"More than just acquaintances!" Cao Ya laughed, noticing the delighted expressions of Qin Yu, Jiang Lan, Jiang Li, and the others inside the Mu residence.

They believed that with a top-notch spiritual treasure, securing the third spot was a sure thing.

For Qin Yu, the most scarce element when refining acquired spiritual treasures, primordial spiritual energy, was abundant in the new universe.

Once your skills improve and you collect various divine materials, you can continuously refine spiritual treasures!

Even if it's a top-tier treasure, Qin Yu wouldn't hesitate to give it up if it could help him marry Jiang Li!

Furthermore, the son-in-law of a "God of Craftsmen," the Arctic Holy Emperor "Jiang Fan," should be satisfied.

The status of the "God of Craftsmen" is extremely revered, no less than that of an ordinary god-king!

Furthermore, the second Meteor Tear is also on Qin Yu. Jiang Lan, Jiang Li, and others already knew this, and they could also inform Jiang Fan later that the Meteor Tear would be given to Jiang Li as a wedding gift.

In this way, Jiang Li has a great chance of becoming the new "King of Life"!

Given this situation, Qin Yu was very confident that he could gain Jiang Fan's approval and be with Li'er.

But Cao Ya understood that Qin Yu and Jiang Li's expectations were destined to be dashed!

He also noticed the Northwest Holy Emperor's somber expression, which meant he was about to unleash his trump card.

"A chance for the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable to make a move..."

"The Holy Emperor of the North Pole could not possibly resist this temptation! What is his daughter's happiness, what is the 'God of Craftsmen,' what is the 'first-class spiritual treasure,' how can they compare to the opportunity of his own Celestial Venerable?"

Thunder Punishment City already has a Celestial Venerable. Considering the overall situation, it is highly unlikely that the Celestial Venerable Mountain will descend for the third time. It is more likely that the God King of Thunder Punishment City will be struck by an incredible opportunity!

Those capable individuals who prove themselves, regardless of their status, are welcomed by both the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu and even Lin Meng. However, those who take shortcuts and receive initiation... require careful consideration.

Clearly, Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable knew this well; he could not, for the sake of the God King of Thunder Punishment City, plot to seize the Celestial Venerable's spiritual treasure.

In this situation, the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable's intervention is not so important; it would be better to use it as a condition for exchanging benefits and release him.

Originally, there might have been some hesitation about which royal family to trade with.

However, if we can obtain the permission of the Arctic Holy Emperor to let Zhou Xian marry Jiang Li and then refine the supreme treasure Meteor Tear... in the near future, Thunder Punishment City will have a new God King!

How can this not be a good thing?

The Northwest Holy Emperor was certain that the Arctic Holy Emperor, "Jiang Fan," would absolutely not be able to refuse!

However, apart from Lin Meng, only Cao Ya knew that the candidate for the third appearance of Tianzun Mountain had been determined, and it was none other than the first "God of Crafts" - Che Houyuan!

Currently, the God-Kings of the God Realm, regardless of whether they are primordial royalty or ascended beings, are not within the selection range.

And Che Houyuan truly deserves the title of "Celestial Venerable".

In fact, Che Houyuan has the potential to become the one in control!

Unfortunately, he had some shortcomings, which led to the severing of his path to transcendence.

Lin Meng's decision to give up a "Heavenly Venerable Merit" was actually compensation for Che Houyuan, and also a form of regret.

"Well, I still want to try and snatch one or two of those Heavenly Treasures, and gain some insight into them."

Cao Ya thought for a moment, this Heavenly Venerable Treasure, representing the highest level of attainment, contains the law of time. Even if it is divided into three parts, any one of them would be of great help to Cao Ya, who has achieved tens of thousands of times "time acceleration"!

He didn't want to become a Celestial Venerable through initiation, but he had no problem studying spiritual treasures and improving his own cultivation.

