Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 669 - 621: The Battle Begins!

God King Wucan’s proposal brought a surge of joy to City Lord Nie’s heart.

"This old fellow, so he’s had this in mind."

"A bet? Whoever wins just takes the other’s treasure directly? That’s clever, with a trade he would have to give up a ’Purple Sunflower’ to exchange for my ’Heavenly Bell Herb’, but with the bet, if he wins, he gets the ’Heavenly Bell Herb’ without having to pay anything."

"He must have figured out that I invited Niece Wan, a strong fighter, and he’s likely to bet with me. He thinks his remaining two martial artists can beat the two on my side, but he has absolutely no idea that, besides Niece Wan, I have another trump card, that is Ye Chen!"

City Lord Nie had seen the match between Ye Chen and Lin Xiaowan, and even he, a lower-ranked God King, was not sure if he could defeat Ye Chen.

Of course, City Lord Nie knew that even if God King Wucan brought a powerful true god as his aid, it was almost impossible for him to win against Ye Chen. Discover more content at novelbuddy

"Bet."

"Indeed, we can bet! This old fellow wants to win my ’Heavenly Bell Herb’ for nothing, I’ll make him lose his wife and his troops, and directly lose the ’Purple Sunflower’ to me!"

In an instant, City Lord Nie had made up his mind.

However, City Lord Nie kept a poker face, deliberately turning his gaze to the three true gods behind God King Wucan as if he were struggling with a difficult decision.

Seeing that City Lord Nie did not outright refuse, God King Wucan was delighted, and he said to City Lord Nie with a smile, "Nie, my dear brother, a bet has risks for everyone, I’m also taking a big risk here, if I lose, my three ’Purple Sunflowers’ will be given to you for nothing, you do realize these ’Purple Sunflowers’ are not easy to find..."

God King Wucan was still urging City Lord Nie.

City Lord Nie found it amusing internally, but he did not relent, "Old fellow, by the looks of it, you’re quite confident in winning against me, I can’t fall into your trap. Those three Nine-Tribulations true gods you’re putting forth for battle, did you invite some powerful helpers from someplace?"

In fact, Lin Xiaowan had already informed City Lord Nie through a secret voice transmission about the strength and origins of the three Nine-Tribulations true gods behind God King Wucan, and City Lord Nie was equally clear about it.

Hearing City Lord Nie’s somewhat reluctant tone, God King Wucan’s eyes shifted, and he laughed, "Nie, my dear brother, these three Nine-Tribulations true god friends of mine are indeed strong, but brother, have you not invited a helper from the Supreme Divine Institute yourself? With another Nine-Tribulations true god on your side, and this young man who can fight as a Four-Tribulations true god, I may not necessarily be stronger than you."

"If you’re unwilling, I can take the ’Purple Sunflower’ and exchange it with other city lords."

"Hold on, let me think about it some more!" City Lord Nie pretended to be somewhat reluctant to part with the Purple Sunflower and insecure about winning the bet, furrowing his brows and pondering for several moments before finally saying to God King Wucan, "Old fellow, I’m willing to accept your bet, but even if I lose, you don’t have to give me all three Purple Sunflowers, you must still provide me with one Purple Sunflower as a base guarantee. Otherwise, I’m risking giving you the ’Wind Chime Grass’, which I am not willing to do."

"This is my final condition, if you agree, I’ll bet with you, if you don’t, then forget it."

City Lord Nie appeared to have finally made up his mind.

After considering, God King Wucan’s eyes twirled, and then he burst into laughter, agreeing, "Alright, Nie, my dear brother, your ’Wind Chime Grass’ is indeed a bit more precious than my ’Purple Sunflower’, so I’ll agree to your condition. If I win, you’ll give me the ’Wind Chime Grass’, and I’ll additionally give you a ’Purple Sunflower’. If I lose, I’ll directly give you all three ’Purple Sunflowers’. How about that, brother, I truly want to have this bet with you!"

Observing God King Wucan’s serious demeanor, City Lord Nie knew this old fox must be rejoicing inside.

"Hehe, old fellow, you’ve fooled me a few times, this time, I’ll make you bleed!" City Lord Nie was internally laughing without stop.

The two god kings, each with their own schemes, finally struck hands and agreed upon the bet.

Ye Chen and Lin Xiaowan watched the verbal sparring between God King Wucan and City Lord Nie, exchanged glances, and started whispering and laughing to each other.

They both, of course, had seen through the intentions of both god kings.

However, Ye Chen and Lin Xiaowan were indifferent to the bet itself, what concerned them were the places to enter the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

As for the extra treasures that City Lord Nie could win, they were pleased to see it happen.

After City Lord Nie and God King Wucan settled the bet, they exchanged a few words and then each sat cross-legged on their respective empty stone platforms, waiting for the battle for the Divine City to begin.

Before long, the city lords of the remaining smaller divine cities who had not yet arrived also hurried into the valley with their three chosen combatants.

All eighteen representatives of the small divine cities set to partake in the battle for the Divine City finally arrived.

And when the appointed time for the Divine City battle officially arrived, a wave of motion occurred in the void, and a man in green clad clothes with a sword on his back directly appeared in the middle of the void.

