If you keep in touch, go and exchange some more God Beans.
Mingzhu gave an awkward smile, inwardly furious. If anyone else dared to speak of the Great God Yuzhu like that in front of him, he would certainly put on an indignant act, but facing Xiao Wenbing...
He shook his head, dismissing some unrealistic ideas from his mind.
Carefully placing the five primordial crystals into her mustard seed space, Mingzhu winked at Kairis, apologized, and entered a strange building.
Xiao Wenbing casually asked, "What place is that?"
Kairis glanced around and said softly, "Since this place is a gathering place for divine messengers, then naturally there needs to be a special place to communicate with the gods."
Xiao Wenbing nodded and continued to search the large rock with his divine sense.
"Wenbing, didn't you say you weren't planning to use the Origin Crystal here?" The Mirror God popped into his mind and asked curiously.
"The situation has changed."
"I don't see any changes."
"Of course you can't see it," Xiao Wenbing said dismissively. "You're incapable of understanding people's hearts."
Upon hearing this, the Mirror God flew into a rage and said, "You think I don't understand? Don't come looking for me again if you need anything."
Xiao Wenbing immediately backed down. Although the Mirror God only ever threatened him, Xiao Wenbing really couldn't live without it. So he said, "Mirror God, there are many things in here, and most importantly, there are things that Bai Yi and Ya Qi both like."
"So what?"
Xiao Wenbing gave it a resentful look and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's the first time they've shown interest in something in front of me, so I'm just planning to buy it for them."
The Mirror God looked puzzled and said, "Since they're interested, why don't you just let them buy it themselves? Why are you worrying about it?"
Xiao Wenbing rolled his eyes, choked on his breath, and almost couldn't breathe.
“Mirror God, I’ve finally learned something.”
"What's up?"
“You’re so old, yet you’re still all alone, and you were even driven away by your old master. Do you know why?”
The Mirror God trembled slightly. Being banished to the mortal realm by its old master had always been a deep pain in its heart, and it immediately asked, "Why?"
"Because you don't understand romance."
The Mirror God was greatly puzzled, but it couldn't understand what necessary and direct connection existed between this person's lack of romantic understanding, his loneliness, and being driven away by his old master.
While the Mirror God was pondering the reason behind a single sentence, the culprit, Xiao Wenbing, was not idle either.
Zhang Yaqi and Feng Baiyi exchanged a glance, and Zhang Yaqi asked telepathically, "Wenbing, why did you hand over the Origin Crystal?"
Xiao Wenbing sighed inwardly, never expecting that a few mere Origin Crystals would actually cause him so much trouble.
"Yaqi, do you still remember the strategy we discussed back then?"
"Of course I remember, but aren't you being a little too hasty?"
"It's alright," Xiao Wenbing said nonchalantly. "Just consider it an investment made in advance. I'm sure we won't lose money."
Zhang and Feng frowned slightly, but since Xiao Wenbing had already made his decision, they no longer questioned it.
In fact, after they reached the Great Immortal realm, they had already discussed how to deal with the group of gods behind the Skeleton Supreme.
Judging from their current strength, they are indeed unable to engage in a head-on battle with the gods.
For an immortal to challenge a deity is like an egg hitting a rock—it's courting death.
Therefore, the first thing they need to do is not to avenge the Flame Realm, but to preserve their own strength intact.
With tens of thousands of immortals at the Ten Tribulations stage, plus the Origin Crystal in Xiao Wenbing's hands, given enough time, at most a hundred years, they could create more than ten thousand Supreme Gods.
Only then will they have the power to seek justice for the Flame Realm. Until then, they should just keep a low profile and behave themselves.
The Supreme Immortal's strength might be enough to dominate a region in the Immortal Realm, but in the God Realm, he would be nothing.
Kairis and Mingzhu, among others, had helped them plot against the Skeleton Supreme, which means that their side was no weaker than the Skeleton Supreme's backers.
Whether now or in the future, we always need to find some allies.
Therefore, Keris and the others became their primary targets. The battle with the Seven-Colored Wing King and his group was merely a pretext for getting closer. Even if she didn't ask why they had been able to comprehend the power of origin so quickly, Xiao Wenbing would still find an opportunity to offer the bait of the origin crystal.
However, the other party's performance was very compatible with his own, so the final cooperation was a natural outcome.
Book 22, Chapter 32: Theology
------------------------
In the small but bright and magnificent room, there was a large table that occupied the entire space.
At this moment, Mingzhu stood respectfully to the side. On the table, five crystal-clear primordial crystals were placed side by side. The crystals shimmered with strange and mysterious light, making everyone who knew the secrets of crystals feel a fervent anticipation welling up from the bottom of their hearts.
"Go down."
A soft, understated yet irresistible sound echoed in the room.
Mingzhu responded respectfully and stepped out. He hesitated for a moment just before stepping out of the room, but only for a second before he stepped out.
After leaving the room, Mingzhu looked in Xiao Wenbing's direction with a bitter smile, her eyes filled with shame and confusion.
He had already offered all five Origin Crystals to the Great God Yuzhu, but to his surprise, the Great God Yuzhu did not give him any reply, and did not even grant his request on behalf of Xiao Wenbing to purchase items from this world.
He shook his head in frustration, unable to understand why the usually generous Yu Zhu had become so indecisive about this matter.
However, as the spokesperson for the great Yuzhu, Mingzhu dared not complain in the slightest, but was just worried about how to explain it to Xiao Wenbing.
