Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Fairy Tianchu left not because she was angry with Zhao Shuang, but because she was shy and embarrassed. After all, he really couldn't make decisions about having children, since her identity was no longer her own; she belonged to the power behind her, or rather, the world.

Therefore, she needs to ask for other people's opinions, rather than directly agreeing to this matter, which she neither would nor dare to do directly.

Zhao Shuang was not surprised by the departure of Fairy Tianchu, as it was something he had expected. What he needed to do now was to find that divine herb, which was of great importance, so he had to find it first.

The place where the divine medicine is located is called Mount Gods.

This is an important place on the Conferred God Platform, and also the place where the divine medicine is located.

For others, the cost and difficulty of going to such a place, as well as factors such as identity, status, and strength, are all very high, but for Zhao Shuang, there is no danger at all.

Although half of the teleportation array here had already been destroyed, Zhao Shuang could easily create a bunch of spatial teleportation lines whenever he wanted, as it was not difficult for him at all. So he easily created a spatial teleportation array and arrived at the Gods Mountain of the Conferred God Platform, as well as the most important place, the Conferred God Hall.

This place has layers upon layers of space. To enter it, one would need to be a master of space or possess extremely high spatial skills, but this is not a problem for Zhao Shuang at all.

So he was the first person to come here, or rather, the Holy King. After he arrived, the divine medicine that was bathing in the spring also emerged. When he saw the divine medicine, he frowned, but a smile appeared on his lips.

"I thought you hadn't broken through to the realm of gods yet, but I never imagined you'd been hiding this so well. Not only have you broken through to the realm of gods, but you've reached such a level. It's truly astonishing. I originally thought that with your abilities, you could only break through to the realm of gods at most, but I never expected you to have reached this level. It's truly surprising and unexpected. But this is good, so I can rest assured, and you can rest assured too. No wonder everyone has thought you were just a Great Sage of the Supreme Realm for so long."

"However, I'm very curious how you reached this level? Even if I imparted to you supreme cultivation techniques back then, it doesn't mean you could cultivate so quickly, actually reaching the God-Emperor realm. This is already considered one of the most top-tier existences in the world. Even that divine lotus would have had to pay a considerable price to reach this level. So why were you able to reach your current realm so quickly in such a short time? What exactly happened to you over the past 100,000 years? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to reach the God-Emperor realm. You reached the God-Emperor realm..." Doesn't reaching that level mean those gods are incredibly stupid and incompetent? Even you can reach the realm of a god! You must understand that reaching the level of a God-Emperor in one fell swoop means your future spans tens of millions of years. That's enough time for you to become one of the heavens. You might even become a Celestial Venerable. If you can become a Celestial Venerable, then there are very few beings in the entire universe who can compare to you. But your potential clearly isn't that great, so why did you reach this level? This is truly something I find incomprehensible; I originally thought you couldn't achieve it.”

"But since you have already reached such a level, why do you still pretend to be a Great Sage of the Supreme Realm? This is really strange."

Zhao Shuang's incessant chatter left the final elixir of life in the spring shaking its head in utter helplessness.

"You're still as long-winded as ever. Can't you just keep it simple? Can't you just ask me directly why I was able to cultivate to this level? The reason I was able to cultivate to this level is all because of the supreme techniques you taught me back then. If it weren't for you, plus the opportunities I obtained, I wouldn't have been able to reach where I am today. Of course, the most important thing is that I obtained a resource in this Conferred God Platform, an unparalleled resource. I never expected to find such an opportunity in this Conferred God Platform, and I'm afraid even you didn't expect it."

Zhao Shuang nodded at the divine medicine's words, because he had already guessed what kind of opportunity the divine medicine had obtained. This opportunity was unparalleled even for any god or human, and whoever obtained it would surely become a god-king, or even one of the heavens.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to tell me so much now. Just tell me what your plans are. Are you going to stay here or go somewhere else to cultivate? If you stay here, you probably can't hide your situation for long. If you go somewhere else to cultivate, it seems there's no more suitable place than the Myriad Flower Realm. And if you go there, you'll probably fall into the arms of those women. After all, you haven't been involved in anything between men and women before, which is definitely a huge temptation."

"If it weren't for your arrival, it would have been impossible for them to notice me. It was because of your arrival that I became noticed, and my identity was exposed. Now, my strength is impossible to hide. Before long, those guys will know that I have reached the realm of a God-Emperor. Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult for me to leave unscathed. Perhaps even the gods of the Underworld will be tempted by me. At that time, it will be completely impossible to escape unscathed. Therefore, I must make compensation. Of course, I know that you came here to obtain the spring water around me. I can give you all of it, but you need to agree to one condition. The condition is actually very simple: if I ever encounter mortal danger, you must help me resolve the crisis. If you do, I can give you all the spring water around here. After obtaining this spring water, you will have something to show for your relationship with that woman."

Zhao Shuang was startled by the divine medicine's words. He hadn't expected that the divine medicine already knew so much, which meant that the entire Conferred God Platform was now under his control.

