Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1026 The King of Nanshan
"I still have to go!" King Nanshan pondered, the money spots on his face twitching, the power belonging to the Ministry of Finance faintly visible on his body.

This demon god, who was lurking in the Southern Continent and was an incarnation of a powerful being from beyond the realm, had only recently entered Pantian, but had already unknowingly touched upon the authority of the Ministry of Finance.

When that authority manifested, even the wolf spirits beside them couldn't help but turn their heads, their faces showing astonishment.

"The power of the Ministry of Finance is also one of the fundamental aspects of Pan Tian."

"Moreover, as the five great realms come into contact, that authority will become increasingly important over time!"

“This could very well be a path to becoming a ‘saint’.” The wolf spirit looked at the King of Nanshan with envy on his face, and his words were filled with disbelief.

"How could such important power fall into your hands so easily?"

"Who knows?" King Nanshan shook his fur. "Ever since that Heavenly Lord went on a killing spree on the Execution Platform not long ago, and forcibly bound the Dao Fruit of Wealth with his own power, the authority of the Ministry of Finance has also been scattered from the Ministry of Finance and fallen into the four corners of the world."

"I don't know why, but in this world, my physical body seems to be naturally connected to the power and aura of wealth."

"When the power of the Ministry of Finance was dispersed, a portion of it fell directly into my hands," said the King of Nanshan, explaining the origin of the Ministry of Finance power he held.

"After this authority was exercised, I didn't sleep well for several days. I kept thinking that someone had noticed my presence and was deliberately using the authority of the Ministry of Finance to warn me."

"Does bloodline naturally grant access to the Ministry of Finance's authority?" The wolf spirit was increasingly puzzled.

"This shouldn't be the case."

Innate authority is something that only descendants who possess a certain kind of authority in ancient times can have.

Tracing the bloodline of this golden leopard, there was no powerful figure who possessed the power of the Path of Wealth. This power was only established after Zhao Gongming achieved the Great Luo status.

In this world, even if there are creatures that are naturally compatible with wealth, they should be Zhao Gongming's disciples and descendants, or even his bloodline... How could this ordinary golden leopard possibly have a natural compatibility with the power of the Ministry of Finance?
"There's nothing wrong with it," said the King of Nanshan, unconvinced.

Since he obtained that part of the Ministry of Finance's authority, he has examined it in great detail—he even secretly communicated with the original entity that is far away in the heavens.

He was quite certain that the leopard and the change of power in the Ministry of Finance were not some kind of trap.

—In his and his own speculation, the reason why this golden leopard was able to inherit the power of the Ministry of Finance is very likely because mortals in the human world, because of the word "gold" in the name of the golden leopard, believe that the golden leopard is related to "money" and has the ability to accumulate wealth.

Thus, due to the subconscious of those mortals, this golden leopard truly found itself aligned with the authority of the Ministry of Finance.

Therefore, the King of Nanshan even secretly observed the ordinary leopards that had not yet become spirits, as well as the leopards that had already become spirits—and then confirmed their guess!
The power of the Ministry of Finance was indeed skewed due to the subconscious of those ordinary people.

The reason why this shift never occurred in the past was because the powerful figures in the Ministry of Finance, due to the terrifying interests involved in the Ministry of Finance's power, held onto that power too firmly and too tightly, making it impossible for it to 'overflow' outwards.

However, after those gods of wealth were struck by the wheel of fate, and after Zhao Gongming, who was in charge of the Dao Fruit of Wealth, was also restrained by Ao Bing, and even the Dao Fruit was bound by chains, the power of the Ministry of Finance also flowed outwards.

While being touched by ordinary gods and immortals, it also fell into the bodies of some related beings as human hearts moved.

For example, the leopard.

For example, the golden toad.

For example, there's the black tiger, which resembles Zhao Gongming's mount.

Etc., etc.

After confirming this information, King Nanshan almost had the idea of ​​killing and devouring all the golden leopards in the entire pan of heaven, leaving only himself as the sole survivor, so that he could gather the power of the Ministry of Finance into his own hands.

However, as soon as the thought surfaced in his mind, an unsettling premonition arose in his heart.

