Recently, through interactions on the rune network with some of the gods from the Divine Clan, the creatures on the side of the Five Great Heavens gradually realized that these gods are mostly flesh and blood. Even though their blood is golden and their bodies might be incredibly strong, they are still living beings with various emotions.
Initially, they were high and mighty, but now some gods have started spending money on the big stars from the worlds of the Five Great Heavens. More gods are using money to buy the wonderful programs produced by the creatures of the Five Great Heavens. In a certain sense.
The beings of the Divine Clan have begun to show signs of integrating into the world of the Five Great Heavens!
Even if they themselves do not admit it, the fact remains.
Moreover, the gods themselves might not even realize how profitable the banks opened by the Heavenly Court on the continent of the gods are.
Although Chu Mo knew beforehand that it would be an astronomical figure, he was still a bit shocked.
The Heavenly Court is also quite ruthless, but the key lies in those women being ruthless!
They dared to price a protective case for a rune messaging board at one crystal stone!
At first, Chu Mo thought this pricing was insane!
But it turns out, the gods from the Divine Clan are much wealthier than Chu Mo imagined.
It's like the Beast Clan led by Nie Lang, where the entire clan's public wealth was only a little over three million crystal stones. However, the total wealth of this Beast Clan definitely exceeds a trillion crystal stones!
But crystal stones are the most fundamental wealth of the Divine Clan, sacred and inviolable. So, even a ruler like Nie Lang cannot ask his clansmen to contribute their wealth.
Chu Mo was unaware of this before and was only shocked after seeing the daily income from the continent of the gods. After asking Nie Lang, he understood.
The seven million crystal stones previously swindled from the Three Great Divine Clans are nothing compared to the income from the continent of the gods.
Chu Mo couldn't help but lament that by the time the seven rulers realized their crystal stones were being lost in massive amounts, the side of the Five Great Heavens might already be wealthy beyond measure!
Chu Hui said, "These things are the wealth plundered by the Divine Realm from our world since the Immeasurable Tribulation. Why shouldn't a rune message board protective case cost a crystal stone? I think it's too little!"
Alright, Chu Mo knew that when women are ruthless, they are much more ruthless than men.
The bank on the Divine Continent had only been open for a short time, but the income had already surpassed the seven million crystal stones previously swindled from the Three Great Divine Clans. This is why the Heavenly Court was so joyful.
Because Chu Mo immediately distributed a large amount of crystal stones as rewards to the meritorious individuals of the Heavenly Court.
Especially Nie Lang, who received a million alone!
In fact, it's not much at all!
Without Nie Lang, there wouldn't be this temporary peace, nor would there be a large income of crystal stones.
Nie Lang was also very happy, feeling that joining the lower world was the wisest decision of his life.
Watching the newlyweds toasting around, Nie Lang suddenly thought of something. He looked at Chu Mo, and sent a message, "Heavenly Emperor, I suddenly remembered something. It's about the blood curse of the Divine Clan…"
A moment later, Chu Mo frowned slightly, looking at Nie Lang, "How could there be such an evil method?"
Nie Lang smiled bitterly, "This method wasn't left by us, but... hmm, you know, they left it. Maybe they were preparing for the day they return to take control of the entire clan instantly."
Chu Mo nodded and then looked at Nie Lang, "Can a ruler use such a method?"
Nie Lang nodded, "I'm not sure if they will use it, but this time, we've trapped them. Those rulers aren't the kind to easily accept losses. They came with a huge momentum, wanting to even out the playing field in this world, wanting to wipe us out. In the end, we trapped them here firmly and used a small messaging board to not only weaken the gods' battle spirit but also extract unimaginable wealth from them. I believe it won't be long before they realize this. But they completely can't stop it! Even if they destroy the bank and cut off the rune network, there would definitely be a strong backlash among the gods internally."
Chu Mo nodded, "We did ensnare them quite badly…"
Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo, his mouth twitching, "More than just badly? If this trick had been used on us Beast Clan back then, the Heavenly Court would have long been incredibly wealthy!"
Chu Mo laughed heartily, "How could we use such a method on our own people?"
When the Beast Clan first entered the Heavenly Palace Continent, everything was aligned with the standards of the Five Great Heavens. Thus, things like the protective case of the rune messaging board, a small dharma instrument, were priced inconceivably low. A single crystal stone from the gods under normal circumstances could buy countless such items.
