Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 660 Background
The reason why Dark Wrath didn't catch up with the previous Dragon God's Gaze is because it discovered another treasure land and obtained the power inheritance of the Dragon God's Star of Despair.

The alien dragons who had also received the inheritance extended an invitation to him, promising that as long as he went to the Star of Despair, the entire race would fully support his ascension to godhood.

The resources of Death Star far surpass those of Demon Prison.

In the Demon Prison, the Spine-Headed Demon Dragon has to compete with other dragons and demons for resources, which is far less challenging than the Death Star.

Even in its decline, the Star of Despair is still a legacy left by the true God.

Deep Anger looked at Zhou Leng and fell into deep thought.

The nearby alien dragons and giants breathed a sigh of relief. Since the two sides could get along, the true king would not fall into the hands of the alien race.

But why hasn't the arena appeared yet?

Zhou Leng and Jing Kong Zhi Chen were like two sticks trying to catch a wolf, so they were both extremely polite to each other. As they chatted, they actually grew closer.

As the two were talking, a loud rumble came from Mount Zhenwang.

The two-colored rays of light shot high into the sky curved downwards, intertwining to form a giant staircase that connected to the mountaintop.

Everyone looked over, their faces filled with doubt.

Crystal Dust smiled and said, "Senior Zhou Leng, it seems that neither of us can obtain the True King title. Perhaps the gods on both sides have sensed something and have stopped pretending. They are not planning to select through combat, but instead... um?"

He saw two crowns overlapping each other appear above Zhou Leng's head.

One moment it's the Crown of the Giant King, inlaid with two rings of gems; the next it transforms into the Crown of the Dragon King, carved with a giant dragon image, changing in turn.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

As Zhou Leng spoke, he stepped onto the staircase of light.

The demigods and undead nodded slightly. After learning that Zhou Leng had activated the Ancient Call and the Dragon God's Gaze, they had been suspicious of this possibility. Seeing that there was no arena, the outcome was almost certain.

The alien dragon and giant struggled to their feet, silently made way for them, and bowed their heads in respect.

Crystal Dust watched Zhou Leng's retreating figure, gazing at the ever-changing True King's Crown above his head.

"The foundation of a great clan is indeed different..."

Jingkongzhichen recalled Zhou Leng's Medal of Civilization and his grandfather's words.

"Doing business is first and foremost about doing business with people. Choosing the right partners is the key to maximizing profits."

After pondering for a moment, Jingkong Zhichen recalled his experience in the True King's Land and felt even more awe at the wonders of creation.

"Perhaps, getting to know him is the foundation for my rise to great heights..."

He quickly clenched his fist.

"Great clans are strict and cruel. He is likely just one of many offspring in a great clan, and he will inevitably face pressure..."

"According to the rules of normal major clans, some of his memories will be sealed, and he will be prohibited from contacting advanced civilizations to avoid violating the shackles of civilization..."

"However, my encounter with him was accidental, which perfectly falls under the 'Accidental Contact Act.' As long as I don't provide him with contraband and it's just normal trade, I won't violate any laws..."

"So... if we use Grandpa's method... I understand. Under the guise of a normal transaction, I'll obtain low-grade items from him, but in return, I'll give him high-grade items. At first, he might not know, but once his strength increases and he returns to a higher civilization, unlocking his memories, he'll naturally discover it. At that time, he'll give me the most generous reward..."

"Perhaps, my first exclusive interstellar trade route will fall to him."

Crystal Dust watched as Zhou Leng climbed the light ladder to the True King Mountain.

The heavens and earth trembled, and two enormous figures of light appeared high in the sky, one on the left and one on the right.

A colossal giant, as tall as a mountain, with eyes like stars, gazes ahead.

A colossal dragon, stretching endlessly like a continent suspended in the air, its eyes burning like the sun, gazes at the giant.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then lowered their heads and looked at Zhou Leng.

One extended a finger, the other a claw, pointing at Zhou Leng.

As dawn broke and day and night alternated, the entire True King's Land trembled.

On the earth, all living things bowed their heads in reverence.

Even the dust of the celestial realm bowed its proud head before the divine might of the true god.

A crisp sound rang in Zhou Leng's ears.

It sounded like ice cracking, or like shackles breaking.

It seems that some force that was binding me has diminished.

The sound was very faint, yet it traveled for thousands of miles.

Jingkong Zhichen lowered his head and corrected his judgment once again.

"He is definitely the eldest son of a powerful clan! That family has spent countless resources paving the way for this day..."

Then, a gate of light descended from the sky.

On one side of the door frame stands a towering giant, and on the other side, a soaring dragon.

The door frame landed on Zhou Leng and then disappeared.

The demigods and undead were extremely excited.

The Gate of the True King.

Although the number of times is limited, it can temporarily allow the spirits of the dead to leave the True King's land and go to the place where the True King summoned them.

This is incredibly good news for the spirits of the dead who have been using the True King's Land as a prison.

Winter of Desperation rubbed its two front paws together gently, chuckling to itself.

The ceremony ended, the light faded, and the world returned to normal.

As Zhou Leng descended from True King Mountain, the giants, dragons, and even the undead from both realms paid homage. Some even knelt and prostrated themselves in worship to express their respect for the gods.

The two phantom images of gods personally crowned him; this is the divine manifestation.

In name only, Zhou Leng is already the chief shaman of the Yuankuo and Juesi clans, and a messenger of the gods, qualified to govern the entire clan and planet on behalf of the gods.

The gods on Earth are false, but the distant mountains and the star of death are the true deities.

"Welcome back to your homeland, Your Majesty, the Frost Emperor, to command the dragons and soar through the stars!"

