The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"That's not enough! This isn't even enough for my Vermilion Bird Clan to take risks." Vermilion Bird shook its head. Suddenly, it thought of Wei Chen: "The Rat King is so generous, giving away hundreds of top-grade innate spiritual materials without hesitation."

As she pondered, Suzaku's beautiful eyes suddenly blazed with fury, and she hardened her heart: "After this is over, I will definitely torture the Rat King until he reveals his true form and let him know the price of riding my Suzaku."

"Fellow Daoist, this is the fate of my Star Clan! Fellow Daoist dominates the South and has abundant resources, why do you still make things difficult for me?" The Holy Mother of the Northern Star looked distressed, hoping to move the Vermilion Bird.

"The Star Clan encompasses the entire prehistoric world, with incredibly abundant resources. How can the South compare?" Zhuque remained unmoved and said, "Besides, the South is not Zhuque's domain either. There are many top forces sharing it. Cultivation resources have always been scarce."

Wang Shu, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She already had a bad impression of Zhuque, and now he was so greedy that he actually wanted to shake the foundation of the Star Clan.

He immediately said coldly, "You may leave! My Star Clan has no need for you."

Both Zhuque and Beichen Shengmu were taken aback and turned to look at Wangshu.

"Sister, calm down. If the Vermilion Bird Clan joins us, we can reduce the casualties among our clansmen," the Holy Mother of the North Star transmitted to Wang Shu.

"Sister, have you forgotten Fellow Daoist Wei Chen? With his great formation assisting us, we don't need her help." Wang Shu frowned and transmitted her voice.

"Fellow Daoist Weichen's peerless ferocious formation can indeed play a role, but it is far from enough in the face of trillions of ferocious beasts," said the Holy Mother of Beichen helplessly.

"What if we also go to help?" Wang Shu asked.

"Little sister, although you are very intelligent, you lack experience. There are many things that are not as simple as you imagine."

The Holy Mother of the North Star explained, "If we go, do you think the ferocious beast will still enter the formation?"

Wang Shu remained silent, sighed, took out all her belongings, and handed a bead to Zhu Que.

Zhuque didn't stand on ceremony. He took the bead, used his divine power to probe it, and his expression immediately turned to wild joy.

The Holy Mother of the North Star twitched at the corner of her mouth and transmitted her voice, "My silly sister, how could you reveal your secret first?"

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Wang Shu to be so wealthy. The Star Clan truly lives up to its reputation!" Zhu Que beamed with joy, just as she was about to take Wang Shu's fortune into her possession.

Caught off guard by the Vermilion Bird, the Holy Mother of the North Star snatched the pearl, saying, "This matter should be borne by the entire Star Clan, not just you. Moreover, you are the embodiment of the supreme and noble Taiyin Star. Although you belong to the Star Clan, you are not a member of the Star Clan. How can you be made to bear this responsibility?"

Wang Shu's identity is somewhat awkward, because neither the Taiyin Star nor the Taiyang Star belongs to the Star Clan. Their destinies are not connected. The Taiyin and Taiyang Stars are supreme and noble, having transcended the realm of stars and belonging to the highest level of existence.

Therefore, Wangshu is a manifestation of the Taiyin star, but does not belong to the Star Clan.

Suzaku's expression was one of anger and resentment. "That damned Rat King! He's forgotten his ally now that he has a woman."

Although she didn't know Wang Shu's background, she could tell from their brief interaction that Wang Shu was a simple novice who couldn't possibly possess such a large number of resources.

Zhuque knew without even thinking that these resources were all provided by Weichen.

The Holy Mother of the North Star returned the pearl to Wang Shu, and after a moment's thought, she understood.

The Holy Mother of Beichen is so shrewd; Wangshu could not possibly have such abundant resources, so all of this must have been given to her by someone else.

With just a little thought, the answer will emerge.

No wonder Wei Chen came to help out of nowhere, even risking his life; it turns out it was all because of Wang Shu.