That's why Nie Lang felt that the Heavenly Court was extremely merciful towards them.
Chu Mo looked at Nie Lang and continued to ask, "So, according to you, they would threaten these two children's lives, threaten their relatives, and make them do things that would harm us?"
Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo and nodded, "It's known that the Heavenly Emperor treats his family and friends extraordinarily well, beyond simply being righteous."
"You flatter me." Chu Mo smiled.
"I don't flatter you, what I said doesn't even touch a billionth of what the Heavenly Emperor has done." Nie Lang said, "So, if I'm not mistaken, those rulers are most likely to attack the people around the Heavenly Emperor. Didn't we just threaten them? They'll definitely want to threaten us back."
"Aren't they afraid I'll go over and eliminate all their descendants?" Chu Mo said it lightly, but Nie Lang didn't think Chu Mo was just saying it casually.
Nowadays, with abundant crystal stones for cultivation, even Chu Mo himself couldn't clearly see the level of his own realm. But Nie Lang knew one thing for sure: in a one-on-one fight, he might not be a match for Chu Mo anymore.
So, when Chu Mo said he'd wipe out the direct descendants of the rulers, it was not an idle threat.
However, hearing Chu Mo's words, Nie Lang gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "Heavenly Emperor, not to brag about myself, but among the eight rulers in the Divine Realm, I'm the only one who genuinely cares about my descendants and values emotions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here from the Divine Realm. It's not for myself."
Chu Mo nodded, knowing Nie Lang spoke the truth. Given his status, power, and strength, even if the Divine Realm completely collapsed, he wouldn't be in any danger.
In this world, there is indeed little power that can destroy a ruler.
Nie Lang continued, "The remaining seven can be directly said to have no emotions and don't care about emotions. In order to fulfill their obsession, they wouldn't care about anything. As for emotions, they view them as dispensable. So, they can use emotions to threaten the Heavenly Emperor, but the Heavenly Emperor can't use emotions to threaten them in return. It's meaningless to them; they don't care!"
Chu Mo nodded, "Do you think they would really harm these two children?"
Nie Lang said, "I think it's very likely they will."
Chu Mo's face showed a hint of sarcasm, then he said lightly, "What do you think about us taking this opportunity to show them a little lesson?"
"Hmm?" Nie Lang's eyes gleamed, then laughed suddenly, "Brilliant!"
Chu Mo sighed softly, "However, I do hope they don't disturb these two children. In their hearts, there remains a tiny bit of hope that the Divine Clan could truly integrate with the living beings of the lower realms."
Nie Lang shook his head, "Sometimes, ideas are good, but it's tough to realize them. In the eyes of the gods, we are... too lowly."
"We?" Chu Mo glanced at Nie Lang.
Nie Lang said, "From the day I brought my entire clan into this world, it has been 'we'. His face shows a faint smile, "I don't regret it at all and feel it feels really good! But in the eyes of the other gods, we are like prey. Their sense of right and wrong won't be applied to us. It's like hunters needing to ask the prey's feelings before hunting?"
Chu Mo smiled, "On our turf, who's the prey is uncertain!"
The wedding banquet continued, and at this time, some people began to come over to toast. They were old friends and acquaintances, even though they were all in the Heavenly Court, they belonged to different departments, making it not so easy to meet the Heavenly Emperor Chu Mo.
Now having the chance to meet, they naturally wanted to get closer.
Almost all these people were friends from the past. Even though they were all in the Heavenly Court, they were in charge of different departments, creating some distance over time. But the initial bond was always there and remained. Otherwise, Chu Mo wouldn't have kept them with him all this time.
Now facing these old friends and acquaintances, Chu Mo laughed heartily, not needing to use any power to consume the top brew made by the Heavenly Court freely.
Suddenly, as the newlyweds were toasting around, Nie Lang thought of something and looked at Chu Mo, sending a message, "Heavenly Emperor, I suddenly remembered something. It's about the blood curse of the Divine Clan…"
A moment later, Chu Mo slightly furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Nie Lang, "How could there be such an evil method?"
Nie Lang smiled wryly and said, "This method wasn't left by us, rather... well, you know, they left it. Perhaps they are waiting for the day they make a comeback, to instantly control the entire clan."
