Chapter 1377: The Diplomatic Gift

Given the trajectory of Xu the Divine Master’s disciples, it was certain that by then, he would have an abundance of chaotic truth and Primordial Supreme Treasures.

At this thought, the Lord of the Demon Domain managed to hold back the drool that was about to drip from his mouth.

“I take disciples based on fate,” Xu Fan said with a slight smirk.

“Lord of the Demon Domain, such a fortunate opportunity is something you should indeed consider,” the Yuan Lord remarked, with a hint of sarcasm.

Truth be told, he was genuinely concerned that Xu Fan might take the Lord of the Demon Domain as a disciple.

Feeling somewhat disheartened, the Lord of the Demon Domain said his goodbyes and returned to the Three Thousand Realms.

“Now that everything is settled, let the Three Thousand Realms recover for the next hundred thousand years.”

“During this period, I will be resting. Unless it’s urgent, do not disturb me,” Xu Fan declared as his form dissipated.

At the Hidden Spirit Sect, within Xu Fan’s courtyard.

Two radiant young women stood obediently before Xu Fan.

These two were brought into being by Number Five Avatar, using the essences of two stars provided by Xu Fan.

“Master, the one on the left is Xiao Xing, and the one on the right is Xiao Chen.”

“Both possess chaotic saint-level fighting strength, and their energy needs are continuously met by the Holy Sun and Holy Light stars, so there’s no worry about them dissipating from energy depletion.”

“Within a radius of three hundred million light armors in the Three Thousand Realms, drawing on their source stars, Xiao Xing and Xiao Chen can exhibit the fighting strength of top-tier chaotic saints.”

Xu Fan listened to the explanation while observing the two girls in front of him.

“Xiao Xing and Xiao Chen pay our respects to the Master, and wish to serve you forever,” the two young women said, performing a kneeling bow.

“You don’t need to stay by my side; each of you should return to your source planets.”

“Only intervene when the Three Thousand Realms face a crisis,” Xu Fan instructed.

It was undeniable that the women created by Number Five Avatar perfectly aligned with Xu Fan’s aesthetic preferences.

“Husband, I can’t help but notice that these two women bear a resemblance to me,” Zhang Weiyun commented, looking at the kneeling figures.

“They were created by my Number Five Avatar, so they do carry some resemblance to your features,” Xu Fan explained with a smile.

“You may return now; I will summon you when necessary.”

“As you command.”

With that, two flashes of light appeared—one of Holy Sun and the other of Holy Light.

…………

In Xu Fan’s spirit space, avatar number one was updating Xu Fan on the events following the teleportation of the Three Thousand Realms.

“The departure from the ranch has caught the attention of the leader of the Beast God Demon Empire.”

“Shortly after, the leader modified the Chaos Space Great Path of the ranch, preventing any worlds from leaving.”

“Additionally, the passage you previously found has been sealed off.”

“The entire ranch was thoroughly scanned by the leader, and it seems it will be tens of thousands of Epochs before you can return,” avatar number one reported.

“So, does this mean we’re pretty lucky? But has the human race been noticed?” Xu Fan asked cautiously.

“Not really. Your identity makes them a bit cautious, and since you have an avatar on the boundary battlefield, they won’t dare to push things too far,” Avatar Number One replied.

“Good enough,” Xu Fan nodded.

Just as Xu Fan was about to ask more questions, Grape notified him that a powerful being from the Heavenly Merchant Clan had arrived.

“We’ll talk later.”

Xu Fan shifted his consciousness back to his main body and stepped out, appearing beyond the Three Thousand Realms.

A grand palace loomed above the Three Thousand Realms, ready to host the visiting powerful beings.

The Heavenly Merchant Clan’s delegation consisted of one Chaotic Great Saint and ten chaotic saints.

“Congratulations on the successful migration of the human race’s great world,” the Chaotic Great Saint of the Heavenly Merchant Clan said with a smile.

Honestly, he was a bit surprised when he first laid eyes on the Three Thousand Realms.

In the Chaotic Mist Area, aside from the Leaders of the God Demon Empire, he considered himself at the peak of power.

So, he understood just how challenging it was to transfer a great world into such a complex stellar environment.

The chaotic wide road and the rules involved were beyond even a powerful being of his caliber.

He had initially thought the human race might cultivate a new world from the ruins to adapt to the stellar environment.

But not long after, he received word from within the clan to visit the human race in the Three Thousand Realms to establish diplomatic relations.

When he arrived and saw the Three Thousand Realms, he realized that the renowned Xuanhuang Artifact Master of the human race was also a top-tier formations master.

Migrating a great world and stabilizing it in such a complex stellar environment could only be achieved through grand formations crafted by the best formations masters—or by altering the rules themselves, as only the Leaders of the God Demon Empire could do.

“You’re too kind, senior. It’s an honor for the human race to have you visit our Three Thousand Realms,” Xu Fan said politely.

Inside the temple, a culinary river exuding a supreme chaotic aura caught the attention of all the Heavenly Merchant Clan visitors.

This culinary river was condensed by Xu Fan after elevating his realm to the chaotic saint realm using chaotic truth.

Any single dish from this river could leave even chaotic saints and Great Saints longing for more.

“Master Xu, what incredible skill!”

“I never expected to see a chaotic saint-level culinary river here,” the Chaotic Great Saint of the Heavenly Merchant Clan exclaimed, clearly impressed.

“Just a small trick, senior. I hope it doesn’t disappoint,” Xu Fan replied modestly.

According to the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s customs, diplomatic gifts were exchanged based on the value of the relationship.

Xu Fan estimated his own worth and felt certain that the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s gift would be substantial.

That’s why he had gone to such lengths to create this culinary river.

Inside the temple, the top-tier powerful beings of the human race had gathered to welcome the Heavenly Merchant Clan.

“Our Heavenly Merchant Clan has come to establish diplomatic relations with the human race.”

“One Primordial Supreme Treasure, ten divine objects, one hundred top-tier Xuanhuang Supreme Treasures, one thousand small world chaotic spirit ores, and ten million zhang of Primordial Purple Qi crystals.”

“Additionally, there are…”

The list of diplomatic gifts from the Heavenly Merchant Clan took a full five minutes to recite.

The human race’s powerful beings in the temple felt that these items could practically buy the entire Three Thousand Realms.

“Thank you, Heavenly Merchant Clan, for your generous gifts. In the future, the human race will be your best partner,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

The sheer scale of the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s offerings was beyond Xu Fan’s expectations.

But he also knew that the Heavenly Merchant Clan would expect tenfold—or even a hundredfold—returns from him in the future.

“In the future, the human race will be the best partner of our Heavenly Merchant Clan.”

After the formalities, both sides took their seats.

Both the human race and the Heavenly Merchant Clan had been eagerly anticipating the chaotic saint-level culinary river.

With fewer than 200 people from both sides, they managed to devour a culinary river that could have fed ten thousand people for a thousand years.

In the guest hall of the Hidden Spirit Sect, the Chaotic Great Saint of the Heavenly Merchant Clan still looked dazed.

The variety of delicacies in the culinary river, far beyond his imagination, made him feel as if he were in paradise.

“Xu the Divine Master, I have some orders I’d like to discuss with you.”
