High above,
Prince Buolilin was being escorted by over ten thousand Star Level powerhouses.
He stood in the air, his eyes like lightning as he looked down at the crowd below, and arrogantly declared, "I, Prince Buolilin of the Empire, will seize the treasures within this realm. Those who are wise, quickly get out of the way!"
As this arrogant statement was made! The scene of a million people instantly fell silent, with many gazes focused on Buolilin.
In terms of personnel alone, the two Holy Lands had the most.
And the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land was also the imperial family, with their forces converging, immediately surpassing the other factions.
Buolilin naturally had the capital to be arrogant!
"Brother Hong, Brother Lei..."
At this moment, Ye Changge flew over and said, "We need to retreat."
"Whatever."
Thunder God shrugged.
The Earth quartet followed the Black Cloud Society's group, moving backward. Other forces did the same, yielding the prime positions to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
"The thunder is starting to fade!"
Just as the various factions were retreating, a startled cry rang out.
"Haha, Prince Buolilin is indeed a man of destiny!"
"As soon as His Highness arrived, the lightning covering Deep Blue Castle immediately cowered."
"It seems the treasures within this realm are destined to be His Highness's."
"Chh… chh… chh!"
"Chh… chh!"
"Chh!"
As if to accommodate the numerous flatterers, the interwoven lightning of countless years ceased at this moment.
The various factions also simultaneously stopped their retreat.
"This is a bit strange!"
The Thunder God looked up and said in a low voice.
Prince Buolilin arrived, and the lightning disappeared?
Judging from this single aspect, it did seem strange indeed.
"Have you all noticed? The more people who enter the world within a world, the weaker the lightning becomes…"
Luo Feng observed carefully and analyzed, "If my guess is correct, everyone in the lightning world is gathered here."
Hearing this.
The crowd nodded in agreement.
After the thunder dissipated, Prince Buolilin raised a hand and ordered, "Go, open the city gates for me."
"Yes, sir!"
Several Star Level warriors from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, clad in armor and holding shields, cautiously advanced towards Deep Blue Castle, stepping carefully through the area previously covered by the thunder.
At this moment.
A million people held their breath, focusing intently on the direction of the city gates.
They passed through the thunder area, unharmed.
They continued forward.
200 meters.
100 meters.
50 meters.
"Safe!"
After reaching the city gate, the leading burly man in black shouted, and Star Level warriors followed closely, hundreds of meters behind.
However.
Just as the burly man at the front was about to push open the castle gate.
"Chirp" "Chirp"…
A torrent of violent electric snakes burst forth from all directions of the castle. These snakes formed a terrifying electrical ring, and in an instant, any Star Level powerhouse who touched it was instantly vaporized. Their bodies were reduced to ash, leaving only their D-Grade Metal Battle Armor to fall to the ground…
Seeing this, the million people present couldn't help but gasp.
A Star Level 9 warrior wearing D-Grade Metal Battle Armor was turned to dust. This meant that none of them could withstand the electric snakes.
"This?!"
Prince Buolilin's eyes widened, and he instinctively retreated dozens of meters, his heart filled with dread.
After the electric snakes dissipated, they vanished silently.
However, at this moment, no one dared to take another step forward.
"Prince Buolilin, you are a person of destiny, why not give it a try?"
"I think Prince Buolilin can do it, the lightning recognizes a master!"
"Hahaha."
Seeing Prince Buolilin fail, mocking voices immediately came from the other factions.
Prince Buolilin's expression instantly became very ugly.
'Crack!'
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the castle gate, which then slowly opened.
"Haha, welcome everyone to the master's world within a world."
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out, "Oh, right, that lightning was just a small test for you. You can't be careless when adventuring in the universe, or you'll fall..."
"Understand?"
"But..."
"You should be safe now."
Hearing this, the million or so adventurers were startled, but still, no one dared to step forward.
What the heck?!
Safe is safe?!
What's the meaning of this?!
"My master's world within a world?"
"Could he be Lord Kabu's AI?"

