"Indeed. Master Wu was nothing more than an intelligent life. As long as we followed the procedures, there was nothing he could do to us."

As an intelligent life himself, Babata naturally understood intelligent life best.

Master Wu now had to act according to the instructions his Master had left behind before his death, so no matter how many tricks he had, it would be difficult for him to use them.

"Mm. Although that castle is a fortress left behind by a World Lord Expert, and there's absolutely no way for us to breach it...

I have a way to handle it. No need to worry."

Although Jiang Ming and the others were not certain whether Master Wu would cause trouble after they finished exchanging for treasures, since they believed it was possible, they naturally had to stay on guard.

If Master Wu still followed the original timeline and chose Thor as the Thunder World Lord's Disciple, then everyone would be happy.

If not, then he would have to take harsh measures.

Jiang Ming decided that if Thor did not receive the inheritance, he would have Marquis Flame Abyss deal with it.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two months went by.

As the final treasure was exchanged, the castle began to close and fall silent.

Watching the castle gradually shut down, Jiang Ming spoke to the group.

"Let's go. We'll distribute the treasures."

Jiang Ming took out three Space Rings and handed them to Luo Feng and the other two.

All 312 treasures from the World within a World were in Jiang Ming's possession. Based on everyone's circumstances, he gave each of them different treasures.

After the treasures were handed out, the group began examining their gains.

Not long after checking his treasures, Thor's eyes suddenly widened.

Seeing this, Luo Feng and Hong were both puzzled. Could it be that Jiang Ming had given Thor a great many treasures?

"What did he give you? Why are you grinning like that?"

Hong asked with an amused smile.

"I think we won't need to deal with Master Wu anymore."

Thor blinked and said.

Then, without waiting for questions, he began explaining the situation.

"Jiang Ming gave me five sets of secret techniques from the Thunder lineage, each stored in an Auxiliary optical computer. Master Wu is inside one of those Auxiliary optical computers, and he congratulated me on becoming Kabu World Lord's Disciple."

Kabu World Lord was the Thunder World Lord's name.

Hearing Thor say this, Luo Feng and Hong were both stunned.

"Master Wu?"

Could that perverted intelligent life's true body be one of those five Auxiliary optical computers?

Hearing this, Jiang Ming inwardly praised Master Wu's good fortune.

"Since that's the case, let's go."

With the matter settled, Jiang Ming said.

"Mm."

Just as Jiang Ming's group walked out of the World within a World's entrance, they saw someone.

A young man dressed in black battle armor, with a fair face.

"Oh? You actually dared to show up here. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Jiang Ming said coldly upon seeing the newcomer.

When Ninth Prince Brolyn saw Jiang Ming, he immediately bowed, then said, "What I did before was indeed an unforgivable mistake. To express my apology, I sold all the assets under my name and obtained wealth worth 38 Chaos Units. I am willing to use this wealth in exchange for God's forgiveness."

Brolyn's expression was sincere, and his words were sufficiently earnest as well.

"Oh? 38 Chaos Units? You have that much money?"

Even for a prince, it would already be remarkable for a Stellar-level prince to possess one or two Chaos Units of wealth. Even if Brolyn's maternal family was powerful, it should not be much more than that.

Thirty-eight Chaos Units was not something Brolyn should have been able to produce.

"I obtained this wealth only after begging my grandfather. Please accept it."

Brolyn had not died in that battle. Protected by the safe house, he had survived.

But he felt that he would have been better off dying in that battle. Jiang Ming's terror had surpassed his imagination—such talent, and an immortal backing as well.

His future potential was limitless, so this time Brolyn had truly come in sincerity.

Seeing Brolyn, an idea suddenly came to Jiang Ming.

As a prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, Jiang Ming would not kill him unless absolutely necessary.

Because Earth lay within the Silver Blue Empire, and the Silver Blue Empire was a subordinate state of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

With Marquis Flame Abyss backing him, Jiang Ming had no reason to fear the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, but Earth did.

That was also the reason Brolyn could still stand here and speak to him.

But not being able to kill him did not mean Jiang Ming would forgive him.

"I'll accept your apology. As long as you help me with one more thing, we'll consider this matter settled."

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Brolyn was instantly overjoyed. He had not expected the matter to be resolved so easily.

"What is it?"

Whatever Jiang Ming wanted done was certainly no simple matter, but as long as it could dissolve the enmity between them, he was willing to do it.

"The greatest treasure I obtained in the World within a World within Kabu World Lord's realm was the crystal ball inheritance containing a complete set of space secret techniques."

When Jiang Ming said this, envy appeared in Brolyn's eyes as well.

Legend had it that Kabu World Lord had received an immortal inheritance. This complete set of space secret techniques represented secret techniques formed through an analysis of all the Space Origin Laws.

"But I have an immortal inheritance as well, so these space secret techniques are useless to me. Therefore, I intend to sell them. If you can help me find a good buyer, then the grudge between us will be wiped clean."

Jiang Ming said to Brolyn.

He knew that this so-called complete set of space secret techniques was actually a scam. There was nothing inside at all, only a mocking message from Kabu World Lord.

Yet even knowing this, Jiang Ming had not warned Luo Feng and the others. After all, the entire treasure hoard was now in his hands.

Thunder Stones were not worth much anyway; trading them away was no big deal.

After obtaining that so-called "secret technique," Jiang Ming had originally planned to set it aside. But after seeing Brolyn, he felt it could still serve one last useful purpose.

When it came to someone like Brolyn, who had offended him, Jiang Ming felt no guilt whatsoever about scamming him.

"What? You want to sell it?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's plan, Brolyn was utterly stunned. It was an immortal secret technique!

But on second thought, he understood. Jiang Ming had a living immortal Teacher, so it was perfectly understandable that he did not care about a single immortal secret technique.

With that thought, Brolyn immediately guaranteed it.

"No problem. I can definitely find the most suitable buyer."

Even as merely an intermediary in the sale of an immortal secret technique, Brolyn could gain considerable benefits.

Those benefits might even make up for his losses this time. Thinking of that, the pain in Brolyn's heart eased considerably.

"Mm. The sooner, the better."

After responding in a low voice, Jiang Ming left with his people.

"That kid Jiang Ming is ruthless. Learn from him. Since Thor obtained Thunder World Lord's inheritance, that so-called space secret technique definitely isn't real.

"He must have realized that, which was why he asked that prince to find him a buyer."

While flying, Babata's voice sounded in Luo Feng's mind.

Even without Babata saying so, Luo Feng had more or less figured out the reason.

By then, most of the Stellar-level warriors in Thunder World had already left. Jiang Ming's battle had shattered their fighting spirit, and they no longer held any fantasies about the treasures in the World within a World.

Yet as they departed, countless gazes gathered at the entrance to Thunder World.
