Chapter 1100: Splitting the Spoils

Zhang Hanxiang asked, "Haven't we just dealt with four superior kings of antiquity in a row?"

Zhang Lie replied, "We did, but we'll have to split the spoils and extract the energy of those superior worlds. Even with four superior worlds' worth of energy, we'd likely only be able to grow two or three monach-grade lifeforms. To max out all our gene fragments, four superior worlds' worth of energy isn't enough."

Yang Ze understood what Zhagn Lie was getting at. "And if we want more monarch gene fragments, then we'll have to destroy more superior worlds and claim more of their energy."

Zhang Lie snapped his fingers. "Exactly right."

Zhang Hanxiang continued, "However, where will we go to find that many superior worlds? Except for our draconian world, the scaleman world, and the Zongming world, the only remaining superior worlds are the king of keys' world and the world of primordial chaos."

Sun Mengmeng replied, "The three newly evolved superior worlds are all our allies and companions, and we can't strike at them. It would have to be the other two."

Sun Xiaowu commented, "One the most ancient of the worlds, the other the strongest..."

Yang Ze asked, "Captain, do you intend to strike at these two superior worlds of antiquity?"

"Exactly."

Despite the hunters' surprise, they weren't too shocked.

"The strongest or the most ancient?"

"The most ancient," Zhang Lie replied.

As expected. The members of Team Zenith had suspected this option from the beginning. Ever since they learned that the king of keys had sent a subordinate over to deal with the Zongming world and then to capture Gold Comet, given Zhang Lie's personality, he certainly wouldn't let the king of keys get away scot-free.

"The king of keys sent a subordinate over to attack the Zongming world. It's time for us to retaliate. Furthermore, the king of keys abducted Gold Comet, and I have to retrieve it. Who's willing to come with me?"

Yang Ze sighed. "To be frank, I'm a bit tired."

Li Feng replied, "We just killed a superior king of antiquity a day ago. If we have to deal with another one so quickly... and as the most ancient king, the king of keys will definitely be stronger than the ones we've challenged to date..."

Fang Yi swung his hands and feet. "I haven't fully recovered, and I'm still suffering from the side effects of unleashing my ultimate attacks..."

Zhang Lie looked at them in disappointment. "You won't participate, then? Very well. After all, the king of keys is a far stronger opponent than the kings you fought, and I won't force you to take part—"

Before Zhang Lie could finish speaking, the members of Team Zenith all shouted, "Of course we're participating!"

Zhang Lie blinked. "That's not what you just said!"

Yang Ze sighed. "We aren't going to leave you in the lurch."

Li Feng spread his arms. "We've all consumed your monarch-grade meat, so we're yours! You'd better not leave us behind."

Fang Yi added, "I'd like to have more monarch-grade meat, too..."

Zhang Lie folded his arms. "Hold on! All of you were saying you were tired and wounded. I'm not going to force you to participate."

Yang Ze shrugged. "We won't let you fight alone, either."

Li Feng sighed. "It'd be even worse to do nothing and wait for news. I've had enough of this sort of pain."

Zhang Lie laughed. "Very well. We'll defeat the king of keys together."

Zhang Lie and the members of Team Zenith returned to the Zongming world once more, this time, bringing the draconian sage with them.

By then, the world of black rain had been merged with the Zongming world. Li Zongming was currently in the process of invoking his authority as king, along with large quantities of superior world's energy, to terraform the tattered world of black rain.

The draconian sage seemed rather surprised by the lack of an audience. "Where's the scaleman king?"

Zhang Lie replied, "The scaleman king isn't coming."

The draconian sage seemed rather worried. "What happened?"

Zhang Lie shook his head. "It's nothing. The scaleman world's perfectly fine, and the scaleman king was able to defend against the superior worlds' troops. If you were able to do so easily, there's no reason the scaleman king would fail."

The draconian sage asked curiously, "In that case, why isn't he here?"

Zhang Lie replied, "He felt as though he didn't put in enough work to deserve a share of the rewards."

The draconian sage sighed and shook his head. "He really is young, isn't he?" From the draconian sage's perspective, they were all entitled to at least a small portion of the rewards even at a base level of contribution.

Zhang Lie replied, "I've already given the scaleman king a fair share of the rewards." contemporary romance

Quickly, Li Zongming returned. As he took his seat, he suggested, "We're all familiar with each other, so let's not make this too formal. Zhang Lie, you can lead the discussions."

Zhang Lie refused. "This is your world. Better that you take the lead."

Li Zongming rolled his eyes. "I'm your father-in-law, and the others are your companions. It's clear that you're the best choice to be host."

The members of Team Zenith agreed with Li Zongming, forcing Zhang Lie to get up.

"Well, I suppose it doesn't really matter who's the host. I'll cut to the chase, then. This meeting is different than the previous one. It was an emergency meeting called because of the invasion of a number of superior worlds, but our gathering this time is to commemorate a joyous occasion. We've successfully neutered the threat, and we're going to distribute the spoils of war now."
