Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

These three have been trapped here, and the outcome of the battle in the Star Burial Mountains is considered a top secret by the Eastern Cliff Royal Family, which forbids it from being revealed. Therefore, the three Ancestral Demons are unaware of it.

"Although Xingluoyuan has some talent, it's probably not easy for him to contend with the First God."

"However, throughout the ages, anything is possible."

Whispers echoed from within the black tower, followed by a chilling, aged voice:

"The seven primordial races respected the three of us, which is why they asked us to take charge of this matter. But you want to bribe us and treat the three of us like commoners?"

Dongya Changlie did not answer, but said directly, "My clan also refined three hundred million blood offerings for the three seniors..."

The voice was sarcastic: "What's a mere three hundred million blood offerings?"

Dongya Changlie continued, "Three billion!"

That being shook its head: "Ridiculous..."

Dongya Changlie raised his eyes and shouted out another number: "Three hundred billion!"

Silence fell within the Black Tower: "..."

"Three hundred billion!"

Dongya Changlie blurted out an astronomical price in one breath!

Dongya and Xiaoxiao, who were standing beside him, were completely shocked...

The deaths of millions or tens of millions of people are nothing to the Dongya royal family; they could even accept the slaughter of billions of lives.

But three hundred billion...

Even though the Eternal True Realm is vast enough, with a population in the trillions just in the territory ruled by the Eastern Cliff Royal Family, three hundred billion... is still an astronomical figure.

To refine 300 billion blood food, it would probably require sacrificing trillions of lives, which would amount to about a quarter of the population of the Dongya royal family.

The price... is too high.

After a long silence, the aged voice from within the black tower finally became solemn:

"Youngster, do you know the consequences of deceiving us?!"

Dongya Changlie said calmly and solemnly, "Who doesn't know the fame of the three Ancestral Demons? Even if Dongya Changlie had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to mock the three of them. That would be playing with the future and destiny of my Dongya royal family!"

The entity within the black tower finally nodded: "Alright, junior, we agree to what you requested—"

Dongya Changlie took a deep breath and then bowed.

……

Not long after, Dongya Changlie left with Dongya Xiaoxiao.

"Father, is the price we're paying for this too high?"

Back in her clan, Dongya Xiaoxiao finally asked a question.

However, Dongya Changlie simply smiled.

"Xiaoxiao, let me ask you this: what is the meaning of all the people in this world, the endless population, to us? What purpose do they serve in living?"

Dongya Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Provide my clan with a massive amount of faith power and incense offerings."

Dongya Changlie nodded: "That's right, but the reason why our clan needs a huge amount of faith and incense is, in the end, because of our ancestor."

"The Eternal Kings need these things to suppress themselves; that's the key."

"But now, the nine Eternal Kings have reached a cooperation agreement with the Primordial World, using the benefits of the Eternal True Realm to exchange for the secret techniques of the seven races. Soon, the nine Eternal Kings will no longer need the faith of all living beings in this world."

"Moreover, our race can also obtain from the original races the method of using primordial matter to strengthen ourselves."

"In that case, what use are the countless living beings in this world to us?"

“They are our subjects only when they are useful; when they are useless, what are they? They are no different from flies and insects.”

"While they can still sell it now and exchange it for some profit, they should naturally sell it."

Dongya Changlie said, "You must remember that everything in this world is merely resources for our clan. Use it in the way that maximizes our benefits. Being too soft-hearted will only delay the future of our clan!"

His words were calm, yet the lives and deaths of billions of people were merely cold calculations expressed in his few words.

Even Dongya Xiaoxiao felt complicated, but after a long while, she nodded and said, "Xiaoxiao understands."

"With Hua Tianqingxue and the three great ancestral demons working together, we finally have a 50-60% chance of winning the Primordial Assembly..."
