Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 691: Bet

"Do not stop striving Du Shen," the Lord of Lords said. "I've seen it before. You have great potential, but you must still be under protection lest someone try and wrest your potential away, especially someone who is far stronger, someone who shouldn't interfere in the matters of the younger generation," the Lord of Lords said.

"What are you trying to do! Interfering in the matter of cultivators lower than us is forbidden!" the Cryptic Sun said.

"Indeed, that is why I'll be offering this decree," The Dusking Sun said, "I've always been known as the Mad Sun, the one that eats man's flesh.

And the one with the most vicious temper. So, if anyone at the above the Origin Realm dares and try to hunt Du Shen, or harm him directly or indirectly, I shall eradicate their entire ancestry and linage, even if I had to bring their souls back from the wheel of reincarnation, I'll eat them all.

If you wish to hunt him, I won't stop you, as long as you are at least two major realms above his cultivation level." The Dusking Sun said.

"Isn't that foolish, that just means that anyone at the Origin Realm could enslave him!" the Cryptic Sun said.

Yet the Suns that Know of Shen Bao all smiled, they knew something that he didn't.

Shen Bao's expression hadn't changed in the slightest. As he looked around, he said,

"As long as they're not in the Origin Shattering realm…" he rubbed the stub under his chin and said, "I can accept that, two major realms is enough a challenge for me not to call it suicide, anything above that might be too much even for me, good I'll take that. However, I still have beef to settle with that man!" Shen Bao said as he pointed his hand at the Cryptic Sun.

"Beef? As in food? Did he take away your lunch?" the Dusking Sun said, looking scornfully and in an awkward disgusting way at the Cryptic Sun. Making him feel like an adult taking candy from a young kid.

"No, not that, but I have to settle a debt with him. After all, I made the calculations required, and the power level of the four corpses was far higher than the total of my base, so it was an unfair trial, I need to be compensated," I said.

"But you cleared it," the Cryptic Sun said.

"I only cleared it because of this," Shen Bao said as he pointed at his head. "I bet you, that if you give the exact sitting for my base to everyone participating, no one would be able to clear the stage if attacked by the four corpses, are you willing to take my bet? Or are you going to act like a coward and keep denying that you cheated," Shen Bao said.

The word Coward, and Sun do not mix well, which was enough a reason for the Cryptic Sun's rage to flare out.

"Calm down!" the words came from an unexpected tower, even Shen Bao didn't expect it.

The Darkest Sun who was not much of a fan of Shen Bao spoke up on his behalf. "He is right, are you willing to take the bet?"

"What if someone does clear it?!" the Cryptic Sun said.

"Then I'll willingly follow you," Shen Bao said in a wide smirk.

This sentence made everyone in the arena gasp.

To wager one's own fate in a trial where millions of cultivators are currently participating? That was nothing but a suicide.

However, the Cryptic Sun had to calculate and think for a while. Before he smiled and said, "I agree!" he then stopped the entirety of the trials.

"By the way, since it would most definitely fail everyone and stop the competition half way, it would be unfair for everyone to be disqualified," Shen Bao said.

"What do you mean?" the Cryptic Sun asked.

"I'm confident enough that they won't clear, so even if they lose, you must allow them to go beyond that stage and participate in the next trial. After all, it would really be too sad for me to win the entire thing at this stage no? there are still many more trials from our dear Suns that they put a lot of effort into making."

"I agree with Du Shen's words, even if they lose, they can still move forward to the next trial, the next one isn't easy regardless," the Lord of Lords said.

"I also agree," the Red Sun said.

The Wisest Sun nodded, and the Darkest Sun said he doesn't mind.

With the majority of the suns agreeing, the Cryptic Sun had no choice but to accept.

"Remember, exactly as I had setup my base, not a single thing missing," Shen Bao added.

"Fine, I won't change a thing, and they could vouch for it," the Cryptic Sun said.

Suddenly, in front of all the competitors a large screen manifested explaining what was going on.

The stage has been cut short, and they will all be transported to a new stage where they'll have a base already fully operable and they'll only need to defend it.

The bases were then showcased to every cultivator and they all were surprised at how eccentric and amazingly built the base was.

"I have to give them time to figure out how the base works, I suppose you don't mind that?" the Cryptic Sun said.

Shen Bao simply shrugged, "Do whatever you want, you can even double their points for all I care. But you must show them only the wares and purchasable that you showed me. Don't cheat!" he added mockingly.

The Cryptic Sun clicked his tongue. Due to Shen Bao having realized what he was scheming. After all, only Shen Bao was able to see what was in the merchant's inventory, so he could have easily swapped things. But with those words spoken the Cryptic Sun couldn't give the cultivators anything they could use to fight against the corpses.

Unless they would create the same rifle that Shen Bao had made, they would have no chance of winning.