It seemed as if, as long as he dared to put his ideas into practice, immense terror would immediately descend upon him, even affecting his very being.

Faced with such warning signs, he immediately abandoned his idea—at least, it was impossible for him to put it into practice before he left Pantian.

However, if he were to leave Pantian after the killing game was over, he could try to make his move at that time and kill all the creatures related to Pantian's wealth and fortune, so that the power of the flowing wealth path would be concentrated in his own body, thereby tearing apart Zhao Gongming's wealth path and forcibly creating a fatal flaw for Pantian.

"Is the human will of Pantian really so wondrous?" the wolf spirit exclaimed. "In our Great Heaven, the faith of living beings is already an incredibly magical power that can alter divine status and change authority—but even the power of faith squeezed out cannot affect the 'greatness' of the human will of Pantian."

"If the mortals of this heaven were not so extraordinary, how could our ancestor have been persuaded?" King Nanshan sighed, then lowered his voice.

"In fact, the ancestor also had a guess about the human race in Pantian."

Theoretically speaking, every great world was created by a creator who opened up the heavens and the earth!

The powerful beings who created the great world from chaos, even if they weren't the creators of heaven and earth before creating the world, would certainly be the creators of heaven and earth after creating the great world.

However, Pan Tian is not like that.

In the legend of Pantian, the powerful being who created Pantian was exhausted from creating the world and eventually perished.

But that's impossible!

The relationship between the Great Heaven and Earth and the creation of the world is similar to that between the Dao Fruit of the Great Luo and the Great Luo.

When the Dao Fruit is achieved, the Great Luo is also achieved—at the moment the Dao Fruit is achieved, no matter how exhausted or injured the Great Luo was in the previous moment, the Great Luo is already achieved at the moment the Dao Fruit is achieved.

Between the past, present, and future, one Great Luo is an infinite Great Luo—in that long time and among the infinite possibilities, as long as there is still a possibility of this Great Luo reaching its peak, then that peak state will immediately appear across time and space.

If this is true of the Great Luo, then it is even more so of the creation of heaven and earth, which is even more terrifying than the Great Luo!

For a Great Luo Immortal, there is no possibility of dying from severe injuries after achieving the Dao Fruit—just as for the creation of heaven and earth, there is no possibility of dying from exhaustion after creating heaven and earth!
Creating a true world from chaos has only two outcomes: either you succeed, and then you achieve the feat of creating heaven and earth!
Either they fail, and the one who created heaven and earth perishes along with that great world.

There is no intermediate state.

It's even less likely that someone would succeed in opening up a vast new world, only to die as a result...

Therefore, in the understanding of creation from beyond the realm, the true supreme being in Pantian, namely Pangu who created Pantian, is definitely still alive and could not possibly be dead.

However, the way that being named Pangu lived was beyond the imagination of the Pantian beings—therefore, the Pantian beings spread rumors that Pangu had died.

Among the speculations about Pan Tian and Pan Gu, the top experts from beyond the realm deduced a possibility based on the special circumstances of the Pan Tian human race.

They believe that the existence of humankind may be related to Pangu.

Otherwise, the human race in Pantian would never have been able to exhibit such a divine quality.

They did not bow down before the Great Luo, and coexisted with the immortals despite their short lifespans.

Even their subconscious can influence the Dao Fruit of a Great Luo.

All these traces indicate that the existence of the human race is related to Pangu, the ancestor who created the world.

It is precisely because the existence of the human race is related to Pangu, the ancestor, that the existence of the human race can easily influence all sorts of things in the world, causing the situation in the world to change because of the changes in the human race.

Among the powerful beings from beyond the realm who stepped into Pantian, some came for the opportunities inherent in Pantian itself, while others were carried out by the decrees of creation, specifically to enter the chessboard of Pantian, hoping to deduce the traces of Pangu through the changes in the human race.

If the opportunities within the Jade Emperor's game are the target of those powerful beings from beyond the realms, then the secrets about Pangu that may be hidden within the Pantian human race are the target of those creators from beyond the realms.