The birth of the second "God of Craftsmen," Qin Yu, led to the forging of a first-class spiritual treasure, causing extraordinary phenomena throughout the divine realm!

Cao Ya and Xue Yun, the Blood Sea Queen, also abandoned their plans to continue the fight and both stopped.

Subsequently, Cao Ya also left the Western Sea and traveled to the Divine Realm Continent, where there were also many reclusive God-Kings.

Xue Yun pondered for a moment, feeling a sense of urgency. To compete for the next Heavenly Venerable Treasure and the "Heavenly Venerable Spot," he had to be even more careful.

"Of my sixteen blood slaves, only two are God-Kings. The remaining fourteen are all Upper Gods. It's still not enough."

“One is Cao Ya, the other is Luo Fan…”

Xue Yun sighed, but quickly cheered herself up; her personality meant she wouldn't really be negative.

"Boom." Xue Yun plunged into the sea of ​​blood. This was her true form. As long as the sea of ​​blood remained, she would never die!

Meanwhile, Cao Ya wandered the continent of the gods, also diverting his divine sense to observe the Arctic Snow City.

As he knew, in the end, the Arctic Holy Emperor still chose Zhou Xian, even after Qin Yu offered him a first-class spiritual treasure!

This scene caused an uproar among everyone, and even the god-kings attending the meeting sneered.

The Holy Emperor of the Arctic is far too biased, showing no regard for his own reputation whatsoever!

The Arctic Holy Emperor "Jiang Fan" had anticipated this scene and was mentally prepared. He was thick-skinned and pretended not to see it.

He couldn't possibly be foolish enough to reveal the conditions of the Northwest Thunder Punishment City publicly.

"Li'er, come here," Jiang Fan called out.

"Princess Jiang Li, from today onwards, you are my fiancée," Zhou Xian said with a smile.

He glanced at Qin Yu smugly. So what if you're the "God of Craftsmen"? In the end, I'll still be the winner!

"Big brother, why... How could the completion of Thunder Punishment City possibly compare to Xiaoyu's first-class spiritual treasure??" Jiang Lan was incredulous and also felt a kind of speechless anger.

Qin Yu was also shocked and furious. Including the first spot, there were two first-class spiritual treasures in total. Wasn't that enough to impress the Arctic Holy Emperor and show his determination?

“Father…” Jiang Li was also very sad. She had privately expressed her feelings to her father and mother. Many tens of thousands of years ago, when they were in the mortal world, she and Qin Yu were already deeply in love.

Moreover, she didn't make things difficult for her parents and was very considerate of them. Qin Yu openly participated in the marriage proposal event, and the things he provided were so good that even a god-king couldn't find fault with them!

Even so, the Emperor still refused to consider Qin Yu, disregarding her happiness, and chose Zhou Xian instead…

As the saying goes, "Nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart," and that's pretty much what Jiang Li felt at that moment.

"Your Majesty, your choice is not appropriate."

Jiang Xing, the third god-king of Snowdrift City, also had some dissatisfaction.

The Holy Emperor's actions have undoubtedly trampled the reputation of the Arctic Snowdrift City underfoot!

Furthermore, Jiang Xing and Jiang Li are of the same generation. Although Jiang Xing is many years older than Jiang Li, he still hopes that his cousin can have a good marriage.

Comparing Qin Yu and Zhou Xian, even a blind person could see the difference in their abilities!

Not to mention, Qin Yu loves Jiang Li, and Zhou Xian loves "Meteor Tears".

The Arctic Holy Emperor saw the resentment of his fellow god-kings but ignored it, remaining indifferent.

The Northwest Holy Emperor smiled and said, "Mu Mansion God King, Heavenly Heart God King, Princess Jiang Li is the daughter of the Arctic Holy Emperor. Her marriage is up to Brother Jiang Fan to decide. You cannot overstep your bounds."

His smile was quite smug; the conditions offered by Thunder Punishment City could be refused without a God-King!

