Humans are devouring, drawing cards from all realms, starting with Yang Jian.

The influence of betting is expanding at an alarming rate.

In just half a month in the original universe, more than three million immortal powerhouses have participated in the betting.

The total amount wagered has exceeded one trillion units.

The total wealth of a powerful king is generally only tens of millions or one hundred million Hunyuan units.

And this number is still growing at an alarming rate.

.......

Virtual universe, Thunder Island.

Inside the Qianwu Palace, the Qianwu King sat on his throne, with a huge light screen floating in front of him.

"There are quite a few people who are interested in Jiang Ming."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was somewhat excited, but his joy was naturally not about the ownership of these mixed-element units.

Rather, they are items of a higher level.

During this period, he found some Venerables who were more fond of gambling. Although none of them placed heavy bets, there were quite a few people who did, and the total amount of money was enough to excite even the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"After all, he's a monster hailed as the number one genius among humans in the universe, so it's normal for him to be interested in Jiang Ming."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom thought to himself.

Even someone like Berlan wouldn't have been able to attract so many bettors.

It's unlikely to even reach one-tenth of that scale.

Those immortals and venerable beings wouldn't care about the affairs of these little guys.

Only Jiang Ming, with his great reputation and astonishing deeds, could attract so many powerful figures to place their bets.

Time slowly passed as we waited.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed in the original universe.

Over the past month, the influence of betting odds has expanded wildly, like a snowball rolling downhill.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom personally contacted dozens of other cosmic rulers and set up gambling dens in their temples.

Most of these cosmic rulers have good personal relationships with the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, or they give the Qianwu Kingdom some face.

After all, although the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was poor, he was extremely senior among the Venerables and his strength was firmly among the high-level Venerables, making him a veteran powerhouse among the Venerables.

After the separate betting platforms were opened, the number of bettors began to grow exponentially.

As the gambling operation expanded, information about Jiang Ming began to circulate.

Jiang Ming's own odds are also constantly changing.

Initially, most people were not optimistic that Jiang Ming could pass the sixth level, and the odds for the sixth level were once as high as 1 to 20.

However, as news of Jiang Ming's cultivation in Chaos City continued to spread, especially after the news that he had gained the recognition of the eight fundamental laws was confirmed, the odds began to fluctuate wildly.

The odds for the fifth tier skyrocketed from 1 to 10 to 1 to 100.

The odds for the sixth tier have dropped from 1 to 20 to 1 to 1.5.

The odds for the seventh level have dropped from 1 to 50 to 1 to 3.

The odds for the eighth level have dropped from 1 to 100 to 1 to 8.

Even the odds for the ninth and tenth floors have begun to show a significant decline.

"The ratio of 1 to 100 has reached the fifth level. It seems they all believe that Jiang Ming can at least reach the sixth level."

"Of course! The eight fundamental laws acknowledge it, how could it not reach the sixth level? It's just that Jiang Ming chose the 'Cosmic Chaos Stele,' the most difficult Chaos Stele, otherwise the odds would be much higher."

"Look at the odds for the eighth level, they've dropped to 8 to 1! What does that mean? It means there's a lot of money betting on him passing the eighth level!"

"The eighth level... How could someone at the cosmic level possibly be there?"

"How is that impossible? That's a monster that has received the recognition of the Eight Fundamental Laws!"

"He's just admitting it, not that he's fully comprehended it. If he truly understood the eight fundamental laws, I'd bet 15% on him!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, just keep watching and you'll find out."

Similar debates are playing out in every corner of the virtual universe.

Jiang Ming, on the other hand, was completely unaware of this, despite having cowardly produced a masterpiece titled "Man Devours, Cards Draw from All Heavens, Starting with Yang Jian," available to read now.

……

Virtual universe, Yuxiang Mountain, primitive zone.

After passing the Genius Battle, Jiang Ming became a member of the Primal Secret Realm and owned his own manor in the Primal Zone of the Virtual Universe.

At this moment, the figure of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom suddenly appeared in the villa within the manor.

"Your Majesty."

Upon seeing the arrival of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, Jiang Ming rose from his seat and bowed.

"You're really patient. Do you even know how much money is in the trading room right now?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was unusually agitated.

Five trillion? Ten trillion?

Jiang Ming asked out of curiosity, admitting that he hadn't really paid much attention to it.

"Twenty-one trillion mixed units!"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this number, Jiang Ming was also taken aback.

Is this number very large?

The universe is vast. If the net worth of a King-level Immortal is calculated as one hundred million Chaos Units, then this is equivalent to more than two hundred thousand King-level Immortals.

The entire human race has only about 10 immortal kings.

Of course, the actual situation cannot be calculated like this. The gap between the kings is also huge. Some powerful kings have more wealth than ten thousand kings.

But this is still incredibly amazing.

"How can there be so many? Did the Venerable One place bets using the Primordial Chaos Unit?"

Jiang Ming asked curiously.

Mixed units don't hold much significance for Venerables, although they won't readily release large quantities of mixed units to prevent inflation.

"No, these were all left by the immortals."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head.

"Where did all this money come from? Have the immortals gone mad?"

Jiang Ming was genuinely startled at this moment.

How many immortals would have to squander their entire fortune and go all in to achieve that amount of money?

"It wasn't as exaggerated as I thought."

Seeing Jiang Ming's reaction, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom shook his head.

"It's because the powerful members of the Hongmeng Alliance have also joined in that the amount of money involved in this betting pool has become so large."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom guessed that Jiang Ming didn't know what the Hongmeng was, so he gave a brief introduction.

"The Hongmeng is an alliance led by our human race. Its organizational structure is relatively loose, but it has a large number of strong individuals. The strength of those small and medium-sized races is naturally far inferior to that of our human race."

"But when you add up hundreds of millions of small and medium-sized ethnic groups, the number becomes terrifying."

"Therefore, the number of powerful individuals in the entire Hong Alliance, excluding the very top ones, is almost dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of our human race."

Jiang Ming nodded in realization.

"Do you have someone in the Virtual Universe Company?"

Seeing that Jiang Ming understood, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom inquired.

Why do you say that?

Jiang Ming was puzzled.

"This betting operation has grown to a point where it's beyond my control, and I'm prepared to shut it down. We can't hide this from the higher-ups either, so we need to be careful."

But before I even closed the account, someone helped me transfer it to Hongmeng.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said with a complicated expression.

"The most crucial point is that this scheme has already seen such massive funding, yet I haven't received any instructions from any major power, including the company."

On the surface, their matter appears to be separate from Jiang Ming's, but this cannot be kept secret from the true high-ranking members of the human race.

But now that the funds have reached this level, it's no longer a small-scale operation.

In particular, the betting odds of the Venerables are even more terrifying in terms of the amount of money involved.

It had reached a level that even made him, a high-ranking Venerable, envious, and that was precisely why he couldn't remain calm.

There was no other way; I was truly terrified of being poor.
