When Luo Li's indignant exclamation rang out, the air in the space seemed to solidify suddenly. A powerful pressure then emanated forth, shaking the space.
”How dare you?” the most loyal subordinate of the West Heaven War Emperor, Lin Dong Elder, snapped. He was glaring at Luo Li, who had dared to offend the War Emperor.
Mu Chen frowned. As he stepped forward to protect Luo Li, he held a rune stone in his fist. As long as the stone was crushed, he could call upon Martial Ancestor's Spiritual Energy Clone.
Although this was the last card he had, Mu Chen was not going to be stingy with it. If the West Heaven War Emperor was really out to target them, he had no choice but to call upon Martial Ancestor.
The West Heaven War Emperor remained calm. He looked at Luo Li and asked, ”How have I gone too far?”
Even in the face of the War Emperor, Luo Li did not show any fear. She frowned and her voice was cold. ”War Emperor, there is no need for you to feign ignorance. The Baptism Strength of the Child of the Continent is extremely limited. According to the rules of the past, Lower and Upper Earthly Sovereigns should take three each, while the Complete Earthly Sovereign should take four. It is unreasonable that you did not mention the distribution at all, but instead asked us to collect it on our own.”
After hearing Luo Li's words, Mu Chen finally understood that the Baptism Strength of the Child of the Continent would have been directly distributed in the past in order for it to be fair. After all, the Complete Earthly Sovereign's power was far stronger than the other two's.
If it were all in the same place, the vast majority would obviously be snatched away by the former. In that case, according to Mu Chen's estimates, Lin Dong Elder might end up winning a full 60% or more of the Baptism Strength, while he and Luo Li could only share the remaining 40% or less.
The Strength of Continent dictated that the whole continent spiritual energy of heaven and earth would appear in small amounts after condensing for hundreds of years. Thus, even a small difference in that amount would make be significant. Apparently, although the War Emperor was forced to acknowledge both of them, as they had emerged as victors, he still placed obstacles in their paths.
After hearing what Luo Li had just said, the West Heaven War Emperor was still calm. He smiled and said, ”The rules of distribution are different in many places, as they are dependent on the Ruler of the Continent. Thus, I have the right to decide on the distribution method. Even if you invite the Flame Emperor to come here again, I can still justify my methods.”
He then added, ”Cultivation has always followed the law of the jungle, where the weak will be eliminated by the strong. If you can't fight for enough Baptism Strength, that's your problem. If you can't solve it, even if you are the Child of the Continent, you will not be able to set foot in the Heavenly Sovereign Stage.”
Hearing the War Emperor's speech, which was dignified in form but insincere in substance, Luo Li still wanted to argue with him, but was stopped by Mu Chen.
”War Emperor, although your actions are not gracious, there must be some sliver of truth to what you just said,” Mu Chen smiled and said.
Hearing Mu Chen's mocking words, the War Emperor raised his brows, then glanced strangely at Mu Chen and asked, ”So, you have no problem with the way I distribute?”
Mu Chen smiled and nodded, then said, ”There is no absolute fairness in this world, and only the brave advance along the road of the strong. If they have no ability and thus lose an opportunity, that is their own problem.”
Luo Li glanced at Mu Chen, and even though she was a little puzzled as to why Mu Chen was agreeing to be treated with such injustice, she kept quiet and did not interrupt him. After all, she trusted his judgment, even if she didn't always understand it.
Seeing Mu Chen's agreement, the West Heaven War Emperor's gaze flickered. In regards to Mu Chen, who was always unpredictable, even he would not underestimate him.
”Now that the War Emperor has decided on the method of distribution, I should ask again whether you intend to intervene directly if the final result is not what you had hoped for?” Mu Chen smiled.
The War Emperor frowned, displeasure coloring his face. ”What do you think?”
He now had enough reason to change the rules of distribution, so no one could say anything, even if the news spread. However, once he interfered with the result, it would spur the disdain of millions of people. That would be no small blow to his reputation!
Realizing this, Mu Chen nodded with a smile and said, ”If that is so, then I can rest assured. Can we start now?”
At the sight of Mu Chen showing no signs of concern, the West Heaven War Emperor's frown deepened. He wondered whether Mu Chen was pretending to be calm, or if he really had some cards up his sleeve. In any case, it is impossible for a Lower Earthly Sovereign to win against a Complete Earthly Sovereign like Lin Dong Elder, right?
With this thought, the War Emperor's face relaxed. He then glanced at Lin Dong Elder, who nodded indiscernibly.
