Devour: Trade the future, abstract and become a god!

Chapter 284 They've been fleeced so many times they're scared of being taken advantage of.
What a busybody!
I never would have guessed that Brother Bodhi had such a gossipy side.

"Cough cough..." Bodhi realized he had lost his composure and quickly coughed.

Wei Wen's lips twitched slightly as he recounted to the other party the story of how he was a remnant soul of a powerful figure from some unknown era.

After all, he's my senior brother. Since he's so gossipy, it wouldn't hurt to let him listen.

"I never expected this!" Bodhi exclaimed sincerely. "Then where is this powerful figure now?"

“Inside the original star river base, she was also rejected by the original universe, so we can only place her there for now.” Wei Wen waved his hand helplessly.

Bodhi knew that this matter was of great importance, so he turned around and reported it to the hermit.

As for Wei Wen, he wandered around the palace.

Every time I come, it's in a rush. I take the benefits and leave without even having a chance to properly explore the place.

Wei Wen looked around at the tables and chairs, which were all treasures. Although they were ordinary treasures, in the outside world, even a single chair would be enough to make immortals and cosmic venerables fight to the death.

If an ordinary person came here, they would definitely become attached to it.

However, after Wei Wen came here and tried a few things, he found that although the things here were good, they were still trash in his eyes. Now, the only things that could catch his eye were top-tier treasures.

This is the lowest.

Less than ten minutes after Bodhi left, he rushed back and said that the hermit was willing to introduce him.

Wei Wen followed along eagerly and arrived at the room where the Mountain Hermit usually refined his treasures.

Upon arriving here, Wei Wen pushed open the door and entered. A scorching aura swept over him, and even immortal-level beings who touched this aura were instantly burned to ashes.

Wei Wen went inside and saw that the Mountain-Sitting Guest was surrounded by eighty-six flames of different colors.

Each of these flames is hundreds of meters in diameter.

The generated high temperature was extremely intense. Upon closer inspection, Wei Wen realized that they were all supreme treasures, and even the most powerful ones.

Holy crap, this is awesome!
Wei Wen's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected to see such an extraordinary treasure as soon as he entered.

"Don't be envious, this is a treasure I refined." The Mountain Guest was wary of Wei Wen as if he were a thief.

Wei Wen scratched his head awkwardly.

There was nothing he could do; he had taken a lot of money from Zuoshanke, and this guy was starting to get wary.

"Teacher, I think I've already told you about Senior Brother's situation. Do you have any ideas?" Wei Wen got straight to the point.

However, as he spoke, he glanced at the vast nebula behind the mountain dweller.

That's right, it's a massive nebula.

However, a sweep of divine power revealed that each of these floating nebula particles was actually a treasure, and a top-tier one at that.

Good heavens, how many treasures must there be here?
Wei Wen was deeply shocked. The sheer number of these creatures far exceeded the number of the Danger Explorers manufactured by his Red Star Arsenal.

Over the past few thousand years, Wei Wen has created trillions of adventurers for perilous environments.

Recent production declines are primarily due to the near depletion of raw materials. Currently, there is ample inventory, which is sufficient for the time being.

But compared to what's happening now, those trillions are nothing.

At least in Wei Wen's perception, this nebula was more than two light-years in size, and the densely packed particles were simply uncountable.

At this moment, Wei Wencai remembered that he had killed the master of Shihua Island, and the mountain dweller wanted to forge a treasure for him, which he hadn't come to collect yet.

Could this be the nebula behind us?

Thinking of this, Wei Wen rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Don't even think about it, this thing isn't you." The Mountain Guest poured a bucket of cold water on Wei Wen, completely chilling him to the bone.

"Your treasure is here, take it!" The Mountain Guest waved his hand, and a compass flew to Wei Wen's front.

"This is the Moro Compass. Use it as you see fit." The Mountain Guest didn't explain what the purpose of this property was.

Wei Wen didn't intend to find out more, since it was a gift and not his own, and he couldn't be bothered to pay too much attention to it.

(I don't want to go into detail here because it's too easy to write filler text, especially about the most powerful and rare items. It's too difficult; every time I come up with a skill, I lose a lot of brain cells.)
After putting away the compass, Wei Wen changed the subject to Zhen Lin.

"Teacher, do you think this can be done?" Wei Wen asked.

