I dont know what will happen in the future, but I know that you are incapable of protecting her offspring right now. Besides, there arent many things in the Palace of World Domination. It is almost completely worn out. What you see now are just the leftovers. So, I only have one question for you. Will you be able to keep the child safe if someone were to find out that the child is with you? the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination said lightly. Its face was a blur as its golden figure stood in the void, releasing a strong aura.

The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination had a touch of gentleness when it looked back at the platform below. If it werent for the sake of them being part of the Immortal Palace in the past, it would probably be even more merciless. It wasnt stupid, so how could it not see through Jiang Chen and the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creations intentions?

It didnt mind letting the offspring go with the two of them if they could give it a straight answer. However, they couldnt even give it the assurance it needed for it to be a fair deal.

<The terms you mentioned are too harsh for Jiang Chen. He is a mere mortal right now.>

The Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation was a little dissatisfied as it rebuked. It didnt expect the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination to be so strict. The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination was probably close to saying that they were not qualified to raise the child now.

So you do know that he is mortal, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination spoke in a calm voice. Then why are you hoping I would give the child over to him?

<I> The Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation couldnt find the right reply then. <I will train the child to be stronger if you allow the child to go with Jiang Chen. It might not be as bad as you think.>

Hearing that, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination shook its head in disappointment as he fell silent. It would have driven the two of them out of here if it wasnt because they were old acquaintances.

Right then, Jiang Chen suddenly sucked in a deep breath and stood up, his chin lifted to look at the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination who was in the sky.

I understand the reason you say that, Senior, but isnt it unreasonable for you to not give me a chance? he asked calmly.

It is true that I dont have what it takes to protect the child right now, and neither do I have the resources to support the childs growth, But as long as I am alive, I will not allow any harm to befall upon this child. I will also treat the child like my friend. If you dont believe me, you can let the child spend some time together with me. You can take the child away anytime if you find something you arent pleased with. How does that sound? He had thought through these words before he said them.

The moment he felt the scrutinising eyes from the platform in front of him just now, he quickly came up with this to make the little one have a good impression on him. Especially so when the child seemed to have sensed his existence.

Upon hearing this, the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation beamed at Jiang Chens wit.

However, Jiang Chens expression was soon frozen when he realised the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination was not at all moved by his words.

Your words might be sincere, but why do I have to agree to it? None of what you said benefits us. Suddenly, a panicked voice roared from outside the palace.

Leave! Jiang Chen! A bang soon followed, knocking the breath out of the Black-Robed Elder as he was then thrown inside.

Instead of the arrogant face he always had on, he now looked pitiful with blood at the corners of his mouth.

Senior Black? What is going on!? Jiang Chen was startled by Black-Robed Elders sudden entrance, and he didnt bother continuing the conversation with the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination anymore as he stood there in shock and confusion.

Black-Robed Elder seemed to have aggravated his wound when he struggled to get up from the floor. Run!

He coughed up blood with bits of his internal organs in it. Just leave. Dont worry about me!

Just what happened!? Why are you Jiang Chens eyes were wide with shock. He still hadnt figured out what was going on.

It didnt make sense to him how someone as powerful as Black-Robed Elder would sustain such grave injuries. [We were supposed to meet up after he was done with his business. Could he have gotten into trouble on the way here?]

It is because Ive encountered him. As a calm voice rang out, Gu Changges figure walked into the palace from the outside.

With a casual and indifferent expression, he stepped on the back of the elderly man in black robes, immediately making a chilling sound of bones breaking.

Black-Robed Elder was strong-willed enough to only groan instead of screaming in pain.

Arent you a brave one, taking someone away from right under my nose? Gu Changge hummed with a calm face.

Jiang Chens face fell, and he couldnt help shaking in fear. He didnt think Gu Changge would follow him all the way here. [Darn it! He must have noticed the trail I left for Black-Robed Elder.]

It is you, Gu Changge. Why are you here? he squeaked. He couldnt believe someone as powerful as Black-Robed Elder would be in such a miserable state because of Gu Changge.

<Damn it! He actually came here!> The Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation shakily exclaimed as it morphed into a wisp of green smoke before it squirmed into Jiang Chens forehead. It seems to have a deep-rooted fear toward Gu Changge.

Let go of Senior Black, Gu Changge! This is between you and me. Dont involve anyone else in this!

Jiang Chen forced himself to calm down as he stared at Gu Changge coldly. He couldnt help feeling despair when the one person he relied on the most was now under Gu Changges foot. All he could do now was pray that the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation would be able to control the many arrays on the purple mountains to suppress and kill Gu Changge.

Arrogant punk. You are trying to save someone when this is all you are capable of. Gu Changge didnt seem to care as he threw him a glance.

He kicked the elderly man in black robes, who let out a muffled groan and immediately fell towards Jiang Chen at a force that could break the ground.

Fortunately, the special material used to build this palace could withstand the impact.

Senior Black, are you okay? Worried, Jiang Chen quickly went to help Black-Robed Elder up.

