Silvermoon's Gift

Hodan was overjoyed to hear the Silvermoon Fiend was willing to call him a brother. Although this might have been because the Silvermoon Fiend was pleased that Hodan had brought back the Purple Blood Soft Sword, there could have been other reasons as well. However, as long as there was a good start, Hodan believed he would truly become brothers with the Silvermoon Fiend in the end.

Since the Silvermoon Fiend had acknowledged Hodan as a brother, as a Seven-Star Fiend and the city lord of Silvermoon City, he was not a stingy person. He directly tossed a Space Ring containing one hundred billion Inkstones to Hodan.

Hodan took the Space Ring and swept his divine sense inside. Good heavens, it was densely packed with Azure Stone slabs. One had to know that a single Azure Stone slab was worth one hundred thousand Inkstones, and there were one million of them in here. Hodan had never seen so much wealth in his life; the most expensive house in Silvermoon City was only worth a little over six hundred million Inkstones, and of course, the Silvermoon Fiend's city lord mansion could not be counted in that.

Even if Hodan bought one hundred houses in Silvermoon City, he would still have over thirty billion in wealth. If this wealth were converted into cultivation resources, it would definitely be enough for him to cultivate to the High-God realm. Of course, reaching the Paragon level required more than just resources; it also required sufficient comprehension, opportunity, and so on. A strong soul only allowed one to better comprehend and fuse profound mysteries; it did not guarantee one would become a Paragon.

Those who could become Paragons were all geniuses with immense perseverance and determination. A Paragon was the crystallization of miracles, formed by countless miracles condensed together. It could be said that if there were no Chief Sovereigns in this world, then this world would be the domain of Paragons; that was the true peak of the gods.

Across countless material planes, plus the various divine planes and higher planes, there were only about thirty known Paragons. Averaged out, that was less than three per divine plane, so one could imagine the difficulty of reaching the Paragon level.

After giving Hodan the Inkstones, the Silvermoon Fiend thought for a moment, then handed Hodan a token and said, "This is my city lord mansion token. You can use it to enter and exit the mansion. If you have time, feel free to come over as a guest."

The Silvermoon Fiend truly intended to promote the young man before him. Perhaps because Hodan had brought back the Purple Blood Soft Sword, the Silvermoon Fiend found him very pleasing to the eye.

After giving Hodan the token, the Silvermoon Fiend asked, "Little brother, what are your plans with this wealth? I suggest you don't leave the city for now. Even though I have given the order, it is better to wait until the storm passes before you head out."

There were no airtight walls in the world. Although the Silvermoon Fiend had issued strict orders, it was obvious that Hodan had gone to sell the weapon of the Purple Blood Fiend. This necessitated precautions against those with ulterior motives; after all, the value of an Asura's weapon was enough to make a great clan take that risk.

Hodan had no plans to leave the city anyway. He told the Silvermoon Fiend that he wanted to purchase some Soul Golden Beads in Silvermoon City, then buy a house to cultivate in seclusion, and wait until his term as a Plane Overseer ended before making further plans. As someone from the Zhonghua Family, not having a place that truly belonged to him made Hodan feel quite uneasy. He intended to buy a house of his own in Silvermoon City. Renting was always temporary; when you ran out of money, you would be kicked out.

The Silvermoon Fiend was surprised to hear that Hodan was actually a Plane Overseer. Unless it was a particularly small plane, a Plane Overseer had to have at least the cultivation of a Mid-God, and the Fate God Clone before him was indeed at the Mid-God level.

This meant that Hodan had at least two divine clones. Having multiple divine clones meant stronger survival capabilities, more possibilities, and a better chance of reaching the peak. Moreover, those who could serve as Plane Overseers usually had significant connections within the Chief Sovereign army system. Suddenly, the Silvermoon Fiend became quite interested in this little brother he had casually acknowledged.

When the Silvermoon Fiend learned that Hodan was actually a member of the Renars Clan, his expression became quite interesting. The Eight Great Clans crossing planes to hunt down members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan was a huge affair; the entire divine world and the higher planes knew about it. The Eight Great Clans had many Seven-Star Fiends and even Asura-level powerhouses. As a Seven-Star Fiend, he really didn't amount to much in front of a great clan. Although this didn't have much to do with Hodan, Hodan was, after all, a member of the Eight Great Clans.

If he could get to know people from the Eight Great Clans through Hodan and expand his own network, that would be even better. As a Seven-Star Fiend, the Silvermoon Fiend also wanted to advance further; only by dealing with people at a higher level could he achieve sufficient growth.

Thinking of this, the Silvermoon Fiend became even more enthusiastic. He said to Hodan, "You don't need to purchase Soul Golden Beads. I have some here that I no longer need, as my soul reached the limit of a High-God long ago. I'll just give them all to you." After saying this, he handed another Space Ring to Hodan.

Hodan didn't say anything and directly accepted the ring; at worst, he would just pay him back later. Hodan still wanted to purchase a large quantity of Soul Golden Beads through the Silvermoon Fiend's channels.

Hodan was currently in extreme need of Soul Golden Beads. His Saint-level original body and Fate God Clone were waiting for Soul Golden Beads to strengthen their souls. Having experienced the cultivation speed of a perfected soul, Hodan could no longer tolerate that slow pace of cultivation. He had long been hoping to buy more Soul Golden Beads to strengthen his soul, but his pockets were empty.

Hodan swept his divine sense and found about three or four thousand Soul Golden Beads inside, but he knew this was not enough. His Fate God Clone had never absorbed Soul Golden Beads to strengthen itself. From the time he cultivated the Fate God Clone until now, only a few years had passed, and his soul had always been at its lowest state. To completely fill his soul, he would need at least twenty or thirty thousand Soul Golden Beads.

Furthermore, Hodan also planned to cultivate the Destruction Rules and needed to prepare resources for that as well. Hodan's vision was to cultivate divine clones for all four rules. He always felt that the four rules were a cycle, and in any world or mythology, the cycle was one of the supreme powers.

To cultivate four rule-based clones would require a massive amount of resources.

Don't look at the fact that his Thunder God Clone only absorbed one hundred Soul Golden Beads to reach soul perfection; that was because Hodan had cultivated for a long time, slowly absorbing Amethyst and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to strengthen himself. He had spent over ten thousand years, and yet it still wasn't perfect; it took one hundred Soul Golden Beads to reach Mid-God soul perfection.

Hodan's aptitude before his transmigration wasn't great either; he just relied on time to slowly grind away. He had had a pair of decent parents, but they died at the hands of Elder Jiawei of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Now, Hodan could only rely on himself.

Fortunately, the aptitude of the body he possessed after his transmigration was quite good. In just a few years, he had independently cultivated a Fate God Clone and reached the Mid-God realm.

"As for a house, I bought one before I became the city lord. Now that I live in the city lord mansion, I don't need it, so I'll just give it to you."

Hodan thanked the Silvermoon Fiend but still insisted on paying him, and he also wanted to purchase an additional one hundred thousand Soul Golden Beads. He then paid the Silvermoon Fiend for everything, including the Soul Golden Beads he had just received.

After all, one Soul Golden Bead cost one hundred thousand Inkstones, so one hundred thousand would cost ten billion. Since Hodan had the money, he didn't want to owe the Silvermoon Fiend this favor, so he paid him directly; after all, favors had to be repaid. Included in the payment was the money for the house. Hodan didn't know how much it was worth, so he just gave him one billion. At current Silvermoon City housing prices, even the most expensive house would be covered.