He glanced at Qin Yu, his eyes filled with sarcasm. So what if he was just an ascendant, even if he was a "God of Craftsmen"?

Even the Asura God King is not qualified to oppose Thunder Punishment City!

"Brother Qin Yu, you need to move aside and not get too close to my fiancée."

Zhou Xian grinned, emphasizing the words "fiancée" with a triumphant air.

Qin Yu ignored the Northwest Holy Emperor and his son Zhou Xian, staring intently at the Northwest Holy Emperor, and said, "Northwest Holy Emperor, for the three missions, I have handed over two top-tier spiritual treasures and the answer to the Illusionary Spirit Mirror! Isn't this enough for you to judge from a fair perspective?"

Qin Yu's words were full of anger; the choice made by the Arctic Holy Emperor was truly problematic.

The gods standing nearby all looked at Jiang Fan with mocking eyes.

"I'm being fair. The items from Thunder Punishment City are better than first-class spiritual treasures!" Jiang Fan said indifferently.

"Could it be a Celestial Treasure?" The Blood Demon Queen feigned surprise.

The gods laughed, "Even the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable only possesses one Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure. For the sake of a grandson's marriage and a chance encounter with a God King, would the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable really give up his most prized possession? What a joke!"

"You don't understand," Jiang Fan said coldly, too lazy to explain.

"You really want to oppose me?"

Jiang Fan's face was gloomy as he stared at Jiang Lan and Jiang Xing, and also glanced at Qin Yu. The more satisfied he had been in the past, the more disgusted he was now!

“Your Majesty, you handled this matter terribly,” Jiang Xing said, shaking his head.

"Last time, I was a step too late, but this time, I'm here, and I will not back down!"

Jiang Lan said in a deep voice, "Jiang Li is not only his niece, but also a gift from Zuo Qiumei on her deathbed. He absolutely cannot stand by and watch Jiang Li spend her days in tears!"

Moreover, why should the opportunity to become a god-king, represented by "Meteor Tears," be given to someone else?

That was a gift from Zuo Qiumei to Jiang Li; Jiang Li should be the king!

"Brother Jiang Fan, don't be so soft-hearted. Although our promise is valid, you must also show some commitment," the Northwest Holy Emperor reminded him.

“I understand.” The Arctic Holy Emperor nodded, his gaze cold.

"Of course, we can lend a hand if needed. Jiang Li is already the daughter-in-law of Thunder Punishment City," the Northwest Holy Emperor said with a smile.

"In that case, thank you very much," said the Arctic Holy Emperor. He knew that his second brother was also very strong, and even with the Dark Source Spirit Pearl, a first-class spiritual treasure, he was not confident of winning.

Not to mention his nephew, the Heavenly Heart God King, who also sided with Jiang Lan.

Even if other god-kings only make sarcastic remarks, they wouldn't actually take action.

However, he also needed the help of the Northwest Holy Emperor to suppress the rebellious voices within Snowdrift City.

As for being unpopular... the Arctic Holy Emperor doesn't care. Once he becomes a Celestial Venerable, all his people will kneel at his feet again, begging for his forgiveness!

"'God of Craftsmen'? Heh, only by showing you respect can one be considered on par with a God-King. If we don't respect you, you're just a high-ranking celestial being, whom we can destroy with a flick of our fingers." The Northwest Holy Emperor's lips curled into a disdainful smile.

The Asura God King suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Qin Yu, if you are willing to join the Asura Sea, I will do my best to ensure your safe departure from Snowdrift City! Even winning the heart of the beauty is not impossible!"

In an instant, the expressions of the Arctic Holy Emperor and the Northwest Holy Emperor changed.

The power of the Asura God King is beyond doubt, and the combined strength of the eight Holy Emperors is indeed sufficient to secure victory.

They could rival five or six Holy Emperors, even the Asura God King, but the two of them alone... were actually at a disadvantage!

