Human Clan Defender-Chapter 430 -s 184-185 Because You Are Strong Enough (Two-in-One - , Asking for Monthly Tickets)_4

The remaining Demon Evils are also key to the birth of new Defender Envoys. Defender Shen, you should understand that until a person becomes so powerful they are invincible in this world, they still need the aid of others to succeed. I only ask you: if all the Demon Evils in the Demon Sealing Tower were given to you, would you have the confidence to be invincible under the heavens, unafraid of the Demon Evil Clan’s invasion, and capable of protecting the peace of all people?"

He took a deep breath.

Shen Changqing shook his head helplessly. "I cannot."

He truly couldn’t. He wasn’t lying about this. Despite his confidence in his own strength, Shen Changqing knew it was incredibly difficult to become invincible in the world through his power alone. Even if he slew all the Demon Evils in the Demon Sealing Tower, it remained uncertain to what realm his Divine Soul could advance. If his Divine Soul didn’t advance, it would be very difficult for the Divine Heaven Golden Body to progress either.

Furthermore, even if both his Divine Soul and Divine Heaven Golden Body truly reached the tenth stage, allowing him to break through to the Grandmaster Peak, what then? At most, he only had the confidence to deal with Great Demons. As for facing a Demon Saint, that truly might not be possible. Therefore, becoming invincible under the heavens was simply not something the Demon Evils in the Demon Sealing Tower could help him achieve. Moreover, the idea that the energy provided by the Demon Sealing Tower could allow him to break through to the Grandmaster Peak was the most idealistic scenario. In reality, he felt the likelihood of the Demon Sealing Tower enabling him to reach the Grandmaster Peak was very low.

Shen Changqing could understand the implication in Dongfang Zhao’s words. The Demon Sealing Tower was, in fact, the very foundation and hope of the entire Demon-Subduing Division. If this foundation and hope could be exchanged for an invincible powerhouse, that naturally wouldn’t be an issue. But if not, it would require careful consideration. Regarding this, he wouldn’t go against his conscience and claim he could achieve it.

"Without rules, nothing can be properly accomplished. If you truly could achieve that, I would be willing to break the rules for you. But if you cannot, then we must follow the rules of the Demon-Subduing Division," Dongfang Zhao said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Changqing abandoned the thought of freeloading.

Afterward, Dongfang Zhao changed the subject. "You’ve returned to the Demon-Subduing Division with your own agenda, I presume? Is it for the black market auction, or for other matters?"

Clearly, Dongfang Zhao was very well aware of the rumors regarding the black market auction.

Shen Changqing smiled faintly. "The black market auction is one reason. Another is that I wish to request the Hidden Heart Pavilion to go to South Sea City and Mountain-Breaking City to build a Demon-Subduing Prison in each for detaining Demon Evils. I wonder if this is feasible?"

"Build Demon-Subduing Prisons?" Dongfang Zhao was initially puzzled, but then he understood. He looked at Shen Changqing and said calmly, "Having the Hidden Heart Pavilion build Demon-Subduing Prisons isn’t a major issue, but you will have to pay the corresponding Merit Points. After all, the people from the Hidden Heart Pavilion won’t go to South Nether Prefecture for no reason. Unless absolutely necessary, I cannot order them. Therefore, to make them go to South Nether Prefecture, there must be something enticing enough for them."

"How many Merit Points does the Lord Defender think would be appropriate?"

"Let’s put it this way: building the Demon-Subduing Prison in the Capital City cost no less than two thousand Merit Points. You’ll have to see if you can bear this expense."

"Two thousand Merit Points!" Shen Changqing winced upon hearing this. The Demon-Subduing Prison in the Capital City is quite large. Although the Demon-Subduing Prisons in South Nether Prefecture could be slightly smaller, even then, a thousand Merit Points would still be needed for each. For two Demon-Subduing Prisons, a conservative estimate is two thousand Merit Points, plus some extra expenses and labor costs. Doing the math, it likely wouldn’t cost less than three thousand Merit Points.

His first instinct was to give up. But after serious consideration, he realized that although three thousand Merit Points was a lot, once the Demon-Subduing Prisons were built, they would continuously benefit him. The initial outlay could be considered an investment.

With this thought, Shen Changqing nodded. "The two Demon-Subduing Prisons in South Nether Prefecture don’t need to be too large. I am willing to pay three thousand Merit Points. Does the Lord Defender think that’s enough?"

"Three thousand Merit Points should be about right. I’ll help you inquire."
