Natsume's demands were simple.
First: ten high-grade life crystals.
Second: ten high-grade fel energy crystals.
Third: cede an area with a diameter of one hundred light-years within the [Fallen God Starfield].
The first two conditions were manageable.
A single life crystal or fel energy crystal was worth around two million Gold Coins, about the same as a third-tier [Chakra Fruit].
Altogether, they only came to forty million Gold Coins.
That was equivalent to a low-to-mid-quality [Demigod Artifact].
For [Jashin], while it was no small amount, it was not unbearably painful.

"Can you change the condition?"
Natsume glanced at Jashin and replied calmly:
"Sure."
"Then make it two hundred high-quality [Fel
