A Fortune Beyond Measure!

In Divine City, the Void Emperor did not leave. Instead, he sat and waited for the great holy lands of the world to come pay their respects!

"The Jiang Family requests an audience!"

"The Great Xia Dynasty requests an audience!"

"The Jade Pond Holy Land requests an audience!"

Others might not have the right to sit and wait for the world's great holy lands to pay them homage, but the Void Emperor was an exception.

In fact, the ones who should have felt honored were the great holy lands of the world.

The experts of the various holy lands prostrated themselves before the Void Emperor, worshipping him devoutly. No one dared show even the slightest dissatisfaction.

What a joke! Who would dare harbor even the slightest complaint before a living Human Emperor?

"Senior Sacred Body once protected my path. Now, I shall protect the Sacred Body lineage!" the Void Emperor said.

All the holy lands understood that this was both a notification and a warning. It was absolutely not a negotiation!

The way everyone looked at Ye Fan changed. An Emperor was personally protecting his path—there was no greater treatment than that!

No matter how many objections they had toward Ye Fan, from this day onward, everything from the past would vanish like smoke.

They could not afford to provoke him! They absolutely could not afford to provoke him!

The Void Emperor had personally spoken. Who would dare say no?

"Master, the Void Emperor is going to personally protect my path?" Ye Fan asked blankly.

Ever since becoming Li Ping's disciple, he had not enjoyed a single easy day. Everything had required him to struggle and fight for it himself.

Did he want to become enemies with the great holy lands? Did he want to be hunted down by them?

Was it not because his master had ignored him that, in order to obtain cultivation resources, he had no choice but to fight and compete?

Heaven had finally taken pity on him. His old master had finally come through for once!

The Void Emperor was personally going to protect his path. Something he had not even dared dream of was actually happening!

"Now you understand your master's painstaking intentions, don't you?" Li Ping said calmly.

Though he said that, only he knew how bitter he felt inside.

The Void Emperor personally protecting someone's path—what kind of heavenly treatment was that?

He wanted it too!

He knew very well that the Void Emperor was not personally protecting Ye Fan's path because Ye Fan was the next Heavenly Emperor.

The Void Emperor was willing to protect Ye Fan's path only because Ye Fan was the Sacred Body of this era. That was all!

"Master, I suppressed some people. How should I deal with them?" Ye Fan asked quietly.

In the past, he might have had some reservations, but now he had nothing to fear.

"That's simple. If they want to be released, they can pay a ransom!" Li Ping said.

Those suppressed by Ye Fan had only themselves to blame for lacking ability. If they wanted to live, naturally they had to pay for their lives.

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!" the Black Emperor said excitedly.

Holy sons and holy daughters cost one million jin of source, ordinary disciples cost one hundred thousand jin of source, and all the unknown ones cost ten thousand jin of source!

It was fair to young and old alike, entirely voluntary!

With the Void Emperor present, what else could the great holy lands do? They could only grit their teeth and accept it.

In just a short while, after Ye Fan had released everyone, they immediately made a fortune beyond measure.

"I'm the master, so I take seventy percent!" Li Ping said.

As he spoke, he had already stuffed the source into his own pocket, leaving Ye Fan staring in disbelief.

Ye Fan had captured them, and Ye Fan had released them. Even the Void Emperor was Ye Fan's path protector.

Why could he only take thirty percent?

But what could he do? He was utterly hopeless!

Who told Li Ping to be his master? Other than swallowing his anger and accepting it, what else could he do?

He hurriedly put away the remaining source, truly afraid that if he moved any slower, he would not even get thirty percent.

Even if it was only thirty percent, Ye Fan had still made a fortune. For a long time to come, he would no longer need to worry about cultivation resources.

However, no one knew that Li Ping's greatest earnings were not source at all.

Since the Void Emperor revealed his identity, Li Ping had earned a full three hundred million Shock Value in just a short time.

The matter was still spreading, and Shock Value was still increasing, only at a slower rate.

Given the current situation, earning a total of five hundred million Shock Value should not be a problem.

Reviving the Void Emperor had cost him only one billion Shock Value, and now half of it had returned at once!

If this happened a few more times, he would not only recover his investment, but make an enormous profit!

All in all, reviving the Void Emperor had made him filthy rich!

After Ye Fan released the captives, the great holy lands dispersed. Only the Jiang Family was an exception.

"Father! It really is you! It really is you!"

Ji Zi's face was filled with irrepressible excitement, and tears had long since blurred his vision.

After more than a hundred thousand years, he had never imagined that one day he would see his father again.

His father was alive! Exactly as he had been before his death!

He was not dreaming!

"I have returned," the Void Emperor sighed.

He had more than one child, but after countless bloody battles, only his youngest son before him had survived.

Though alive, Ji Zi had carried a mission on his shoulders. He had been sealed within Divine Source, waiting to emerge and turn the tide when the human race faced calamity.

Throughout his life, he could say he had never failed heaven, but he owed far too much to his own bloodline!

Everything was in the past now. The emergence of the Heavenly Court had allowed him to see hope!

As long as there were enough Points, both Senior Sacred Body and his descendants could be revived.

"That's wonderful! As long as Father is here, there is nothing to fear!" Ji Zi said excitedly.

He should have emerged in this era to begin with. In this unprecedented upheaval, he bore responsibilities he could not shirk.

But now things were different. His father had returned to the world. So what if an unprecedented upheaval had arrived?

"You may withdraw first. Your father has some matters to deal with," the Void Emperor said.

Then, he looked toward the Jiang Family members. His gaze was cold and stern enough to make people shudder as he said:

"When you hunted the Sacred Body, did you remember the debt the Sacred Body lineage owed my Void lineage?"

Under the Void Emperor's severe gaze, the Jiang Family experts were terrified senseless, unable to utter a word for a long while.

Without a sound, several Jiang Family members exploded, their bodies and souls reduced to ashes without leaving behind a trace.

The remaining people were all chilled to the bone, yet not a single one dared say another word.

With a single thought, an Emperor could see through everything. Those who had died deserved death. Who would dare object?

"Senior, I have an unreasonable request. Could you send me back to Earth?" Ye Fan asked respectfully.

Ever since he had accidentally arrived in the Big Dipper Star Domain, all he had wanted was to return to his homeland.

When one's parents were alive, one should not travel far. Yet he was now separated from them by countless miles.

"Very well," the Void Emperor said.

He had always held the greatest goodwill toward the Sacred Body. As long as the request was not excessive, he would agree.

Besides, for him, it was merely a simple matter.

"Thank you, Great Emperor!" Ye Fan said excitedly.

Li Ping's heart stirred slightly. If they were returning to Earth, there were indeed some matters that could be handled.

With that thought, he immediately began operating the system and issued several tasks in succession.

The Void Emperor sensed something. When he focused his attention on the token, several tasks immediately caught his eye.

He had just lamented that the Heavenly Court had too few tasks, yet several had suddenly appeared at once.

If he completed all these tasks, would he not immediately earn a large sum of Points?

However, when he saw the specific contents of the tasks, he froze!
