132: Chapter 132 The Connection Between the Middle Gods

The statements from the heads of each Family were all quite similar.

They acknowledged the other party's contributions, but they had to find a way to take responsibility for the wagers outside of the plan themselves. The Families and powers were only willing to cover the quotas for Divine Beings and demigods.

Inside a restaurant private room in the virtual world, over a dozen First-order Deity were currently throwing a tantrum, their faces full of irritation and anger.

"Over these years, even if I haven't achieved any merit for the Family, I have at least put in the hard work. If it weren't for the smooth execution of the plan, would I have agreed to that kid's wager?

Now that a problem has occurred, they just say this is a wager outside the plan and expect me to take responsibility for it myself? Do they even know this was just a plan?

That kid isn't my grandson, so how could he possibly obediently act according to my wishes? Now where am I supposed to find people to fill the gap of these five quotas!?"

"Who is to say otherwise? When problems arise, it's our execution that's wrong. If there hadn't been any problems this time, and we had gained benefits instead,

would they say this was a situation outside the plan and refuse the benefits?

When there are benefits, they pounce like mad dogs, but when they see the results aren't good, they immediately distance themselves, saying we didn't follow the plan? How can it be like this!

Even that Lin Xiao knows to help and rescue his Believer if they get accidentally injured! We have been so devoted to the Family, are we really not even worth as much as those Believer!?"

"Hmph, although I also don't wish to see that kid surnamed Lin rise, to be fair, that kid is truly willing to invest heavily when doing things.

I have observed the gods beside him; although they are subordinates, they do not seem overly cautious. Even the Divine Being from our clan who defected to him is full of joy.

There is not a hint of the dejection, despair, and terror one would expect after becoming a Slave God. Come to think of it, that kid is so generous even with members registered at the Temple.

He certainly wouldn't be stingy with resources for those Slave Gods who have signed contracts."

"Now is not the time to envy those juniors; we should think about how to fill the quotas. If the quotas aren't filled within three days, based on my understanding of the Clan Chief,

he certainly won't spend his own resources. When the time comes to compensate those selected Elder, he will definitely dig into the resources of my Divine Kingdom.

I imagine everyone's situation is about the same.

These resources are all things we have accumulated through centuries of desperate effort! If... if he really does that, don't blame me for defecting directly to that kid."

"Old Hu, these things shouldn't be said lightly! If this accidentally reaches the Clan Chief's ears..."

"I am not speaking lightly! Even if the Clan Chief knows, this is still my thought! Resources are a god's lifeline; if he dares to hollow out my resources,

then why must I hang myself on his tree!?"

Lin Xiao naturally didn't know that because of the god quota issue, the group of Elder and retainers who were previously extremely hostile toward him in the audience had already experienced subtle changes in their hearts.

Outside the Commission Temple, it was still a bustling scene with heavy traffic. The people queuing had changed from demigods and gods to those who hadn't undergone Awakening and ordinary Divine Beings.

Lin Xiao did not interfere much with the scalping behavior of these people.

Time flew by, and three days passed. During these three days, apart from attending classes in the online classroom for Class 1 every day, Lin Xiao spent all his remaining time on the cultivation of his Believer.

He had been thinking about the [spirit opening spring] he had seen earlier at the Qingxu Market; although this thing was also a wonder,

its effects were decent, and the price was surprisingly cheap. A single spirit spring only cost 100,000 divine power points, and even with the premium, 150,000 divine power points were enough.

Seeing this, he directly took out his daily income of 1.6 billion divine power points and bought all of it in spirit springs.

A full 10,000 spirit springs; this wasn't because Lin Xiao had too many resources to spend, but because it related to the growth characteristics of his wonder.

After complex Fusion and growth, the 10,000 spirit springs eventually turned into a small lake. It could produce enough for 200,000 Believer every day.

This was a full doubling of the previous output!

