The capital of Yu Kingdom, inside the royal palace.

Black Butcher and Suo Zi looked at each other, both somewhat nervous.

"The king is going to Huyang City, and he's actually taking the two of us with him?" The fat Black Butcher, as an Eternal True God, would naturally be considered upper class in an ordinary city. But in principle, he shouldn't be qualified to see the king.

The Yu Country Ruler was able to establish a second-rate nation and was a renowned figure throughout the Origin Continent.

"Even I was chosen?" Suo Zi was even more bewildered. He was the only Void True God among the six followers.

"Father..." Yu Shui Tian Yu also spoke up; she was just one of the children of the Yu Country Ruler.

The hairy Yu Country Ruler stood there, and even though it was just an avatar, his invisible aura was still terrifying. He glanced at his six followers, and finally his gaze landed on the Black Butcher and his apprentice Suo Zi: "I went to Huyang City this time to visit God King Luo He. I heard that you two are old acquaintances of God King Luo He?"

"God King Luo He?"

"Senior Luo He has become a God-King?"

Black Butcher and Suo Zi weren't very well-informed, and it wasn't until now that they learned Luo He had become the God King.

"Your Majesty, the God King Luo He was very fond of my restaurant and often came to patronize it," the fat, Black Butcher replied obediently.

"Your Majesty," Suo Zi said, "It was the God King Luo He who saved our tribe when I left the tribe, allowing me to reach Huyang City. The God King Luo He saved my life."

The hairy Yu Country Ruler nodded calmly, bringing along two old acquaintances in order to get closer to Luo Feng.

"Set off."

The Yu Country Ruler gave an order.

Call!

Accompanied by six followers, he traversed time and space in an instant, traveling through the distorted spacetime.

In the blink of an eye, this team had flown out of the distorted spacetime and appeared inside Huyang City.

"Luo He..." The Yu Country Ruler led his troops leisurely flying, heading straight for the City Lord's Mansion.

There was worry in the eyes of the Yu Country Ruler.

"In terms of strength, the Heaven Kun Country Lord is about the same as me. But in terms of the number of friends, the Heaven Kun Country Lord far surpasses me." The Yu Country Ruler was also a little uneasy at this time. "The Heaven Kun Country Lord has many friends, and even has an excellent relationship with the Yan Feng Ancient Nation Royal Clan. Several emperors often summon him."

"After all, Luo He is the Direct Disciple of the Emperor of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation. Perhaps he is friends with the Heaven Kun Country Lord?" The Yu Country Ruler had no confidence in persuading Luo Feng.

He was used to being alone.

"We have to give it a try."

"If we can't persuade Luo He, we'll ask the Flint Wind God King to temporarily hold off the Heaven Kun Country Lord and buy some time." The Yu Country Ruler also had a backup plan, asking the Flint Wind God King to help hold them off for a period of time.

Given enough time, he could find a way to escape safely from the Heaven River and return.

There's an ambush in the Heaven River now; if you rush to escape, you could easily fall into a trap.

If even a full cycle of time isn't enough to escape... then we'll have to pay a huge price! Either abandon our true forms, or negotiate with the Heaven Kun Country Lord and the others.

"Father, the City Lord's Mansion is just ahead," Yu Shui Tian Yu suddenly reminded him.

The Yu Country Ruler stopped thinking about it and looked at the magnificent City Lord's Mansion in front of him.

"Brother Luo He," the Yu Country Ruler immediately transmitted his voice, "I am Yu Shui."

A figure in silver appeared at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord of the City." The guards at the gate immediately bowed respectfully.

"God King Luo He?"

Yu Shui Tian Yu, Black Butcher, and Suo Zi all saw this silver-clad figure, which seemed familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.

Nowadays, Luo Feng, dressed in silver, exudes an increasingly ordinary aura.

"Greetings, Yu Shui Country Lord," Luo Feng said.

"I have long heard of Brother Luo He's name, but today is the first time I have the opportunity to meet him," said the Yu Shui Country Lord with a smile. He had once tried to recruit Luo Feng as his disciple, but Luo Feng declined and went to the Chu capital of the Chu Capital Yan Feng Ancient Nation.

