At this moment, Pu Sheng had already covered the eyes of the Divine Abomination Cat, and his own eyes were closed, as his entire being was enveloped in the high-level authority of the Abyss.

Across this world, even a God cannot observe what the Abyss shields.

His prayers in his heart suddenly reached a new level when those things completely turned into illusions.

Pu Sheng felt a sense of bewilderment at first, followed by fury, and finally a fusion of the two states.

The general meaning was: "How dare you, stealing anyone’s sacrifice, huh?"

And at the moment when those souls completely turned into illusions, a ghastly pale human face followed the offerings and vanished across countless planes.

Pu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Han Buna, whose body inexplicably began to turn ashen, with a sense of relief in his eyes.

He didn’t say a word, grabbed Han Buna, and directly rushed into the sea, heading for the deepest trench.

Boom!

A wave of legendary-level energy suddenly rose from his body, and the offering from the Abyss abruptly elevated his strength once again, but he didn’t dare to look back, nor did he dare to look around; even his heartbeat was rapidly decreasing.

If I don’t run now, I won’t be able to run in a moment.

Boom!

The area they were just in was destroyed in an instant, with the terrifying Crimson Power raging madly, even though they had entered the deep sea area, the intense water pressure at this moment still directly turned the surrounding schools of fish into powder.

The weakly breathing Han Buna, whom he was dragging along, spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood and slowly closed her eyes.

Pu Sheng let out a sigh of relief, though somewhat helplessly.

Initially, he intended to use Han Buna’s soul as a medium.

But now it’s more or less the same as the initial goal; he didn’t break his word. Han Buna’s severance with the Lord of Scarlet was clean, but when the Lord of Scarlet descends...

The container might not be possible anymore; perhaps the Lord of Scarlet would be quite interested in a living puppet.

But this has little to do with Pu Sheng. Establishing significant merit with the Abyss and having the sin of provoking a Calamity Object removed, he even became a favorite of the Abyssal Consciousness, elevating his strength to the legendary level.

Although he paid with all of his large Soul Crystal Cores, this outcome was still quite satisfactory to him. Mainly it’s because of the Calamity Object; he has no confidence in withstanding its approach, which could be deadly.

Pu Sheng looked towards the deeper part of the deep sea, with a flicker in his eyes, thinking that Xia was in disaster now, so... perhaps the Sea Race should appear as well.

His energy frantically poured into Han Buna’s body.

With her, he continued heading towards the deeper ocean.

This teammate can’t die yet, after all... they had signed a contract...

-----------------

Dongwu City.

Baiyi looked up, a slight gleam in his eyes turning, as at this moment above Xia, two phantoms were drifting away, with divine power making the entire world feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Baiyi looking towards the place where the power descended just now....

The Lord of Scarlet?

So Pu Sheng finally couldn’t hold back, but how did he do it to make a God so angry?

Also, who was that other shadow just now?

Why does it look somewhat familiar?

The people around were also looking at the sky, either exclaiming or praying, making the streets of Dongwu City a bit chaotic for a while.

Baiyi didn’t interfere much; the Lord of Scarlet suffered backlash, so his threat to the Dawn isn’t as great now.

For the Dawn, this is a good thing. After all, there aren’t many ancient Gods at the Lord of Scarlet’s level, and one less threat is always better.

Baiyi looked at the side and calmly said: "I told you, don’t overdo it. We still belong to the Dawn Federation."

"Uh, the Federation didn’t say anything... my friend... uh... well, this won’t happen again...." Sabo’s figure gradually appeared from nothing, a bit helpless.

Because in his attempt to seize some ’unclaimed’ resources after the reform, Sabo gave up the idea of searching for the Space-Time Stone Plane, using a clone to develop the border’s four cities while his true self traveled throughout the entire Federation.

Until yesterday, over five hundred and seventy cities successfully merged into three hundred and fifty.

And the chaos after the reform finally settled, so Sabo truly returned to Dongwu City.

Now his clone has resumed the search for the Space-Time Stone Plane, while his true self is taking Baiyi to see the harvest this time.

