Chapter 702: Suspicion

This small thousand world called 'Radwen Exchange' no longer had land, sea, or sky inside. It was like a large building built underground, filled with countless structures and roads leading in all directions.

The space, spanning seven thousand kilometers from north to south and east to west, was mostly occupied by intricate arrays of runes. The rest was divided into over twenty layers, each filled with various shops, auction houses, and trading centers.

They all occupied vast areas; even the smallest shop exceeded a thousand mu. Yet even so, the total number of shops here exceeded one million.

"It is said that the 'Mother of Stars' Radwen earns two million soul gold coins annually from this exchange alone."

Zhuanxu's words carried little envy: "So this deity is also regarded as a god of wealth by many planes. Her army and pantheon are very powerful; she once confronted the Terra Empire head-on and also fought directly against the four Chaos Gods."

Li Mochen was speechless. Due to inflation, one soul gold coin currently exchanged for one hundred million golden shields in the Bright World.

And the total cost of a battleship was only thirty billion golden shields. The annual income of the Church of Fate plus the Rising Sun Group was only one trillion nine hundred billion golden shields.

That meant this 'Mother of Stars' earned over a thousand times more than him annually?

Of course, if you added the magical materials they harvested in the Dark World and the continents of Antolia—whose value couldn't be measured in golden shields—the gap wasn't that huge.

It was worth mentioning that after plundering the wealth of the Aesir Pantheon, Li Mochen currently had only seven million nine hundred thousand soul gold coins in hand.

In the myriad realms, a pseudo-truth-level mythical armament was worth between one billion and fifty billion soul gold coins. The price fluctuated so wildly because of differences in the artifact's abilities and practicality.

In other words, the 'Mother of Stars' Radwen could exchange a pseudo-truth-level mythical armament by collecting taxes here for just fifty years.

"It can't be that exaggerated. Maintaining this exchange costs Radwen a lot. She not only needs a huge army but also has to support a powerful pantheon. Currently, under Radwen's command, there are six god-king-level beings and thirty deputy god-kings, all of whom need to be paid. Especially since Radwen's own divine authority isn't particularly strong, many covet her position."

"For you, it's nothing much. Junior brother, as the Lord of Time and Fate, you wield the most supreme divine authority in this world. Once you become a supreme god, your strength will be infinitely close to the creation level, or even be regarded as creation level directly. All the myriad realms, including Radwen, will need to pay tribute to you, seeking your protection and security guarantees. And if you want to amass wealth, robbery is the fastest method—just like Belek, the Gluttony King, was so powerful yet died at your hands without even a chance to escape. There are few in this world who can oppose you, and even fewer who can escape from your grasp."

Li Mochen knew the latter part was the key point. Mastering time and fate, if an enemy lost to him, it was indeed difficult for them to escape.

"Senior brother, are you mocking me?"

"How could it be mockery? I'm serious. In the myriad realms, power is ultimately paramount, and junior brother, you indeed have the capital for plundering. The key is that your power is not restricted in other realms. So even if, due to your divinity, you cannot act entirely as you please, you can still take whatever you want from the forces of the Chaos Gods."

At this moment, Zhuanxu had changed into an ordinary robe and was leading Li Mochen through the various shops on the top floor of the exchange.

Most shops in the 'Radwen Exchange' were of no benefit to Li Mochen, so Zhuanxu directly brought him to the highest level of this plane.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the twenty-plus floors below, this floor was exceptionally quiet. There were only seventeen merchants, and no one was around, making it feel extremely empty.

This was because those qualified, wealthy, and interested enough to enter here were basically at the deputy god-king and god-king levels. In the myriad realms, divine rank 19 beings were not everywhere. Within the surrounding one million star-distances, among millions of large and small thousand worlds, the number would not exceed seven hundred—including all god-kings and pseudo-god-kings from the Bright World.

And these seven hundred divine rank 19 beings were not idle enough to come here shopping and sightseeing every day.

However, the scenery here was very beautiful. Large gardens, simulated wind, clouds, and sun filled the place with a natural atmosphere.

Moreover, among the seventeen stores here, fifteen were 'agencies'. They did not directly sell those top-tier artifacts and mythical armaments but mostly connected powerful beings from surrounding worlds, allowing them to exchange what they had for what they needed.

Because of this, most goods were only displayed as images and pictures in each agency. The quantity was considerable; the displays inside each major agency looked dazzling, but a large portion overlapped. Li Mochen even saw some specialties from the Bright World and several famous mythical armaments. Zeus's 'Aegis Shield' and Gaia's 'Chaos War Banner' were among them, both priced very high. The 'Aegis Shield' was worth over thirty billion, or could be exchanged for mythical armaments related to time and space.

