Master Changsheng

Chapter 191, page 188: The Immortal Seed

"Does this virtuous family really consider themselves the masters of the [Divine Court]?!"

"I'm not paying this money! Whoever wants to pay can pay!"

"Keep your voice down...be careful those barbarians don't hear you!"

"What are you afraid of! This isn't his 'good family's' territory!"

Inside various supply points, large and small, in the dense forest.

This has caused quite a stir today.

Over the years, the area where the Divine Court is located has long become their goldmine.

The term "Divine Court" is like a label; anything associated with it can fetch a high price.

It's as if the Divine Court possesses a secret method for achieving immortality, and that using items within the Divine Court would grant them immortality.

The magical beast cores produced within the Divine Court, the plants within the Divine Court…

Even the vast ocean waters within the Divine Court are bought back by nobles at high prices.

They say that the "Divine Court" ocean water, if consumed regularly, can grant immortality...

The fact that such an absurd claim was embraced by so many nobles is truly absurd.

Relying on the Divine Court, numerous merchants, bounty hunters, and others emerged, operating both inside and outside the Divine Court.

Their lives were originally quite stable. With the prestigious name of the Divine Court, they could easily make some innovations related to the Divine Court and live a fulfilling life.

All of this has changed until today.

Early in the morning, someone entered the [Divine Court], just about to start their work for the day, when the [House of Goodness Guard] came knocking on their door.

They said that not paying the entry fee constituted illegal immigration.

Now you have two choices: either pay the remaining fees or they'll dismantle your fish and feed it to them.

The ruthlessness of the Good Family is well-known. After dealing with them for several years, many people have come to know that although the Good Family is named "Good Family," they have absolutely nothing to do with "goodness."

The most classic example is that when the Divine Court was first established, the four major human associations, as usual, sent people to the Divine Court.

Using pretexts such as "for the future development of humanity," they demanded that virtuous families join them in developing the "Divine Court"...

In the past, the excuse of the four major human associations was always effective.

Using the general trend of the human race as an excuse, the four major associations, which are the top forces of the human race, are invincible and achieve twice the result with half the effort when dealing with matters concerning the human race.

However, they encountered... a house of goodness.

When the Good House learned of the purpose of the envoys from the four major human associations...

Their communication was very unpleasant.

Ultimately, the envoys of the four major human associations were killed by the Good Family and their bodies hung above the city walls as a warning.

From then on, they slaughtered every one of the four major human associations they encountered.

It wasn't until later, after the four major human associations made compensation, that the House of Goodness stopped its actions of slaughtering the four major human associations.

It was through this point that everyone was suddenly jolted awake.

These guys have never been good people.

There were rumors that they were a group of barbarians.

It wasn't just a rumor; it was a true story about the lottery!

Later, the Good Family maintained its consistent style, slaughtering wave after wave of ignorant creatures, and thus firmly established itself as a barbarian family.

Even after Chaos City was renamed the House of Goodness, it couldn't conceal their brutal behavior...

Therefore, faced with the two options offered by the Good House Guard, those who were arrested never doubted whether the Good House Guard would actually take action against them.

There was no other way; it was all for survival.

He spent a lot of resources to pay the entry fee.

Simply paying the fees isn't enough.

You must spend at least 25 days out of the 30 days per month on "Good People Island," otherwise your entry fee will be forfeited and you will need to pay again...

And various other "restrictive" regulations.

If it's just a matter of paying the fee, that's fine.

After all, the beings who frequently travel to and from the Divine Court are accustomed to the kind-hearted people who value money above all else.

However, there are various additional conditions.

If they were to comply completely, it would be tantamount to them selling themselves to a good family.

This is what they are unwilling to accept.

...

Polpi is in charge of this sea area formerly belonging to the Kingdom of Shak.

Compared to the other officials in charge, Polpi was more brutal and more animalistic.

The knight who once had no mount has become a figure of some importance in the Good Family.

In the past, in order to survive, he groveled and lived without dignity, worse than pigs and dogs.

When someone roasts his own mount right in front of him, he not only can't be angry, but he has to clap and cheer.

Such past experiences are like a thorn, forever stuck in Polpi's heart.

After he gained power, that thorn in his heart became his weapon.

Polpi vowed that he never wanted to experience anything like that again in his life.

He is also one of the few people with extremely high loyalty, even without signing a "contract" with Ankai.

In Polpi's heart, there was only Ankai.

He would give anything to do for Ankai.

Because he knew.

Ankai restored my dignity.

Therefore, when faced with the decrees issued by Ankai, Polpi was always at the forefront.