"It's hard to say about a wisp of a remnant soul. If I want to pass on my secret technique to someone else, it won't be a simple matter. At least you'll have to kill two True Gods before I agree to this, and they must be eighth-order True Gods." The Mountain-Sitting Guest was indeed not easy to fool.

It immediately became incredibly difficult.

However, while this hellish difficulty level was indeed extremely challenging for Luo Feng, it was nothing to Wei Wen.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave now." But before leaving, Wei Wen couldn't help but glance at the vast nebula behind the Mountain Guest: "Teacher, is that a priceless treasure?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, and don't always covet my things." The Mountain Guest looked at Wei Wen with a hint of suspicion.

"Fine, I won't say anything then, I'm leaving!" Wei Wen immediately activated the Divine Kingdom teleportation and ran off in a flash.

Only after Wei Wen left did the Mountain-Sitting Guest look at the vast nebula behind him and mutter to himself, "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to refine. If it were still at the God-King level, it wouldn't be so hard to refine."

"Teacher, is this for my junior brother?" Bodhi also came in and asked curiously as he looked at the vast nebula. It was the first time he had ever seen his teacher refine a supreme treasure, and it took such a long time.

More than a thousand years have passed, and it still hasn't been refined.

"This is to help him pass through the cycle of reincarnation, but we can't give it to him easily yet." After saying this, the Mountain Guest waved his hand to dismiss Bodhi, as he still needed to continue refining it.

.........

Wei Wen returned to Earth.

However, when his true self returned to Earth, he had barely settled into his home when the original ancestor appeared in his house.

"You're getting more and more rude by not even knocking." Wei Wen glanced at Yuan Shi, but still offered him drinks.

"There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Sigh, could it be something to do with your son's shady business?"

"You are a good judge of people."

Wei Wen: "..."

“Although my child is born from the lineage of me and your human race, and has been endowed with extremely high talent, his understanding of the laws still depends on himself. He has been stuck in the Immortal Realm for thousands of years now,” Yuanshi said.

Speak like a human being!

"I heard you brought a Seven Gods Tower from the Cosmic Sea," Yuan Shi said without any embarrassment.

"Seven Altars, someone changed its name. Oh, I roughly know what you want to do. You want your son to go and seduce those Seven Altars?" Wei Wen immediately understood the other party's intention.

Yuanshi smiled and nodded.

“Hey, I said your son is the disciple of the Primordial Ancestor. Why didn’t you just tell my teacher, Chaos, about this? Why are you telling me? Besides, your son is from the Earth lineage. I’ve already spoken to the Chaos City Lord. Anyone from the Earth lineage has priority.” Wei Wen didn’t mince words. “If it were that easy, my son would be too arrogant. With his smooth-sailing cultivation, he’s become far too arrogant and conceited. He doesn’t respect anyone. Only the Primordial Ancestor can suppress him.” Yuan Shi couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on as he said this, rubbing his temples.

It seems his son has caused him a lot of trouble.

Wei Wen's lips twitched involuntarily.

Damn it... I never thought that even Yuanshi would be tormented by his own son.

It seems that even though they are born of the same parents, they can't change the fact that they are both angry with their own sons.

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want from me? As for the Seven Divine Altar matter, just tell my teacher directly. As for the rest, let's not beat around the bush here." Wei Wen was genuinely uncomfortable; he wouldn't normally act like this.

There were times when I actually needed his help.

It seems this thing... has also inherited the perfect emotional genes of humans, and is gradually becoming more and more like a human being.

But that's also a good thing.

As long as this guy subconsciously believes he belongs to the human race, it's a good thing for him and for the Earth's lineage.

Yuanshi said directly, "I want you to dampen my son's arrogance. Even if my son is a Universe Venerable, he doesn't take him seriously. Yuanzu is really something, actually letting the Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord give him a set of supreme treasures. Ordinary Universe Venerables really can't handle him."

Thinking about this primitive thing, I couldn't help but feel a surge of energy.

Wei Wen's lips twitched slightly; he understood perfectly well that the original ancestor was plotting revenge.

Given the original ancestor's personality, it's absolutely impossible for him to provide his disciple with a complete set of supreme treasures. He would only give him something to protect his life if he wanted him to go out into the universe to gain experience.

The primordial ancestor was deliberately trying to provoke the original and avenge the suppression he suffered back then.

Cruel enough...