The staff of these agencies were all extremely respectful and attentive to the two. Any customer who could set foot here was indeed worthy of their admiration and even flattery.

Zhuanxu continued chatting with Li Mochen: "Junior brother, if you're embarrassed to do business without capital, you could also consider opening a few shops here. The Bright World and the Dark World are superimposed, and either one ranks among the top five within this million star-distances, being the most顶级 large thousand worlds. The various resources and mythical armaments produced there are the dreams of other worlds. With your current status in the Bright World, you could easily monopolize the trade."

"Also, you could open an agency on this floor. The rent here is very expensive, accounting for at least twenty percent of the 'Mother of Stars'' total income. But I guarantee you won't lose money. You should know the routine of selling luxury goods: no business for ten thousand years, but one deal feeds you for ten thousand years. Any item here is worth a fortune."

"Senior brother, you seem very familiar with this place?"

"Of course I am. The four worlds under my direct control are all within the influence of the 'Radwen Exchange', so I naturally have to deal with the Mother of Stars frequently."

At this point, Li Mochen's face showed disappointment. He had found nothing here; not a single item had caught his interest even slightly.

However, three intermediary merchants had offered him a sky-high price of twelve billion soul gold coins for the 'Scythe of Gluttony' he had taken from the Gluttony King, or a trade for a mythical armament of equivalent value.

Zhuanxu thought it was a loss and advised him to consider carefully. Li Mochen agreed deeply; this blood scythe was, after all, a mythical armament with four types of combat-related truth divine authorities—how could it be ordinary?

If it weren't for the power of Khorne inside, which would require a great cost to cleanse, Li Mochen believed this artifact's value would be at least over seventy billion.

However, these three offers stirred an uncontrollable killing intent in Li Mochen. He wished he could have Zhuanxu take him to find the god-kings under the Chaos Gods right now and see if he could make some profit. This business without capital was indeed the supreme way to get rich, provided you could actually rob and not be punished afterward.

"Is that all?"

After walking out of the last agency, 'Kanmen Intermediary', Li Mochen frowned: "Senior brother, you know what I want."

"Time, fate, eternity, or star and thunder-fire source matter. And now you also want an artifact to suppress the mind, preferably one that can also suppress plague."

Zhuanxu sighed: "You won't find them here. We can only hope for the auction to be held here in a month. Radwen's annual auction is somewhat famous, but compared to the 'Myriad Realms Trade Fair', it's several grades inferior. Whether we can encounter a pseudo-truth-level mythical armament depends on luck, let alone what you want. Anyway, let's give it a try."

He took Li Mochen to the auction house and, familiar with the place, found the manager—a commerce god of divine rank 16—and obtained the auction list.

But when Li Mochen browsed through all the items on the list, his brows remained tightly furrowed.

He hadn't come away empty-handed. Li Mochen saw a very substantial star source matter on the list, and also an Eastern spiritual treasure called 'Ancient Dust Mountain Seal'.

The former would be enough to fully upgrade his 'All-Heaven Thunder-Fire Star Core Sword Formation' to pseudo-truth level, while the latter was not only the mind-suppressing artifact he wanted but also had a certain suppressive effect on all plagues and toxins. Additionally, it possessed 'truth'-level suppression.

Its rank was also very high; it was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which in Western terms was pseudo-truth level. This was a divine treasure highly similar to the 'Heaven-Overturning Seal'. In the world where it originated, 'Ancient Dust Mountain' was once the highest spiritual mountain in that world.

But instead, Li Mochen grew suspicious. He thought, was his luck really this good? The 'Radwen Exchange', though top-notch within the surrounding million star-distances, was insignificant in the myriad realms.

Yet he happened to find an extremely rare star source matter here, and then, as if by wish fulfillment, obtained a powerful artifact capable of resisting the powers of Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle?

"Are you worried about Tzeentch? Suspecting this might be His scheme?"

Zhuanxu understood Li Mochen's thoughts perfectly: "I'm worried too. It's too coincidental. But because it's so coincidental, I can't help but feel侥幸. Tzeentch's schemes shouldn't be this obvious. This is the terrifying aspect of His power and reputation: He can make you lose control, involuntarily suspicious, and in severe cases, drive you mad."

