"If you're intercepted and killed by the other side, your Dao Foundation will be swallowed by them, increasing their own Dao Foundation. The reverse is true as well. If you can instead kill them in a counter-raid and devour an equal Dao Foundation, you'll have double the Eight Extremes Dao Foundation. How about it? Isn't that incredibly tempting?" Shining Moon Immortal Venerable said with a smile.
"Of course, having double the Eight Extremes Dao Foundation is a good thing. If I manage to earn a Dao Foundation equivalent to the one I have now, can I bring it back to the Genesis Heaven?" I asked in return. This was a gambling agreement, and its cruelty was plain to see.
"Of course. But I'm lending you such a handy Dao Foundation, so you'll have to give me fifty percent. Can you accept that?" Shining Moon Immortal Venerable made an outrageous demand without hesitation.
"Fifty percent? Why don't you just ascend to heaven? Or you can do it yourself! I'll still cross the river with a single thought. At least then it'll all be mine!" I was left dumbfounded.
"Heh heh, do you think you can cross the river smoothly with just a single thought? You should know that beings capable of seeing through thoughts, like the Supreme Clarity Immortal Venerable just now, are everywhere in the various Dao Foundation universes. There are even great arrays of Dao Foundation that can devour thoughts. I presume your Genesis Heaven doesn't have those. They're a sharp weapon for preventing other Immortal Venerables from forming alliances and maneuvering across realms! So if you charge into another Immortal Venerable's Dao Foundation universe with a single thought, you're only asking to be humiliated! The only recognized method now is this sort of gambling agreement!" Shining Moon Immortal
