Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

Jiang Yining turned to look at Situ Kong.

"Situ, is your 'Heavenly Secrets Universe Array' finished?"

Situ Kong was taken aback, then understood, and a lewd smile, typical of a cunning merchant, appeared on his face.

"Ningning means..."

"Transmit that 'brilliant speech' from the inspector to every corner of the Floating Cloud Realm, without any blind spots, across all channels."

"Let all the cultivators in the world see what they really are in the eyes of the gods in the upper realm."

"You want us to be your prey?"

"Then I'll show this sickle just how tough and gritty these leeks from the Floating Cloud Realm really are!"

"in addition."

Jiang Yining added, her eyes gleaming with the light of gold coins.

"And add a line of text at the end of the photo stone."

"The Abyss undertakes all kinds of refuge services. Mahayana-stage bodyguards patrol around the clock. As long as the money is right, we can even cripple the Protoss."

"Limited space available, first come first served, so act fast!"

Situ Kong was stunned, and finally gave a thumbs up.

"Boss Jiang, when it comes to profiting from national disasters... no, when it comes to business acumen, you're the one!"

…………

It was noon in the Floating Cloud Realm.

The cultivators from various sects were carrying out their daily cultivation, alchemy, or bickering over a few spirit stones in an orderly manner.

However, at this very moment...

Without warning, it got dark.

It wasn't dark clouds obscuring the sun, but rather an enormous, semi-transparent canopy that abruptly enveloped the entire sky of the Floating Cloud Realm.

Whether it's the Central Plains Imperial City, the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, or even every corner of the far northern ice plains, you can clearly see the scene on the sky as long as you look up.

"What is this? A celestial phenomenon? Is a great treasure about to be born?"

"Look! Is that...is that the legendary celestial messenger?"

Countless cultivators looked up in shock, their eyes filled with awe and anticipation.

However, the next second.

The sound coming from the screen was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing everyone's illusions.

"Insects from the lower realms..."

"A barren pasture..."

"The interruption of offerings has affected your cultivation, sirs..."

The image was extremely clear, even showing the contempt and greed in the inspector's silver-flame eyes.

In particular, the line "the supply must be doubled next month," coupled with the horrifying scene in the Longevity Hall's alchemy room where ingredients were used as "medicinal catalysts," instantly ignited the entire cultivation world after being artistically processed by Situ Kong.

Panic spread like a plague.

"A ranch? Are we livestock on a ranch?"

"Is this so-called ascension a complete scam? Or is it just a death trap?"

"So, the beast tide was just them harvesting the spoils?!"

The leaders of various sects and the reclusive old monsters all turned pale and their Dao hearts trembled.

The path to ascension they pursued throughout their lives turned out to be a dead end leading to the slaughterhouse!

The pain of a broken faith is worse than killing them.

Just as the despair was about to reach its peak, the scene on the sky suddenly changed.

The once menacing and terrifying inspector has disappeared.

Instead, several large, gleaming golden characters, accompanied by a stirring battle song, appeared.

The music was composed by Erbao Chuanyan.

Do you want to live? Do you want to fight back? Do you want to protect your secret stash of money?

The Abyss Shelter is now fully open!

[A demon lord who once slew a Mahayana-stage demon beast serves as security here!]

[Here, you'll find lectures personally given by semi-saints of Confucianism and Taoism!]

[The Demon Emperor has top-level security here!]

[Only 998 spirit stones, less than 1000, bring home top-tier security!]

The Abyss is not just a refuge, but also your hope in your struggle against fate!

[Address: West of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, in the Desolate Abyss City.]

Sudden change in painting style.

One second it's the despair of the apocalypse, the next it's a hardcore product placement.

But this seemingly absurd announcement became the last straw for the drowning victims.

"Go to the Abyss! Only there can we survive!"

"With a Mahayana cultivator stationed there, it's definitely safe!"

"Quickly! Take the sect's treasury and set off immediately!"

