Wu Tao shook his head, his tone firm. "You are the first, and the only one among the giants. I have never mentioned or discussed this matter with any other giant."
The Giant King Wular heard this and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. His large eyes, sharp and piercing, gazed deeply at Wu Tao.
He truly could not have imagined that this unassuming little being possessed something that could change the fate of the giant race.
At this moment, the Giant King Wular greatly rejoiced that he had not opposed Wuxingtian's request and had not interfered when this kid became the guardian.
"Otherwise, how could such a good thing fall into his hands?"
...
"Alright, I admit that your method of using these pills as currency is feasible..."
"But we still need to discuss the terms. One million pills annually is far too little. Can you give more, say two million?"
The Giant King Wular's expression gradually returned to a state of calm, and he spoke to Wu Tao with amiability.
"At most, one point five million pills annually. And you must meet my conditions before this transaction can be truly finalized."
A chilling light appeared in Wu Tao's eyes as he looked at the Giant King Wular, who was many times his height.
The Giant King Wular, seeing Wu Tao's sudden change in attitude, was taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure.
The cultivation world is, after all, a place where strength reigns supreme!
As long as you possess sufficient strength, you can act entirely according to your own will, without needing to consider anyone else's thoughts, living as you please.
Conversely, if you lack strength, you can only become a pawn on the chessboard, manipulated at the whim of the players.
After a deep look at Wu Tao, the Giant King Wular sighed and said, "To be honest, I am truly tempted."
"Since that is the case, let it be so. I will make this deal. I will immediately convene a meeting of the leaders of each tribe to discuss this matter!"
"Excellent, Your Majesty is wise. This is definitely a mutually beneficial matter."
Hearing the Giant King Wular's response, Wu Tao felt a slight joy in his heart.
Now, it was finally his turn to take the initiative.
Once these Blood Vitality Replenishing Pills were truly promoted and became the common currency of the giant race, there would be no turning back for him.
Striking while the iron was hot, Wu Tao quickly presented several plans and gradually introduced them to the Giant King Wular.
Like dissecting an ox with skill, after a session of highly skillful flattery and honeyed words, the Giant King Wular was completely bewildered.
In the first half, he only heard about centralization, centralization, centralization...
Various methods for controlling hundreds of tribes, numerous and complex, far superior to the few cunning tricks he had painstakingly devised.
If before, he had doubted whether Wu Tao was reliable, whether he was truly the master of a major human faction,
Now, he had no doubts at all.
Given this brother's level of skill and methods in exploiting his subordinates, it was not something that could be honed in just a year or two in a high position.
In the latter half, he not only heard about power but also about reputation.
The Giant King Wular couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, wishing he could crush Wu Tao and personally oversee the completion of this matter that would influence the history of the giant race.
To gain both profit and fame!
How wonderful it would be to enjoy it all alone. Why share it with others?
...
However, the Giant King Wular's selfish thought was quickly dismissed.
On one hand, he felt that he might not be able to defeat Wu Tao. How embarrassing and humiliating it would be if he were defeated by Wu Tao.
On the other hand, the giant race had absolutely no understanding of the art of pill refining.
With no technical proficiency, how could they hope to cast him aside and distance themselves, acting alone?
Only Wu Tao could produce these Blood Vitality Replenishing Pills.
If he squeezed Wu Tao out, the other party would not indulge him and would simply pack up and leave.
In this regard, the Giant King Wular had a very clear self-awareness.
Within the ancient and grand Giant King's Palace, although it was still built with stones for bricks and tiles, a palace was, after all, a palace, and it was bound to be somewhat different.
At the grand entrance of the Giant King's Palace, a large group of giants were pointing and chattering, wondering what matter their king had suddenly summoned the leaders of all tribes for.
On the day of the bloodline sacrifice, an outsider was recognized by the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow and became the next guardian of the giant race...
Such earth-shattering events were, for the peaceful giant race of many years, truly topics of conversation for many days.
Now, the king of the giant race had summoned the leaders of all tribes for a meeting, which inevitably led to the gate of the Giant King's Palace being bustling.
Meanwhile, the guards of the palace were also moving about, maintaining order and contributing to the lively prosperity.
The Giant King's Palace.
Within the unique circular long table of the giant race.
The Giant King Wular sat in the principal seat.
The leaders of the major tribes were seated on either side according to the strength of their respective tribes.
On the table were some cooked meats and some water jugs.
Of course, there were also some writing tools and paper meant for giants on the table.
In front of them was a long scroll, depicting a vast system.
Wu Tao stood above the scroll, explaining to the leaders of the giant tribes the great benefits and conveniences of unifying the currency.