And after the Believer underwent Body Tempering in the spirit lake, their Cultivate speed immediately improved significantly. Even Believer with extremely poor bones,

after the Body Tempering in the spirit lake, their Cultivate speed was not slower than that of Believer with good talent. They directly transformed from trash into one-in-a-million little Genius!

However, this wasn't what made Lin Xiao the happiest. What made him happiest over these three days was that news finally came from Meng Ning.

In the Xuanxu Star Region, an Intermediate God meeting his requirements had been found!

Just as the Intermediate God who had extorted a large sum from Lin Xiao had said, the friction at the border of the Xuanxu Star Region was currently escalating rapidly.

Some time ago, a large-scale conflict involving Intermediate God had erupted above the Void Realm of the Xuanxu Star Region.

Over fifty Intermediate God from both the Human Race and alien races had participated in the battle!

The specific outcome hadn't been uncovered, but it was learned that several Intermediate God commanders from the Human Race side had begun to keep a low profile since that time.

According to the person who provided the news, it was estimated that these commanders were likely injured. As for whether that was true, or to what extent they were injured, it was unknown.

Although the news was vague and the specific situation was unknown, this was enough to make Lin Xiao excited. After hearing the news, he felt the same way as the other party.

As the friction at the border continued to escalate, at this time, the commanders who were Intermediate God should appear in the public eye more often to stabilize the morale of the people.

Such a low-profile demeanor easily led people to have bad suspicions. Unless they were planning to set a trap for the alien races and were therefore deliberately feigning weakness.

But if that were really the case, there would obviously be no need to make a big show of transferring personnel from the interior.

Summarizing this, Lin Xiao felt that the probability of these commanders being injured was extremely high! As Intermediate God, it was even possible for their subordinates to see the injuries on their bodies.

This clearly wouldn't be a minor injury; it must have been a severe blow, to the point where they couldn't even conceal it.

Today was supposed to be the day to receive the wagers from those Families and powers: 50 Divine Beings, 50 alien demigods, and 50 First-order Deity with ugly expressions.

Although these people had lost to Lin Xiao, as mentioned before, they needed to be released after graduation from university, so strictly speaking, these people were only equivalent to Lin Xiao's employees.

Not counting the Divine Beings and demigods, for these 50 First-order Deity, Lin Xiao, as the master of the Commission Temple, should at least show his face.

However, the Family Elder and power retainers who came to hand them over waited for quite a while. The reply Meng Ning gave was always that one sentence.

"Our Master is busy with important matters right now; if you are busy, you may return first."

Arrogant, looking down on people!

At this moment, the faces of all the Family Elder and power retainers who had come all turned extremely ugly.

But they couldn't vent their anger. As the Commission Temple continued to settle resources for demigods and gods without stopping,

the original mockery had already disappeared. Whether online or meeting in private, no one dared to show disrespect when mentioning Lin Xiao.

They were taking real benefits, and they could take them every day. No one would dare to slander Lin Xiao and the Commission Temple just for the sake of a quick tongue.

Everyone only hoped that the Commission Temple would stay open as long as possible! It would be best if it never closed. Now, if they heard anyone cursing the Commission Temple,

they wouldn't even need Lin Xiao to speak; they would immediately be attacked by the crowd.

A large number of gods were forced to have entanglements with Lin Xiao because of the Commission Temple, even within their Families.

The Elder with real power in charge and the Clan Chief had also explicitly told everyone.

In the future, when outside, try not to speak ill of Lin Xiao and the Temple. Unless necessary, do not provoke Lin Xiao.

Before having complete certainty and being able to perfectly clear all suspicion, the current attitude of each Family was: try not to provoke the other party.

It was precisely because of these various reasons that the group of Elder and retainers, even after being given the cold shoulder, had to sit here and wait honestly.

Of course, it was also possible that it was because the Second-order Elder Yang was sitting on the side with a smiling face.

Lin Xiao no longer had the heart to care about the things outside. He was currently establishing a connection with an Intermediate God.

[You skulking rat, going to such great lengths to contact me. You wouldn't happen to be from an alien race, would you!?]
