Facing the First-Level Deity, how could one not submit?
Even the Great Merchant God King felt like kneeling and calling him "father."
As long as Wei Chen agreed to let the Great Merchant God King call him "father," he would eagerly comply, doing so with utmost warmth and sweetness!
When it came to matters of life and wealth, what was there to be embarrassed about? Besides, how could one have any face in front of a deity? Furthermore, no one from the Ancient World was watching, so there was no shame involved...
The Great Merchant God King's attitude towards Wei Chen was filled with utmost respect.
Wei Chen calmly looked at the Great Merchant God King, his heart filled with countless emotions.
Less than twenty years ago, he had encountered the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler at Soul Beast Mountain. At that time, he learned from the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler that a Great Being from the Ancient World would come to the Demon Realm to seize the Refining Demon Pot. If he did not intervene, it would lead to a frenzy of Soul Beasts pouring into the Black Magic Clan's territory, causing devastation and even angering that Great Being from the Ancient World, potentially destroying the entire Demon Realm.
In just under twenty years, the Great Being from the Ancient World indeed appeared, but their power made Wei Chen want to laugh.
What kind of threat could they pose? The Great Merchant God King was considered a top-tier powerhouse in the Ancient World, but how could he compete against a deity?
Moreover, Wei Chen finally understood that even if the Great Being from the Ancient World exerted all their strength, they could not destroy the Demon Realm. The Great Merchant God King did not possess that level of power, nor did other Divine Kings or top-tier experts. The Soul Beast Mountain Ruler had threatened Wei Chen to pass on his Mental Strength in order to preserve the legacy of Soul Beast Mountain; otherwise, he would not have resorted to such measures.
If it weren't for that situation, risking his life to inherit the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler's Mental Strength might not have been something Wei Chen would willingly do.
At the very least, he had struggled with it for a long time before finally agreeing due to the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler's relentless persuasion and the looming threat over the Demon Realm.
Although he had been deceived, Wei Chen held deep respect for the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler. That elder had dedicated his life to protecting Soul Beast Mountain; wasn't that worthy of respect?
That elder had given all his Mental Strength to Wei Chen; wasn't that deserving of respect? Wei Chen's Ascension to Godhood was greatly aided by that vast Mental Strength. Without such powerful Mental Strength, how could he have dared venture into the Endless Sea?
And without going to the Endless Sea, how could he have met Senior Sea God and obtained the Heart of the God, thus ascending to Godhood?
One clasp followed another; missing even a single one would be unacceptable.
Wei Chen lifted his head and looked on, silently saying, "Soul Beast Mountain Ruler, do you see this? The worries you had have been resolved. The Great Merchant God King from the Ancient World has come crawling like a dog, wagging his tail in desperation. Your spirit can finally rest, right?"
At that moment, Wei Chen seemed to see an aged face appear in the void—the face of the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler.
The old face wore a relieved smile, one that radiated joy.
Seeing that smiling face, a warm feeling surged within Wei Chen's heart.
"Senior, rest assured. Soul Beast Mountain will continue to exist, and the Soul Beasts will endure. With the Great Merchant God King now a prisoner, no one can destroy Soul Beast Mountain."
Wei Chen came back to his senses and turned to look at the Great Merchant God King.
The Great Merchant God King was trapped by the Demon Lotus Emperor's spatial confinement and could not break free. Overwhelmed by Wei Chen's identity, he had already given up resisting.
Now, he sought only a glimmer of hope for survival.
No matter what price he had to pay, he would surely agree.
Wei Chen waved his hand, unleashing a surge of Divine Power that enveloped the Great Merchant God King and instantly transported him into his Azure Sky Statue.
Upon seeing the statue and feeling the surging Divine Power within it, the Great Merchant God King immediately prostrated himself on the ground and bowed to Wei Chen, saying, "I greet you, great deity. I am blind and have offended your Ancestral Realm. Please forgive me for my mortal sins."
"Get up. I don't want to kill you; I just want to know some things," Wei Chen replied calmly.
The Great Merchant God King did not dare to rise and remained prostrated on the ground, respectfully saying, "Please ask, my lord. I will speak without reservation."
"Enough with the nonsense; I told you to get up," Wei Chen's voice carried a strong sense of intimidation. The Great Merchant God King scrambled to his feet but kept his head lowered, not daring to meet Wei Chen's gaze.
"Did you come to the Demon Realm a hundred thousand years ago?" Wei Chen asked calmly.
The Great Merchant God King replied honestly, "In response to your question, I did indeed come here."
"What did you come to the Demon Realm for?" Wei Chen inquired.
"I passed through by chance; there was no special reason," the Great Merchant God King said.
Wei Chen let out a cold smile. He lightly extended a finger and flicked out a ball of Divine Power, striking it into the Great Merchant God King's abdomen.
That ball of Divine Power shattered the Great Merchant God King's protective defenses like a brittle twig, piercing through his abdomen.
How could the Great Merchant God King withstand such an aggressive attack from Divine Power? A bloody hole appeared in his abdomen, gushing forth blood as if it were free. The Great Merchant God King secretly gathered energy to heal the wound, but it was futile; how could low-level energy repair the damage caused by Divine Power?
With a muffled groan, the Great Merchant God King fell to his knees.
Wei Chen said calmly, "For every lie you tell, another hole will appear in your belly. Feel free to try; I’m quite curious about how much blood you can afford to lose."
"Spare me, my lord! I won't dare again! Please have mercy!"
The Great Merchant God King hurriedly bowed his head, tears streaming down his face.
