"MEROWWWW!!" Yunsu roared and slapped Hengsheng's face multiple times with her paws for daring to stop her!
The cat's eye filled with madness as her primal instinct had already taken control over her body.
"You can't eat people!" Hengsheng endured the cat paw attacks and held her body tightly, not letting her have a chance to run wild.
"MEOWWWWWWWWWW!" Yunsu bit Hengsheng's hand with her sharp fangs!
"AHHHH!!! You give me no choice!" Hengsheng channeled the Origin Energy from his Spiritual Symbol through his hand, wrapping it around Yunsu.
Yunsu sensed the familiar energy. She struggled even harder to break free, but due to their soul connection, she could not resist Hengsheng's influence.
"MEOWWWwww…" Yunsu disappeared from Hengsheng's hands; she was sent into the system world to cool herself down.
Hengsheng healed his hand that had a fang mark on it, with gentle Wood Qi. He could not help but shake his head at his carelessness—he did not expect Yunsu would react this way after sensing the presence of the Divine Beast Bloodline.
"I apologize for the unsightly scene." Hengsheng He leaned down and sat down on the giant majestic throne in the Throne Room within the Maker Mansion.
His eyes landed on the light blue-haired woman in black robes. Her eyes carried an anxious expression. She was Xia Zhenxue, the descendant of the Xia Dynasty of the Great Northern Empire.
She quietly sat on the guest seat before him, with Xiaorong standing aside, his expression filled with annoyance.
Hengsheng had been looking for her for a year since he entered this continent; he finally had a key individual for his plan on this Myriad Dynastry Continent.
"You can go now…" Hengsheng leaned back on the throne and sent Xiaorong a hand gesture.
Lan Xiaorong's veins on his head bulged when he saw the other side's arrogant attitude, but he obediently walked out of the room because he didn't want to have any problems with this wicked person.
Thud!
The gigantic door closed, leaving only Hengsheng and Xia Zhenxue inside the throne room.
Their eyes met, yet neither of them spoke first. Hengsheng did not like playing mind games like this; he preferred when people were more straightforward.
"You can ask me a question if you want, before we sign the contract," Hengsheng said.
Xia Zhenxue gazed at the person before her—he whom the company called the chairman.
She was unable to sense his cultivation realm at all. If they had encountered each other somewhere else, she would have considered him just an ordinary mortal.
"The director said the company will help me reclaim my ancestor's land. May I ask why? Why help me?" she asked.
She did not doubt very much about the company's capability to achieve such an objective, because she could tell the company's origin might not be an ordinary story like an ascended faction from the lower realm, as the rumors said.
This was because the strength and technique that the director had possessed—he clearly had a very profound cultivation base and technique—even she, who had inherited almost everything from the Great Northern Empire, could not compete with.
Then, the method used to transport her to this place—spatial teleportation—was not one that factions from the lower realm could utilize.
The means of crossing space were rare in the lower realm and even in this realm; only ruling factions such as the three great empires possessed this ability.
What's more, the place she was in right now had a density of the surrounding Qi unlike anywhere she had ever been. It was so dense that if she cultivated here, her cultivation speed would increase tenfold.
A place like this should be considered a holy land to every faction; there was no way a place like this could be left unnoticed by those ruling factions, yet the company possesses it without anyone knowing.
The things she experienced from this faction in just a few moments of interaction made her quite sure their origin was not ordinary.
They perhaps came from a higher realm.
If they were really what, like she thought, then what they said about helping her reclaim her ancestor's land was possible—but she wanted to know why?
…
Hengsheng observed Xia Zhenxue.
This woman carried the bloodline of the Xia Dynasty—the same dynasty that once ruled the Great Northern Empire before it was destroyed by the Blood Fiend Sect 50,000 years ago.
The information Hengsheng received from Prisoner No. 7.
This No. 7 guy is the prince of the Great Southern Empire; he knows many things about the political landscape of this continent, which has benefited him greatly since it helped him plan his moves very well.
