People of the Great Thousand World loved excitement. Even a grave matter like the ownership of the "Eternal Undying Body," which could determine how far a faction would develop in the future, could be turned into entertainment. Some enterprising people had already opened betting pools.
On the day the Eternal Assembly officially began, the central mountain of Eternal City was packed with people. Countless figures floated in the air, gazing solemnly at the ancient tower atop the mountain.
"Come on, place your bets! Betting closes soon, so hurry if you want to play!"
"Take a gamble and win resources that could push you up an entire rank!"
"They say the 'Eternal Undying Body' has already begun to stir. Maybe there won't be another Eternal Assembly after this, so don't leave any regrets... Put down something, no matter how little, and test your judgment."
The one shouting was an Upper Earthly Sovereign... He did not think such conduct beneath his status in the slightest. Making money was nothing to be ashamed of.
Anyone who could come to the center of Eternal City to watch the Eternal Assembly was an expert. Setting up a betting pool in a place like this required more than a few tricks.

We can afford to pay... Besides, there aren't many people in the Great Thousand World these days who would dare default on what they owe you."
Mu Chen smiled faintly
