I Couldn't Do Anything About It Either

The Divine Envoy's expression was utterly grim.

His cheeks felt like they were burning, as though someone had slapped him hard several times.

Just a few minutes ago, he'd confidently declared that Ye Yu was going to lose.

But now, the result before his eyes was undeniably a harsh slap in the face.

The Divine Envoy was astonished, but he couldn't help feeling deeply embarrassed.

The onlookers around them, however, didn't notice his expression.

At that moment, they were all completely dumbfounded!

Ye Yu hadn't appeared yet. Clearly, he was still in his Divine Domain, collecting the spoils of the battle.

By now, no one doubted the outcome.

Ma Baoguo hadn't just lost—he'd lost his life!

Only Xiao Gui excitedly pumped his fist.

"Ye Yu, you really are something!"

"You're finally worthy of being my opponent, Xiao Gui!"

"In this whole world, I'm the only one worthy of hunting you!"

Inside the Divine Domain.

The players were jubilant.

The rewards for the Story Event had finally been handed out.

Even the player who received the least among the hundred or so players had earned 1,200 Contribution points.

As for players like Xiong Da, who'd performed exceptionally well during the Story Event, they'd earned well over a thousand Contribution points and made a fortune.

Of course, the most ridiculous performers were Gu Du, Bao Lao Er, Cannot Eat Peach, and King Grey Wolf.

King Grey Wolf, who'd developed a super-poison, had made a spectacular showing in the Story Event and had ranked fourth on the system's leaderboard!

Gu Du had been the overall commander of the event and had contributed enormously as well.

Bao Lao Er had earned a huge number of points by cursing Ma Baoguo until he threw up blood.

He and Gu Du were tied for second place on the leaderboard.

And at the very top of the leaderboard was none other than Cannot Eat Peach.

That guy had become a master con artist, nearly tricking Ma Baoguo into walking with a limp.

More importantly, his sneak attack had left Ma Baoguo poisoned.

So, according to the system's assessment, he'd contributed the most to the Story Event.

Cannot Eat Peach, Gu Du, Bao Lao Er, and the others had all earned several thousand Contribution points, making them some of the richest players in Immortal Path.

At the moment, Immortal Path still hadn't introduced a currency system.

Contribution points were effectively the only hard currency in circulation.

"Immortal Path is still far too crude overall!"

"For the players, Contribution points are both experience points and currency."

"That's a complete mess."

Watching the jubilant scene before him, Ye Yu shook his head.

After giving it some thought, he instructed the system.

"System, design a game currency system and an experience point system for me!"

Before, Ye Yu hadn't had enough Divine Power of his own to improve Immortal Path.

Now that he'd killed Ma Baoguo, he'd gained a huge amount of Divine Power.

Naturally, he wanted to get all these systems in order.

After all, his Divine Domain was the foundation, and those Sand sculpture players were the key!

"Got it, host!"

"Once the system has improved the currency and experience point systems, it will inform the players through an in-game announcement!"

Ye Yu nodded.

He wasn't good with these details, so he could leave them to the system.

After making these arrangements, Ye Yu left his Divine Domain.

Before leaving, he took another look at his Character Interface.

There was no denying that Ye Yu had made a fortune this time.

Not only had his Divine Domain expanded by a full 800 square kilometers, but his Divine Spark had also risen from weak to strong!

He'd also gained Ma Baoguo's Primordial God Divine Title and his affinity with the Scorpion Lion Race.

That meant Ye Yu could now easily earn the goodwill of the Scorpion Lion Race.

So, in the World of Gods, hunting was the way to go!

Arbor God Temple.

Ye Yu's figure slowly appeared.

When the Divine Envoy and the onlookers saw Ye Yu casually walking down from the Divine War Stage, complicated expressions appeared on all their faces.

The atmosphere was rather subdued.

After a long while, the Divine Envoy finally asked in a hollow voice,

"How did you do it?"

Ye Yu spread his hands and looked puzzled.

"Maybe I was just lucky!"

At that, the Divine Envoy's face instantly darkened.

"You..."

He opened his mouth, as if about to scold Ye Yu, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

Ye Yu smiled when he saw this.

"Lord Divine Envoy, I'm just a piece of trash who awakened a Divine Domain of one square kilometer!"

"Before the Divine War, I'd already accepted my fate!"

"But who could've guessed that Ma Baoguo would suddenly have a seizure during the Divine War? He couldn't catch his breath and just dropped dead!"

"What could I do? I couldn't do anything about it either!"

Hearing Ye Yu's words, the onlookers around him couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.

Was Ye Yu crazy?

Was it really wise to mock the Divine Envoy so sarcastically?

The Divine Envoy's face turned from red to green.

He gave Ye Yu a long, hard look.

"Fine. You're very good!"

"Thank you, Lord Divine Envoy!"

Ye Yu smiled brightly.

Then he asked,

"Lord Divine Envoy, Ma Baoguo died of a seizure during this Divine War. His death won't be blamed on me, will it?"

If anyone was injured or killed in a Divine War meant to be a friendly spar, it was technically against the rules.

Ma Baoguo had dared to disregard the rules without restraint only because he was relying on his talent!

Ye Yu didn't want this to cause him any trouble.

After all, the Divine Envoy standing before him didn't look like a particularly broad-minded man.

That was why he'd deliberately needled the Divine Envoy, to make him state his position in front of everyone.

Sure enough, when the Divine Envoy heard Ye Yu's question, his cheek twitched a few times.

"Of course not!"

"You've already absorbed Ma Baoguo's Divine Spark and become the second-youngest genius in Arbor God City!"

"What could a lowly Divine Envoy like me possibly do to you?"

There was a trace of resentment in the Divine Envoy's voice.

His expression was awful.

This Divine War hadn't just made him lose face.

He'd also taken Ma Baoguo's side earlier, which had completely soured his relationship with Ye Yu!

All things considered, he'd taken a tremendous loss!
