Zhou Ming spoke as though it were a trivial matter.
But to the seven True Lords, his words struck like a thunderclap.
Borrow?
He had sent people to kill the World Lords under their command, seized their resources, destroyed their worlds, and then called it "borrowing"?
And what he was borrowing was fortune?
"You must be joking."
Demon Ancestor Nether Demon spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Fortune has long since ceased to be of any use to us."
"Fellow Daoist, you have already attained Da Luo. Why remain so fixated on it?"
This was what baffled them most.
Upon reaching the Da Luo True Realm, one had long since transcended the river of destiny and become impervious to all tribulations. Whether fortune blessed them or not was utterly irrelevant.
The man before them was himself in the Da Luo True Realm, with countless living beings under his command. He could easily be self-sufficient, so why resort to such methods to steal others' fortune?
Such behavior was entirely at odds with the standing and reasoning of someone in the Da Luo True Realm.
"You have no need to know that."
Zhou Ming still had no intention of explaining.
His goal was to break the rule shackles within his body. The stakes were too high for him to tell anyone.
Zhou Ming's refusal to listen to reason thoroughly enraged the seven True Lords.
They had roamed the Hongmeng Universe for countless epochs. When had anyone ever disregarded them like this?
Seeing that Zhou Ming remained unmoved, the seven True Lords' expressions gradually darkened.
"Fellow Daoist, we have treated you courteously out of respect for your standing as a True Lord."
"This star region is jointly governed by the seven of us."
"You act within our territory yet refuse to tell us why.
