I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2456 2455: Madman Star, World Conflict
Previously on I Truly Am The Villian...
If it were only like before, then these people naturally didn't need to know of Xu Zimei's existence.
There was no benefit in it for them.
Because back then they were still very weak, and Xu Zimei also had the great enemy of the Nine Domains World outside.
For many reasons, he didn't wish to interfere with the operation of the world.
The world holds countless billions of living beings.
It is precisely because things are unpredictable that there is diversity, that things are精彩.
If countless billions of living beings all ran according to the will of a single person, that would be meaningless.
Such a world would also be unhealthy.
However, next, Xu Zimei still spoke of his own plans.
The operation of the world has its own principles of all things flourishing without end.
He would not interfere.
But for the overall direction of the Divine Continent going forward—how to campaign against other worlds, how to let the Divine Continent gain a firm foothold in the Cosmic—this required him to hold the rudder.
So the upcoming campaign against the Giant World counted as a very important act of establishing prestige.
To let some small worlds or medium worlds understand that the Divine Continent is not something any random stray cat or dog can provoke.
As for butting heads directly with other large worlds, and further spreading the Divine Continent's name.
This matter would still need to be advanced step by step.
"Everyone, I believe that between myself and all of you, we should be a community of shared interests."
"I don't intend to suppress you with violence."
"The only thing that lasts longest in this world is利益—interest."
"If this campaign against the Giant World succeeds, then the treasures and Cultivation Resources within the Giant World—you may take ten percent."
Xu Zimei repeated this condition once more.
Ten percent doesn't sound like much.
But you must understand, this is ten percent of an entire world's resources.
What a generous and vast amount of resources that is!
Xu Zimei was also very generous because this was the first cooperation.
And he set a standard for this kind of division of利益.
So that in the future there would not be problems arising from利益 entanglements.
After all, wealth moves people's hearts.
When利益 become large enough, it is bound to change many things.
"I agree with Lord's proposal," Qingsong Tianren once again was the first to step out and say.
"Ten percent is already more than enough, we mustn't be insatiably greedy; as people we should know contentment."
"Qingsong, you're still as hypocritical as before," Old Jiao sneered at the side.
"You think that by being someone else's dog, you can obtain a lot of benefits?"
"Matters of利益 aren't things you can get just by saying a few nice words."
Seeing Old Jiao's attitude, Xu Zimei slightly furrowed his brows.
If it were a normal person, they wouldn't go against him over such matters.
But this Old Jiao seemed to be deliberately picking faults, and his words were aimed at him.
He let out a cold laugh.
And said, "What, you seem rather dissatisfied with the terms I've提出—offered?"
Old Jiao slightly shook his head.
He replied, "Creator God, I am but a humble ant, naturally unqualified to be dissatisfied with you."
"However, the people behind me wish to speak with you."
"Who?" Xu Zimei frowned; he knew this was the reason why Old Jiao was so fearless.
"The lords of Madman Star," Old Jiao replied with great confidence.
"They wish to cooperate with you. Madman Star and the Divine Continent both belong to the worlds of this same star system.
Either competition, or cooperation. Creator God, I'm just a messenger; I hope you will consider carefully."
"Madman Star?"
It was Xu Zimei's first time hearing this name.
But given the vastness of the Cosmic, there were plenty of things he didn't know; this was normal.
What puzzled him somewhat was: Old Jiao was a native of the Divine Continent, so how had he gotten in touch with people from the outside?
One must know, the world barrier of the Divine Continent was not something just anyone could easily enter.
If someone broke in, the Heavenly Dao would sense it at once.
Xu Zimei pondered for a moment, and in the end already had an answer in his heart.
Under normal circumstances, people from outside absolutely could not enter the Divine Continent.
But during his previous Heavenly Dao war with the Nine Domains World, a flaw must have appeared.
If someone took the opportunity then to enter the Divine Continent, it was indeed possible.
Just like the Nine Domains World before.
Although it had always been in a sealed state, there were still people who could enter by special means.
The world is vast, with all manner of奇—wonders.
And the boundlessness of the Cosmic is undoubtedly endless.
What special people there might be, or what special abilities, cannot be counted as strange.
On this point, Xu Zimei was also very confident.
Even if someone could enter the Divine Continent, they would be sneaking about with tails tucked, secretly trying to bewitch others.
Just like that green-robed man before.
And Old Jiao had clearly been successfully bewitched.
The other side had definitely promised him something.
So Old Jiao was emboldened, even acting as a messenger.
He had King Qingzhi brought over and questioned him about Madman Star.
King Qingzhi was actually startled when he heard this name.
He said, "Didn't expect you'd actually be targeted by that group of lunatics."
"Seems this Madman Star is quite famous?" Xu Zimei asked.
"They were once obscure, but in recent eras they've been making a huge splash."
"And just like their name, the beings of Madman Star are all a bunch of madmen."
"They're like rabid dogs—if they take a fancy to something, or if someone provokes them.
That person will fall into endless pursuit and slaughter, until that person meets Death."
King Qingzhi briefly explained some things about Madman Star.
And Madman Star, like the Divine Continent, was basically a large world.
Xu Zimei then asked, "Is Madman Star stronger, or is your Mother Planet Pluto stronger?"
"You can't really compare it that way," King Qingzhi thought for a moment and said.
"In overall strength, we of Pluto Star are still a bit stronger."
"After all, among the Heavenly Grade experts of Pluto Star, besides Lord Hades, there exist beings like the Manor Master."
"Whereas Madman Star, like your Divine Continent, has only a single Heavenly Grade expert."
In fact, Xu Zimei right now couldn't really be called a true Heavenly Grade expert.
After all, the prototype world of his Great Dao was too vast and had yet to be fully completed.
But with his strength, it wasn't much of a problem to contend with Heavenly Grade experts.
Still, Xu Zimei now had some information on Madman Star.
The strength of Madman Star should be similar to that of the Divine Continent; both were worlds that had just advanced to a large world.
However, the people of Madman Star were all a bunch who didn't care about their lives.
Their innate talent was to berserk their own bodies.
They could make themselves feel no pain at all.
Thus they could sustain battles like rabid dogs.
This was rather troublesome.
The wars between worlds are not one-on-one duels.
They are confrontations between overall strengths.
And it just so happened that this was precisely what the Divine Continent lacked.
Thinking of this, Xu Zimei turned his gaze to Old Jiao.
He said, "I am not someone who refuses cooperation, but entering my world without so much as a greeting.
This already counts as侵略—invasion, so I refuse this cooperation."
"And you, having betrayed your own world, must also be punished."