Five primordial crystals! Even if he sold them, he couldn't pay back that debt...
Just as he was looking back and forth, hesitating and undecided, a divine thought seemed to enter his heart directly from the horizon.
"Promise him that whatever he wants, give it to him."
Mingzhu's body trembled slightly as she recognized Yu Zhu's divine sense. Overjoyed, she felt as if her legs had become lighter, and she quickly moved towards Xiao Wenbing's direction.
Several powerful and majestic divine thoughts silently converged within the room.
If outsiders were to sense the origins of these various forces, they would be so shocked they wouldn't believe their own feelings.
Although there are millions of gods who created this world, fewer than a thousand of them truly hold a dominant position. These individuals are all true powerhouses who, through their own efforts and good fortune, comprehend divine power and attain the status of supreme gods.
Compared to the higher and lower gods, they possess far greater divine power, and they are the only ones who can truly rule the divine realm.
Of course, this happened after the first generation of gods had disappeared. If those legendary first generation gods with infinite power were still in the divine realm, they wouldn't have had the chance to rule as kings.
At this moment, the presence of more than ten people could be felt in this insignificant little house.
If their power were combined, it would be enough to cause a huge uproar in the realm of gods.
"Yu Zhu, are you sure these primordial crystals all came from the first generation of gods?" A rough voice rang out. If it weren't for the several restrictions placed in this small house, everyone would have known long ago.
The voice of the Great God Yuzhu was ethereal and weak, yet no deity dared to show it any dissatisfaction or contempt: "Zhu Fang, the Origin Crystal has been missing for billions of years."
"With just these few primordial crystals, can we really prove that he is related to those vanished first gods?" Another voice joined the conversation, and an equally powerful aura spread throughout the room.
"I believe everyone understands what the Primal Crystal represents to us gods." After a long silence, Yu Zhu finally spoke up: "Regardless of the power behind this little immortal Xiao Wenbing, I am unwilling to offend him easily. Or perhaps you would like to give it a try?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into a suffocating silence.
Fortunately, Mingzhu had already been ordered to leave, otherwise even as a supreme being of the Refining God realm, he would not have been able to remain calm in the face of the confrontation between more than ten supreme gods.
The eerie voice seemed to come from underground, sending chills down one's spine: "How should these primordial crystals be distributed?"
More than ten calm auras suddenly became active, as if everyone had forgotten the heavy topic from before, and joined in the discussion about the distribution of these few primordial crystals.
There are only five Origin Crystals, and even with the one Mingzhu offered last time, there are only six in total. However, there are more than ten deities here, so it is impossible to obtain an answer that satisfies everyone.
While arguing his case, Zhu Fang sighed, "Alas, there's too little stuff. I really don't know if that Xiao Wenbing has any more stock he hasn't brought out yet."
The arguing suddenly stopped, and an eerie atmosphere filled the room once again.
They didn't know who was behind Xiao Wenbing, but wealth is a powerful motivator, and the allure of the Origin Crystal was immense for these deities. There were truly very few who could completely control their greed.
Silently, a deity suddenly lowered his voice, as if suppressing something or avoiding it, and whispered, "Do you think that if we join forces, we can contend with a first-generation deity?"
After a long, long time, still
To answer this question.
"No." The voice of the great god Yuzhu suddenly rang out in the silent room: "Alas, do not provoke the first god, never. If anyone violates this agreement, I will not hesitate to let him receive the punishment he deserves."
"agree……"
"agree……"
A chorus of approvals rang out among the gods, with most maintaining their usual cautious attitude.
The first god to propose the idea immediately fell silent. He never imagined that his companions would be so afraid of the first generation of gods who had been missing for who knows how long and had gradually been forgotten.
However, those who can cultivate to the level of a god are naturally not foolish, and he would never confront his companions at this moment.
Seemingly sensing the oppressive atmosphere in the room, Yu Zhu softened her tone and said, "Great God, you have not been a god for long and have not seen the first generation of gods, so you do not know how terrifying they are."
He fell silent for a long time, then his voice came again: "Is there no way for us to deal with the first gods, and are we destined to live in their shadow forever?"
“No one wants to live in the shadow of someone else.” Zhu Fang, who usually has the most fiery temper, spoke in a surprisingly gentle voice: “But I would rather choose this kind of life than complete destruction.”
"Great God Zhu Fang, please don't forget that we have already cultivated into gods, mastered the source of divine power, and are immortal beings. No one can completely destroy us."
"Really?" As if he had heard the most hilarious joke in the world, Zhu Fang's voice carried a hint of absurdity rarely seen in a thousand years: "Oh my god, you are really too young."
A fierce rage was ignited at that moment, and his aura suddenly became much stronger.
Seemingly unwilling to be left out, the next moment, five equally powerful auras were gradually increasing their strength.
However, in stark contrast to them was Zhu Fang, whose aura remained at the same intensity as before, without any fluctuations, as if he didn't take those opponents seriously at all.
The people in the room were clearly divided into two factions: the new generation of supreme gods, led by Yu, who, although they had been gods for hundreds of millions of years, had never seen the first generation of gods since the day they became gods.
While they maintained a certain respect for these predecessors whom they only knew by name and never saw, they did not etch these names into the depths of their souls. Therefore, when they possessed power at their peak, they would seek even greater power and influence.
However, the old supreme gods, led by Yu Zhu and Zhu Fang, had already arrived in the divine realm before the first generation of gods disappeared.
They had truly witnessed those figures who were legendary even to these gods.
