Within the Southern Ming Divine Domain, at the Temple of Martial Arts, the Old Master had lived for an unknown number of years. In the Endless Divine Realm, anyone who was not forcefully killed could achieve immortality; only they would know the hidden truths.
The Old Master sighed lightly and said, "Back in the day, when the Ancient World was flourishing, it had little to do with the Endless Divine Realm. The Endless Divine Realm did not pay much attention to the developments in the Ancient World."
"However, there was one incident. A Spatial Tunnel inexplicably appeared between the Ancient World and the Endless Divine Realm, allowing several powerful beings from the Ancient World to enter the Endless Divine Realm. Initially, they behaved themselves since their strength was limited; in the Ancient World, they were not considered top-tier, just average. Yet after mingling in the Endless Divine Realm for millions of years, they adapted remarkably well to the Void Pressure, and their Stellar Techniques unleashed devastating power, causing great calamity for the Endless Divine Realm."
"There were four practitioners of Stellar Techniques from the Ancient World who wreaked havoc in the Endless Divine Realm. Many Supreme Gods fell before they were finally subdued. Afterward, the Endless Divine Realm took a long time to recuperate, reorganizing its army to break through the Spatial Tunnel and invade the Ancient World."
"The battle began like this. The powerful beings from the Endless Divine Realm arrived in the Ancient World, expecting a one-sided massacre. However, they faced fierce resistance that resulted in heavy losses for them. Eventually, the Ancient World sealed itself off, making it difficult for people from the Endless Divine Realm to enter again. Only in recent thousands of years has this seal begun to weaken, allowing some gods from the Endless Divine Realm to venture into the Ancient World and disrupt its development."
At this point, the Old Master let out a long sigh. Even now, thinking back on that battle felt terrifying! The Stellar Power of those intruders brought immense disaster upon the Endless Divine Realm—one that was even more horrifying than the selection process of the Bloodshed Shop.
Of course, only the Eighteen Supreme Gods knew about the Bloodshed Shop's selection; others, no matter how powerful they were, remained unaware of its specifics. Only a few well-informed individuals had heard about what transpired during that selection.
Thus, at the Temple of Martial Arts, they truly did not know that the Eighteen Supreme Gods had decided to abandon their campaign against the Ancient World simply because a new selection order from the Bloodshed Shop had just been issued. As preparations were being made to send an army into the Ancient World, this order temporarily alleviated its crisis.
The Old Master was unaware of this fact; even with his strength at Supreme God Realm level, he remained oblivious.
Wei Chen himself was even less informed.
"The brutal battle left painful memories for those from the Endless Divine Realm. On one hand, they harbored hatred for the Ancient World; on the other hand, they desired to obtain Stellar Techniques from it but hesitated to take action."
"This time, news has spread within the Demon Domain that Stellar Techniques have reappeared. The high-ranking officials of the Endless Divine Realm convened and have decided to deploy troops."
The Old Master finished speaking and looked at Wei Chen. "I suppose you came to the Endless Divine Realm for this reason? You are the first Boundary God from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System. Without Stellar Techniques, you would be highly sought after in the Endless Divine Realm; however, due to their existence, you have been classified as a primary enemy by their system."
Wei Chen smiled nonchalantly and replied, "It is precisely because of Stellar Techniques that I possess such formidable strength. Otherwise, as just a Boundary God, I would be like a soft persimmon—easily squeezed by anyone."
"That's true. As long as you are given some time to adapt to Void Pressure in the Endless Divine Realm, those Supreme Gods will be nothing but easy targets for you," said the Old Master.
"Wei Chen said, 'But the Endless Divine Realm won't give me that time.'
'Indeed, your time is truly limited. At most, you have another six months. Once the Army is fully integrated, your Ancient World Spatial Dimension System will be in trouble.'
'Six months? Does that mean the Demon Domain still has over a hundred years to develop?' Wei Chen asked in surprise.
'According to the Spatial Plane level conversion, it might be about that,' Old Master replied.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and said, 'That’s somewhat better. With over a hundred years, there will at least be tens of thousands of Star Power Physical Deification experts emerging within the Demon Domain.'
'It won’t matter. Ordinary Stellar Technique practitioners, even if they ascend to godhood, are no match for the Third-Level Deities of the Endless Divine Realm, and there are probably millions of them,' Old Master said calmly.
Hearing this, Wei Chen shook his head nonchalantly and said, 'Anyway, as long as I obtain two artifacts from the Ancient World and return to seal it off again, everything will be fine.'
'That’s not difficult. Although the Endless Divine Realm can easily open a Spatial Tunnel to the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System, as long as you seal it with the artifacts, they won’t have any way to counter it,' Old Master stated.
Wei Chen said, 'Then we can speak openly about our cooperation. How should we begin?'
Old Master smiled and replied, 'It's simple. You can fight boldly against the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming without worry. Our Temple of Martial Arts can restrain the Privy Hall and the Wei Family; we will definitely not let them assist.'
A cold expression appeared on Wei Chen's face as he said, 'Senior, you really underestimate my intelligence. In a situation like this, if I were to fight the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, you wouldn’t help him anyway; that’s obvious. Is this what you call cooperation?'
