"His cultivation time is brief, maybe his strength has improved again." Some Heavenly Divines defended Li Yuan, believing the decision to list him on the top tier had profound reasoning.
"Strength improvement? Space Law is extremely difficult to comprehend, even if he truly broke through, at most he would reach Divine Monarch level. In Beichen Residence, he’d become the target of all."
"He’s highly talented, and if the other major forces have the chance, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill him."
"Unless he possesses the strength of a Top Divine Monarch, otherwise once targeted, his death is certain."
"Since ancient times in the Divine Realm, has anyone achieved Top Divine Monarch combat power after only cultivating for hundreds of years? Not a single one." Many Divine Monarchs watched coldly.
Under normal circumstances, they would be willing to befriend Li Yuan, as having more friends opens more avenues.
But when it involves the Beichen Residence quota?
In their view, Li Yuan is just a mere ’connection’, a ’connection’ with even less strength than Bai Jiang Divine Monarch.
Heart Dream Divine Realm, inside the Heavenly Divine Tavern.
This is a special tavern within the main city, allowing only Heavenly Divines to enter. Due to the tavern’s special wines, even the Heavenly Divines’ incarnations drinking them can become intoxicated... thus attracting numerous Heavenly Divines to gather.
Over time, this place also became a leisurely gathering spot for Heavenly Divines of the Chaos Divine Court.
Typically, hundreds of Heavenly Divines gather here; during peak times, thousands or even tens of thousands of Heavenly Divines’ incarnations descend upon this place.
Inside the tavern, at a table, several figures radiating powerful auras were gathered together.
Ordinary Heavenly Divines dared not approach them.
"Li Yuan, don’t pay attention to these rumors." The burly Qianjun Divine Monarch’s voice was deep: "They are simply jealous of you."
"Exactly." The ’Beihu Divine Monarch’ in white robes nodded.
"Li Yuan, securing the quota is what’s most important." Blood Feather Divine Monarch beside him also smiled: "Compared to the opportunity of ascending to Divine King, what do these few rumors matter?"
"You three all speak candidly once you’ve secured the quota." Li Yuan teased with a smile: "If you hadn’t secured it, you might have been more vicious in your critiques than other Divine Monarchs."
"Hahaha." Qianjun Divine Monarch, Beihu Divine Monarch, Blood Feather Divine Monarch, all laughed aloud upon hearing this.
The strength and background of all three were notable, and indeed, they all secured quotas.
Over the years, while Li Yuan focused diligently on cultivation, he occasionally spared a trace of Heart Power to interact with other Divine Monarchs in the Heart Dream Divine Realm... maintaining just one incarnation imposed minimal impact on cultivation.
The three before him were among the Divine Monarchs with whom Li Yuan had the best relationships.
The rumors spawned by the Beichen Residence quota indeed exceeded Li Yuan’s initial expectations.
He underestimated those Divine Monarchs’ desire for the ’Beichen Residence quota’.
Yet, Li Yuan didn’t truly care much.
"Blood Feather, Beihu, Qianjun, you’re all here." A hearty voice rang out, approaching with obvious goodwill.
Li Yuan, Blood Feather Divine Monarch, and the others immediately turned to look.
"Bai Jiang? You’ve come." Qianjun Divine Monarch intentionally pointed out his identity, laughing: "We’re just casually chatting."
Li Yuan instantly understood his identity.
After all, there were over a hundred Divine Monarchs in the Chaos Divine Court, though Li Yuan had purposefully made efforts to engage, but half of the Divine Monarchs were still unseen.
What is Bai Jiang Divine Monarch doing at this point?
Blood Feather Divine Monarch, Beihu Divine Monarch also greeted him with smiles.
"Bai Jiang Divine Monarch." Li Yuan smiled, since within the same force, even if minor conflicts arise, one generally wouldn’t directly fall out.
Moreover, no direct conflict had arisen between the two yet, Li Yuan naturally wouldn’t show a sour face.
"Li Yuan." Bai Jiang Divine Monarch’s smile grew even brighter: "I’ve heard from numerous others, our Chaos Divine Court has birthed an exceptional genius who, with very brief cultivation, has nearly Divine Monarch level strength. You are truly destined to rival the fabled Ten Stars Meridian, even my master praises you endlessly."
"I’m truly admiring you from my heart."
"Now that I’ve seen you, truly, you live up to your reputation." Bai Jiang Divine Monarch sighed with emotion.
As if he genuinely admired Li Yuan immensely.
"Just some good fortune, in terms of true Law Comprehension, I still lag behind many Divine Monarchs." Li Yuan smiled back, though his heart felt a twinge of caution.
Even though he hadn’t met Bai Jiang Divine Monarch before, he’d long heard of the other’s nature.
When had he taken such a stance?
"Bai Jiang." Blood Feather Divine Monarch teased, grinning: "It’s rare for you to praise someone so, today you’ve become quite eloquent... is it that you have a favor to ask Li Yuan?"
Beihu Divine Monarch and Qianjun Divine Monarch shared a look of amusement.
Ordinary Heavenly Divines feared Bai Jiang Divine Monarch, but as fellow Divine Monarchs, they were absolutely unafraid.
Bai Jiang Divine Monarch’s face froze a bit.
Indeed, he had a request... he had no choice, he had visited several Divine Monarchs on the Beichen Residence list, only to be refused by all.
He decided to meet Li Yuan... after all, in his view, Li Yuan’s strength was measly, perhaps he could sway Li Yuan’s intention, persuading him to relinquish the quota?
"I do have a humble request." Bai Jiang Divine Monarch expressed a hint of apology: "Your talent is peerless, and in your brief cultivation years, likely you’ll reach God King Realm without any external aid... but I can’t, it demands great determination and perseverance, just for a slim chance."
"Therefore, I wonder, could you relinquish the Beichen Residence quota to me?" Bai Jiang Divine Monarch gazed at Li Yuan: "Rest assured, I wouldn’t ask you to do so for free. I’m willing to offer 200 trillion Heart Dream Coins as compensation... just agree, and I’ll transfer the funds immediately."
"What do you think?" Bai Jiang Divine Monarch appeared utterly sincere.
Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
