“But it’s fine, the Cosmic Favor is gone, but the Cosmic Will can replace it.”

“Fusing three Divine Artifact Level Treasures into one, if that’s turned into a Territory Trait, it’s definitely not going to be simple. It’s a pity Wang Wei doesn’t have the Cosmic Favor anymore. If he still had it now, making it into a Territory Trait, it would surely be one of the top-tier ones.”

“I remember this guy seems to roam the universe as a pirate every day, plundering everywhere, right? Seems like he got what he deserved.” Qin Muye quickly perceived the situation.

“Now that the main character’s business is temporarily wrapped up, the experimental weapon, Civilization’s Child, is also nearly ready. What’s left is just to create it.”

“Who knows what these three objects will fuse into.”

“This unlucky guy really hit rock bottom, to actually bump into a Star God.” Qin Muye was at a loss for words. He had just sensed the fluctuations of the Star God and before he could even investigate, he saw the Heavenly Demon God’s plea for help in the chat channel.

“If he still had Cosmic Favor, he would definitely be a legendary figure, too bad, he met his demise midway.” Qin Muye looked at Wang Wei with some emotion.

[***: Yeah, with your current situation, the Star Cluster Empire definitely won’t be able to save you in time, so only I can save you. Or do you think the Divine Artifacts are more important than your life?]

[***: All the Divine Artifacts, and I’ll save your life]

[***: Are you kind of threatening me with your life? That’s a Star God, albeit a nascent one. But he’s already stepped into the 8th tier, once he grows a bit more, do you think that little spaceship of yours will hold up?]

[Heavenly Demon God: You’re just exploiting the situation!]

[Heavenly Demon God: Three Divine Artifacts, *** I’ll give you three Divine Artifacts]

[Heavenly Demon God: I’ll give them, all the Divine Artifacts, just hurry over!!!]

[Heavenly Demon God: I saw a planet come to life and it’s attacking me, whoever saves my life will be richly rewarded]

[Heavenly Demon God: True Dragon Emperor, Supreme Real Person, please bother to pass on the message to the Star Cluster Empire for me. Once I escape this predicament, I’ll be sure to present a generous gift]

After all, such bizarre situations are happening every day in the universe. The universe is not a stagnant pond; all kinds of calamities happen from time to time.

But it’s also his own fault. He insisted on doing maintenance in an abandoned resource star system. Normally, who would pay attention to a wilderness, let alone a wilderness hollowed out into a shell?

In addition, the GROX Empire’s investigation of the Ring-shaped World is also proceeding in tandem. After some local activation, they have gained various knowledge and intelligence.

Lips die when teeth are cold? Doesn’t exist. True Dragon Emperor has the Server Transfer Token in hand, sitting securely as if fishing.

From the start, Qin Muye planned to turn Wang Wei and the three treasures into a Territory Trait right after he obtained them, although it’s really quite a pity that the most valuable talent, Cosmic Favor, was lost.

Most forces wouldn’t set their sights there, but any that are even slightly close to an interstellar civilization would definitely have 8th-tier Transcendents who’d notice something awry, though whether they’d go investigate or not is another matter.

But the chat channel fell silent for a while, with True Dragon Emperor and Supreme Real Person not bothering to pay attention to the Heavenly Demon God. He himself had been vexatious enough, raiding everywhere, even targeting them.

Of course, even if Wang Wei knew about these events, he would probably still go ahead with his actions.

To this, Heavenly Demon God is certainly no fool and definitely wouldn’t agree to Qin Muye’s demands. After all, these are Divine Artifacts, not cabbages.

The other party was already useless, completely cast aside.

The other party was speeding through an abandoned resource star system. A huge planet was relentlessly pursuing him from behind. Looking at the opponent’s spaceship condition, the odds are high that it encountered an unexpected situation during repairs; however, Qin Muye felt it must have been the sudden animation of the planet that caught him off guard.

The other side was silent for a long time. In Qin Muye’s perception, he was caught up by the Star God and was fighting desperately… no, taking a beating as best he could.

The True Dragon Emperor was also watching with detached interest. His regard for the Heavenly Demon God was far less than for Qin Muye, and moreover, the matter had no conflict of interest with him.

Seeing this, Qin Muye was definitely quick to choose to exploit the situation. It’s not like he would altruistically save the other person for nothing, right?

Once you’re in, don’t think about getting out.

There aren’t many Spirit Monsters, just a total of ten thousand, but fortunately, they’re very efficient–in three to five days at most, they should succeed. The main difficulty lies in clearing the surface and construction.