Li Mochen summoned the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Tower', but after thinking for a moment, he didn't consume merit to perform divination using the 'All-Heaven Divine Mechanism Mysterious Pivot Lock Star Secret Art'.

Tzeentch's power should be above his. Whether the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Tower' could escape Tzeentch's influence was still unknown.

If this Chaos God deceived the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Tower', it would leave a huge隐患 for the future.

Zhuanxu smiled bitterly: "So I advise you to wait for the Myriad Realms Trade Fair three years later. With that creation-level being presiding, it will be hard for Tzeentch to scheme against you. Junior brother, the situation may not be as bad as you think."

Li Mochen shook his head slightly. If he could wait three years, he wouldn't have rushed here. His enemies wouldn't allow him to calmly accumulate strength.

After pondering for a while, Li Mochen made a decision: "Then let's do both. I want both this star source matter and the 'Ancient Dust Mountain Seal'. Also, does senior brother have any reliable information channels? I want to know why the sellers of these two items chose to auction them at the 'Radwen Exchange'. And I want to know if there are any artifacts similar to the 'Ancient Dust Mountain Seal' in the vicinity."

"Do both? Artifacts similar to the 'Ancient Dust Mountain Seal'?" Zhuanxu was first puzzled, then laughed heartily: "I understand your intention, junior brother. I guarantee the intelligence source is reliable and won't give that Chaos Lord any opportunity, nor affect your divinity."

He knew this junior brother had taken a mind to kill and seize wealth.

"Also, senior brother, please lend me twenty billion soul gold coins."

Li Mochen waved his hand and sent the blood-colored scythe called 'Scythe of Gluttony' into Zhuanxu's hand: "Use this as collateral! If senior brother is interested, you can take it for thirty-five billion soul gold coins."

It would be a pity to sell it here. There were too few suitable buyers here to get a good price.

"Agreed!"

Zhuanxu nodded slightly and put the blood scythe into his sleeve: "As for buying it, forget it. Junior brother, you can sell it yourself at the Myriad Realms Trade Fair. But this item is worth at least forty billion. Within that limit, you can use as much as you need. There's still a month until the auction; more items will likely be added to the list. Maybe there will be something else that suits your taste."

In fact, even without collateral, the financial resources he controlled were enough for Li Mochen to take whatever he wanted.

The invasion of Chaos into the Bright World had loosened many of his restraints; he no longer had to be as cautious and restrained as a few years ago.

※※※※

Shortly after they visited the auction house, another deity surrounded by divine light arrived.

According to Zhuanxu's introduction, this was the manager of the exchange, a god-king with a divine rank as high as twenty, the right-hand of the 'Mother of Stars' Radwen.

The purpose of his visit was precisely to invite the two to be guests in Radwen's divine domain.

Li Mochen was not surprised at all. They had been wandering on the top floor of the exchange for so long; the 'Mother of Stars' couldn't have remained undisturbed.

What surprised him was that this powerful god-king, named Lamur, was also familiar with his name and treated him with great respect.

"The Mother of Stars has always been paying attention to the surrounding Chaos forces. Although the Bright World is over one million star-distances away, for some reason, Her Majesty has always kept a close watch on it. So we are also familiar with your reputation, Lord of Fate."

God-King Lamur smiled friendly, his words full of respect: "Your experiences are truly legendary! Your fame for successively defeating Slaanesh and Khorne will soon spread throughout the realms."

Li Mochen felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing this. Since his divine rank entered 19, he had sensed the peering of powerful beings from the myriad realms. This feeling of being secretly watched was unpleasant, but for now, he could do nothing about it.

"Her Majesty the Mother of Stars also admires you greatly and has always wanted to meet you."

After saying this, God-King Lamur carefully chose his words and spoke very cautiously: "Her Majesty is willing to provide you with some力所能及 help in exchange for your friendship. She has always been looking forward to a reliable ally to help us jointly resist the erosion of Chaos and contain the expansion of Terra."

Li Mochen and Zhuanxu exchanged glances, thinking this was an unexpected delight.

Because of Slaanesh and Khorne, he had also sought help from many realms within the surrounding ten thousand star-distances. But so far, apart from the Hindu pantheon, which had invested some power in the Bright World due to its direct involvement, there had been no response from others.

This Mother of Stars was the first pantheon lord willing to offer assistance to the Bright World.

Li Mochen was naturally interested in meeting her, but before that, he had a very urgent matter to attend to.

After meeting Lamur, he held the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Tower' in his hand.

"I wish for help in finding all divine objects here that are beneficial to me and of good quality at a low price."

