Chapter 3887 Void Gambling City: [Eslord]
Odin naturally felt that Raguel's words were unfair... but the law of survival in the void has always been like this—those minor realms that were once exploited by the realm of Asgard were also exploited in the past.
In fact, if it weren't for this major Waterloo in the attack on the 003 small world, Odin wouldn't have had to be so subservient.
It's really human beings who count as gods.
"Lord Raguel, please rest assured, even if the realm of Asgard perishes, I guarantee that the offering will be made on schedule!"
At this moment, Odin's face showed no displeasure whatsoever; on the contrary, he seemed quite excited!
"You're sensible." Raguel smiled calmly, then added with a grin, "Actually, I'm still very optimistic about Asgard... In the future, Asgard will still be the leader in that area. Keep up the good work!"
"You flatter me, my lord." Odin bowed his head and said, "I am merely doing my best to serve the Kingdom of Heaven."
Raguel narrowed his eyes slightly—with such coercion, when was Asgard planning to turn against them?
"By the way, you mentioned two things earlier. What's the second thing?"
“It’s like this,” Odin said cautiously, “I originally intended to visit you at the banquet earlier, but I was summoned by the Ziwei Emperor of the Heavenly Court on the way…”
Raguel asked casually, "The Heavenly Court... did the Ziwei Emperor say anything?"
“No!” Odin quickly replied, “I only had a brief encounter with the Ziwei Emperor during an exploration of a secret realm. He only asked me about the aftermath of what happened back then.”
“Since it’s just a minor matter, there’s no need to report it.” [Raguel] nodded slightly.
Odin said sincerely, "It's not a small matter... I think it's necessary to inform you to avoid any misunderstandings."
“You… are very good.” [Raguel] narrowed his eyes at the other party. “Well then, since the people from [Heavenly Court] are here as well, if that [Emperor Ziwei] comes looking for you again, you can decide what to do.”
"I understand..."
……
After learning that Lord Raguel had been invited by Odin, an angel led his angels to find and wait for him.
The meeting was short. Just as the Archangel arrived, Raguel and Odin emerged from their pleasant conversation.
"Little God, I would like to send you my best regards!"
"That's fine then." [Raguel] waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to see him off, before glancing at the angels who had come to greet him.
Surrounded by angels, he slowly departed.
Odin, standing at the entrance to the reception room, gradually regained his composure after his initial excitement and respect, his gaze as still as dead water. "Ah... Heaven."
……
"My lord, what does Odin want with you?"
"Playing the victim," Raguel said calmly. "And incidentally, showing loyalty...who knows?"
The Archangel hurriedly said, "My lord, I have learned that when Asgard invaded World 003, it seems to have suffered a great loss of power... The entire realm lost at least half of its strength, and many gods died."
Raguel shook his head.
The exploding rainbow bridge was so dazzling that he already knew about it when he arrived... As for the Asgardian realm's stubborn attempt to invade the 003 small world, it can only be said to be some kind of operation by the three giants of the void.
Everyone knows that place is dangerous. Sneaking in secretly and maneuvering to create some chaos is fine, but a large-scale invasion...
However, this was a tacit understanding between the three giants, and the information was kept very secret, so much so that even the major and minor forces in the various buffer zones could not know about it.
Perhaps, in fact, there was still this thought:
—That is to see which headstrong kid really dares to test the waters...maybe it will allow the three giants to watch from the sidelines and gain insight into some secrets of the 003 little world.
……
The second thing Odin said was essentially meaningless—many people at the banquet knew about it, so it would easily have reached him—therefore…
...Perhaps, if I loosen my stance on the matter of the donation, then the real "second" thing will happen?
Raguel thought for a moment and said, "The Asgardian realm has suffered a severe blow this time. In order to raise enough offerings, they will probably become very frantic and exploit the surrounding minor realms even more severely..."
The Archangel said, "As far as I know, over the past few eras, the minor divine realms surrounding Asgard have long harbored resentment towards its domineering ways. My lord, what do you mean?"
"A disobedient dog, just get a new one," [Raguel] said calmly, then walked away with his hands behind his back.
……
……
When Raguel met Odin, the Emperor Ziwei also saw the person from the Heavenly Court... a kind-looking, amiable old man with a white beard.
"This humble god greets Your Majesty!"
