Chapter 3149 A Stick and a Carrot! Battle Merit Statistics! For Balance!

Wang Teng hadn’t expected the Bright Universe to decide to teleport them to the Bright Secret Realm so quickly.

Before, they’d been taking their time, seemingly waiting for them to recover.

Now they weren’t waiting anymore?

“Could it be because of the wealth I absorbed earlier?”

Wang Teng suddenly realized something, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

So, it was all his fault?

He felt like he’d shot himself in the foot.

Originally, Wang Teng had planned to handle things outside properly, explaining the situation to avoid worrying others.

After all, it was fifty years.

Even if he managed to escape, he probably wouldn’t want to show himself in front of his acquaintances.

If word got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

This was no joke.

Before, True God Yaofeng had even brought out allies to seal him away for a hundred years. Frankly, that was quite a show of force.   Even against True God-level beings, this

kind of lineup was probably unmatched.   Wang Teng could be proud of himself.   But that wasn’t the point.   The point was that once Wang Teng entered the Bright Secret Realm, he truly couldn’t show himself in front of most people,   except for his closest confidants!   Only they wouldn’t leak his information.   But given Wang Teng’s personality, he probably wouldn’t tell his closest relatives either, to avoid causing them trouble.   After all, an existence like Yaofeng True God has absolutely no bottom line.   Who knows if He might harm his family?   The best way to protect them is to avoid meeting them.   Of course, this is just in case.   Wang Teng will also arrange everything to prevent Yaofeng True God from having a chance to harm them.   As long as he is still in the Bright Secret Realm, Yaofeng True God will be restrained by him and won’t think of going to his family.   During these fifty years of seclusion, he will probably really have to live in anonymity!   Many thoughts flashed through Wang Teng’s mind, and he decided to contact his family and friends immediately after the meeting.   ”This is really troublesome!”   He sighed helplessly.   Fifty years is nothing to a martial artist, but for an ordinary person, it’s half a lifetime.   He has to take it seriously.   Especially his family, Wang Teng felt that he hadn’t made proper arrangements yet.   He had taken back quite a few pills before, which should be enough for his family to cultivate martial arts.   However, he wasn’t very confident about his family’s talents, unsure of their current strength.   Regardless, they were certainly inferior to the strongest beings in the universe.   Far inferior!   Perhaps a single universe-level martial artist would be enough to suppress beings on Earth.   Wang Teng knew this was because his growth had been too rapid, causing those around him to fall behind.   Now he stood at an extremely high level, interacting with immortal-level and even true god-level beings.   The abilities of these powerful beings were terrifying.   A casual move from them couldn’t even withstand a star field,   let alone a mere Earth .   ”Don’t worry, everyone, you are allowed to contact the outside world before entering the Bright Secret Realm,”   the Blazing True God added, seemingly understanding everyone’s concerns.   Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, and their expressions relaxed considerably.   Contact the outside world!   Finally, they could contact the outside world!   After entering this mechanical race’s god-level warship, they had been unable to contact the outside world, including the True Gods.   So, hearing that they could now contact the outside world, they were all much more at ease.   Otherwise, a mere fifty-year disappearance would indeed cause quite a stir.   The powerful figures present all possessed their own factions and couldn’t simply abandon the situation.   For their powerful organizations, the consequences of their leader’s disappearance were unimaginable. They   could even be wiped out during this time.   Such incidents had happened before.   When powerful figures ventured into secret realms and failed to emerge for extended periods, many assumed they had perished.   Then, their respective factions were seized and ultimately destroyed.   This had occurred more than once or twice.   Therefore, the powerful figures present were understandably worried.   Fifty years wasn’t a long time, nor was it short; it was enough for many things to happen.   ”Furthermore, the remaining matters are the statistics of battle merits… and the rewards!” The Blazing True God paused after speaking.   Everyone was shaken, a hint of joy appearing on their faces.   Even immortal beings couldn’t refuse battle merits and rewards.   It was entirely predictable that their battle merits and rewards would be substantial.   Those who could hold out until the end would undoubtedly reap enormous rewards.   Such is war.   Some perish, ultimately leaving nothing behind… at most, some compensation.   But in the end, it only benefits their relatives or descendants.   They themselves never get to enjoy it.   But those who survive generally reap enormous benefits.   Now is the time to redeem those benefits.   Wang Teng’s eyes lit up, a little excited.   He must have accumulated quite a few merits this time!   But he wondered how many? Could they even   keep track?   Would they miss anything?   Wang Teng was a little worried.   He couldn’t even count all the merits he had accumulated, and he didn’t know how the Bright Universe counted them.   ”What a pity! Some merits are simply impossible to mention.”   He thought of something and couldn’t help but feel regretful.