The knowledge of currency, improved by countless generations of human ancestors, was poured into the minds of these giants by Wu Tao, with a slightly exaggerated tone.
After speaking, to prove the reliability of his words, Wu Tao produced those hundreds of Blood Vitality Replenishing Pills.
Upon feeling the effects of these Blood Vitality Replenishing Pills, the eyes of the leaders of the various tribes immediately lit up. Just as Liu Haotian, at the head of the demon race, was celebrating their great victory while clearing out the remnants of the undead race!
...
Michael, the King of Angels, who presided over the Divine Realm, finally received intelligence from Gabriel: Arcesius was dead, and the undead race was annihilated.
The news that the unification of hell was an irreversible trend.
Upon receiving this news, all seven Divine Realm Archangels gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Michael was an Archangel in the late Divine Realm, the King of Angels.
Gabriel was the great general of the angel race, in charge of the army, possessing a mid-Divine Realm cultivation.
Uriel was the prosecutor in charge of the laws of the angel race, a beginner Divine Realm.
Raphael was the captain of the guard responsible for defending the Divine Realm, a beginner Divine Realm.
Raguel's task was to be the chief officer of the intelligence department overseeing the Divine Realm, hell, and the main plane, a beginner Divine Realm.
Sariel was the highest angelic officer in charge of the logistics department for rewards and punishments, a beginner Divine Realm.
Remiel was the highest officer in charge of all angel education, a beginner Divine Realm. Da Feng Novel Network
...
"Arcesius has fallen in battle..."
Michael rubbed his forehead, saying with a headache.
Arcesius, like him, was a powerful figure in the late Divine Realm, ranking among the top five in the entire crystal wall system.
Yet, he died so easily. Even Michael felt a sense of shared sorrow.
"King, our angel army has not yet fully mobilized. But given the circumstances, we need to prepare in advance."
Gabriel said, rising.
"There's no need. The demon race will not launch an offensive for the time being."
Raphael spoke before the other angels could.
"To place the fate of the angel race in the hands of others is a foolish thing..."
"Given the ambition of this new king of the demon race, I am certain he will attack our angel race!"
Sariel said with a frown.
...
"No, precisely because this new king of the demon race is too ambitious, he will not act rashly..."
"At least until he unifies and consolidates hell, he will not proactively attack us..."
"Because with the rear not yet stable, initiating a cross-border war would be beyond his strength and would lead to certain defeat."
"Even if he, newly enthroned, does not notice this, someone will..."
Raphael said slowly.
Secondly, Liu Haotian's physical strength and hardness were also enhanced to a comparable level, making it impossible for ordinary divine or demonic artifacts to inflict even the slightest damage on him.
This means that from now on, all weapons and magic, except those effective against Divine Realm powerhouses, will be completely ineffective against him.
In addition, the ten skills within Liu Haotian's body became even more terrifying after merging with Arcesius's power.
1. Nearly Infinite Magic Power. 2. Devouring Domain. 3. Demon King's True Form. 4. (Unclear skill). 5. Dark Sun. 6. God of War. 7. Soul Splitting. 8. Good Fortune Tenfold Increase. 9. Destruction. 10. (Unclear skill).
Liu Haotian's nearly infinite magic power merged with Arcesius's magic power, forming what could be called an eternal and immortal source of magic power.
From now on, no matter how long or fierce the battle, Liu Haotian would not have to worry about running out of magic power.
The "Devouring Domain" could devour everything around and convert it into his own needed substances. Merged with Arcesius's Death Domain, it was sublimated into an unsolvable law of destruction.
After concentrating more than half of hell's authority upon himself,
Liu Haotian's Demon King's True Form, in addition to the demonic nature from the source of darkness, now possessed a touch of extreme divine sanctity.
The Demon King's True Form thus transformed into the Demon God's Body.
The "Mighty Strength" skill, combined with Arcesius's strength-based skills, transformed into another skill called "Limit Breaker."
Once this skill was used, Liu Haotian could unleash power far exceeding his own limits, enough to strike down the sun and pierce the moon.
The "Dark Sun," after merging with Arcesius's Undead Flame, became even more terrifying in its abilities, with added properties like adhesion and scorching, now called "Black Sun."
The "God of War" skill, combined with Arcesius's combat experience, was transformed into "God Slayer," a divine skill that could play a crucial role in combat.
When activated, the "God Slayer" skill not only granted superhuman combat intuition but also nearly god-like close-combat abilities honed through countless trials.
The "Soul Splitting" skill allowed Liu Haotian to separate his soul into many parts without adverse effects, used to control others.
The "Soul Splitting" skill, merged with Arcesius's Soul Seizing, transformed into a skill that could spontaneously divide the soul and seize the body, serving as independent clones.
Good Fortune.