Seeing Wei Chen's attitude, Old Master showed an awkward expression and chuckled sheepishly. 'We can intervene if necessary, but then the Privy Hall and the Wei Family would also become our enemies. Could we withstand that? Besides, no matter what, you are part of the Ancient World system. If our Temple of Martial Arts openly supports you, we would lose our reason for existence and could be destroyed by the entire Endless Divine Realm.'
'So what benefits can you provide me? Since you've already shared so much with me, I understand your intentions clearly; just be straightforward,' Wei Chen said flatly.
'I can offer you some pills that will shorten your adaptation time to Void Pressure, allowing you to regain more strength in a short period. That way, your chances against the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming will increase,' Old Master proposed his terms. He hoped to see Wei Chen kill the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, but with Wei Chen's current combat power suppressed by Void Suppression, he could barely hold his ground against him. To actually slay the Supreme Deity was a pipe dream. The only help Temple of Martial Arts could provide was to reduce some of the void pressure on Wei Chen; beyond that, they couldn't guarantee much."
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Does that kind of elixir have any side effects?"
"Whether it has side effects or not, you should know when you refine and absorb it," the Old Master replied.
His meaning was clear: there were no side effects.
Wei Chen thought to himself, "Anyway, I need to cause some trouble for the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. Having the Temple of Martial Arts secretly helping me is better than having nothing at all. That kind of elixir is definitely a precious resource within the Endless Divine Realm, capable of countering Void Pressure; everyone needs it. What I can do now is to ask for as many benefits as possible while also being wary of the Temple of Martial Arts stabbing me in the back."
"Master of the Hall, how many of those elixirs can you give me?" Wei Chen asked calmly.
The Old Master said, "Ten. It will reduce your adaptation time to the Void Pressure in the Endless Divine Realm by one hundred thousand years."
"That's so few?" Wei Chen pouted. "Senior, you need to think this through. If I manage to kill the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, the biggest beneficiaries will be you at the Temple of Martial Arts. You might even become the new Supreme God, possessing the Divine King Token. Is that status really worth just ten? With a reduction of one hundred thousand years, what kind of strength can I achieve? I'm not confident."
"Friend, ten is already a lot. We at the Temple of Martial Arts only have a few dozen of those elixirs," the Old Master replied.
Hearing this, Wei Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart. If the Old Master and the entire Temple of Martial Arts had only a few dozen, then there must be more than that in reality.
He looked at the Old Master with a smile and said lightly, "One hundred elixirs, and I will definitely help you kill the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. I'll take my artifact and leave the Endless Divine Realm. I promise not to bring anyone back to cause trouble in the Endless Divine Realm; once the Ancient World is sealed off, the Endless Divine Realm and Ancient World will no longer interact."
"One hundred? Why don't you go die? The combined total of elixirs from both the Temple of Martial Arts and Privy Hall doesn't even reach one hundred! Do you think that kind of top-tier elixir is easy to refine? One elixir reduces time by ten thousand years; it takes ten thousand years to produce one! In the Endless Divine Realm, it's already difficult for Fifth-Level Deities and Supreme Gods to increase their power. That kind of elixir is the best option; do you think it's candy?"
The Old Master was somewhat exasperated, his face turning red.
"To be honest with you, we at the Temple of Martial Arts have only a little over sixty in total. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't even take one out," he said gloomily while looking at Wei Chen. "You’re asking for too much and have chosen poorly; that kind of elixir is impossible."
"Alright," Wei Chen said with a bitter smile as he nodded. He could tell that the Old Master was speaking truthfully; thus, he could reduce his demands appropriately.
"Fifty, give me fifty. If I can shorten the adaptation time by five hundred thousand years, I can take down the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. After that, I'll leave immediately and won't involve your Temple of Martial Arts. What do you think?"
"Twenty, no more," Old Master waved his hand, rejecting Wei Chen.
Wei Chen replied, "Fifty. One less, and I'm out."
"Who is more anxious now? Even if our Temple of Martial Arts gives you nothing, you'll still have to risk it to kill the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming," Old Master sneered at Wei Chen, feeling a surge of frustration that made him want to spit blood.
He had seen people make outrageous demands before, but someone like Wei Chen, who was so brazenly aggressive, was truly a rarity.
Wei Chen stood up and said, "If that's the case, then I'll take my leave. I want fifty—no less."
He cast a deep glance at Old Master before turning to leave.
Old Master was left in a daze; how could this guy be so disrespectful?
"The maximum I can offer you is thirty. Any more would require waking all the elders of the Temple of Martial Arts from their secluded training for a meeting to negotiate. That process takes a long time, and you won't be able to wait."
As Wei Chen reached the door, Old Master's words reached his ears.
Wei Chen paused and turned back to look at Old Master, smiling as he said, "Thirty? Hah, make it thirty-five. If you give me that, I'll refine and absorb them right away and go kill the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. My strength isn't particularly strong, but I've never feared the Supreme God of the Endless Divine Realm."
