Zhutian Panlong: They've all become gods, and they're only just joining the chat group.

Chapter 80 Negotiations

A few days later, Richard's wind-elemental god avatar arrived on another continent—the continent of Scarborough.

This is the second largest continent in the Tara plane, after the other three.

It was occupied by two lower-level god-level powerhouses.

One of them was Karina, whom Richard was going to visit.

Richard's main body is still in seclusion at home and hasn't moved. His wind-elemental god clone is quite powerful, enough to roam freely in the Tara plane, so he's comfortable letting it go out and have some fun.

Because the fruit of the divine tree is about to ripen, his true form must guard the divine tree.

That thing's consciousness has not yet completely submitted to Richard; it's a rather irritable fool.

I would kick him every now and then.

Stopping thinking about these unpleasant things, Richard focused on getting on his way.

They soon arrived at Karina's residence, a place befitting the identity of the Goddess of Life.

The wide canyon is surrounded by a variety of lively little animals living in harmony, and they don't seem afraid of Richard, an outsider.

In the center of the canyon, beneath a dome naturally woven from symbiotic vines and luminous crystals, lies the inner greenhouse of a gigantic, everlasting, eternal flower.

Liquid life force flows in the nursery, and in the distance, a waterfall carries surging life energy as it rushes down, the sound of water a healing rhythm of nature.

The bottom of the water contains living crystals that contain the blueprint of life, and rare and precious spirit fish that swim around.

It must be said, this is more like the dwelling place of a deity.

Putting everything else aside, this Ms. Karina must have excellent taste.

Richard, at least, couldn't have arranged such a beautiful residence.

Although he received what the aristocracy called an art education, it is clear that he had no artistic talent.

I can't think about it too much; it'll only bring tears to my eyes.

Richard soon met Karina, having already given her prior notice through his divine sense.

So when she arrived, Karina was already prepared.

Aside from Karina, the only other person they wanted to talk about was present.

Her daughters Salami and Kane.

This was the first time Richard had met his genius.

It has to be said that Richard has to admit that this guy is really handsome to be able to hook up with such a great girlfriend.

But why did he remain single for the past few decades, given his advanced age?

Could it be that there weren't any guys this kid liked before?

As a god-level powerhouse, Catherine's appearance is naturally beyond question.

No god-level powerhouse is ugly, because when they become gods, they can use divine power to change their appearance, which involves changes at the most subtle genetic level.

As a descendant of a god-level powerhouse, Salami naturally inherited her mother's appearance.

But I haven't heard that this Ms. Karina has a partner?

Considering that she is a lower-level deity of the laws of life, Salami may not be a child conceived naturally.

Of course, this is someone else's privacy, none of Richard's business, and he doesn't want to delve into it. He was just thinking about these things randomly when his thoughts were wandering.

Kane gave Richard an awkward smile. He hadn't expected to alarm his own ancestors.

He called Richard's name in a low voice.

Salami originally wanted to greet Richard with the respect due to a junior, but considering that she seemed to be older than Richard, she was momentarily stunned.

Richard waved his hand and said, "Let's each do our own thing, just follow your mother's generation."

You may call me Lord Richard.

Since even god-level powerhouses can call themselves that, it must be correct.

Salami looked at his mother, and after she nodded in agreement, he greeted her as Richard had instructed.

Ugh, I'm going to lose money again.

Considering that her mother was a god-level powerhouse, she certainly didn't lack divine artifacts.

So Richard took out a Soul Gold Bead and gave it to her as a gift.

Seeing Kane staring at him expectantly, Richard gave him a disgruntled look and casually tossed him a piece.

Clearly, Salami has a good eye for things. He never expected Richard to give such a precious gift, which is even more valuable than a divine artifact.

I hesitated for a moment, unsure whether I should accept the call.

He only accepted it after his mother smiled and nodded.

Karina was very pleased that Richard had given her such face.

The Soul Golden Pearl is widely circulated among god-level powerhouses, and Karina herself has collected some. She just didn't expect Richard to be so generous, giving such a valuable gift as a first meeting.

"I didn't expect Lord Richard to come in person. Your family seems to think highly of this young man."

After inviting Richard to sit down, Karina casually remarked.

"Of course we have to come. If we don't, this kid will become yours."

Richard said with a smile.

"Oh, Lord Richard, are you really unwilling to part with her? I can't bear to see Salami marry far away. Can you bear to see us, a widow and her daughter, suffer the pain of separation?" Karina used the tactic of feigning retreat to advance very skillfully.

"How about this, forget about the son-in-law arrangement, we'll have a normal marriage. They can decide where to live after the wedding," Richard said decisively.

Although doing so would likely mean that their own genius would not return to the family for a long time.

But it's alright, he has a divine spark in his hands. As long as the young couple still wants to become gods, they'll have to obediently return to their family and work for him.

Even if Kane is confident he can become a god, what about Salami? Thousands of years have passed, and he hasn't even reached the pinnacle of sainthood.

That's about all the talent he has; his chances of becoming a god independently are slim.

Hehehehe, maybe not only this young couple, but even Karina will have to join the Hegel family's war machine.

As for now? Let's just consider it a long, extended married lifespan for the young couple, lasting for hundreds of years.

It's only a few hundred years; he can wait that long, and so can the Hegel family.

