Devouring the Stars: Rising from the Snow Eagle System

Chapter 236 The Intent to Kill

It would be a lie to say Zhou Lin wasn't nervous talking to the Ancestor of Flame Wind.

“Life is unpredictable, and the butterfly effect really did wake him up ahead of time.” Zhou Lin knew the ancestor’s nature well, and he had to remain calm and composed in order to make the other party think twice.

Sure enough, the Ancestor of Flame Wind was indeed making plans in his heart.

"He knows about low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals, Chaos Origin Crystals, and even their approximate prices. Could he really be a disciple trained by a powerful Chaos Origin expert?"

Ancestor Yanfeng's expression was uncertain, but in principle, a Hunyuan expert would not interfere in the struggle within the cage.

There are countless worlds, and quite a few God Emperors have been taken in as disciples by Hunyuan Life. Ancestor Yanfeng had heard of some of them, but no matter how ruthlessly they killed, their teacher would not intervene.

This is an unspoken rule: the primordial life form cannot intervene in the cause and effect within the cage.

Otherwise, if a high-level or world-class Chaos Origin intervenes, how can those beings within the cage fight? The lord absolutely forbids this situation from occurring.

Internal struggles are acceptable, but bullying the weak is unacceptable!
“God King Mengchuan, I would like to discuss this with the Earth God King in person.” Ancestor Yanfeng nodded and said, “He might not dislike the secret treasures of the early God Emperor stage.”

For a god-king, world-class primordial remains are still too mysterious.

When the Earth God King first obtained it, he was overjoyed, but now he only feels endless obscurity. He has not even reached the Ultimate Realm, so it is difficult for him to comprehend this remnant.

“Very well.” Zhou Lin quietly transmitted his voice to the Earth God King: “Ancestor Yanfeng wants to discuss the deal with you personally. Remember the bottom line I told you.”

Swish!
Still feeling uneasy, Zhou Lin sent a clone through time and space to the Eastern Extreme Region, where the Earth God King usually stayed.

With the Empress of Fengdu around, even the progenitor of the Eastern Extremity Region would keep an eye on him.

"Brother Meng Chuan, what brings you here?" the Earth God King asked in confusion. "I'm going to talk to Ancestor Yan Feng in my true form. If I go in my clone, he'll inevitably look down on me."

Snapped!
Zhou Lin threw the three top-tier treasures on the ground: "If you refine these three treasures, even the Flame Wind Ancestor won't be able to kill you on the Origin Continent."

With the blessing of a top-tier secret treasure, the Earth God King should theoretically be comparable to the Great Venerable Fu Yi, except that his will would be weaker than that of the Flame Wind Ancestor.

But that's easy to solve. Zhou Lin created a virtual world for the Earth God King, which can protect the soul and definitely withstand a single attack of will.

"this?!"

The Earth God King looked at the three supreme treasures on the ground and said in disbelief, "These treasures are probably not even comparable to the ultimate weapons of a God King, are they?"

Peak-level treasures and ultimate-level weapons are theoretically on the same level.

However, the ultimate treasures in the Realm Heart Continent are either crafted by invincible beings, each of whom possesses supreme secrets and treasures, thus providing greater enhancements when crafting weapons.

“You can keep them,” Zhou Lin replied quickly. “I only recently acquired these treasures myself.”

The two progenitors awakened too quickly, and Morosa has not yet reached the ultimate realm. Zhou Lin must improve his side's strength as much as possible in order to have a certain sense of security.

"I..." The Earth God King hesitated, his expression conflicted. He wanted the ultimate treasure, but also felt it was too precious.

Zhou Lin patted the Earth God King on the shoulder and laughed, "There's no need to be polite with me. The stronger you are, the stronger my Cangyuan Kingdom will be. Refine it and then go trade with the Flame Wind Ancestor."

Defenses can not do without.

