What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

"No, no, no!"

"This little mouse is awake!"

With a start, the mouse lifted its two short legs and did a somersault with its round body, landing steadily with a "thud".

The mouse that was awakened at lightning speed

Now he's not nervous at all.

Because the mouse suddenly understood a principle.

When the gap between two people's levels of understanding becomes large enough, being nervous is completely useless.

However, to Xu Tianlin's surprise...

The mouse stared at the golden chip card that exuded the aura of the Great Dao. Its nose twitched wildly several times, and the longing in its eyes was so intense that it almost turned into two little hands. It hugged the chip card to its chest.

The next moment.

The mouse actually stretched out its paw and gently pushed the chip card containing five perfect-level Great Dao Laws back in front of Xu Tianlin.

"senior."

The way the mouse is addressed has very smoothly evolved from "little brother" to "senior".

"I'm sorry, but I still refuse this deal."

After saying that, the mouse's expression instantly turned tragic.

The furry rat's face was etched with horror.

Unsure whether it would anger the terrifyingly powerful young man before it, it immediately spoke before Xu Tianlin could react.

He speaks extremely fast.

"If you decide to take action, I know that resisting will be futile."

"But please listen to what I have to say next."

Xu Tianlin raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that this mouse in front of him could resist the temptation of five perfect-level Great Dao Laws.

This is something that not everyone can do.

Moreover, this was after he had already demonstrated his strength, and the other party still rejected him.

Xu Tianlin's curiosity was piqued by the mouse.

To use the phrase from a domineering CEO drama—

Mouse, you've successfully caught my attention.

Xu Tianlin sat back in his boss's chair, picked up his teacup, and gestured for Shushu to continue.

Seeing that Xu Tianlin did not fly into a rage and attack because he refused to trade, Shushu breathed a sigh of relief.

"senior."

"As the Kunjin Rat clan, the oldest of all races, I must first correct a misconception of yours."

The mouse rummaged around in its belly for quite a while.

A moment later, the mouse took out a stone that emitted a faint misty aura.

It is the misty mountains and rocks of the Xuanteng tribe.

"The ancient primordial species your dog mentioned doesn't actually refer to these treasures of all races."

"It refers to races that possess ancient primordial artifacts."

The mouse gently patted the cloud-shrouded rocks in its hand.

"Just like this misty mountain rock, it is an ancient artifact of the Xuan Teng clan."

Therefore, the Xuan Teng tribe is one of the ancient primitive races.

As she spoke, Shushu looked in the direction behind Xu Tianlin and paused for a moment.

"The blood elf behind you is the same."

"The ancient artifact of the Blood Elf race is the Burning Tree."

"Is that so..."

Xu Tianlin pinched his chin.

"and then?"

"Then……"

The mouse sighed, its gaze becoming weary.

The image of a furry, round mouse with a slightly cheeky tone, bearing that sense of vicissitude, is actually a bit incongruous.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the abyss had not yet appeared."

"The myriad races that you humans call alien races actually live on this continent just like you humans."

"There are conflicts, grudges, and interests among different ethnic groups, but most of the time, they keep to themselves."

The mouse looked down at its paws.

The claws curled slightly.

This golden rat witnessed firsthand how that once vast, bustling world, where countless races coexisted, was swallowed up by darkness one day.

"From the abyss descended, the Demon Emperor was born, and seventy-two Demon Kings descended."

"The terrifying laws of the abyss spread out."

"Those laws are like unseen tides, surging from the cracks in the earth, pressing down from the ends of the sky, and growing from the depths of the blood."

"The first to be affected will be all races."

The mouse's voice was very soft.

But the hall was unusually quiet; even the sound of Xu Tianlin tapping his teacup with his fingers had stopped.

"However, the power of the abyss is too terrifying."

"All races were defeated."

"Ancient primordial seeds that possess ancient primordial artifacts can barely resist the erosion of the laws of the abyss."

"But what about the other myriad races..."

The mouse closed its eyes.

"They have been reduced to tools of the abyss, devoid of reason, knowing only how to kill."

"The ancient primordial races were driven to the place where the battlefield of ten thousand races is now located, where they barely survive."

At this point, the mouse became quite dejected.

Its once perky little ears drooped down, and its tail lay listlessly on the ground.

That kind of melancholy wasn't feigned; it looked like a weariness that had been etched into his bones by the passage of time.

Looking at the rat's appearance, Xu Tianlin thought to himself that this was a rat with experience.

This part of history is quite new. It wasn't even mentioned in the background information provided by the system.

Xu Tianlin watched the mouse with great interest.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"What does this have to do with you stealing someone else's ancient artifacts?"

Xu Tianlin toyed with the chip cards in his hand, the golden chips flipping between his slender fingers.

"What does this have to do with you rejecting my deal?"

But the mouse took a deep breath and continued speaking.

"During the previous battle between the myriad races and the abyss, I discovered a treasure."

"I named it Tianheng."

"Tianyan can resist the erosion of the laws of the abyss."

Xu Tianlin's eyes flickered slightly.

The mouse paused for a moment, then continued:

"Relying on it, the Kunjin Rat clan established a sanctuary for all races."

"Only the ancient primordial races, which you call the superior alien races, were able to recuperate and thrive."

"Otherwise, even if they possess ancient artifacts, they will eventually be worn down by the increasingly powerful and close abyssal laws."

The mouse raised its head, a complex emotion appearing in its eyes.

"However, this treasure requires ancient primordial materials."

"Without the support of these ancient primordial artifacts, the power of Tianyan will gradually weaken."

"And once the Heavenly Evolution weakens, the Abyss will continue to spread."

The mouse didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere in the hall became inexplicably oppressive.

Xu Tianlin tapped the teacup lightly with his fingers, producing a crisp sound.

The mouse sighed and looked around.

He looked at the resort’s bright and spacious lobby, at the facilities in the distance that exuded a gentle warmth, and at that peaceful space that was free from malevolent energy, pollution from the abyss, and even had a sense of relaxation.

"Our shelter is somewhat similar to yours."

"That's why I want to buy this place."

At this point, even though Mouse's skin was as thick as if it had been made of cement mixed with a city wall and then covered with three layers of explosion-proof steel plates, he couldn't help but blush.

"certainly……"

"I admit, it was a bit of a pipe dream back then."

"Is that so..."

Xu Tianlin smiled, but the smile quickly faded as he stared intently at the mouse.

"How can I believe what you're saying?"

The mouse suddenly stood up straight.

At this moment, its expression was more serious than ever before.

"I can take you to see it!"