Karina smiled with satisfaction after hearing Richard's suggestion; she was very confident in her side.

She has been a god for thousands of years and believes that her foundation is much deeper than that of Richard, a little guy who has only been a god for a hundred or two hundred years.

Her temple of life was far richer than Richard's territory.

This was the conclusion she reached after consulting with Kane.

So she wasn't worried at all that her Salami would be kidnapped.

Although Salami has been a Saint for thousands of years, he has remained by her side for all those years and his heart is still very pure. He has not yet witnessed the deceit and treachery of the outside world.

This was the first time they were released, and they were allowed to roam within their own territory. You could say they were right under her nose, and before she knew it, they were attacked and killed by wild boars from outside.

It's fair to say that when Kaelina saw the two of them being affectionate with her divine sense, she felt like killing Kane.

If she hadn't set up a test later, and Kane hadn't performed quite well, and if the investigation hadn't revealed that Kane came from a good family, didn't have a philandering habit, and was focused on cultivation, she wouldn't have so easily agreed to be with him.

Therefore, she was not at all at ease with Salami marrying far away. With Salami's personality, she would be bullied to death if she had to deal with the complicated interpersonal relationships of these large families.

I feel more at ease keeping it under my own nose.

Even though Kane told her that the Hegel family wasn't that complicated internally.

At least with Richard's intervention, basic fairness can be guaranteed. There will definitely be纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy and powerful families), but these纨绔子弟 should not try to gain any power; they should go play on the sidelines.

There's always been a clear path for advancement within the family, and some people do rise through connections. However, capable individuals are also given important responsibilities.

There is also a lot of support for geniuses.

It can be said that in the Hegel family, anyone with ability will definitely rise to prominence.

After all, the Hegel family is actually a relatively new family, still in a period of rapid growth. Compared to those established noble families, it has fewer drawbacks.

But I'm still not at ease.

And so, the two sides agreed on the marriage.

It was originally a very simple matter, but since it involved Karina, a god-level powerhouse, the rest of the family couldn't make a decision.

Furthermore, Richard also needs to come and express his opinion, as this is a sign of respect for Karina, a god-level powerhouse.

After the matter was resolved, Richard stayed here for a few more days. After all, he had already come all this way, and he couldn't let the trip go to waste.

During this time, Karina invited Richard to spar, wanting to give Richard, a newcomer who had just entered the god-level realm, some pointers.

Now that they're allies, she felt she should share some of her divine-level cultivation experiences as a senior.

The stronger Richard becomes, the stronger Salami's future backing will be.

Richard hesitated, wanting to decline. He was afraid of discouraging the other party. This was his strongest main combat clone.

If one's own life spirit avatar were also present, they could exchange ideas and learn from each other.

In an instant, Li realized he had made a mistake; he should have brought his life god avatar with him.

But there's no rush. We can visit each other more often in the future, and let the Life God's avatars come over more often.

As if sensing his hesitation, Karina assumed he was afraid of losing, so she said it was just a casual sparring match and didn't involve winning or losing.

Richard had no choice but to agree; otherwise, people would think he was being cowardly. Hopefully, he won't be discouraged.

There's not much to say about the specifics of the fight; Richard's wind-elemental divine clone's strength has been continuously improving and has never encountered a bottleneck.

While comprehending the profound mysteries of the laws, they also integrated them.

Although no second profound mystery has been fully comprehended yet, he has now integrated six profound mysteries into his wind-elemental laws.

The mysteries of wind element, wind movement, speed, slowness, wind space, and dimensional blade are all being integrated and advanced.

Only the mysteries of clones, sound waves, and vocal music remain to be found without a point of fusion or compatibility.

With this level of strength, he could easily slaughter even a mid-level god.

When fighting a lower-level god, I'm really afraid that I might accidentally kill him by using too much force.

After their sparring match, Karina looked at him with an incredulous expression, as if he were a monster.

She had witnessed Richard's power before. Thousands of years ago, not long after she became a god, a senior lower god who had long been a god offended Mr. Steven, the guardian of the plane.

That time she witnessed just how powerful a mid-level god was, and ever since then, no one has dared to bother the existing mid-level gods in the Tara plane for the past few thousand years.

The strength Richard displayed seemed to be not much different from that of Mr. Steven from thousands of years ago.

If Richard had been a god for a long time, she would only consider him to have accumulated profound knowledge and skills, and not far from becoming a mid-level god.

Most importantly, Richard has only been a god for a hundred or two hundred years. From the perspective of a god-level powerhouse, there is no difference between him and someone who has just become a god.

Is it almost catching up with a mid-level god?

At that moment, Karina seemed to feel the disparity in the world; sometimes the difference between people was greater than the difference between people and dogs.

She gave Richard a deep look, said nothing, and turned to leave.

At that moment, she felt somewhat fortunate that she and Richard had become in-laws.

Given Richard's demonstrated strength and talent, within a thousand years, he may become the supreme ruler of the entire Tara plane.

And she, Karina, boarded the ship at the most opportune moment. With Salami's connection, she could easily integrate into Richard's faction.

So she doesn't need to rush; she can sit back and wait for Richard to rise to prominence.

She didn't believe that this guy, who was hiding so deeply, wouldn't have any ambition. Even if he himself didn't have ambition, sometimes when you have the strength, the situation will push you forward.