"Welcome back to your home planet, Yuankuo Leng, to lead the giants, climb the stars, and ascend to the realm of true gods!"

The alien dragons and giants dared not forcefully invite them as before, but instead knelt on the ground like a group of old ministers, pleading for their lives.

Zhou Leng walked past with a detached and expressionless face, leaving behind a ground full of heartbroken loyal subjects.

The alien giant and the alien dragon looked at the trial participants from the ten realms, their eyes flashing, their expressions suggesting they might at any moment curse the eunuchs for ruining the country and causing chaos in politics.

Crystal Dust took a deep breath, took small steps, and smiled, "Your Highness Zhou Leng, would you be interested in making a deal with me? In advanced civilizations, there are many collectors. Many items from rudimentary civilizations, once classified as collectibles, can bring me substantial profits. I am willing to trade star treasures with you."

When Zhou Leng heard that the other party had even changed their way of addressing him, he felt that they were very sincere, so he walked with them to a secluded place.

What do you have?

"For example, the most important body-refining resource, the Star Conch."

With a smile, Crystal Dust pulled out a transparent bag containing more than 20,000 star shells.

Zhou Leng took out the wooden box containing his spatial storage and opened it to show him.

Millions of star-shaped conch shells piled together, dazzling and spectacular.

Crystal Dust smiled awkwardly and said, "As expected of you, I have shown my weakness."

He didn't feel ashamed at all; on the contrary, he thought it was perfectly normal. When a major clan selects a planet for its direct descendants, it will definitely choose one that is rich in certain resources, and Star Conch is definitely one of the important resources.

Fearing being looked down upon, Jingkong Zhichen reluctantly offered up various starry sky cultivation resources.

Zhou Leng listened to his explanation, occasionally glancing at the terrifying divine guards.

Zhou Leng looked at it several times, and after Jing Kong Zhi Chen discovered it, he said helplessly, "If you really want the Terror God Guard, even if this thing doesn't belong to me but to my family, I'm willing to give it to you. However, this thing is easy to break the law, and once it's detected, not only you, but my entire family will be implicated."

“I know,” Zhou Leng said. “By the way, you’re here because you’re involved in interstellar transactions, right?”

Crystal Dust smiled and said, "Yes. However, I'm under a gag order and can't say a single word. I'm sure you can understand."

"Is the transaction complete?"

"finished."

Zhou Leng nodded, thinking to himself what a pity. He wondered what the Heavenly Calamity Envoy had smuggled; it must have been a very important treasure.

Tell the Demon City Army when you get back, just in case.

The two chatted about treasures in the starry sky. Zhou Leng took out the formula for the Divine Essence Pill and asked him if he had any more medicinal materials.

Crystal Dust asked in confusion, "This is a typical Lesser Star Pill. The materials are not difficult for me, but the alchemy furnace is. You should understand that the value of an alchemy furnace is ten times that of an attack artifact, and it is even more valuable than a terrifying divine guard."

Zhou Leng flicked his right hand, and the Star Refining Furnace appeared in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, Crystal Dust noticed that the gemstone's eyes emitted a faint glow.

"By the Heavenly Ancestor! You actually possess an ancient artifact from billions of years ago? I saw a Star Refining Furnace from that era at the Starry Sky Auction; this is an unimaginable fortune. Truly a testament to the profound heritage of a great clan..."

Crystal Dust sighed inwardly, realizing that he had been too petty.

Zhou Leng put it away, smiling without saying a word.

Crystal Dust said, "Judging from its quality, you probably haven't even started using it yet. Before you refine the Divine Essence Pill, you should use other Lesser Star Pills to nourish your alchemy furnace and accumulate alchemy experience..."

Crystal Dust looked around.

She secretly took out items from her starry sky bag and handed them to Zhou Leng.

"This is a set of extracurricular books, well, just extracurricular books. It compiles a large amount of alchemy experience. As long as you read it yourself and don't share it with others, there should be no problem. If anyone really investigates, just say you dug it up from an ancient ruin..."

"This is one of the main ingredients for refining the Lesser Star Pill, the 'Planetary Core.' It is obtained by a Void God who absorbs a complete planet and slowly refines it into the main ingredient of the pill. Standard materials will save you a lot of time..."

"These materials are the auxiliary ingredients needed for various common Minor Star Pills. Several of them are universal ingredients; adding a little when refining Divine Essence Pills will increase your success rate by at least 20%. These don't belong to me; they belong to the family..."

After trading a large number of items, Crystal Dust said regretfully, "It's a pity you probably don't have a World Globe, otherwise we could communicate through interstellar space. Although you might not be in the higher celestial regions and the messages would be slow, it would still be possible..."

A world-sphere appeared in Zhou Leng's right hand, slowly rotating like an armillary sphere.

"What a profound heritage of a great clan..." Jingkong Zhichen sighed, even suspecting that this great clan, in order to cultivate its descendants, sent people across the void to secretly bury treasures in the early civilization billions of years ago.

The World Globe itself is already extremely precious, and the fact that it has fallen into the hands of a rudimentary civilization is of extraordinary significance.

He looked at it carefully; it was a new model, which was even more frightening than secretly burying treasure.

This family is truly all-powerful, showing no regard for the constraints of civilization. They may even be a great deity above the Star Emperor...

Jingkong Zhichen thought to himself, took out his old version of the World Globe, and gently touched it with Zhou Leng's World Globe.

Add friends.

Crystal Dust whispered, "The World Globe can't transmit things randomly; it's easy to get caught. However, it's none of my business if you secretly download the public information I posted myself."

Zhou Leng nodded slightly.

Understand.

My cosmic circle of friends has grown by one.