The 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Tower' shone brightly, and Li Mochen immediately felt a response.

His gaze sharpened, looking toward a certain direction on the lower floors of the auction house. This time, the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Tower' consumed forty-three billion three hundred million merit points but only designated three items for him.

Among them, the one that consumed the most came from the seventh floor of the 'Radwen Exchange', accounting for forty-five percent of the forty-three billion three hundred million merit points.

The True Martial Emperor beside him was dumbfounded. He thought, could the wishing tower be used like this?

※※※※

Customers entering and leaving the seventh floor of the 'Radwen Exchange' were generally between magic profession level 16 and legendary level.

Of course, the cultivation systems in the myriad realms were diverse; even the 'Xiantian' in the Eastern cultivation world had many names, so these titles were not necessarily fixed.

The shop Li Mochen found with the help of the 'Divine Sky Luck Purple Gold Tower' was called 'Kadir Artifact Trading House', belonging to a medium-sized pantheon thirteen thousand star-distances away. The pantheon's name was Kadir, and its lord was a main god of divine rank 18.

However, after browsing all the exhibition halls of this shop, Li Mochen found nothing that moved him, nor did he sense any response.

"Guests, which artifact have you taken a liking to?"

The sales manager here, a legendary mage, said: "The price is negotiable. If nothing catches your eye, we can also take custom orders. As everyone knows, our Kadir pantheon excels in forging and alchemy; we can even take orders for artifacts above divine rank sixteen. Our prices are the fairest in this star sector, guaranteed to satisfy you both."

Li Mochen and Zhuan Xu had both surpassed the three realms of microscopic control—'Microscopic, Panoramic, Mustard Seed'—and entered the realm of 'Observing the Obscure.' Their auras had returned to simplicity. Neither deliberately revealed their cultivation level, both dressed in very ordinary attire. Yet this legendary mage, from their bearing and the faint traces of Dao rhythm they exuded, knew they were extraordinary. Thus, he spoke respectfully and vigorously promoted to them.

"This exhibition hall houses the highest achievements of our Kadir pantheon. Look at this piece—it's a masterpiece of our God of Alchemy. Made from very ordinary materials, yet it gathers one hundred and seventy-seven magic seals, with power equivalent to a divine rank eight artifact—"

Li Mochen, however, did not even glance at the shield-shaped artifact in the manager's hand. He was concentrating divine power into his eyes, looking toward the back of the shop.

As Li Mochen's physical divine rank increased, his 'Titan's Eye' and 'True Dragon Vision' had both reached extremely powerful levels. Coupled with the pseudo-truth 'Insight' and truth-level 'Perception' he had deliberately strengthened earlier, his perceptive abilities were now monstrous.

Although the magical prohibitions of this Kadir Artifact Trading House were very tightly arranged, they were utterly powerless to resist his power.

In just a moment, a hint of joy surfaced in Li Mochen's heart.

"Take me to your warehouse, Warehouse No. 7."

He had already found that artifact. If it weren't for saving face for 'Mother of Stars' Radwen, he would have barged in directly.

The legendary mage glanced at them in surprise. After a brief hesitation, he obediently led the two into the inner warehouse of the shop—he instinctively felt that these two guests were not to be offended by him or his pantheon, and Li Mochen's command contained an irresistible force that made him unconsciously want to comply.

"Is this the thing?"

After entering Warehouse No. 7, Zhuan Xu also sensed something and looked toward an object in the corner of the warehouse.

It was a pair of glove-shaped artifacts, dull in luster, with slightly broken edges. Zhuan Xu knew that divine objects conceal themselves, and its origin must be extraordinary. From the faint Dao rhythm he sensed, this was most likely a pseudo-truth-level mythical armament.

It had some damage, but not to its foundation. It could be fully repaired at little cost, and Li Mochen himself had such ability.

What the hell! Just by making a wish, he could acquire a divine artifact.

This Wish Tower was truly enviable. With this thing in hand, why bother doing business? Using it to pick up bargains would fill one's coffers to overflowing.

"It's this!"

Li Mochen's face also showed joy, undisguised: "I want this. Name your price?"

His joy was not only due to the mythical armament's pseudo-truth rank but also because of the several divine powers he sensed from within, which were very suitable for him. They would greatly enhance his combat strength and even help resolve his current predicament.

Li Mochen thought that his 'Blessed Golden Immortal' level merit and luck had finally taken effect.

The legendary mage hesitated, then after reading their expressions, said uncertainly: "Seven thousand soul gold coins, and you can take it away."

