Soon, the area of the Origin Armor District became bustling due to the arrival of the King of the Northern Heavens, but it gradually calmed down.

As they watched the figures of the King of the Northern Heavens and his entourage depart, the various powers in Southern Origin City were incredibly curious about what exactly was discussed between the King of the Northern Heavens and Qin Chen. Although they were unclear about the specific conversation, it was certain that the Yong Nation held no significant malice towards Qin Chen; otherwise, the King of the Northern Heavens would not have displayed such a demeanor.

This stirred many factions in Southern Origin City into action.

The Yong Nation was the top divine kingdom in the Southern Cosmic Sea. Previously, Qin Chen had killed the Saint of the City Dragon and offended such a large organization as the Black Dragon Society. In the minds of many, it was believed that Qin Chen would not live for long.

However, if they could attach themselves to the powerful Yong Nation, everything would be different.

Given the strength of the Yong Nation, if they truly wanted to protect Qin Chen, and with the Komodo Beast Clan mediating, Qin Chen might indeed survive the clutches of the Black Dragon Society.

If that were to happen, a new major power would emerge in the Southern Cosmic Sea.

Thus, with the intention of building good relations, some other top factions in Southern Origin City attempted to visit the cave dwelling, hoping to curry favor with Qin Chen.

But they all faced rejection.

“Damn it, they keep disturbing my cultivation,” Saroya eventually decided to completely lock the cave dwelling, refusing all visitors.

Currently, he was at a critical moment of breakthrough and could not be easily disturbed by others.

While Qin Chen and Saroya were both in seclusion, the King of the Northern Heavens led the Divine Might Army, heading towards the Yong Nation in a grand manner.

“Lord, did you really give all those Emperor Crystals to Qin Chen?” The members of the Divine Might Army were incredibly curious and could not help but secretly inquire.

“Otherwise?” The King of the Northern Heavens glanced at everyone.

“Hiss.”

Upon receiving a confirmed answer, the members of the Divine Might Army gasped in shock.

Those were billions of Emperor Crystals! Just like that, they were given away?

This was certainly not a small sum; even though the King of the Northern Heavens was the national war god of the Yong Nation, overseeing the border army, an expenditure of billions of Emperor Crystals still had to be reported to the Yong National Cabinet and approved before it could be utilized.

“Rest assured, I have records of how many Emperor Crystals each of you took; in the end, you won't be shortchanged,” the King of the Northern Heavens said lightly.

“Lord, that’s not what we meant,” the members of the Divine Might Army hurriedly replied.

Hundreds of thousands or millions of Emperor Crystals were not a small sum for ordinary great emperors, but they all came from various major factions and families of the Yong Nation. Joining the border army served as training and gilding; this amount of Emperor Crystals was not significant to them.

“Hum, I know what you are all thinking,” the King of the Northern Heavens looked at the members of the Divine Might Army.

“I won’t say much more; from this moment on, no force of the Yong Nation is allowed to be disrespectful towards Qin Chen. Seeing him is akin to seeing me, the King of the Northern Heavens. Convey this message to your respective families and factions. If you offend this person later, don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand.”

“Yes,” the members of the Divine Might Army quickly responded.

At the same time, their evaluation of Qin Chen rose sharply, and they hurriedly sent messages to their families and factions spread across many star realms of the Yong Nation.

What they wanted was to glean the attitude towards Qin Chen from the King of the Northern Heavens to pave the way for their own families.
