Since Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three had already spoken up, and with Killing God Senior inadvertently putting them in a moral bind, Wei Chen felt there was no need to continue hesitating.
He looked at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three, saying calmly, "It's not difficult to take you out, but what do you plan to do once you're outside?"
Uncle pondered for a moment and replied, "Naturally, we will find a place to establish our influence."
"In the Endless Divine Realm, there are spies from Bloodshed Shop everywhere. No matter where you go within the Endless Divine Realm, as soon as you show your face, the main forces of Bloodshed Shop will come knocking. Do you believe that?" Wei Chen said, his tone subtly threatening as he gazed at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three.
Uncle responded, "I can have everyone else stay in my True God World while I walk alone in the Endless Divine Realm, looking for suitable candidates to bring into my True God World."
Wei Chen scoffed lightly. "You're thinking too simplistically. Things are far more complicated than you imagine. In the Endless Divine Realm, spies from Bloodshed Shop are everywhere. If any one of you shows your face, the outcome will be the same."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were intimidated by Wei Chen's words. In reality, there weren't that many people from Bloodshed Shop in the Endless Divine Realm. Uncle's idea was feasible; as long as he didn't expose his strength and moved quietly, there shouldn't be any major issues.
In fact, most of the people from Bloodshed Shop in the Endless Divine Realm were responsible for maintaining formations and didn't have much time to investigate other situations. Wei Chen's words were merely meant to scare Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three; it worked quite well as they all believed him.
They exchanged glances and silently communicated their thoughts.
"Big Brother, what should we do?"
"That kid doesn't seem like a fake. The Endless Divine Realm has already become a subordinate Spatial Plane of Bloodshed Shop and frequently supplies Talented Disciples to them. This ensures that Bloodshed Shop can maintain its strong foundation even after losing the Green Energy Stone."
"Yes, this method seems unworkable."
Reluctantly, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three realized that since they had never been to the Endless Divine Realm or explored it themselves, they were unaware of its conditions and thus fell for Wei Chen's trickery.
Wei Chen cleverly seized on this point to make Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three suffer a hidden loss. A single hidden loss might not seem significant at the negotiation table, but after one loss comes another. Their lack of understanding of the situation meant that Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were destined to suffer.
Uncle transmitted a message to Second Uncle and Great-Uncle Three: "Calm down; let's observe the situation first. That kid is not easy to deal with; he doesn't seem like a young person but rather like an old hand in this game."
"Indeed. Are young people nowadays this shrewd?" Great-Uncle Three complained inwardly.
Uncle cleared his throat a few times and looked gently at Wei Chen. "Wei Chenyu, where do you think we should go once we are outside?"
"In my opinion," Wei Chen replied with a smile, "the best choice would be to cultivate within my True God World. If I encounter any Talented Disciples, I will also send them into my True God World to become disciples of the Lost City for you to nurture. What do you think?" He looked at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three with a cheerful expression while his eyes scanned their faces closely for any subtle changes in their expressions.
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three found themselves at a loss. They all understood that relying on others was never a good situation, as it came with various limitations. However, given the current circumstances, refusing was not an option. What else could they do?
After a moment of contemplation, Uncle said, "This is acceptable, but won't it be troublesome for us to stay in your True God World?"
"Helping seniors is my honor; it won't be a bother at all," Wei Chen replied with a cheerful smile.
Uncle let out a long sigh and said, "Alright then, it's settled. After we go out, we'll reside in your True God World, but you must guarantee that if we wish to leave, you will let us."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were well aware of what True God World entailed. Once they entered someone else's True God World, they would be subject to its restrictions, leaving them with little freedom to choose their actions. In other words, they would be like fish on a chopping board, entirely at the mercy of another's will.
Within True God World, the owner held absolute control; anything they wished to do required the owner's consent.
Entering Wei Chen's True God World meant that although he might still be considered the junior of Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three in name, in reality, Wei Chen had already become their "master."
What a tragic situation this was.
Unfortunately, having been trapped deep within Azure Green Pool for so long, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three had no leverage. Wei Chen was the only one capable of leading them out of this place; they had no choice but to trust him. The truth was that this suffocating predicament was something they had never experienced even when they first arrived in Endless Divine Realm during the appearance of that Supreme-Level Expert. It was truly unbearable.