"I didn't expect it to be you... Venus." Emperor Ziwei was slightly surprised, but it was also reasonable - after all, the person in front of him was the exclusive mouthpiece of the Heavenly Court.
Venus has a very high appearance rate; he's a veteran actor.
Then Venus bowed respectfully and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, upon learning that the Emperor had arrived here earlier, immediately issued a decree ordering this humble deity to come and await the Emperor's command! Accompanying this humble deity are not only the Four Heavenly Kings, but also 20,000 heavenly soldiers. As long as the Emperor gives the order, all the heavenly soldiers and generals will immediately take up their posts here, ensuring that the Emperor's prestige is not diminished!"
Then, the Purple Emperor's hand trembled instantly, "Snatch...Snatch Young Master?!"
"Your Majesty, the Four Heavenly Kings, and 20,000 heavenly soldiers!" Venus hurriedly said, "If you feel it's not enough, I'll go and bring more! It'll be quick!"
—I'm going to be bankrupted by you, you old charlatan!
Twenty thousand heavenly soldiers moved in, even if they were in the worst guest rooms... how much would that cost? — Even you, you old charlatan, I want to kick you back right now!
"No! No need!" [Emperor Ziwei] took a deep breath. "Tell the Four Heavenly Kings not to come... What's the point of sending so many people? Do you even know what kind of place this is? Will sending more people make any difference? Let them wait outside the realm!"
“This…” Taibai Jinxing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, “I will obey the Emperor’s decree… Oh, right, this is what His Majesty asked me to give you.”
After saying this, Venus presented a golden scroll to the Emperor Ziwei.
This is a secret letter written by the Jade Emperor himself. It roughly means that the Ziwei Emperor should act prudently at this auction and try to avoid friction with the Heavenly Kingdom. In addition, he ordered Taibai Jinxing to send the auction funds so that the Ziwei Emperor could buy any good items he sees.
Also, after the auction, [Emperor Ziwei] should set off immediately so as not to delay his mission—to attend the ceremony at the [Science Side].
Taking it easy... [Emperor Ziwei] has been doing this all along, without needing to explicitly state it—therefore, what the Emperor cares about is the funds sent by Venus!
"Your Majesty, you are still quite particular!"
—This godforsaken place is a real money pit!
"His Majesty is indeed very considerate of his subjects," Taibai Jinxing said with emotion. "By the way, Your Majesty, when I first arrived, someone asked if I needed to check in... Shall I go and register first?"
"...No need." [Emperor Ziwei] said abruptly, "I still have room. You can squeeze in with [Zhenwu] for the next few days. Good steel should be used on the blade."
Then Venus smiled and slowly bowed to Zhenwu, saying, "Then this humble god will disturb the Great Emperor Zhenwu."
[Zhenwu]: "??"
—No, Your Majesty, I followed you in countless battles, risking my life and shedding my blood…

The void... [Magic side].
A sky full of dazzling stars—in the directionless void, [Xin Shisan] felt as if he were in a real ocean of stars.
Although he was already tired of this feeling, he was still greatly shocked by Mr. Gao's methods!
They crossed the side wall directly from the Mythological side and arrived at the Magic side?
Just what level is Mr. Gao...? He should at least be at least a master like Huiyue, right?
Then, Gao Chang Gong, dressed in white, said coolly, "The world has changed dramatically, and the evolution of the [magic side] has been quite significant... but this star field remains the same as always."
Xin Shisan quickly said, "Sir, I encountered the gambling city [Eslold] here last time... The gambling city always stays in one place for a while, so they shouldn't have left yet. Please wait for me, I have the gambling city's credentials, I should be able to find their exact location!"
After saying that, Xin Shisan quickly took out a golden badge with a capital "G" on it.
Gao Changgong simply watched this guy's actions silently.
The [G] badge quickly sensed this and shot a golden beam of light directly into the void—then, a golden vortex slowly opened at the end of the beam.
Xin Shisan's face lit up with joy. "Ha, it seems the casino is nearby, otherwise they wouldn't have opened their doors so easily! We're really lucky this time."
"Is that so?" Gao Changgong replied indifferently. "Perhaps."
When was the last time I came to Eslord?
This memory is so distant that it has become blurred—however, it could also be due to the gambling city lord's ability: [Forgetfulness].
"Sir, let's go inside quickly!"
