Chapter 1470: Distributing the Spoils (Second update, requesting everything)
In the Tian Di Qin Gong, the miserable scream of the Chaos at the Demon Emperor rank came to an abrupt end as it died, signifying that everything had finally settled.
The remains of the Heavenly Emperor and the three Demon Emperor-rank Demon Pets could not be called anything but powerful, for they managed to hold out for nearly five minutes under the siege of Li Zhangsheng and the others.
Of course, this also had to do with the Chaos being overly durable, which made Li Zhangsheng quite tempted.
As for the remains of the Heavenly Emperor, the body was covered in wounds, and the head was even separated from the torso; unexpectedly, the moment the head of the Heavenly Emperor's remains fell, the Tiandi Jinxian Crown vanished into thin air with a boom.
This treasure was like a bound item—they prospered together and perished together.
Li Zhangsheng guessed that perhaps the Artifact Spirit of the Tiandi Jinxian Crown had used a special method to possess the Heavenly Emperor's remains, and after the remains were defeated, the Artifact Spirit likewise vanished, which caused the Tiandi Jinxian Crown to be annihilated.
Of course, the above is all speculation.
After the dust settled, the group gathered together, all gazing at the Heavenly Emperor's remains with eyes full of longing and Greed.
Who present had not heard of the great achievements of the Heavenly Emperor? He was very likely the first Supreme Being in history to possess the qualifications for Dao Integration with his own body, and he ruled the Heavenly Realm for thousands of years, also possessing very strong influence in the Earth Realm, far exceeding the Profound Emperor and the Profound Empress.
Yet, such a Supreme Being who held a winning hand ended up playing his cards so poorly that he was ultimately forced to helplessly cut off the connection between heaven and earth to preserve his final dignity.
Even though the Heavenly Emperor was a failure, everyone knew how wealthy he was; it would not be an exaggeration to call him the greatest in history, even if this could only be considered a portion of the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance.
The Kunpeng snatched the River Map and Luo Scroll, which are now in Li Zhangsheng's hands; the Mysterious Yellow Precious Mirror and the Myriad Demon Banner were obtained by the Human Emperor, though the Myriad Demon Banner has now been annihilated; the Purple Gold Gourd was seized by the Human Emperor; and the Tiandi Jinxian Crown is shattered.
These were only a portion of the Heavenly Emperor's supreme treasures; the remaining treasures were on the Heavenly Emperor himself.
On the headless remains of the Heavenly Emperor, there still remained the Nine-Clawed Ancestral Dragon Robe, the Mysterious Origin Cloud-Chasing Boots, and the Dragon-Headed Cane, every one of which was a treasure at the Langhuan Supreme Treasure rank.
Among them, the Dragon-Headed Cane was even a Supreme Langhuan Treasure, belonging to the same ranks of Heavenly Court Supreme Treasure as the Mysterious Yellow Precious Mirror, the River Map and Luo Scroll, and the Nine Heavens Clear Qi Pagoda.
Besides these three supreme treasures, what the group was more concerned about was the Space Ring on the Heavenly Emperor's finger, as well as the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.
Li Zhangsheng had to divide the spoils now; the reason for doing so was mainly that the harvest was too great, and everyone present was impatient.
Although it would not be impossible to forcibly keep them in custody given his prestige, he feared planting seeds of distrust; after all, no one could determine whether Li Zhangsheng could resist the temptation, whether he would secretly intercept a portion of the harvest, or even monopolize it.
Humans are not sages, and no one could make any guarantees; it was merely a matter of whether the benefits were large enough to abandon one's principles.
Rather than that, it was better to distribute them as soon as possible.
"While we tally the harvest, we will discuss everyone's contributions. Before that, there is one more thing to do."
After finishing, Li Zhangsheng cast his gaze upon the 'corpse-lying' Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang and shouted: "Shangyang, how long do you intend to keep pretending? Of course, you can continue to play dead, but do you believe I will truly turn you into a corpse?"
