Chapter 636: Everyone Comes for Profit
When Young Master Sang said his almost joking words, Ancestral Cang was momentarily taken aback.
Then he burst into hearty laughter.
“Haha, kid, have you messed up your brain recently?”
“Am I really going to let you meddle with my rule power?”
“Eh, that’s not true, Comrade Ancestral Cang,” Young Master Sang pretended to be serious. “You are also a dignified Primordial Deity. It’s only right to pay debts, you wouldn’t want to go back on that, would you?”
“Heh, what’s the use of your provoking tactics?” Ancestral Cang laughed nonchalantly, “Today, I’m just going to mooch off your points, what are you going to do about it?”
“If you have the guts, come and steal my rule power. I’m curious where you got those skills.”
Seeing Ancestral Cang still as arrogant as ever, Young Master Sang could only sigh in mild regret.
“Sigh, Mr. Ancestral Cang, look at what you’re saying.”
“Our Abyss Realm folks are just small-time players, what can we do against you?”
“However, this item has already been sold. We, the organizers, may not care, but just now, Mr. Long Huan exchanged his one hundred fifty thousand points for rule power… he might not be so indifferent.”
Ancestral Cang’s smile gradually faded.
Only then did he realize that almost the moment Young Master Sang announced the rule power was for sale, Huo Longyuan had already exchanged all his points for it.
He was directly taking two percent of Ancestral Cang’s rule power.
“… What do you mean?” Ancestral Cang coldly looked at Huo Longyuan.
“What do I mean?” Huo Longyuan smiled calmly, “Just following the rules.”
“Since the game rules allow points to be exchanged for rule power, naturally, I should reward myself for the points I’ve painstakingly accumulated over the year.”
“Ancestral Cang, don’t ruin our goodwill just because you aren’t honest.”
“You’re full of crap!” Ancestral Cang instantly exploded with rage, “What goodwill do I have with you? How dare you joke about my rule power?”
“When I was once devoured by that First Deity and lost my rule power, I swore that anyone daring to covet my rule power again, I would go all out to make them pay!”
Huo Longyuan merely shook his head in regret: “How embarrassing. A dignified Primordial Deity acting like a petulant child in public.”
“Less nonsense.”
Ancestral Cang still coldly sneered, “If you have the skills, come and steal my rule power.”
“Taking two fragments of that guy’s rule power really makes you feel like you’re the First Deity? Do you think you’re my match?”
“Just you alone is indeed not enough.”
Huo Longyuan calmly produced a communication device and displayed the points leaderboard.
Ancestral Cang’s smile froze again.
It wasn’t just Huo Longyuan.
Jiang Mei’s points had also turned to zero.
Followed by Old Woman Xi, Foolish Child, Xu Yao.
All the Primordial Deities’ points turned to zero one after another.
They all exchanged their points for rule power.
In the system store, Ancestral Cang’s five percent of the destruction rule was instantly sold out.
Ancestral Cang’s gaze finally turned cold. He swept over the five shadowy figures beside him with a fierce look, his tone heavy with a terrifying resentment:
“You all… plan to join forces against me?”
“You think too much.” Jiang Mei exhaled with a hint of disdain, “I’ve disliked you, you disgusting man, for a long time.”
“Today, we’ll call it what it is. Either you obediently follow the rules and hand over the rule power, or I’ll personally castrate you for Liu Ruyan, you worthless man.”
Upon hearing Liu Ruyan’s name, Ancestral Cang’s eyes turned blood red: “… How do you know about this?”
“Nonsense, I’m not foolish.”
Jiang Mei’s tone grew more sarcastic: “Every time you’re online bullying others, I already found your childish methods a bit familiar.”
“Sure enough, it took just a few points to uncover that the foul-mouthed Guo Nan, who retaliated against my sisters online, is this punk.”
“You’ve been hanging around the toilet men of the Abyss Realm for so long, you’ve picked up their stench. How can you even dare call yourself a Primordial Deity? Which Primordial Deity tries to seduce virtuous women?”
Ancestral Cang’s breath visibly grew heavier.
He instantly turned to Foolish Child: “What do you mean by that?”
“… How dare you bring it up?” Foolish Child suddenly shifted from his previous foolish demeanor to a serious and deep tone: “You ruined someone’s original family; that’s bad enough. You even reformed a family with Liu Ruyan.”
“But you absolutely shouldn’t.”
“… You shouldn’t have smashed Liu Ruyan’s child’s communication device.”
“You shouldn’t have forbade him from playing ‘Original Immortal’!”
Ancestral Cang: “?”
“Chen Xiaoming cried to me personally,” Foolish Child coldly looked at him, “He said his stepfather not only smashed his communication device but also said that those who play ‘Original Immortal’ are all a bunch of kids harmed by online games.”
“Dude, does playing ‘Original Immortal’ affect your dinner? What’s the difference between you fooling around with women and me playing ‘Original Immortal’? You even dare engage in online bullying against us filial sons?”
Ancestral Cang was so furious he could barely speak.
Because he didn’t even remember this incident.
After Liu Ruyan and her child reformed a family with him, Ancestral Cang initially disliked that brat born from an earthly insect, naturally finding excuses to beat him up regularly.
As for the reasons he used during the beatings, Ancestral Cang couldn’t even recall.
“You all… you just hold a grudge for such a reason?”
Ancestral Cang furiously exclaimed: “Don’t forget, you are Primordial Deities! This is just a game of Abyss Realm insects, just a poor attempt at sowing discord!”
“You all, are you really willing to go to war with me over something this trivial?”
At that moment, Xu Yao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
“… Ancestral Cang. Don’t you get it?”
“This has never been some conspiracy or divisive trick, but a blatant maneuver.”
“When that kid linked points with rule power, you should have realized.”
“Unfortunately, your arrogance, combined with your obsession with petty squabbles with the Abyss Realm insects, made you overlook even such a simple matter.”
His aged voice carried a hint of weariness, murmuring: “In this world, everyone comes for profit. We Primordial Deities are no different.”
“To say we’re willing to go to war over trivial matters is just a facade.”
“Our only benefit as Primordial Deities is rule power. If we have a chance to collectively devour a certain deity’s rule power, none of us would refuse.”
“And that person could be the former First Deity.”
“Now… naturally, it could be you.”
“As for the minor events happening in the Abyss Realm, they’re merely an excuse, a pretext for us to act.”
Xu Yao’s voice carried a hint of mockery, leisurely saying: “Now, you owe us all ‘money.'”
“Either pay up.”
“Or… we’ll take the initiative to collect our debts.”
