The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt invincible, convinced that his combat power far surpassed Wei Chen's. With a strong and capable army at his back, he held a significant advantage.
On Wei Chen's side, it seemed he could no longer contest anything with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. Whatever conditions were presented, he had no choice but to accept them, right?
Wei Chen said calmly, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, I respect you as an elder, so I can pretend I didn't hear what you said earlier. I represent the Ancient World Spatial Dimension. If you wish to cooperate with me, we must have a fair and equal relationship. What belongs to us must be returned; otherwise, how can I explain this to the people of the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System?"
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming chuckled lightly and replied, "Brother Wei Chen, perhaps you're being a bit too serious?"
"Are you saying you want to see my cards before granting me fair treatment?" Wei Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke coolly.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming shrugged and stated bluntly, "In negotiations, showing your strength is necessary to receive the treatment you deserve. Surely you understand this."
"Strength? Ha! Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, you're underestimating me," Wei Chen replied lightly.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming laughed and said, "Then show me your strength now; let me see for myself. Otherwise, I can't fathom why I should treat you comfortably."
Hearing the Supreme Deity's words gave Wei Chen a dizzy feeling; it was as if he were facing someone who wouldn't shed tears until they saw the coffin!
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, don't be too confident. I don't want to reveal my cards to you, but if you insist on seeing them, I don't mind. Just know that my friends have quite the temper. If you provoke them, it won't end well for you," Wei Chen said calmly.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming responded with a smile, "Whatever you say; who knows?"
To him, Wei Chen seemed like someone waving a flag without any real power or special means. If he had something substantial, he would have shown it by now instead of waiting until this moment.
Wei Chen declared, "If that's the case, then let me show you."
With that, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three from the Lost City appeared together.
As soon as they emerged, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt three immense forces locking onto him. It was as if three exalted beings were observing an ant.
He felt like that ant; with just a thought from those three exalted beings, his life could be forfeit.
The feeling was absolutely real, and definitely not a joke.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming revealed a look of fear as he stared at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three, his heart racing with dread as he thought, "These three old fellows must be Twelfth Level Divine Beings!"
"How could such terrifying figures appear?"
"Are they all under Wei Chen's command?"
For the first time in his life, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt a sense of despair deep within. If Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three merely had a fleeting thought, he would surely be dead.
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, they are all my people, all Twelfth Level Deities. Do you believe me now?" Wei Chen looked at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming with a smug expression on his face.
How could he not feel pleased? Previously, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had been so arrogant, but now he was being thoroughly suppressed by the three uncles. Wei Chen held an absolute advantage; it was impossible for him not to gloat.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was drenched in sweat and unable to speak under the pressure from the three uncles. Meanwhile, Wei Chen was filled with confidence and certainty of victory. The so-called initiative in negotiations and fair standing that the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming once had was completely overshadowed by Wei Chen. In fact, at this moment, Wei Chen held far more initiative at the negotiation table than the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming no longer had the qualifications to stand on equal footing with Wei Chen. Any one of the three formidable Twelfth Level Deities could easily annihilate him in an instant.
Wei Chen glanced at his three uncles and nodded slightly. In that instant, the three powerful Twelfth Level Deities vanished completely. No matter how much the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming used his Mental Strength to probe around, he could not find where those three strong beings had gone.
This was quite normal; given the strength of those three beings, no matter how hard the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming tried, it would be futile. If it were that easy to locate them, how could they still be considered Twelfth Level Deities?
After Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three left, the way the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming looked at Wei Chen changed entirely.
If there had been even a hint of arrogance in his gaze before when looking at Wei Chen, now it was completely replaced by respect.
Wei Chen's talent and strength were already worthy of respect. Now that the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming realized that Wei Chen possessed such formidable power, his attitude shifted entirely.
What once seemed dismissible became something he could no longer suppress or force into signing unequal treaties. No matter what Wei Chen wanted to do now, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming could only comply; there was no room for defiance left.
“Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, if I am not mistaken, your strength should be between Eighth Level Deity and Ninth Level Deity, right? In the Endless Divine Realm, your power has already surpassed the constraints left by the Bloodshed Shop. Among the eighteen top-tier Supreme Gods, your strength is undoubtedly the strongest,” Wei Chen said, looking at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming with a calm demeanor.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming smiled bitterly and nodded. “That’s correct. Thanks to your Ancient World Spatial Dimension System's Kunlun Mirror, my strength has received a tremendous boost. Over these years, I have hardly appeared in the Southern Ming Divine Domain; I have been in seclusion, cultivating and comprehending the Kunlun Mirror.”
