Chapter 1040: Chapter 1034: The Curtain Rises

“Handing over forty percent of the immortal resources is indeed too much; can we negotiate this further?” Olvia said, her voice firm yet displaying a hint of desperation.

Having already lost the Divine Tyrannosaurus as their stronghold, further loss of a substantial amount of immortal resources would likely end Olvia’s chance of ever reaching the ranks of the half-immortals in this lifetime—an outcome she couldn’t accept.

Thus, even though opposing David Jones’s decision could very well lead to death, Olvia still spoke against it.

At that moment, Poseidon also stood up.

When it came to his own interests, it didn’t matter to him that David Jones was merely the nominal leader of the six poles; even if Jones were the head of the Celestial Chosen Alliance, he would still raise the banner of rebellion.

“Immortal resources are extremely scarce, and if we hand over forty percent at once, it will be difficult for us to suppress the rebellion within our ranks,” Poseidon said tactfully.

To sever one’s path was to warrant punishment from both heaven and earth.

There were many factions within the Celestial Chosen Alliance, and although Poseidon was a leader in strength, agreeing to Jones’s second condition would likely lead to rebellion among his subordinate deity trainers.

Hearing this, Jones’s gaze turned to Deity Ott and his teacher, and he saw that both were shaking their heads slightly.

Clearly, handing over forty percent of the immortal resources touched the core interests of the various nations. Unless he was willing to conduct a large-scale purge in advance, there was a high probability that it would lead to resistance from these countries.

“Thirty percent, no less,” David Jones said with a frown. “If anyone wishes to oppose, I can personally ‘reason’ with them; I always prefer to convince others through virtue.”

On hearing these words, Poseidon and Olvia fell silent.

Thirty percent was the limit David Jones was willing to give, and it was also the limit they could accept.

As for convincing others through virtue as Jones mentioned, that was merely a saying.

The powerful on Sapphire Star always favored overwhelming others with force—what virtue!

“Understood, I will do my utmost to suppress the dissent within the Celestial Chosen Alliance,” Poseidon promised.

To allow the Heavy Water Lobster to advance to half-immortal status, he had already exhausted over a dozen immortal resources from the treasury of the Celestial Chosen Alliance.

The share of thirty percent was considerable, but he could reluctantly accept it.

Olvia shared the same sentiment.

Saying they would hand over thirty percent left a lot of room for manipulation.

If she managed her accounts well enough, she could completely maintain a portion of the deification resources.

“President Will, please take care of the specifics,” David Jones decided, opting to delegate the responsibility.

“No problem,”

President Will nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

As the fortunes of the Flowery Kingdom soared, not only would the four sacred beasts’ strengths surge, but he would also be able to use his position as the president of the federation to increase his chances of advancing to immortal.

As for the immortal resources hoarded by the countries, he wasn’t that concerned.

After all, once the quantity of immortal resources reached a certain point, any more would be just gilding the lily.

…

As time passed, the events of the Tianze Secret Realm gradually spread among the nations of the world.

During this period, every trainer spoke of David Jones, to such extent that he had replaced the top trainers of the nations and become, in the eyes of many, the undisputed number one trainer.

…

On Skypillar Island, within the Zitan Training Room,

Audrey Harvey successfully overcame the Legendary Thunder Tribulation, her eyes shining with joy.

She hadn’t expected to break through the barrier of level eight of Arcane Star and advance to legendary status without using the Agnis Eight-turns Golden Elixir.

It should be known that there were still seven years left until the Universe Eight-turns Golden Elixir was to be concocted.

This time, her advancement was merely to get a feel for the process of igniting the fifth Star Fire in advance. Even to avoid the risk of falling in rank due to a failed advancement, Audrey Harvey had deliberately ingested a Raksha Golden Elixir.

This was also the standard procedure for most Epic Beast Tamers when making their breakthrough.

After all, the Universe Eight-turns Golden Elixir was too precious, and in order to maximize its effects, Epic Beast Tamers did not mind taking a Raksha Golden Elixir for a certain-failure breakthrough to accumulate experience and prepare for the next attempt to break through the legendary barrier.

As for the price of falling in rank, not many Epic Beast Tamers cared about it; they simply had to spend some extra resources and time to cultivate anew.

Audrey had also made preparations for recultivation in advance, yet to her surprise, once she began, she directly broke through the legendary barrier.

“Triumph!”

As Audrey Harvey successfully advanced, her Contract Pet, the Goldfire Eagle, also underwent its final transformation through the feedback of the Beast Taming Contract and evolved into a Golden-winged Roc in the dazzling Light of Advancement.

“Depending on the strength of the Golden-winged Roc, even if I face a titled Deity, I can still hold my ground in a direct confrontation, and possibly even emerge victorious.”

Audrey Harvey murmured to herself, “Now my combat power should be comparable to David’s!”

It had only been a few years since she secluded herself for cultivation; even if he had immense talent, it was impossible for her junior brother to have stepped from an Epic Beast Tamer into a Legendary Beast Tamer in such a short time.

Of course, even if David had not made the breakthrough to legendary status, Audrey Harvey did not dare claim she could win against David, who possessed the power of a Deity; she only dared say their strengths were evenly matched.

But that was enough!

After all, David was a Beast Master’s Pride whom one might only encounter once in a thousand years. The fact that she could match her junior brother in strength was also a way to preserve some face as a senior sister.

With this in mind, Audrey got up, took out her mobile phone with the intent of sharing the good news of her successful breakthrough with her mentor.

However, as soon as she turned on her phone, an announcement from the Federation of Trainer Guild appeared right at the top of the screen.

“Could this be some major event?” Audrey frowned slightly.

Such high-level pop-up announcements rarely appeared. The last time one did it was because the Cosmos-rank Abyssal Dungeon had descended, and three powerful and unfathomable Calamity Mysterious Beasts had raided Sunbeam Province.

Without a moment to spare, Audrey immediately clicked on the announcement.

[Congratulations to Jones Heavenly Venerate for defeating the strongest from various nations in the Six Poles Great War and successfully claiming the honor of the world’s number one Beast Master!]

Audrey Harvey: “???”

What was going on!

She had been in seclusion for only a few years, and David had become the world’s number one Beast Master!

Could it be someone with the same name and surname?

Apart from junior brother David, there were no known powers in the Flowery Kingdom with the name David Jones.

Thinking of this, Audrey could not help but purse her lips.

Could it be that David had breached the legendary status earlier than she had?

To confirm this point, Audrey directly used a search engine to look up all information related to David.

“Breaking through to legendary status, becoming the Azure Dragon Envoy, warding off the Demon God, becoming the Nation-Protecting Divine King personally conferred by the Empress of the Wyvern Empire, appearing in the Holy Europe Alliance after slaying The Dragon of Destruction, defeating the legendary Fire Dragon God, participating in the Six Poles Great War and discovering traces of the Star-Devouring Beast, leading the powerhouses of various nations in executing the Immortal…”

As she continued reading, Audrey found the information more and more inconceivable, as if she were reading a mythical scripture.

She could barely comprehend the information she found at first, but repelling the Demon God and slaying the Fire Dragon God seemed far too exaggerated!

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Fire Dragon God and the Demon God were beings that stood at the pinnacle of the Sapphire Star; they were terrifying Immortals that not even the President Will of the Federation of Trainer Guild could handle, and yet they had all allegedly fallen to her junior brother.

“It is hard to believe that the junior brother I personally mentored would become the world’s number one Beast Master!” Audrey remarked with emotion.