Chu Mo nodded, then looked at Nie Lang, "Can such a method be used by a ruler?"
Nie Lang nodded, "I'm not sure if they'll use it, but this time, we basically managed to trap them. Those rulers are not ones to take a loss lightly. They came aggressively, intending to flatten this world, to eradicate all living things. In the end, we have them firmly tied here, and with just a small messaging board, not only have we weakened the fighting spirit of the Divine Clan but also extracted unimaginable wealth from them. I believe it won't be long before they realize this. But that, they absolutely cannot stop! Even if they destroy the bank or cut off the rune network, a fierce backlash within the gods is inevitable."
Chu Mo nodded, "They've indeed been pretty badly ensnared by us…"
Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo, twitching his mouth, "Not just pretty badly? If this tactic had been used on our Beast Clan, then the Heavenly Court would probably already be extremely wealthy, right?"
Chu Mo laughed, "How could we use such a tactic on our own people?"
In the past, when those of the Beast Clan entered the Heavenly Palace Continent, everything was aligned with the standards of the Five Great Heavens. So, things like the protective casing of rune messaging boards, a small dharma instrument, were priced so low it was unimaginable. For those gods, a single crystal stone could normally purchase countless such items.
That's why Nie Lang felt that the Heavenly Court had been exceptionally generous towards them, the Beast Clan.
Chu Mo looked at Nie Lang and continued to ask, "So, according to you, will they really target these two children first, threaten their lives, threaten their families, and try to make them do things that are not in our favor?"
Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo and nodded, "It's well-known that the Heavenly Emperor treats his family and friends so well, it can't be described by just the word 'righteous.'"
"You're flattering me." Chu Mo smiled.
"No, I'm not flattering you, what I said doesn't even touch one ten-billionth of what the Heavenly Emperor has done." Nie Lang said, "So, if I'm not mistaken, those rulers are most likely to try to exploit the people close to the Heavenly Emperor. Didn't we just threaten them? They're sure to want to turn around and threaten us in return."
"Aren't they afraid that I'll just go and wipe out all their descendants?" Chu Mo spoke lightly, but Nie Lang didn't think that Chu Mo was saying it casually.
Now, Chu Mo no longer lacks crystal stones for cultivation, and even he himself cannot clearly see what level his own realm has reached. But Nie Lang knew one thing for sure: in a one-on-one battle, he might be no match for Chu Mo now.
Therefore, when Chu Mo said he would eliminate the direct descendants of those rulers, it was definitely not a joke.
However, regarding Chu Mo's words, Nie Lang could only offer a helpless smile and said, "Heavenly Emperor, without boasting about myself, among the eight rulers of the Divine Realm, I'm the only one who genuinely cares about my descendants and values emotion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here from the Divine Realm. It's not for myself."
Chu Mo nodded, acknowledging that Nie Lang spoke the truth. Given his status and power, even if the Divine Realm truly collapsed, he would not be in any real danger.
There truly isn't much power in this world that can destroy a direct ruler.
Nie Lang continued, "So, they will use those two children to threaten their lives first, and then threaten their relatives to get them to act against us, doing things that would harm us?"
Nie Lang looked at Chu Mo and nodded, "It's well known that the Heavenly Emperor is incredibly kind to his family and friends, it's beyond simple righteousness."
"You flatter me." Chu Mo smiled.
"No flattery, what I've said isn't even a billionth of what the Heavenly Emperor has done." Nie Lang said, "So, if I'm not mistaken, those rulers are most likely to try to find a way to target the people close to the Heavenly Emperor. Didn't we just threaten them? They're bound to want to turn around and threaten us as well."
"Aren't they afraid that I'd go over and eliminate all their descendants?" Chu Mo said it lackadaisically, but Nie Lang didn't think Chu Mo was just saying it for effect.
As things stand, with Chu Mo not lacking in crystal stones for cultivation, even he himself can't quite see what level his realm has reached. But Nie Lang clearly understands one thing: in a one-on-one fight, he might not be equal to Chu Mo anymore.
So when Chu Mo said he would eliminate those rulers' direct descendants, it was not just idle talk.
But about this, Nie Lang could only offer a bitter smile and said, "Heavenly Emperor, it's not boasting when I say this, but among all eight rulers in the Divine Realm, I'm perhaps the only one who truly cares about my descendants and who really values emotions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come from the Divine Realm to here. It's not for myself."
