Cosmic Trading System-Chapter 1406 - 1071 Overt Plot_2

Chapter 1406: Chapter 1071: Overt Plot_2 Chapter 1406: Chapter 1071: Overt Plot_2 Reality is often just like this, a single misstep can mean the difference between heaven and earth. One step ahead, and you keep leading; one step behind, and you’re always trailing. When something truly happens, it’s too late for regrets.

They had seen too much of such things.

Thinking this, they each looked at Divine Emperor Yi Fire with burning eyes.

“In regards to this matter, there’s no rush. Your strengths are not simple, and so many of you wish to enter the Netherworld. This artifact’s influence is also limited. In case the number of you entering is too large and the artifact’s influence fails, then the trouble will really begin. From Lingwei God King’s words, you can see, those Peak Divine Realm spirits of the Netherworld are not to be trifled with!” Divine Emperor Yi Fire glanced at these powerful individuals and spoke slowly.

“Your Majesty, I can enter first and take the lead. Lingwei God King and the others ultimately spent too little time in the Netherworld previously, not necessarily obtaining complete information…” A Peak Divine Realm hastily said.

“Indeed, no matter when we make our next major entry into the Netherworld, there’s no harm in scouting out information in advance. I am also willing to go and gather intelligence!”

Several Peak Divine Realm spirits nodded in agreement and volunteered one after another.

“It’s rare for all of you to be so enthusiastic. If you’re willing to gather intelligence, I naturally agree. Here’s the thing, this artifact—I need to cultivate it a bit more, attempting to increase its influence so that more powerful beings can enter the Netherworld. For the time being, it will be tough for you to have your subordinates use special methods to enter the Netherworld and scout for information.” Divine Emperor Yi Fire smiled slightly as he spoke.

During the conversation, Divine Emperor Yi Fire’s gaze turned to some Divine Realm powerhouses. It was clear that he had assigned this task to these Divine Realm powerhouses.

Upon hearing Divine Emperor Yi Fire’s words, the Divine Realm powerhouses nearly spat blood. They had wanted to personally enter the Netherworld, seeking opportunities, not to have their subordinates scout for information. Without that artifact, they couldn’t enter the Netherworld, and sending their subordinates would also come at no small cost!

How could they willingly commit to such an endeavor with little to no gains?

However, they had already spoken their offer in front of so many powerful beings from the various dynasties, and it didn’t seem right to take back their words now.

Everyone was no fool; how could others not see through what they were thinking?

Oh, all eager to reap the benefits but reluctant when it comes to the disadvantages; then, how could they have the gall to race to enter the Netherworld next time? How could the other powerful beings agree?

Let it be, let it be. Let’s just consider it laying the groundwork for entering the Netherworld ahead of others later.

In a moment, the powerful beings sighed inwardly and thought this.

As the saying goes, everything has two sides. Their sacrifices now might not be a bad thing; clearly, having given so much now, it’s more justified for them to request to enter the Netherworld ahead of others later on.

With this thought, their mood improved considerably.

“Your Majesty, I will continue cultivating this artifact. Are the resources provided previously still sufficient? If not, I have some more here!”

“I don’t have anything else, but I still have plenty of Stardust Sand!”

At this moment, one after another, Peak Divine Realm and even higher-level Divine Realm spirits said with a smile.

They were thinking of putting in effort from another angle, so they could make demands later.

“Hehe, with our Divine Dynasty’s powerful beings working together so harmoniously, what’s the Netherworld compared to that? As for resources, indeed I still need some. I was planning on figuring out some way, but since you’re all so considerate, I won’t hold back…” Seeing this scene, Divine Emperor Yi Fire chuckled.

Then, he listed a series of resource names and amounts.

Many powerful beings of the Acquired Divine Race dynasties took the initiative to offer up resources, and some even competed to give more—proving their genuine consideration for the dynasty’s development. To the unaware, they might really believe all these powerful beings were stalwart pillars of the dynasty.

Among the powerful beings, Blue Lotus God Monarch made no move, his eyes flickering slightly.

Divine Emperor Yi Fire’s method was not complex; on the contrary, it was quite straightforward—a bold strategy that the powerful beings still had to comply with, reluctantly acting as he wished. It must be said that Yi Fire was truly deserving of his reputation as the one who led the Acquired Divine Race to step by step defeat their Innate Divine Race dynasty.

Just as with the preceding calculation of the Netherworld’s Peak Divine Realm spirits by Divine Emperor Yi Fire, at first, many powerful beings were not aware of his purpose. With upward of ten Peak Divine Realm spirits falling, it was quite an audacious move.