The information about the Xia Dynasty, now known as the Xia Clan of the North Wall, had caught Hengsheng's eye since they possessed the bloodline of the Divine Beast. Even though it was very diluted and could not be considered a true Divine Bloodline, it was still a powerful bloodline.
Hengsheng peeked at them with the Dimensional Map because he wanted to see other Divine Bloodline possessors besides Yunsu, but he was disappointed because they did not seem extraordinary in his eyes—not because the bloodline was weak, but because the cultivators themselves were weak.
He realized the gap in advantage that people from the Higher Realm like him had over the people on this continent.
His cultivation technique and other techniques of the Higher Realm were clearly far more profound than those in this realm.
Even a weakling like Xiaorong, who had nothing particularly special about him, could be considered a Heaven's Chosen on this continent—that was the difference.
While he read through the report, he came across the information about Xia Zhenxue.
This woman had been raised secretly by the Xia Clan for a hundred years before her identity as the True Divine Beast Bloodline possessor was exposed.
The presence of the True Divine Beast Bloodline provoked conflict between the three great empires, plus one great noble clan.
The Three Great Empires demanded that the Xia Clan hand her over, as they all wanted to have a divine bloodline within their lineage.
But this woman somehow escaped and disappeared.
The information from No. 7 guy said that his empire had always been following her track, never giving up.
This incident happened 1,500 years ago.
This means the woman before him is almost 2,000 years old!
"First, as you know, my people and I come from another realm. I want a place to settle in long-term, and I don't want to have conflict with the three empires when we rise. So, I decided to have a land of my own, but I also don't want to establish a fortune dynasty—I want you to do that for me," Hengsheng said.
Xia Zhenxia listened, but she did not seem convinced by his words. After all, who doesn't want to be an emperor? But he did not care and continued.
"Second, I don't like demonic cultivators for an obvious reason. Having them rule over such a huge piece of land on this continent annoys me…" Hengsheng observes the other side to see what she thinks about the demonic cultivators.
"So I will remove them from this continent," Hengsheng said in a calm tone, as if what he had just stated about becoming an enemy of the strongest faction in this realm was not a big deal.
"Lastly, I want your bloodline…" Hengsheng said.
Xia Zhenxue heard that Hengsheng wanted her bloodline, and she quickly covered her body with her hands as if she wanted to protect herself from his sight.
Hengsheng, seeing her reaction, twitched his eye, and his expression turned disgusted.
Hengsheng thought, 'This old woman could be my great-great-great… great-grandmother, and she dares to think dirty! She should have some shame!'
"Don't misunderstand, I did not want your bloodline that way," Hengsheng said.
"If you don't want my body, then what else could it be?!" Xia Zhenxue yelled. For the first time, she dared to raise her voice since entering this place. It seemed that the topic of her bloodline had already traumatized her.
Hengsheng shook his head and said, "You saw the demon beast cat earlier? She has the power to copy bloodlines of others… What I want from you is for you to cooperate with the cat and have her copy your bloodline. That's the deal."
Xia Zhenxue's eyes went wide. 'Copy bloodline?' This was an outrageous term for someone like her, who had studied the bloodlines closely before when she was young. She had never heard of anything like this.
'So it was true… this faction really did come from the higher realm!' she thought.
"Are you satisfied with the answer?" Hengsheng said.
Xia Zhenxue nodded. Even she did not fully believe what was shown before her, since the thing could be defrauded, but she thought if everything she saw here was true, then she had a good chance to accomplish her Xia Clan's long yearning for—
Which is reclaiming their ancestors' land from those wicked demonic cultivators.
Hengsheng waved his hand, and white energy gathered, forming a contract scroll before the woman.
"Sign it, then you will become an official member of our company," Hengsheng said.
Xia Zhenxue was reading through the contract.
There were many terms she could not understand, like in the "privilege section"—it said "1 day-Life Simulator time per month."
'What is that?' Xia Zhenxue thought.
Overall, nothing seemed more dangerous to her than being inside this place. She extended her Qi to the scroll as she signed it.
The scroll glowed in white light and disappeared into her chest.
Then—
Ding!