Chu Mo nodded. He knew Nie Lang was speaking the truth. Given his status and power, even if the Divine Realm were to completely collapse, he wouldn't be in any real danger.
There really isn't much power in this world that can destroy a true ruler.
Nie Lang continued, "The rest of the seven can be very blunt. They really have no emotions and don't care about emotions. If I'm guessing correctly, those rulers are most likely to try and take advantage of the people around the Heavenly Emperor. We've just threatened them, haven't we? They're definitely thinking about turning around to threaten us too."
"Aren't they afraid that I'll go and eliminate all their descendants?" Chu Mo spoke lightly, but Nie Lang didn't think for a second that Chu Mo was just speaking casually.
Given the current state of Chu Mo, not lacking in crystal stones for cultivation, even he himself was unclear about the level of his abilities. However, Nie Lang knew very well: in one-on-one combat, he might not even be a match for Chu Mo now.
Therefore, Chu Mo's words about cutting off the direct descendants of those rulers were definitely not a joke.
Nevertheless, Nie Lang could only offer a wry smile at Chu Mo's words, saying, "Heavenly Emperor, not to toot my horn, but among the eight rulers in the Divine Clan, I'm perhaps the only one who truly values my descendants and emotions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here from the Divine Realm. I'm not here for myself."
Chu Mo nodded, acknowledging that Nie Lang was telling the truth. Given his status, power, and strength, even if the Divine Realm completely collapsed, he would not be in any real danger. There truly isn't much power in this world that can destroy a direct ruler.
Thus, Chu Mo's words about cutting off those rulers' descendants were absolutely not a joke.
However, upon hearing these words from Chu Mo, Nie Lang could only offer a helpless smile and said, "Heavenly Emperor, not to brag about myself, but among the eight rulers in the Divine Realm, I'm perhaps the only one who actually cares about my descendants and really values emotions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left the Divine Realm to come here. It's not for myself."
Chu Mo nodded, acknowledging the truth in Nie Lang's words. Given his status, power, and strength, even if the Divine Realm truly collapsed, he would not be affected.
There truly isn't much power in the world that can destroy a true ruler.
Nie Lang continued, "So, for the remaining seven, it's safe to say they lack emotions and don't care about them. They don't care! In order to fulfill their obsession, they wouldn't hesitate to use any means. So,they might indeed target these two children, threaten their lives, their relatives, trying to force them to do things detrimental to us."
Chu Mo showed a hint of a smile on his face, saying flatly, "Then what do you think about us using this opportunity to show them what we can do in return?"
"Hmm?" Nie Lang's eyes were bright with a sudden smile, "Brilliant!"
Chu Mo sighed gently, "However, I do hope they do not disturb these two children. Indeed, it hasn't been easy for them – they still hold a bit of hope in their hearts that the Divine Clan could truly merge with all living beings in our lower world."
Nie Lang shook his head, "Sometimes, ideas are good, but difficult to realize. In the eyes of those gods, we… are too inferior."
"We?" Chu Mo glanced at Nie Lang.
Nie Lang said, "From the day I led all my clan members into this world, it has been 'we'. His face showed a faint smile. "I do not regret it at all, I feel very content with this! But in the eyes of those other gods, we are just like prey. Their concepts of right and wrong, they won't apply to us. It's like asking a hunter if they should consider the feelings of their prey before hunting."
Chu Mo smiled, "In our territory, who is the prey is still up for debate!"
The wedding feast continued on, at this time, some people came over to toast. They were friends and acquaintances from the past, although they were all in the Heavenly Court, they were in charge of different departments, making meetings with the Heavenly Emperor Chu Mo not so easy.
Now having the opportunity to meet, they naturally want to get closer.
Almost all of these people were Chu Mo's friends from his early days in the Yanhuang domain. As Chu Mo's status and position continued to elevate, some distance naturally formed between him and them. However, the initial bond has always remained. If it hadn't, Chu Mo wouldn't have kept them with him until today.
Facing these friends and acquaintances, Chu Mo welcomed them without hesitation, not even needing to exercise, he could drink this top-quality brew made by the Heavenly Court freely and not get drunk.
The slightly tipsy feeling was really quite pleasant.
Just then, as Chen Fan and Lan Xiao were being surrounded on the other side, they suddenly groaned in unison and simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood.