"Ah."
The two passed through the golden portal without any trouble. After the dazzling light blinded them, a colossal complex of buildings, as large as an entire continent, appeared before them, suspended in the void.
So golden!
The entire continent was made of gold!
"I've heard that the owner of the gambling city has a passion for gold, so the entire city of [Eslord] is made of gold, hence its other name, [The City of Gold]!" [Xin Shisan] exclaimed excitedly. "Oh... someone as great as you, sir, would surely know such things, hehe!"
Gao Changgong said calmly, "Have you met the owner of the gambling city?"
Xin Shisan paused for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said, "How could a nobody like me be qualified to see the master of Eslord... I have seen Anna, one of the twelve gold dealers under the master of Eslord, from afar... Hey, her appearance, tsk tsk!"
"You talk too much," Old Gao said coolly.
Xin Shisan quickly slapped his mouth, then said, "Sir, what kind of activity would you like to play? Although I've never met the owner of Eslord, I know this place like the back of my hand! Whatever you want to play, I can take you there right away... Oh, do you see that gantry over there? That's the main hall for the challenge tournament I was talking about!"
The enormous gantry, clearly visible even at the edge of the Golden Continent, was now surrounded by a multitude of lights of various shapes and sizes, some strong, some weak... including the light of the Morning Star and the light of the Radiant Moon.
But Gao Changgong flew directly into the depths of [Eslord].
Xin Shisan's expression froze, because the direction Mr. Gao flew towards was none other than the core of Eslord—the Golden Palace!
"Sir, the most elite troops of [Eslord] are stationed there, you mustn't..."
That's too late!
Mr. Gao appeared before the Golden Palace, which was floating above the continent, at an incredible speed!
In an instant, hundreds of terrifying auras shot out from the Golden Palace, then coalesced into the Golden Guard, the most powerful defensive force in Eslord!
When Xin Shisan saw it, he was almost scared out of his wits...
"How dare they be skilled in the [Golden Palace]!"
Under the overwhelming pressure, Gao Changgong stood with his hands behind his back, merely glancing indifferently at the Golden Guard, and slowly said, "Lord Meng, Gao Changgong has come to visit. Please grant me an audience."
The members of the Golden Guard all narrowed their eyes slightly: How does this guy know his master's name?
Aside from the Golden Guard and the twelve Golden croupiers... the master's name is never revealed—even the wealthy tycoons of the casino only know her nickname, the Golden Empress.
"Sir... do you know my master?" the guard captain suddenly asked.
Gao Changgong did not answer this time.
Just then, the gates of the Golden Palace in the sky slowly opened, and a majestic, mature female voice rang out: "Come in."
The Golden Guard was truly shocked this time... The Golden Palace opened its doors to welcome guests—something that hadn't happened in years.
"Honored guest, please!"
The members of the Golden Guard were also perceptive; they immediately put away their weapons, lined up in two rows, and bowed their heads in unison to wait.
Gao Changgong lightly touched the ground with his toes and floated past.
Upon seeing this, Xin Shisan was immediately startled and chased after Gao Changgong without saying a word—but was instantly intercepted by the Golden Guard.
“I’m with you, sir!” [Xin Shisan] quickly said!
The master of Eslord, just to be able to meet him... how many Void Eras would it take to do that!
"The master will only receive that distinguished guest! No one else is allowed to approach!" the commander sneered. "You may wait here!"
"Sir! Sir, please take me with you!! Sir!!" [Xin Shisan] shouted loudly.
Then, Gao Changgong went in... went... went.
……
Inside the Golden Palace... here, the main color is dark red, a color like an abyss, giving people a chilling feeling.
Gao Changgong walked slowly into the enormous palace—a place where he could not even sense the presence of any living beings.
Clearly, the area had been cleared before I entered.
Beneath the dark red dome, on the golden throne, sat a girl dressed in a red blazer, a black pleated skirt, with long, straight black hair and blood-red eyes.
The girl looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old... At this moment, she was resting her chin on her hand, sizing up Gao Chang Gong who was approaching from below the steps.
“Gao Chang Gong…it’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name.”
His dark red pupils gleamed faintly... making him seem more like an abyss, a man-eating abyss.
Gao Changgong slightly raised his head, as if trying his best to etch the girl's stunning beauty into his memory... to remember this face.
