For the first time in his life, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt like he was just a person.
Once upon a time, he was an upright man, someone who understood the distinction between right and wrong and never coveted what belonged to others. However, as time passed, human desires inevitably surged, and the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's ambitions had indeed skyrocketed.
In fact, when he first encountered Wei Chen, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt a tinge of disappointment. Deep down, he looked down on Wei Chen; after all, Wei Chen merely exhibited Formation Assignment skills. His Divine Realm was not strong, and the extent of his Stellar Power remained unknown to the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. Overall, Wei Chen did not seem impressive at all—just average.
It was only when Wei Chen inexplicably broke through to Sixth-Level Deity and managed to assist a Fifth-Level Deity from the Endless Divine Realm in easily advancing to Sixth Level Divine Realm through formations that the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming began to take him seriously. He realized that Wei Chen, hailing from the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System, was indeed a rare talent. Yet, there was still a long way to go before he could treat him fairly. After all, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was no benevolent figure; if he were, he would have perished long ago in a place like the Endless Divine Realm.
After Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three appeared, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming felt a profound fear towards Wei Chen. How could he not be intimidated by someone with such powerful allies?
However, Wei Chen did not rely on those three strong figures to bully others; instead, he remained calm and composed, leaving the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming unsure of what Wei Chen was truly thinking.
Because of this, at this moment, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming's attitude towards Wei Chen had completely transformed into genuine respect.
Wei Chen stated that at the negotiation table, what mattered most was not the trump cards but the sincerity between both parties. The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming pondered this deeply and found it to be true; otherwise, with Wei Chen holding all the initiative, he could have made numerous demands but chose not to.
After contemplating for a while, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming looked at Wei Chen with a respectful expression and asked lightly, "Wei Chenyu, how is it that you can relinquish your absolute initiative? Forgive my frankness, but in my view, everyone has their own selfish motives. I have never encountered anyone without them and cannot imagine why you would inexplicably give up such an advantage when you are in a position of strength."
Wei Chen smiled lightly and replied, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, it seems you've been in your position for too long that you've forgotten the basic sincerity between people. Or perhaps you've been in your role for so long that you haven't interacted with many people and have grown accustomed to looking down from your lofty position without any friends."
"Yes, you're right. I haven't known what friendship is for a long time. In our position, having friends is quite luxurious; who can afford to have friends? Friendship implies many things—things we cannot possess," said the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming calmly.
Wei Chen chuckled and said, "It's actually quite simple; you just haven't met the right people. Once you do meet them, everything will become easy."
"The right people? Ha! It's not that easy! Friendship requires going through much together. My identity predestines me to be lonely; I cannot experience those things. I wish I could have friends and love like ordinary people!" At this point, a sense of desolation filled the face of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
Wei Chen replied gently, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, I don't think it's that difficult at all. Although you are a Supreme God, you are still a living person. The gods within the Endless Divine Realm cannot escape their humanity; even those who possess True God World are merely gods. Within their True God World, they are gods; outside it, they are just beings."
"True God World?" Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming displayed an expression of astonishment. "You actually know about True God World?"
Wei Chen looked helplessly at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and said calmly, "Is it really that strange? The True God World isn't some big secret; many people know about it. If you're thinking this way, how could I possibly not know something that even you are aware of? The three powerful individuals who just appeared are all from the Bloodshed Shop's Spatial Dimension System. They have long since told me everything about the Divine Realm."
Only then did the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming realize that behind Wei Chen stood several giants. The strength of those giants was enough to annihilate anyone in the Endless Divine Realm in an instant, and they naturally knew about the True God World. However, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had not expected that Wei Chen had such a good relationship with those seniors, and that they would share information about the True God World with him. It was known that even within the Endless Divine Realm, the True God World was absolutely secretive!
This proved that Wei Chen's relationship with those three Senior Lius was definitely not ordinary.
Thus, the attitude of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming toward Wei Chen changed once again.
If he had previously suspected that Wei Chen was merely using the giants' influence, he now had no doubts whatsoever.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming gave Wei Chen a thumbs up and said, "You truly are impressive; even those Senior Lius of such caliber are willing to serve you."
In truth, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was testing Wei Chen. He wanted to hear from Wei Chen himself how his Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three regarded him.
