Starting With 100 Million Lives

Yan Mu Daoist Venerable was almost dumbfounded by Brother Cheng’s excuse.

Need money for food, drinks, and other necessities?

Come on, my daughter is a Supreme!

She absorbs morning sun and evening moonlight!

She’s been beyond ordinary levels by hundreds of streets!

Where does she have these needs?

His face quickly darkened as well.

"Kid, you’re pushing it, asking me for stuff?"

You and I aren’t in the same faction, you really have guts.

Brother Cheng shrugged: "If you don’t provide living expenses in advance, I’m not sure if your daughter will be wandering the streets without food and shelter."

"You..."

"Hahaha!"

"Makes sense!"

This time it was Yu Jin Daoist Venerable who laughed gleefully.

Earlier he was a bit annoyed, but seeing Jiang Cheng asking even Evil Immortal Daoist Venerable for something, he instantly felt balanced and even delighted.

"Yan Mu Daoist Venerable, your daughter will be living in our Celestial Palace."

"You’re not giving any contribution, not making any arrangements, what stinginess, indeed evils are poor at handling people!"

"A dignified Daoist Venerable, and this is your mindset?"

Yan Mu Daoist Venerable was completely speechless.

After all, just moments ago, he had taunted Yu Jin Daoist Venerable with similar remarks, only for them to be returned now.

"Fine, very well!"

"I’ll give it!"

In the end, he pulled out a Storage Ring in frustration and threw it harshly at Jiang Cheng.

"Take my stuff, but if anything happens to my daughter, even the Ninth Layer Celestial Palace or Dao Extinction Abyss won’t save you!"

"Sure thing!"

Playful and carefree, Brother Cheng didn’t mind the threat, as long as he got the benefits.

If someone has given so much, aren’t they allowed to vent a little?

"Both of you are indeed generous, befitting Daoist Venerables!"

He even complimented them.

Then he cupped his hands towards both: "Rest assured, I won’t let you down!"

Yu Jin and Yan Mu exchanged glances, feeling that something was off no matter how they heard it.

If you don’t let Yu Jin down, the Celestial Palace wins.

If you don’t let Yan Mu down, the Evil Immortal Realm wins.

So which side are you really on?

Yu Jin Daoist Venerable wasn’t as confident as before, realizing that the duel, hoped for by the Celestial Palace’s higher-ups, wasn’t as reliable as everyone thought.

And as for Brother Cheng, he wasn’t bothered at all.

After all, he’d advised Yu Jin Daoist Venerable before to give up.

But the other party hadn’t listened at all.

He couldn’t very well explode revealing he didn’t have a Celestial Heart, so he went with the flow.

Meanwhile, at the frontline, various teams were already in a state of extreme shock.

"First Handsome Team has reached the top!"

"Not just in Yunzhao War Zone, but the entire right flank battlefield, they’re number one!"

"1.76 million points, heavens, can a single team really achieve this?"

This number, for countless teams on the right flank battlefield, was astronomical.

They spend task cycles ranging from tens of thousands to millions of years, and getting tens of thousands of points is already a great achievement.

They directly raised it tenfold!

"And they only spent five days altogether."

"What kind of team is this?"

"Surely led by a Daoist Venerable!"

"But if led by a Daoist Venerable, the opposing team would dispatch a Daoist Venerable too..."

"Perhaps they possess some Secret Treasure with hidden power realm!"

Meanwhile, on the Evil Immortal Realm side, Emperor Yuan Team, struggling in their exploration, also noticed changes in the war zone scoreboard.

"1.76 million!"

Celestial Venerable Juangling screamed in disbelief.

"How is this possible? How can it be so fast?"

In the last two days, they struggled hard to raise their points to 680,000.

But at the cost of all five being severely wounded.

Despite having a hidden time Secret Treasure, they had run out of healing drugs, and some internal injuries remained untreated, which made it extremely hard to continue.

Striving so hard, the result was an increase in the point gap by over a million, which was simply despairing.

"It seems we’ve overestimated ourselves."

Previously full of fighting spirit, Celestial Venerable Wu Jin could only sigh now.

"That team likely has a Daoist Venerable."

"We picked the wrong opponents from the start."

Celestial Venerable Yun Han and Venerable Feng Chen nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, they’re not on the same level as us, there’s no comparison."

"We’ve already surpassed our limits."

"Alas, the opponents are still beyond the limits."

Celestial Venerable Huo Wen could only clap and encourage his teammates.

"It’s no shame losing to a Daoist Venerable!"

"No need to be so discouraged!"

Celestial Venerable Wu Jin nodded emphatically: "That’s right, losing to a Daoist Venerable is normal, we haven’t disgraced the Emperor-level Dojo’s honor."

Celestial Venerable Juangling said loudly: "Yes, we’ve already set the highest score in Emperor Yuan Dao Field’s history."

"We should be glad, we should be proud!"

With his words, the group shook off their despondency and regained confidence.

To lighten the atmosphere, Celestial Venerable Huo Wen even deliberately mentioned Brother Cheng’s team.

"You guys, how do you think that weak team we saw a couple of days ago is doing now?"

"The team led by that kid from King Jia’s Dojo?"

"Hahaha, surely they’ve been completely decimated!"

"Absolutely, given how we are, what better off can they be?"

"It’s a pity, if they’d listened to advice and returned earlier, they’d have a way out..."

As they joked and laughed, their team marker suddenly lit up.

Everyone paused.

"What’s going on?"

Upon checking the team marker, they saw just one sentence.

"All teams, immediately retreat to the fortress."

And the message wasn’t from the Yunzhao War Zone, or the right flank battlefield, but from the entire Celestial Palace Defense Headquarters!

"Such high-level orders..."

"What’s happening?"

"Not just us, all teams should retreat to the fortress? What happened?"

Celestial Venerable Wu Jin had a serious expression.

"No matter what happened, this order is crucial, we cannot disobey!"

The other members respectfully nodded in agreement.

Who dares defy the Celestial Palace Defense Headquarters’ orders?

Besides, they were nearly unable to continue.

As Emperor Yuan Team retreated, other teams also received orders.

Meanwhile, on the Evil Immortal Realm side, all Evil Immortals active at the front also received withdrawal orders from high-ranking leaders.

The wager has begun!

As agreed, for the next ten thousand years, both sides will withdraw their troops and not interfere.

However, neither side retreating like a tidal wave knew the details.

Quickly, the Yunzhao War Zone fortress filled with returning teams.

"You’re back too?"

"Yeah, we all got retreat orders."

"What happened?"

"We were just planning to battle Evil Immortals, why are we retreating?"