However, considering that Thunder Punishment City still has three great god-kings, the other royal families, even if they have opinions, are unlikely to sit idly by and watch the Asura God-King run rampant, overpower the Holy Emperor, and allow the ascendants' power to become even more rampant, so they felt slightly relieved.

In fact, the Holy Emperors of the Northeast, Southwest, West, South, East, and Southeast all looked quite displeased.

It wasn't aimed at the Asura God King, but at the Northwest Holy Emperor and the Arctic Holy Emperor.

They created such a mess, and now we have to clean up their mess?!

The Blood Demon Queen and the Ethereal God King naturally sided with the Asura God King.

In an instant, tensions rose within the Great Hall of the Arctic Holy Emperor, with a group of God-Kings facing off, and a battle between King-level beings could erupt at any moment!

All around, whether they were servants, maids, candidates, or gods who had come with the God-King to witness the ceremony, they all held their breath.

Qin Yu cupped his hands in thanks to the Asura God King, as well as Jiang Lan and Jiang Xing.

However, he also refused the help of several god-kings.

The King of Gods was taken aback. Could it be that Qin Yu had resigned himself to his fate?

"It's better to be sensible than to lose your life," Jiang Fan said with a faint smile, the space around Qin Yu already sealed off.

Qin Yu ignored him, simply turning her head to meet Jiang Li's gaze with tenderness.

"No one can separate us," Qin Yu said softly. As soon as he finished speaking, he, Jiang Li, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and even Uncle Fu outside the hall suddenly disappeared.

"Hmm?" The God Kings were startled. They could all sense the seal on that void. If Qin Yu were a God King, he could break free, but how could a mere Upper Celestial God...?

They didn't even notice that Jiang Lan and Jiang Xing had made any moves!

"Qin Yu!" The Arctic Holy Emperor was even more shocked and furious, and he couldn't understand how Qin Yu had taken his daughter away!

Most importantly, Jiang Li is gone. How do we explain this in the Northwest Thunder Punishment City?

Will the Thunder God make another move?

The Northwest Holy Emperor and others were equally astonished and baffled.

How could one teleport without being a God-King? Yet, they actually broke through the seal of a Holy Emperor!

“Brother Jiang Fan, the promise still stands, but we must also issue a warrant for Qin Yu's arrest throughout the entire God Realm in the name of Snowdrift City and Thunder Punishment City! As long as he dares to show up, we will teleport there immediately and kill this brat!” said the Northwest Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor of the Arctic made up his mind and nodded emphatically.

"Damn Qin Yu!" Zhou Xian gritted his teeth. Back in the mortal realm, he was just an ant-like nobody, yet he had actually come to this... He regretted even more why he hadn't just killed Qin Yu back then!

After watching a good show, the group of god-kings led their disciples and followers and left Snowdrift City one after another.

This sudden change quickly spread throughout the divine realm, shocking countless gods and immortals!

Qin Yu's name is not only related to the "God of Craftsmen", but he is also suspected of possessing a special treasure, which allows him to fight against the God King with the appearance of an upper-level celestial being!

This is unprecedented, even more terrifying than when Cao Ya, the God-King, defeated a lower-level god while being a superior god!

Qin Yu became an object of reverence for countless gods!

At the same time, the reputation of the Arctic Holy Emperor is also declining. Although no one dares to openly criticize him, there is no shortage of ridicule behind his back!

No matter how powerful the God-King is, he can't control what they think!

Upon hearing the news, Cao Ya couldn't help but smile. Qin Yu's new universe had been successfully opened and was evolving, with its own set of laws and rules. Even the God Kings and Celestial Venerables of the God Realm would be completely baffled if they went to the new universe!

On the contrary, pure strength, such as physical and spiritual attainments, will not be diminished.

Of course, due to the system space, Cao Ya's power is the same no matter where he is.

However, he and Qin Yu are not enemies, so there is no need to worry so much.

Not long after, Cao Ya received an invitation from Jiang Lan.

"Qin Yu is getting married to Jiang Li?"