The fact proved that Divine Emperor Yi Fire’s decision was right, almost annihilating the entirety of the Netherworld’s Peak Divine Realm spirits.

The battle brought the Acquired Divine Race’s empire a total of over a dozen top-tier Godhoods. The fall of the ten Peak Divine Realm beings was almost compensated for by this number, and when talking about the increase in the quantity of Peak Divine Realms, there were only gains, no losses.

Upon reflection, Divine Emperor Yi Fire might not only have been targeting the Peak Divine Realms of the Netherworld but also intended to weed out the unstable elements within the Acquired Divine Race’s empire. Moreover, the newly acquired dozen or so top-tier Godhoods could also be used to cultivate his own trusted followers.

It was truly hitting several birds with one stone, a scheme that couldn’t be devised by someone with an ordinary mind.

Even Blue Lotus God Monarch, who once was a high-ranking member of the Innate Divine Race, had to admire their tactics and deeply felt that their Innate Divine Race’s empire’s defeat hadn’t been unjust.

“Your Majesty, perhaps your original plan was right, but, unexpectedly, the emergence of someone like Yi Fire in the Acquired Divine Race led to our ultimate failure…” Blue Lotus God Monarch sighed inwardly and muttered to himself.

This reference to ‘Your Majesty’ naturally wasn’t directed at Yi Fire of the Acquired Divine Race’s empire but at the once Divine Emperor of their Innate Divine Race’s empire.

Thinking of the fallen Innate Divine Race’s empire, a hint of solitude flickered in the depths of Blue Lotus God Monarch’s eyes.

He and the Emperor had known each other since the primordial chaos, fought side by side to establish the Innate Divine Race’s empire, and had lived for countless eons together.

How could he possibly be unemotional about the Innate Divine Race’s empire?

If it weren’t out of necessity, why would he betray the Innate Divine Race?

Unfortunately… the world is unpredictable…

He didn’t foresee the unexpected appearance of the Crown Prince… A single misstep led to a cascade of errors, leaving him unable to turn back.

“One month from now, the second assault on the Netherworld will commence. Everyone, use this time to prepare!”

Before long, Divine Emperor Yi Fire had arranged all affairs and set the schedule that everyone was anticipating.

Afterward, the mighty beings of the empire dispersed.

Meanwhile.

In the Netherworld.

The Three-Eyed Emperor also returned to the High-Level Layered Heaven of the Netherworld with his Divine Realm beings, urging those who were at a critical point in their cultivation to make use of the time for their final training.

Since the Acquired Divine Race’s empire in the Spirit World had already launched the first attack, it wouldn’t be long before the second assault occurred.

Perhaps it would be very, very soon.

Therefore, the remaining Divine Realms were not allowed to disperse by the Three-Eyed Emperor. Instead, he had them assemble at all times, practicing battle formations as they prepared for imminent combat.

“Take some Divine Realms with you to the lower layered heavens of the Netherworld. Relocate the ordinary Ghost Practitioners there and have them cultivate from the fifty-fifth through the sixty-third layered heavens of the Netherworld…” After arranging some matters, the Three-Eyed Emperor thought for a long time and, after a lengthy discussion with Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Heaven God King, and others, he made a decision. He summoned several mid-to-upper level Divine Realm Ghost Practitioners, assigning them their tasks one by one.

The quantity of ordinary Ghost Practitioners in the Netherworld was countless. Moving all of them to the high-level heavens of the Netherworld would undoubtedly consume a vast amount of the heaven and earth’s power and resources there. Although the cultivation of Divine Realms didn’t require ordinary resources, the birth of cultivation resources for Divine Realms in the Netherworld was predicated on the consumption of massive amounts of ordinary resources.

If the ordinary resources were depleted too much, the birth rate of cultivation resources for Divine Realms in the Netherworld would inevitably be severely affected.

Moreover, if there weren’t many Ghost Practitioners in the lower heavens and a large number existed in the higher heavens, it would affect the overall balance of the Netherworld.

This issue had once been discussed with Lin Yun.

Nevertheless, most of the passageways connecting the Netherworld and the Spirit World were in the lower heavens… Once the mighty beings from the Acquired Divine Race’s empire in the Spirit World launched another assault on the Netherworld, it was very likely they would enter through the lower heavens!

Considering the ruthless tactics previously employed by the strong of the Acquired Divine Race’s empire in the Spirit World, and the gap between Divine Realms and ordinary cultivators, these ordinary Ghost Practitioners would likely face dire straits if they weren’t moved to the high heavens of the Netherworld.
