529. Zheng Zha: Oh My, It Smells So Good

Thinking about this, Zheng Zha didn't feel happy at all; instead, he became increasingly depressed and nervous.

Even the best treasure is useless if you're not alive to use it.

Is this an ordinary matter?

This is a major event for the Main God Space. Whether it's the Main God Space or this mysterious and unpredictable godfather—cough, cough— Ming Yanwei's godfather—what are we compared to them?

They're someone who can travel between worlds at will; even a fool could tell they're something extraordinary.

Needless to say, the Main God Space has nurtured countless reincarnators like a breeding ground for poison, allowing them to traverse countless worlds without restraint and exchange for inexhaustible treasures.

Such beings are on a completely different level from the gods and immortals in the Myth and legends.

Caught between these two figures, Zheng Zha felt he could find a prime spot in advance.

Perhaps it won't even be suitable as a feng shui treasure land?

Zheng Zha gave a self-deprecating laugh, feeling extremely depressed.

Li Hao glanced at Zheng Zha and the other two.

Zheng Zha looked somber, Zhan Lan was full of anticipation and excitement, while Chu Xuan remained calm as always, revealing the three of them to have completely different moods and states of mind.

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "You have proven your potential and are qualified to receive my funding. Tell me your thoughts and what you want."

Chu Xuan decisively replied, "I need time, and a better cultivation method."

Zheng Zha came to his senses.

He looked at Chu Xuan with some surprise.

time?

However, he then realized that what the Main God Space lacked most was undoubtedly enough time.

Whether it's the time spent resting in the Main God Space or venturing into various dungeon worlds, it all gives one a sense of urgency, as if life and death hang by a thread. The time spent resting in the Main God Space is simply insufficient for cultivation, or even for adjusting one's mindset.

Zheng Zha already had a deep understanding of this.

He was just a little confused. Cultivating techniques was one thing, but time?

Even legendary gods and immortals couldn't control time, could they?

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised by Chu Xuan's idea.

He could understand cultivation methods; although the Main God Space had a considerable number of cultivation methods, and the prices weren't particularly expensive, Ming Yanwei had already said that the cultivation methods in the Main God Space were mostly low to mid-level, and there weren't many truly top-tier cultivation methods.

As for whether it's suitable for you to cultivate, that depends even more on fate.

Unless you're willing to spend a fortune to directly exchange cultivation points from the Main God Space, you'll have to bear the risk of exchanging for a cultivation manual that may not be suitable for you.

Li Hao slowly said, "I can give you ten years of peace, as well as a celestial scripture. According to the standards of the Main God Space, the celestial scripture is a key that can directly unlock the fifth-order Gene Lock."

Chu Xuan's pupils contracted.

The key to unlocking the fifth-order Gene Lock!

Having gone through several life-and-death cycles, Chu Xuan was no longer the Little White he once was, and he deeply understood the difference between the early and later stages of the Gene Lock power.

Simply put, the initial gap is a difference where one plus one equals two.

However, starting from the fourth-order Gene Lock, the difference between each minor realm is no longer one plus one, but nine, or even more.

Fifth tier!

In the Main God Space, it signifies Saint and immortal power!

Chu Xuan didn't know the true situation of the fifth tier, but he knew how terrifying the power of the fifth tier was in the Main God Space.

Not only Chu Xuan knew this, but Zheng Zha understood it as well.

Upon hearing Li Hao's promise, Zheng Zha couldn't help but gasp, looking at him with a face full of shock.

Damn, he really is Ruthless One who dares to go toe-to-toe with the main god. Ten years of peace means that he has the ability to shield himself from the power of the main god.

The immortal scripture that leads directly to the fifth-order Gene Lock —that's the key to the fifth order!

Fifth Rank, the legendary realm of Saint!

I

Zheng Zha suddenly felt that although he might face a great crisis in the future, the temptations in front of him were irresistible.

Mmm, it smells delicious.

No matter what dangers lie ahead, what you have in your hands is the most real thing. Besides, even without this Ruthless One who dared to challenge the Supreme God, I don't know which reincarnation mission I might die in.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Zheng Zha quickly made a decision.

One word: Delicious.

Two words: Delicious!

Three words: Godfather is good.

Zheng Zha looked at Li Hao with burning eyes. If Chu Xuan hadn't remained silent, he would have been tempted to agree.

However, Chu Xuan was Chu Xuan after all, and he was not swayed by the temptations before him.

His eyes flickered, and he asked firmly, "What do I need to give in return?"

In exchanges, especially unequal exchanges, the greater the temptation, the more one must give up.

Chu Xuan always believed in this principle and was convinced that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

Most importantly, he didn't know what role he played on Li Hao's chessboard—was he a dispensable piece, or a piece with some use and potential for development?

As for being the protagonist of this game, Chu Xuan never even considered it.

He is confident, but not arrogant.

At least Chu Xuan wouldn't believe that Li Hao's grand plan would only involve Ming Yanwei as a pawn.

