In the far west of the Pan Emperor Continent, there stands a magnificent castle.
The castle was surrounded by scorching lava, patrolled by a legion of Otherworldly Demon, and Two-Winged Otherworldly Demon hovered in the air, making it a heavily guarded base.
Inside the castle, a painful roar suddenly rang out. An old man with sharp horns on his head and purple markings on his body fell from his throne and rolled on the ground.
" Devil Master, save me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black vortex appeared above his head, and a stream of black energy descended onto him, immediately easing his pained expression.
After a long while, he finally recovered and knelt down on one knee in front of the vortex in the air.
"Thank you Devil Master, for saving my life!"
" Nigudan, you were too careless! How could you have provoked the gods?"
"Your Devil Master, my original intention was simply to eliminate a talisman master. That talisman master repeatedly thwarted my plans, but who knew that he had a being beyond the Creation Realm behind him? That's why I failed..."
"Foolish! The Wilderness is not our target this time. If your reckless actions ruin our clan's grand plan, do you know the consequences?"
Nigudan shuddered, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Yes! I will be more careful from now on and will never cause trouble for the Devil Master again!"
"I can sense that people from the Heavenly Court have already descended. The war between our race and the Heavenly Court has only just begun. You must broaden your perspective to the overall situation."
By the way! How's it going with the spies I asked you to plant at the four ancient academies?
"Your Majesty, I have completely taken control of the White Horse Academy, and I have also filled the other three major academies with people. I believe it won't be long before they can all escape our grasp."
"Excellent! I have always held you in high regard. If our clan's grand plan succeeds this time, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Devil Master!"
Nigudan watched as the vortex in the sky gradually shrank until it finally disappeared completely, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Wilderness, Chen Village.
The celestial being, following the Demon Seed left behind by the Heart Demon Emperor, attempted to annihilate Heart Demon Emperor Devil Master, leaving the celestial being somewhat displeased.
With a wave of his hand, he incinerated the Demon Seed left behind by the Heart Demon Emperor, then fixed his gaze on the White Turtle.
" Baxia, you want my Wilderness territory?"
"That's right. This time it was clearly due to the mismanagement of your Temple that it was exploited by the Heart Demon Emperor, causing such great harm to me and Chen Village."
I don't care! I fought tooth and nail here to finally stop your people.
You absolutely must give me some territory, or I'll go and cause trouble at your Temple and palaces."
The White Turtle, not one to back down, shouted loudly.
Chen Mu listened from below, his expression strange.
Judging from White Turtle's attitude, he couldn't help but suspect that White Turtle had long seen through Xing Le's strange behavior and deliberately sent the Temple to attack Chen Village in order to find a reason to extort the gods.
"Did it cause you harm?"
The celestial being glanced at the countless demonic beast corpses lying around Chen Village, as well as the unscathed city walls of Chen Village, and was somewhat amused and exasperated.
" Baxia, among the Demon Race of the Pan Emperor Continent, it is rare to find a member of your race who has reached such a level."
"You want territory? I'll give it to you without hesitation, but will you really stay here and manage it?"
"Whether I run it or not is none of your business. I'll find someone to run it! Look, my Chen Village is doing quite well."
The White Turtle said smugly.
Upon hearing this, the god carefully examined Chen Village, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before finally fixing his gaze on Chen Mu.
"You made all those things?"
Even Chen Mu was a little nervous when facing a god-like figure for the first time.
"Yes!"
Chen Mu knew that "Celestial God" referred to the objects within the Rune Research Institute.
" Di Lin, Chen Mu is the successor of our Master of Rune Ancestor, you mustn't underestimate him."
The White Turtle quickly introduced itself to the celestial being.
" Rune Ancestor? I see, haha..."
The celestial being suddenly realized, nodded, and turned his gaze back to the White Turtle.
"If that's the case, giving you 30,000 li seems a bit insufficient!"
With a mocking expression, he gestured, and a huge map of the Wilderness appeared before everyone.
"So, your Chen Village is located in the Wilderness northwest. I'm giving you this entire area of ten thousand li in radius in this Wilderness northwest. Are you satisfied?"
The White Turtle's face lit up with joy, but upon closer inspection, it immediately realized something was amiss.
"Hmph! You old devil, you're so cunning! You're using me as a pawn to shield you from the Abyss Demon, aren't you? I won't fall for your tricks!"
"You want territory but don't want to put in the effort? That won't do!"
The god shook his head and waved his hand, erasing the map in the air.
"Anyway, the territory is right here. You can take it if you dare, or you can submit to the supervision of my Temple and Temple will naturally protect you."
Just as White Turtle was about to speak again, Chen Mu spoke first.
"Thank God for His grace! My Chen Village is willing to guard this 100,000-square-kilometer territory!"
Chen Mu was overjoyed. To the Temple, this territory of 100,000 li was insignificant, but to Chen Village, it was enough to establish an incredibly vast country.
In the past, although Chen Village could develop freely, it was still constrained by the Temple. It could not exterminate the demon beasts, and the Core Formation Realm experts could not attack the tribespeople. There were many things it could not do.
But now that the gods have spoken, this 100,000 li will truly belong to Chen Village, which is completely different from the territory obtained through tribal rivalry in the past.
"Great! That's awesome!"
The celestial being smiled approvingly, then addressed Feng Tianqing.
"I'm entrusting you with the task I just mentioned. Hand over this territory to them within a month."
"Yes!"
Feng Tianqing responded respectfully.
" Baxia, I am very happy to see you again today."
However, I have more important things to do and cannot stay here any longer.
I'll be waiting for you in the Demon Realm. Let me know when you arrive.
After the god finished speaking, his body gradually became nothingness.
"Knew!"
The White Turtle curled its lip, seemingly unconvinced by what the god had said.
Soon, the figure of the celestial being turned into white light and completely vanished without a trace.
" Baxia, I will immediately issue the order to remove all demonic beasts of the Demon King or higher from Chen Village's territory."
After the celestial being left, Feng Tianqing cupped his hands and said to the White Turtle.
"Okay! I'm going back to rest now. Remember to hurry up."
The White Turtle nodded, then vanished in a flash.
The numerous divine generals in the air all glanced at Chen Mu with surprise, then each opened a black hole and teleported back to the Wilderness Divine Temple.
Chen Village returned to its usual tranquility, but Chen Mu grinned as he looked at the corpses of demonic beasts scattered all around him.
These demon beast corpses are all valuable items, especially the dozens of Demon King that died. Their body parts are top-grade spiritual materials, something they wouldn't normally dare to kill so indiscriminately.
