Hearing Second Uncle's words, Wei Chen felt a strange sensation in his heart: these three old fellows were not to be underestimated. They were willing to stay within their True God World, willing to compromise, and willing to deal with the Bloodshed Shop being used as pawns. All of this showed that it was not their bottom line.
Their true bottom line was the Green Energy Stone, the item they had gone to great lengths to seize from their lost city.
For that object, they would rather die; they would rather see the Green Energy Stone disappear than not defend it.
If Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three had anything they could not give up, it was the Green Energy Stone.
That was their belief and dignity that they would defend with their lives.
Wei Chen understood this belief and dignity.
As for himself, did he not have his own beliefs and dignity?
Wei Chen's beliefs and dignity were not treasures but his family, his children, his friends, his world, and his people.
Any condition could be negotiated, but when it came to beliefs and dignity, there could be no compromise.
"Sigh, these three old fellows are truly pitiful. They've been trapped at the bottom of Azure Green Pool for so long, inexplicably suppressed by a Supreme-Level Expert. When they still didn't understand what was happening, I squeezed them for labor. It's honestly a bit sad!"
"Forget it. That so-called Green Energy Stone is useless to me anyway. I have no intention of expanding any power. What can the Green Energy Stone do? When my friends and I need Green Energy for cultivation, we can just go find them. Why steal from others?"
"Although the Green Energy Stone is the most precious thing at the bottom of Azure Green Pool, it’s useless to me!"
Wei Chen initially wanted to follow Killing God Senior's suggestion and acquire the Green Energy Stone. But now it seemed impossible. Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were in such a state that there was no room for negotiation left; Wei Chen stopped thinking about it. Killing God Senior wanted the Green Energy Stone merely so that when Wei Chen reached the Tenth Level Divine Realm, he could quickly obtain Green Energy and allow Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three to reside within Wei Chen's True God World. At that time, Wei Chen would also gain access to Green Energy; there was no need to fight over control of the Green Energy Stone.
With this thought in mind, Wei Chen clenched his fist against his left chest, a serious expression on his face as he looked at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three. He vowed, "I, Wei Chen, swear here that I will never covet control over the Green Energy Stone. It is something you sacrificed countless things to obtain; I will never attempt to claim it as my own."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three immediately felt relieved. A look of ease appeared on their faces; as long as Wei Chen gave up control over the Green Energy Stone, everything would be negotiable.
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were all seasoned individuals who could see that Wei Chen spoke with absolute sincerity; his vow was genuine and not a joke. With such words from him, they felt reassured.
"Very well, Wei Chenyu, let's wish for a pleasant cooperation."
"Hehe, Wei Chenyu, Killing God, when you reach the Tenth Level Deity, you will also need Green Energy. We guarantee that when the time comes, all the Green Energy produced from our Green Energy Stones will be supplied to you. You can absorb as much as you want; we won't mind at all."
"Indeed, we are in the same trench. The sooner you become strong, the better it is for our overall situation."
Having expressed their deepest concerns, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three began to speak more politely, and the atmosphere instantly became harmonious.
Wei Chen and Killing God Senior nodded with smiles. As long as they could receive enough Green Energy supply at that time, what would they need the Green Energy Stones for?
After all, Killing God Senior's mindset was the same as Wei Chen's; they were both accustomed to their own strength and not used to expanding their influence. Let Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three handle the matter of expanding influence along with their Lost City.
This was extremely beneficial for both parties.
As the discussion reached this point, the general idea had been established; only a few matters remained.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and looked at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three before saying lightly, "Seniors, there are many people waiting to seize treasures above the Azure Green Pool. Many powerful beings from the Endless Divine Realm have gathered this time because it seems that some formations in the Lost City are about to break. The treasures inside are about to be unearthed."
"We know that three formations are about to shatter this time, and three treasures will fly out. However, we have no intention of getting involved. Those formations could have been easily repaired; we were just bored before and had no interest in doing so. Now that we see hope, we naturally won't let our treasures slip away," Great-Uncle Three said with a smile.
Wei Chen shook his head and replied, "Great-Uncle Three, what I mean is that since so many powerful beings from the Endless Divine Realm have come, it would be a bit unreasonable if they leave empty-handed."
"Then let one of the formations break and let them seize the treasure," Great-Uncle Three said.