"It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you have obtained the entire Conferred God Platform, or rather, you have gained control of it. Although you cannot completely control it, at least the events that occur within the Conferred God Platform can no longer be hidden from you. I must say, you have truly underestimated me. I never expected you to grow to this level; it's quite unexpected. However, even so, you must not be careless. You must be extra cautious. I can agree to your conditions; this one thing is nothing to me, but the condition is that I must regain my former strength. If I cannot even regain my former strength, then my agreement is utter nonsense and impossible to fulfill."

"So, even if you ate me, you couldn't make me restore your strength. Although I've reached the realm of a God-Emperor, restoring your strength is still impossible. After all, you were many times stronger than you are now, more than ten thousand times stronger than me. Under these circumstances, restoring your strength is simply a pipe dream, an impossible task. So, I hope you won't make such an excessive request, okay?" After saying this, the divine medicine transformed into human form, except that it was a man with long golden hair.

It's a bit like a Super Saiyan, but to Zhao Shuang there's no difference; it's just a divine medicine to him anyway.

"I know you can't do it, and I never even considered that you could help me regain my strength. I've never even thought about it. What you need to do now, besides giving me all this spring water, is to help me eliminate a group of people—the guys from the Heavenly Realm. You probably know my grudge against them better than I do, so what you need to do now is to keep them forever in this Conferred God Platform. This shouldn't be too difficult for you, and even if you wipe them all out, it won't cause too much of a stir. But if I wipe them all out, my cousin will definitely fight me to the death. So under these circumstances, I still can't wipe them all out, and I can only entrust this difficult task to you. You are also the only one here who can do this. I hope you won't refuse. I know that this will definitely attract the attention of the Heavenly Realm, but you don't need to worry too much. With me here, there won't be any problems. I can assure you of that."

"After all, I did manage to impart unparalleled skills to you and help you reach this level. So you can completely trust my credibility, please rest assured."

"I am naturally at ease with what you say, but I do not wish to offend the Heavenly Realm. I am well aware of how powerful the Heavenly Realm is. If I offend it, even though I have now become a God-Emperor, I still risk my demise. Therefore, I cannot agree to this condition, and I hope you can understand. If you only want me to eliminate a portion or a very few individuals, that would be fine. But if it's all of them, the Heavenly Realm will surely dismantle this Conferring God Platform. At that point, I won't be able to hide it anymore. Although I know that even if I wanted to hide it, I couldn't hide it for long, I will try to hide it for as long as I can. In short, I have no interest in the grudges between you, nor do I want to cause too much trouble. I hope you can understand."

"You really don't know how to repay kindness. I helped you a lot back then, helping you get to where you are now. Otherwise, you would still be just a supreme-level divine medicine. You are so ungrateful. I am really disappointed in you."

"Whatever you say doesn't matter, but I absolutely will not help you with this favor. I don't want to offend Sister Tiantang, because I won't fare well if I do. I can help you with some things, but only things within my ability. I absolutely cannot agree to things I can't do. I finally cultivated to the God-Emperor realm, and naturally I don't want to die like this. You should know that once I cultivate to the God-Emperor realm, my lifespan alone is tens of millions of years. How could I let such a powerful opportunity pass me by? So no matter what you say, I will not agree to it."

"You're utterly heartless, utterly ruthless! I never imagined you'd be such a 'miracle drug,' it's truly disappointing. But you're right, you've really had a tough time right now, finally reaching this level of cultivation. If you get caught by Heavenly Father, it'll definitely be a huge problem. But you should still help me kill a few people from the Heavenly Realm, that way I'll feel a bit better. After all, if I were to kill them all, the consequences would be dire. Those old fogies from the Heavenly Realm might even show themselves and come after me. I'm a bit wary of those old fogies, especially given my current situation, I'm even more apprehensive."

Zhao Shuang was settling for second best.

“If it were just about killing a few, I could do it without any problem. But I also hope that this is the last and only time, and that it will never happen again.”

"You've got quite a few conditions. But since you've put it that way, I can only agree. Anyway, after this, our relationship won't be much more complicated. I originally wanted to help you become one of the gods and get through the upcoming calamity, but I didn't expect you to refuse. It's really disappointing."

He used the power of temptation again, but this time his words did not sway the divine medicine. Instead, the divine medicine shook its head and said...

"Given my age, becoming one of the gods is only a matter of time. Therefore, there's no need for me to take such a huge risk to do so many things for you. I really don't want to bear such a risk. I also hope you can understand what I'm facing now. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, but if there's something I can't do, I hope you won't force me. It won't benefit either of us, and I'm sure you understand that."

"Fine? Then kill a hundred people from the Heavenly Realm. Once you've killed a hundred, our relationship will be over, and I won't bother you anymore. I won't trouble you again."

"I can't do that many. Twenty at most, twenty at most. Any more than that, and the Heavenly Realm will definitely come looking for trouble."

"You're such a coward, I never imagined you could be this cowardly. A hundred, a hundred."
