Chapter 1040: A Crystal of World\'s Energy

The solar king asked, "And what of the world of black rain?"

"Zhang Lie shall claim it as his spoils."

The ice queen frowned. "He is no superior king. What right has he to deal with the world of black rain?"

The king of keys smirked. "It looks like someone disagrees with the king of chaos\' actions?"

The king of chaos sent another mental transmission. "Zhang Lie performed extremely well in the war, with significant merit from killing the death spirit king and the traitorous blood lord. As the most meritorious combatant of this war, he naturally has the right of the second-best spoils—let alone the fact that he was the one who killed the decaying king himself."

The king of keys remarked with surprise, "King of chaos, it wasn\'t your clone who took the lead? It looks as though you\'ve been skiving off."

The king of chaos: "A war of that magnitude is little more than a pleasant holiday outing."

For a war of mythical proportions, the largest ever in the third realm, to be nothing more than a holiday outing...

The other superior kings didn\'t dare refute the king of chaos\' words. In fact, they took the king of chaos\' proclamation for granted.

The war had been a big deal only from an outsider\'s perspective. The superior kings were quite certain that either the king of chaos or the king of keys would have been able to deal with the death spirit king themselves.

In that case, just what was the war for? Was it all a game?

The ice queen stated, "This man is no superior king. Despite his merit, what right does he have to join our meeting?"

The solar king added, "Since this is a meeting among superior kings, its participants should naturally be superior kings. Zhang Lie isn\'t a superior king!"

The king of chaos sent out another mental transmission. "I invited him over. Is there an objection?"

The ice queen and solar king, the main recipients of the transmission, clutched their heads in pain.

None of the kings objected after that.

Li Zongming tried to ease the tension. "Zhang Lie performed extremely well during the war, and he was one of the main fighters on our side. We\'ll be discussing how to divide the spoils from the war, so having one of the main fighters here will help us understand the details of the war better. Am I correct, king of chaos?"

The solar king questioned, "But didn\'t the king of chaos\' clone participate as well?"

The king of chaos sent another mental transmission. "I would be happy to send a lengthy, complex mental transmission to explain everything in full detail."

All the kings present paled and rubbed their temples.

The solar king hastily replied, "No, king of chaos, don\'t! You\'re absolutely right that having another person around can help us understand the circumstances of the war better."

"The king of chaos is truly wise. None of us had considered that problem," the ice queen replied. The solar king and ice queen, at this very moment, looked far more like the best of friends than the worst of enemies.

A human\'s face appeared within the black fog. The king of black fog commented, "The king of chaos is truly wise. For a superior king to relate the details of the war like a mere messenger would be tremendously impolite, and it makes sense for a person with lower status to do so instead."

With another mental transmission, the king of chaos corrected, "Zhang Lie is a distinguished veteran of war. Implying that he is of lower status is an insult."

The king of black fog dipped his head. "Apologies. I was mistaken."

The king of keys added, "Although the king of chaos\' clone didn\'t seriously participate in the war, he remains an extremely strong combatant. For Zhang Lie to be able to defeat him in merit is a mark of strength."

The king of chaos announced, "If there\'s nothing else, let\'s convene the meeting. King of keys, will you host?"

The king of keys, in loli form, crisply replied, "I hereby announce the start of the meeting convened among the superior kings. As everyone knows, the three thousand wars have recently been part of a war of tremendous scale. In the end, our alliance succeeded in defeating the death spirit king, an ambitious madman who sought to swallow up our realm."

The solar king sighed. "The death spirit king might have died, but we paid a heavy price to do so—and the three thousand worlds have all suffered."

The ice queen chuckled coldly. "I recall someone\'s commander even died on the battlefield, haha, haha!"

The solar king glowed with radiance. The flames that burned over his body flared, as though he were about to explode.

The king of keys raised a tiny fist. "Don\'t you make a fuss during this meeting, or I\'ll crush you!"

Zhang Lie found it very humorous that the king of keys was saying all this with the appearance and voice of a loli, but the solar king and ice queen evidently both took this pronouncement very seriously. If they could sweat, their sweat would have drowned half a small world.

The king of keys\' words were threatening indeed.

The king of keys continued, "The success of the war is due to all the hard work of those gathered here. Zhang Lie, present the spoils of war!"

Zhang Lie unveiled the cracked crystal he had recovered from the death spirit king\'s body.

The crystal glimmered with multicolored radiance, surrounded by concentrated world\'s energy. All the kings present, with the exception of the king of keys and the king of chaos, revealed identical expressions of greed.

The world\'s energy present in the crystal was precious not because of its quantity, but rather its quality.

All the superior kings present could sense that the world\'s energy within the crystal was beyond that of a superior world—or rather, the crystal itself was a treasure beyond that of a superior-grade world.

The king of keys explained, "This crystal of world\'s energy is the largest treasure of this war. As agreed upon, all superior kings can obtain a portion of this treasure, and the kings who made the greatest contribution—I, the Zongming king, and the king of chaos, can obtain another portion each."

The war merit that each king gained would be dependent on their subordinates.

"As laid out in our initial treatise, this crystal will be auctioned off among us all, and the profit from the auction split equally among each portion."

The solar king immediately raised a hand. "There\'s no need to discuss things any further, king of keys! We\'re familiar with the rules. I\'d like to offer three superior worlds\' worth of energy to purchase this treasure!"