That's also why he was able to lead a sixth-tier cultivator despite only having a fourth-tier cultivation level.

Sitting atop the ship, Polpi had a spies reporting below about the reactions of the people after the House of Goodness issued its new orders.

After listening, Polpi frowned.

Anger surfaced on his chubby face.

After a second of thought, the order was given:

"Break free from the restrictions and slay the traitors!"

The next moment, ten giant ships, each ten thousand meters long, suddenly broke through the barrier.

For the first time, the Good House Guard, led by the fourth-tier professional Polpi, has carried out orders outside the Divine Court!

that day.

Blood flowed like a river in the dense forest.

Under Polpi's orders, the Good House Guard slaughtered nearly 100,000 lives, silencing the whispers of the people.

If it weren't for the arrival of seventh and eighth-tier professionals, Polpi wouldn't have been prepared to back down.

infamy?

He never cared.

In his mind, anyone who dared to provoke An Kai was going against him!

Polpi has a very clear understanding of himself.

Everything he has is thanks to An Kai.

He was willing to give his life to uphold Ankai's dignity!

...

How many people died?

"Teacher, a total of 134512 people have died or been injured."

"We have 14532 dead or wounded."

"The rest are people from the secluded forest."

After listening to Wayne's report.

An Kai waved his hand dismissively: "Give him another 20,000 aliens."

"These bastards eat my food, drink my water, use my things, and now that I'm charging them a little fee, this one doesn't want it, that one won't allow it."

"We should beat them like Polpi did, really hard!"

"To deal with these scum, you have to beat them until they feel the pain, then they'll understand who's in charge!"

An Kai's eyes flashed fiercely.

He possesses a side quest, so he is aware of the situation on the mainland, while most of the outsiders are unaware of it. Therefore, they try every means to disobey Ankai's new orders.

If he weren't unable to appear outside the barrier, he would have personally taken action to clean up the mess long ago...

Wayne frowned slightly and tentatively asked, "Teacher, won't this attract their attention...?"

"You mean they're disgusted? They won't come here anymore?"

Wayne nodded when Ankai asked him.

Seeing this, Ankai stood up, walked to Wayne's side, and patted Wayne on the shoulder.

"Our goal has never been just humanity, but the entire continent."

"Furthermore, if our [Divine Court] offers enough benefits, do you think they won't come?"

"Don't you know that even a glass of seawater here is being sold for an exorbitant price?"

Wayne pondered for a moment, then bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

Ankai chuckled, returned to his seat, and beckoned. Two elven maids and two witch maids came to his side to serve him.

Seeing this, Wayne whispered, "Sir, I'll take my leave now."

"Um."

An Kai responded softly with his eyes closed.

Then she gently patted his shoulder with two soft hands: "Use a little more force."

...

"Damn it! How are these guys so strong!"

"Are those old geezers stupid? What time is it?! Still waiting for the highest bidder!!!"

"No, this can't go on. If it continues, I'll be dragged down to my death by those idiots sooner or later!"

The Orc King, the king of the orcs.

now…

After careful consideration, he decided to run away...

He had a premonition that if he stayed here, he would most likely die here.

The passage opened, and a group of beings calling themselves "immortals" rushed out.

Without offering a single explanation, they engaged in a fierce battle with the orcs.

As a ninth-tier orc powerhouse and a young and vigorous ninth-tier professional, the Orc King naturally became the main force.

Throughout the day, there are at least one major battle, and sometimes two or three!

Meanwhile, those old undead orcs who were also at the ninth rank not only refused to help, but also insisted that other forces must pay money if they wanted to enter.

The Orc King realized what was happening in just a few days.

He was young and strong, and he didn't care about immortality or anything like that, so the so-called secret methods of immortality held no appeal for him.

Why should he fight to the death for those old orcs who usually oppose him?

Besides, it wasn't him who wanted to open the passage.

Why should only the orcs bear the risks when danger strikes?

After figuring out the details, the Orc King became increasingly angry.

I've made up my mind, time to run away!

Let those damned orcish old bastards face it themselves, and at the same time, stop controlling the passage and let those "immortal" creatures in the passage enter the continent!

Let those powerful forces experience what life is like for orcs.

The following day, the Orc King, accompanied by his carefully selected elite Orcs and all the royal resources, used a one-time long-range teleportation array left behind by his royal family to flee...

No one knows where the Orc King went with his elite Orcish forces...

The next day.

When Ankai saw this message in the [Side Story].

I almost spat out a mouthful of ice water.

He summoned the Eighth Prince and the Twenty-Eighth Prince of the Orcs, Guleil, and got straight to the point:

"Is your father a beastman or not?"

