Chen Changsheng’s words left all six forbidden grounds silent.
After a long while, Old Man Mao casually spoke up, “You need resources; we will send them over in due time.”
“But I hope that when the time comes, you can truly deliver what we want.”
“The stakes are so high; don’t find yourself unable to handle it when the time comes.”
With that said, the representatives of the six forbidden grounds vanished from sight.
Once the six figures had disappeared, Bai Ze sneaked out from the side.
“Chen Changsheng, your knack for making money is truly exceptional.”
“You easily raked in trillions; I estimate you made at least ten trillion this time.”
“Having swindled such a large sum, the forbidden grounds won’t let you off easily. When do we make our move?”
Seeing Bai Ze’s excited expression, Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “Little Black, you might be mistaken this time.”
“I never planned on running away; I will carry out the God-slaying Plan to the end.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze was stunned.
“No way, are you out of your mind?”
“Don’t you fear they will turn around and k*ll you after developing the God-slaying Plan for them?”
“Remember, all the forbidden grounds view you as a thorn in their side.”
“If they ever gain something capable of destroying the world, do you think they would spare you?”
Facing Bai Ze’s words, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and said, “Even without the God-slaying Plan, they would still k*ll me.”
“The appearance of the Abyss Realm has already threatened their interests.”
“They haven’t killed me yet because they wish to profit greatly from me.”
“Once they have enough, they will not hesitate to k*ll me.”
“Now that you know, why are you still helping them make money?”
Bai Ze’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng looked towards the distant mineral vein small realm and said, “Because I need them now.”
“The existence of the forbidden grounds is ancient. Only by leveraging their power can I control the entire era.”
“The Abyss Realm has been established for some time, but despite its fame, no Heavenly Mandate Holders have appeared, which is unnatural.”
“Just now, I learned from them that the main factions in this realm are roughly divided into ‘Three Mountains, One Sea, Forty-Two Realms.'”
“The Four Directions Continent is one of these forty-two realms, meaning there are at least forty powerful Heavenly Mandate Holders in our era.”
“But these people haven’t shown up, indicating they are tied up elsewhere.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze grew serious.
“Are you saying the frontlines are very tense?”
“Pretty much.”
“Wu Li has sealed off information, so I don’t know the true situation at the frontline.”
“However, judging from the various forbidden grounds and major forces, the situation isn’t optimistic.”
“Everyone wants resources, but these top-tier forces aren’t as greedy as we thought.”
“But now, they are desperately making money, even sacrificing their most cherished dignity.”
“This situation can only mean they are amassing strength, preparing for a huge impact.”
Chen Changsheng’s words left Bai Ze speechless.
After a long silence, Bai Ze spoke up, “Then what are your plans?”
“I plan to arm the entire era, turning everyone into madmen.”
“Though reluctant to admit it, given the circumstances, we must face reality.”
“Assuming Wu Li and Little Immortal fail, our era will face catastrophic changes.”
…
Time passed bit by bit.
A large number of new magic treasures were developed, and the plundering of small worlds around the Abyss City intensified.
Countless cultivators frenziedly dug the soil of small worlds.
As the foundation weakened, signs of collapse began to appear in small worlds.
Seeing this, the natives of the small worlds and the digging cultivators erupted into a massive battle.
Unexpectedly, under no top-tier cultivators’ intervention, the natives easily defeated many scattered cultivators.
Initially thinking this was a phase victory, no one anticipated that the scattered cultivators would band together and issue a mission.
For four hundred billion, they wanted to buy the life of a cultivator in a small world.
Just as many forbidden grounds were contemplating whether to take on this mission, an obscure assassin organization accepted it.
Three days!
It took just three days!
The assassin organization known as “bl**d Blade” delivered a head of a Sixth-Rank Immortal King to complete the task.
In an instant, major forbidden grounds imposed a blockade on “bl**d Blade.”
Because “bl**d Blade” had disrupted the forbidden grounds’ share.
Unfortunately, “bl**d Blade” set up their headquarters in the Abyss City.
With Chen Changsheng mediating, the major forbidden grounds did not eliminate “bl**d Blade.”
Since then, the price of bounty hunting plummeted.
This action also opened Pandora’s box, allowing killings to spread outward from the Abyss World.
…
A century into the project.
An array formation project costing nearly a trillion was finally completed.
When the array formation activated, a radius of billions of miles around the Abyss City felt the pull of spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, the spiritual energy in the surrounding thirty-odd small worlds dropped by thirty percent.
At the same time, representatives from sixteen forbidden grounds gathered in the Hundred Herb Garden to witness this historic moment.
“Tsk tsk!”
“Such a wondrous place, and you really managed to build it. Impressive.”
Feeling the rich spiritual energy in the Hundred Herb Garden, Old Man Mao couldn’t help but praise.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng casually threw down a seed of ordinary spiritual medicine.
As the seed touched the soil, it sprouted visibly.
After careful observation, Chen Changsheng said, “From current results, the Hundred Herb Garden can increase the growth rate of ordinary spiritual medicines by about ten times.”
“Some special spiritual medicines require special cultivation; their growth rates are currently unknown.”
“As per our previous agreement, the number of medicinal fields allocated to each party has been determined.”
“Ten percent of each party’s medicinal fields will be under their control, the rest I will manage.”
