looked at each other, and finally, Gao Tianzun spoke.
"Are you sure you want this? Let me be frank: this universe has just been born. If you want it to provide you with resources, you'll have to wait a long time. I can't even be sure if you'll live until then. Moreover, if it's taken from you … as the manager of the universe, you'll probably face a direct trial from the Life Court … Trust me, that's a horror you don't want to experience. "
"I've made up my mind. I want it!"
Saber closed his eyes, his tone firm. A moment later, a plain-looking brass key with a round hole was thrown to Saber. The latter caught it, and a special feeling came from the key. If he wanted to, he could easily enter that universe in the next moment.
"I've just logged into the Life Database and changed the manager of universe 200000 to you."
Gao Tianzun didn't look disappointed. After all, it was only a beginner universe and wasn't anything precious. He crossed his arms and said to Saber, "You're now famous in the Multiverse.
"You are now a famous figure in the multiverse. Anyone who has the authority to enter the living database would know that a mere single universe has obtained the authority to manage a multiverse … hehe."
A gloating smile appeared on the faces of the two brothers at the same time.
"I'm sure you're going to have a hard time in the coming days …"
Seiber shrugged and picked up the wine glass in front of him again. He snorted and said, "You're the one who took pleasure in my misfortune.
"So, I'll have to trouble my poor cousin again … But I'm sure she'll be curious about a new multiverse."
"Wait! When did you have a cousin? "
Gao Tianzun asked in surprise. "What's her name?"
"Angel Phoenix Hawk!"
Saber finished the wine in his glass in one gulp. He stood up and stretched his shoulders. "If I'm not wrong, she should be on her gourmet tour on Earth. I'm sure my dear cousin would be willing to help her poor cousin … After all, we're family."
"Phoenix … So that's how it is."
Gao Tianzun snorted sarcastically. "No wonder you're so confident. You really have a golden thigh to rely on."
"Also, there's something I'd like to ask the two of you for help with!"
Saber said humbly to Gao Tianzun and the collector. "I want to resurrect someone very important to me, but it's a little troublesome, so I'd like to ask the two of you for some specific details."
"Hmph, I've already paid you. Your appetite is getting bigger and bigger!"
The collector snorted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Fair trade, remember? Don't think I'll let you go just because you're on our side. Friendship is friendship, business is business … Rules are rules! "
Ding ding ding!
Saber threw three pieces of bright and transparent silver metal on the table. "The rare tenth metal. Is it enough to pay the bill?"
"Yo! Look at these cute little things … "
Gao Tianzun took the metal in his hand and looked at it. He glanced at Saber.
"How much have you been hiding?"
Seiber shrugged. "It's not much, but it's not little either …"
"Take it all out. It'll only be a disaster in your hands! It's a treasure that can be used to create and repair the universe. It'll definitely fetch a good price in the multiverse's black market! "
The collector stroked his chin and looked at Saber. "I'll exchange a third of the money for what you need and send it directly to your Utopia. Now, tell me, what problem have you encountered?"
