Once Great-Uncle Three had put everything away, Wei Chen said calmly, "Great-Uncle Three, the next matter is the most important one."
"What is it?"
"Feel free to speak; we will do our best to accommodate you."
"Yes, we are already somewhat familiar with each other’s personalities and styles. We are all straightforward people, so there’s no need for any beating around the bush. Let’s get to the point."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three's fondness for Wei Chen increased significantly, and their words became more polite.
Wei Chen continued, "This isn't just about accommodating me; it concerns the future of the Lost City."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three immediately turned serious. They all looked at Wei Chen intently, waiting for him to continue, showing him the respect he deserved.
Wei Chen stated, "The Lost City is your foundation. You wouldn’t want to watch it slowly turn into ruins at the bottom of Azure Green Pool, would you?"
"Of course not, but we have no way to do anything about it. The Lost City is so vast; how could we possibly take it away?"
"Wei Chenyu, we are also in a helpless situation. Our plan was to get out first and wait until we reached a certain level before looking for an opportunity to return and retrieve the Lost City."
"Exactly. It all depends on whether we can develop quickly enough; otherwise, if too much time passes, the Lost City will become ruins."
"If we hadn’t been maintaining it from within, the Lost City would have already turned into ruins. After we leave, it wouldn’t take a few hundred years for it to be finished."
"Sigh, thinking about this is painful, but we simply can't find a solution."
As Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three spoke these words, their expressions were filled with sorrow; they looked quite miserable. If the Green Energy Stone was something they were determined to protect, then the Lost City was like an abandoned child. But there was nothing they could do; the Lost City was destined to remain in Azure Green Pool and become ruins. Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three had long since thought this through; no matter how they pondered over it, they couldn’t come up with a solution.
When Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three hoped to watch the Lost City turn into ruins, did they really want to see that happen?
Their hearts were bleeding, but who knew?
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three wore expressions of helplessness, their eyes filled with sorrow.
Seeing their expressions, Wei Chen felt a surge of joy. He had thought they had already figured out how to take the Lost City away, but it turned out they were just as helpless! Well, that was good; this way, it could highlight the greatness of Wei Chen himself, right?
Wei Chen pretended to ask, "Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three, how did the Lost City come to the Endless Divine Realm in the first place?"
"It was transported here by a formation," Great-Uncle Three replied.
Wei Chen frowned and asked, "Can't we use a formation now to transport the Lost City into my True God World? Leaving the Lost City here is such a waste!"
"We wish we could," Great-Uncle Three explained. "But all the Formation Masters who came to the Endless Divine Realm back then are already dead. The Divine Realm of those Formation Masters wasn't very strong; after all, they had to focus on the formation, which weakened their Divine Realm. Because of that, their ability to endure loneliness wasn't strong either. All the Formation Masters died; they were among the first to perish."
Wei Chen continued to ask, "How did they all die?"
"They couldn't withstand the emptiness and loneliness. Seeing no hope for life made them feel worse than death, so they committed suicide. Normally, we wouldn't die, but if someone wants to die and chooses to commit suicide, no one can stop them," Uncle interjected.
"I see..." Wei Chen smiled slightly and looked deeply at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three before saying, "Seniors, what if I have a way? What if I can take the Lost City away? What if I can bring the Lost City into my True God World?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were shocked. They looked at Wei Chen as if he were a ghost. Just when they had started to feel some goodwill towards him, he was now boasting? But looking at Wei Chen's demeanor and personality, it didn't seem like he was joking!
"Big Brother, what's going on? What's this kid up to?"
"His 'what if' means he has a way, right?"
"It seems so; this kid is simply a god!"
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three exchanged secret glances, all in disbelief. They felt that Wei Chen was indeed at Sword Mountain, but they also believed that his various performances were not those of someone who was joking around or acting aimlessly.
Could it be that Wei Chen really had a way?
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three stared at Wei Chen as if they had seen a ghost. At this moment, they truly did not know what to do.
Wei Chen wore a broad smile as he looked at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three, who remained silent. He was waiting for them to take the initiative to ask him something; only then could he have the upper hand to negotiate terms and gain benefits.
If there were no benefits, why bother putting in so much effort?
Wei Chen had always been the type of person who wouldn’t get up early without profit; he genuinely disliked doing things that offered no advantage.
