Chapter 879: Chapter 821: Plotting Against Atabia Again

The Fist Universe No. 01 has now drastically cut down its matter to just 0.5%, barely able to protect itself, and has begun self-sealing.

It’s fair to say that, at this Realm, it’s tough to kill each other.

Just like the Light Ancient God, and this mastermind universe in front of us, these monsters hide within the era, temporarily retiring, while ready to venture out at any time to contest the world.

But the money that can’t be secured, they send it over to tarnish my name?

Sending it into my pocket, and still wish to give it back? Divide the spoils?

Not a chance!

Nokron expressed: if your conduct is upright, shadow won’t touch you.

That fake Nokron from Universe No. 01 isn’t me personally, so why spit out the money to evenly divide it, to prove one’s innocence?

"I, Nokron, am inherently pure and innocent." Nokron snorted coldly, "Someone is impersonating me over there, sending money to smear me."

Atabia rushed over: "..."

He was dumbfounded.

Looking at this upright figure, Atabia was at a loss for words.

As a unique Saint capable of traversing any Multi-dimensional Universe without restrictions, he is the messenger for other Saints, the link for their conversations.

He is now, at the invitation of two other Saints, here to negotiate with senior Nokron.

They are all fighting together, forcing opponents to cede territory and pay indemnities, this money, has to be shared, right?

But this one is extraordinarily stubborn now.

Once in his pocket, he obviously doesn’t want to let go.

"Precisely because I know I’m not the mastermind of that universe, that’s why I want to keep it all." Nokron said indifferently, "Dividing it with the opponent is akin to aiding the enemy."

"That mastermind universe is obviously unable to hold on; its defeat is as sure as the collapse of a mountain. He’s trying to recoup some losses through this way, giving me funds to smear my name, and then forcing me to compromise and divide among the Saints, thus shifting the loss onto him. How can I let him have his way?"

Nokron snorted coldly, indicating he wouldn’t suffer this loss.

Atabia was silent for a while.

The fact is, without giving the money back, he really couldn’t do anything.

After all, he is just an Ancient God of Time with no actual combat power, certainly not capable of defeating this one.

He felt it was really tough for him, as a prophet, whether it’s Saints or basic Heroes planning a revolt, the first thought was to eliminate the prophet first, notably taking the hardest hits.

And also having to traverse different universes, acting as a messenger, coordinating various departments, constantly working on human relations, his head was about to explode.

Seeing Atabia’s distress, Li Qing decided to ease up:

"Of course, while I won’t give it away, I can use it as public funds, to aid in splitting the next Parallel Universe."

He’s not going to be so blatant and ugly about it; outwardly he has to appear exemplary and upright.

"What do you mean?" Atabia’s expression softened slightly.

"This is Gonggong’s funds; I won’t hog it all, but use it for developing the Parallel Universe." Li Qing said, "You are now traversing future, still afraid of being attacked, getting your 3% matter plundered, right?"

"Why not let these funds be used for traversing the future, through my node, journeying five thousand years ahead in my universe."

Atabia listened, pondering over it.

This indeed seems like a good idea, splitting them might aid the enemy.

Using this universe as the starting point, continuing five thousand years forward traversal, from his point of view, doesn’t seem like a significant problem either.

This universe is now under Nokron’s rule, as the strongest Martial force currently, traversing the future in his universe, within his managed regions, the possibility of getting ambushed is very low.

As for benefits?

Even if Nokron provides funds for his traversal, Nokron would still make gains, foreseeing the future of his own universe, and it’s not like the money stays with him forever, it won’t be held against him.

And he benefits too.

Currently, there are only five Parallel Universes, can at most stack five of his ’self,’ traversing multiple Parallel Universes allows stacking several of Minis.

What he lacks is the number of traversals.

"Sounds good." Atabia considered it a win-win situation, as long as he and Nokron benefit, the other two really wouldn’t mind.

Moreover, the other two Saints are not without their own gains.

Traversing several universes, exploring future knowledge and conveying the predictions to them, they find it satisfying, gaining knowledge of a corner of the future, they also can make some small gains.

"Sounds good, I’ll go back and discuss with those two, try to convince them." Atabia left, feeling satisfied. "Public funds are the best solution, they shouldn’t oppose it."

After sending Atabia off, Li Qing nodded silently.

Perhaps Atabia thinks he made a small gain, but he himself will never actually lose.

"Previously, splitting four universes, consecutively obtaining the heritage of one’s self from five thousand years ahead, yet still not enough."

His mind murmured, "This time, continuing to traverse the future, hoping to obtain more future heritage."

Honestly, he feels somewhat stuck at a bottleneck.

Because he’s familiar with matter and life, during the first Fist Universe No.01 traversal of five thousand years, he successfully fused, presenting the Spiritual Essence blueprint.

But afterward?

During the four consecutive traversals of Universe 02-05, four future selves, he has yet to fuse the Space + Time blueprint!

It can only be said that his accomplishments in these two aspects are really lacking, given his limited energy, having always specialized in life and matter.

He feels it might take another one or two times to achieve the preliminary emergence of a Space-Time blueprint.

Planning mentally:

"Get Atabia to help a few more rounds, bring forth the initial Space-Time and Spiritual Essence, then find two protagonists, to undergo final breakthrough amidst life and death, and for recovery afterward." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This path he was quite familiar with.

Delivering Life blueprint to the Star Lord for last breakthrough was just like that.

As for the Emperor and Elis’s universe next door?

Sorry, leaving them aside for now, not including them in the game.

Firstly working with Atabia for a future venture, secure technology first.

Before half a month of brief negotiation, Atabia returned, "The talks succeeded, I can go ahead and prepare for traversing now."

"Then stay as my guest for a while."

Li Qing nodded, "I’ll plan the five-thousand-year progress and future strategies for my universe, then you traverse five thousand years forward and observe the planned future outcomes."

Atabia stayed as a guest.

Sylvie and Sylph were not there to entertain him in this universe because both went off to other universes, adventuring, merging with other selves.

This has become almost routine among all powerful figures of the new era, each starting to venture into the Multi-dimensional great age of navigation to increase potential!

Of course, others face danger, but his two maids are quite safe, other Saints of different universes must give face, won’t harm them.

The only uncertain factor is the Fist Universe No.01, but since it’s self-sealed, the two women won’t venture risking their lives to explore and merge with another self there.

Soon, Atabia started his traversal again.

With a swoosh, he plunged into the Long River of Time, drifting along straight to five thousand years hence.