He deliberately used the word "serve," hoping for a humble rebuttal from Wei Chen.
Unexpectedly, Wei Chen merely nodded lightly, showing no intention of being modest.
Wei Chen said, "Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three will be by my side for a while. If I have any major matters requiring assistance, they won't hesitate to lend their strength."
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was speechless; they really were going to serve Wei Chen! He found it hard to imagine that such powerful figures would converse with Wei Chen—wasn't that already giving him face? How could they possibly act as subordinates? Although Wei Chen didn't state it outright, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming understood that what Wei Chen meant was that those three Senior Lius were indeed acting as his subordinates!
There were truly too many miracles in this world.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming didn't know how to respond. After pondering for a moment, Wei Chen continued, "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, let's return to our previous topic. Although I hold some advantages, I won't use trivial matters to coerce you into doing anything. Our cooperation is based on fairness and equality, not unilateral hegemony."
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming once again gave Wei Chen a thumbs up and said, "On this point, I greatly admire you. Honestly, you've taught me a lesson."
"It can't be considered a lesson; it's merely the most basic principle of cooperation," Wei Chen said calmly.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied, "Then we can settle this now. How should we cooperate?"
How to cooperate was a significant issue. The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming understood that Wei Chen wouldn't rely on those three Senior Lius to negotiate terms with him, so it would be simpler.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Supreme God, first, I need your support within the Endless Divine Realm. Whatever I do, as long as it doesn't threaten you, you must support me."
"That’s not a problem," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded in agreement with Wei Chen's first request.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and continued, "As for my Kunlun Mirror, you can continue to use it. My only requirement is that when we need the Kunlun Mirror in the Ancient World Spatial Dimension, you must present it without any delays or excuses."
"That’s fine," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming assured him. He understood deeply that this was Wei Chen's bottom line. If he couldn't even meet this condition, then cooperation would be impossible. Moreover, Wei Chen had enough capability to reclaim items from the Ancient World. Those three Senior Lius were no joke; if they intervened, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming would have no chance at all.
Wei Chen went on, "Thirdly, regarding this Eastern Forest Contest, your Southern Ming Divine Palace should refrain from interfering. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that you won't suffer losses."
This wasn't just a request; it was a warning.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming detected the underlying meaning in Wei Chen's words. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Wei Chenyu, is there some incident expected at the Eastern Forest Contest?"
Wei Chen chuckled casually and replied, "It's not exactly an incident, but it's not wise for you to get involved."
"Alright, I'll heed your advice," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded in agreement with Wei Chen's suggestion.
Wei Chen continued, "Next, I need some time-saving elixirs—specifically those that can withstand the pressure from the formations in the Endless Divine Realm. How many can you provide me?"
"One hundred," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming thought for a moment before raising one finger in front of Wei Chen.
Wei Chen frowned and asked, "Only a hundred?"
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming smiled wryly and replied, "Brother Wei Chen, a hundred is definitely not a small number! Our Southern Ming Divine Palace is not as wealthy as ordinary people imagine. You should know the value of such elixirs. I still need to reserve some to reward my subordinates, so a hundred is truly the limit of what I can offer."
Thinking of the Temple of Martial Arts, whose influence was only slightly weaker than that of the Southern Ming Divine Palace, Wei Chen recalled that Old Master Jin Ge had given him only a few elixirs as well. Considering this, receiving a hundred from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was indeed quite generous.
"Alright, a hundred it is," Wei Chen nodded.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming sighed, "Brother Wei Chen, it's not that I'm upset; we really don't have many of those elixirs in the Southern Ming Divine Palace."
"I understand," Wei Chen said, not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer.
After a pause, Wei Chen's expression turned extremely serious. He looked at the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and asked earnestly, "I have one last request that I hope you will agree to."
"What request? Brother Wei Chen, feel free to ask. If it's something I can do, I will certainly agree," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said with increasing politeness. The term "brother" was not something just anyone could earn.
A cruel smile appeared on Wei Chen's face as he spoke slowly, "The people from Privy Hall want to kill me. I won't allow that threat to continue existing. Once I destroy Privy Hall, their army will be under my control."
"In that case, I would also be considered one of your subordinates."
Wei Chen's ambition was unmistakable!
