When the messenger relayed the decision of the four female imperatores, the entirety of Skyplunder Capital seemed to freeze up. Almost every cosmic god from Nullity was stiff and unmoving, with only their eyes wobbling in disbelief.

"Holy crap..." Mu Lang struggled to look up and ask his sister beside him, "Did... did I hear that right? They really agreed to the b-b-bet?"

"Since when did you have a stammer?" Mu Qingqing said, biting her lip in displeasure. She was still struggling to make sense of what had happened.

"It's unbelievable..." Mu Lang snapped out of it and immediately plunged into deep worry and anxiety. "It's over... The Adjudicator has chosen the Ruinless Zone intentionally to curb us... Did Imperator Skyplunder make a wrong move?"

He wasn't the only one. Many other cosmic gods shared his worries. Discomfort spread throughout everyone in Skyplunder Capital. They looked at their imperator and hoped that he would say something to calm their minds.

Yet, Imperator Skyplunder himself seemed just as stunned to hear the news. "Are you sure they heard right? All four of them will have to become my son's concubines and are obligated to birth him one child at least."

The messenger said with a stern look, "Imperator Skyplunder, that is correct. We have repeatedly stated your terms to them, and after careful deliberation, they are willing to respect the Adjudicator's wishes to preserve universal peace."

"Ugh..." Li Muyang furrowed his brows and looked at Wei Jing.

She just seemed as stunned, being unable to speak for a long while. "They actually agreed? The four of them are the proudest goddesses in the Realm of Chaos!"

The four imperatores had helped Yueling Starcage rise to their highest peak, each one of them legends in their own right. Everyone saw Li Muyang and Wei Jing's reaction and finally realized that their imperator might have played a hand he couldn't afford. To think that the four female imperatores would abandon their reputation and agree to this sort of bet. With Li Muyang's terms agreed to, it was already out of his control. The entire capital began to panic.

"To think that the father would screw up the imperial son..."

"It's over! He's done for!"

Nobody under a hundred thousand years old had a chance of winning.

"Wait a second!" Li Muyang took a deep breath and saluted the Adjudicator. "Adjudicator, I am not going back on my word, but I would like to add some amendments to the terms as a guarantee so that the four imperatores would not go back on this bet."

"Shut up! If you don't want to bet, say it! Stop posturing, Li Muyang!" Yueling Xiao said with a smirk. "You were the one who brought up the terms, and the Adjudicator asked my four daughters for their opinions! By our rules, once a bet has been agreed upon, there is no turning back! If you regret it now, you would be causing the Adjudicator a huge offense and make an enemy out of the entire Realm of Chaos!"

The cosmic gods of Nullity began to panic even more, starting to sigh at the helplessness of it all. Back at the Dongshen Arena, Tianming had brought up an identical demand which Yueling Zhao didn't dare to accept. Who knew that the four imperatores themselves would agree to it?

Li Muyang's expression was grim. He said with resignation, "Brother Yueling, don't be hasty. I am only trying to flesh out the details. The bet will go as agreed."

"Let's hear them, then," Yueling Xiao said.

Li Muyang was in a weaker position than he had anticipated. "How about this? If our side really wins, we want the four imperatores to be wedded to our son in a grand ceremony on the Inverse Battlefield within the next ten years. Due to the unique gap in power between them, I wish for them to ensure my son's absolute safety during their time as his concubines. After their marriage, they have to agree to every demand of my son no matter the gap in their power. If they use force to disobey him, that's the same as blatantly disobeying the spirit of the Adjudicator's word."

Yueling Xiao laughed uncontrollably and shook his head. "You must be panicking to be thinking so far ahead. Are you merely putting up a front to calm your subjects?"

Li Muyang couldn't say another word, which only fueled Yueling Xiao's confidence. "Very well. As their father, I agree on their behalf! Basically, you want the marriage to happen within a set timeframe in the event of your victory, and that my girls will truly serve him as his wives, right? We will do just that."

"Very well." Li Muyang nodded.

"If you lose, on the other hand, we will expect you to fulfill our three demands within a month!" Yueling Xiao added, sealing off the final avenue Li Muyang could use to stall for time. Li Muyang didn't dispute it, prompting many tragic sighs from the people.

"Adjudicator!" Yueling Xiao looked at the red sphere with respect.

The red sphere had been silent the whole time. "Very well. With everyone here bearing witness, the terms of the bet have been formalized, with me as the guarantor of outcomes. I will be responsible for ensuring that the terms are adhered to. The entire Realm of Chaos will be watching this closely! Both sides may begin their preparations. Within a month, the fighters must enter the Ruinless Zone. The fight will last as long as needed for one side to emerge completely victorious."

Things were sealed in stone. As the Heavenly Dao didn't exist in the Realm of Chaos, bets like these were upheld by the mysterious Adjudicator, making him quite the big shot. As things settled down, Yueling Xiao left in a good mood along with his thousand smirking primocosmic gods. Imperator Jian gave Li Muyang a look; knowing what Nullity had at its disposal, he could already foresee the outcome of this bet.

"Calling back our troops and releasing the hostages isn't much at all, especially with how we've already avenged ourselves. It truly is a shame with the young imperial son... If Imperator Skyplunder hadn't proposed the bet and went with the Adjudicator's first suggestion, he wouldn't have had to lose his son..."