As one of the dignified Ten Great Demon Marshals, how could one fall so easily?
When the Human Emperor used the Myriad Demon Banner to backfire on the true spirit, the Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang began 'playing dead,' motionless, even without a breath, looking just like a corpse.
If not for the feedback of his Mental Power allowing Li Zhangsheng to discover the trick, he might have been deceived by her; one wonders what method this fellow used.
Of course, whether they were deceived or not, the group would have dealt with Shangyang's 'corpse' anyway; it was impossible to waste it.
Hearing Li Zhangsheng say this, the others looked at the Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang with suspicious eyes.
The Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang moved slightly, then rubbed her head and climbed up from the ground with difficulty, her eyes teary, revealing a look of wanting to cry.
Unfortunately, everyone present was a Supreme Being, so Shangyang's charm was greatly reduced, and it was unlikely to have any effect.
"Alright, there is no need for nonsense. I will only ask one thing: are you willing to lead your tribe to submit to me?"
Compared to the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance, the Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang was not important, but she still had some use after all.
The Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang's breath hitched, then she took a deep breath, and finally answered with difficulty: "I am willing!"
"Very good, you may return. Perhaps there are already scoundrels eyeing the Ten Great Tribes right now; your task is to preserve the Ten Great Tribes for me. This bottle of Snow Soul Nourishing Pill is for you."
After giving instructions, Li Zhangsheng gave the Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang a bottle of Snow Soul Nourishing Pill, a type of Alchemical Pill that can restore the mind and even the soul.
The Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang had no wounds on the surface, but in reality, her soul had likely suffered significant damage.
"Many thanks, Exalted One!"
The Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang revealed a look of gratitude, poured out a pill on the spot to consume it, and then swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.
Li Zhangsheng's expression softened, and he waved his hand; the Demon Emperor-rank Shangyang, as if granted an amnesty, immediately flew toward the location of her tribe.
Before the distribution, they first had to discuss everyone's contributions.
Due to limited time, the group did not bicker much and quickly settled it.
Li Zhangsheng and his wife would take fifty percent of the contribution, Wendi, Wudi, and the Azure Emperor would take ten percent each, and each Dragon King would only have five percent.
The reason Li Zhangsheng and his wife's contribution was so high: first, Li Zhangsheng acted as the main force to break the Tiandi Pingzhang, otherwise there would not have been what followed.
Second, without Li Zhangsheng's leadership, it would have been impossible to stop the Human Emperor from seizing the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance.
Third, Li Zhangsheng's strength was the greatest, his personal contribution was absolutely the highest, and Ning Bizhen's strength was not inferior to ordinary Emperors.
Fourth, Li Zhangsheng was willing to copy a portion of the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance he obtained for everyone present at his discretion.
The 'discretion' mentioned here meant that apart from a very small portion of important secrets, the rest would be generously shared, which directly led to Li Zhangsheng and his wife holding a contribution as high as fifty percent.
The Heavenly Emperor Inheritance was seized by Li Zhangsheng and his wife, so it naturally became their spoils of war, and as for the portion of spoils the group had obtained previously, as long as they were not spoils obtained collectively, they did not need to be shared with others.
Not only that, Li Zhangsheng and his wife also possessed the priority to choose, and it was for the two of them.
"Let us put the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm aside for now!"
Li Zhangsheng said, and everyone expressed their understanding; the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm was very large, and it would likely take quite some time to explore it completely.
Li Zhangsheng opened the Heavenly Emperor's Space Ring; over ten thousand years had passed, and the Soul Imprint on this Space Ring had long since dissipated, so it could be opened easily.
Unsurprisingly, this was the largest Space Ring Li Zhangsheng had ever seen to date, bar none.
Clatter, clatter~
The next moment, Li Zhangsheng directly took out all the treasures from the ring, which almost piled up into a mountain.
