427: Get Shennong Ding

“I am also yours…”

Salaman's emerald eyes rippled.

She understood the Emperor's double entendre.

For a deity, such words were an absolute blasphemy.

Unforgivable blasphemy!

In the Elf World.

Nature Goddess Salaman was a deity who wielded wildness and vitality, the common main god of elves and demi-humans.

With a thought, flowers bloomed; with another, leaves fell.

The deer's call was her song, the insects' hum her whisper.

Mountains, rivers, and the earth itself all prostrated beneath her divinity.

And now.

She was being blasphemed by a human.

At this moment.

Salaman clearly felt it.

Her Divinity was decreasing, her power was draining away.

Yet, she lacked the courage to be angry.

She didn't even dare to meet the blasphemer's gaze.

Even more terrifying was… Salaman found that her mindset had undergone a strange change.

Facing the Emperor's coercion, while she felt humiliation, she also experienced a hint of… comfort!?

“What is this feeling?”

Salaman was astonished in her heart.

She couldn't understand.

Why did she feel comfortable with Qin Yang's coercion?

She even somewhat anticipated Qin Yang scolding her a few more times.

Just then, Qin Yang looked over with cold eyes and said, “What are you spacing out for? Was what I said not clear enough?”

Ah!

The Goddess of Nature's Soul trembled.

Suddenly, she felt it.

It was still that feeling of comfort and peace!

At this moment, she understood.

This was the manifestation of conceptual principles aligning with each other.

The relationships between deities also varied in quality, determined by conceptual principles.

Wisdom originated from Nature and could transform into wild instinct.

And Harvest was built upon the cycle of Nature.

Therefore, Salaman got along well with the God of Wisdom and the Goddess of Harvest, becoming friends in the same faction.

Now, Qin Yang also gave Salaman the same feeling, which was clearly the conceptual principles at work.

“What are his conceptual principles?”

“Why do they make me feel peace and harmony?”

“And, the more he suppresses me, the more comfortable I feel?”

Salaman looked at Qin Yang, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She really wanted to say: Can you scold me again?

But she couldn't bring herself to say it; such a request sounded too perverted.

However, Salaman felt that her “perversion” had a reason.

Wild abandon was slaughter.

Rampant vitality was plunder.

These two forces existed alongside the conceptual principles of Nature.

Salaman had always been wary of these two forces, fearing they would awaken her Inner Divinity.

But Qin Yang's conceptual principles could effectively suppress the wild abandon and rampant vitality.

Salaman didn't know what the other party's conceptual principles were.

But she understood that being with Qin Yang allowed her to find peace.

Meanwhile, Qin Yang, who was beside her, had no idea of Salaman's extensive mental activity.

Seeing that the goddess remained silent, he assumed his demands were not being accepted.

They were both deities.

He was much gentler with Elebella and Akatosh than he was with her.

But this was also reasonable.

Akatosh and Elebella were angel investors.

The Goddess of Nature, however, was a mid-term joint venture, and she had a request for him; shouldn't she bring in more capital?

Thinking of this, Qin Yang grew a little impatient.

He said to Salaman, “I will ask you one more time, will you hand over everything, or will I take everything from you…”

“I agree!”

Before Qin Yang could finish speaking, Salaman looked up, presented the shennong cauldron before him, and eagerly said, “The Divine Artifact, the Snowy Northern Kingdom, the Elf Civilization, all can be given to you. Shall we… be friends?”

“Huh?”

This time, it was Qin Yang's turn to be astonished.

This person had just been wearing a look of shame, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Now, why was she eagerly trying to make friends?

Was there a trick?

Qin Yang frowned and glanced at Salaman, “Wouldn't it have been over if you had done this earlier?”

“I hope it's not too late now.”

Salaman looked at Qin Yang with pleading eyes, trying her best to convey sincerity.

The other party's 180-degree change in attitude left Qin Yang somewhat at a loss.

He simply accepted the shennong cauldron, thinking he should ask the Holy Consort later what kind of temperament this arch-rival of hers had.

Why did she get closer the more he suppressed her?

However, this didn't affect discussing serious matters.

Qin Yang pointed to the world map hanging in the back hall and said, “Let's start with the Snowy Northern Kingdom. I want to take the Snow Queen as my consort, and through this marriage alliance, take control of the entire Northern Kingdom.”

“Understood.”

Salaman nodded without hesitation.

Qin Yang took a deep breath, feeling that things were going too smoothly.

He asked, “The opposing forces in the Northern Kingdom probably won't agree so easily, will they?”

Salaman pondered for a moment and said, “They will agree. Yekaterina has great influence in the Snowy Northern Kingdom, and she has also developed some followers of the Nature religion. I will manifest at your Ascension Ceremony to support you.”

“That's excellent.”

Qin Yang nodded in surprise.

The Goddess of Nature's active attitude made him a little uncomfortable.

After confirming the plan to take the Snowy Northern Kingdom.

Then it was time to discuss the relationships between the deity factions.

But Qin Yang wanted to stop there for now.

He still didn't know the reason for Salaman's sudden eagerness and didn't want to delve deeper rashly.

“You may withdraw for now. I will summon you again if I have something.”

“Yes, I await your summons.”

Salaman placed her right hand on her chest and bowed solemnly to Qin Yang.

Finally, she added a phrase in Elvish: “Aaye.”

…After the “Snow Queen” exited the back hall.

Qin Yang sat back on the dragon bed, looking puzzled.

He had thought today would involve a fierce war of words.

He had even prepared to demonstrate several cross-dimensional strike skills.

For example, “Offensive and Defensive Reversal,” which could mark the enemy's main base, and “Majesty Suspended in the Sky,” which could exert cross-dimensional deterrence.

In short, Qin Yang now had too many means of cross-dimensional attack.

He could not only threaten otherworldly civilizations but also directly threaten deities.

He always had a card up his sleeve that could subdue the Goddess of Nature.

Yet, as soon as he played a measly three, the opponent surrendered immediately.

This was completely unacceptable to the suspicious Qin Yang.

“When the Holy Consort comes in later, I'll ask her. The minds of deities are not so easy to guess.”

Thinking of this.

Qin Yang opened his inventory and summoned the Divine Artifact he had just acquired.

The shennong cauldron had an ancient and heavy appearance, with mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, insects, fish, and ancient runes carved on its body;

Those runes constantly changed and combined, arranging into endless knowledge.

It seemed to record all the alchemy knowledge of the Myriad Worlds upon it.

【Item】: shennong cauldron.

【Quality】: Colorful (Unique).

【Introduction】: One of the ten divine weapons, forged by Shennong, one of the Three Sovereigns. The cauldron accumulates countless remnants of Spirit Medicine and can refine all Medicinal Pills and poisons in the Myriad Worlds.

“Refine all Medicinal Pills?”

“For example?”

As an emperor, he naturally had some interest in Medicinal Pills.

Qin Yang, filled with anticipation, activated the shennong cauldron.

【Ninth-grade Medicinal Pills】: Spirit Gathering Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Strength Pill… 【Eighth-grade Medicinal Pills】: Blood Qi Pill, Foundation Building Pill, Yang Enhancing Pill… 【Seventh-grade Medicinal Pills】: Youth Preserving Pill, Soul Returning Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill… The list was too long.

Qin Yang merely glanced at the Medicinal Pills near the top, and his eyes widened.

Eighth-grade Medicinal Pills like the Blood Qi Pill and Foundation Building Pill could permanently increase basic attributes!

Moreover, the increase was far greater than that of the attribute fruits in this world!
