Chapter 149: The Demigod's Request

These past few days of continuous battle.

He had defeated many geniuses of the Dawn Radiance Clan.

On one hand, Gune wanted to display his own strength.

To let the powerful figures of the Dawn Radiance Clan know that as a vassal of a great existence, Gune Lawrence was no mere showpiece.

Even in a large transcendent world, as a vassal of a great existence, he ranked among the top geniuses.

As for the geniuses of your clan, I can take care of them all in no time.

On the other hand, he naturally needed to steer the conversation toward the matter of the Blood Dream Arena.

Anyway, Gune was in no hurry regarding the Blood Dream Arena.

If the other party did not approach him, after the altar was built and the sacrifice completed, Gune would then bring up the matter.

If they saw his strength and wished to negotiate with him, he could casually mention it, which would be reasonable.

After all, during this time, Gune had already completed the spell modifications for entering and leaving the Blood Dream Arena, the overall framework of the arena, and the contribution levels within it.

For instance:

Level zero contributor: upon death, loses a large amount of blood energy.

Level one contributor: upon death, loses a moderate amount of blood energy.

Level two contributor: upon death, loses a small amount of blood energy.

Level three contributor: upon death, loses a trace amount of blood energy.

Level four contributor...

...

The varying levels of authority among different tiers.

In every aspect, Gune had listed them in detail and constructed the world framework.

After all, constructing world frameworks was his forte; his profound world essence was not gained in vain.

And to contribute and obtain a certain level of authority, the method was simple: sacrifice. The more one sacrificed, the higher the authority.

Now, with a powerful figure like Kakaro suddenly visiting, Gune speculated that the other party likely wanted to discuss what they could gain.

Senior Kakaro.

When he reached Kakaro, Gune spoke.

After all, he was a divine envoy-level powerhouse, and due respect was necessary.

Lord Patriarch, he has important matters to discuss with you, Kakaro said.

Mm, Gune nodded lightly.

I'll tidy up here and then go over.

No problem, Kakaro nodded with a smile.

Watching Gune enter the room, Kakaro began to ponder.

Originally, they had been somewhat dissatisfied with this foreign genius Gune and the agreement he had reached with the Patriarch.

After all, this Gune Lawrence seemed to be nothing more than a high-level transcendent.

How could the Patriarch trust such a person so much?

But in the past few days, all the transcendent beings who had complaints fell silent.

And the reason was simple.

This Gune Lawrence, a powerful vassal and top genius, had fully demonstrated his formidable strength, which was simply terrifying.

Others might not see it, but how could these top experts fail to notice?

The fierce battles that seemed to last ten minutes or even longer.

The geniuses of their clan had all given their all.

But this Gune was completely at ease, handling everything with ease.

Assassin-type transcendent beings, those with strong concealment abilities, spell-type transcendent beings, soul-attack specialists, and combat-type transcendent beings with comprehensive abilities—they had all tried.

But all of them lost.

Not a single one could match Gune.

In fact, none could even force Gune to reveal his true core techniques.

Having seen how powerful this Gune Lawrence was, these people finally shut up completely, daring no longer to raise any objections.

...

About half an hour later.

Led by Kakaro, Gune once again arrived at the tower study of Sogra Kadlec, the Patriarch of the Dawn Radiance Clan.

Please have a seat, Gune.

Closing his book, Sogra Kadlec looked at Gune.

How do you find the strength of our clan's transcendent beings after these days of battle? Sogra Kadlec asked gently after Gune sat down.

Not bad, but there are no truly top-tier geniuses, Gune replied.

Gune was telling the truth.

Previously, at the entrance to the Elemental Forbidden Ground, the alien genius warrior who had comprehended the essence of light was clearly a cut above the geniuses of the Dawn Radiance Clan.

Although his own strength had also improved during this time, at least that warrior had forced Gune to use some of his techniques.

But against these geniuses of the Dawn Radiance Clan, Gune could kill them all with ordinary spells and his casting speed alone.

Indeed.

Sogra Kadlec did not refute Gune's words.

Sogra Kadlec also knew the strength of top transcendent geniuses.

The geniuses of their clan, placed in the vast large transcendent world, were indeed somewhat lacking.

After a moment of thought, Sogra Kadlec slowly spoke.

Although our clan has seen some improvement over these hundreds of years, we have not produced many geniuses.

Moreover, among these geniuses, it is rare to find any who are truly top-tier.

Your talent, Gune, is rarely seen in the world. At such a young age, you possess such astonishing strength. If you were to unleash your full power, I fear even an ordinary transcendent master might not be your match! Sogra Kadlec praised.

Transcendent masters are not so easily dealt with, Gune replied inwardly.

As a vassal of a great existence, do you have any methods to help our clan revive?

If you can help us, we will surely reward you handsomely.

Here it comes...

Hearing Sogra Kadlec's words, Gune thought to himself.

This Dawn Radiance Clan, which possessed a demigod-level powerhouse, had built an altar and offered sacrifices to the great existence.

At the same time, they treated Gune as an honored guest.

They allowed him to freely read the many texts in the tower.

Apart from Sogra Kadlec himself, only a few divine envoys and ancestral spirit-level experts in their clan could enter the tower and read freely.

Treating Gune so generously, their clan certainly hoped to gain something in return.

Directly seeking help from the great Nightmare Lord was clearly not an option.

If the great Nightmare Lord ignored them, the clan would lose the powerful patron they had worked so hard to secure.

Now, by having Sogra Kadlec directly ask Gune for help, there was room for negotiation.

Lord Sogra Kadlec, do you know why I am so powerful? Gune asked with a hint of playfulness.

Sogra Kadlec's expression tightened: I would be glad to hear it.

Because... I have undergone thousands of life-and-death battles, constantly honing and breaking through in life-or-death situations. That is why I have my current strength, Gune said.

Oh? Thousands of life-and-death battles? Sogra Kadlec frowned.

Surviving one or two, or even three to five life-and-death battles, is already commendable.

But surviving thousands? That's... too unbelievable!

Of course.

Gune spoke slowly.

The life-and-death battles are real. I faced top-tier opponents, beings who might become vassals of the great Nightmare Lord—some from other large transcendent worlds, others super geniuses from high-dimensional transcendent worlds.

The life-and-death struggle is real, but death in those battles is not necessarily true death.

Gune said softly.

Oh? Sogra Kadlec's expression shifted slightly.

Vaguely, he had grasped the key point.

Contacting geniuses from many transcendent worlds, engaging in life-and-death battles, yet this is not true death?

Sogra Kadlec looked at Gune and asked thoughtfully.

Some kind of near-real dream battle?

Sogra Kadlec looked at Gune and asked thoughtfully.

Some kind of near-real dream battle?