Baiyi didn’t comment on it; does the Federation have no objections?

According to the information collected by Zero, the benefits brought by this reform, Dongwu City monopolizes one-fourth, and nearly thirty legislators account for three-fourths.

This is a massive number, far beyond the initial one-tenth that Sabo had set.

And the reason the Federation is silent is because of that war and the data Baiyi gave them half a month ago unconditionally.

From the Federation’s perspective, the foundation of Dongwu City has significantly increased again, now no longer something that can be discarded.

Madness·Bloom, legendary-level combat power, powerful army, developed economy, and those two powerful Federations are the reasons Dongwu City could calmly reform and develop.

This kind of deterrence naturally sheltered Sabo; no one would dare have a conflict with Dongwu City while they are promoting Baiyi and Diane of the Di Feng Family.

The two walked all the way to the finance department, which wasn’t far from the City Lord’s Mansion, and didn’t have a grand architecture.

Except Sabo didn’t know what method he used to open a stable underground space.

This space is different from a regular Treasure Vault; the original Vault has now become a place for miscellaneous things or just filled up.

Because the underground space that Sabo built is more than a hundred times larger than the surface space, the space has been displaced here, making the original two-hundred-meter diameter vault endless in the dim light.

Tap tap... tap tap...

With the sound of two footsteps, the surrounding dim lights suddenly brightened, and the light from the energy lamps illuminated some minerals, reflecting the glow of wealth.

Baiyi’s footsteps paused almost imperceptibly, the slight disapproval in his eyes disappeared, replaced by full contemplation.

Sabo seemed to sense the change in Baiyi’s emotions.

His somewhat troubled expression disappeared, replaced by that familiar smile: "I told you, you would love it, my friend. No one can resist its glow, not even a God."

In front, piles of precious minerals filled the field of vision.

Equipment, well-preserved plants, gemstones emitting deep blue light, and piles of gold coins.

All of this can only be described with two words: wealth!

This is true wealth. Contribution Points can only be used in the Federation, and gold coins are themselves magic materials, and these mineral resources are why Contribution Points can be equated with gold coins.

Baiyi walked calmly amidst the mountains of treasures, knowing well that the benefits of stabilizing the reform were enormous, but he didn’t expect them to be so massive.

"Let me introduce you; these are Soul Veins of the Wadiweilan Clan, who vehemently opposed Dongwu City’s reform. When they saw the Federation was unmoved, they attempted to pressure the Federation using their energy to sanction Dongwu City and were subsequently killed by Oganna."

"This Soul Vein is a large one with two large Soul Crystal Cores, thirteen medium Soul Crystal Cores, and one hundred thirty-two small ones, along with over seventy thousand large Soul Crystals and several fringe minerals."

"But don’t worry, my friend, for a family developed over a millennium, although soul veins are a foundation, they’re just one of many. Oganna will only acquire more."

"And here, this was a City Lord’s rebellion. After it was suppressed, we acquired a secret silver mine with over thirty tons of Mithril, also a large one."

"And this... and this... and this...."

"My friend, do you know what these can bring us?"

Sabo spoke more and more excitedly, explaining that these materials were enough to supply the entire Federation, yet they’re now all gathered in Dongwu City, vastly accelerating its development.

Money alone isn’t enough; an official institution’s resources must be exceedingly abundant for the Contribution Point system to stay stable.

If ever the Federation’s Contribution Points cannot purchase these materials, then monetary systems, military merit systems, and various problems will arise.

"I know, and I need to give something to make the Federation swallow the losses with a smile."

Baiyi rubbed his brow, somewhat troubled: "Those already in the Vault are fine. Sabo, we really need to mind our bottom line; this wealth is too overwhelming."

It’s not that he’s afraid, but gaining benefits also has its limits, and as the City Lord, Baiyi sometimes needs to consider more aspects.

Sabo, having long seen through Baiyi’s cautious mindset, nonchalantly said: "I know, I know, this won’t happen again. I believe Lord City Lord can handle those dirty politicians, right?"

"Hmm, this won’t happen again...."