Despite being mentally prepared, the moment still brought a touch of regret.

After all, those achievements, if counted as battle merits, would be substantial.

Perhaps just one of them could rival the combined merits of some Domain Lord-level or even World Lord-level warriors.

This wasn’t an exaggeration.

Wang Teng was extremely confident in what he had done; it was something crucial enough to change the entire battle situation.

It was something those warriors could only achieve by killing Darkfolk.

The Blazing God of War swept over everyone’s expressions, a smile appearing in his eyes.

This was exactly the effect they wanted!

The previous blockade had indeed been quite heavy.

Telling everyone this good news would ease their anxieties.

Wasn’t this a different kind of carrot and stick approach?

However, when the Blazing God of War’s gaze swept over Wang Teng, a complex feeling still welled up in his heart.

This guy…

The Radiant God of War on the other side, upon hearing this, also glanced at Wang Teng imperceptibly, his heart sinking slightly.

He could scheme against Wang Teng, but this was the one thing he couldn’t change.

Wang Teng’s battle merits were undeniable!

Moreover, the calculation of battle merits wasn’t determined by these True Gods, but by a higher level.

Even so, He was still extremely displeased.

It was obvious that Wang Teng’s battle merits would be substantial.

And Him?

A True God-level being, perhaps even inferior to Wang Teng, a Domain Lord-level martial artist.

Without comparison, there is no hurt.

The mere thought of that scenario filled Yaofeng True God with unbearable anxiety and despair.   He was utterly miserable!