For a moment, the entire Floating Cloud Realm was radiant with light and color.

Countless flying boats and magical artifacts, like a swarm of carp crossing a river, frantically converged towards the desolate abyss.

……

The main hall of the city lord's mansion in Desolate Abyss City.

Jiang Yining sat in a high position, holding a cup of spiritual tea in her hand, her posture elegant.

Before her was a huge water mirror, which displayed the densely packed army of cultivators swarming in from outside the Desolate Abyss City like locusts.

"Ningning, isn't this... a bit too much?"

Situ Kong broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the people still pouring in.

"There must be hundreds of thousands of people here, right? Can our Desolate Abyss hold them all?"

"There's always room if you try."

Jiang Yining calmly blew on the tea foam, "Different rents, different locations, it's easy to arrange."

"As for those sect leaders and patriarchs..."

A playful smile appeared on Jiang Yining's lips.

"Let them in, I have a 'big project' to discuss with them."

Soon, the first batch of "fat sheep" arrived.

Those were Lin Yunyuan, the leader of the Yuanzhou Alliance, and several senior elders from first-rate sects.

These people, who usually looked arrogant and haughty, were now all disheveled and looked flustered.

Upon entering the main hall, seeing Jiang Yining sitting at the head of the table, and the four male protagonists standing behind her like four evil gods, everyone felt a chill and unconsciously shrank back.

"Lord Jiang... Lord Jiang."

Lin Yunyuan steeled himself and stepped forward, cupping his hands in a respectful gesture, and asked, "What happened on the screen that day... is it true?"

"Does Alliance Leader Lin really think I'd go to such lengths to put on a show for you?"

Jiang Yining put down her teacup, the porcelain cup clinking against the table with a crisp sound.

"Since you're here, let's not waste any more time on small talk."

With a wave of her hand, Erbao Chu Anyan immediately came out with his short legs, carrying a thick stack of contracts.

"This is the 'Wilderness Joint Defense and Mutual Assistance Agreement'."

Erbao spoke in a childish voice, but his purple eyes gleamed with shrewd calculation.

"Package A: Pay 30% of the sect's total assets to obtain the right to reside in the outer city of the Desolate Abyss and enjoy the protection of the basic defensive formation."

"Package B: Pay 50% to enter the inner city, enjoy the Demon Lord's aura and protection, and have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from the Confucian Sage."

"Package C: Pay 80% to become a core ally of the Abyss. Not only will you have free room and board, but you will also have priority in the distribution of spoils in the future Protoss counterattack."

Upon hearing this price, the bigwigs present gasped in shock.

80% of assets?!

This is blatant robbery!

"Lord Jiang, isn't this a bit too much..."

An old man with a white beard was about to protest.

Clang!

A sword rang out.

Ye Wuhen drew his demonic blade half an inch from its sheath, and a terrifying killing intent instantly locked onto the old man.

"Too what?" Ye Wuhen grinned maliciously, licking his lips. "Too cheap?"

The old man froze, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.

"This is...this is such a great deal! I choose C! I choose C right now!"

"Those who understand the times are wise."

Jiang Yining nodded in satisfaction.

She stood up, walked to the front of everyone, and scanned the entire room with her gaze. Her aura was overwhelming, and she was in no way inferior to the several Nascent Soul stage experts behind her.

"Everyone, don't feel wronged."

"The resources you hand over will not go into my pocket, but will become a shield to protect you."

"Only by concentrating all our energy can we create an enemy that can withstand our strength."

"Otherwise, we'll just be picked off one by one."

Upon hearing this, everyone was convinced; indeed, neither side could resist on its own.

"The Protoss treat us like livestock, like leeks to be harvested."

"Then we need to let them know."

Jiang Yining clenched her fists tightly, her eyes burning with a frenzied fighting spirit.

"Even if we're just chives, we're the toughest, most poisonous, and most difficult to chew in this world!"

"Even if he's a god from heaven, I dare to drag him down and make him wallow in this mud!"