Guleil and the Eighth Prince were taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "Yes, that's him."

"Then why is he so cowardly despite being only at the ninth level?!"

Eighth Prince of the Orcs: ...

Orc Prince Twenty-Eight: ...

Being cowardly seems to be a skill passed down through generations of their orc royal family.

Every royal family has a few particularly timid members—no, not timid, but steady.

For example, the current Orc King and the Twenty-Eighth Orc Prince are representatives of stability...

After some inquiry, the two orc princes also did not know where their father had gone.

However, the orc prince Guleil provided a useful piece of information.

If it's said to be the location of his father, it must be a desolate, uninhabited place...

In the middle of the continent, in a desolate and uninhabited place, An Kai frowned as he pondered, realizing there seemed to be quite a few such places.

But places that can provide for the orcs...

An Kai was stunned...

"Could this guy have gone to Middle-earth?!"

...

The Orc King and his men abandoned their posts and fled.

The "Long-lived Species" in the anti-channel instantly lost its main force.

The orc elders were suddenly dumbfounded.

Faced with the ferocious "immortal" creatures in the passage, the group pushed each other aside, none of them willing to go up.

Those who seek the "secret to immortality" have several things in common.

1: Life expectancy is short.

2: Cherish life.

Instead of making them sacrifice their limited life force to fight for the orc kingdom, it's better to just kill them.

After much deliberation, the old orc led his forces away abruptly.

They decided to let those powerful forces help them solve the problem.

Anyway, the passage is in the orc kingdom, so even if they find the "secret to immortality," they will be among the victims.

The orcs' surrender was, in a way, a good thing for the "immortal race" inside the passage.

Guided by Thorne of the Longevity Organization, the "Longevity Race" instantly swept across the Orc continent!

They hunted orcs, extracted their blood, and processed it into "elixirs of immortality"...

It took less than a month.

The Orcish Kingdom has fallen!

Countless orcs scattered and fled.

A large portion of these orcs chose to flee to the "Holy Land of Other Races"...

—Good People Island, where the Good People's Home is located.

...

"An immortal species?"

Good People Island, inside the Castle of the Good House.

Before Ankai stood a "long-lived species" captured from the orc kingdom...

Its strength is around the fifth level.

Its entire body was grayish-white, and its appearance was no different from that of humans, except that its skin was grayish-white, like lime.

Even the eyeballs only have a tiny black dot.

This immortal species appeared after Ankai.

Suddenly, he stopped grinning and grimacing.

He huddled on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably…

"Hey! Boss, your brilliance has tamed this beast!"

"Our boss is invincible!"

Upon seeing Ankai appear, Nurnexus immediately offered a flattering compliment without a second thought.

Before Ankai appeared, this immortal creature bared its teeth at everyone around it, showing no fear even of the Golden Dragon or the current princess of the eighth-tier Black Dragon Clan.

He roared as he faced the crowd.

Only after An Kai appeared did this immortal creature suddenly change its appearance.

Curled up on the ground, it didn't seem like a pretense.

And there was a puddle of water between his legs...

An Kai's figure flickered, and he used the [Brute Force Staff] to nudge the immortal creature a few times, intending to test whether it was an imposter.

But then, the immortal being suddenly twitched its limbs, and its eyes widened...

Foaming at the mouth…

died…

"You're awesome!"

"The little immortal being was terrified to death by the adult's glorious image after just one glance!"

"It seems that this immortal being was nothing but a heretic, who, upon encountering a righteous and noble being like you, was purified by your radiant light and chose to atone for its sins with its death!"

Nurneseius was loudly flattering Ankai from the side...

Although there are some exaggerated aspects to Nurneshti's work.

But this immortal creature was indeed scared to death by An Kai…

Holding the [Strength Staff], Ankai was certain that he was worried his overwhelming aura would scare the other party to death.

All pressure was averted…

He appeared as a sunny, cheerful young man, dressed in an exquisite robe primarily in gold and white…

Frowning, An Kai was somewhat puzzled…

"Why would you be so scared of me?"

As he was pondering, the words of Hanks and Dog Egg came through the [Contract] in his mind.

"My lord! That woman is truly amazing; she really did discover the superior-grade magic stone!"

An Kai shook off the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

A smile appeared on his face, and his figure soared into the sky, flying towards the portal of the [Divine Court Secret Realm]...

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Wayne his orders...

"Collect more long-lived species."

"Furthermore, issue a notice informing the orcs that our House of Goodness always welcomes them, and there is no entry fee; it's permanently free!"

"Oh, right, the orcs and dragons are also permanently free..."