Killing God Senior knew that Wei Chen's skills in Formation Assignment and array techniques were exceptional. He was not surprised at all that Wei Chen could bring the Lost City out. It was precisely because he noticed Killing God Senior's calm demeanor that Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three felt even more convinced that Wei Chen must have a solution.
The atmosphere fell into silence. Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three finally realized that throughout this negotiation, they had always been at a disadvantage. Now, they were even more powerless.
"Big Brother, it seems that kid wants something; I just wonder how big his appetite is."
"Who knows? Let's wait and see. If he can bring the Lost City out, then no matter what price we pay, it will be worth it."
"Yes, aside from the Green Energy Stone, we can give him anything else."
"The Lost City has consumed countless efforts from us—not just ours but also the efforts of countless ancestors. The entire Lost City is a massive Formation System; as long as it's sealed off, even if all the experts from Bloodshed Shop come, they won't be able to do anything about it."
"If we can keep the Lost City safe, Wei Chen can make us call him Master if he wants."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were all in. The value of the Lost City was, in their eyes, greater than that of the Green Energy Stone. However, they had never considered the possibility of taking the entire Lost City out before.
In fact, if it were in the outside world, bringing the Lost City into their True God World would not be difficult at all. As a Twelfth Level Deity, even fitting a star into his True God World was not a challenge. But at the bottom of the Azure Green Pool, there were numerous restrictions left by that Supreme-Level Expert, making it impossible for them to do so. Because of these heavy restrictions, Wei Chen had previously dared not even imagine or hope to bring the Lost City into his True God World.
Now that Wei Chen had brought it up himself, it proved that he really had a way!
"That kid is not saying much; it seems he wants a lot of benefits. What should we do, big brother?"
"No matter how many benefits he wants, we have to give them, right? Even if all the treasures within the Lost City are combined, they wouldn't be worth as much as this seemingly dead city!"
After quietly discussing for a while, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three all turned their gazes toward Wei Chen.
Seeing Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three looking at him, Wei Chen understood that they had reached a negotiation result.
Perhaps it meant they were willing to pay any price?
Uncle said seriously, "Wei Chenyu, the value of the Lost City is as great to us as the Green Energy Stone. If you can truly take the Lost City away and keep it safe, we are willing to pay any price."
"Uncle, why so serious? I am neither greedy for wealth nor coveting your Green Energy Stone. You don't care about anything else, do you?" Wei Chen looked at Uncle and said lightly.
Uncle nodded and replied, "Wei Chenyu, just say it directly. What do you want or what do you want us to do?"
"It's actually very simple. I want you to serve me for one hundred thousand years. During these one hundred thousand years, you must reside in my True God World. When I encounter danger, you must come out to help. After one hundred thousand years, wherever you want to go will be your own business; I absolutely won't interfere. I will also reinforce the formations of the Lost City to make it stronger."
Wei Chen smiled slightly and looked at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three as he said, "To be honest, my mastery of formations is my strongest asset. You may still have some doubts now, but once I transfer the Lost City into my True God World later, you will understand."
Upon hearing this, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three all changed their expressions simultaneously.
Sure enough, Wei Chen wanted to be the boss.
Serving him for a hundred thousand years was a bit too long, wasn’t it?
Moreover, once those hundred thousand years were over, would Wei Chen keep his promise?
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three dared not take any risks.
Uncle said, "Wei Chenyu, we have two thoughts. First, a hundred thousand years is too long; we can only accept fifty thousand years. That is our limit, and we hope you won't make things difficult for us."
Uncle knew that he had no leverage in negotiating with Wei Chen at this moment, so he added that he hoped Wei Chen wouldn’t make things difficult for them. It was already a sign of weakness, a pitiful plea.
Wei Chen nodded and said, "Alright, fifty thousand years. I, Wei Chen, swear that after fifty thousand years, you will be free. If I go back on my word, the vast path will not spare me."
"Then good. Our other concern is whether you will deliberately lead us to our deaths during this time. Once we are dead, the Lost City will belong to you," Uncle raised his second worry.
Wei Chen shook his head and replied, "Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three, you can rest assured. Unless I encounter a life-and-death crisis myself, you won’t need to lift a finger. Of course, if we run into anyone from Bloodshed Shop and need to fight together, I trust you won’t hesitate either?"
After hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three had already agreed to Wei Chen's terms in their hearts.