The Four Heavens are not like Pantian, a place with rules and order—in the Great Heavens beyond the realm, the will of the Ancestor symbolizes everything!
Even if powerful beings from beyond the realm, through a series of games and exchanges, managed to persuade their ancestors to back down, giving them the opportunity to step into Pan Tian and participate in the Jade Emperor's game in order to seek further opportunities...

However, when the goal of the Primordial Ancestor appeared before the powerful beings of the outer realms, and when the possibility of contacting this goal appeared before them, no powerful being of the outer realms dared to say that their own affairs were more important than the Primordial Ancestor's affairs, or dared to abandon the Primordial Ancestor's affairs for their own.

Therefore, even though the changes in the Central Region seem like a trap, they still have to go!
Especially now that the King of Nanshan and the Wolf Spirit are aware of each other's existence, they are even more certain of whether the other has gone or not.

They absolutely refused to believe that if they chose not to go, the other party would keep it a secret for them.

Therefore, no matter what, we must go to the Central Region!

When he realized this, King Nanshan gave the wolf spirit in front of him a resentful look.

The wolf spirit also showed a look of regret.

Immediately, the two of them stirred up a demonic wind and crossed the sea from the Southern Continent to the Central Realm.

When the demonic wind suddenly swept up, the monsters and demon kings around Nanshan Mountain were shocked to discover that there were actually two terrifying demon kings hiding beside them.

At that moment, even the demon kings around them, with their arrogant and lawless nature, were all covered in cold sweat.

Inside the Moyun Cave, the Bull Demon King, who unhesitatingly displayed the posture of a Great Luo Immortal, held his Great Luo Dao Fruit high and looked down upon the Southern Continent with the gaze of a Great Luo Immortal, while waiting for his banquet to begin, also noticed the Southern Mountain King and the Azure Wolf Spirit when the two demonic winds rose up.

“Third brother, you have unparalleled speed and often travel in Jambudvipa. When it comes to understanding Jambudvipa, you are the best among all the brothers.”

Do you recognize these two demon gods?

As soon as the Bull Demon King raised his hand, the light and shadow in the Moyun Cave began to distort.

Immediately, the appearances of the King of Nanshan and the Wolf Spirit, as well as the terrain around Nanshan, appeared in the light and shadow.

"These two." Looking at the light and shadow that appeared, the remaining five Great Sages in Moyun Cave all showed some surprise.

The Bull Demon King used his immense power to refract light and shadow, making the appearance and aura of the Southern Mountain King and the Azure Wolf Spirit appear before everyone's eyes in an incredibly realistic manner.

In the perception of these Great Sages, the aura of the Great King of Nanshan and the Azure Wolf Spirit, although not as strong as theirs, was still second only to them, making them the most powerful demon gods in the Southern Continent!
Moreover, even if their strength is slightly better than that of the King of Nanshan and the Wolf Spirit, it's still only slightly better.

Even for them, taking down these two would be quite a challenge—in fact, when facing the projections of these two demon gods, they could vaguely sense a sense of danger emanating from their projections.

"It is truly an unprecedented calamity, and it is truly an unprecedented opportunity."

"For the opportunity within that great calamity, even if they may not know the true nature of this calamity, countless powerful figures who have been lying dormant will still emerge." The Great Sage Peng Demon King said—he knew why the Bull Demon King had asked him this question.

Under the Jade Emperor's chess game, powerful beings from beyond the realm all entered the game through avatars. The avatars they left in this heavenly realm acted very secretly, making them difficult to detect.

That is why every suddenly appearing strong person is worthy of suspicion.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Bull Demon King, the leopard demon and the wolf demon were two suspects.

Similarly, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven also gave a negative response to the Bull Demon King's doubts.

When he was strolling in this Southern Continent, he had seen the Great King of the Southern Mountain and the Azure Wolf Spirit—their traces in this world formed a fairly complete line.

That was a demon king who had appeared in the Southern Continent thousands of years before the Jade Emperor's chess game.

Unless a powerful being from beyond the realm foresaw the Jade Emperor's strategy from the very beginning, these two could not possibly be incarnations of such a powerful being from beyond the realm.

The Bull Demon King neither confirmed nor denied this.
