CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 387: EARNING SOME EXTRA MONEY

The winds of the world surge and swell.

Even the lofty three Chaos Giant Gods from Outer Heaven have cast their gazes with compassion towards the strongest protagonist of this era, Ji Cao.

He is like the hub of the whole Multi-Dimensional World, the fuse that ignites the war of the Divine Upper across all Multi-Dimensional Worlds.

Outside the Cosmos, in Subspace.

Ancient Divine Upper beings remain stuck outside, not daring to cross the river, forcibly entering within.

"This Ji Cao is truly a formidable person!"

"Indeed, he is a person worthy of respect. He seeks to transcend, to challenge the Gods, even at the risk of facing death beyond the confines."

They can only watch like an audience in a theater, through the entrance to that Thorny World, observing the scenes of civilization within the glass.

The more they watched, the more astonished they became, the more thrilling it appeared.

They have almost witnessed the rise of Ji Cao from his youth to his ascension to prominence, each scene stirring deep emotions within their hearts.

"Everyone, what do you think of the situation?"

"The epochs’ chessboard, the pieces of sentient beings, a war of Multi-Dimensional civilizations that spanned countless ages; they have already begun vying for the positions of Ancient Gods within."

"These rules and orders, when carefully chewed on, are truly intricate and interesting, interlocking like the Mythical Universe, magnificent and splendid."

"Indeed, as classes ascend, life flows like a living stream, heroes break through the Crystal Wall, treading into Chaos. Even Ancient Gods cannot monopolize the world too much, unlike our own moribund state."

"And this is just a corner of the prison relic area; what of the vast Multi-Dimensional Universe, the ultimate Crystal Wall Chaos Eternal Divine Country, the Ancient Creator God, and the Multi-Dimensional World Tree—what kind of scenery is that?"

They look at that Immortal Grass, increasingly feeling it resembles a mythological legend.

Each incredible term and myth appears as if in a dream.

A precious Immortal Grass, birthed only once every few eras, about to emerge in Chaos, contested by the Gods—is this not the depiction of those legendary scenes?

The exceedingly rare Chaos Cyan Lotus, the emergence of Ancient Immortal Medicine...

It turns out those far-fetched novel stories were true!

This setup is quite refreshing.

And before the emergence of this Immortal Grass, he was even a formidable being in a region of the world, but after his breakthrough, he was expelled into Chaos, bound for besiegement once he emerged as Immortal Elixir.

This setup is quite reasonable.

What seemed even more absurd to them is that, in reality, there truly existed characters behaving brainlessly arrogant and face-slapping, embodying all sorts of idiotic antics along the way, right in this Immortal Dao world.

The absurd novels turn out to be reality; it was a revelation to them.

Of course, some of these Ancient Gods inquired about what these absurd novels entail.

These are clearly rare civilizations over countless years that have not developed the spiritual culture of novels and movies, devoid of entertainment and games; how these technological civilizations survived over billions of years without them is a mystery... other Divine Upper beings also shared some materials.

At this time, while blocked outside, these outside Divine Upper beings attempted to negotiate and converse.

"We should band together; we can’t stand this deadlock any longer."

"Yes, if we acquire this Immortal Grass, we are bound to have great opportunities for transcendence."

"I very much agree with Ji Cao’s view; that Life Struggle Pill is simply toxic. Our vanguard sent in, each a genius, became as if affected by neurotoxins, turning foolish and rebelling against us."

This Life Struggle Pill’s problem is too great.

It trapped them, making them also, like Ji Cao, feel that this Immortal Dao is actually a Heretical Dao.

"Teaming up to enter together sounds nice, but who knows if you’ll stab us in the back?"

"Didn’t we already count the numbers? Thirteen, let’s reveal ourselves and enter together."

"Ridiculous, saying thirteen means thirteen? Who knows how many have remained silent; there could actually be one hundred and thirty, or one billion three hundred million, and once we thirteen cross over, they might jointly attack us and kill us."

Everyone was arguing.

Though everyone covets the Immortal Grass, the stalemate persists.

Unobservable Level, after all, is unobservable...

None can see the others; who knows what these old cunning dogs are up to?

They might be chatting earnestly, while actually performing a pole dance in front of you, acting coquettishly, salivating lewdly—what can you do?

Moreover, at the Crystal Series Cosmos’s entrance, they’ve yet to collide, possibly because their bodies are several light years apart.

After all, for beings of their level, their "vision" is exceedingly good.

"These guys also want to enter and eat the Immortal Grass; there are just too many covetous eyes."

Li Qing, having nothing else to do, also went invisible outside the Crystal Wall, and as a Harmonization level Divine Upper, listened to these guys chatting in the crowd.

The Crystal Series Cosmos is indeed developing, but we, the audience not subject to control, are highly valued by Li Qing as well.

He shook his head silently.

Indeed, with these broadcast-lured crops unable to enter, facing their plight also leaves me troubled!

You desire the Immortal Grass’s body, but I crave your lives.

Yet, for the time being, Li Qing lacked a good plan; he wanted to let them in, but the problem of them attacking each other the moment they reveal themselves is not something he can solve.

Trusting others not to backstab is akin to believing the neighbor’s elder Wang going to the hotel with your wife is just to stay up playing Ludo—what’s the difference?

Human nature cannot withstand testing.

This has already formed a natural mechanism of barriers.

And to solve this issue, there’s no good method; currently, the only solution Li Qing has is to break the deadlock by using a radical method.

So, while these guys were chatting, a new voice came through: "Everyone, I have a way to let you in."

Hearing this new voice, everyone knew that finally, a civilization that had remained dormant was speaking up.

"What method do you have?"

"Tell us."

Voices around responded.

Li Qing chuckled and said, "I can sell you original bonfires; once you have the bonfire, you can reveal yourselves, and you all needn’t worry about unexpected ambushes."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt inexplicably apprehensive.

Those who could provide bonfires were Divine Upper-level civilizations indeed!

Even from the Extraordinary System...

Was this broadcast not only attracting an Extraordinary Civilization from a Middle Thousand World but also luring a Great Thousand World system in secret?

In an instant, they recalled everything, thinking of someone possessing a bonfire, already in the shadows, ready to light up an area, ambush, and kill, causing them to break into a cold sweat.

Everyone knows, while appearing invisible all over, they are actually not far apart, hidden within the sea of fragments. If someone could light the bonfire, inch by inch lighting and extinguishing zones, then instantly attacking you would be incredibly dangerous.

"What are you all nervous about? I just arrived here, invited as a guest." The voice held a hint of amusement.
