Chapter 1254: Chapter 1114: I Do Not Covet

Two charred figures were locked up, and the people from River Technology didn’t dare stay in the courtyard anymore.

They voluntarily retreated to the entrance, frantically calling for possible support through their wristwatches.

However, the two patrol guards from the aircraft didn’t leave; instead, they approached Xiang Xue for negotiation.

Their point was, regardless of anything, Du Pont was the supreme being of River, and should be treated with due respect.

Undoubtedly, the two had come with Du Pont, so their bias was beyond question.

Xiang Xue resolutely rejected their request.

"If a supreme being can act recklessly on someone else’s land, I’m quite skeptical whether the term ’Paradise’ is apt."

The Paradise Star Government still valued its image and reputation greatly.

However, River Technology was also a key focus of government support. For such an incident to occur... it can only be said that Du Pont provoked the wrong people.

Otherwise, with a slight exertion of power, the government could have easily silenced the oppressed lodging.

The creation of a livable paradise or the emphasis on reputation is not an immutable concept; this needs no elaboration.

However, if the lodging had the power to arrest a supreme being, it naturally had the right to speak this way.

Even the two patrol guards lost their temper, reporting to their superiors while standing in the courtyard.

Kakas came over and clasped his hands towards Bentley, "Thank you for extending your help, sir."

Bentley waved his hand and spoke indifferently, "My actions have nothing to do with you; don’t try to get close."

Several A-levels stood outside the door, so naturally he wouldn’t hand over control; even though he knew well, this was an old acquaintance of Zi Jiu Immortal.

Kakas didn’t indulge in the fantasy that the other party would intervene in his affairs, nor did he find it awkward.

Dragging people into trouble was never the behavior of a decent person, much less when the other party was a supreme being with a very bad temper.

In any case, he fulfilled the necessary etiquette, otherwise, it would damage Green Water’s reputation.

Then he walked up to the man and woman, frowned, and asked sternly, "What’s going on?"

Kakas had a very precise understanding of the lodging’s position, but his B-level junior had different ideas.

It wasn’t much related to humanity; he purely wanted to survive—River Academy put too much pressure on him.

Though he had Green Water Academy behind him, by all accounts, River completely overshadowed Green Water.

River-born supreme beings, there were dozens currently alive, while Green Water just barely reached double digits.

The key was his four children—they were always innocent, right?

So he very directly answered, "The project researched by Lord Liang Shui, somehow got discovered by them."

"Supreme Liang Shui?" Zi Jiu Immortal, though initially silent, instinctively repeated upon hearing the name.

This supreme being hailed from Green Water and taught there for a long time.

Until the old dean achieved supremacy, he then let go of Green Water’s affairs to start his project research.

Kakas didn’t think Zi Jiu Immortal’s reaction was problematic; Supreme Liang Shui was nearly three hundred years old, and his fame and connections were formidable.

He merely raised his eyebrows slightly, "Lord Liang Shui seemingly... passed away two years ago?"

The death of each supreme being spread quickly, and the empire would respond accordingly, not to mention when it was a supreme being from Green Water.

"Two and a half years ago," the B-level responded solemnly, "and then... the project stopped."

Kakas quickly realized, then asked in disbelief, "But... why would they come to you?"

The B-level sighed, and responded quietly, "I took care of the lord in his later years."

Whether or not he held onto the progress of Liang Shui’s project, the suspicion from the other party was inevitable.

Bentley also understood clearly and glanced at Zi Jiu Immortal in silence—what was Liang Shui doing?

Zi Jiu Immortal was still in a daze; for years, she had been living quietly with the team, truly unaware of Supreme Liang Shui’s death.

Only when she noticed Bentley’s look did she speak thoughtfully.

"Supreme Liang Shui’s achievements in space materials science were remarkable; losing such a person is truly regrettable."

The B-level, hearing her respond, stated without hesitation, "Indeed, Lord Liang Shui’s project made breakthrough progress in his later years."

He already decided, to try to involve the lodging, thus paid no mind to confidentiality.

Bentley and Xiang Xue were no fools, fully aware of the other’s intentions.

However, they also deeply understood, Zi Jiu Immortal was once a professor at Green Water Academy, so no complaints could be made.

It was Silver Fir who snorted coldly upon hearing, "Knowing this information, we likely can’t remain uninvolved, right?"

The B-level raised his hand in salute, answering respectfully, "River Technology dared to trouble me, but they might not dare to provoke you."

He had always been very clear, knowing there were more than one supreme being backing the lodging.

