Uchiha Xin's tone was calm and unmoved, "You moved into this room intending to be crushed into a meat patty?"
"I'm not afraid! As long as it's gold, I'm willing to be crushed to death!"
Nami clung to him shamelessly, even reaching out to tug at Uchiha Xin's purple-gold divine robe.
"If you can't move the whole thing, can you let me saw off a small piece? Just a small piece!"
In Uchiha Xin's eyes, the gold and silver treasures of this world were nothing more than readily available scrap metal.
If he so desires, he can use the Law of Space to extract hundreds or thousands of tons of raw gold from the deep sea crust at any time.
He simply couldn't understand Nami's fanaticism in being completely captivated by enormous wealth.
"No. It would ruin the overall aesthetic of the Divine Palace." Uchiha Xin decisively refused.
Just then, Perona, holding a parasol, floated down from mid-air.
She glanced down at Nami, who was throwing a tantrum while clinging to a pillar, her face full of disgust and contempt.
"What a vulgar woman," Perona scoffed, her words dripping with sarcasm.
"All they think about is money; they have absolutely no taste."
This kind of vulgar money-grubbing really lowers the standards of our Divine Palace."
Nami, having been hit where it hurt, immediately turned and glared at Perona:
"What do you know, you ghost woman! This is money! Money that can buy the whole world!"
"Boring." Perona rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with Nami, turned around, swayed her body, and floated away from the main hall with a bored expression.
In a corner not far away, Tashigi stood quietly, taking in everything.
Looking at Uchiha Xin's indifferent expression, seemingly unconcerned about worldly wealth, Tashigi's heart was stirred with emotion.
She became even more determined to stay by this man's side.
Prior to this, Tashigi's heart was filled with struggle and worry.
She had witnessed firsthand Uchiha Xin's terrifying power, enough to destroy the world, and knew that he harbored ambitions to dominate the world.
She had experienced countless moments of fear in the dead of night, what if this man really did overthrow the World Government?
If they were to unify the world, would they implement a more brutal and authoritarian rule than the Celestial Dragons?
Will this plunge the ocean into an even darker abyss?
However, just two days ago, when she mustered the courage to voice this concern, Uchiha Xin's answer completely shattered her understanding.
"Authority rule? I have no interest in that kind of boring, tedious work of reviewing countless documents every day."
Uchiha Xin, sitting on the throne, casually made an earth-shattering promise to her.
"After I crush all the corrupt rules of this world and unify the world..."
If you wish to uphold the justice you believe in, then the throne of this world should be yours to sit on.
"I'm only responsible for suppressing any dissent, while you're responsible for managing this world for me."
These words were etched deeply into Tashigi's soul, like a brand.
She firmly believed this.
Because she knew very well that a supreme powerhouse like Uchiha Xin, who stood at the pinnacle of the world, would not stoop to deceiving a mere Marine sergeant like her with empty words.
He disliked tedious governance and delegated trivial matters to his subordinates, which was entirely in line with his arrogant and capricious style.
If I can seize that power, I can truly build an Absolute Justice world without oppression or pirates!
Tashigi clenched her fists tightly, her gaze fixed intently on Uchiha Xin's retreating figure, completely devoted to him.
A moment later.
The living quarters of the side halls of the Divine Palace.
Nami returned to the private room assigned to her by Uchiha Xin, her face filled with disappointment.
Because she was firmly refused permission to move the golden pillar, she was now like a wilted eggplant, sitting dejectedly on the edge of the bed, muttering complaints incessantly.
"You're so stingy... There are so many gold pillars, what's wrong with giving me one...?"
Uchiha Xin slowly followed in, and seeing Nami's aggrieved look, as if she had lost half her life, he couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Alright, stop making that deadpan face."
Uchiha Xin walked to the center of the room, casually putting his hands in his pockets.
"You like gold, don't you? Today I'll show you what real wealth is."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Xin's eyes darkened, and the powerful Law of Space and ultimate material control within his body erupted instantly.
Buzz!
An invisible wave emanated from him and instantly swept across the entire room.
To Nami's utter astonishment, the room's once ordinary wooden floors, snow-white walls, soft bed, and even the tables, chairs, and dressing table...
At the same time, they all emitted an extremely dazzling golden light!
The molecular structure of matter was forcibly reorganized, and Pure Gold elements in the deep-sea crust were instantly transported there by the Law of Space.
In less than two seconds.
The entire house, from ceiling to floor, from furniture to decorations, was decorated with pure Pure Gold of extremely high purity!
The room shimmered with golden light, transforming into a veritable treasure box of Pure Gold.
"This... this..."
Nami sat blankly on the Pure Gold gold bed, her hands trembling as she stroked the cold, heavy gold sheets beneath her.
Her pupils dilated to their limit instantly, her breathing stopped completely, and her brain was struck hard by a golden hammer weighing tens of millions of tons.
This extreme wealth shock far exceeded Nami's psychological limits in her lifetime.
"Gold... it's all gold... I... I..."
Nami made a few meaningless murmurs in her throat, then her eyes rolled back suddenly.
With a thud.
This money-grubbing genius navigator, with an insatiable, blissful grin on his face, collapsed onto the Pure Gold bed and fainted from sheer bliss.
Uchiha Xin looked at the unconscious Nami and shook his head speechlessly.
"That's all you've got."
He turned and walked out of the room. As soon as he reached the corridor, he saw Tashigi standing solemnly outside the door.
When Tashigi saw him come out, she immediately stepped forward, put her legs together, and bowed deeply with utmost respect, her attitude extremely earnest.
"My lord! Please teach me how to become stronger!"
Tashigi's voice carried an unprecedented resolve.
She knew all too well that if she wanted to take over the world's Uchiha Xin and implement true justice in the future, her current meager swordsmanship would be far from enough to win over the people.
She must possess the strength to match that position.
Uchiha Xin stopped in his tracks, calmly scrutinizing Tashigi before him.
In fact, he could have directly used the system's familiar function, just like he did with Perona, to instantly grant Tashigi unparalleled power.
But he secretly checked the system panel and found that there weren't many family member slots left.
Good steel must be used where it's needed most. Although Tashigi's current potential is good, it's not enough for him to immediately use up a precious familiar slot.