However, he also understood that the Primordial One knew the Primordial Ancestor's intentions, but he just couldn't go and settle accounts with him.

After all, with so many treasures protecting his son, it's only right and wrong for him to do what's best for his son. It would be somewhat immoral to curse them.

They completely blocked the road, leaving the primitives with nowhere to cause trouble.

"So what exactly do you want to do?" Wei Wen had a general idea of ​​what it was, but it was better to let Yuanshi say it himself.

Seeing that Wei Wen already knew his intentions, and since he didn't say anything, Yuan Shi could only speak up himself: "I want you to beat up my son, take most of his treasures, and leave him only a few to protect his life, so that he will know that the universe is dangerous and he cannot be too arrogant and self-respecting."

"Alright, just kill him directly, and I'll give him a full set of resurrection equipment." Wei Wen naturally disagreed; damn it, he was already willing to do this kind of errand-running work.

They actually wanted him to show mercy and not kill the other party. This was obviously an act, and he couldn't easily control it.

After all, he is the master of the universe; with a mere flick of his finger, that immortal being could be annihilated.

"This...is too cruel! You're not trying to get revenge on me, are you?"

"Get out, take it or leave it, if you don't want to, then quit!" Wei Wen said, about to kick Yuan Shi out.

The Chaos City Lord and the others treated Primal with utmost respect, but he wouldn't tolerate that; after all, the two were in the same boat.

It's no good for either of them to die.

He didn't think that Primal would dare to lay a hand on him.

Just as they were about to kick the person out, Yuanshi immediately put on a fawning face: "Alright, alright, fine, fine, I'll do whatever you say. It's time to teach this kid a lesson. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

"Tch, you should have said so earlier." Wei Wen glanced at Yuan Shi and then said, "I've helped you so much, shouldn't you give me something in return?"

"That's too cunning! It's just a small favor, and you still want something in return?" Yuanshi immediately objected.

"You've lived on Earth for so long, don't you know what human relationships and social etiquette are?"

"You...you're really ruthless, what do you want?" The original was instantly outmaneuvered.

It's all because my son is such a disappointment, causing me a whole bunch of trouble.

"I haven't decided yet. I'll talk to you later. Alright, I'm going to teach your son a lesson. Why don't you hide in my divine kingdom and take a look?" Wei Wen suggested.

"..." The corner of his primitive, human-like mouth twitched slightly: "I never thought you had such a perverse sense of humor?"

"Go if you want, don't go if you don't want to."

"Go away, I want to see how you, a murderer, killed my son." Yuan Shi finally gave in.

He simply slipped into Wei Wen's divine realm. In fact, he didn't need to enter Wei Wen's divine realm to witness everything happening outside.

And so, the two members of the torture squad were dispatched.

Wei Wen also inquired about the whereabouts of the ancestor and the origin.

They were told directly that the other side was currently on an extraterritorial battlefield, where they were wreaking havoc.

Within the boundaries of Jiangnan.

Wei Wen and Yuan Zu were sitting in a bar at that moment.

"Hey, godfather, you're really ruthless, you did it on purpose." Wei Wen said with a sly smile.

The progenitor said righteously, "What nonsense are you talking about? He is the son of the progenitor, and he should be given equipment befitting his status."

"After all, if he dies while training outside, I might be held accountable by the other side, and I'll inevitably be suppressed by them again." That's what Yuanzu said, but the smug smile on his lips completely betrayed him.

"Dele, I am on the side of justice."

"You know the truth."

The father and son looked at each other, clinked glasses, and laughed heartily.

It's rare to have tricked the original universe consciousness, so we should celebrate.

However, this also indirectly illustrates that no matter who becomes a father, children are their weakness and vulnerability.

.........

Extraterritorial battlefield.

At this moment, on a planet filled with poisonous gas, the Origin, an invincible being at the King level, is hunting down three invincible beings at the King level.

Two demons and one insect.

The three of them ran while cursing.

“Origin King, this bastard’s laws are higher than ours, and he’s covered in high-grade and top-grade treasures. Isn’t this just pure bullying?”

"That's right. The three of us each only have one high-grade treasure, so we can't control the other side at all."

"Damn it! Although those who die in the extraterrestrial battlefield will be resurrected after a thousand epochs, when we die, all our belongings disappear. I'm not reconciled!"

"Stop talking nonsense and run! I'll use a high-level treasure to protect you. Everyone, try to escape."
