Chapter 5: Requirements of the God of Killing
To be honest, Lian Yun had long suspected that the Imperial Coin would have a special purpose, and regardless of what that purpose was, it was an irresistible temptation for the Peerless Monarch and even the Half Emperor.
Thus, Fang Wu's words did not surprise Lian Yun.
However, at this moment, Lian Yun felt no stirring of emotions. Since he had already achieved Ultimate Ascension to Kingship and Ultimate Ascension to Emperor, what more was there to gain from becoming an Ultimate Emperor?
Yet, there was still a significant difference between an Ultimate Emperor and Ultimate Ascension to Emperor. Firstly, there were almost no individuals who could assist Lian Yun in this endeavor. Lan Ruoxuan's two major realms—Dream of the Ancient Times—should have already become ineffective, and the effects of Frosty Cold Realm would also be greatly diminished.
Moreover, he had not yet reached the unparalleled Emperor Realm. Therefore, the time required to attain this Ultimate Emperor status was difficult to estimate.
By the time Lian Yun had the opportunity to challenge the Half Emperor realm, it would likely take at least another decade. Thus, Lian Yun naturally felt no urgency.
Seeing that Lian Yun was unconcerned, Insect Emperor disregarded everything else and directly asked, "How is it calculated?"
"One borrowed returns one point five. Or ten thousand Mental Potions can be exchanged for one hundred. However, it may take a bit longer; there aren't many Mental Potions available."
The one borrowed returns one point five was considered a very high interest rate. It meant that if Lian Yun borrowed seven thousand, he would need to repay ten thousand five hundred billion Imperial Coins.
As for the Mental Potions, that was relatively straightforward to calculate.
Every year on Tomb-Sweeping Day, individuals like Insect Emperor could obtain around twenty thousand Mental Potions. Insect Emperor could earn a maximum of twenty billion Imperial Coins per month; thus, ten thousand Mental Potions would only exchange for one hundred billion Imperial Coins.
However, that was in the past. Nowadays, nearly all Peerless Monarchs were equipped with Silver Dragon Armor, significantly boosting their combat power. For Insect Emperor, he could now earn at least fifty to sixty billion per month. Twenty thousand Mental Potions would roughly equate to two to three hundred billion Imperial Coins in value.
But this still required Insect Emperor to fight himself and consume a considerable amount of Diamond Spirit Coins and other resources.
Overall, even now, ten thousand Mental Potions would only be worth about one hundred fifty billion Imperial Coins. However, for a Peerless Monarch, those ten thousand Mental Potions could potentially equal two to three hundred billion Imperial Coins.
Lian Yun's proposal did not put Insect Emperor and the others at a disadvantage.
This made the three of them somewhat tempted, but no one spoke up first. After all, if one person took all the Mental Potions, it would mean claiming the greatest benefit, which would inevitably disrupt their alliance or friendship.
Thus, Lian Yun suggested, "I propose to evenly distribute the Mental Potions among the three seniors. As for the Imperial Coins, I will return at least ten billion each year to you three seniors. What do you think?"
The three showed no intention of bargaining, which was their way of showing consideration for Lian Yun. Therefore, Lian Yun could not favor Insect Emperor with a larger share.
Fang Wu asked, "How many Mental Potions do you currently have?"
"I only have around forty thousand on me right now. After this Clear and Bright event, I should be able to obtain over sixty thousand more."
The value of One Hundred Thousand Neuro Agents was about fifteen billion Imperial Coins, but for the three of them, it could yield a share of two hundred billion Imperial Coins.
Even if each person only received one-third, that would still amount to over a hundred billion Imperial Coins in revenue, effectively recouping half of what was lent out.
The three were surprised but nodded in satisfaction.
Even close brothers need to settle accounts clearly. After signing a contract, Lian Yun received six hundred ninety-nine billion Imperial Coins.
Just a little short of a trillion Imperial Coins.
Once the contract was signed, all four were pleased. They then returned to the Central Square of the dynasty.
