In the void of the universe, Dongguan slowly awoke.
"You already realized it was an illusion, didn't you?"
As soon as he woke, he saw a figure wreathed in black currents staring coldly at him.
"Don't bother denying it. In consideration of your handing over that Cause-and-Effect Secret Pattern Diagram school inheritance, you may leave."
Before Dongguan could speak, the figure left those words behind and vanished without a trace.
Void True Demon God? Dongguan felt somewhat unnerved, then puzzled. He's just letting me go?
He had originally guessed that Myriad-Heart Man had used some special means to plunge him into an illusion realm. At first, it had never occurred to him that a Universe Strongest One had acted.
On reflection, though, it made sense that someone capable of directly constructing such a realistic illusion realm would be a Universe Strongest One.
As for the Cause-and-Effect Secret Patterns, they could actually count as payment.
Sharing the knowledge did not mean he would no longer have it himself.
He had already been prepared to divulge it when he first refined the Cause-and-Effect Demon Weapons.
Next, should I keep capturing that fellow, or go into seclusion first? Dongguan hesitated.
So far, he had already captured several hundred, worth several thousand Glory Points-enough to exchange for several dozen inheritance opportunities.
Aside from him, the others had captured somewhat more than he had, owing to their sheer numbers.
Before he fell into the illusion realm, the total number of targets captured and suppressed by the Ancestral God School had already approached two thousand, nearly a fifth of the total.
A year and a half had passed. He estimated that in ten years, twenty at most, Myriad-Heart Man would be completely dealt with.
Unless something changed.
Several dozen inheritance opportunities were more or less enough.