A man who dares to challenge the gods would put all his bets on a naive, inexperienced girl who hasn't been through the trials of life. Don't be ridiculous.

Perhaps this foolish, naive girl is just a pawn used to attract the attention of the main god.

After all, anyone who has been toughened up by society wouldn't show so many flaws, would they?

Therefore, this man must have a very large plan, a detailed and meticulous plan specifically targeting the Main God. However, how many pawns did he plant in the Main God Space, how did he manage to travel through time and space at will, and what did he want to obtain from the Main God Space?

Furthermore, is he the mastermind behind this plan, or one of its initiators?

Behind him, is there an even greater, more unfathomable force?

After labeling Li Hao with numerous tags such as cunning, Coldblood, and ruthless, Chu Xuan couldn't help but start to ponder Li Hao's true purpose and what force was plotting against the Main God Space.

Of course, the most important thing is what he himself can gain from this upheaval!

This is the key point Chu Xuan is considering.

Li Hao remained silent, lost in thought.

He was also thinking about how to put on a show of bravado.

Li Hao had a general idea of Chu Xuan's thoughts.

In short, the other party believes they have a much larger plan, Ming Yanwei is just one part of it. They might even suspect that they have an immense power behind them, a vast force specifically targeting the Main God Space.

Based on this, the question becomes how to turn Chu Xuan into an important pawn in the fight against the main god, while also making him realize his unfathomable power.

Li Hao hesitated for two seconds, then said calmly, "What you can give is not about your promises, but about whether you can still be alive and how much you can grow when I need you."

Chu Xuan lowered his head slightly, then nodded.

He said, "That makes a lot of sense. In other words, I don't need to give anything now, no, I only need to give up my future to get what I want."

Li Hao laughed and said, "Isn't this a very interesting investment? A tiny investment, yet it can bring huge returns."

Chu Xuan's eyes flickered.

Is it a negligible investment?

The key to unlocking the fifth-order Gene Lock is merely a trivial investment in the eyes of such a person; just how powerful is he?

Zheng Zha was already speechless.

He looked at Li Hao with a speechless expression.

Okay, fine, you're the boss, so we won't interrupt.

The immortal scripture that can unlock the fifth-order Gene Lock is merely a trivial investment in your eyes. What else can I say, or refute?

Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan expectantly.

After a brief silence, Chu Xuan readily agreed.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Very good. I will bestow upon you a copy of the <Scripture of All Beings>, which can help you achieve the fifth-order Gene Lock. As for ten years of peace..."

Zheng Zha's eyes widened, and suppressing his excitement, he exclaimed, "Me too! I have one too!"

Li Hao laughed inwardly.

Nonsense, we can't do without you even if Chu Xuan is gone.

You are the reincarnation of Pangu's primordial spirit; the effects of cultivating the <Scripture of All Beings> far surpass those of billions of living beings. Whether I can break through to a higher realm depends on you.

Li Hao was in a good mood and casually said, "You, spare my head."

Zheng Zha's expression stiffened.

I'll scratch my head!

Dude, isn't what you said a bit too much?

I admit I'm not as smart as Chu Xuan; I'm a little lacking in intelligence.

Ahem, okay, this "one" might be a little too big, it's two. But if you say I'm just a liar, I won't accept that.

Why should I, Zheng Zha, only be a janitor?

Li Hao glanced at Zheng Zha and said calmly, "If you're not happy, I can erase your memory and send you back."

Zheng Zha quickly replied, "How could that be? Chu Xuan and I are teammates, partners who have gone through thick and thin together. I absolutely cannot watch Chu Xuan jump in alone in such a dangerous situation. Sharing joys and sorrows is the tradition of our Central Continent Team. I am determined and prepared to walk with Chu Xuan into the future."

Well, fine, let's just let him have his way. We'll talk about the benefits later.

This is the key to unlocking the fifth-order Gene Lock!

Zheng Zha's expression was resolute, as if he were reciting a sacred oath under the red flag, which made Chu Xuan unable to help but turn his head to look at him.

His gaze was deep, filled with the same emotion.

Shameless!

Zhan Lan wished she could cover her face with her hands to show that she didn't know Zheng Zha.

But there is something even more important now: ensuring that the fine traditions of the Central Continent Team are passed down and protected.

Zhan Lan followed closely behind, saying urgently, "I can do it too."

Li Hao nodded calmly, inwardly bursting with joy.

Good children, you will feel the deep care from the group leader.

It's just a magic scripture; someone as generous as me as the group admin wouldn't give it to you.

Of course, this isn't about finding a cauldron to refine Pangu's essence for myself; it's simply about being helpful. Yes, this group admin is just that kind of kind person.

Sigh, this group admin, always eager to help others, just can't shake this habit of spreading love.

Li Hao was overjoyed and casually pointed at the void.

The Scripture of All Beings!

A crimson-gold ray of light, like a swimming dragon, split into three and entered the brows of the three people. Upon closer inspection, one could discover that the three golden dragons were composed of countless mysterious divine patterns, as if they were expounding the most essential mysteries of heaven and earth.