He thought he was asking an exorbitant price, bordering on extortion. But the guest in white Daoist robe simply tossed a spatial pouch over and asked: "Inside is one hundred thousand. I want to know, where did you get this thing?"

The legendary mage was astonished. When Zhuan Xu paid generously and added another hundred thousand, he knew he had made a bad deal. He wondered what was so special about this item that these two guests, whose depths he couldn't fathom, valued it so highly.

He instinctively wanted to back out, but under their half-smiling gazes, he abandoned the idea and told the truth: "I don't know either. We also run a pawnshop at the 'Radwen Exchange.' Two hundred and twenty years ago, someone pawned it for thirty soul gold coins and never redeemed it. It expired twenty years ago, but we've never been able to sell it."

"From thirty to one hundred thousand, you've made a huge profit."

Li Mochen chuckled and casually put the gloves into his sleeve.

He had also made an outrageous profit from this deal, but there was nothing to be ashamed of. With the abilities of the Kadir pantheon, they wouldn't discover the artifact's divine nature for hundreds or thousands of years. Without him, this artifact would likely continue to drift until it found a master fated to own it.

After acquiring this item, the two left without lingering and went to the fourteenth floor of the 'Radwen Exchange.'

Li Mochen really wanted to know the origin of the gloves, but he knew the legendary mage truly didn't know, and he couldn't get any valuable clues from him.

Besides, he wasn't without means. After returning, he could use the residual traces on the artifact to deduce with the 'Zhou Tian Divine Mechanism Xuan Lock Star Secret Method.'

The second item Li Mochen obtained on the fourteenth floor was a clay jar that no one could open. This item consumed merit second only to the gloves, accounting for thirty-seven percent of the forty-three billion three hundred million merit. He also spent twenty-seven million soul gold coins to acquire it.

This clay jar had passed through many hands; even main gods and pseudo-god-kings couldn't open it. Everyone knew it was extraordinary, so the price was much higher.

But when Li Mochen opened it, he was momentarily stunned.

"Dragon Qi?"

Zhuan Xu was surprised, then realized: "It should be a so-called 'Dragon Nurturing Jar,' capable of extracting dragon vein Qi and nurturing it within. The three strands of dragon Qi in this jar can each produce a true dragon emperor of a great world. The maker was ambitious, likely wanting to cultivate a technique related to dragon Qi, but failed. This jar and the dragon Qi are worth at least three billion gold shields, but to you, its value is especially immense."

Li Mochen treasured it like a treasure, knowing its use to him was second only to the gloves.

After all, the power of the 'Divine Sky Spiritual Fortune Purple Gold Tower' largely depended on his own luck and influence.

So long ago, Li Mochen had arranged a huge feng shui array at his mortal residence, the Sward Estate, with the 'Ten Thousand Year Seal' as the core to nurture 'Dragon Qi.'

Since then, Li Mochen had never neglected this 'Dragon Nurturing Array,' continuously strengthening it and greatly improving the material of the 'Ten Thousand Year Seal.'

Yet even so, Li Mochen had not managed to nurture a strand of dragon Qi comparable to those in the 'Dragon Nurturing Jar.'

If he could absorb them, on one hand, it would consolidate his own and his pantheon's foundation and luck; on the other, it would strengthen the power of the 'Divine Sky Spiritual Fortune Purple Gold Tower,' further repairing this divine artifact.

Besides, if used well, it could guard against the erosion of the Destiny Pantheon by the Chaos Gods.

Dragon Qi is sensitive and can help him predict good and bad fortune. With these three true dragon destinies in hand, no matter what the four Chaos Gods plan to do to the gods of the Destiny Pantheon, it would be hard to completely hide it from him.

Zhuan Xu thought of another matter: "I remember Uncle Master Fuxi once refined a jade bi intended to gather dragon Qi, but it wasn't used and remains a blank. However, its material and array are truly extraordinary. I'll see if I can get it for you, but it will take some time."

Li Mochen thanked him immediately. He knew that Fuxi had created the Eight Trigrams, embodying all forms of phenomena, and in terms of arrays, besides their founder, no one in the Jie Sect surpassed him. He was currently the vice sect leader of the Jie Sect.

Li Mochen had other ideas for the three strands of dragon Qi in the jar, but Fuxi's jade bi might be a better choice.

For the position of God Above Gods, Li Mochen didn't mind owing favors.

The third artifact also delighted Li Mochen. It was a fist-sized pearl, said to be the divine power core left by a divine rank twenty 'Dream Tapir.'