"And three old acquaintances." Luo Feng smiled as he glanced at Yu Shui Tian Yu, Black Butcher, and Suo Zi, whom he had known since his Eternal True God stage.

"God King Luo He." The three of them bowed respectfully.

"Yu Shui Country Lord, let's go inside and talk," Luo Feng said.

"Alright." The Yu Shui Country Lord entered together and instructed his attendants, "You can take a stroll around Huyang City."

"Yes." The attendants acknowledged the order and watched the king and Luo Feng enter before they relaxed.

Looking at this much more prosperous city, the Black Butcher felt a sense of unfamiliarity. He had struggled for a long time in Huyang City, painstakingly accumulating resources before finally breaking through to the Eternal True God.

"Huyang City." Suo Zi's feelings were even more complicated. His brother, Suo Yun, was dead, a fact he had known for a long time.

The two brothers originally wanted to settle down in Huyang City! But later they went down different paths. He went to the Royal Capital with his master, Suo Yun even went to see him off.

"Black Butcher, you and your apprentice know Huyang City very well. Arrange a place for you to eat and drink," Yu Shui Tian Yu instructed.

"Your Highness, please follow me." The Black Butcher immediately led the way.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Luo Feng and the Yu Shui Country Lord sat facing each other.

"It's widely rumored that after you become a God King, Brother Luo He, you will quickly reach the invincible God King First Realm." The Yu Shui Country Lord looked at Luo Feng. "Seeing it today, the rumors are indeed true. Your physical body is already at the God King Second Realm."

Although he only sent an avatar, his cultivation level remained the same, so he could naturally sense the terrifying nature of Luo Feng's avatar.

"I cultivate the physical body, and my techniques are clumsy and not worth mentioning," Luo Feng laughed. "I have to thank the King for my strength today."

"Thank me?" The Yu Shui Country Lord was surprised. What did this have to do with him?

"Back then, Your Majesty sent your daughter, Yu Shui Tian Yu, with a leaf from the Void Evolution Mother Tree Leaf, which greatly helped my cultivation," Luo Feng said.

That leaf, though not particularly valuable, had a profound impact on Luo Feng.

It was because of that leaf that Luo Feng was able to travel to the Chaos Layer and collect some Chaos Layer creatures, which led Luo Feng to start researching the 'Transformation Method' early on! Without that leaf, Luo Feng's core fighting method might not have been the Transformation Method.

"A leaf from the Void Mother Tree?" Yu Shui Country Lord chuckled. "Brother Luo He, you're too kind! It's just a leaf, used to help the Eternal True God enter the Chaos Layer and better understand the 'Chaos Law.' It's nothing to mention as an aid to the Eternal True God's cultivation."

"It means a lot to me." Luo Feng didn't explain further.

I was so poor back then! A single leaf made me all the more precious, and it also helped me reach the Chaos Realm much faster.

The Yu Shui Country Lord felt much more at ease at this moment, as he could sense Luo He's goodwill!

"Brother Luo He, I've come today to discuss something very important," said the Yu Shui Country Lord.

"Your Majesty, please speak freely." Luo Feng personally poured wine for the Yu Shui Country Lord.

The Yu Shui Country Lord said, "You are well aware of the situation in Food Country and Yu Country."

"As long as you live, Your Majesty, they won't dare to truly destroy the Yu Country," Luo Feng said. After all, the Yu Shui Country Lord was only at the God King Second Realm. If he were truly unburdened, the Food Country would be in even greater trouble.

The Sitting Mountain Guest has fled abroad, and the Food Country can be disregarded!

The power and intimidation of the Yu Shui Country Lord are completely different.

"They dare not destroy the Yu Country, nor do they dare to destroy my people." The Yu Shui Country Lord shook his head, his eyes, hidden by his hair, were full of resentment. "But they can keep nibbling away at the Yu Country, taking away ninety percent of its territory, forcing the other god-kings of the Yu Country to leave one by one."

"Without most of the territory, the God-Kings and Chaos Realm will leave, and my race will not have enough resources."

Luo Feng nodded.

At the level of the Yu Shui Country Lord, the resources of the Treasure Land may be of greater importance.

