Zhukun laughed heartily, brimming with confidence. When it came to Heavenly Flames, as long as they were not among the top three, he was confident he could easily obtain them. He was even confident he could acquire the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame inherited by the Gu Clan.
Ren said, "Three Thousand Burning Flame is connected to the stars and is of great use to me. Aside from the flame, I also need you to protect the empire I established!"
"An empire?" Zhukun was even more surprised, somewhat unable to make sense of it. Looking at Ren, he asked, "What empire? With your strength, you actually went and established an empire? Don't you know that without bloodline ties, it will ultimately be difficult to achieve anything substantial?"
Ren shook his head. "I established the empire solely for cultivation. However, the longer the empire endures, the greater the benefits to me will be.

Though the unified Northwest Continent is barren, gathering all of its resources together will inevitably attract the envy of those Dou God Clans. Therefore, I hope for the protection of your Ancient Void Dragon Clan!"
Hearing this, Zhukun fell silent before saying, "I am even more puzzled! With your strength, why would you need the protection of the Ancient Void Dragons?"
