Chapter 1513: Background

"Master, that Holy Lord seems to be thanking Xu Gang and even gifted him a twenty-zhang supreme law crystal," Grape said, sounding puzzled.

The pen that had just touched the little notebook paused.

"Interesting, it seems that Holy Lord sensed something," Xu Fan chuckled as he put away the little notebook and pen.

"Since that’s the case, let it be, but a twenty-zhang supreme law crystal isn’t enough to erase causality."

"I’ve already taken out my little notebook. Tell Xu Gang to ask for a hundred-zhang supreme law crystal."

"Understood, Master."

Meanwhile, far away in the Chaotic Mist Area, Xu Gang faced the enthusiastic Holy Lord-level Powerful Being.

"My master said only a hundred-zhang supreme law crystal can erase causality."

"I think my master might be joking; please don’t take it seriously, senior," Xu Gang said, preparing to leave.

"Young friend, wait a moment. There might have been a misunderstanding. A hundred zhang it is, then."

Another hundred-zhang supreme law crystal was quickly placed into Xu Gang’s Space-type Spiritual Treasure.

In the end, Xu Gang left the contest arena, escorted by the Holy Lord-level Powerful Being.

Not long after, all the Chaotic Great Saints and Holy Lords in the Chaotic Mist Area learned that a human with a background even the Holy Lords feared had arrived in their territory.

"Old Yin, who exactly is this person to make you so cautious?" A voice reached the ears of the old Holy Lord still standing at the contest arena entrance.

"I’m not sure, but in an instant, I felt a supreme, deadly causality wrapping around me," the old Holy Lord replied.

"If they can make you uneasy, they must be a Second Realm Powerful Being."

"I haven’t heard of any human in this area with such power," the voice continued.

"Why bother worrying? If we can’t provoke them, we’ll just treat them with respect," the old Holy Lord said.

"Haha, as expected of someone who survived the chaotic era until now."

The voice faded away.

At that moment, as Xu Gang was about to continue shopping with his wife, he froze.

Over twenty voices echoed in his mind.

"Young friend, I am the Heaven’s Wave Holy Lord. This small gift is to send my regards to your master."

"I am the Northern God Holy Lord; here’s a small gift for you…"

"I am the Star Dragon Holy Lord; a small…"

Spatial fluctuations surrounded him as one Space-type Spiritual Treasure after another appeared before Xu Gang, totaling at least twenty.

These Spiritual Treasures quickly made their way into Xu Fan’s hands.

"Interesting. I’ve received so many gifts upon our first meeting."

"Since others have sent gifts, we shouldn’t fall short."

More than thirty exclusive Path Mark Light Shadow Diagrams from Xu Fan appeared in Xu Gang’s hands.

Then, following the causality attached to those gifts, they automatically broke through space and flew toward the Holy Lords who had sent them.

In a mysterious divine realm, an indescribable being gazed at the Path Mark Light Shadow Diagram in his hands, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"Indeed, a powerful being of the second realm. Otherwise, their mastery of Realm Chess couldn’t be so profound. It seems I must take the opportunity to communicate further in the future," the Heaven’s Wave Holy Lord remarked.

"Kong Ling~"

"Master, I’m here."

A peak Great Saint-level Chaos Great Saint appeared, respectfully waiting below.

"Bring a substantial gift and go befriend the Chaos Great Saint named Xu Gang. I grant you permission to mobilize all the power of the Heaven’s Wave Divine Realm," the Heaven’s Wave Holy Lord’s indifferent voice resonated.

"Understood!"

This scene unfolded in various divine realms.

At that moment, Xu Gang examined the last three Path Mark Light Shadow Diagrams, lost in thought.

Suddenly, the surrounding space stirred again, and the voices of the last three Holy Lords echoed in Xu Gang’s mind, presenting three small gifts.

Then, three Path Mark Light Shadow Diagrams broke through the space.

"Just as expected from my master; these gifts are perfect."

Inside the Holy Food Restaurant, Xu Gang boldly ordered a dish worth ten-zhang supreme law crystal to be sent to Xu Fan.

However, soon after, the restaurant’s main manager personally came out, waived the bill for this meal, and gifted them ten sets of holy food packages, each worth ten-zhang supreme law crystal.

"Little Xi, does this count as me borrowing the power of others?" Xu Gang suddenly laughed.

"Of course not! With such a strong background and respect from all sides, how could it be seen as borrowing strength?" his wife, standing nearby, replied with a smile.

The main manager of the Holy Food Restaurant personally escorted them out, ensuring them a 30% discount on future visits.

In the Hidden Spirit Sect’s courtyard, Xu Fan gazed at ten Spiritual Treasure-level meal boxes before him, nodding in satisfaction.

"What a good disciple! I merely mentioned the dishes were delightful, and he sent me so much."

These dishes, made by Holy Lord-level Powerful Beings, truly aided Xu Fan’s cultivation.

"Grape, help me invite the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan, the Holy Light, and the Holy Lord of Lingxi over; I want to host them."

The three races have helped the human race greatly over the years. Though it may seem like just icing on the cake, this debt must be repaid.

Above the Three Thousand Realms, in a temporary large world.

The three race Holy Lords gathered, gazing in shock at the 666 dishes laid out on the table.

As long as they were Holy Lord-level Powerful Beings, they had surely traveled around the nearby Chaotic Mist Area and had some experience.

"To have managed to cultivate the gourmet division to the Holy Lord level is truly impressive; today we are in for a treat!" the Holy Lord of the Lingxi tribe smiled, as the human-made delicacies suited their Lingxi tribe’s taste.

"This table of food is certainly not cheap. I will also treat Old Xu to our Holy Light Empire’s delicacies another day," the leader of the Holy Light Empire commented.

The Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan appeared contemplative as he looked at Xu Fan and said with a smile, "Getting to enjoy such exquisite food is perhaps the happiest thing for me in these Epochs."

"Let us stop with the flattery and start eating! Fine wine and good meat are waiting."

"I, Xu Fan, would like to thank the three Holy Lords for all the care you’ve given to our human race over the years," Xu Fan raised his wine cup and said.

"Mutual assistance and support; there’s no need for such formality, Old Xu," the leader of the Holy Light Empire said as he, along with the other two Holy Lords, raised their cups to drink together.

After enjoying the wine and food, they all felt a bit tipsy.

"This wine truly lives up to its name, Saint Drunkenness; it’s absolutely divine," said the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan.

"Three jars of one-zhang supreme law crystal—I can help any Holy Lord who wants to buy," Xu Fan replied with a smile, knowing that even when drunk, there were profits to be made.

"Too pricey; it’s fine for an occasional treat," the Holy Lord of the Lingxi tribe remarked, as she was the least wealthy among the three Holy Lords.

"It’s not bad; if you want to buy in bulk, it’ll be cheaper later," the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan said cheerfully.

"Old Shang, have you set up a meeting with the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan? When’s the fight going down?" the leader of the Holy Light Empire asked eagerly.

"Soon; I need to see his tactics in the Primordial Chaos Zone," the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan responded, his expression turning cold at the mention of the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan.

"I won’t kill him, but he definitely needs a harsh lesson. Over these Epochs, the Holy Lord of the Underworld Clan has been way too arrogant, treating all the other Holy Lords like his underlings and barking orders like he owns the place…"
