Golden Legend!

"Of course, we weren't asking you to work for nothing. This is a modest gift we prepared. Consider it a token of goodwill."

The Sky Azure Bull Python also knew that asking someone to do work required payment, so he had the Titan Giant Ape bring out all the wealth they had accumulated over the years.

"Good heavens! Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones, Ten Thousand Year Spirit Herbs, and rare materials! This is practically worth the rewards from dozens of Purple Chests!"

"They really went all out to win Gu Zhi over! These Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are seriously loaded!"

"Good thing it wasn't given to Tang San! It should go to Gu Zhi! At least Gu Zhi will repay them! If they gave it to Tang San, I don't even know how unbearably smug Tang Buddha would become!"

"Exactly! Giving it to Gu Zhi earns his sincere protection! Giving it to Tang San would only get them a line like, 'It's only right.' Just think about how Tang San stripped Dugu Bo's medicinal garden clean!"

"Just hearing that makes me mad! Dugu Bo treated Tang San with utter sincerity! Yet Tang Buddha couldn't even bear to give Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, a single resource! I refuse to believe Dugu Yan's talent isn't enough to earn her even a godhood!"

"Yeah! Tang Buddha even remembered to bring Gangzi a spirit herb! Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan got absolutely nothing!"

The barrage listed Tang San's sins one by one, leaving the women present shaken again and again.

"That Tang San really deserved to die!"

Far away at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan nearly ground her silver teeth to dust upon seeing the barrage. She immediately sent a message to her grandfather, Dugu Bo, telling the old man never to befriend anyone named Tang San in the future!

"Sister Yan! Is what the barrage says true? Then you all need to watch out for this Tang San!"

Ye Lingling, standing beside Dugu Yan, also felt indignant on behalf of Dugu Yan's family. That hypocrite Tang San truly did not deserve Senior Dugu Bo's preferential treatment!

"Whether it's true or not, I've already sent Grandpa a message. From now on, Tang San can forget about receiving any preferential treatment from the Dugu family!"

After calming herself, Dugu Yan silently committed the matter to memory and continued watching Gu Zhi's situation.

"That really is quite a generous offer... Aren't you afraid I'll take these things and go back on my word?"

These items were quite valuable even to Gu Zhi, but he was puzzled. This was clearly their first meeting, so why did Xiao Wu and the other two trust him so much?

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape looked toward Xiao Wu and said without hesitation, "I trust Sister Xiao Wu's judgment!"

Xiao Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing again and said with great seriousness, "I trust Zhuqing's choice!"

As if sensing something, Zhu Zhuqing looked over from afar. Yet she was looking at Gu Zhi. There was light in her eyes, as though she were saying, "I trust you!"

"I'm going to cry! Baby Zhuqing loves him so much!"

"Although Zhu Zhuqing's feelings seem a little out of nowhere! This pairing is really too adorable!"

"I'll raise the banner for Gu Zhi and Zhuqing forever! May the banner never fall! May Gu Zhi and Zhuqing grow old together!"

"Don't be like this! What about Sister Liu? When you're young, you don't know how wonderful an older sister is, and mistake Zhuqing for a treasure!"

"No! Sister Liu came at just the right time! The three of them living happily together is more important than anything!"

"No! What about my Baby Yiran? My Baby Yiran is wonderful too!"

"Good heavens! Just take them all! Add Ning Rongrong and Wang Qiu'er too! No, give Xiao Wu to Gu Zhi as well!"

"Why does Gu Zhi get all the good stuff? But I want to see how this turns out too?"

"The person above! You're not alone! Same here!"

As "Same here" flooded the screen in an intense barrage, the women's mindsets began to change as well.

Ning Rongrong and Meng Yiran mostly didn't mind, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had complicated emotions, Liu Erlong merely smiled softly, while Wang Qiu'er wanted to snort but could not find anyone to direct it at.

"Since that's the case, then I'll gladly accept."

With things having reached this point, Gu Zhi could hardly refuse. For one, he did want these treasures. For another, he could take the opportunity later to obtain the Gold Chest beneath the Sky Azure Bull Python. Why not?

"I also have some things to give you. They can be used for protection, and you can contact me anytime if something happens. I accept your goodwill, and in the future, I will naturally protect Xiao Wu until her wish is fulfilled. Additionally, I can do three things for you, so long as they are within my abilities."

Gu Zhi was not someone who only took without giving. Xiao Wu and the other two had invested so much, so he needed to show some sincerity as well.

He took out a pile of things he had no immediate use for and gave them to Xiao Wu and the Sky Azure Bull Python brothers. Gu Zhi also promised to secretly protect Xiao Wu and do three things for them.

"Then from now on, you will forever be our friend! If you ever need us in the future, just come find Sister Xiao Wu!"

Only then did the Sky Azure Bull Python truly acknowledge Gu Zhi from the bottom of his heart. Even the Titan Giant Ape's attitude became friendlier, feeling that this human was worth befriending.

"Thank you!"

Xiao Wu secretly sighed in relief. With Gu Zhi's promise, Da Ming and Er Ming's futures would at least no longer be tragic. She had also finally found a chance to establish a connection with Gu Zhi. From now on, she would have a place when it came to sharing rewards.

"Ahem... Can I cultivate here for a while?"

With the serious matter settled, Gu Zhi could no longer wait to open the Gold Chest before him. The thing had been swaying in front of him the whole time, making him itch with impatience.

"Please, go ahead. It just so happens that I'll take Zhuqing and the others to find suitable Soul Beasts for their Soul Rings."

Seeing Gu Zhi's expression, the women did not even need the barrage to explain that he must have discovered the Gold Chest. He had remained completely unfazed even upon seeing Purple Chests, so only a Gold Chest could make Gu Zhi lose his composure like this.

As for Xiao Wu saying she would take Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran to find Soul Beasts, that was merely an excuse. Gu Zhi was about to open a Gold Chest. Who would leave at such a crucial moment?

"It's here! It's here! The Gold Chest is finally being opened! Historians, get ready to record this!"

"The historians are in position! Let's see what rewards are inside the Gold Chest together!"

"Gold Chest opened! Total rewards: Attack +100, Speed +100, Endurance +100, Spiritual Power +100, Physical Strength +100, Physical Constitution +100, Skill Proficiency +100, Soul Ring Age +10,000, Soul Skill Damage +100, Spirit Bone Age +10,000, Mid-grade Spirit Talisman x50, Mid-grade Formation x25, Mid-grade Pills x50, Rare Materials x100, Mid-grade Cultivation Method x5, Mid-grade Movement Technique x5, Mid-grade Immortal Art x5, Mid-grade Magical Artifact x5, Mid-grade Soul Tool x5, all attributes increased by 10%, Law Seed x1, Law Power x20, God-given Spirit Ring x1, Soul Power Cultivation +5, Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bone x1..."

"Damn! This is what a true bumper harvest looks like! One Gold Chest is richer than dozens of Purple Chests!"

"Did you see that? A Law Seed and Law Power! Even god-level powerhouses might not obtain these system abilities!"

"Gu Zhi really hit the jackpot this time! With Law Power, forget being invincible among those at the same level! He can even challenge opponents above his level!"

"Law Power at four rings? Strongest Deity System, don't be so outrageous!"

When they saw the rewards, the barrage directly acted out Gu Zhi's inner thoughts.

These were the rewards the Strongest Deity System was supposed to give!
