Ordinary people simply did not have the qualifications to board the Warship of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
Even if, on occasion, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was in a good mood and invited some individuals aboard for tea, those guests would still be subjected to collective glares from the Supreme Deity's subordinates.
In short, if you lacked strength, it was best not to seek trouble; the Supreme Deity's subordinates would certainly make you very uncomfortable.
But Wei Chen was different.
Wei Chen's Formation Assignment was renowned, and that was one reason.
He had managed to repel the long-established First War God of the Southern Ming Divine Domain, Wei Jian, which showcased his own combat prowess—this was another reason.
Most importantly, perhaps, was his ability to help a Fifth-Level Deity effortlessly break through to Sixth-Level Deity.
Additionally, when Wei Chen himself broke through to Sixth-Level Deity, a pure Five Colored Light Sphere appeared—a phenomenon that no one in the Endless Divine Realm had ever witnessed before. It should be noted that when Wei Chen assisted Qian Youshi in breaking through to Sixth-Level Deity, only a faint mix of colors had manifested around Qian Youshi.
The potential was clear as day.
Considering all these factors, it would be hard for Wei Chen not to earn the respect of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's subordinates.
In this world, strength commanded respect; wherever a strong person went, there would always be admirers—this saying held true.
“Brother Wei Chen, let me introduce you. This is my chief steward, Elder Li, the only elder within the Southern Ming Divine Palace. You can call him Elder Li.” After taking a seat, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming summoned Elder Li over and introduced him to Wei Chen.
This action alone demonstrated how much the Supreme Deity valued Wei Chen; it was extraordinary.
Under normal circumstances, such a grand introduction was unnecessary. The Supreme Deity’s gesture indicated his desire to maintain a good relationship with Wei Chen. If they were to meet often, it was essential for his most trusted assistant to be acquainted with Wei Chen.
Wei Chen naturally understood this but felt no sense of being overwhelmed by favor. He merely smiled slightly and nodded at Elder Li, saying, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Elder Li.”
Neither overly humble nor disrespectful, Wei Chen struck a perfect balance.
Elder Li chuckled warmly and said, “Wei Chenyu, your strength impresses me greatly. It won’t be long before your name spreads throughout the entire Endless Divine Realm. By then, those seeking breakthroughs will line up to find you.”
Wei Chen smiled casually and said, "There's no need to complicate things. No matter how many people come, a single formation will suffice. If there are more people, we can just expand the formation; it won't waste anyone's time."
Elder Li replied calmly, "Forgive this old man for speaking frankly, but if you ask for nothing in return and help for free, it may not be appropriate."
Wei Chen asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you ask for nothing in return, people might think you have some ulterior motive. Some may even distrust you. It's better to take something in return; that way, it will last longer and make them feel their breakthroughs are valuable, rather than something so simple," Elder Li advised earnestly. He genuinely cared for Wei Chen's well-being and understood the intentions of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. From now on, Wei Chen and the Supreme Deity would be tied together, and Elder Li had to consider Wei Chen as he assisted the Supreme Deity.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and found some truth in Elder Li's words. However, he had already promised not to take any benefits for free; to do otherwise would mean breaking his word.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Li. I will consider it carefully when the time comes," Wei Chen nodded.
Elder Li smiled kindly at Wei Chen, nodded in acknowledgment, and then left.
"Brother Wei Chen, can you tell me what Elder Li's strength is?" the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming asked lightly.
Wei Chen chuckled and replied, "He is at the late stage of Sixth-Level Deity, still quite a distance from achieving Great Perfection."
"Good eye," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said with an approving expression. He then asked, "Can you tell me what my strength is?"
Wei Chen squinted slightly and whispered, "You have already broken through the shackles of Endless Divine Realm and reached the realm between Eighth Level Deity and Ninth Level Deity, right? Truly commendable!"
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was not surprised. He looked deeply at Wei Chen and said, "Brother Wei Chen, do you know how I achieved that?"
"Everyone has their own trump cards and secrets; I don't know and don't wish to know," Wei Chen replied with a calm gaze and tone, avoiding falling into the Supreme Deity's trap.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt somewhat disappointed. He stood up and fell silent for a moment before saying, "Wei Chen, let's speak openly. I am fully aware of your identity. The moment you entered Southern Ming Divine Domain, I sensed it. Don't forget that I am the Supreme God of Southern Ming Divine Domain; I am aware of every movement within it."
Wei Chen's heart sank; indeed, another person knew his identity now.
With one more person aware of his identity came an additional risk!
However, considering the position of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, if they wanted to deal with me, they would have acted long ago. Why wait until now?
Wei Chen hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and looked seriously at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, what do you want?"
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming smiled and said, "I just want to talk to you about some matters regarding the Ancient World and the Endless Divine Realm. Would you like to hear it?"
"I'm all ears," Wei Chen nodded. At this moment, whether he wanted to listen or not, he had to.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming chuckled and said, "Before coming to the Endless Divine Realm, did you think that the Endless Divine Realm would definitely send an army to the Ancient World to wreak havoc?"
