"Thank you so much for your help during this crisis, senior!"
After bowing respectfully, the First Royal Duke of the Azure Eye Clan solemnly spoke.
"In a way, you were also fighting for the liberation of your people."
The Theater God said softly, "Besides, we already agreed on this, so there's no need for you to come and express your gratitude in such a grand manner."
He had also heard about the Snow Spirit Clan and the Allied Forces from the creatures of the Arrow Realm on the northwestern border of Huaxia.
So he had a general understanding of the situation.
The God of Wealth needed money, and the allied forces happened to run into him while he was absorbing the Snow Spirit Clan's currency system.
As it turned out, Snow Spirit Ancestor overthought things, thinking that some powerful force was behind the allied forces.
The allied forces are probably in a difficult position now, so... the Azure Eye Clan has come looking for a backer.
"We are here primarily to express our gratitude for the kindness of our predecessors."
The First Royal Duke, with a smile on his face, said, "These are our tokens of gratitude."
As he spoke, the First Royal Duke waved his right hand, and one spatial bag after another was placed out, quickly piling up like a mountain in front of him.
"These are some expressions of gratitude from my people and our allied races."
"A small token of my gratitude; I hope you will accept it."
With a single glance, the Theater God's powerful divine sense penetrated the spatial bag and saw the cultivation supplies and treasure materials inside.
Most of these resources are indeed what Huaxia currently lacks.
To be honest, the only reason why Huaxia is so lacking in cultivation resources is that even if the body-forging method created by the Martial God has an upper limit, it can still break through that limit by relying on rare and precious materials and external resources.
With the help of high-quality cultivation resources, what are the Martial Dao limits of the third and fourth tiers?
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
The Theater God spoke softly, then waved his right hand, taking all the supplies.
He also understood the Azure Eye Clan's little scheme: they deliberately used spatial bags to store supplies instead of small items like spatial rings or bracelets, just to make these spatial equipment look nice when piled up.
After all, between a space bag and a space ring with the same storage capacity, a space bag definitely looks more abundant in resources.
"Actually, senior, we have another small but urgent request to make."
The First Royal Duke watched as the Theater God accepted the supplies, a smile flashing in his eyes. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"Since it's an unreasonable request, then don't bother asking."
The Theater God remained calm and said indifferently.
First Royal Duke: "..."
Just then, the Third Royal Duke of the Azure Eye Clan suddenly looked at the Shadow God not far away.
After examining it carefully for a while, his eyes suddenly filled with an indescribable joy.
His body began to tremble slightly.
"Although you say that, senior, we..."
The First Royal Duke took a deep breath and continued.
But before he could finish speaking, the Third Royal Duke next to him grabbed his arm.
What's going on?
Star God frowned slightly as he observed the Third Royal Duke's unusual behavior.
He then slowly walked to Su Wen and Shadow God's side, blocking their way.
This Third Royal Duke of the Azure Eye Clan looks a bit off.
"Brother!"
The Third Royal Duke did not use telepathy; instead, in front of the Theater God, he addressed the First Royal Duke in a very serious and solemn tone.
The First Royal Duke was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then took a deep breath, bowed to the Theater God, and retreated behind the Third Royal Duke.
Clearly, he delegated the decision-making power to the Third Royal Duke.
"Senior Master of Theater God, I suppose you are unaware of the origins of our Azure Eye Clan?"
The Third Royal Duke looked at the Theater God and said in a deep voice.
"The Azure Eye Clan, formerly known as the Azure Shadow Clan."
The Theater God spoke up, "Is this what you wanted to say?"
Third Royal Duke: "..."
This person actually knows the ancient secrets of their Azure Eye Clan?
Even my elder brother might not know about this!
It was during his childhood, by chance, that he stumbled upon a dark room in the clan's library and learned the true origins of the Azure Eye Clan.
"Are you trying to say that your Azure Eye Clan once followed the Shadow God?"
The Theater God remained expressionless and continued speaking.
The Third Royal Duke's pupils contracted upon hearing this. Wasn't it said that the lineage of the Heavenly Mandate Bearer had been severed?
How does this person even know about such things?
"I thought you came here this time because of the Shadow God."
The Theater God said softly, "It seems I overestimated you."
When he infiltrated the Azure Eye Clan's library, he turned it upside down.
Therefore, he naturally knew the origins and secrets of the Azure Eye Clan.
The main reason he didn't tell Shadow God was that Xiao Ying was only at the First Rank and was still too weak.
His original plan was to tell Xiao Ying at least after he reached the King Rank.
After all, the Azure Eye Clan has three Emperor Rank. Even though the clan's ancestors once followed the former Shadow God, strength is ultimately the foundation of everything.
This is also the real reason why he had the contact information of the Third Royal Duke of the Azure Eye Clan, and even when he led the God of Magic to wreak havoc on the Snow Spirit Clan, he specifically notified the Azure Eye Clan.
Regarding the Snow Spirit Clan, the "fall of the God of Wealth" merely brought this event forward.
Even without this incident, he would still have to go to the Snow Spirit Clan eventually for Xiao Ying's sake.
"Senior, you misunderstand. We were unaware that His Majesty the Shadow God was here."
The Third Royal Duke adopted a very humble posture, saying, "Our Azure Shadow Clan has followed His Majesty the Shadow God since ancient times, and has served as His Shadow God's sharpest weapon, attacking and killing enemies for His Shadow God."
"It was only after His Majesty the Shadow God completely lost contact with us, and after our clan suffered heavy losses, that we had no choice but to change our clan name to prevent being harmed by some of our former enemies."
Hearing this, Su Wen, who was standing nearby, was taken aback.
Former Shadow God?
Is this crucial information finally about to be revealed?
He also didn't find it strange that the Azure Shadow Clan followed the former Shadow God.
After all, the Insect Spirit had shown him the highest level of respect back in the Insect Spirit Realm.
If the former Azure Shadow Clan and the current Azure Eye Clan were subordinates of the Shadow God, then the Insect Spirit Clan is probably subordinate to the God of God of Wealth.
He then turned his gaze to the Wealth Disrupts Space-Time while listening to the conversation between the Theater God and the Third Royal Duke.
As it happened, he was talking to the Shadow God of the Sub-Space-Time.
The Theater God and the Star God might worry that the Azure Eye Clan has ulterior motives, but wouldn't they just need to ask the Shadow God of Sub-Space-Time directly to find out the basic situation of the Azure Eye Clan?
Instead of overthinking, the best approach is to go directly to the future and see the standard answer.
[Oh, God of Wealth, whose thoughts transcend time and space! Under the influence of the mysterious power of time and space, the question between the Azure Eye Clan and the Azure Shadow Clan has come to your fore.]
[And you, following your heart's guidance, inquired about the matter with the Shadow God.]
[Upon hearing you mention the Azure Shadow Clan, the Shadow God sighed softly.]
[Then her gaze shifted, and a cyan, shadow-like creature appeared directly in front of you.]
[The Shadow God pointed at the Azure Shadow Creature and said directly that this was the former Seventh Elder of the Azure Shadow Clan, now one of her few subordinates, possessing formidable strength at the Emperor Rank High Stage.]
