Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1725 70/30 Profit Sharing
Deng Chanyu asked, as if she were just observing a spectacle, "How do you plan to impersonate the son of Mara? Do you have a specific plan?"

Hu Lei was trembling with fear, his body shaking like a quail.

The first thing Deng Chanyu said to him was, "For the sake of Brother Tongtian, I won't kill you, but you'd better behave yourself."

Hu Lei started trembling at that time and has continued to tremble ever since. The more he thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes. He is just one external stimulus away from being in a state of utter despair.

"What? I saved you from a certain death in a chaotic battle, and you don't have a single word to say? At least offer your thanks, right?"

Hu Lei had never met a sage, but he had met Duobao. He felt that Duobao was far less imposing than the female immortal in front of him. The two seemed to be worlds apart, almost like heaven and earth.

He didn't dare to look at their faces at all, and could only rely on his pitiful spiritual sense to perceive the difference between them.

Could this person be a saint? Or perhaps the goddess Nuwa?
Hu Lei's level of understanding and the level of contact he had reached were too low. Apart from the legendary saints, he really couldn't imagine anyone who could be stronger than Duo Bao.

“Your Majesty, please allow me to speak. I will tell you everything. It was my Uncle-Master Lü, no, it was that fellow Lü Yue, who said that as long as I enter the Heavenly Demon Palace, summon the old ministers, and raise the tablet of Mara, I can smoothly succeed to the throne.”

Deng Chanyu asked curiously, "Didn't you consider Tianfei Umo? This Umo planned the whole operation; she should have met the son of Mara, right?"

Hu Lei tried hard to recall what Lü Yue had said: "It seems I haven't seen it before, at least that's what Lü Yue said. I don't know anything else about the younger ones!"

Deng Chanyu did not use her fingers to calculate; at this moment, Duobao was in the middle of the situation, and it would be difficult for her to hide the secrets of heaven from Duobao.

Duobao knew he would try to trip her up, Deng Chanyu also knew that Duobao knew he would try to trip her up, and Duobao knew even more that Deng Chanyu knew he knew she was trying to trip him up.

These things cannot be said outright; a basic, unspoken understanding must be maintained.

Without needing to deduce anything, one can roughly deduce the situation from Hu Lei's words.

It's nothing more than Mara and Uma being destined to only have daughters. Mara, unwilling to accept this, found a mistress outside the marriage and secretly gave birth to a son. It's a very cliché plot.

Deng Chanyu asked, "It seems there's no problem impersonating this son of Mara. What's next? How does Duobao need you to cooperate with him?"

Hu Lei talks non-stop, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"Grandmaster's stated intention was for me to create internal strife within the Asura clan, while his true aim was for me to seize the spiritual materials from the Blood Sea to support his Blood Sea conquest."

Deng Chanyu nodded: "Your grandmaster has indeed been overwhelmed with all sorts of trivial matters lately. You took such a big risk to seize the spiritual materials from the Asura clan, so you should also get a share of the profits, right? How will you split the spoils?"

Hu Lei held up three fingers: "Three to seven, the younger one three, the grandmaster seven."

He glanced at Deng Chanyu's face and thought it resembled the Jade Emperor's, but dared not look at her too much: "I can refuse, give three to my master and seven to the Holy Mother."

Deng Chanyu was furious: "How can this be? How can you go back on your word? It's not like I'm after those worthless spiritual materials. It's still a 30/70 split: you get 30%, Duobao gets 70%, and the remaining 90% is mine."

"Huh? This?" Hu Lei was dumbfounded. You can play it like this? I've learned it!
"You can't just focus on Mara's treasure trove. To make the pie bigger, you have to mobilize all the war potential of the Asura clan."

"I'll teach you a trick. After you ascend to the throne, spread the word that your grandmaster is going to conquer the Blood Sea. Make it sound as serious as possible. Then... take those four new disciples of the Styx River. Call them all together and have them lead the donations, forcing the remaining Asuras to follow suit. Afterwards, return the spiritual materials of the four disciples to them, and you can divide the remaining Asuras' share proportionally." "Go, remember our agreement. I'll be watching you." Deng Chanyu waved her sleeve, and before Hu Lei could react, countless strange lights and colors flashed before his eyes. When he regained his sight, he found himself standing at the entrance of a magnificent hall.

Judging from its appearance, this palace looks very much like the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Palace described by Lü Yue.

Hu Lei clutched the memorial tablet of Mara tightly in his hands and walked in cautiously.

Deng Chanyu wasn't after the spiritual materials in the sea of ​​blood, but rather she had a mindset similar to "eating one cup of enemy food is equivalent to eating twenty cups of my own."

If we have more spiritual materials, Duobao will have less.

Small mistakes accumulate into big ones.

Conquering the Blood Sea is a matter of righteousness, and she cannot openly oppose it, but secretly taking some actions is feasible.

Perhaps Hongjun actually supports this action. If you can't even pass such a trivial test, how can you possibly become a Hunyuan Daluo?

Hu Lei's impersonation of Mara's son went smoothly. The old ministers pledged their loyalty before Mara's memorial tablet. The Heavenly Consort Uma was helpless about the current situation of the Asura clan. Her plan was to bring out Mara's son and then abandon herself to do nothing.

After Hu Lei ascended the throne, this Heavenly Consort left the Heavenly Demon Palace, and no one knew where she went.

Lu Yue came to him again afterward. Hu Lei wanted to tell the truth several times, but each time he felt an unbearable pain in his heart before he could speak.

Immortals who have achieved mastery of cultivation don't care about their hearts; they can even take them out and wash them when they have nothing to do. But Hu Lei is different. His cultivation level is too low. If his heart explodes, it's basically the same as dying.

I dare not say it, I dare not say it at all.

Following Deng Chanyu's method, he would frequently bring up the "Duobao threat theory," discussing it in the morning, at noon, and even in the evening.

Under the banner of Mara, many Asuras believed his lies and thought that the Blood Sea was at its most critical moment, so they all took out their last bit of resources to help in the battle.

The four new disciples of the Styx Ancestor generously donated money, making outstanding contributions to the unity of the Blood Sea.

Afterwards, "the money of the wealthy and powerful was returned in full, while the money of the common people was split 30/70." Hu Lei took 30%, Duobao 70%, and someone else 90%.
There are just too many things to prepare for war.

Seeing that Deng Chanyu's "military operations" had gone smoothly several times, Duobao was prepared to do the same thing again. Little did he know that things would be so complicated when it came to his own.

Following his instructions, Hu Lei would secretly transport the Asura clan's spiritual materials out from time to time, but he still felt it was a drop in the ocean, far too little! Much less than he had expected. Was the Asura clan really that poor? That shouldn't be the case!

Just as he was about to divide the burden of one person into three, Phoenix and Longji finished their discussion.

Didn't you want to lay off redundant staff? Okay, come on over! I'll set up a new department just for you, with all the office space and staff provided. You can start working right away.
