The voice of the Void Sovereign turned cold, and the expressions of the others began to grow icy as well.
At first, there were eighteen factions aware of the God-slaying Plan, but in the end, ten factions did not participate in the God-slaying Plan.
Although they did not participate, it doesn’t mean they were not paying attention to the God-slaying Plan.
Chen Changsheng could show off and issue orders in front of everyone because he could bring them benefits.
But that didn’t mean that the Little Immortal and the other six Forbidden Grounds were the ones who had the right to speak.
No one dared to covet what they had in hand, even the existence meant for the Forbidden Grounds.
……
The Little Immortal and the others retreated, leaving the desolate meteorite island.
No one knew who ambushed them on the way, nor did anyone know how the battle turned out.
All they knew was that after the battle ended, the Little Immortal and the Phoenix Emperor flew away, injured.
Moreover, as the Little Immortal was leaving, he loudly cursed the Nothingness Forbidden Ground.
“You big idiot, couldn’t you throw it a bit farther?”
“d*mn it!”
……
Abyss City.
Bai Ze and Chen Changsheng cautiously returned to their base.
After arriving home, both Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze let out a sigh of relief.
“Chen Changsheng, not leaving with them was the right choice.”
“Did you know so many people would beat them up?”
Facing Bai Ze’s question, Chen Changsheng calmly replied, “I assumed so, because this news was spread by me.”
Bai Ze: ???
A look of great confusion appeared on Bai Ze’s face; it seemed he could not comprehend Chen Changsheng’s actions.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng stated lightly, “The ten Forbidden Grounds that did not participate in the God-slaying Plan have always been very orderly and did not spread any news about it.”
“They probably intended to wait until the God-slaying Plan succeeded, and then the ten Forbidden Grounds would join forces to pressure us.”
“At that time, if they contributed a bit more money and said some soft words, they could easily gain the benefits of the God-slaying Plan.”
“What’s even more interesting is that it’s not just them thinking this way; the Little Immortal and the others think similarly.”
“After all, if the God-slaying Plan succeeded as they envisioned, the eight factions would likely be overwhelmed by that power.”
“But unfortunately, I don’t want to give them what they wish, so I spread the news of the God-slaying Plan.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze raised an eyebrow and asked, “Then what is the significance of your actions?”
“The more people know about the God-slaying Plan, the more dangerous it becomes for us.”
“When the God-slaying Plan succeeds, those six Forbidden Grounds will certainly continue to protect us.”
“We’re in danger, and those involved in the God-slaying Plan are also in danger.”
“Only immense danger can drive countless Forbidden Grounds to madness.”
“As the great war approaches, all Forbidden Grounds will begin to withdraw their powers, and many high-level cultivators will actively join the Forbidden Grounds for safety.”
“The entire Era’s high-end power will be absorbed by the Forbidden Grounds; what will we use to defend against the enemy then?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze thought for a moment and said, “Are you saying to incite conflict among the Forbidden Grounds using the God-slaying Plan?”
“Yes.”
“Everyone wants powerful treasures capable of destroying the heavens, whether for becoming stronger or self-protection; they will go to great lengths to obtain them.”
“Have you considered this question?”
“What if one day the enemy breaks in; wouldn’t they also want the God-slaying weapons?”
“If they can’t find me, their only way to obtain the God-slaying weapons would be to attack the Forbidden Grounds.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Ze couldn’t help but smile.
“I like your ruthless methods; however, aren’t the six Forbidden Grounds a bit thin?”
“It is a bit thin, so I have a backup plan.”
“Now that this situation has occurred, the Ancient Forbidden Ground will definitely not let anyone participate in the God-slaying Plan.”
“But the relationships among the Forbidden Grounds are intricate, and the interests are exceptionally deep.”

“The Ancient Forbidden Ground can’t just take everything for themselves, so in the end, they will definitely share some things.”
“They won’t give out truly strong God-slaying weapons, but they will still share things like the Flying kn*fe.”
“Otherwise, why would I give them the crafting methods for four unfinished products? The goal is to have them share it with other Forbidden Grounds.”
“With the character of the Forbidden Grounds being so opportunistic, sharing the crafting methods of unfinished products will allow them to make a killing.”
“With their newfound wealth, I can proceed smoothly with the God-slaying Plan.”
After he finished speaking, Bai Ze smiled even more joyfully.
“If we’re talking about ruthless, it must be you, Chen Changsheng.”
“The crafting methods for the unfinished products will be spread out, and the Forbidden Grounds have the power to refine them themselves.”
“This way, your idea of arming the entire Era will be completely realized.”
“The enemies in the future will also be eyeing the Flying kn*fe, a product of the God-slaying Plan.”
“Exactly,” Chen Changsheng smiled and nodded, “Arming the entire Era will take time; for now, we need to prepare our escape route.”
“You should go back and tell Ma Ling’er that the Qilin Project can begin.”
“Also, bring the Qiongqi Tomb over for me; I have use for it.”
“Alright!”
Bai Ze dashed off, disappearing in an instant.
After Bai Ze left, Chen Changsheng flew toward the distant Mine Vein Small Realm.
Taking such a wide detour to deal with Zhang Gu, besides the strategic importance of the Mine Vein Small Realm and some other benefits, what Chen Changsheng most wanted was the Heavenly Mandate on Zhang Gu.
It was rare for a small realm to be born with a Heavenly Mandate, or even nonexistent.
The occurrence of such a situation in the Mine Vein Small Realm must have some underlying mystery; perhaps he could learn something through it.
……
Mine Vein Small Realm.
Sensing Chen Changsheng’s aura, Zhang Gu, who was sitting cross-legged healing, slowly opened his eyes.
“Am I going to break the Heavenly Mandate now?”
“Not in a hurry; what I want to know more about is what secrets this Mine Vein Small Realm holds.”
“You never let anyone near the core area of this small realm; I’ve been quite curious.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Zhang Gu calmly said, “Since I’ve lost to you, I’ll take you to see for yourself.”
“However, you might be disappointed; this small realm doesn’t hold any secrets.”
As he spoke, Zhang Gu got up and led Chen Changsheng deeper into the small realm.
As they went deeper, the quality of the surrounding minerals gradually improved.
Eventually, Zhang Gu brought Chen Changsheng to the entrance of a cave.
Inside the cave stood an impressive Bronze Ancient Palace.
“Where did this come from?”
“I don’t know.”
“You’re the Heavenly Mandate Holder of this world; how could you not know?”
“I truly don’t know.”
“Since you don’t know anything, why wouldn’t you let anyone near here?”
“Of course, it’s because of the high-quality minerals here.”
“You’re the master of wealth; money and resources have never been an issue for you.”
“But I’m a loose cultivator; being able to find such a useful mine for the Immortal King Realm, I definitely have to treat it as a treasure.”
Chen Changsheng: “……”
He suddenly didn’t know how to describe him.
If you say he’s ordinary, he has ultimately reached the Eighth-Ranked Immortal King and stands at a high position in this world.
If you say he’s not ordinary, he has no demeanor of an Eighth-Ranked Immortal King at all.
What kind of Eighth-Ranked Immortal King guards a pile of minerals like treasures? It’s not some extraordinary celestial gold; is it really that valuable to you?