Wei Chen smiled slyly like a fox as he looked at Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three. He nodded heavily and said, "In my True God World, you will also have the power to make choices. When the opportunity arises, I will let you out to join me and Killing God Senior in fighting against Bloodshed Shop. At that point, we won't be outnumbered anymore."
Upon hearing Wei Chen's words, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three felt a sinking sensation in their hearts. This was it; they were thoroughly on a pirate ship now!
But given the circumstances, once aboard this ship, they could only brace themselves and continue onward—there was no room for regret. After all, confronting Bloodshed Shop in Lost City was inevitable. If Bloodshed Shop learned of their whereabouts, an army would come without hesitation. With the current strength of Lost City against Bloodshed Shop, it would be akin to striking a rock with an egg—there would be no chance of victory.
Thus, while Wei Chen's proposal made Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three feel like mere pawns being used by him, he too aimed to deal with Bloodshed Shop. Regardless of how things turned out, he was still on the same front line; there was no need to dwell on such matters.
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three began to compromise and retreat. At the negotiation table, this was indeed a very poor start; once such a situation arose, subsequent negotiations would only become increasingly unfavorable.
But what could they do? The situation was beyond their control. Wei Chen was their only lifeline; even if it were a poisonous one, they had to hold on tightly. Missing this opportunity meant they might never find another one again. Perhaps if they waited too long for the next chance, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three would perish at the bottom of Azure Green Pool.
In truth, they were immortal beings without any injuries; however, the emptiness and loneliness were what truly drove one to despair. No matter how resolute one's spirit might be after being trapped for millions of years, thoughts of choosing death would inevitably arise.
Unlike Killing God Senior who had also spent millions of years within that Memory Stone but was already a Soul Body with no possibility of death—he managed to endure it. The walls inside the Memory Stone bore countless carvings expressing his boredom; this alone indicated that Killing God Senior had nearly gone mad from idleness. Yet his mindset remained positive; he knew how to adjust himself and held onto hope. During this time some members from Temple of Martial Arts entered the Memory Stone to provide him with some amusement. In contrast, Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were utterly trapped beneath Azure Green Pool without any source of entertainment; it was only natural that they couldn't endure it any longer.
"Wei Chenyu, your intentions seem a bit too obvious, don't you think? Although we all need to deal with the Bloodshed Shop, the way you speak makes it sound like we are your subordinates. That feels a bit off," Uncle said, looking at Wei Chen calmly.
Wei Chen shook his head. "Senior, I didn't mean it that way. We are here to support each other. The Bloodshed Shop is our common enemy, and we should stand together and help one another. When the Bloodshed Shop's army arrives, relying solely on me and Killing God Senior will be difficult. And depending only on the power of your Lost City won't be enough to face the Bloodshed Shop either."
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three all shook their heads in unison. Even at their peak, combined with the massive power of the Lost City, they were not a match for the Bloodshed Shop. Now, they were even less capable of standing against it.
"Exactly. We can only unite to have a chance of survival. If we scatter, the Bloodshed Shop will become our nightmare. I want you to stay in my True God World for this very reason," Wei Chen explained with a cheerful smile.
Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three understood Wei Chen's intention well. However, hearing it from him felt like being treated as juniors, which was quite displeasing.
Second Uncle chimed in, "Wei Chenyu, we can agree to your terms. We are indeed on the same front against the Bloodshed Shop; working together gives us a better chance. But there is one thing we need to clarify first."
"I'm all ears," Wei Chen shrugged noncommittally. No matter what Uncle, Second Uncle, or Great-Uncle Three wanted, his attitude remained unchanged: within his True God World, he was the boss, and everyone had to follow his lead. Though he didn't state it outright, everyone understood that principle. Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three were seasoned veterans; they grasped Wei Chen's meaning immediately. In their view, giving Wei Chen a nominal position of authority wasn't a big deal at all. After all, he was just a kid who enjoyed the thrill of being in charge; once the burden on his shoulders became too heavy, he would willingly step down from that position.
Young people were like that; Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three expressed their understanding.
Second Uncle looked deeply at Wei Chen and said, "Regardless of where we are, the Green Energy Stone is something we fought hard to obtain; it represents our will to survive. We will never compromise on the Green Energy Stone; its control must always remain in our hands. If you try to mess with that, we will fight you to the death."
"Don't think that just because we're in your True God World we can't do anything about it. If necessary, my brothers and I will detonate our True God World; your True God World will definitely be destroyed."
Second Uncle was a ruthless character; his words made Wei Chen feel a sense of caution.