The dream tapir is one of the Eastern divine beasts. They feed on dreams, devouring dreams and hopes, especially nightmares, and can reproduce the dreams they have devoured.

Li Mochen didn't know if the pearl was related to the 'Dream Tapir,' but he sensed an extremely powerful dream force and a lingering, unbroken divine thought residue.

In terms of material, it was indeed a pseudo-truth-level mythical material, capable of generating truth-level 'Dream' and 'Illusion.'

The value of this item was not at all inferior to the dragon Qi and the gloves, yet Li Mochen spent the least merit on it, only 7.8 billion strands.

This was probably related to the pearl's price. It was on the twenty-second floor of the 'Radwen Exchange,' clearly priced at 1.7 billion soul gold coins, and the seller was the material shop directly under 'Mother of Stars' Radwen.

Other than her, no one would dare to sell pseudo-truth-level magical materials in this exchange.

This wasn't due to distrust in Radwen's reputation, but because the 'Mother of Stars' herself might not be strong enough to guarantee their safety.

Auctions were an exception; every year when auctions were held, Radwen hired powerful Gods Above Gods to help her maintain order.

This transaction also alerted God-King Lamur once again, who came in person to negotiate the price with them.

After all, it involved a huge transaction of 1.7 billion soul gold coins. Except for occasional auctions featuring pseudo-truth artifacts, the 'Radwen Exchange' might not see such a deal in ten thousand years.

This 'Dream Tapir Pearl' was a very precious deification material, but so far, no one had been able to subdue and purify the residual within the pearl, nor could anyone confidently refine it into a mythical armament while preserving the truth-level 'Dream' and truth 'Illusion.'

Thus, it had been sitting with them for over three hundred years, unsold, ignored at over three hundred auctions. Now that it could be sold to Li Mochen, God-King Lamur was very pleased, even though the final transaction amount was far below the true value of the 'Dream Tapir Pearl.'

After the transaction for this material was completed, Li Mochen followed the god-king to the divine domain of 'Mother of Stars' Radwen.

'Mother of Stars' Radwen lived up to her name; her main divine duty was the power of stars. However, this God Above God gave Li Mochen a feeling similar to Gaia—her aura and Dao rhythm were immensely thick and grand.

In fact, she had started as an earth mother goddess, later expanded into 'Stars,' and changed her main divine duty by a stroke of luck.

According to Zhuan Xu, she had obtained an extremely powerful truth-level star artifact during her travels through the starry sky. Not changing her main divine duty at that point would have been foolish.

She had greatly benefited from this, not only successfully reaching divine rank twenty-one but also currently attempting to touch the creative-level law force.

Radwen's attitude toward Li Mochen was indeed, as God-King Lamur said, friendly and respectful, even with a hint of admiration. She was also sincere.

After they chatted for a while, the slightly plump 'Mother of Stars' got straight to the point: "I've also been paying attention to the Sea of Sin in your dark world. I know that the outcome there may concern the survival of all worlds. I've been anxious for centuries. But I am not of this domain, and having lost my physical body early on, I can only exist as a law god. So even now, I am powerless to intervene. Fortunately, with your rise, the situation in the light world has changed dramatically, giving me a way to contribute. Your Majesty Wiltonstein, a hundred years ago, I dispatched two large army groups to the Feral World. It's not far from the light world and can be placed under your command—"

"Your Majesty!" The speaker sat to the left of 'Mother of Stars' Radwen, an extremely beautiful goddess, but her eyes were full of anxiety and unease, clearly disapproving of her god's decision.

But Radwen smiled nonchalantly: "When the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold, my daughter. Whether the Four Chaos Gods or the Tyran Empire obtains what's in the dark Sea of Sin, it will be a catastrophe for us. We are too close to the light world. They are indeed powerful, but if we sit idly by now, we will eventually face extinction."

She looked sincerely at Li Mochen: "I will give you full authority, and please don't treat them simply as pawns or expendables; they are my important subordinates. Besides—"

She also handed a glass bottle to Li Mochen: "This is some star source matter I collected, a small contribution to you."

Li Mochen was flattered and felt an instinctive surge of ecstasy.

But then suspicion arose, and he began to doubt, wondering if Radwen had ulterior motives or if she herself was part of the Chaos Gods' scheme.

Li Mochen thought that Tzeentch was really not a good thing, indeed capable of driving people mad. Clearly, 'Mother of Stars' Radwen was offering him benevolent help, yet he suspected her of plotting against him.