With the arrival of various personnel and the Half Emperor's descent, the Qingming Event began.
This time, Lian Yun flew into the air alongside Peerless Monarch, even reaching heights that surpassed some Peerless Monarchs to a certain extent.
Still accompanied by Xiao Jun, Lian Yun unleashed the Ten Thousand Sword Technique, sweeping horizontally in all directions and annihilating countless Giant Mouths. Xiao Jun then struck with a single sword strike, eliminating the Giant Mouths in that area.
The number of kills and the speed at which Lian Yun and Xiao Jun operated exceeded that of Peerless Monarch by more than double. Naturally, their gains were also more than double that of Peerless Monarch.
Just as the first phase was about to conclude and the Half Emperors were preparing to leave, Killer God Bai Qi suddenly approached Lian Yun and Xiao Jun.
With a calm gaze, he said to them, "Follow me for three months, and you will earn one hundred billion Imperial Coins."
"Hmm..." Lian Yun was slightly taken aback. One hundred billion Imperial Coins for three months was undoubtedly a lucrative offer that was hard to refuse.
However, for safety's sake, Lian Yun quickly bowed and asked, "May I ask what the God of Killing requires us to do?"
"Follow me to slay enemies!"
"Is it the Corrupted Mother you wish to kill?" Lian Yun speculated. It seemed that the God of Killing needed 'assistants' to face something that even Half Emperors found difficult to defeat—most likely the Corrupted Mother.
In three months' time, it seemed that Killer God Bai Qi intended to target not just one Corrupted Mother in a single area but many across different regions.
Killer God Bai Qi nodded, confirming Lian Yun's assumption.
Although following a Half Emperor into battle carried significant risks, the rewards were substantial. With a guaranteed base of one hundred billion Imperial Coins, Lian Yun would essentially possess trillions in Imperial Coins after the battles, with any additional spoils being his personal gain.
Thus, three months later, Lian Yun would no longer need to worry about leaving Yin Yang City.
Seeing the envious and jealous glances from many Peerless Monarchs around him indicated that this was a rare opportunity to form connections with a Half Emperor.
After confirming that Xiao Jun had no objections, Lian Yun agreed to the Half Emperor's request.
However, he and Xiao Jun would only be transported to the filthy realm's island after experiencing the Qingming Event. Upon arrival, Lian Yun immediately joined Lin Xiaoyao outside the island. He used Purple Qi to expel the Filth from Old Toad's body. Afterward, he left several bottles of Purple Qi for Lin Xiaoyao to provide Old Toad for cultivation.
While Purple Qi could potentially earn Lian Yun even more Imperial Coins, he did not want anyone other than his closest kin to know about its effects.
Nothing else mattered; the mere fact that it allowed Spirit to possess an Immortal Body was enough. If Yin City were to find out, the entire Yin City and the Nine Great Powers would likely stop at nothing to hunt him down.
Even figures like Killer God Bai Qi, who were Half Emperors, would come to seize his Purple Qi. How could Lian Yun not be on guard?
Once Old Toad recovered, Lin Xiaoyao immediately left to hunt down Filth, while Lian Yun returned to the island, standing side by side with Xiao Jun. Both of them were fully focused on creating a pure Spiritual Power Greatsword.
They both understood their roles and the direction of the battle.
Before long, Killer God Bai Qi arrived and without a word took Lian Yun and Xiao Jun into the air.
To be honest, Lian Yun and Xiao Jun were both unmatched at their level; now, even among Peerless Monarchs, few could compare. However, under Killer God Bai Qi's lead, Lian Yun still felt an overwhelming sense of speed that was almost surreal.
Yet even with this speed, it was something that no amount of power increase—tenfold or otherwise—could surpass. This was the distinction between a Half Emperor and those below that level.
It seemed that no matter how capable a Peerless Monarch might be, they could never truly compare to a Half Emperor.
It was akin to a difference in life levels.
