Starting with Growing Mushrooms

The existence that created the Eighth Realm, Sakya.

One of the three leaders in this frontline universe?

How did he get here so quickly?

No matter how you look at it, he’s just a harmless, introverted, and shy man.

While Liu Jun hesitated, those powerful entities hiding in various shelters and laboratories in the distance saw their legendary leader appear, and all held their breath, their mouths agape.

"That presence has arrived."

The kobold scientist, as if seeing an idol, said, "Even though that one is closest to us, doesn’t it still take more than a decade to get here?"

A nearby executive replied, "It must be that Laboratory No. 7 has made some breakthroughs."

Each laboratory has a different research focus.

And due to confidentiality regulations, these researchers cannot exchange information with each other, naturally not knowing to what extent their colleagues in neighboring labs have progressed.

It now seems there must have been a breakthrough in travel technology.

However.

The side effects also appear to be significant!

The leader of the three realms coming in person shows they sustained considerable injuries during this transmission.

I’m afraid that aside from those three, anyone else using this method would only meet the fate of dying on the spot.

"What a troublesome matter."

Seeing Prince Guguang turned into a fool, Sakya sighed softly; such mysterious and eerie gods are truly troublesome to deal with.

Why did it have to be me coming here? I really want to go home.

He rolled his lifeless eyes.

Unlike other leaders, he has no interest in so-called invasions, attacks, or plundering.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was the closest and had some connections with Prince Guguang, he wouldn’t want to come at all.

Such troublesome matters are usually left to others for him to handle.

"What if I don’t return it?" the God of Merchants suddenly spoke.

"Since you are the God of Merchants, can you buy back those treasures of his?"

The other party seemed honest and hesitant, even a bit timid and guilty, "The power of the King of Guguang is necessary."

It seems dealing with outsiders is a huge burden for this homebody.

The God of Merchants glanced at him, caring not whether he was pretending:

"Then hit me a few times, and consider putting the items as goods on my shop shelves, allowing you to purchase them back."

Sakya paused in silence, suddenly speaking, "Alright, although I’m not very good at fighting."

Suddenly, a scientist below shouted, "No! Sir, all gods have certain unique divine attributes, once you attack him, you’ll..."

"I already understand the situation."

Sakya interrupted the information below that was about to be disclosed, sighing, "For both our sides, it’s the best choice... this can be considered my apology."

As soon as he finished speaking.

A momentum overwhelming the sky gradually rose.

"Today, my physical condition might not be too good..." Around Sakya, the power boiled as if his domineering will crushed the entire world.

"A contrasting type of leader?" Liu Jun glanced at him, surprised.

This guy seems silent and introverted, but when his momentum erupts, it brings an astonishing aura of dominance.

As mentioned.

Fighting each other once is the best choice.

Whether it’s the right to speak or anything else, in essence, sufficient strength is required to dominate everything.

So-called communication only occurs when the disparity is not too vast.

Ants have no right to converse with a Giant Dragon.

Furthermore.

It seems whenever he attacks, the God of Merchants might swipe something extremely valuable.

But ultimately, an attack must be made.

This is a very simple truth.

To avoid attacking out of fear, could he really let the opponent leave? Let them come and go freely?

"Then punch once."

Sakya slowly extended his hand.

With a direct punch, waves of fist shadows instantly transformed into a white waterfall, trembling and sweeping over, turning the entire area into a massive white light.

In an instant, the God of Merchants was vaporized.

Yes, the powerful Daoist Body of the recently acquired King of Guguang, with its perfectly matched various techniques and formidable peerless combat prowess, was just vaporized like that.

Just like crushing an ant by the roadside.

But in the next moment, countless time gold coins clinked and fell.

The God of Merchants began to rapidly recover, with his shadow flickering, constantly cycling between life and death.

Almost instantly, he was killed thousands of times by the overlapping fist force of that punch.

"Such a... strange ability."

Sakya was somewhat shocked by this strange power,

"I clearly erased all of his existence, deliberately breaking down every material molecule and scattering it across various regions, yet he can still recover."

This is beyond current explanations.

It completely defies cosmic reasoning.

This is indeed a conceptual power of time reversal.

Looking at the God of Merchants recovering again, Sakya had no intention of further probing.

Firstly, because of this attack, he lost a treasure: the cultivation method of the Daoist Body.

Of course, this was deliberately given out; if he wanted, something else inconsequential could have been taken.

This was the intended apology.

Secondly, due to his character, it’s already rare enough to force him out once.

He was now eager to return to his little home.

Moreover, the God of Merchants is neutral among the gods, there’s absolutely no need to resort to violence.

The God of Merchants and Longevity Divine Spirit are both considered one of the two ancient deities.

If it really comes to blows, the God of Merchants, as an ancient being, capable of trading everywhere, wouldn’t he have a way to escape?

As wealthy as a nation!

He is so rich, who knows how long it would take to kill him.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to continue fighting.

Furthermore, if pushed to the brink and the opponent really can’t escape, he might call upon an even older, more mysterious, truly peak existence in the myths of the gods:

The Longevity God.