"Good heavens, Lord Kabu has been dead for tens of millions of years, and his AI is still around?"
"If he's an intelligent being, we're in big trouble!"
Outside the castle, many adventurers cried out in alarm.
"It's certainly troublesome!"
Babata's voice also echoed in Jiang Li's consciousness: "Judging by the AI's reaction, it has probably evolved into an intelligent being!"
"After tens of millions of years of solitude, I suspect this intelligent being has long since become psychologically warped."
Hearing this.
Jiang Li was slightly stunned.
Babata definitely had the most say in this matter.
Even an AI that had been alone for fifty thousand years was a bit off, let alone one that had existed for millions of years?
"Hmm?"
"Is no one willing to trust this old man anymore?"
No one from any of the various forces had entered the castle, which seemed to displease the AI.
Subsequently,
Spectacular beams of light appeared above the castle, eventually converging into a virtual figure.
That was a chubby old man with a white beard, looking quite amiable.
He squinted his eyes, overlooking the dense crowd below, and suddenly let out a puzzled sound: "What's going on?"
"Why are so many of the Thunderstones I arranged missing?"
Hearing this...
The Earth quartet's hearts immediately skipped a beat! "Thunderstones?"
"What Thunderstones? Shouldn't it be Cosmic Crystals?"
"It seems to be a stone containing a little bit of energy. Is that thing useful?"
"Who knows!"
Hearing the old man with the white beard, many adventurers murmured amongst themselves.
"This is going to be difficult!"
The old man with the white beard looked around, surveying the scene, and stroked his chin. "Most of the Thunderstone is gone, and there are so many of you. My master's treasures aren't enough to go around!"
"How about this!"
"First, let me show you the treasures!"
"Open!"
The old man with the white beard waved his large hand. Above the castle, light flowed and shifted, and a massive screen appeared. On it were various treasure names and illustrations, a vast number that was dazzling to behold.
At the very top of the list...
"Inheritance Crystal Ball!"
The leaders of various factions focused their burning gazes on the first item, and they immediately saw the prices marked behind each item.
"Are Thunderstones the exchange currency?"
"The deposit account for the Inheritance Crystal Ball actually requires 10 million Thunderstones?"
"Damn, there's a Domain Lord-level Bloodline Potion too?"
"Crimson Coral Fruit?"
"5th Grade High-Quality Mental Power Weapon, Starfall?"
"Good heavens, this Lord Kabu is even richer than an ordinary Immortal!"
The heavy breathing outside the castle walls grew more pronounced as they gazed upon the priceless treasures.
In total, there were sixty-eight different types of treasures, with a staggering three hundred and twelve individual items. Any one of these treasures, if taken outside, would be enough to make a Lord's heart race and a Domain Lord go wild!
"The worst of them is still a 5th Grade High-Quality energy weapon!"
Luo Feng was also excited, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.
After all, the most valuable thing he currently possessed was the 3rd Grade low-quality 'Dodge the Heavens Shuttle', which seemed like scrap metal compared to the treasures on display.
"No wonder the major powers don't even care about Cosmic Crystals anymore!"
Hong took several deep breaths, trying to calm himself. "Compared to these treasures, Cosmic Crystals are utterly worthless!"
"Three hundred plus one hundred plus eight hundred plus…"
While nearly everyone was in an excited state, Thunder God was carefully counting on his fingers.
"What are you calculating?" Hong glanced at him and asked.
"Plus sixty, plus twenty equals eighty-six million three hundred thousand…"
"Nice!"
Thunder God suddenly snapped his fingers, his eyes fixed on Jiang Li: "Jiang Li, I've calculated it. Excluding the two most expensive treasures, the other treasures total eighty-six million three hundred thousand Thunderstone…"
"That means…"
His voice paused, and the three of them turned their gazes towards Jiang Li.
"Mine!"
"All mine!"
Babata's excited voice echoed constantly in Jiang Li's consciousness.
"What are you waiting for?"
Seeing the adventurers still excited, the white-bearded old man kindly reminded them, "Hurry and find the Thunderstones!"