When they saw the green-clothed middle-aged man, the city lords from the eighteen Void Stone Platforms all stood up with their respective true gods who were slated for battle.

City Lord Nie also turned to Lin Xiaowan, Ye Chen, and Zhao Luo, and said, "This sword-carrying, green-clothed middle-aged man is the Upper God King appointed by the Southern Territory King Mansion to oversee the Divine City battle between our eighteen smaller divine cities. He is a famous powerhouse from another Star Continent not far from our own, known as ’Lanling God King’."

As City Lord Nie introduced the identity of the sword-carrying, green-clothed middle-aged man, many city lords also directly greeted the man in the void with a fist salute, saying aloud, "Lord Lanling, long time no see!"

The Lanling God King didn’t say much. He smiled and nodded toward the eighteen divine city lords below, then his gaze moved across the fifty-four true gods representing the eighteen smaller divine cities, scrutinizing each one.

When the Lanling God King saw Lin Xiaowan, the three Nine Tribulations true gods from the Tai Lin Divine Institute behind God King Wucan, as well as several hidden yet powerful martial artists within the crowd, he smiled slightly, thinking to himself, "Unexpectedly, this Divine City battle of the eighteen smaller divine cities has attracted some skilled fighters."

Seeing the arena full of Eight Tribulations and Nine Tribulations true gods, yet including Ye Chen, a Four Tribulations true god, the Lanling God King showed a slightly puzzled expression, "Is there really a Four Tribulations true god participating in the Divine City battle? It seems this Four Tribulations true god must also have something special, probably another genius capable of crossing levels in combat."

Immediately afterward, his gaze shifted away from Ye Chen and looked toward the others.

He wasn’t concerned about what specific techniques Ye Chen possessed. As an Upper God King, he had seen many with lower realms but strong combat capabilities. Only through real battle could one’s true strength be revealed. He suspected that Ye Chen must also be a minor genius with combat power around the level of a Nine Tribulations true god.

After observing everyone in the field, Lanling God King no longer hesitated. He addressed everyone, "I am here by the decree of the Southern Territory King Mansion to preside over your eighteen smaller divine cities’ Divine City battle."

"The ultimate victor among your eighteen smaller divine cities will earn ten spots to go to the Nine Suns Ancient Land."

"As for how the ultimate victor will be decided, it will be the same as previous Divine City battles. Each of the eighteen divine cities will face off against each other once, for a total of seventeen rounds of combat. The divine city with the most victories will be the ultimate winner."

"If there is a tie in the number of victories at the end, and it involves two divine cities, then the outcome of the battle between these two cities will determine who is stronger. If multiple cities have the same number of victories, the battles will continue until the final victor is decided."

"However, based on past experience, the likelihood of a tie is basically nonexistent. It’s very likely that the final victor among your eighteen divine cities will be decided very quickly."

"Alright, now all city lords, come draw the lots for your first-round opponents!"

As soon as Lanling God King finished speaking, City Lord Nie, God King Wucan, and the other city lords of the eighteen smaller divine cities flew up to Lanling God King’s side to draw their opponents.

When City Lord Nie flew back, he directly said to Ye Chen, Lin Xiaowan, and Zhao Luo, "Our first round opponent is ’Wind Dark God City’."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After each opponent was determined, the nine pairs of opponents from the eighteen smaller divine cities, the first pair to fight, went straight into the huge battle arena surrounded by the eighteen Void Stone Platforms.

The Circulation of Heaven Divine City that Ye Chen represented was set as the fifth pair to fight, which gave them a chance to observe the battles from above.

The first pair to fight, coincidentally, included the Mingji Divine City governed by God King Wucan.

Consequently, the three Nine Tribulations true gods from the Tai Lin Divine Institute representing Mingji Divine City achieved a clean and swift victory in two bouts, winning two out of three rounds, and secured the first win.

Seeing his true gods return victorious, God King Wucan, watching the battle from the void, was all smiles.

Having already made a bet with City Lord Nie and sworn an oath, at this moment he was not worried about others knowing the strength of his side, in case City Lord Nie might go back on his word.

When God King Wucan looked over at City Lord Nie while smiling, he noticed that City Lord Nie’s expression was utterly unchanged, as if he didn’t care in the slightest about Mingji Divine City’s victory.

"Keep pretending, Nie, but wait until Mingji Divine City sweeps all seventeen victories. Then you’ll recognize our strength," God King Wucan thought to himself.

City Lord Nie could guess what God King Wucan was thinking, but at the moment, he wasn’t concerned with God King Wucan’s thoughts anymore. He was simply waiting for the Circulation of Heaven Divine City’s battle to begin.

After four battles concluded, determining four victorious divine cities, the match between Circulation of Heaven Divine City and Wind Dark God City finally began.

Ye Chen, Lin Xiaowan, and Zhao Luo flew directly into the battle arena below, while the three true gods from Wind Dark God City also entered the battlefield.

The battle started quickly and ended just as swiftly.

Even without Ye Chen lifting a finger, Lin Xiaowan and Zhao Luo won the first two bouts, directly securing victory in this round of the contest.
