Chapter 7: Selling the "Void Bank Shares" to the Goblin Merchant Guild or the Gilurius Family, and Personally Guaranteeing That They Will Not Be Bought Back After This Sale.
...
That's right, such a simple plan. After gaining sufficient power, there's really no need for schemes and conspiracies against the "Merchant Alliance." Moreover, without any plot groundwork, the "Merchant Alliance" is more likely to agree to this transaction.
Sincerely wiping out the "Merchant Alliance" will definitely happen after winning the Abyss War. There's indeed no time for that before. So, selling the "Void Bank Shares" to earn a profit in advance can increase the odds of victory in the final battle against the Lord of the Abyss.
After replying to the email, Su Xiao looked at the next one. It was from Logistics Chief Talier, stating that in the "Space-Time Power Theft Case," the Eternal One Archis was indeed involved, but this guy was caught in the crossfire.
He completed an important mission in the first half of the Void battlefield, which involved destroying the dark power source in the western war zone. This thing would massively enhance the Abyss Legion within a few hundred kilometers, and it was guarded by multiple ancient abyssal beings.
The Eternal One Archis led several peak teams and successfully destroyed this dark power source. When submitting the mission, he didn't submit it to the Void Tree but to the Dawn Paradise, because there were bonuses.
As a result, he obtained the "Resource Allocation Authority: 2 Million Ounces." The Eternal One Archis didn't think much of it. There were a total of 12 peak-level and 183 supreme-level individuals. After the distribution, the Eternal One Archis himself only took 220,000 ounces of Space-Time Power.
The problem was that these 2 million ounces of Space-Time Power were allocated by the Dawn Paradise through the Void Tree's war dispatch from the Apocalypse Paradise. That's why, in the previous meeting, the more the Eternal One Archis listened, the more sweat formed on his forehead.
After reading this email, Su Xiao replied that he understood the matter and that he had misjudged his previous assessment. His previous assessment was about getting 48 million for free, and he thought it wasn't precise enough, since the amount in the "Space-Time Power Theft Case" was 50 million. But now, with this additional 2 million ounces, it turns out his estimate was spot on.
As soon as the email was sent back, Logistics Chief Talier replied with a single sentence:
'You better, thoroughly, in-ves-ti-gate, ah.'
From the text, one could almost see Logistics Chief Talier gritting her teeth. Su Xiao weighed the situation briefly, feeling that the possibility of the Tuanzhang and Logistics Chief Talier finding time to be intimate in the past 12 hours was unlikely. Both were very busy. The Tuanzhang probably hadn't sold him out yet. Even if old flames rekindled, it would have to wait until after winning the Abyss War. So, it was most likely Talier's intuition. Hmm, no evidence, no big problem.
If there was evidence, just deny it to the death. No big problem either.
Moreover, the primary suspect now was the Eternal One Archis. Su Xiao opened the email and expressed trust in the Eternal One Archis, stating that given his performance in the war, he would never do such a thing, etc.
At this moment, the Eternal One Archis, who had just finished breakfast, saw this email and his expression twisted. His 200,000 ounces were obtained illegitimately yet were legitimate mission rewards. And why should he, who took 200,000 ounces, bear the blame for 50 million ounces? That damn guy who swallowed 48 million!
The Eternal One Archis was about to curse the bastard who took the 48 million in his reply, but his habitual caution made him silently delete the typed text. For some reason, cursing that out would feel satisfying, but his back felt cold, his neck tingled, and his head felt light as if it were floating.
This sensation, as if his head had been chopped off with a single slash, made the Eternal One Archis shiver. He then deleted the earlier part as well and chose to send.
Inside the rest room, Su Xiao closed the email list, calmed his breath for a moment, and entered a meditative state. Unknowingly, his "Heart Meditation" ability leveled up. It wasn't due to any insight but the lingering effects of this promotion to Supreme. When he ended his meditation, a prompt appeared.
[Prompt: All your Supreme main attributes have reached 100 points. You have triggered the "Extreme Realm System: Realm of Self" for the first time. You have mastered "Spiritual Life Core."]
"Spiritual Life Core (Extreme Realm Ability): Constitutes up to 30% of the current Life Core limit as 'Spiritual Energy Life Cores.' This requires consuming 450,000 points of 'Azure Shadow King Energy.' The constituted 'Spiritual Life Cores' have two effects: they can be used as Life Cores to withstand damage, or they can be attached to the next attack, causing a more violent strike (attack intensity is determined by the strength of the 'Spiritual Life Core' and the number of 'Spiritual Life Cores' attached to this attack)."
Current Life Core limit: 1,410 cores.
Current number of Spiritual Energy Life Cores that can be constituted: 423 cores.
Prompt: A single attack can attach all "Spiritual Life Cores."
Prompt: Since "Spiritual Life Cores" are constituted from your own body energy, they are permanent. Unless destroyed, they have no time limit for existence. They have self-metabolism. When a "Spiritual Life Core" exists for more than 365 natural days, it will gradually be metabolized and replaced by your own body energy.
...
Without a doubt, this is the best opening ability and perfectly suits Su Xiao's style where every normal attack is a finishing move. This ability maximizes offense and defense integration, effectively transforming Su Xiao's 538,420 points of "Azure Shadow King Energy" into powerful combat strength during battle.
The first slash of the opening is very important. Whether you can gain an advantage in the subsequent battle largely depends on this slash.
[Prompt: You have triggered the following Hunt Bounty.]
