Chapter 1428: The Space-Time Chaos Divine Demon's Proposal

Chapter 1428: The Proposal of the Temporal-Chaos Deity and Demon

A single divine herb of first-tier supreme deity level—nothing remarkable at all.

To Him, it was utterly insignificant.

Yet the Temporal-Chaos Deity and Demon, capable of providing an endless supply of Chaos Divine Treasures, held immense value in His eyes. Thus, He bestowed the herb upon the Demon without the slightest regret.

This was investment!

"Thank you, Majesty!"

The Temporal-Chaos Deity and Demon gazed at the herb clutched in His hands, radiating the aura of a supreme deity, his eyes blazing with ecstatic delight.

He could feel it—the herb resonated deeply with his own essence.

As the Majesty had said.

This herb not only aided in restoring his fundamental source, but significantly enhanced his comprehension of the laws of existence. Moreover, due to the shared and identical nature of their respective law attributes, consuming it would increase his chances of ascending to supreme deity status by roughly one percent.

Though this slight increase in promotion probability may seem insignificant,

it is extraordinarily precious to the Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deities.

Thinking this way,

His heart stirred with deeper gratitude toward the Emperor.

And his anticipation for the future grew ever stronger.

He had merely brought the Emperor his first Chaos Deity, and already received such a reward.

What then, when he brought forth more Chaos Deities in the future—what benefits would the Emperor bestow upon him?

Thinking this,

the Divine Essence of the Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deity trembled faintly, stirred with inner excitement.

Zhou Wu observed the reaction of the Temporal-Spatial Chaos Deity without the slightest concern.

His gaze fell upon the ten chaotic deities of chaos and demon.

"Have you all made up your minds to trade with Me?"

Zhou Wu asked.

"Yes, Most Exalted Lord, Fourth Reserve Rank."

The leading among the chaotic deities, radiating the law of fire, spoke first, then added, "Though we have already heard from the mouth of time and space, we still wish to confirm once more—can we truly obtain four master-tier divine artifacts by offering just one Chaos Divine Artifact?"

As soon as the words were spoken,

the other nine chaotic deities fixed their eyes upon Zhou Wu, as if trying to read the truth of his words in his very expression.

"It is natural,"

Zhou Wu nodded. "If you do not believe, I may first hand over the four master-tier divine artifacts to you. Then, once you have safely placed them, I will personally retrieve your Chaos Divine Artifact."

Upon hearing this, the nine chaotic deities were both awed by Zhou Wu's boldness and simultaneously felt a great deal of reassurance within their hearts.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't you be afraid that if we took the Master Artifact, we'd simply vanish without doing anything?"

Another Chaos God-Monster, following the Path of the Insect Rule, asked curiously.

"Take the artifact and do nothing?"

Zhou Wu grinned, revealing a set of white, perfectly aligned teeth, and spoke lightly, "Then even if you escape to the God-Monster Realm, even if your ancestral emperor of the Chaos God-Monster race stands behind you, I can still make you pay—do you believe me?"

Though he spoke these words with a smile, the Chaos God-Monsters present felt an icy dread welling up within them upon hearing them.

This Supreme Lord, Fourth Reserve, must not be provoked lightly!

They thought in their hearts.

"Sir, let us make the deal right away."

The Chaos God-Monster of the Fire Law quickly spoke up.

Zhou Wu nodded, and with a wave of his right hand, ten World Seals appeared before them.

"Look at them all."

Zhou Wu said.

Upon hearing this, the ten Chaos God Demons did not hesitate—they immediately plunged their divine senses into the core.

When they saw the four primary divine artifacts suited perfectly to their own law-based paths, their faces instantly lit up with joyful surprise.

"How is it?"

Zhou Wu asked.

"Lord, the primary artifacts you provided are exactly what I need. I am thoroughly satisfied with this transaction."

"Lord, I am also very pleased."

"Lord, why don't I just end my life right now—saving you the trouble of having to act."

...

These ten Chaos God Demigods all spoke in unison.

"Then let the Emperor handle it personally."

Zhou Wu shook his head, declining their offer of self-sacrifice.

Hearing this, the ten Chaos God Demigods had no choice but to abandon the idea.

Subsequently, they handed over their World Rings to the Time-Space Chaos God Demigod for safekeeping, agreeing to return them one by one upon their return to the God-Demigod Realm.

Then, they took turns approaching Zhou Wu, allowing him to personally eliminate each of them and extract their spoils.

A total of ten Chaos God Demigods, each at the level of Supreme God Demigod.

The first Chaos God Demigod, utilizing the master talent of "Massive Explosion," released forty Chaos God Treasures. The rest each yielded only four, totaling seventy-six Chaos God Treasures altogether.

Looking at the seventy-six Chaos God Treasures floating before him, Zhou Wu's lips curled slightly.

He already possessed one hundred Chaos God Treasures in his hands. Now, with these seventy-six additional ones, he now held a total of one hundred and seventy-six Chaos God Treasures.

Only 24 Chaos Divine Treasures away from the 200 needed to upgrade the territory.

"Tomorrow, the main body can finally upgrade the territory."

"After the territory is upgraded, the Jiaoyang Divine Nation can be promoted from a mid-tier to a high-tier nation."

Zhou Wu was immensely satisfied with today's harvest.

Then he turned his gaze toward the Temporal-Spatial Chaos Divine Demon.

"Can you bring more Chaos Divine Demons over tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, the Temporal-Spatial Chaos Divine Demon immediately broke into a bitter smile.

"Your Majesty, with my current capabilities, bringing ten Chaos Divine Demons at once is already my absolute limit."

"Any more would require me to ascend to the Supreme Godhood..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wu nodded slightly, showing no concern.

Ten Chaos God Demons shall be enough.

After all, the harvest of one day is already ample.

"Your Majesty, I have another method to increase the efficiency of obtaining Chaos God Treasures—only if Your Majesty is willing to sacrifice the Master Divine Artifact."

The Time-Chaos God Demon suddenly spoke.

"Go on, tell me. The Master Divine Artifact? I have no shortage of them."

Zhou Wu said.

Upon hearing this, the Time-Chaos God Demon could not help but exclaim in surprise, then added:

"As a Chaos God Demon, I naturally can only bring ten Chaos God Demons to trade with Your Majesty. However, I know several other Chaos God Demons who are equally skilled at escaping the realm of God Demons. Though their methods are not as refined as mine, at least they can be brought forth to assist. I will contact them and have them join me in bringing more Chaos God Treasures to Your Majesty."

"I estimate that, together with my friends, we could bring at least thirty Chaos God Demons willing to trade with Your Majesty each day."

"This matter, I shall entrust to you."

"Your friend may request anything, and I shall fulfill it, provided I have it."

Zhou Wu replied without hesitation.

Though he was nearly at the threshold of the Advanced Divine Realm,

who knew if beyond that there might exist even higher dominion tiers?

To be safe, and to accumulate resources for the advancement of his subordinates into the next realm, Zhou Zhou decided to make this deal.

After all, the decision to continue or end the transaction rested with him. If, upon reflection, he truly no longer needed more Chaotic Divine Treasures, he could simply terminate the agreement.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Temporal-Chaotic Divine Demon immediately bowed respectfully.

At that very moment,

several lines of messages suddenly appeared before Zhou Wu's eyes.

He looked ahead, and then a smile bloomed upon his face.