There’s no hope of rescue unless the other party truly agrees. As for agreeing and then reneging, well, that’s simple. If a Star God can kill a Heavenly Demon God, Qin Muye can kill them too.

Given the small stature of the opponent, thinking about fighting is just wishful thinking–they’re only fit to be beaten.

Unfortunately, it seems designed to be used as a cage, so everything is extremely limited. Most of the information uncovered pertains to the various devices of the Ring-shaped World.

Qin Muye was examining the construction design plans when he suddenly noticed something.

Qin Muye got hold of the Heavenly Demon God’s Divine Artifact… and it’s just so-so. Didn’t you see that everyone in the Troop has two Divine Artifacts? What would a few more do?

Qin Muye took out the design plans. This Civilization Child’s weapon is no minor device–he made it using an entire planet, and it’s currently under construction.

Qin Muye instantly replied to the message. To others, a Divine Artifact is merely a Treasure, but to Qin Muye, it represents a brand-new Abyss Layer and powerful Territory Traits.

Qin Muye casually sealed Wang Wei, injecting him with enough Nourishment Liquid and a sleeping aid to ensure he wouldn’t die or wake up.

Qin Muye could only see vast amounts of data within the other’s body constantly intersecting and evolving, clearly requiring some time to fully take shape.

Without the Cosmic Favor Talent, on what basis could he have risen from the bottom ranks of the landless to his current position so quickly? Was it based on his efforts alone? Qin Muye wouldn’t deny that, but without Cosmic Favor Talent, the most likely result of his efforts would have been ending up as one of the corpses in a sewer.

Firstly, due to the Star God, all cosmic parameters in the region where the Heavenly Demon God was located were in disarray. There was no way to call for help; the only option was to communicate through “Lord Era”.

He already knew he was a Reincarnator. How could he possibly resign himself to giving up these opportunities?

Now that he’s lost Cosmic Favor, he can’t even run away, let alone make use of it. He’s being suppressed by the entire Endless Abyss, so neither Main Character Aura nor Cosmic Favor Talent can take effect.

If he were a rank 8, he wouldn’t be afraid, but at rank 7 he doesn’t have that kind of privilege. There are tens of thousands of people as highly regarded as him in the Holy Sect, and the competition is already fierce. If he makes mistakes, he’s likely going to be doomed.

The Grandmaster of the Holy Sect is a high-ranking member, valued by many, not like the Heavenly Demon God who is merely a dog of the Star Cluster Empire. There’s absolutely no need to risk offending Qin Muye.

If it weren’t for the concern that extracting it directly now might cause problems, Qin Muye would have taken action long ago.

Between a nobody mercenary who might die at any moment and a powerful Transcendent standing at the apex of the universe’s hierarchy, everyone knows how to choose.

In Qin Muye’s eyes, the most valuable thing on Wang Wei isn’t the three legacies of the GROX Empire, but rather the Cosmic Favor Talent he possesses himself.

From the moment the Life Scepter was taken away, the situation became irretrievable.

Generally, disasters in such regions don’t spread out, and they’re basically ignored by others.

This planet primarily serves as a carrier. After all, it’s a civilization and can’t just support anything casually. It requires a sufficient level to do so.

The True Dragon Emperor and the Heavenly Demon God may not know, but as a legitimate Grandmaster, he’s obtained external intelligence on Qin Muye from the Holy Sect. If he really offends Qin Muye for no good reason, it’s very likely that he’ll be abandoned by the Holy Sect.

The reason these Lords are still alive is because it’s difficult to make a move against them–they all have significant backgrounds. Killing them would lead to conflicts with the indigenous powerhouses. Only the identity of the Heavenly Demon God is slightly more unique, being just a front man. How could it compare with a True Dragon Emperor, a member of the Alliance of All Things, or a Grandmaster, a direct descendant of the Holy Sect?

The reason for success is because Cosmic Will needed him to remove the unique Protection Field formed by the three ultimate Treasures of the GROX Empire.

As long as the construction is completed, the Civilization Child will also be nearly ready to be hastened to maturity.

As long as someone notifies the Star Cluster Empire for him, there will definitely be someone coming to rescue him. So why bother waiting for Qin Muye to do it?

As for the other legacies of the GROX Empire, Qin Muye has already arranged for other Spirit Monsters to retrieve them. All that’s left is to wait for the Life Scepter, the Book of Eternity, and the Galaxy Cube within Wang Wei’s body to fully integrate, and then proceed with the extraction surgery.

The memories of being reborn are themselves a result of the Cosmic Favor Talent. Without it, even if he emerges a hundred years later, he’d still be nothing more than an ordinary person struggling to survive.