Wei Chen nodded in agreement. "I was thinking the same thing. Is it likely that a Sea Palace will be unearthed?"
"Yes, that Sea Palace has fallen into disrepair over the years; its formation is starting to crumble and won't hold up much longer," Great-Uncle Three explained.
Wei Chen asked, "Is there anything valuable inside that Sea Palace?"
"For us, naturally there is nothing of great value. But for those from the Endless Divine Realm, those items would be considered top-notch," Great-Uncle Three replied.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's first collect the best items from inside. As for the rest, we can let them all be unearthed together for the people of the Endless Divine Realm to fight over. What do you think?"
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three exchanged glances, all in agreement with Wei Chen's plan. If they didn't give anything to the strong ones from the Endless Divine Realm, it would be risky to go there at all. On the other hand, giving away all the treasures from the Sea Palace felt a bit too much to bear. Following Wei Chen's suggestion to take some first and then release the rest seemed like a perfect solution.
Without wasting any time, Great-Uncle Three immediately vanished. A few breaths later, he returned with a pile of treasures floating in front of Wei Chen. "Wei Chenyu, take a look for yourself and take whatever you like."
Wei Chen shook his head and smiled, "I don't really need anything; just put it away."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three felt an increased fondness for him. This fellow appeared young but was steady and generous in his actions, not greedy for wealth—a truly rare talent!
They couldn't help but wonder if following this fellow closely might actually allow them to deal with the Bloodshed Shop. Even the renowned Killing God had become his subordinate!
Although Killing God Senior was Wei Chen's mentor, various circumstances indicated that Killing God Senior was not involved in decision-making; it was all Wei Chen calling the shots.
Because of this, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three felt that Killing God Senior was merely a subordinate while Wei Chen was the main player.
Great-Uncle Three said, "Wei Chenyu, these items are of little use to us. If you see anything you like, feel free to take it; don’t hold back."
Wei Chen smiled and replied, "Once the Lost City is restored, there will be many Talented Disciples who need rewards. It would be better to keep these items as rewards for future Talented Disciples. They won't be of much use in my hands anyway; I don't trust any weapons—I only believe in my fists."
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three all gave him a thumbs up.
"This kid has limitless potential!"
"Indeed! At such a young age with such a good mindset—impressive."
"And with the famous Killing God supporting him, just imagine how strong he will become in the future!"
"Let’s not forget that he has this level of strength while already possessing a complete True God World."
"Well, this Fellow has great potential, and he handles things in an orderly manner. He is trustworthy."
"Perhaps within his True God World, we will witness the birth of a legend?"
Because Wei Chen did not take those Treasures with high moral integrity, his status rose sharply in the eyes of Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three.
"Paralyze me, as if I don't want to benefit! But at such a time, how could I not take it? Taking it makes me human; not taking it makes me a virtuous gentleman. Even a fool knows what to choose!"
"Anyway, you all will go into my True God World, and the Lost City will also be transferred there. Those things are both yours and mine!"
Wei Chen watched as Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three laughed happily. His calculations were beyond their understanding... In fact, even Killing God Senior was fooled by Wei Chen, thinking that his actions represented a high moral standard.
In reality, not taking advantage when there is benefit to be had is foolishness. Wei Chen never played the fool; it was just that this time, taking the Treasure was not the greatest benefit. The greatest benefit came from the trust of Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three.
Wei Chen knew deeply that he had passed the test set by Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three. In their hearts, Wei Chen was already seen as a person of high moral integrity. Such benefits could never be compared to those mere Treasures.
Seeing Great-Uncle Three put away those Treasures, Wei Chen didn't even blink, showing no emotion at all. Who could know that his heart was bleeding? Those Treasures were all top-notch items in the Endless Divine Realm! Some of those weapons were nearly at the artifact level of the Ancient World, except for lacking an Artifact Spirit.
This also shows just how formidable the artifacts born from the Ancient World's Ten Divine Artifacts truly are. Even the finest weapons from the Spatial Plane where Bloodshed Shop is located cannot compare to the Ten Great Artifacts of the Ancient World. Moreover, most importantly, the Ten Great Artifacts of the Ancient World all possess Artifact Spirits—something that other top-tier weapons can never match.
With a high moral laugh, Wei Chen earned deep admiration from Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three.
