“Senior Long Chen, I’ve brought what you asked for!”

Half a day later, Jin Ming returned, barely able to contain his excitement. The Rock Crystal race’s treasury had been seized intact.

Apparently, as those responsible for overseeing matters on behalf of the Brahma line, Protector Sun and the others had arrived at the Rock Crystal race a day before.

Trivial delays had held them back. By the time they reached the Rock Crystal race and prepared to use its transportation formation to head to the Heavenly Ox Sovereign Domain, the three great races’ battle was already over.

The Rock Crystal race’s elites had been decimated.

After learning about what had happened, Protector Sun and the others concluded that both races were no longer worth keeping. Their original plan was to strip them of all valuables.

Before doing so, however, they wanted to assess the Golden Horn race’s situation, so they temporarily left the Rock Crystal race untouched.

Since the Rock Crystal race had been under their control for a long time, and they had quite a few trusted subordinates inside, they weren’t concerned about taking their treasury immediately. Their priority was the Golden Horn race.

As a result, Jin Ming had made a clean sweep.

Since he had cut ties with the Brahma line, he didn’t hold back anymore. Furthermore, the Rock Crystal race had driven the Golden Horn race to ruin, so Jin Ming not only seized their treasury and everything of value, but he also destroyed their ancestral land.

At this moment, a blue spear covered in ancient runes appeared in Jin Ming’s hands. Although those runes were dark, they had a powerful Dao-charm. Even without intentionally releasing its aura, it still made people’s souls shiver.

“I didn’t expect the Rock Crystal race to possess another Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon,” Jin Ming said. “Yan Chengshan hid it extremely well.”

Long Chen received the blue spear. It was a lightning spear.

“They never announced it because only someone with a natural Lightning Spirit Body could use it,” Long Chen said calmly. “If word had spread, some powerful factions would have attacked them.”

This information came directly from Protector Sun. His agents in the Rock Crystal race had long since combed through the treasury.

To Protector Sun, this lightning spear was of little use. He couldn’t use it, and even if he seized it, he would eventually have to hand it over. The Golden Horn race’s Golden Wheel, however, was something he could use with his flame energy. So he wanted it first.

Lei Linger appeared silently.

Her gaze was fixed on the spear, light flickering in her eyes.

“Big Brother Long Chen...”

Long Chen smiled and handed it to her.

He said, “Next time, you can directly kill your targets instead of attacking them from behind.”

“Thank you, Big Brother Long Chen...”

Lei Linger accepted the spear, her eyes reddening. Suddenly, she stepped forward, hugged Long Chen, and kissed him on the cheek before vanishing.

Long Chen had never expected the shy Lei Linger to do such a thing. He was embarrassed. After all, Jin Ming was right there beside him.

Jin Ming was smart enough to act like nothing had happened. He lowered his head, retrieved a sheet of paper, and handed it to Long Chen.

“This is a complete inventory of the treasury. You can verify that nothing is missing.”

“I only want this spear,” Long Chen replied indifferently. “The rest belongs to the Golden Horn race.”

“Senior Long Chen! You can’t! This is the wealth the Rock Crystal race has accumulated over millions and millions of years! You have to at least go through the list!”

The Rock Crystal race had been extraordinarily wealthy. In recent years, thanks to the medicinal pills, they had obtained vast resources from the Golden Horn race as well.

Their total wealth easily surpassed the Golden Horn race’s by tenfold.

When Jin Ming first saw it, he thought about how they had been the victims of their scam. In his fury, he crushed their ancestral land.

“No need,” Long Chen said dismissively. “Keep it. Your race needs it to recover.”

In his eyes, the only thing in this treasury was that spear. Everything else was useless to him.

Seeing how determined Long Chen was, Jin Ming asked, “Should I split it with the Fullmoon race?”

“You are the one who obtained it. You can decide,” Long Chen replied with a smile.

Jin Ming was smart.

His vision was not limited to just what was in front of him. Though the Golden Horn race had also been victims, their actions had still caused real harm. If he shared this wealth with the Fullmoon race, the lingering resentment between their races would likely dissolve.

“Then I’ll immediately take a trip to the Golden Horn race and talk to Brother Wangshu,” said Jin Ming.

Long Chen nodded, feeling like Jin Ming had made a wise investment this time.

“Then Senior Long Chen, what will you do?”

“I’ll stay here,” Long Chen replied. “I still need to refine elixirs for those disciples who consumed the poisoned pills. The elixirs will destroy the poison bugs, absorb their energy, and help them advance.

After a brief pause, he continued, “The torment likely tempered their souls as well. Their Spiritual Strength should have improved.”

Hearing that, Jin Ming was overjoyed, even more so than when he had seized the Rock Crystal race’s treasury.

After all, those children were the future of the Golden Horn race. Without them, this treasury was worthless.

“Senior Long Chen,” Jin Ming said hoarsely, “I have no words to express my gratitude. I can only swear that my future actions will never betray your trust.”

Jin Ming truly couldn’t find the words to properly express himself. He could only swear on his soul to forever be loyal to Long Chen.

Jin Ming left and immediately collided with someone as he stepped outside.

Seeing that it was an Elder of his race, he angrily demanded, “What are you running around so emotionally for?! Have you gone senile?! What if senior Long Chen saw you like this?!”

This Elder was an acquired Divine Sovereign with very high status, but he was currently too emotional to even speak properly. He simply waved his hands around excitedly, leaving Jin Ming baffled.

“What is it?!” demanded Jin Ming.

“Patriarch... eight... eight divine sons! We’ve gotten eight more divine sons!”

That Elder finally managed to speak. Even as he spoke, he seemed unable to believe it himself.

“Have you gone crazy? What are you talking about?” Jin Ming barked.

“Y-you need to come see this yourself!”

The elder could say no more. He grabbed Jin Ming and pulled him along.

When Jin Ming personally saw eight new, freshly minted divine sons, he was struck dumb.