But the other four God-Kings, and countless descendants of the Yu Shui clan... what they need is a continuous supply of 'residence fees' and Heaven and Earth Treasures from the entire Yu Country. Without these, ethnic conflicts will naturally escalate significantly.

"How many god-kings can completely disregard their children and their clans?" said the Yu Shui Country Lord.

"Yes." Luo Feng nodded.

For him, his family, children, and Human Race were more important than his own life.

"That's why I've come to ask for your help, Brother Luo He," said the Yu Shui Country Lord. "As a regional overlord, Brother Luo He, you are skilled in the art of creating clones. Even the Heaven Kun Country Lord can't do anything to you. You have enough strength to resist the Food Country."

"Of course I know this request will put you in a difficult position," said the Yu Shui Country Lord. "Once you completely turn against the Heaven Kun Country Lord, you will have made a great enemy."

"The Heaven Kun Country Lord is powerful, a deeply accumulating God King Second Realm. Facing him, you are at a disadvantage and can only be forced to take the beating. Moreover, he has many friends, and several emperors of the Yan Feng Ancient Nation value him highly." The Yu Shui Country Lord looked at Luo Feng. "If you don't want to get involved, I understand."

"The Heaven Kun Country Lord is not someone to be trifled with," Luo Feng nodded in agreement.

The Yu Shui Country Lord said, "I have two ideas. First, I invite you to fully join my Yu Country and become one of Yu Country God-Kings. I will naturally give you sufficient fiefdoms and abundant treasures! These conditions can be discussed in detail. At that time, you will have every reason to help resist the Food Country."

"Second, if you are unwilling to join my Yu Country, then consider it a request for your help, Brother Luo He. You can also make your demands. I can give you a portion of my territory! The entire Yu Country... I can decide to give you twenty Chaos Continent! I can also use a treasure worth 'one hundred million merits' to ask you to help me block the Food Country."

"I know that to completely stand against the Food Country and to block the Food Country for a long time, these conditions are not enough."

"It's perfectly normal for you to refuse," the Yu Shui Country Lord, looking at Luo Feng.

The entire territory of the Yu Country was owned.

He needed to carve out twenty Chaos Continent, and also reclaim some fiefdoms belonging to the Chaos Realm and even God-Kings, requiring substantial compensation. Therefore, Luo Feng could only choose between the twenty Chaos Continent and the treasure worth one hundred million merits.

"There's no need to join the Yu Country," Luo Feng smiled. "How about this, Ten Chaos Continents? You hire me, and I'll help you hold off the Food Country."

The Yu Shui Country Lord was already uneasy because the conditions he offered were not particularly high.

"You agreed? Ten Chaos Continents?" The Yu Shui Country Lord was somewhat incredulous. Luo He had agreed far too readily and even lowered his conditions.

It's important to know that a God-King with considerable power, such as the Sitting Mountain Guest in the past, could establish a third-rate kingdom on his own, which would typically encompass the territory of about Ten Chaos Continents.

As a regional overlord, Luo Feng still has to resist the entire Food Country. Ten Chaos Continents are really too low a target.

"That leaf from the Void Mother Tree was of great help to me back then," Luo Feng said with a smile. "I will help you, Your Majesty, with the Ten Chaos Continents. However, I will choose the locations of these Ten Chaos Continents."

"Alright, choose whatever you like." The Yu Shui Country Lord thought to himself that even if he chose something crucial, he would still have to find a way to resolve it.

"These are the ten."

With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng revealed a map of the Yu Country, with 'Huyang City' as the center and the Ten Chaos Continents, which were actually the area reflected in Luo Feng's inner world!

"Ten Chaos Continents near the border?" The Yu Shui Country Lord was moved. The Chaos Continent on the border were in the worst situation. Some of them had even been occupied by the Food National Capital, and the rest were under attack.

"That's all," Luo Feng said. "Also, Marquis Jiu Jiang is my friend, and I have now included Jiu Jiang Chaos State in my territory. I would like to ask Your Majesty to arrange a good fief for him."

"Don't worry, everything will be handled properly." The Yu Shui Country Lord looked at Luo Feng, truly moved. "Brother Luo He, you are so generous in helping me. I, Yushui, will remember this."