He had witnessed Wei Chen's ruthlessness; lying to a First-Level Deity indeed came with the risk of bleeding and sacrifice!
"I'll ask you one more time: what did you come to the Demon Realm for?" Wei Chen asked with a cold smile as he looked at the Great Merchant God King.
The Great Merchant God King quickly responded, "I came to find the Refining Demon Pot. The Refining Demon Pot is located beneath that mountain range. The last time I came, I was stopped by someone with very strong Mental Strength. This time, I thought he was dead and that I would be able to succeed..."
The rest of his words should have been, but unexpectedly, I encountered you, this great disaster!
"The Refining Demon Pot has already been claimed by my people with blood. Don't even think about it. If you have the ability, feel free to raid the other Divine King's artifacts in the Ancient World."
"My lord, there are only four artifacts left in the Ancient World now, and each one is guarded by a deity. Even if someone wanted to commit suicide, they wouldn't dare to target those artifacts! The Refining Demon Pot was once a human artifact long ago, but humans lacked the ability to claim it with blood, so it was carefully stored away. Unexpectedly, the Refining Demon Pot disappeared for millions of years until I caught a whiff of its aura again and came to the Demon Realm, only to be repelled by that Mental Power Expert."
The Great Merchant God King was quite frank; he did not hide his defeat and openly stated that he was beaten by the Mental Power Expert. In reality, whether it could truly be considered a defeat was still up for debate.
According to the Soul Beast Mountain Ruler, it was his own words that scared off the Great Merchant God King, rather than defeating him.
Wei Chen was only concerned about the artifacts.
He caught the implication in the Great Merchant God King's words and pressed further, "There are only four artifacts in the Ancient World? Aside from the Refining Demon Pot in the Demon Realm, there should be nine artifacts in total within the Ancient World, right?"
Wei Chen himself possessed two artifacts, and with possibly two more in the Nine Immortal Realm, there should be at least six artifacts in total within the Ancient World. Why did the Great Merchant God King say there were only four?
The Great Merchant God King explained, "My lord, you may not know this, but the Refining Demon Pot along with Reprint and Nuwa Stone disappeared long ago. Later on, Xuanyuan Sword also vanished, leaving only six artifacts remaining in the Ancient World."
"But even those six artifacts haven't all been preserved. As far as I know, two have already been taken by Fifth-Level Deities from the Endless Divine Realm. We are left with only four now; there may even be more that have disappeared or been stolen. It's likely that we have even fewer than four." The Great Merchant God King sighed deeply at this point. So many artifacts had been lost; as one of the strongest in the Ancient World, he felt terrible about it. After all, those were items of the Ancient World—why should they be taken by the Endless Divine Realm?
The Ancient World had never produced a Boundary God nor condensed a Heart of the World into a False World God. Therefore, people from the Ancient World held no respect or interest in deities. To them, deities were merely stronger versions of humans. Thus, when two artifacts were taken by the Endless Divine Realm, it felt like a deep cut to those in power within the Ancient World.
It was a blatant humiliation!
Hearing what the Great Merchant God King said, Wei Chen frowned and asked, "Aren't deities from the Endless Divine Realm unable to touch artifacts? Wouldn't they suffer attacks from them?"
"That's true; therefore, taking our artifacts comes at a great cost. The two well-known instances involved Fifth-Level Deities leading teams to directly ensnare the artifacts with formations and carve out Spatial Tunnels to move both the formations and artifacts away." The Great Merchant God King's tone grew slightly angry; he dared not express his full fury in front of Wei Chen. Deep down, every time he thought about those two humiliating events, he would seethe with rage. Every top-tier expert in the Ancient World harbored deep hatred for those so-called deities.
But Wei Chen was different.
The Great Merchant God King understood that no Boundary Gods could arise within Spatial Planes like the Ancient World or Demon Realm or Nine Immortal Realm. Those deities had long occupied their positions within the Ancient World; there was no doubt about it. The reason was due to Cosmic Center's difficulty in producing gods—once a god appeared, they would be immensely powerful.
When the Great Merchant God King learned that Wei Chen was a First-Level Deity, he was utterly shocked. The emergence of a Boundary God in the Demon Realm was more astonishing than encountering a Fifth-Level Deity in the Ancient World.
The Great Merchant God King could not comprehend it. So many Deities existed within the Spatial Dimension System of the Ancient World, yet no Spatial Plane had ever produced a god...
The reality was that he had exerted tremendous effort to come to the Demon Realm to reclaim the Refining Demon Pot, only to encounter a god—a First-Level Deity whose ancestral realm was the Demon Realm.
The shock struck him deeply, overturning his understanding of gods.
At the same time, he pondered what it meant for a god to appear in the Demon Realm for the entire Ancient World Spatial Dimension System. Gods were meant to conquer, expand their territories, and condense the Heart of the World, acting as False World Gods for more Spatial Planes. The Great Merchant God King, who had survived countless ages in the Ancient World, understood this all too well.
Could this First-Level Deity, Wei Chen, create his own power within the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System?
The Great Merchant God King knew deeply that the Ancient World desperately needed gods for its Cosmic Central Space Coordinate System.
Without gods, they would suffer oppression from the Endless Divine Realm and become sacrifices. Once there were gods and a way to summon more of them, leveraging the uniqueness of these Spatial Planes could forge a formidable power capable of establishing a foothold against the Endless Divine Realm. Their resources would no longer be at risk of being seized by others.
Especially those divine artifacts.
In the eyes of the Great Merchant God King, divine artifacts were more important than life itself!
Without faith in gods, those artifacts born at the dawn of creation were indeed the true faith of the Ancient World!