With that, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming gazed deeply at Wei Chen and said, “Wei Chenyu, although you have formidable allies and it seems you want to reclaim the Kunlun Mirror, I do not have much confidence to refuse you. However, I would like to negotiate with you. Could you allow me to use the Kunlun Mirror for a period? After all, the Kunlun Mirror is an artifact that won’t disappear or become damaged due to my use. For you, it doesn’t hold much value, does it? Yet for me, it can unleash tremendous power. Given time, I could potentially break through to Twelfth Level Divine Realm within the Endless Divine Realm. At that point, our combat strength against the Bloodshed Shop would be significantly enhanced.”
Wei Chen sensed the sincerity in the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's words; there was no hint of pretense. Upon reflection, Wei Chen realized that the Supreme Deity was indeed correct—the Kunlun Mirror held little value in his hands and could only demonstrate its true power with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. Wei Chen had acquired the Kunlun Mirror merely to achieve his initial goal upon arriving in the Endless Divine Realm.
Time had passed; now Wei Chen no longer needed to seize artifacts.
The Ancient World and Endless Divine Realm were born from the same source. If the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming could truly refine and absorb the Kunlun Mirror to become its master, that would be a good outcome.
Wei Chen understood this.
After contemplating for a moment, he lifted his head and looked at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. “Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, the Kunlun Mirror is an artifact of our Ancient World Spatial Dimension System; you can acknowledge this, right?”
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, a tightness gripped the heart of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. Was he really going to take away the Kunlun Mirror?
A sense of despair arose within him as he realized that if Wei Chen took away the Kunlun Mirror, his strength would never advance again; he would remain stuck at Eighth Level Deity. There was simply no environment within the Endless Divine Realm for him to improve!
“That’s right; you are correct,” said the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming with a look of pity on his face. No matter what happened, he did not want the Kunlun Mirror to return to Wei Chen's hands.
“Wei Chenyu, I wish to continue cultivating with the Kunlun Mirror. Name your conditions.”
After a pause, he continued, “Or you can propose your terms; what must I do to keep using the Kunlun Mirror for my cultivation?”
To continue possessing the Kunlun Mirror from the Ancient World and to enhance his strength within the Endless Divine Realm, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was willing to pay any price.
In other words, any cost would be worth it.
"What conditions do you have?" Wei Chen pondered for a moment, considering that the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming would stand by his side against the Bloodshed Shop. The rest of the conditions were unnecessary.
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, as far as I'm concerned, the Kunlun Mirror is the same no matter who possesses it. My desire for the Kunlun Mirror was driven by fear of your Endless Divine Realm's Army attacking the Ancient World. We in the Ancient World were not yet fully capable of resisting your power. Using the Kunlun Mirror to seal off the Ancient World seemed like the best solution. However, times have changed. Now, we no longer need to do that. Just like you, the Endless Divine Realm will not attack the Ancient World. We have a common enemy: the Bloodshed Shop. Therefore, sealing off the Ancient World is not as important anymore," Wei Chen said calmly, looking at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was overjoyed. He could tell from Wei Chen's tone that he truly had little interest in the Kunlun Mirror! This made everything easier to negotiate.
"Wei Chen, state your conditions. To continue possessing the Kunlun Mirror for cultivation, I, Southern Ming, will keep my word. Whatever you need, as long as I can fulfill it, I will do my utmost to achieve it," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said sincerely, gazing earnestly at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and smiled. "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, you can temporarily keep the Kunlun Mirror for cultivation, but you must guarantee that when I need it back, you will return it to me in perfect condition."
"No problem, thank you." The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Wei Chen. He never expected that Wei Chen would be so accommodating without any conditions attached, allowing him to continue using the Kunlun Mirror for cultivation. Such good fortune was something he had never dreamed of.
At the same time, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming began to harbor some doubts. Did Wei Chen bring out those three formidable elders not to gain an upper hand in negotiations?
Could it be that those three elders were merely for show and lacked real combat power?
Before he could sort through his thoughts, Wei Chen spoke again. "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, let me tell you that at the negotiation table, what matters most is not the trump cards but rather the sincerity between both parties based on a common purpose."
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming learned from this lesson.
