The King of Black Fog

And these people, clearly relying on their protection, are shamelessly demanding at least Constant Star Level!

'They might be saying it to themselves. You can't just reprimand others for having ambitions and expressing their ideals,' Li Changzhou said.

'Don't worry, I'll be the bad guy when the time comes,' said Turquoise Pool directly.

The Witch pressed her lips tightly.

"Witch, what about you?" Venus asked.

"Me? I listen to His Majesty!" the Witch hurriedly replied.

"Didn't Gu She Divine Woman promise you? You can choose freely from the existing Heavenly Will, so, what ideals do you have?" said the young Martial Saint carelessly.

Among these people, there are those referred to by Turquoise Pool, those with their own hidden intentions, and those mentioned by Li Changzhou, just talking about their ambitions.

Actually, having hidden intentions isn't wrong, but from Turquoise Pool's perspective, taking advantage while being picky, that's inviting trouble.

She was accustomed to thinking from the top's perspective, always being superior wherever she went.

Take the trip to India for example, during that time, she was surrounded by a large number of bodyguards disguised as companions, and the local authorities also dispatched numerous police officers for protection.

She always stood by her word.

There were some more ruthless thoughts she didn't share with Li Changzhou. According to her, a few of these people needed to die for the rest to grasp their positioning, remember gratitude, and understand their most important task.

"...No, I don't have my own thoughts," said the Witch.

Turquoise Pool suddenly looked at her.

The Witch froze entirely.

It was only when Turquoise Pool slightly smiled at her that the Witch realized she was actually sweating!

"Alright," Turquoise Pool spoke, "everyone should do what they need to do. If you want to obtain the Heavenly Will you desire, be vigilant and serious."

"Yes!" everyone's expressions were filled with excitement.

After all, just now, a Heavenly Will capable of directly achieving Heavenly Position was presented in front of them. Whoever wanted it could take it!

"Yueji, come with me for a while."

"...Yes."

Turquoise Pool returned to the Thunder Temple, sitting on the god seat forged by thunder.

The Chaos Bell ceaselessly struck the grinding stone, which contorted and occasionally transformed into a sphere made of rings.

"Can you read minds?" Turquoise Pool directly asked.

Yueji quickly replied: "Reporting to Goddess, it isn't exactly mind-reading, it's just, just..."

"Speak plainly, " Turquoise Pool smiled slightly, "Do you think I'd blame you for having a certain skill?"

"...Reporting to Turquoise Pool Goddess, I can read the minds of Immortals, the thoughts of Earth Immortals...occasionally see fragmented sentences, and I have learned many expression-related skills, so... it's mostly accurate."

Turquoise Pool nodded to show she understood.

She suddenly asked, "Among all of you, who cares about themselves the most?"

"...Goddess, do you mean to ask who among us is only concerned about obtaining a suitable Heavenly Will, rather than caring if His Majesty can obtain the strongest Heavenly Will?"

"Everyone cares only about themselves; I'm asking who is just thinking of relying on His Majesty's power, yet doesn't wish to contribute on His Majesty's behalf?"

"..."

"You don't know the answer? But you should know."

The Witch stayed silent for a long while, then replied, "It's... the useless old Daoist."

A green divine light flashed in Turquoise Pool's eyes.

Although the Six Great Stars are united now, the useless old Daoist, as a member of the Xia Clan, turns out to be inferior to a Knight, a foreigner.

"Who is second?" Turquoise Pool's tone remained unchanged.

"Indra and Venus."

"You may leave now."

"Yes." The Witch knew that among these three, someone was bound to have bad luck.

She stood up and left the Thunder Temple, contemplating whether to inform Li Changzhou about this matter, after all, she pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Emperor, not Turquoise Pool.

But since Li Changzhou appears unpredictable, every time he shows up, Turquoise Pool will certainly be by his side, she had no opportunity to meet the Emperor alone.

She could only hope that the useless old Daoist, Indra, and Venus would have a bit more gratitude and dedication to His Majesty while enjoying His Majesty's protection.

Boom!

The planet beneath trembled.

The Witch initially paid no attention, for during this period, whenever faced with a powerful foe, there wasn't one unable to shake the planet.

However, upon exiting the Thunder Temple, she was dumbstruck.

A colossal ship appeared in the endless darkness of the cosmos, compared to the ship, the planet was but a mere bullet-sized speck.

The inside of the ship was vast, with a massive cluster of palaces atop it!

Looking around, the various temples and ancient Daoist arenas extended endlessly.

Even in a value game, such a ship wouldn't be this large!

"Quick! Witch! Notify Turquoise Pool Goddess!" The Phoenix flashed by, flying to the highest peak of the planet.

The Witch hurriedly turned around, and Turquoise Pool, who hadn't completely closed off for refining Heavenly Will, had already come out.

Red robes fluttering, tall figure, lightning treading beneath her feet, Chaos Bell flying over from behind her, suspended at her slender waist.

Just as she walked out of the temple, the planet happened to stop nearby the enormous ship.

[You discovered the lost ancient ship]

[You discovered Heaven's Will - Emperor of Nine Heavens]

[You discovered Heaven's Will - Flame Divine Crown]

[You discovered Heaven's Will - Purple Qi Gourd]

[You discovered Heaven's Will - Emperor Seal]

"Get lost!"

On the ancient ship, dozens of players appeared, blocking the path between the planet and the ancient ship.

"You think we'll just leave because you say so?" The young Martial Saint stepped forward, surrounded by purple dragons, displaying extraordinary divine prowess.

One of the players sneered, reaching out to take an item.

Countless rings swirled into a sphere—it's Heavenly Will!

"Leave now, and I'll spare your life; step forward once more, and I'll immediately merge with the Heavenly Will to ensure you die without a corpse!"

The young Martial Saint was forced to halt, his expression serious.
