NOVPUBChapter 1303: Chapter 1022: Harvest and Reward Chapter 1303: Chapter 1022: Harvest and Reward Lin Yun motioned towards the spot where Tiger and Sheep had fallen, summoning two top-quality Godhoods and some of Tiger and Sheep’s spatial items into his hand.
“Stone God Clan’s Nantian Stone pays respects to Heaven God King and this fellow Daoist! Thank you both for your timely rescue!” Just then, Nantian Stone flew over to Lin Yun and Heaven God King, politely bowing as he spoke.
Though he was also of the upper divine realms, and now the chieftain of the Stone Clan, the current Stone Clan simply couldn’t compare to its past. Billions of years ago, when he had just broken through to the upper divine realms, his strength had been very ordinary. Heaven God King had long been famous, a formidable existence even among those in the upper divine realms. Even Nantian Stone’s current strength couldn’t measure up to Heaven God King of the past.
Due respect had to be given where it was due. Moreover, on this occasion, it was indeed Heaven God King and the other mighty beings who had saved him, for which he needed to show gratitude.
“Nantian Stone, billions of years have passed without seeing you, and to think you’ve now become the chieftain of the Stone Clan… Your former chieftain…” Heaven God King looked at Nantian Stone and said with a slight smile.
Nantian Stone, a great general of the Stone God Clan, was also once of the upper divine realms. Naturally, he recognized him.
“Our former chieftain fell two billion years ago, during the pursuit by the Acquired Divine Race…” Nantian Stone’s eyes dimmed as he spoke in a low voice.
Heaven God King fell silent.
Indeed, upon seeing Nantian Stone as the chieftain of the Stone Clan, he had guessed as much. However, he hadn’t expected that the Stone Clan’s former chieftain would not have perished in the great war billions of years ago but in the subsequent pursuit.
“Who was responsible?” Heaven God King asked after a moment.
“The Dragon of the Twelve Zodiac Beasts!” A hint of hatred flashed in Nantian Stone’s eyes as he responded sharply.
This time, he had been targeted by Tiger and Sheep of the Twelve Zodiac Beasts because he had attacked one of the divine realm resource spaces under their control. If he hadn’t encountered Heaven God King and Lin Yun, he might have followed in the footsteps of their former chieftain.
“That’s right, these divine realm cultivation resources were obtained from my attack on a divine realm resource space belonging to the Twelve Zodiac Beasts. It was for this reason that I was targeted by Tiger and Sheep. Now that I have been rescued by the two seniors, it’s a debt of gratitude I cannot repay. Therefore, I can no longer accept these resources. Please, seniors, take them…” At that moment, Nantian Stone, seemingly reminded of something, quickly took out a spatial item and handed it to Heaven God King and Lin Yun, continuing in earnest.
“Hmm?”
Lin Yun’s gaze lingered on the spatial item as a thread of Mental Strength probed inside.
Soon, a vast trove of divine realm cultivation resources entered the scope of his mental detection. Along with a massive amount of Chaos Power, there were some heaven-sent treasures with chaotic attributes, other energies that could replace the Chaos Power, and even some arrays.
All in all, these resources were almost more than Lin Yun had collected over the years, suggesting that Nantian Stone had indeed attacked a significant base.
Heaven God King, too, sensed the immensity of these resources, his eyes gleaming slightly. He knew very well how much Lin Yun had been in need of divine realm cultivation resources recently.
Heaven God King turned his head to look at Lin Yun.
Although what Nantian Stone had said made sense, if they hadn’t rescued him this time, he might have met his demise, let alone retained his possessions. However, their own gains from this intervention weren’t nonexistent either. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
The Twelve Zodiac Beasts of the Acquired Divine Race were worthy adversaries for them as well, and without Nantian Stone’s actions drawing them out, they wouldn’t have had the chance to slay Tiger and Sheep. As for Nantian Stone’s gains, he had risked much to obtain them. It seemed improper to accept them without offering something in return.
“According to the imperial dynasty’s method of distributing combat achievements, Heaven God King and I could take two-thirds of these resources. Let’s accept two-thirds then,” Lin Yun mused for a moment before saying.
While speaking, Lin Yun looked towards Nantian Stone.
Nantian Stone’s heart jolted. Heaven God King actually deferred to this young man? Moreover, the young man had referred to the combat achievement distribution method of the imperial dynasty, with which Nantian Stone, once a great general of the Stone God Clan and directly related to the Innate Divine Race dynasty, was naturally familiar. This indicated that the young man had thorough knowledge of the Innate Divine Race dynasty’s various rules and potentially had been an important figure within the Innate Divine Race in a past life, at the very least one of the top powers of the upper divine realms, if not of the Peak Divine Realm.
Names of fallen Peak Divine Realm powerhouses and top powers of the upper divine realms who belonged to the Innate Divine Race flashed through his mind as he analyzed which one this young man could have been in his previous life. However, due to the lack of information and the large number of possible candidates, he couldn’t confirm any one in particular.
“Senior, my pursuit of the Twelve Zodiac Beasts’ divine realm cultivation resource base was mainly to avenge our former chieftain. Now that the two seniors have slain Tiger and Sheep, it’s as if you’ve helped avenge half of our grudge, in addition to saving my life. It’s an immense favor within an immense favor. I truly cannot lay claim to the remaining resources,” Nantian Stone hurriedly said, gesturing with his hands.
“Let it be so,” Lin Yun said, making no further comment. He waved his hand, and a force of Divine Domain Power brushed against the spatial item in Nantian Stone’s hands. Two-thirds of the resources were collected by him.
Then, Lin Yun sent the spatial item back in front of Nantian Stone, signaling for him to take it back.
Throughout this process, Heaven God King remained silent, showing no signs of dissatisfaction or interference, and followed Lin Yun’s actions.
