Chapter 67: The Shepherd Goat

Inside a relatively secluded small chamber.

Gunie sat cross-legged with eyes closed.

This place was a secret contact point between Gunie and Duolansi.

It could only be reached through a special teleportation array, making it impossible to trace.

Although the rental price was high, it was safe.

"These odds are a bit low!"

After a long while, Gunie opened his eyes.

At this moment, Gunie's demonic secondary soul was in the betting area.

When that powerful nine-star, four-level being called "The Shepherd Goat" challenged Gunie, and Gunie accepted,

the betting naturally opened.

The odds for Gunie winning were slightly higher, between 0.2 and 0.3. In the past, even 0.1 was unavailable.

As for that guy called The Shepherd Goat, his odds were between 7 and 9.

Previously, the odds for Gunie losing fluctuated between 10 and 15.

Vaguely, Gunie sensed something unusual.

That was that this guy called The Shepherd Goat was an extremely powerful being, possibly one who had slain terrifying existences like divine envoys and ancestral spirits.

This was information Gunie deduced from the betting.

Specific details would have to wait until Duolansi arrived.

Just as Gunie was pondering,

"Buzz..."

The transcendent door lit up.

Gunie stood up and opened the transcendent door.

Outside the door stood Duolansi.

After letting Duolansi in, Gunie closed the small chamber again and sealed the entire room.

"All the information on that guy called 'The Shepherd Goat' is here. I got it from several people."

With that, Duolansi handed a ring to Gunie.

Taking it, Gunie immediately began examining the stored battle footage and related materials.

After more than half an hour of investigation, Gunie withdrew his soul consciousness from the materials in the ring.

"How is it?" Duolansi asked.

"This guy is an extremely powerful expert," Gunie said solemnly.

"The information clearly shows that this guy called The Shepherd Goat easily reached the nine-star, four-level rank. His last battle was twenty-eight years ago."

"The battle before that was fifty-two years ago."

"As for earlier battles, there's no need to look at the years."

"That long?" Duolansi frowned. "That makes it hard to deduce his strength."

"We can still infer his strength from the clues," Gunie said softly.

"And in every battle, he won easily, clearly not using his full power."

"This Shepherd Goat should be a peculiar being trapped at the peak of the ninth transcendent rank."

"Even, I suspect he has divine sense, the strength of an ancestral spirit-level being."

"From the betting, it's also clear that many people are very optimistic about this Shepherd Goat."

"So... what do we do?" Duolansi looked at Gunie.

"I'm not afraid of him winning; I'm afraid he'll die," Gunie said softly.

"You mean, this guy might be here to die?" Duolansi was somewhat surprised.

"That's hard to say," Gunie shook his head slightly.

"After all, judging by his age, he really doesn't have much longer to live."

"But if he truly seeks death, this guy is very powerful and may not be willing to die."

"You see, this makes the suspense of this battle quite intriguing, and the betting stakes are very tempting."

Gunie's analysis made Duolansi's eyes twitch slightly.

"Just tell me, how should we bet this time?" Duolansi said bluntly.

Gunie's eyes narrowed, and he rubbed his palms slightly.

After thinking for several minutes, Gunie finally made a decision.

"Earlier, I wanted to go all out for a reversal. Actually, if the odds are good, taking multiple rounds with compound interest could yield far more sacred source coins than a single reversal."

"And this guy called The Shepherd Goat is clearly a good start."

"Bet everything on me winning," Gunie said seriously, looking at Duolansi.

"Are you sure?" Duolansi looked at Gunie.

"If I said I haven't even used a tenth of my strength, would you believe me?"

Duolansi was stunned for a moment, then exhaled: "You really are a monster."

Gunie laughed.

"Now, my odds are 0.26. Over time, this number should normally rise. We'll bet when it's around 0.3."

"All in?"

"Yes, all in." Gunie nodded.

"Understood." Duolansi nodded solemnly.

After some discussion, the two left quietly.

Gunie returned to his previous chamber and sat down cross-legged to calm his mind.

Gunie used Blood Origin: Great Blood Dream Curse to arrive at the Holy Feather Dark Source Continent.

As soon as he entered, he sensed the auras of over thirty extremely powerful divine envoys and ancestral spirits.

At that moment, these divine envoys and ancestral spirits were fully engaged in expanding the Blood Dream Space.

After a careful inspection, a smile curled at the corner of Gunie's mouth.

"This Holy Feather Dark Source arena is probably as large as a big city. These divine envoys and ancestral spirits are expanding it really fast."

"The capacity..." Gunie sensed carefully.

"Hmm... it can hold about four to five hundred thousand people. At this rate, it will soon accommodate a million transcendents. But for a large transcendent world like Holy Feather Dark Source, a million capacity is still small. An estimated hundred million capacity might barely suffice."

"To fully meet demand, probably two to three hundred million capacity, given the large transcendent world's transcendent base."

"For the Oya Continent, a capacity of five to six hundred thousand would satisfy all transcendents, at most a million."

After observing, Gunie went straight to the fourth level.

Feeling Gunie's arrival, Sugra looked over.

Gunie spoke directly: "Senior, how is the fund preparation?"

"Twenty-two million sacred source coins were borrowed. No interest is needed; these are interest-free loans. After all, many people are eager to enter the Blood Dream Space," Sugra said after a moment's thought.

Previously, borrowing was rushed, but now with ample time and interest-free loans, and since Sugra said so, Gunie saw no need to insist.

"Additionally, three million came from selling Blood Dream rings during this period."

"And two million is my personal donation."

"Total twenty-seven million sacred source coins. Please count them, Lord Gunie." With that, Sugra handed the Blood Dream ring to Gunie.

"This is too kind," Gunie said with a smile.

Despite saying that, Gunie took the Blood Dream ring.

"Lord Gunie, please don't stand on ceremony. Our clan has always faithfully served the great Nightmare Lord, without any disloyalty," Sugra said.

"I know that. I believe the great Nightmare Lord can also feel your sincerity."

"Also, regarding the matters I mentioned earlier, have you considered and inquired about them?"

Gunie asked.

Gunie had contacted Sugra several times recently.

The matters mentioned were three points.

First, the introduction of Blood Dream coins.

Second, the expansion and occupation of small and medium transcendent worlds around Holy Feather Dark Source.

Third, Gunie asked Sugra to inquire about information on cross-realm treasures.

These things were all related to Gunie's occupation of various transcendent worlds from the Blood Dream level.

Many things couldn't all be done by Gunie himself.

For example, this occupation model using the Blood Dream arena as a spearhead.

If Gunie had to occupy each world one by one, no matter how energetic he was, he couldn't occupy the countless transcendent worlds.

By using his followers to occupy worlds one by one and build Blood Dream arenas, the snowball would slowly roll. A large number of transcendent worlds would be incorporated into the system under Gunie's control.

At that time, Gunie would just sit back and receive tributes.
