He hadnāt expected that the opponent would truly come to ask for the quota.
"Brother Bai Jiang, itās not that Iām stingy," Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Regarding the God King Realm, I canāt say that I am fully confident... This Beichen Residence quota is also very important to me."
This was indeed a refusal.
"Li Yuan, you probably donāt realize how dangerous Beichen Residence is, even top Divine Monarchs face the risk of falling," Bai Jiang Divine Monarch couldnāt help but say, "Especially someone like you, with your talent and reputation, youāre likely to be targeted by top Divine Monarchs from other forces, making it even more perilous."
"It is dangerous," Li Yuan smiled and replied, "But I have my own way, so thereās no need for Brother Bai Jiang to worry."
Bai Jiang Divine Monarch understood that if he didnāt want to completely fall out, he couldnāt pursue the matter further.
"Haha."
"Bai Jiang, youāre oversimplifying this issue," Qian Jun Divine Monarch chuckled and said, "This quota is decided by the Divine Kings, how could we privately transfer it among ourselves? If you really want the quota, you should go to the Divine Kings."
"Alright, letās not talk about it anymore."
"Itās hard for everyone to get together, letās have a drink first," Qian Jun Divine Monarch said with a smile, "The tavern recently introduced a new wine..."
Qian Jun Divine Monarchās words also helped ease the tense atmosphere.
After the banquet, the Divine Monarchs went their separate ways.
...
Returning to his palace in the Heart Dream Divine Realm.
"Not a single person is willing to yield!"
"This Li Yuan, despite the significant price Iāve paid, wonāt relent at all," Bai Jiang Divine Monarch was enraged, his eyes cold: "Has his own way?"
"Just wait!"
"I look forward to seeing you embarrass yourself at Beichen Residence," Bai Jiang Divine Monarchās eyes were filled with disdain, "Just donāt die in there."
...
Heart Dream Divine Realm, inside Li Yuanās palace.
"Little Martial Uncle, you refused Bai Jiang Divine Monarchās request?" the Sword Demon Heavenly Godās incarnation said with a laugh.
"Youāve heard?" Li Yuan laughed.
"Yes," the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed, "You refused in the Heavenly God Tavern. There were quite a few Heavenly Gods present at the time, and word has spread long since."
Li Yuan chuckled in spite of himself.
"Bai Jiang Divine Monarch is likely very angry with me," Li Yuan shook his head slightly, "In a sense, itās like I took his quota and then refused him when he came to ask me to give it up."
"Haha, Little Martial Uncle, youāve got it wrong," the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed, "What do you mean by his quota? These are quotas from the Divine Court, meant as benefits for its Divine Monarchs... Otherwise, if heās truly capable, he should earn a Beichen Residence World Token by himself."
Li Yuan couldnāt help but smile.
"Little Martial Uncle."
"Thereās no need to mind some of the rumors outside," the Sword Demon Heavenly God said, "Itās just because youāve crossed into the Heavenly God Realm not long ago... But how could others know about your talent?"
"I believe that before long, the first on the Heavenly God List will be none other than you, Little Martial Uncle," the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed.
"You didnāt come just to flatter me, did you?" Li Yuan laughed.
"Haha, you know me well, Little Martial Uncle," the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed, "Iāve been cultivating quietly recently and felt inspired. Iām planning to return to the Divine Court and cultivate for a while, maybe Iāll comprehend an ultimate Heavenly God move all at once."
"Oh?" Li Yuanās eyes lit up.
With the Sword Demon Heavenly Godās foundation, once he comprehends an ultimate Heavenly God move, heād have the combat power of a Divine Monarch.
"This is wonderful news," Li Yuan laughed, "You should go ahead."
...
Jue Xing Emperor Palace, Space Divine Ruins, the independent space where Li Yuanās true self resides.
"So many rumors."
"All because my ranking on the Heavenly God List is too low," Li Yuan whispered to himself, "Besides me, the other 39 Divine Monarchs, the lowest rank on the Heavenly God List is more than four hundred."
Being ranked above four hundred isnāt necessarily weaker than the three hundredth.
After all, strength encompasses many aspects... And this ranking is just for the Starry Sky Divine Court. The highest level of the Chaos Divine Court knows its members better and has its views.
But generally, the ranking disparity shouldnāt be too outrageous.
Li Yuan is only ranked 866th, compared to other Divine Monarchs... naturally, rumors fly.
"If I show top Divine Monarch strength, no one would doubt me," Li Yuan silently thought, "Thereās only a few decades left before Beichen Residence opens."
"All eight Perfect Star Techniques of my true self have been practiced to their Seventh Rank Extreme, itās time to act on some matters."

Li Yuan flipped his palm, from which an entire world emerged, and within that world stood a palace.
"Sister Gu You," Li Yuan transmitted his voice.
"Itās time to avenge Teacher Gu Ju."