I am fine, Black-Robed Elder said with a wave of his hand. However, he couldnt utter another word as he spat out more blood mixed with more bits of his organs. It was obvious that his injury were severe.

Despite the enraged look on Jiang Chens face, he didnt dare say anything to Gu Changge.

I was too careless. I didnt expect Gu Changge to be so strong. I am no match for him at all. Black-Robed Elder showed a rare, wry smile and self-blaming expression. If it wasnt for me, he wouldnt have come here so quickly.

Please stop talking, Senior Black. The outcome would be the same even if you didnt do that for me. Jiang Chen didnt have the heart to blame the older man when he was so badly injured.

Now that Gu Changge had come here, Jiang Chen had no choice but to deal with him directly.

So, this is the Tower of World Domination. Interesting. It is quite different from other Tools of World Domination.

Gu Changge was now staring at the golden silhouette in the air with great interest. After giving it a good look, he stated, I heard what you said earlier, so I will give you two choices. One, give the child, surrender to me, and leave with me. Two, I will take the child for myself, erase your existence, and take the Tower of World Domination with me. Choose. Gu Changge offered nonchalantly.

Even though Gu Changge didnt show up physically, he had been close by for a while now. Naturally, he understood everything.

The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination was no fool. Even it knew what would be the better choice to make right now.

Of course, Gu Changge didnt mind erasing its existence if it was stupid to make the wrong decision. After all, it wasnt a difficult thing for him to do.

Gu Changge, you

Jiang Chens expression changed drastically. He never expected Gu Changge to be so ruthless and arrogant, and dared to speak this way in front of the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination.

Let me think about it.

Jiang Chen was even more shocked the next moment.

After hearing Gu Changges words, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination wasnt angry nor dissatisfied. On the contrary, it seemed very cautious, unlike how it usually was with Jiang Chen.

I am not a very patient man., Gu Changge hummed. Even if you are the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination, you are worthless to me. I prefer artifacts without their own divine consciousness. I prefer them to be inanimate.

As Jiang Chen looked at Gu Changge, his heart trembled, and he felt a chill crawl up his spine.

[Even the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination is intimidated by him to the point of falling quiet.] He thought that the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination would be furious because of this, and would teach Gu Changge a lesson. On the contrary the Artifact Spirit acted with caution.

I can submit to you, but you have to agree to one condition, or I would rather perish than let you have the Tower of World Domination. The Artifact Spirits voice stayed neutral. It knew that the young man in front of him was terrifying. It wasnt only his aura. He also had an indifference that seemed to be engraved right down to his bones, and would last as long as he was alive. This was what gave the Artifact Spirit the chills. Not to mention, it was no longer at its peak. In its current state, the most it could fight against was someone in the Sacred Emperor Realm.

Do tell me your condition then. Gu Changge raised his eyes and glanced at it, before turning his eyes to the Celestial Jade Platform in front of him.

He walked over slowly to the platform without being blocked by anyone or anything. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was sweating profusely in place.

The Celestial Jade Platform had celestial mist and illusionary runes all over it. The ancient characters on it were all kinds of simple symbols, with thick Dao energy surrounded it. Anyone could tell at a glance that it wasnt an ordinary item.

This scene made Jiang Chens complexion turn pale again when he remembered his embarrassing appearance just now.

I need you to promise me not to hurt Little Wang Yue, the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination solemnly warned while he peered at Gu Changge with watchful eyes.

Alright. Gu Changge didnt even need to think before he replied.

In it were small-sized ponds that were still sealed off by Principles. The scene was shrouded by dense celestial mist that filled the air and created colourful clouds. However, he could make out a hazy amber-like light that quietly flowed like the Milky Way.

There seemed to be a pair of clear eyes that could see through everything watching him. This was Little Wang Yues true body.

I hope you keep your words. Dont let people hurt this child. The Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination was still weary when it spoke. It didnt feel at ease about how unhesitant Gu Changge had given his answer.

Upon hearing that, Gu Changge gave it another glance. Dont worry. No one will dare come for this child even if I were to declare to the world that a Wang Yue is now mine..

He then added with a small, mocking smile. After all, I am not that useless.

Jiang Chens face immediately turned dark at Gu Changges blatant ridicule. Clenching his jaw, he growled, Dont push it, Gu Changge.

However, he couldnt refute what the man said.

Anyone who would dare to steal something from Gu Changge now, given his current prestige, would only be looking to get themselves killed. Even the Artifact Spirit of the Tower of World Domination was shocked by Gu Changges confident and domineering words.

[Even so, isnt this what I wanted?] The Artifact Spirit contradicted itself.

Other than that, Gu Changge added, I have everything that Little Wang Yue doesnt have growing up. It wont be a problem even if it eats ten Star Territories worth of food. Anything else you would like to add?

He was now looking at the Artifact Spirit with a smile while he showed off his hidden power and wealth.

All Jiang Chen could feel now was suffocation as his lips trembled, his complexion was as white as a sheet of paper.