"Pretty much," Wei Chen replied.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming shook his head and sighed, "Actually, within our Supreme Gods, there are differing opinions on how to treat the Ancient World. Some Supreme Gods are very close to the Bloodshed Shop and have almost been completely bought off as their lackeys. Their idea regarding the Ancient World is simply to send an army to eliminate it. The rest of the Supreme Gods, however, do not plan to do so. After all, the Ancient World and the Endless Divine Realm actually share a common origin."
"We who do not advocate for an expedition among the Supreme Gods hold the upper hand, which is why the Ancient World has been able to exist intact. Of course, I cannot deny that the higher-ups in the Endless Divine Realm do have some fear of the Ancient World. After all, if the artifacts from the Ancient World explode, even the Supreme Gods would perish."
"For various reasons, the Ancient World has continued to exist. However, after your strong rise, some people believe that the Ancient World might threaten the Endless Divine Realm and are preparing for an expedition. Fortunately for you, your timing is excellent; the Bloodshed Shop's selection competition just happened to issue a recruitment notice at this time, which indefinitely postponed any military action against the Ancient World."
"In fact, among the Supreme Gods, half of them welcome your rise. At least you possess a Divine Realm in the Endless Divine Realm; you are a Boundary God of the Demon Domain and one of us in this cultivation system."
"As for me, I have always held an appreciative attitude towards your rise. Only with a strong Ancient World can we in the Endless Divine Realm hope to emerge and change our current miserable colonial-like situation."
"In short, I believe that merely dealing with the Bloodshed Shop is insufficient because we in the Endless Divine Realm are being choked by them; everywhere there are formations and shackles that leave us powerless despite our intentions."
At this point, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming gazed deeply at Wei Chen and said softly, "I was wondering if it would be better if powerful individuals from the Ancient World's Star Power Physical Deification joined us."
"After all, in ancient times, those who achieved Star Power Physical Deification stirred up great upheaval within the Endless Divine Realm! Your Stellar Power would not be suppressed by Bloodshed Shop's formations; being able to unleash one hundred percent of your strength is quite terrifying. Upon hearing news of Stellar Technique reappearing, I closely monitored your movements until you arrived in the Endless Divine Realm."
"Wei Chen brother, that's basically all I have to say. I have shown enough sincerity; now if you want to ask anything else, feel free to speak. I will answer without reservation." The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had indeed shown a deep level of respect towards Wei Chen; everything he said was true without a single lie.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and replied calmly, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, what do you wish to gain from me?"
"What do you want? Heh heh, Brother Wei Chen, you're thinking too much. The Stellar Technique can only be cultivated by those from your Ancient World Spatial Dimension System. We from the Endless Divine Realm cannot cultivate the Stellar Technique. That thing, I will never ask you for it. As for the rest, we can negotiate how to cooperate," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said with a smile.
Upon hearing the Supreme Deity's words, Wei Chen felt a bit more at ease. What he valued most was, of course, the Stellar Technique. If the Supreme Deity wanted the Stellar Technique, Wei Chen would definitely not give it up. Despite the Supreme Deity appearing very strong now, in a real fight, Wei Chen knew he couldn't win. But could he not seek help?
Let’s not forget that within Wei Chen's True God World, Killing God Senior, Uncle from the Lost City, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were all top-tier powerhouses who could easily defeat anyone from the Endless Divine Realm. Even though Killing God Senior had warned Wei Chen that there were divine artifacts within the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, Wei Chen didn't care. When it came to controlling divine artifacts, could the Supreme Deity be more familiar than Wei Chen? Moreover, Wei Chen's Reprint was a true artifact; before the Reprint, even the Kunlun Mirror was nothing significant.
Wei Chen was confident enough to dare board the Supreme Deity's Warship. If he hadn't been sure, when the Supreme Deity revealed his identity, Wei Chen would have found a way to escape instead of waiting until now. His lack of flight indicated that regardless of whether their negotiations succeeded or failed, he could protect his own life.
This was fundamental during negotiations; without this assurance, there could be no fairness. Negotiating with a knife at your throat would only lead to unequal treaties being signed.
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, you should know why I came to the Endless Divine Realm," Wei Chen narrowed his eyes and a cold expression appeared on his face. Even on the Supreme Deity's territory, Wei Chen was fearless.
The Supreme Deity chuckled and said, "You want to retrieve two divine artifacts from your Ancient World, right?"
"You know well enough," Wei Chen replied calmly.
The Supreme Deity pouted and said, "The Shennong Ding is in Jingyun Divine Realm, far away from Southern Ming Divine Domain. You must have come to Southern Ming Divine Domain for the Kunlun Mirror in my possession?"
Wei Chen stared directly into the Supreme Deity's eyes and said in a deep voice, "That's right."
"Brother Wei Chen, even if that's the case, what makes you think you can snatch the Kunlun Mirror back from me?" The Supreme Deity smiled widely and did not take Wei Chen's words seriously.
This secret meeting seemed destined to be an unfair negotiation. It appeared that the Supreme Deity's strength was far superior to Wei Chen's; he already felt invincible.