If we really send an Emperor-level warrior to trade with the Primordial Ancestor, what difference is there between that and a lamb being led to the slaughter?
Zhou Lin also deeply felt his powerlessness.

The avatar from the Heavenly Pillar Realm hadn't yet sent news of victory, the "Eternal World" was still a long way off, and although he had grasped the basics of "Cause and Effect," it wasn't enough for him to unleash invincible combat power. The Earth God King no longer hesitated. He was a straightforward and generous person, and he was extremely grateful to Zhou Lin. He immediately swore an oath: "Your Majesty, you have entrusted your heart to me, and I will certainly not disappoint you. From now on, I will be the most loyal subject of the Cangyuan Kingdom."

For those who have attained enlightenment, vows are still very binding, especially for someone like the Earth God King, whose Dao heart does not allow him to break his promises.

For a filthy being like Di Yan, breaking an oath is as easy as drinking a glass of water.

Zhou Lin had a vague premonition that this transaction would definitely not be peaceful.

"But the more this is the case, the more excited I become. What's the point of a mundane cultivation life? Ancestor Yanfeng, I want to see what you will choose."

……

Inside the Cangyuan Kingdom's imperial palace, the Earth God King arrived. His body was equally imposing, even taller than the Flame Wind Ancestor.

"When you're talking, I shouldn't need to leave, right? Ancestor Yanfeng." Zhou Lin looked at Ancestor Yanfeng jokingly.

"That's not necessary."

Ancestor Yanfeng replied expressionlessly, "Earth God King, I am willing to pay a complete low-grade Chaos Origin corpse for the fragment you obtained."

He's used to being stingy and absolutely refuses to bring out anything good.

Perhaps it wasn't stinginess; the Ancestor of Flamewind had his own set of rules. He was even more stingy with his subordinate emperors. They went to great lengths to find world-class Hunyuan remains for him, and he would just give them some trash to get rid of them.

That value is incredibly high—millions? Tens of millions? More than a hundred million Chaos Origin Crystals!
However, the materials for ultimate-level life forms and the secret treasures of the early God Emperor stage that the Ancestor Yanfeng gave them totaled less than 20,000 Chaos Origin Crystals, and even the Emperors owed them a huge amount of wealth.

……

At the same moment, the avatar of the Flame Wind Ancestor in the outside world quietly made his move.

"Seek the cause and the effect, the fire of cause and effect, gather!" After the Ancestor Yanfeng and Zhou Lin established the basic cause and effect, their detection methods were completely different.

Flames burst forth from the flat ground, pointing in 10081 different directions, which also foreshadowed Zhou Lin's 10081 clones.

When the Ancestor of Flame Wind truly made his move, his so-called attempts to confuse the heavenly secrets and conceal his own karma were utterly futile. Even the Lord of the Mother River, a god-king at the second level of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, could not avoid it.

If the underlying cause and effect is not established, it's fine, but once it is, it can only be erased on the spot.

If Zhou Lin could cultivate the first volume of the "Cause and Effect" method to perfection, he would be able to discover the Yanfeng Ancestor's little tricks. Unfortunately, it is difficult to even enter the special-grade inheritance, let alone master it.

“Thunder, all his true forms are on the Origin Continent. Should we make a move?” Ancestor Yanfeng secretly transmitted his voice to Ancestor Thunder: “If you and I join forces, killing him will definitely not be a problem.”

"Have you thought it through, Yanfeng?"

The Thunder Ancestor confirmed again and again: "If we are to take action, we must instantly kill all his clones and resurrect his vessel. Offending such a genius will keep us up at night."

“Thunder knows the price of low-level Chaos Origin life forms, and will even argue for the sake of his God Kings.”

When the Ancestor Yanfeng said this, his killing intent was overwhelming: "With him on the Origin Continent, the future order will change, and future monarchs will no longer be cheap."

Then he added, "This is the Origin Continent. No matter how strong he is, as long as he doesn't break free of his confinement, what can he do to us?!"