From   the start of the decisive battle until now, nothing had gone smoothly for him; the entire process had been nothing short of fraught with hardship.   ”Blazing True God, has the tally of our battle achievements been completed?”   Finally, an Immortal-level being couldn’t help but ask.   ”It has been completed.”   Blazing True God nodded slightly, as if knowing what everyone was thinking, and said,   ”Furthermore, everyone’s battle achievements were tallied jointly by the intelligent lifeforms of various forces, ensuring absolute fairness and impartiality!”   Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but their eyes also widened in surprise. The   tally was actually done jointly by the intelligent lifeforms of various forces!   Such a thing was quite rare.   In previous wars against the Dark Race, the final tally of battle achievements was usually done by the battlefield commander and the highest-ranking AI on the battlefield.   There was no need for the joint tally by the intelligent lifeforms of various forces!   After all, gathering the intelligent lifeforms of all forces was no easy task.   Intelligent life forms are shrouded in mystery for all factions, often kept extremely secret.   This is because intelligent life forms possess a vast amount of intelligence on each faction.   Too much contact with other factions’ intelligent life forms could lead to their information being stolen, resulting in utter disaster.   Yet this time, each faction was willing to send its own intelligent life forms to jointly tally battle achievements.   Wasn’t this like the sun rising in the west?   Amazing!   A glint flashed in Wang Teng’s eyes, and he suddenly felt somewhat relieved.   Fairness and impartiality were excellent!   He loved fairness and impartiality!   With so many intelligent life forms mobilized together, even a true god-level being would have no chance of making any underhanded moves.   Moreover, the statistics compiled by intelligent life forms should be more comprehensive.   Humans might make mistakes, but intelligent life forms generally wouldn’t.   ”I just wonder how the intelligent life forms of each faction are tallying these statistics?”   Wang Teng stroked his chin, pondering to himself.   Could it be that after the decisive battle began, intelligent life forms had already spread surveillance across the battlefield?   He hadn’t noticed this during the battle.   However, considering the capabilities of the mechanical race, he felt it was highly likely.   “Roundy, do you know how those intelligent lifeforms compile statistics?”   Wang Teng suddenly asked in his mind.   “No.”   Roundy was also puzzled and immediately replied,   “But if I’m not mistaken, it should be those advanced intelligent lifeforms who compile the statistics.”   “You don’t need to tell me that, it’s definitely those advanced intelligent lifeforms.” Wang Teng rolled his eyes.   “…” Roundy said irritably, “Didn’t you ask me? Of course I’ll tell you what I have to say.”   “I thought you could give me some constructive answers, but this is all I got?” Wang Teng shook his head inwardly.   “That’s because I don’t have enough permissions.” Roundy also rolled his eyes.   “Can you two stop arguing? Is there anything wrong?”   A cold voice suddenly rang out, interrupting their pointless conversation.   It was Icedess!   She was also listening to this meeting, and when it came to the topic of war achievements, she couldn’t help but pay more attention.   But these two things weren’t discussing war achievements, but were arguing about intelligent lifeforms.   What kind of thought process did they have?   If she could, she would have kicked them both and made them go to the side and stay quiet.   Wang Teng: “…”   Roundy: “…”   This is definitely Ice Tiss herself.   Wang Teng was utterly speechless.   This girl is truly defying the heavens, daring to speak to her master like that, it’s too much!   If he weren’t relatively easygoing, he would definitely teach her a lesson. It   ’s definitely not because she’s cowardly!   It has nothing to do with cowardice.   Really!   She’s just a mere soul of a god-level ice dragon, and it’s sealed away, what’s there to be cowardly about?   ”Your battle this time involves a relatively high level, so it’s necessary to mobilize advanced intelligent life forms from all sides.”   ”This is for balance!”   ”And also for fairness!”   Ice Tiss explained calmly.   ”Balance!” Wang Teng pondered this word, and a glimmer of understanding appeared in his heart.   Fairness and justice might be secondary, balance is the most important thing.   Where in this world is there so much fairness and justice?   It’s not that he wanted to look at the problem with such a biased perspective, but that’s just the reality.   The previous incident with True God Yaofeng was the best example.   If True God Chihuang and True God Zhulong hadn’t stood up, how could he have maintained any fairness and justice?   Honestly, it’s pretty absurd.   He chuckled inwardly, no longer thinking about fairness and justice.   ”In this world, balance is king!”   This thought flashed through Wang Teng’s mind.   ”It seems you’ve figured it out,” Icedes said calmly.   ”Thanks,” Wang Teng smiled.   ”No need. We’re practically one now, and I don’t want you to be caught off guard.”   ”While the Mechanical Race and the Candle Dragon Race have a good relationship with you now, you must maintain a proper balance and not become overly reliant on them.”   Icedes’ tone was completely flat, seemingly devoid of any personal emotion.   Wang Teng didn’t say anything more, simply keeping this in mind.   Although this female dragon was a bit cold, overall she was quite good and had given him a lot of help.   He didn’t suspect her of sowing discord.   Not at all!

Given their relationship, this wouldn’t benefit her at all.

He also understood that what she said was correct.

He had never overly relied on the Mechanical Race or the Candle Dragon Race.

Even if he did, it was only with the Virtual Universe Company, the Sub-Profession Alliance Headquarters, and the Starry Sky Academy.

He had considerable ties with these three forces.

His relationship with the Mechanical Race and the Candle Dragon Race was purely based on mutual benefit.

Gratitude can sometimes be a form of benefit!

Round and round nodded secretly; he actually held Icedess in high esteem.

Regardless, respect ultimately outweighed fear.

Now that they were all on the same side, excessive fear wasn’t necessary.

However, Icedess’s abilities and experience were undeniable; she knew far more than they did, which was undeniable.

With Icedess’s help, Wang Teng could avoid many detours.

At this moment, he felt that Icedess’s words made perfect sense; those powerful forces didn’t have fairness, only balance.

“So, Lord Blazing God, when will the battle achievements be announced?”

While Wang Teng was communicating with Icedess, an Immortal-level being asked the question everyone most wanted to know.

Everyone looked at the Blazing True God.

Wang Teng also raised his eyes, his gaze falling on the Blazing True God.

“Now!”

Under everyone’s gaze, the Blazing True God smiled slightly and slowly uttered two words. (End of Chapter)