“I agree to the conditions you just mentioned. But you must give me the resources inside the bead,” Suzaku said. Her heart burned with excitement; the resources inside were simply too many.

"No!" Saint Mother Beichen refused. She would rather give up 20% of the resources than give up the resources inside the bead.

If they actually did that, they would be at a huge loss.

The resources inside are even more than those of the current Star Clan, enough to be equivalent to the income of ten Star Clan Yuanhui!

There are also more than thirty top-grade innate spiritual materials, a vat of the Three Pure Ones Divine Water, and a Blood Marrow Law Crystal that is 200,000 miles long.

The Holy Mother of the North Star would rather give up all her resources than exchange them with the Vermilion Bird.

Zhuque's face darkened, his bright eyes darted around, and he said, "I have brought three hundred billion clansmen this time, two of whom are comparable to supreme experts, five million Great Luo Golden Immortals, thirty thousand Great Luo Perfection cultivators, and the rest are all Taiyi Golden Immortals at the Perfection stage."

"If you agree to my conditions, then this matter is settled!" Suzaku declared his power, hoping to gain more benefits in the process.

"You must give me the resources inside, or I'll leave immediately." Suzaku was trying to take advantage of the situation.

The Holy Mother of the North Star was overjoyed to hear that Zhuque had brought her people. But when she heard about Zhuque's forceful seizures, her heart was filled with sorrow!

"The resources inside are secondary; the treasures... are simply immeasurable, especially that Blood Marrow Law Crystal. All of this combined is enough to exchange for everything within two hundred Yuanhui of my Star Clan."

The beautiful, flawless face of the Holy Mother of the North Star was filled with sorrow and bitterness. "Isn't your request, fellow Daoist, going too far? Besides, these all belong to Sister Wang Shu; how can you attribute them to my Star Clan?"

"It's not excessive at all. It's just a matter of whether you give it or not," Zhuque said without any mercy. In her eyes, it was all the same whether they were from Wangshu or the Star Clan.

"Alright then, I'll agree to your previous conditions, fellow Daoist, and give up 20% of the resources, along with one hundred top-grade innate spiritual materials," said the Holy Mother of the Northern Star through gritted teeth.

"No!" Zhuque was enraged, and her voice rose several decibels. "Ten percent of the Star Clan's resources, fifty top-grade innate spiritual materials, and the resources inside the bead. I want them all, not one less."

Zhuque was assertive and domineering, displaying an attitude that left no room for negotiation.

Beichen Shengmu and Wangshu exchanged a glance. Wangshu reluctantly took out the bead and then closed her eyes.

With swift eyes and hands, Zhuque snatched it away, gladly accepting it, and smiled at the Holy Mother of the Northern Star, saying, "Fellow Daoist..."

"Alas..." The Holy Mother of the North Star sighed, feeling sorry for Wang Shu. She wanted to stop her, but it was too late.

The Holy Mother of the North Star really wanted to drive the Vermilion Bird out of the Star Palace. Her eyes struggled for a moment before she said, "Half a percent, twenty percent!"

"I'm leaving..." Zhuque turned to leave without any hesitation.

The Holy Mother of the North Star hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Zhuque accepted Wangshu's resources, but did not make any promises.

If Zhuque were to truly leave, even the daily tears of the Holy Mother of Beichen would not be enough to describe the sorrow in her heart.

"Alright, alright! I agree!" said the Holy Mother of the North Star with a bitter face and a helpless expression.

At the same time, he turned around and glared fiercely at Wang Shu. If Wang Shu hadn't been so generous, Zhuque would definitely have agreed not to accept the Star Clan's resources, and even some of the resources in the bead could have been saved.

Because there are so many resources inside, Suzaku would never refuse.

"Good! That's great!" Zhuque said, turning back to look at Wangshu with a playful expression.

“You…” Wang Shu was furious.
