At the top of the mountain was a platform with a radius of a thousand feet. It looked as if someone had used a sword to cut it flat.
On the center of the huge platform was a square stone.
This stone looked like the stone chessboards in the streets and parks of Zhou Shu’s previous life. It was square and smooth like jade.
“This is the place.” Yao Buqi pointed at the chessboard. “This place connects to the Ten Nations Continent. Sometimes, I’ll throw something I don’t need down from here. Before long, someone will send something up.”
“Down?” Zhou Shu glanced at Yao Buqi. Does he think the Demon Realm is the upper world? He even threw something down!
The Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent were one. There was no upper and lower.
Zhou Shu came in front of the chessboard. The chessboard-like stone was only a foot square, and its surface was as white as jade.
Zhou Shu reached out and touched the surface of the stone.
Yao Buqi opened his mouth but hesitated.
But Zhou Shu retracted his hand immediately and didn’t really reach in.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the stone, as if it had become water.
Zhou Shu released his divine sense. When his divine sense touched the surface of the stone, it was as if it had fallen into a black hole and instantly lost contact with him.
Zhou Shu was amused. He flipped his wrist, and a stone appeared in his palm.
He casually threw it on the chessboard.
Plop—
With a soft sound, it sank into the chessboard and disappeared as if it had fallen into water.
It’s really a little like throwing it down…
Yao Buqi was speechless. You’re such a mighty figure. Aren’t you acting a little childish?
If he threw a stone down, and the people there worshiped it as a divine item, how funny would it be…
Yao Buqi couldn’t help thinking of the first time he had thrown something down. A few days later, a large number of things had appeared here, mixed with a letter.
Yao Buqi didn’t know that the human race had something called Qingci. It was something that humans wrote to the gods and immortals in the heavens. What he had received at that time was a Qingci. It thanked him for the treasures he had given them and even called him a god.
It was also after this that he became interested in throwing things down from time to time.
After all, it felt good to be called a god.
Zhou Shu looked at the chessboard-like stone and pondered. “Demon God, what do you call it?”
Yao Buqi really wanted to tell Zhou Shu, Don’t call me Demon God! Although I also really want to be a demon god…
“I call it the altar.” Yao Buqi whispered with a red face.
“Haha.” Zhou Shu chuckled.
Yao Buqi wished he could find a hole to hide in. He was too embarrassed to face others.
“You really think you’re a god on an altar,” Zhou Shu said calmly.
He actually said it out loud. Does he have to work so hard to mock me?
“Demon God,” Zhou Shu continued.
“Don’t call me Demon God!” Yao Buqi finally couldn’t help saying.
Although there were no outsiders here, it was too embarrassing to be called that. He was just a mere first-rank demonic beast. How could he be a demon god?
“Alright, I think you have the bearing of a demon god.” Zhou Shu shrugged. “Demon God, how long does it take for you to receive feedback after throwing something down?”
Yao Buqi slapped his forehead. He really couldn’t do anything to Zhou Shu.
“It depends,” Yao Buqi replied. “At least a day or two, seven or eight days later. Sometimes, it can take ten days to half a month.”
“Is that so?”
From this time, it was very difficult to determine if there was anyone guarding the other side.
According to his previous speculation, even if there were people on the other side, they should be extremists who believed in the demon god. They were not on the same side as the Ten Nations’ imperial courts.
Even if he could contact them, it would be useless.
Unless he could think of a way for the Ten Nations’ imperial courts to take down this stronghold…
The biggest problem now was how to contact the Ten Nations’ imperial courts…
“Demon God, do your believers listen to you?” Zhou Shu asked Yao Buqi.
Yao Buqi was speechless. “King Zhou, stop teasing me. I’m not a demon god. I was just playing around when I was young and ignorant.
“I’ve never even seen who’s on the other side. Why would they listen to me?”
Yao Buqi had really never thought of controlling the humans on the other side. In the beginning, he did it purely for fun. Later on, although he exchanged some things with the other party with the attitude of exchanging benefits, he didn’t take this matter seriously.
After all, there was nothing good that the other party could provide him.
“If we manage to cooperate, and my people are stationed in the Two Region Mountain, can I use your altar?” Zhou Shu asked Yao Buqi.
“Yes… of course.” Yao Buqi’s eyes flickered. “But King Zhou, I have to be blunt. When this passage is used to transmit things, it consumes a large amount of spiritual qi.”
“Understood.” Zhou Shu nodded. “I’ll make up for it.”
“King Zhou, it’s not that I can’t bear to part with it, but I have many demonic beasts under me, so I have to plan carefully…” Yao Buqi said awkwardly.
“There’s no need to explain. You and I are partners, so I naturally won’t let you suffer a loss,” Zhou Shu said.
“Thank you for your understanding, King Zhou.” Yao Buqi cupped his hands. He glanced at the altar reluctantly.
“Don’t worry. I’m just borrowing it. I won’t take it for myself.” Zhou Shu noticed his actions. “Since you’ve obtained the recognition of the Two Region Mountain, no one can take it away unless they kill you. This altar is also a part of the Two Region Mountain, so it’s naturally the same.”
Yao Buqi’s heart turned cold. Unless someone kills me, no one can take it away. In other words, if you kill me, you can take it away?
The key is that you have the ability to kill me.
What if you get greedy…
Yao Buqi felt his back drenched in cold sweat.
He stole a glance at Zhou Shu. Fortunately, it seemed that Zhou Shu had no intention of double-crossing him.
He had forgotten that on the Two Region Mountain, ordinary Demon Kings might not be able to kill him.
Even if he thought of this, he wouldn’t feel much safer. In Yao Buqi’s heart, Zhou Shu was an old monster who had lived for countless years. He might be even stronger than a Demon King.
“King Zhou, when are you planning to send the human army over?” Yao Buqi asked carefully. “Although ordinary Demon Kings don’t dare to trespass here, in order to avoid any accidents, it’s better not to let others know that the human army is hiding here…”
“Of course.” Zhou Shu nodded. “I’ve already arranged for someone to contact you. As for the specifics, you can discuss him.
“I don’t need to worry about such a small matter.
“Demon God, I’ll make another deal with you. Are you interested?”
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi, and his gaze suddenly fell on the void beast on his shoulder.
“Make another deal?” Yao Buqi looked puzzled.
“It’s not difficult for me to get the title of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm for you with your status. But if you’re too weak, even if you become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, you’ll easily be exposed.
“As the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, you have to at least have the cultivation of a Great Demon.
“I can help you break through to the Great Demon realm. In exchange, I want to borrow it.” Zhou Shu pointed at the void beast on Yao Buqi’s shoulder.
Yao Buqi was stunned, and his expression changed slightly. “King Zhou, Kongkong doesn’t have any combat strength…”
The void beast was his pet beast. It had not been easy to obtain and was a symbol of his status. He couldn’t bear to let it take the risk.
“I know. I don’t need it to fight,” Zhou Shu said. “I just want it to help me send a message. Since the void beast is also a demonic beast, it must have intelligence. It should be able to recognize people.
“Ask it to help me send a letter to someone. In exchange, I’ll help you break through to the Great Demon realm. What do you think of this deal, Demon God?”
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi calmly.
