In truth, Demon Lord Tian Gen still had not gathered the compensation he needed to pay the Dreadful Treant Civilization.
According to the Rule Contract Jue Teng Tree Demon had personally signed with him from the start, since he wanted to go back on his word, he had to pay triple compensation!
Originally, the Dreadful Treant Civilization had wanted to raise this breach compensation to five times, or even more.
But upon considering that it might frighten those Top-Level Civilizations and individual experts, and perhaps make them suspicious, they did not do so.
It was only triple, that was all.
The enormous breach compensation meant that not only had Demon Lord Tian Gen failed to reap much benefit, he might even have to work for nothing over the next several tens of thousands of years!
In Demon Lord Tian Gen's own words to Jue Teng Tree Demon: "I will repay the resource compensation I owe you as much as possible within the next twenty thousand years!"
Even with such a massive Debt Crisis hanging over him, Demon Lord Tian Gen stubbornly refused to enter the Dimensional Battlefield to fight.
This was enough to show just how wary the news Demon Lord Tian Gen had received had made him of intervening in the coming Dimensional Hegemony.
No matter what anyone said, Demon Lord Tian Gen refused to come!
Even if the Level-9 Jue Teng Tree Demon handed that exceedingly precious Level-9 Tree Crystal directly to Demon Lord Tian Gen on the spot, this Old Devil would still mutter to himself twice over it.
"Hmph, and this fellow dares call himself a 'Demon Lord'? He is actually this cowardly!" the Flying Illusion Flower Spirit of the Dreadful Treant Civilization could not help grumbling inwardly afterward.
