Tremble's seemingly genuine change and humility surprise Gongshu De. While Tremble and his group are sent to Planet 478 for materials, Lin Yi senses their arrival, along with the unexpected presence of Gongshu De. Lin Yi, wary of the heroes' intentions, decides to observe from hiding. Meanwhile, Gongshu De struggles to assign Tremble new tasks, as the needed materials are elusive. As mining commences, Tremble reminisces about his long history with Gongshu De, but his demeanor abruptly shifts, revealing intense killing intent and accusing Gongshu De of underestimating him.

The sudden change in tone made Tremble look like a completely different person.

At this moment, Gongshu De vaguely understood what the Divination Genius meant by survival materials on planet 478, realizing that Tremble was quite petty.

From the moment the conflict arose between the two, he had kept it in mind, never truly letting go of the resentment in his heart.

"Tremble, what’s your deal, kid? Are you planning to fight me, old man?"

Knowing the outcome, he still had to ask more, and thinking this way, old Gongshu De truly seemed a bit pitiful.

It was obviously someone he recommended, yet in the end, they wanted to take his life.

Listening to Tremble say this much, the organization members responsible for transporting materials also approached.

They temporarily set aside their tasks, glaring intensely at the old man in front of them.

"Damn, exciting stuff."

Lin Yi, watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Initially, I thought Tremble was just a blockhead, not very bright, but unexpectedly, he’s such a petty person, truly surprising."

In the Sea of Divine Consciousness, two powerful figures enjoying the sunlight took off their sunglasses and seriously scrutinized the scene Lin Yi saw.

"This Dark Rising Organization is pretty average. Without considering Divine Power Level, isn’t this just a group of young men ganging up on a seventy-year-old?"

"Doing such a thing in broad daylight, it’s truly the collapse of morals and etiquette!"

"Exactly, in our time, this would result in a swarm of online backlash."

As the three discussed, sixteen young people surrounded Gongshu De and had already summoned their Lifebound Divine Artifacts.

The dim light emanating from the Lifebound Divine Artifacts indicated that the sixteen members of Dark Rising were ready for battle, waiting for Tremble’s command to swarm in.

Facing the cold and murderous stares of his former companions, Gongshu De felt his life was a failure, a satirical tragedy.

He also clearly knew that without an information system, there was no chance of using the Communication Spirit Crystal to call for help; the dozen elite members of Dark Rising wouldn’t give him a chance to request aid.

Thinking that his end would come at the hands of his own people, Gongshu De found it intensely ironic, a life more failed than anyone else’s.

"Though you’re a big shot, what a small-minded man. That courage of yours is smaller than I expected, and in terms of strength, you’re better, yet you don’t have the confidence to challenge me alone, Tremble. Maybe you don’t quite deserve the title of the strongest."

Although Gongshu De didn’t know what survival material the Divination Genius spoke of, he hadn’t found anything to help reverse the situation, but he believed in the Divination Genius’s prediction that on planet 478, there must be a chance for survival.

Because of this confidence, Gongshu De was not timid in the slightest, but instead provocatively challenged Tremble’s pride, relentlessly taunting.

"Old man, there’s no need to provoke me; I won’t give you any chance to survive. Reputation? It’s important. But it’s written by the victor; without the qualification to leave this planet 478 alive, what talk is there of being the strongest?"

As he spoke, the aura of Divine Power emanating from Tremble suddenly surged.

A terrifying pressure exploded out.

From Divine Power and Taichu formed a giant hand that cut through the clouds over planet 478, striking down upon Gongshu De’s position.

The space it passed emitted mournful wails, and even though Gongshu De was thousands of meters away, he was affected by the collapsing space, clearly sensing a significant restriction on his mobility.

The members surrounding Gongshu De didn’t remain idle.

They knew well the terrifying strength of the Seven Heroes and left nothing in reserve when attacking, bringing out their most powerful moves from their arsenal.

On planet 478, composed of rare metal ores, land resources were scarce, yet under the influence of creative forces from Taichu and Divine Power, two giant earthen hands emerged from the ground and gripped old Mr. Gongsu tightly.

"Mr. Gongsu, though you’re one of the Seven Heroes, facing so many of us at once isn’t something to be disregarded. Underestimating us can lead to big trouble."

The moment the two giant hands closed, black inscriptions with sealing attributes quietly appeared on them. This move Gongshu De recognized from battles with All Gods, where sealing techniques played a substantial role.

When the move targeted himself, Gongshu Ban personally felt the substantial impact those seemingly inconspicuous organization members had during battle.

He forgets the name of the member’s move.

But indeed, this sealing move greatly restricted the operation of Divine Power and Taichu within him, preventing Gongshu De from unleashing his full power.

Just as Gongshu De planned to break the constraints with sheer force, stabbing pain suddenly pierced through the various acupoints in his body.

"Mr. Gongsu, forgive us, sometimes the world is just so harsh. For Lord Tremble’s future, leading us to broader horizons, today we must ask you to fall here. We beg your pardon."

Eighteen ice-chilled silver needles seemingly flew out of nowhere, precisely hitting several key acupoints on Gongshu De, making it even harder for him to move when Divine Power and Taichu were already hard to operate.

Facing simultaneous attacks from numerous strong opponents, even for a top-tier fighter like Gongshu De from the Dark Rising Organization, it was incredibly challenging.

As one of the Seven Heroes, Gongshu De’s combat power was undoubtedly more than this.

Clearly aware that the youngsters surrounding him came for his life, Mr. Gongsu couldn’t bring himself to go all out right from the start, directly aiming to kill these young members.

His kindness hurt him, plunging him into crisis.

Survival materials seemed absent after all.

Tremble was impatient, fighting without any regard for old ties. Seeing Tremble’s attacks gradually approaching, he could only helplessly let go.

Who could have imagined that the famed Mr. Gongsu, having dominated for thousands of years, would fall at the hands of his colleagues?

"Lin Yi, aren’t you planning to make a move? It seems you got on well with old Mr. Gongsu, don’t you intend to help him?"

Wo Zhiqi asked.

"I think you should. The value of Mr. Gongsu isn’t simply limited to his combat power. The Dark Rising’s information system capable of covering the entire Three Realms and Six Paths, and the multifunctional Dark Rising Ring are all his creations. If you can save him and bring him to work with you, that value..."

Wo Zhiqi and Great Saint’s words both made sense.
