Chapter 1468: Chapter 656: Antidote! World in Flux (Part 2)

“Okay.” Li Yuan no longer refused.

“Hmm.” Dong Mang God King smiled more broadly: “Taking on the role of the Emperor Palace Leader is also a form of tempering for you, likely to make you grow faster… Your main responsibilities are just twofold.”

Li Yuan listened attentively.

“The first is external, to command the God Kings of Jue Xing Emperor Palace and join forces with the other two great palaces and other major powers to ensure the interests of the Divine Court,” Dong Mang God King said. “On the Eternal Road, the inner self is important, but external treasures are equally important. However, exotic treasures and supreme treasures are limited… which means you can only fight for them with your life.”

“Hmm.” Li Yuan nodded.

External objects are very important, just like for himself; without the Space Star Emperor Fruit, the Green Rhythm True Dao Fruit, and the Five Realms Void Stone and other exotic treasures, he couldn’t have comprehended the Space Law so quickly.

Similarly, without the Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall and treasures like the Ancient Universe, he couldn’t have quickly formed the embryonic form of Path Breaking.

Something like the Source Seed, this kind of exotic treasure, is the result of his struggle.

One’s self is the foundation, but external resources are equally important.

“The second is internal, to ensure as much as possible that the God Kings of the Emperor Palace hold an advantageous position within the Divine Court,” Dong Mang God King said. “Fight for some benefits when needed, don’t be too modest… In this way, the other God Kings of the palace will be convinced by you.”

“Of course, the Heart Realm God King supports you, so there’s no need to feel too much pressure,” Dong Mang God King said with a smile.

“Understood.” Li Yuan nodded; many God Kings were looking forward to his growth, essentially hoping he would lead them to seize more benefits.

If he couldn’t achieve this.

Even if he ascended to become a Divine Emperor, what would that have to do with other God Kings? Human relationships are important, but so are interests.

“Of course, aside from responsibilities.”

“Serving as the Emperor Palace Leader also has many benefits,” Dong Mang God King smiled. “The most direct is the salary.”

“Every ten thousand years, there will be 200 square Eternal Crystals distributed once every million years,” Dong Mang God King said. “Once you formally take over, you can receive your first salary.”

“Receiving twenty thousand square Eternal Crystals each time?” Li Yuan nodded; that’s not a small amount.

After all, other God Kings have no salary at all.

In fact, Li Yuan’s wealth was already considerable, having gained from slaying several God Kings.

Adding the fifty thousand square Eternal Crystals compensated by the Purple Crow Universe, if he could get another twenty thousand square Eternal Crystals… he could exchange them for some of the most top-tier exotic treasures at the All Things Palace.

“The second is the special privileges,” Dong Mang God King said. “The Divine Court has established branches in numerous Eternal Relics, even in some special forces. As the current leader of the Emperor Palace, you will gain many privileges, which you will naturally come to know when you visit Immortal Heaven and Earth and other Eternal Relics in the future.”

“Special privileges?” Li Yuan immediately thought of his Honghe Order.

There are similarities.

“Third, your privileges within the Divine Court allow you to mobilize some God King Puppets left by your master, as well as have priority access to cultivation exotic treasures,” Dong Mang God King smiled knowingly and said, “These are small things. In short, you can mobilize all the public resources within the Divine Court… as long as it’s nothing too excessive, you can move them at will.”

Li Yuan immediately understood.

For instance, the Heavenly Divine troops of the Emperor Palace… if he were just a regular God King, it would be difficult to mobilize them, but if he were the Emperor Palace Leader, he could use any excuse.

Similarly, for collecting ordinary cultivation resources, the Emperor Palace Leader can gather on a large scale throughout the Divine Court… something regular God Kings can’t do.

“Alright, that’s all for now.”

“More details will be discussed once you officially take the role of Emperor Palace Leader. The Palace Spirit will explain them to you,” Dong Mang God King said as he looked at Li Yuan. “By the way, Junior Brother, you said you are confident in blocking Demon Cloud God King at Beichen Star. Is that true?”

“Yes.” Li Yuan nodded.

“That’s good.” Dong Mang God King nodded with satisfaction and immediately said, “I have already arranged with Golden River God King. In ten days, he will hand over the agreed one hundred thousand square Eternal Crystals to me, and then the fifty thousand square Eternal Crystals that belong to you will be transferred to your account.”

“Great.” Li Yuan had no objections.

…

Beichen Star, Star Sea.

On a star, countless star phantoms continuously descended and overlapped, billions of rays converged, lights pierced the sky, and all spirits cried out in unison as if seeking to grasp the secrets of heaven and earth.

“The Mystery of the World Dao.”

“The Operation of Grotto Heaven.”

“So this is it, this confusion, I finally unraveled it…” Li Yuan sat quietly in the center of the star, surrounded by drifting light rain and divine rays filling the sky, his aura vast, akin to the ancestor of immortals and the origin of all gods.

He was fully mobilizing the Galaxy Nine Heavens Array, augmenting himself, constantly deducing enlightenment, and exploring possibilities within his heart.

Since his battle with five God Kings, he had been cultivating here, only occasionally sparing some thoughts to communicate with other strong practitioners.

There was confirmation from the Emperor Array.

There was guidance from the Ten Thousand Saints Stone Wall, and with his own Inner Universe’s evolution constantly inspiring him… Li Yuan’s exploration of the World Dao had always been on the correct path and was progressing rapidly, only one step away from fully breaking through.

This is why Li Yuan was confident in the upcoming God King war, to battle Demon Cloud God King.

In the meantime.

He also spared some thoughts to continuously refine various God King Weapons and Storage Magical Treasures left by many God Kings.

The life marks left by the God King treasures were all very strong, even someone as strong as Li Yuan found it extremely difficult to quickly expel them and refine them anew.

As time passed.

Suddenly.

“Hmm?” A hint of surprise flashed across Li Yuan’s eyes. “Is this the Heavenly Witch Poison Antidote?”

Whoosh!

With a flip of his hand, a crystalline jade bottle appeared in Li Yuan’s palm, emitting a strange flowing light, fascinating to behold.

This was something Li Yuan had found after breaking into a Storage Magical Treasure left by Hong Jiu God King.
