The conch shell is the color of the ocean, with intricate patterns appearing and disappearing on its surface.
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows. " The Magic Conch?!"
Echo asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Qin Ze was speechless. "So that's really what it's called."
Echo explained, "Aim the Magic Conch at the food you prepared for me, then blow on it, and I'll be able to eat it."
Qin Ze carefully examined the conch shell inside and out, but found nothing unusual about it.
The only mysterious aspect lies in the patterns on its surface, which seem to contain some kind of power derived from rules.
Echo said to herself, "I'm not picky about food, as long as it's edible, preferably cooked."
Qin Ze now understood the intention behind the conch shell that Echo at him.
A magical artifact capable of teleporting items across space—it aims to establish long-term partnerships, not one-off transactions.
The first thing Echo wanted to trade was quite ordinary, but what about later?
Could the Echo boiled like a frog in warm water lead one to slowly fall into a carefully laid trap?
Even now, Qin Ze still doesn't know what His ultimate goal is.
Seeing that Qin Ze remained silent, Echo said calmly, "Good buddy, it seems you still have some reservations about me, but that's only natural."
"The decision to trade is yours. If you don't want to trade, then we can just chat and talk."
Qin Ze frowned as he looked at the conch shell in his hand.
The decision rests with him?
From the moment he entered this world, the choice was no longer in his hands.
Qin Ze knew nothing about this place.
Moreover, there are still predators lurking outside; he can't hide here forever.
Since Echo let him in, he must have a backup plan.
However, the transaction...
Qin Ze asked Miss Sword Case, "Do you think we should make a deal with Him?"
After thinking about it very seriously, Miss Sword Case replied, "There shouldn't be any problems the first few times. Even a god can't easily take everything away from someone."
Qin Ze nodded slightly; Miss Sword Case agreed.
The Dharma King said, "When in doubt, consult the magical conch shell."
Mist Lord: "Asking someone else about a conch shell? Are you out of your mind?"
"To be on the safe side, let's stay here and cultivate these primitive Molten Steel People into believers, and wait until we become gods before we go out."
A Bing disagreed. "We're not even sure if we can communicate with those primitive people, and while we can hold out, Bai Chi Ya Tou might not be able to."
The Mist Lord vehemently opposed the trade. "We cannot trade. If His power is related to trade, we are undoubtedly digging our own grave."
The Magician scoffed, "Why all the fuss? Let's draw a card first."
Brother Devour: "Indeed, let's draw a card first."
Mist Lord: " Brother Devour, are you out of your mind?"
Brother Devour explained, "What I mean is fortune telling. If I can't tell my own fortune, then I'll tell the fortune of the conch shell."
Qin Ze nodded. "Very good, Brother Devour's idea is largely the same as mine."
Since we can't ask the Magic Conch, we can only look at the Three-Phase Cards.
The Magician volunteered, "I'll do it!"
Qin Ze said, "This time I'll draw it myself; I have other uses for your dog's life."
Since Echo doesn't have eyes anyway, Qin Ze simply decided to just smoke it openly.
Seemingly thinking that Qin Ze had no intention of making the deal, Echo kept chattering on and on.
"Even if we don't make a sale, our friendship remains. The Magic Conch is yours."
"Don't worry, I'll be monitoring you through the conch shell. Once you return to the Land of the Gods, you'll only be able to contact me by blowing the conch shell."
"When you miss me someday, you can talk to me with a seashell. I'm pretty bored anyway... huh?"
Echo seemed to sense some kind of power fluctuation, but couldn't see what Qin Ze was doing, and was extremely anxious.
"Hey buddy, I think I'm sensing fluctuations in the power of the rules. What are you doing?"
Qin Ze did not answer.
Behind him, the sun and moon shone in the sky, and stars twinkled in his eyes. A row of Skill of the God cards were displayed in front of his chest.
Qin Ze casually drew a card and held it in his hand, where the power of the three phases converged.
After a moment, a big word "" appeared in the middle of the card.
Qin Ze waved his hand lightly, and all the cards scattered.
"I calculated the risks of this transaction."
The divination indicates great fortune.
"That means there is no risk whatsoever."
The Mist Lord was still uneasy. "When has a gambler ever had a good ending? Have you forgotten the Spirit Divination Stick?"
"At least this guy left the Molten Steel World on his own."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Ze finally decided to make the deal.
Time is not on our side.
The Mist Lord sighed in frustration, "Why does such a ridiculous ability as Spirit Divination Stick even exist? Look at the current state of the Circus, it's truly indescribable!"
The Magician was overjoyed that his abilities were being recognized for the first time.
"Trust the divination; it never goes wrong!"
Echo had no idea what had happened.
He couldn't see it, but he could vaguely sense the powerful force of the rules reverberating within him.
"Dude, were you just destroying the world?"
Qin Ze said calmly, "I'm looking for ingredients for you."
Echo was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. "You're going to make a deal with me? That's great!"
You have no idea what kind of life I've been living here.
"Days without food are just too painful."
Listening to the other person's complaints, Qin Ze couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Could he be a God of Cookery?"
Soon, Qin Ze spotted a giant elephant wandering across the grassland.
Qin Ze descended from the sky and unleashed a " Flame Fist," instantly scorching the giant elephant to a crisp.
He weighed the Magic Conch in his hand, then blew on it towards the roasted elephant.
Ugh--
The conch shell emitted a loud and resonant sound, and with each wave of sound it engulfed the giant elephant, which vanished from its spot in an instant.
Qin Ze witnessed the entire process, which was very similar to the process of him being swallowed by the nebula just now.
After the Echo fell silent for more than a minute, Qin Ze finally heard the other person's happy voice again.
"Tasty!"
"Dude, your grilling skills are amazing!"
"In the old days, in the Land of the Gods, everyone would have been vying to have you as their cook!"
From the Echo's words, Qin Ze could easily tell that even gods needed to eat.
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "I've given you the food, now it's time for you to pay for it."
Echo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't back out. You can ask the gods. Honesty is the most important thing to me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze immediately labeled the other person as "dishonest" in his mind.
Echo continued, "Didn't you want to know why the gods didn't enter the Chaos World?"
"The answer is actually quite simple: the more powerful an outsider enters the world, the faster the world's demise will be."
"Especially since this world is barely clinging to life, if that madwoman were to come in, the world would Annihilation in an instant."
Even gods must pay a price when faced with the power unleashed by the Annihilation a world.
"As for you, my good friend, you are not a complete god, and your presence will not have a significant impact on this world."
