Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Dennis was wavering yet again.

The fact that a Mortal Deity had a Starlight Stone was already hard enough for him to accept. Now, casually cracking open a stone to find a Multi-eyed Golden Centipede larva from the ancient times was one thing, but the larva's behavior was completely unexpected.

He seriously suspected he was being played.

Thus, he could only telepathically ask his great-grandfather Osric for advice.

"Great-grandfather, are you sure this person is just at the Mortal Deity level of power?"

As expected, William intercepted the message.

"What else do you think? Do you think he's at the Absolute Deity level? Or perhaps a high-ranking god king?"

Even in intercepting, William didn't deny anything directly, leaving everything to the young man's imagination.

Hearing this, Dennis felt it made sense.

Which Absolute Deity or high-ranking god king would bother coming to the third zone just to mess with him?

Impossible!

Impossible!

Dennis took a deep breath, a flash of determination in his eyes, and said to William, "I admit I've lost, but I don't have that many energy crystals on me. Come with me, and I'll get them for you!"

Lost?

Indeed, he had lost. But once they left the Sacred Gem Exchange, William would lose the protection of the Sacred Gem Exchange, and then, killing and looting, all the treasures would be his.

Regardless of whether William was pretending to be weak, in his view, with his great-grandfather there, and his great-grandfather's firm stance, there was nothing to fear!

It must be that his great-grandfather coveted the treasures on these young people, but due to his status, it wouldn't be right for him to act, so he let him do it.

It had to be this!

Thinking this, a smug smile appeared on Dennis's lips.

Truly worthy of my clever self!

Always able to think what my great-grandfather is thinking!

Upon hearing Dennis's words, Osric almost fainted on the spot.

Good heavens!

Are you planning to take him home with you?

Do you think your family is living too peacefully and you wish for annihilation?

Dennis glanced at his great-grandfather and saw Osric smiling and nodding at him gently, confirming his thoughts were correct.

Hearing Dennis say this, William also smiled, "So, you plan to take me away from this Sacred Gem Exchange and then find a place to kill and loot, right?"

Dennis frowned.

This youngster was quite astute, but his attitude seemed to confirm that his strength wasn't great.

If he were truly powerful, why would he fear such things?

"Let's wait a bit! My wife probably wants to open some more ores. After that, I'll go get the energy crystals with you." William wasn't in a hurry. Honestly, debts must always be repaid, and he never feared owing money.

Alice also came back to her senses, right, she came here to open stones, how did it turn into William making all the moves?

She wondered if William would give her the five thousand energy crystals he won, and if not,

Giving her a thousand would seem reasonable.

Alice started picking out raw crystal ores in the courtyard again, and the number of people in the courtyard was increasing.

Dennis and Jacob became somewhat nervous, no longer provoking William and Alice.

At this time, they dared not be too conspicuous,most importantly, they needed to find a way to make William and Alice follow them.

In their view, William and Alice were their prey, but the sudden appearance of so many competitors made them uneasy.

Alice used a divine art of clairvoyance to gamble on stones, which was noticed by those around.

This was the power of the Holy Aura!

A thing that made countless people envious, yet this extraordinary ability resided in Alice, a mere Mortal Deity, making her an object of covetousness.

In a place like the Divine Realm, almost everyone is thinking about becoming stronger.

For those above the power level of a Nature Deity, seeking further breakthroughs often requires some fortuitous opportunities, which typically come with their own risks.

This is precisely such an opportunity.

As for whether Alice and William have any significant backing,

That's within their considerations, but not enough to make them retreat.

The journey from being an ordinary person to becoming a Soulmancer, then entering the Divine Realm to become a Mortal Deity, and continuously growing stronger, is in itself an act against the natural laws.

Who, after mastering this method of becoming stronger, would willingly remain an ordinary person?

Given the chance, they might even aspire to replace higher-tier god-kings.

The power of the Holy Aura!

As long as the higher-tier god-kings don't intervene, they see an opportunity for themselves.

Many eyes are greedily fixed on William and Alice, but Alice is no longer panicking.

Whatever William said before, everything depends on her, but now she has gained clarity.

William might put her in dangerous situations, but he would never let anything truly bad happen to her.

Humph!

This boy, so dense in matters of love!

William's strength is Alice's greatest reliance, and her mental state has undergone significant changes.

Who cares about other powerhouses?

None are as strong as William!

With such a powerful support, what does she have to fear?

Though William allows those around to gauge Alice's power level, the oppressive aura emitted by these individuals has no effect on Alice.

Under the gaze of many powerhouses, Alice casually picks stones, unabashedly using the power of the Holy Aura.

This makes the onlookers envious, but considering this is the territory of the Sacred Gem Exchange, nobody dares to make a move.

William simply watches from the side, sensing that Alice's mindset has indeed shifted.

She has truly adapted to her new life now. Under the gaze of many powerful beings, she chose three ores and sold them on the spot, ending up with twenty thousand energy crystals.

"This ore! I'll take it!" Alice, eyeing the raw crystal ore she initially chose but didn't buy, spoke with a tone increasingly resembling William's.

Leander, having spent a long time at the Sacred Gem Exchange, had never seen such a grand spectacle.

At least ten Destroyer Deity-level and three Creator Deity-level beings were currently surrounding the courtyard.Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

All of them were watching Alice cut the raw crystal ore.

Alice, with a calm demeanor, watched Leander cut the ore three times before she herself summoned the Sword of Soulbreaker, intending to try cutting the stone.

A Creator Deity-level powerhouse gasped upon seeing the Sword of Soulbreaker.

"That powerful divine sword that caused such a huge energy fluctuation within the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods area, was it this sword's doing? It's hard to imagine how many powerful beings have died by this sword!"

"Who exactly is this girl? Wrapped in the power of the Holy Aura, wielding a divine sword that is no less than any top-tier divine artifact, and that tendon on her wrist seems to have been taken from a powerful divine beast."

"Mortal Deity level? Is she really just a mere Mortal Deity?"

Everything seemed so peculiar!

Even the Creator Deities were feeling uneasy now.

The desire to become stronger is normal, but to rob others of their treasures is another matter.

Even if one considers killing for treasure, the strength of the opponent must be assessed!

Just like how some high-tier god-kings possess the power of the Holy Aura, yet no one dares to rob them?

Alice became even more mysterious in their eyes.

Under the scrutiny of so many powerhouses, Alice remained calm. This demeanor clearly showed she didn't regard them highly,how confident must she be?

"Young girl, I am the Cepheus Guardian of Lumina Crest, possessing the strength of a Creator Deity. Seeing a connection with you today, I wish to take you as my disciple. What do you say?" Finally, a Creator Deity couldn't resist any longer and extended an invitation to Alice.

By coaxing this young girl to his side, he saw an opportunity to seize her treasures and the power of the Holy Aura, assuming, of course, she was indeed just at the Mortal Deity level.

It was uncertain, but worth probing.

Alice slowly turned around, glanced at the Cepheus Guardian, and scoffed, saying, "A mid-stage Creator Deity-level strength? You wish to take me as your disciple? Do you think you're worthy?"

Such an arrogant stance was clearly disdainful!
