Chapter 167 - 167: Did I Allow You to Negotiate?
Outside the city gate, the leaders of many major forces and large clans were all moved by the black dragon’s terrifying strength.
They weren’t those reckless youths who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. They had a deeper understanding of the difference between the strong and the weak.
The black dragon’s powerful performance was only hidden. What was even more terrifying was Gu Changqing, who was the focus of their attention.
Such a powerful appearance had already shown such a shocking effect, which had discouraged many creatures with divine runes.
The remaining major powers, as well as the wandering Divine Runemasters, were all facing a problem. In front of Blue Star’s powerful Star Emperor, would they still be able to enter Universe City? Or not?
“Star Emperor Gu, aren’t you being too overbearing? Is Universe City yours?
You can’t just let Blue Star monopolize this benefit, right?”
“That’s right. This Universe City belongs to all of the universe’s creatures. Star
Emperor Gu, your Blue Star is being too unreasonable by doing this.”
“Star Emperor Gu, if there’s a cake, everyone should share it together. It’s just like doing business. If you make a profit, others shouldn’t.”
The ones who spoke were the Western Universe’s Hidden Prison Evil Emperor, the Nine-Colored Demoness beside him, as well as the Supreme Dao Commerce Chamber’s leader, Supreme Dao Emperor.
They were all big shots over at their universe.
Their words immediately garnered the support of all the Divine Runemasters around.
“The Hidden Prison Evil Emperor is right! Nobody should learn from Blue Star’s shameless ways!”
“Supreme Dao Emperor is right. Harmony breeds wealth. If you are good, then I am good, and everyone will be good!”
“Star Emperor Gu, let me tell you, there’s no way you can take this all for yourself! Isn’t that right, everyone?”
“Right, no way!”
“We don’t agree!”
Countless voices echoed in the starry sky.
Gu Changqing’s eyes were like lightning as he swept his gaze across the cheering Divine Runemasters. A cold snort came out from his nose.
Bang! Bang! Humph!
These jeering creatures were still dancing in agreement, but in the next second, their bodies disintegrated, and blood splattered across the starry sky.
Gasp!
All the other creatures gasped.
The universe’s history was more than a billion years old. Had anyone ever heard of countless Divine Runemasters spilling their blood within its skies?
Now, they had heard, seen, and even experienced it themselves. In an instant, the surrounding grew silent. No creature dared to make a sound. Zhang Hu’s voice broke the silence, “Oh my god, just how strong is Boss?”
An absurd thought appeared in the minds of all the other creatures.
They must be dreaming!
Otherwise, how could such an existence appear in the universe?
The Divine Runemasters wanted to go up to the table and snatch the food, but Gu Changqing snorted and directly flipped the table over, hugging the pot and swallowing all the food for himself?
But was there any other way?
How easy would it be when it came to an ant shaking a tree?
However, these ants only wanted to have some food and drinks. Were they not even given such an opportunity?
So what if they were unwilling?
Under such a terrifying power, who would have the guts to be unwilling?
There was probably only one type of creature who would have the courage, and that would be merchants!
As long as it was profitable, merchants would take all sorts of risks.
Therefore, Supreme Dao Emperor immediately said,”Star Emperor Gu, I think we can discuss this…”
At this moment, Gu Changqing hadn’t activated his divine runes. He was dressed in his usual military attire, and his gaze was disdainful and intimidating. He looked at these shameless Divine Runemasters as if he was looking at a group of ants.
“Did I allow you to negotiate?”
“Universe City was originally built by the ancestors of Blue Star’s human race. When it descended a billion years ago, you were lucky enough to enter and explore it.”
“So why are you complaining? Not only did none of you know how to be grateful for the kindness you received from the human race, but you also take it for granted?”
Gu Changqing was too lazy to say more and only waited for the city gates to open. However, there were some who did not have eyes, so it did not matter if they were casually destroyed.
There would always be some shameless people who wanted a good beating!
“Nonsense! Since when did Universe City belong to your Blue Star? Why didn’t I know about it?”
“What thieving logic. This city has always been in our Western Universe. It clearly belongs to our universe, but now you say it belongs to Blue Star.”
“Even if Universe City has some connections with your planet, it has long become ownerless after hundreds of millions of years.”
Universe City was simply too big and mysterious. Even a strand of hair from it could contain many unimaginable opportunities.
After weighing the pros and cons, some Divine Runemasters were still unafraid of death.
On the other hand, Gu Changqing’s face gradually sank.
Universe City was only open for a limited amount of time, and he didn’t want to waste time on these ants.
However, if one of them took the initiative to court death, then he couldn’t be blamed.
Seeing the light flowing on Gu Changqing’s body, Huang Di suddenly said, “Your Excellency the Star Emperor, you and everyone else can go in first. Leave this place to me!”
Zhang Hu was standing on top of the black dragon’s head. When he heard Huang Di’s words, he interrupted, “Senior, I’ll stay here. You and Boss can go find opportunities together!”
Huang Di looked at Zhang Hu with relief. His gaze swept across Gu Changqing’s subordinates and finally landed on Gu Changqing himself.
“With such character and potential, why wouldn’t our human race prosper!”
He was filled with heroic spirit as he recalled the brothers who had fought with him in the universe. On this day, he recalled the memories of the past. The current human race, under Gu Changqing’s leadership, was many times stronger than his era.
“Senior, are you complimenting me?”
Zhang Hu touched his head in a flattered manner, revealing a simple and honest smile.
Huang Di patted his shoulder and said, “Little Hu, follow His Excellency the Star Emperor into the city. The future belongs to you all. Don’t disappoint this old man, and just leave these creatures to me.”
After saying that, his aura changed and divine light appeared.
In an instant, countless spacetimes overlapped. Five-colored divine light surged from the starry sky in all directions and gathered around Huang Di.
“This is… The Transcendent Realm?”
Zhang Hu’s pupils constricted. Seeing this, he knew that his combat strength was far inferior than Huang Di’s. He didn’t expect that in just a day, the latter would have completely surpassed him by a level. There was no need for him to show off anymore!
He felt embarrassed.
Under the ridicule of Zhao Feng and the others, Zhang Hu stood behind Gu Changqing.
“Then I’ll leave this place to Senior Huang.”
Gu Changqing smiled and said to the Yellow Emperor after looking at Zhang Flu.
Huang Di nodded. “Don’t worry.. With me around, no one can enter!”
