“Ying Qin Supreme Deity? You’re here to visit me?”
Wei Chen was completely bewildered. What was going on here?
“I have nothing to do with this Ying Qin Supreme Deity. Why would they inexplicably come to visit me?”
“Even if they knew my identity, it wouldn’t lead them to visit me, would it?”
Wei Chen couldn’t make sense of it, so he directly asked, “Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, what’s going on here?”
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming replied, “This isn’t the place for conversation. Shall we discuss it inside my Southern Ming Divine Palace?”
“Whatever you say.” Wei Chen responded calmly.
As the saying goes, the bold are often skilled. Wei Chen wasn’t afraid of what the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and that laid-back Ying Qin Supreme Deity might pull; he decided to go along.
“Brother Wei Chen, I’ve been friends with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming for countless years. You can trust me just as you would trust them,” Ying Qin Supreme Deity said with a grin, nodding at Wei Chen. In the next moment, he formed a few hand seals, and a dark entrance appeared out of thin air before him.
“A minor technique, forgive my clumsiness,” Ying Qin Supreme Deity smiled at Wei Chen and stepped into the Spatial Tunnel. Following closely behind, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming also entered the tunnel.
Despite being shocked, Wei Chen didn’t think it was a big deal and quickly followed suit.
“To be able to tear open a Spatial Tunnel with just one hand—does such power really belong to an ordinary Supreme God?”
“This Ying Qin Supreme Deity probably has some special means; perhaps it’s their innate Divine Skill.”
In the blink of an eye, everything brightened up, and Wei Chen found himself in a Sea Palace filled with Divine Power.
This Sea Palace was none other than the Southern Ming Divine Palace of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
"Brother Wei Chen, this is my Sea Palace. Normally, I reside here. When we were in the Eastern Forest, I invited you to my Southern Ming Divine Palace as a guest. This time, let's consider it fulfilling that wish," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said with a smile.
Wei Chen nodded slightly, shrugging noncommittally. The more polite the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming became, the more he felt something was amiss.
Especially with that Ying Qin Supreme Deity, who seemed like someone not to be trifled with. From the Temple of Martial Arts to the Southern Ming Divine Palace, he had arrived in an instant using his unique abilities.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming led Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity into his Sea Palace. Once they sat down in the main hall, Elder Li immediately prepared fragrant tea and served it before respectfully leaving.
The conversation among the three supreme God-Level figures was not something for Elder Li to eavesdrop on; he was well aware of his place. He knew about Ying Qin Supreme Deity, and as for Wei Chen, his strength and influence were on par with both the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity. In Elder Li's eyes, Wei Chen's status was nearly equal to that of the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming.
After Elder Li left, Wei Chen got straight to the point: "Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, Ying Qin Supreme Deity, I wonder why you have come such a long way to find me? Is there something important to negotiate? Let's be straightforward."
Hearing Wei Chen's words, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming smiled slightly and said, "Then let's be direct. We indeed have important matters to negotiate with you this time."
With that, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming gestured toward Ying Qin Supreme Deity and continued, "Ying Qin Supreme Deity's innate Divine Skill is Void Traversal. He can travel from the Southern Ming Divine Palace to the Temple of Martial Arts in an instant. Perhaps his combat power isn't very strong, but within the Endless Divine Realm, even if all the Supreme Gods united together, they would not be able to defeat him."
By that logic, he truly could not be defeated because Ying Qin Supreme Deity could escape...
But wasn't that not being defeated? If he could run away, didn't that count as a failure?
Faced with the praise from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, Ying Qin Supreme Deity's expression turned slightly awkward. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Wei Chen, don't listen to what the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming is saying. I'm not invincible; I just excel at running away."
Ying Qin Supreme Deity was quite honest; his words made Wei Chen feel a sense of familiarity. This was how it should be—speaking truthfully without pretense.
Wei Chen chuckled and replied, "Being able to escape is also a skill; at least I can't move that fast."
"What kind of skill is that? Brother Wei Chen doesn't need to belittle me," Ying Qin Supreme Deity said with an awkward laugh before turning his gaze toward the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. "Southern Ming, let's get down to business; there's no point in beating around the bush."
"Alright." The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming nodded and looked at Wei Chen. "Brother Wei Chen, Ying Qin Supreme Deity excels at Void Traversal, and the Kunlun Mirror from the Ancient World is indeed an artifact of the Void Traversal type. If we let Ying Qin Supreme Deity use the Kunlun Mirror, perhaps it will unleash powerful forces."
Wei Chen frowned and said, "Isn't the Kunlun Mirror in your hands? What does it have to do with me? Do you think I have another Kunlun Mirror?"
"That's not what I mean. The Ying Qin Supreme Deity is here to borrow the Kunlun Mirror from me, but since the Kunlun Mirror is something you lent to me temporarily, I need your permission to lend it to the Ying Qin Supreme Deity," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming said seriously as he looked at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen sighed, "Why is this so troublesome? Is it really worth your time to come all this way for such a small matter?"
