Hearing his words, the Golden Crow father and son in the distance were dumbfounded. This kid really had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, daring to speak to such a terrifying being like that.

Prince Jinwu was secretly delighted. He used to think this guy was too annoying because of his sharp tongue, but now he thought it was great.

It would be best to be even more shameless, so that you offend Yu the Great, who could wipe you out with a single breath.

Yu Yanluo and the other two women looked at Zu An with worry. In fact, they did not agree with going to fight Da Yu at this time, as the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

Zuan's back was also soaked with cold sweat; he had just forced himself to shout it out.

The main reason is that based on what I saw of Yu the Great's words and actions, he wasn't an evil villain, but rather someone who upheld order and justice.

In addition, his previous experiences in unknown places, whether it was Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng or Shang Emperor Wu Geng, all personally imparted the benefits to him.

But in this unknown land, even though everything seemed to be almost resolved and Yu the Great was about to leave, there was no indication of anything. How could he not be anxious?

They ventured into the unknown, narrowly escaping death several times along the way, only to end up gaining nothing and losing a huge amount of stuff – a truly devastating loss.

"What did I damage?" Da Yu turned around, somewhat displeased.

The Golden Crow Prince in the distance was overjoyed. This guy is courting death, dancing on a grave. One day he'll run into a ghost.

Yu Yanluo hurriedly tugged at Zu An's sleeve, but Zu An calmly assessed the situation and realized that he hadn't received any anger signals from her. Hmm, it seems he wasn't angry.

So he said, "Of course it's the Nine Cauldrons. I brought them here, and I used them to break the seal on the space you were in. But you broke them into nine pieces and used them to suppress Gonggong in the Nine Provinces."

[A book-reading app recommended to me by a friend I've known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It's damn good! I use it to read aloud and listen to books while driving or before bed to pass the time. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu]

He still can't understand how the tiny Nine Cauldrons in his hands, which he usually only uses to refine medicine, could have such great power just now.

Yu the Great said calmly, "I forged the Nine Tripods; they were originally my weapons."

Feeling uneasy under the other person's gaze, Zu An thought to himself that this guy's true strength was probably already comparable to those immortals in heaven, yet he was still staying in the mortal realm, which was simply unfair.

He quietly checked the backend and, finding no anger points, calmed down a bit: "The Nine Cauldrons were indeed well-forged by the senior, but as time passed, the senior passed away, and the Nine Cauldrons changed hands many times before finally coming into my hands. I brought them into this world, and I am also their master."

Even the Demon Emperor was somewhat impressed by Zu An. This guy was incredibly thick-skinned; he actually dared to ask Yu the Great for a debt. What difference was there between that and courting death?

He asked himself if anyone had ever dared to speak to him like that before, he would have killed them without hesitation.

However, what happened next almost made his eyes pop out, because Da Yu nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense."

Da Yu carefully examined Zu An and suddenly exclaimed, "With your cultivation level, it seems that you have already been recognized by the will of this world. It is truly amazing."

"Recognized by the will of heaven and earth?" Even the Demon Emperor was jealous. What does it mean to be recognized by the will of heaven and earth? He was so powerful, yet he had never been recognized by the will of heaven and earth in his own world. Not only him, but Zhao Hao was the same.

On the contrary, those who are recognized by Heaven and Earth are people with great fortune. As long as they continue to cultivate in this world, their progress will be many times faster than in the outside world.

Even those who try to harm him are often rejected by the will of this world, and from then on, they suffer a series of misfortunes.

Having come into this world and fought the Four Fiends to the death, broken so many important seals and obtained so many key items, I still haven't gained the approval of the will of heaven and earth. What did the other party do to receive such blessings?

The Golden Crow Prince's eyes were filled with madness and jealousy. Why was it that this ant, who was so annoying and jumpy, always had such a smooth life and got all the benefits?

Zuan had not expected that he would gain the approval of the will of heaven and earth. He wondered if it was because Yi's heroic journey had been interrupted and the nine evil suns in the sky had been shot down.

If we use a game as an analogy, I should have completed the S-rank hidden mission in this world, and at the same time, I completed the S-rank main mission with the Demon Emperor. In addition, my item, the Nine Cauldrons, played a very crucial role. Therefore, in the end, my contribution was much greater than that of the Demon Emperor and his group.

At this moment, Yu spoke again: "Speaking of which, you and I are destined to meet. However, the Nine Cauldrons have now been used to suppress the Nine Provinces, so I cannot return them to you. Instead, I will give you something else in return."

A strange light flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and his breathing became rapid. How bad could something given by such an existence be?

After he leaves, I must snatch it from Zu'an.

Although the opponent is currently blessed with great fortune, their strength is far inferior to his own. In addition, in order to deal with Gonggong, he absorbed the cultivation of Fuyou, making him even stronger than he was at his peak.

Zuan had just sorted out his thoughts and felt much more relaxed: "The Nine Cauldrons are so precious, I won't accept compensation of ordinary goods."

Yu the Great: "..."

The others: "..."

This guy always manages to make shameless things sound so natural, no matter who the other person is.

Yan Xuehen felt this most deeply, thinking that if he hadn't been so fearless, how could he have dared to climb into my bed?
