2,000 kilograms of Origin Stones? That’s a huge sum, Xue Ying lamented.

The Demonic God Wu Yun Huo continued, “You should already understand that if I wanted to send some treasures from our Dark Abyss to your Xia Clan’s World, it would be extremely difficult. Hence, sending 2,000 kilograms of Origin Stones as a present is a huge sum already.”

“I know. Usually, one would have to send it through the Shrine of Time and Space.” Xue Ying laughed.

The Deity World and Dark Abyss were too far away from the Material World.

Descending to this world was difficult. Like how the demons invaded this world previously, it was only due to some good fortune that a path between their worlds was formed. As for Deities or Demonic Gods who wanted to send resources down to the Material World… ‘failure in sending’ would cause them to pay a price much greater than that of successfully sending it.

Deities were neither able to descend into this world nor bring any treasures with their World Projections.

As a result—

They had to visit the Shrine of Time and Space. This was a legendary place that transported treasures back to the Xia Clan’s World with the assistance of members of the shrine who visit countless other worlds… Of course, a huge cost would be incurred in this transaction.

“Right, I would have to send it through the Shrine of Space and Time,” Wu Yun Huo said. “And so, you should be able to understand my sincerity from the price paid to send a present of 2,000 kilograms of Origin Stones.”

“I’m really puzzled.”

Xue Ying held onto his cup of wine as he continued, “This altar has already been destroyed to this extent by me. The Emissaries that you groomed with much effort are also dead. As for the remaining Chief Altar Leader and Elders, you are actually willing to send 2,000 kilograms of Origin Stones just to save their lives? Is it worth it?”

The silver-robed leader, who stood by the side carrying the flask of wine, furtively glanced at Xue Ying.

“No, they are definitely not worth it,” Wu Yun Huo explained. “But the network which I formed over countless years in the underground world of Tranquil Sun Province is certainly worth the price! The moment this altar is completely destroyed, your Xia Clan’s Dragon Mountain Manor will certainly investigate this main altar and hence find all the other altars, uprooting this underground network completely.”

“If these people die, then they die. It doesn’t matter as long as the underground network remains intact,” Wu Yun Huo answered. “They are the actual main contribution to the belief in my religion.”

“Is that so?”

Xue Ying exclaimed, “Your reasoning is truly beautiful, so much that I almost could not find any flaws in it.”

Wu Yun Huo’s expression had a slight change before he said with a grin, “You should already know that what I said is a fact. Having belief in my religion is most important! Why, do you think 2,000 kilograms of Origin Stones is too little? Aye, how about I send 3,000 kilograms of Origin Stones as a present then! If you were in the Dark Abyss, sending you 100,000 kilograms of Origin Stones wouldn’t be a problem. Yet you are in the Material World. If I want to send any treasures over, it is too difficult. After all, I am just an ordinary Demonic God, one of the many out there, so is there a need to make life difficult for me?”

“Trying to gain some pity points?” Xue Ying laughed. “Demonic God, you are really cunning.”

“Do you agree to this negotiation?” Wu Yun Huo began feeling nervous deep in his heart.

“I apologise. I do not agree.” Xue Ying shook his head.

Wu Yun Huo’s amber eyes were faintly filled with fury. He was truly angry now. Damn this human Transcendent! With his power… he could completely and easily stomp on this little bug! Yet currently, his True Deity body was in the Dark Abyss. This World Projection of his was being suppressed by the Xia Clan’s Will of the World to the limits of mortal strength, preventing him from threatening the Transcendent in front of his eyes.

“Why do you not agree?” Wu Yun Huo asked anxiously.

“Because of your Chief Altar Leader.” Xue Ying smiled. “I must thank him.”

“Him?” Wu Yun Huo turned towards that silver-robed leader by his side.

The silver-robed leader was also astonished.

“Yes.”

Xue Ying nodded. “Respectable Sir Demon God, it was only because of your arrival that I knew this was an altar of a Demonic God! According to my knowledge after reading many books, I know that under ordinary circumstances, when a Xia Clan Transcendent attacks the altar of a Demonic God, those protecting the altar would escape in all four different directions instead of defending it.”

“As for this Chief Altar Leader, instead of escaping, he actually set down the order to kill me at all costs!” Xue Ying exclaimed. “It’s very puzzling then. I am a Transcendent of the Xia Clan and can request for any of the Demigods of the Xia Clan to come and aid me. The possibility of killing me is extremely low! Yet he still wanted to battle to the death.”

“Sir Demon God, say, is this puzzling or not?” Xue Ying looked towards Wu Yun Huo. “Furthermore, you even descended during the critical moment. Out of all of your altars within the 19 provinces, the extermination of a single altar … is something you can definitely let go of. According to what I know, even if the main altar is being attacked, there are very few cases where Deities would send their World Projections down.”
