Chapter 1560

~7 min read 1,343 words

Number Five God Star could never have imagined that he would just send someone to look at the remains, and then both the remains and the guard would vanish. It was like asking someone to look at a homestead, only to turn around and find the homestead gone. In this day and age, do people even steal homesteads?

Number Five God Star immediately thought of Anthony, because the remains disappeared only after they had been there; he was the primary suspect.

However, he couldn't find Anthony in the Abyss point, only Silver Coin. Just as he was preparing to interrogate him, Silver Coin asked with composure:

"Lord Number Five God Star, you say it is your remains, but may I ask how you prove that? When we arrived, the God Tree was still alive, so the ownership of the remains should belong to the Tree God, right?"

"You can't just point at remains that have a Tree God from dozens of sections away and claim they are yours. If I were to point a circle around the void, wouldn't all the remains become mine?" Silver Coin said with reason and evidence.

Number Five God Star had never experienced such a debate. Upon thinking about it, it actually sounded quite reasonable, and he suddenly lost his momentum: "But I was the one who gave you the location..."

Silver Coin asked suspiciously: "Are you saying that because you exposed his location, he belongs to you? Then if I tell others your location, do you become mine?"

"You..." Number Five God Star was speechless. When it came to the ownership of products, even if Anthony came, he might not be able to out-argue the God of Profiteers.

Silver Coin said: "The God Tree of the Star-Migrator's remains is still alive, so its ownership undoubtedly belongs to the God Tree. We don't need to argue about this, unless you come over to snatch it."

Before Number Five God Star could erupt, Silver Coin continued: "Besides, you don't even want the remains."

"I... I want these remains! I don't want..." Number Five God Star was furious.

If he didn't want these remains, why would he spend so much energy on this, projecting himself across different branches? He hadn't expected that just by letting them take a look, the remains would be gone, like a meat bun thrown at a dog.

"No, what you want is a Star-Migrator that possesses the ability to migrate stars, not a set of remains. If it doesn't have the migration ability, even if it's resurrected, would you want it!" Silver Coin said sternly.

As a profiteer, he had seen too many people with incorrect perceptions of their own needs, having no idea what they actually wanted.

When a man says he has a weak kidney, he definitely doesn't feel weak himself; selling him kidney-tonifying medicine is useless. He needs the little blue pill.

Now, Number Five God Star was like a man who didn't understand his true needs. He thought that obtaining the Star-Migrator's remains would be enough, but in reality, it wouldn't. What he wanted wasn't the remains at all, but the star-migration ability.

Number Five God Star felt as if his soul had been struck by lightning; he didn't speak for a long while.

Silver Coin didn't wait for him to think it over and continued: "You don't even need a Star-Migrator with migration ability, because a single Star-Migrator cannot migrate you into the Boundless Land. What you need is a chance to be migrated into the Boundless Land. That is your true need. You don't understand your needs at all."

As the God of Profiteers, Silver Coin was naturally proficient in swindling, the kind like Lisa's "How can you treat your own face like that."

"Ask yourself: a God Star without migration ability, or a chance to migrate into the Boundless Land—which one do you choose? What is your first reaction? Choose! Don't think, choose!" Silver Coin shouted.

"The... the second one." Number Five God Star was a bit dazed by the questioning and said subconsciously.

"Exactly, that is your true need. You need a chance to migrate into the Boundless Land." Silver Coin concluded.

"Yes, I need a chance to migrate into the Boundless Land, but I don't have that chance right now, so I..." As expected of a God Star, his intelligence was normal. He quickly woke up from Silver Coin's swindling and was just about to say something when he was interrupted.

"I can provide that chance," Silver Coin said flatly.

"I... what? You can migrate me into the Boundless Land?" Number Five God Star said, losing his voice.

"I can. Do you know about the Gate of No Boundary?" Silver Coin asked.

"You have a Gate of No Boundary?" Number Five God Star was shocked.

"Heh, you know what we are, yet you say such foolish things now," Silver Coin said flatly.

The most brilliant way to promote is not to tell the customer what you have, but to make the customer believe you have it.

Number Five God Star immediately thought that these people were Ghost Guides who had killed so many God Stars; how could they not have a Gate of No Boundary in their hands?

But since they had killed so many God Stars, could they be tricking him into coming over to be slaughtered?

Silver Coin seemed to guess what he was thinking and said flatly: "There are so many God Stars in the void; even if we wanted to slaughter one, it wouldn't be your turn yet. Besides, slaughtering people isn't our main task; that's the performance quota of other Ghost Guides."

"Oh? What is your performance quota?" Number Five God Star asked.

"Putting all the light into bottles," Silver Coin said leisurely.

Number Five God Star was startled. Wasn't this sentence said by him?

Silver Coin said: "Although you have heard this sentence, you clearly haven't truly understood its meaning. Because besides this one, there are two others: 'Put the void into a bottle,' and 'Put the darkness into a bottle.' If you had heard the other two, would you have thought they were all the same sentence, just corrupted during the transmission process?"

Number Five God Star nodded. Although he hadn't heard the other two, even if he had, he probably would have truly thought it was a distortion during transmission.

"My Lord's task is to put the light into bottles. The Boundless Land is that bottle," Silver Coin said.

Number Five God Star was clearly already half-convinced and asked: "W-why?"

"Do you know what kind of place the Boundless Land is?" Silver Coin asked.

"The origin of life?" Number Five God Star said tentatively.

Silver Coin nodded: "The Boundless Land needs a massive amount of light. Actually, this sentence was indeed distorted during transmission. The correct one should be: 'Put all newborn light into bottles.'"

"Newborn light? You..." If it were any other God Star, they might not understand the meaning of Silver Coin's words, but he understood.

Because he knew the Boundless Land was already empty; there was no more newborn light being born there. Were these people actually going to restart the Boundless Land?

Silver Coin said half and kept half, using nine parts truth and one part falsehood to directly pierce through Number Five God Star's doubts.

Silver Coin finally said: "If you are willing to change into a smaller body and dedicate your soul to my Lord, we can send you into the Boundless Land through the Gate of No Boundary to become a newborn light in the bottle."

Number Five God Star said: "I need to consider it."

After saying this, he retreated. His consciousness didn't return directly to his main body, but came to the consciousness space, where the consciousnesses of five other God Stars were already hovering.

As soon as he returned, the other five God Stars asked impatiently: "Is what he said credible? They are Ghost Guides, after all."

One of the ones asking was actually Number Six God Star.
