The scene was completely silent, except for Lu Shu, Linafeier, and others in the back discussing their feelings after breaking through to the level of Creator God, as well as the various changes.
Chen Ping tapped his fingers, looking at the five people below. He was certain that Huan Hun would stay, but the remaining five were a bit more difficult to deal with. The best way would definitely be to kill them and get rid of them once and for all.
But it feels like a waste. It's a creator god level, a second-tier existence. Even though it's wild and destined to have many shortcomings, it's still better than nothing, right?
Even if they stay, what can they do for the Heart of the Divine Island? Hmm, Chen Ping couldn't help but ponder.
Siwu, the bald giant, and the others stared intently at Chen Ping, their hearts pounding like drums, knowing that this moment would determine their life or death. Every decision Chen Ping made would directly impact their future; life or death hung in the balance.
After a brief moment of thought, Chen Ping had a sudden inspiration and a possible solution flashed through his mind—he thought of the mineral veins inside the Heart of the Divine Island.
Indeed, due to the effect of the Heart of the Divine Island, these mineral veins are automatically reset every day. Although the earth elemental creatures continue to mine tirelessly, even the powerful earth elementals can only mine a tiny fraction of the extremely precious and difficult-to-mine resource, the Divine Source Ore, after reaching the late stage of God King.
So, Chen Ping had a sudden thought: why not let these four newly promoted Creator Gods be in charge of mining the Divine Source Mine? Compared to ordinary earth elementals, these beings with Creator God-level power should theoretically be able to mine Divine Source Ore more efficiently.
This not only solves their problem of staying or leaving, but also allows them to make full use of their abilities to contribute to the Heart of the Divine Island.
"I've got it!" Chen Ping murmured to himself. Then he looked at the four people and a sly yet compassionate smile appeared on his face. "If you four are willing, you can stay in the Heart of the Divine Island and be in charge of mining the Divine Source Vein."
This will not only save your lives, but it will also help improve your strength. Of course, I believe that being a mine slave is far more meaningful to you than losing your lives, right?
......
Chen Ping's voice, like that of a demon, rang in the ears of the four.
Although the bald, burly man was somewhat taken aback, just as Chen Ping had said, being a miner was better than losing everything. Even ants try to survive, let alone a grown man like him. Besides, there is hope as long as you are alive; perhaps one day...
He performed well and was recruited? After all, he's a creator god-level being, so he must be of some use, right?
Compared to the bald, burly man's proactive response, Siwu's face appeared particularly pale. He knew that he was already relatively weak among the creator gods of the same level, and now he had to engage in physically demanding mining work, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him.
However, at this critical juncture of life and death, he could only endure the humiliation and hardship, hoping to get through this difficult period and one day change the situation.
The remaining two challengers shared the same sentiment. They knew that although mining was arduous, it at least gave them a chance to breathe and survive. Rather than facing a dead end now, they decided to temporarily set aside their pride, throw themselves into the mine, and wait for an opportunity; perhaps an unexpected turn of events would come.
Chen Ping remained rather indifferent to the four men's varying emotional reactions, knowing that once they signed the slave contracts, they were destined to spend their lives in the mines. However, he didn't intend to handle these trivial matters personally, instead delegating the task to Lu Shu.
After considering the matter in his mind, Chen Ping decisively instructed, "Lu Shu, the rest is up to you. You need to sign slave contracts with them and arrange for them to go to the mine to start mining."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shu walked steadily to Chen Ping's side, his gaze sweeping over the four challengers in turn, seemingly unaffected by their complex expressions. He respectfully replied to Chen Ping, "Island Lord, I understand everything and will handle this matter properly."
Deer Tree then asked Linafil for four slave contracts, and laid them out in front of the bald giant, Suu, and the other two, with a calm smile on his face: "Gentlemen, please sign these, and you can begin your work after you have signed."
Without a word, the bald, burly man decisively grabbed the contract pen and signed his name on the contract without hesitation. Instantly, the contract emitted a dazzling light, and a beam of light shot straight into his brow, imprinting itself on his soul, signifying that he had completely become a slave to the Heart of the Divine Island.
When Suu and the others saw the bald giant sign the contract so readily, they were all surprised and puzzled. They hadn't expected him to be so resolute and decisive. However, faced with life and death, they also understood that delaying would not change anything. So they all followed the bald giant's example, heavily picking up the contract pen and leaving their irreversible marks on the small scroll that would bear their future fate.
From that moment on, their life trajectories were tightly bound to these seemingly insignificant contracts.
After seeing that they had all signed the contract, Lu Shu led them away.
......
Alright, these four have already been put to good use. Now, only this Phantom Soul is left. Considering she is an outstanding talent, Chen Ping plans to give her some preferential treatment.
Looking at Huanhun who was staring at him, Chen Ping said calmly, "Huanhun, given your exceptional talent, I can grant you a reasonable request. As long as your conditions are not excessive, I can agree to them. Now you can think carefully about what you want."
After saying that, Chen Ping ignored her and walked towards Linafil to ask for a slave contract. He said that although the treatment was preferential, the contract still had to be signed, and everyone should be treated equally.
After obtaining the contract, Chen Ping looked at Hua Xiao and Ling Nana and said with a smile, "This pharmacist will be in your care from now on, but you need to plan an area for her to move around in, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Xiao and Ling Nana nodded in response, "Understood, Island Master."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded with satisfaction, then walked back. Looking at Huan Hun, who was still pondering, he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he sat back down and waited quietly. Look how generous he is! This is the preferential treatment given to technical talents.
......
Upon hearing this, Huanhun glanced at Chen Ping in surprise. Watching Chen Ping's departing figure, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. People who treat prisoners so well like Chen Ping are truly rare in this core sea area.