Compared to Gu Changge, Jiang Chen had nothing. The purple mountains began to vibrate then as the Tower of World Domination trembled and roared, all because the Artifact Spirit was deeply shaken by Gu Changges words. It was smart enough to swiftly reply, The Tower of World Domination will serve you from now on, Young Master.

In the next moment, it turned into a golden light and entered the Tower of World Domination. The huge and majestic golden tower quickly shrank and fell from the sky. At the same time, its voice resounded through the void as the Artifact Spirit submitted itself to Gu Changge.

Gu Changge shook his head slightly and looked at the pale-faced Jiang Chen, his tone somewhat regretful. How can someone useless like you be delusional enough to wish for a Celestial Beast to follow you? Anyways, the sun is up. Time to snap out of your dream.

If there was anything in this world that money couldnt buy, it probably was because the money offered wasnt enough.

As Jiang Chen watched things unfold, he couldnt help feeling devastated, and he wanted to give up on cultivating. He had done so much, only to end up with nothing. On the contrary, Gu Changge got it all easily with just a few simple words. There was no way Jiang Chen could just accept how things were going.

Stay here from now on Gu Changges smile seemed a little indifferent.

As the words fell, Gu Changge thrusted his palm ahead. Amidst the rumbling sound, a large golden palm print spanned across the sky like it was the palm of heaven that covered everything.

The void felt it was about to explode from the terrifyingly overwhelming fluctuation.

Jiang Chen looked at the palm with a face full of despair, his whole body was about to explode under the pressure.

At this critical moment, the elderly man in black robes roared and spat out a mouthful of blood. Run!

He seemed to be using a Secret Technique as he grabbed Jiang Chen and fled towards the outside of the palace.

After he took the blow from Gu Changges, his blood gushed out like a fountain, and his internal organs seemed to have completely exploded. His breath began to turn shallow as his face went pale.

Senior Black! Jiang Chen was enraged about all that was happening. However, Black-Robed Elder disregarded Jiang Chens words, Even disregarded his own horrifying wounds, and forced himself to bring Jiang Chen away from here.

<Go! Move!> the Artifact Spirit of the Celestial Boat of Creation in Jiang Chens mind suddenly urged. <I manipulated the Great Shi here and destroyed the integrity of the purple mountains. We are going to bury Gu Changge here!>

Right after it said that, the whole mountain rumbled, and rocks began to roll down the mountain. As the ground cracked open, thick purple mist spewed out the collapsing landscape.

[Run! The further the better! Get stronger the next time we meet! And make sure to keep yourself healthy! After all, my benefactor, its thanks to you that the Tower of World Domination is now in my hands.] Relaxed, Gu Changge stood in the hall with his hands behind his back. Instead of the indifference on his face, he was now looking at Jiang Chens retreating back with great interest.

Only after they were far enough did he collect both the Celestial Jade Platform and the Tower of World Domination.

He wasnt interested in the Origin Stones, spirit grass and the rest of the items that were in this palace.

Afterwards, a dazzling brilliance appeared on his body. A terrifying aura that felt as though the bright sun had risen into the sky, broke through the purple mountain, and became a sword that cut through many frenzied arrays here.

Gu Changge took a few steps forward, and the golden light stretched from under his feet before his figure appeared in the sky in the outside world.

The majestic purple mountains behind him soon collapsed amidst a thundering noise while smoke and dust rose to the sky, and purple mist spread thinly in the air. The giant mountain range had turned into ruins.

After Gu Changge glanced back at the mess, his face calm, he descended from the air with his fluttering robe unstained.

A group of followers, the Ji Siblings, Chen Ninger and others waiting outside the purple mountains, all stepped forward and called out to him.

Young Master.

Young Master Changge.

He only waved dismissively at them in response.

What is all this? Yue Mingkong came over and asked in a cold voice.

The crowd had also come to take a look out of curiosity, and they were shocked. No one knew why the purple mountains had suddenly collapsed. The Ji Siblings were especially puzzled.

They didnt know if Gu Changge had gotten the Tower of World Domination. As for Jiang Chens whereabouts, they thought it was very likely that he had been buried and crushed to death under the purple mountains.

Barely satisfactory, still within my expectations, Gu Changge smiled and gave a vague answer.

However, Yue Mingkong, who knew him very well, could tell that he had gotten what he wanted. He had the Tower of World Domination.

Thus, she didnt ask anything else. She had no need to.

Everyone felt their hearts quiver when they heard his answer. They were shocked, but they didnt dare to ask more questions. Even so, many speculated that Gu Changge had already obtained the Tower of Domination, or else the purple mountains wouldnt have collapsed.

None of them dared to probe into what had happened during the altercation.

Nonetheless, What happened here tonight was destined to cause an uproar. The huge purple mountains had both appeared and collapsed overnight. It was bound to attract the attention and inquiry of many.

After the entire ordeal, everyone returned to Heavenly Ruin Gate. The Ji Siblings, Chen Ninger and others began to contact their families to report what happened here.

When the senior members of the Ji Family heard about this, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and swallow their dissatisfaction despite how angry and humiliated they felt.

They didnt even put up a fight when they continued to arrange for someone to bring the Wheel of World Domination over.