"It's not about whether it's worth it; it's a matter of principle. The ownership of the Kunlun Mirror is yours, so if I'm going to lend it to someone else, I naturally need to ask for your consent. That's my principle," the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming stated with righteous conviction.
"Alright, alright, I give in. If you want to lend it, go ahead," Wei Chen said with a wry smile. What on earth was going on?
In truth, Wei Chen wasn't that interested in all these matters. To him, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was just being overly cautious and making things unnecessarily complicated. He had the Kunlun Mirror and would be willing to let the Ying Qin Supreme Deity use it without any objections.
However, Wei Chen also realized one thing: the Ying Qin Supreme Deity probably already knew quite a bit about his background.
Perhaps that was the real reason why the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity had brought him to the Southern Ming Divine Palace?
The Kunlun Mirror was merely an excuse; the real main event had yet to begin.
After Wei Chen agreed, both the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity fell silent. They exchanged glances, each looking as if they had something to say but were holding back.
Wei Chen helplessly remarked, "You two called me here; it can't just be about who has the Kunlun Mirror, right? Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, since the Kunlun Mirror is in your possession, you can lend it to whoever you want; I have no say in that. What is your true purpose? Just get straight to the point; there's no need to waste everyone's time."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, the expressions of both the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and the Ying Qin Supreme Deity suddenly turned serious, completely different from their earlier hesitance.
"Brother Wei Chen, you come from the Ancient World; this much I know from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. As for me, I hold no prejudice against you. On the contrary, I am grateful for the opportunity to study the Kunlun Mirror for a while. When the eighteen Supreme Gods decided to attack the Ancient World, both I and the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming opposed that decision. You will understand this better once you interact with more Supreme Gods; we don't expect you to fully trust us. But my stance is clear: neither I nor the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming ever intended to target the Ancient World. Regardless of circumstances, both the Ancient World and our Endless Divine Realm are central to this universe. Although there were some unpleasant events due to Intruders wreaking havoc in our Endless Divine Realm, that was long ago. Time has passed; we have moved on from those matters. The Endless Divine Realm and Ancient World should not be at odds."
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity looked at Wei Chen earnestly as he spoke.
Wei Chen smiled lightly and said, "Ying Qin Supreme Deity, if you can think this way, then I'll consider you a friend."
"I share the same thoughts as the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming; I can swear to that. Our goal is not to confront the Ancient World, including the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, nor do we seek to seize the Kunlun Mirror from the Ancient World. Rather, our sense of crisis is overwhelming, and we urgently need strength," said the Ying Qin Supreme Deity.
Wei Chen didn't know how to respond; he could only nod and look at the Ying Qin Supreme Deity, signaling him to continue.
Encouraged, the Ying Qin Supreme Deity's expression brightened. "Brother Wei Chen, to be honest, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and I have communicated long ago. Our enemy is the Bloodshed Shop; it has always been the Bloodshed Shop. The Bloodshed Shop has set up countless formations within our Endless Divine Realm, controlling every inch of land in it. As a result, our Endless Divine Realm cannot produce any beings stronger than the Sixth Level Divine Realm. It's not that our Spatial Plane level is low; it's that the suppression from the Bloodshed Shop is too strong, leaving us with no way out."
"On the surface, we Supreme Gods appear glamorous, but in reality, we are merely pawns of the Bloodshed Shop. Every Supreme God is well aware of this; some choose to comfortably serve as pawns, some endure helplessly, while others are quietly preparing for resistance at all times."
After hearing the Ying Qin Supreme Deity's words, Wei Chen began to understand what he was getting at.
As expected, the Ying Qin Supreme Deity continued, "The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and I have been friends for millions of years. Although there may occasionally be some friction—unavoidable among friends—we stand together on major issues."
"Typically, when two Divine Realms are adjacent, their relationship cannot be good; they guard against each other and may even fight. However, there has never been significant friction between our Winning the Qin Divine Realm and Southern Ming Divine Domain because of my good relationship with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming."
"If it weren't for that relationship, I wouldn't have been able to borrow the Kunlun Mirror from the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming. I know that with the Kunlun Mirror, he has significantly increased his strength and reached the Ninth Level Divine Realm despite the Bloodshed Shop's suppression over the Endless Divine Realm."
"Maintaining such a friendly relationship with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming for so many years is due to a consensus we reached long ago; our lifelong aspirations are aligned."
The Ying Qin Supreme Deity gazed deeply at Wei Chen and continued, "We do not covet a hegemonic position within the Endless Divine Realm nor seek power obtained through serving as pawns for the Bloodshed Shop. What we truly desire is to drive out the Bloodshed Shop from the Endless Divine Realm and restore its vitality."
"For this goal, both the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and I are willing to pay any price—even if it costs us our lives. But we are weak; relying solely on ourselves will lead to swift death and only allow true pawns to emerge and serve the Bloodshed Shop."
