After the collapse of the Kunlun Heaven Realm, the overall dimensional quality of the Pan Emperor Continent improved by nearly tenfold.
Even in the most remote Wilderness, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi has increased several times over, and naturally, those minerals will become even more precious.
Given Chen Kingdom's mining capabilities in the Wilderness, the daily income after conquering Wilderness would be astronomical. Originally, Chen Mu giving Di Lin 10% was already out of consideration for their past relationship.
But now, the Thousand Illusions Demon Emperor merely beckoned with his finger, wanting to swallow such a large piece of fat meat. How could Chen Mu possibly agree to that?
"Then! If I were to forcibly take it, did your Demon Emperor say what he would do?"
Upon hearing Di Lin's words, Chen Mu's expression immediately turned cold.
To be honest, the Demon Realm of the Pan Emperor Continent is currently unable to intervene. The reason Chen Mu has not attacked the Wilderness is because of Di Lin's favor, but he did not expect that the other party would be so ungrateful.
"You!"
Di Lin frowned immediately, unsure how to respond to Chen Mu.
"Brother Di Lin, how about this!"
At this moment, White Turtle stood up to ease the tension between the two.
Since you didn't agree to take 50% of the profits, just pretend you didn't see it!
Our Chen Kingdom will still give you 10% of the mineral resource revenue every year. When you go back, just say that this is 50% of the revenue.
If they feel there's a problem and want to audit the accounts, then naturally there will be people from my Chen Kingdom to deal with them.
Don't worry, they definitely won't find anything.
Upon hearing White Turtle's words, Di Lin's face immediately lit up with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's a good idea."
He thought for a moment, then continued.
"Alright! I'll listen to you then. I bet they have no idea how powerful your mining capabilities are."
Although he wanted to gain more profit, he knew that things were not going to work out at the moment.
Neither Chen Mu nor the Demon Emperor are people he can afford to offend right now. Since there's a way to have the best of both worlds, why not take advantage of it?
"Great! Then let's have a pleasant collaboration."
The long-delayed negotiations were finally resolved, and Chen Mu was very happy.
He raised his glass to toast Di Lin, and the three of them drank happily, determined not to leave until they were drunk.
Chen Kingdom, at the Spirit Network Conference.
"That's great, Chen Mu!"
Now that you've secured the ownership of the Wilderness, I can begin sending troops tomorrow to hunt down those ferocious beasts Wilderness."
Chen Hongjie patted the table and said with a smile.
Since the ferocious beasts within the territory of the Chen Kingdom have been largely eradicated, Chen Kingdom's military forces are no longer mainly stationed on the borders between the Abyss Devil Race and the Haotian Empire, but rather on the Wilderness borderlands.
This is mainly because the ferocious beasts in the Wilderness are causing too much trouble. They have been breeding in the Wilderness for more than five years, and their numbers have not decreased but increased. Every day, at least a thousand ferocious beasts will come to attack the border of the Chen Kingdom.
However, the ferocious beasts themselves are not entirely useless; their entire bodies are treasures. As long as they can be hunted, they will become a catalyst for the strength of the Chen Kingdom's army.
Because of this, the strength of the Chen Kingdom's army is now several times greater than it was five years ago, making them more than capable of defending Chen Kingdom's territory.
That's why everyone was eager to conquer the Wilderness and take its resources for their own use.
"Yes! Being able to conquer the Wilderness is indeed a good thing."
However, there is something even more important I want to discuss with everyone today.
Chen Mu spoke, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Few people attended today's Spirit Network meeting; only a few core members, including Chen Haoran, Chen Hongjie, Mingye, White Turtle, and Manju.
Chen Mu's actions undoubtedly demonstrate the importance of this topic.
" A Mu, are you referring to the incident where Insect Emperor Sala was ambushed?"
Chen Haoran tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes equally unsettled.
"Um!"
Chen Mu nodded, then straightened his posture and said in a serious tone.
"According to the intelligence gathered by the Shadow Guards, after the collapse of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Court, the Abyss Devil Race, and the Sala Insect Race all seized a large number of fragments of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao."
Of these, the Heavenly Court received the largest amount, estimated to be approximately 20% of the total.
The Abyss Devil Race make up about 15%, while the Sala Insect Race make up the least, only 5%.
The so-called Emperor Level powerhouses are gods who have reached the Late Stage of the True God Realm or above. At their level, most of the rare treasures in the universe are useless to them.
However, the Heavenly Dao Core in the highest plane is definitely what they desire most. Legend has it that it hides the secret to becoming God King, and Emperor Level powerhouses are willing to do anything to obtain it.
"The reason why we have been so peaceful these past few years is not only because of the chaos caused by the ferocious beasts, but also because the three Emperor Level powerhouses have been busy refining the fragments of the Heavenly Dao they seized."
Recently, the Insect Emperor Sala was actually ambushed, which makes it hard for me not to suspect that the Heavenly Emperor was behind it.
Chen Mu paused, his expression uneasy.
"If it really is the Heavenly Emperor, does that mean he has already completed the refining of 20% of the Heavenly Dao fragments?"
If the Heavenly Emperor, who has refined twenty Heavenly Dao fragments, were to descend upon the Chen Kingdom, we would be utterly powerless to resist!
Seeing Chen Mu's unease, Chen Haoran quickly patted Chen Mu on the shoulder.
"Then you don't need to worry so much. According to the memories I got from the second generation of God-Slaying God, the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao was also damaged ten thousand years ago. It was estimated that two to three percent of the fragments were devoured by the Heavenly Emperor Haoyu and the Abyss Devil Emperor."
"Even with just that small fragment, it took them over a decade to refine it before it was born. If the Heavenly Emperor Haoyu were to truly obtain even 20%, it would likely take him at least 40 or 50 years, if not a hundred."
Hearing Chen Haoran say this, Chen Mu's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a lot.
"In any case, the three Emperor Level powerhouses who refined the Heavenly Dao fragments are a sword hanging over our heads."
As long as we haven't found a way to stop them, all our efforts could be in vain.
So, now that the pressure on the Chen Kingdom isn't so great, I plan to take Mingye on a journey through the common people of the Pan Emperor Continent to find a way to utilize the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao."
After saying so much, Chen Mu finally revealed his ultimate goal.
Two-tenths of the Heavenly Court's fragments, one and a half-tenths of the Abyss Devil Race's fragments, and half-tenths of the Sala Insect Race's fragments—in the end, more than 60% of the fragments of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao have been integrated into the plane of the Pan Emperor Continent.
In the Pan Emperor Continent, there has always been a saying that "the will of Heaven is the will of the people," but no one knows exactly how the will of the people can be united into the will of Heaven.
Chen Mu wanted to find the power of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, which was practically his only way to deal with the Heavenly Emperor.
Emperor Level powerhouses are already the pinnacle of existence in this universe, and even if Chen Mu were to cultivate to the Emperor Level in the current Pan Emperor Continent, it would be useless.
Because the Heavenly Emperor, who possesses a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, will have a significantly increased combat power on the Pan Emperor Continent, Chen Mu would not be able to withstand the Heavenly Emperor if he did not obtain the power of the Pan Emperor Heavenly Dao fragment.