They might have to face off against that being.

From a status and historical perspective, he does not believe this ancient god would be weaker than their great enemy, the Tenth Heavenly Will!

Moreover, even if they truly wanted to hunt down a Divine Spirit, they would not choose the God of Merchants.

For all the above reasons, he naturally intends to negotiate.

Establishing the largest trade relationship with the God of Merchants is theoretically the best choice.

"I’ve made my move, so can we sit down and talk now?" Sakya said.

The God of Merchants nodded, feeling the weighty sincerity from the treasure stolen from the other side, and couldn’t help but smile, "Of course!"

Though somewhat surprised.

The other leader actually came in person, but the goal was achieved.

"Merchants inherently engage in trade, guests won’t be turned away."

"If it weren’t for some unruly beings trying to rob a merchant, things wouldn’t have escalated to this level."

"Merchants thrive on harmony and profit, naturally, we can talk."

Sakya nodded, forcibly showing a stiff polite smile, "Then... the misunderstanding is resolved, let’s sit down and talk."

Soon, they arrived at the laboratory below.

Sakya summoned a Kobold scientist to negotiate on his behalf and ran into a room himself.

It seemed those few dialogues had already exhausted all his energy for the day.

The Kobold smiled awkwardly at the God of Merchants, "Lord Sakya is one of the few normal people we have."

Liu Jun nodded, finding it rather interesting.

Not all powerful individuals are the same.

Powerful individuals are also living beings, each life has its own personality.

Just like in the previous life, many world-changing scientists were quite silent, didn’t like to talk, and were even a bit shy...

The fact that this person can maintain such a temperament to this extent, not liking to go out and preferring to stay in a room to study things, isn’t it a healthy manifestation?

At least, compared to Prince Guguang, who spends years acting as a lonely seaweed at the ocean’s bottom, he’s much healthier and more normal.

Liu Jun pondered, thinking to himself, "The leaders of the three major realms correspond to realms six, seven, and eight, and their realms can also reveal their personalities."

The sixth, Galina, as a mother, is the most perverted and twisted.

The seventh, Moxia, because of his love for the art of knot tying, popularized shackles at the seventh tier...

From this, it’s clear he is a reckless rogue, never following rules, doing whatever he pleases.

The eighth, Sakya, who loves building blocks and stacking Tao Spirits... it indeed aligns well with his otaku first impression.

At this moment, the Kobold scientist, sweating profusely, nervously looked at the God of Merchants.

This lord is truly willful, wanting me to handle the negotiations?

The most crucial part is, how would I know the trading conditions and psychological price points of the high-level strong entities?

If Lord Moxia of the Seventh Realm were here, it would be better, his personality is the most outgoing, he would certainly be adorned with flowers, talking joyfully with the God of Merchants.

Whoosh.

Taking a deep breath, the Kobold scientist, somewhat scared, looked at the God of Merchants, "You are a merchant, right, in your opinion, how should we cooperate?"

The God of Merchants smiled and took out a report, "I have a trade template here, you may take a look."

The Kobold scientist picked up the information and began perusing it, the words were directly understood spiritually and instantly comprehensible.

Upon careful examination, he roughly understood the intentions of this God of Merchants’ visit.

He is not just here to reclaim the lost, non-compliant eagle, but also to open up trade routes here, to do business.

The Kobold scientist glanced at it, hesitating, "Esteemed deity, why are the prices of our goods a hundred times that of other Immortal Path civilizations?"

For instance, becoming an agency of a pawnshop branch in the Immortal Path civilization only requires tens of thousands of "equipment".

But here?

A full hundred times.

This is more than just daylight robbery.

"Prices are set based on various factors." Liu Jun was utterly calm, why did he come under the guise of the God of Merchants?

Using the identity of a god like the God, it might end in a fight, and possibly losing.

But adopting the identity of a merchant, the other party has to consider trade issues, even if very strong, they dare not act recklessly.

Moreover,

This identity provides strong self-protection capabilities, suitable in all respects.

After all,

This is akin to baiting them.

As long as they covet the various local specialties of our World of Gods, they must endure the God of Merchants’ exploitation through gritted teeth.

The Kobold scientist broke out in a cold sweat, shouting:

"Can we lower the prices? Our universe is on the front line... fighting for the protection of the cosmos, for the grand cause of dimensional ascension of the cosmos’s entire civilization!"

The God of Merchants disregarded this, "If you can’t afford it, I can seek out your rival camp, the Tenth Heavenly Will."

"Don’t forget, we’ve already had unpleasant experiences, I can entirely choose the opposite camp, and I also believe they would welcome our divine trade."

The Kobold scientist was instantly overwhelmed.

He completely couldn’t imagine how terrible it would be if the celestial beings, already pressing them down, gained assistance from the other side through trade!

However, such a huge cost isn’t something a mere chief scientist of a small local laboratory can decide!

Just then, an honest man’s voice came to his ear:

"Agree with him."