Moreover, the moment this Electromagnetic Supreme acted, they directly employed lethal power, clearly indifferent to the pressure from River.

"Since trouble has already come up," Silver Fir spoke unhurriedly.

"You might as well explain what exactly are the results; once the news spreads, they might not dare to proceed."

B-level heard this, and pretended to glance at Kakas, sensing that it would be best to get the senior’s consent.

Kakas raised his hand to touch his forehead, sighed helplessly, "Alright, just say it directly."

At this moment, he couldn’t stop it even if he wanted to. Fortunately, the other party wasn’t angry for being dragged into this.

B-level answered in a deep voice, "For nearly eighty years, Lord Liang Shui has been researching the time disparity caused by space distortion..."

The average person hearing this might not immediately react, but Silver Fir understood instantly.

He spoke in surprise, "The relationship between time disparity and space... trying to create an environment for rapid cultivation?"

"Oh?" B-level looked at him curiously, hesitated for a moment then nodded, "That’s the ultimate goal, but still quite far away."

The crowd nearby who heard this began to whisper about it. This news... was rather sensational.

Earlier, River Technology’s arrival had piqued some guests’ curiosity, causing them to watch from a distance.

Then Du Pont released pressure, affecting some onlookers as well, but human nature loves a spectacle.

Later, Bentley intervened, but didn’t impact these people, so they continued watching from afar.

Now hearing about the rapid cultivation environment, those who understood were completely shocked.

Some even pondered this matter, "Time and space disparity... doesn’t this ensure everyone becomes Supreme?"

The idea that everyone could become Supreme was quite far-fetched; some people couldn’t even awaken, let alone become Supreme.

But the general understanding was not incorrect.

Silver Fir nodded, "Indeed, if it weren’t still far away, it should have been invited by the Imperial Capital already... Is there actually some progress?"

His assessment was spot on; such progress could easily be described as having epoch-making significance.

However, with his inquiry, B-level felt a bit stuck — should he answer seriously?

At this moment, Bentley coughed lightly, "I’ve met Brother Liang Shui a few times, and we get along well."

"Since this situation has arisen, it’s not good if I don’t get involved. But I need to clarify first... what exactly is the progress?"

"I’m not coveting Liang Shui’s achievements. Frankly... I seldom intervene voluntarily, and I don’t wish to get involved in trivial matters."

His words were righteous, but most people scoffed inwardly.

Hmph, asking about the progress before taking action, is this not coveting?

Bentley didn’t care about others’ thoughts. What concerned him now was that the boss was interested in this matter!

Since the boss was interested, he must handle it properly. He rarely did anything hard-handed, but he wasn’t a paragon of morality either.

As long as there’s a half-hearted excuse, other Supremes act in much the same way.

B-level hesitated slightly, expressing, "This progress... I’m really not at liberty to say."

"Do as you please," Bentley shrugged casually, then intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zi Jiu Immortal.

"If more Supremes arrive, as long as they are not disrespectful, I won’t intervene."

—— Little girl, you must see clearly, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help, but the other side is only looking to use us!

Zi Jiu Immortal understood clearly. Although she deeply cared for the Green Water Seal, now the team was the common interest community.

"Honorable one..." B-level was anxious upon hearing this, he genuinely didn’t want to divulge Lord Liang Shui’s progress.

However, the other party was clearly not easily fooled, and their intentions were very clear and direct.

"Alright," Silver Fir snorted coldly, "My master merely wants a reason, to shield you from others’ coveting."

"Since you find it difficult, then forget it. We truly never covet what’s not ours."

"But this should be an expansion of research on Divine Text, at least you should show some related Divine Text Treasure, right?"

"Boom..." The onlookers were in an uproar, what were they talking about — Divine Text Treasure?

In the Hope Star Realm, only a few knew about Divine Text Treasures, but Paradise Star was in the Inner Circle,

And those who could afford to stay at Yunwu Mountain lodgings were undoubtedly high net worth individuals, with good information capabilities.

B-level was stunned again, clearly considering denying the existence of Divine Text Treasure.

But without a doubt, the other party was also knowledgeable, or they wouldn’t make such connections.

Having already displeased the other party a bit, denying it would likely infuriate them.

While he hesitated, Kakas keenly sensed the junior’s dilemma.

He understood this junior too well and quickly declared decisively, "Say whatever you need to, leave everything to me and Green Water!"

The junior steeled his resolve, decisively stating, "There are no Divine Text Treasures, only some holographic data!"

Ultimately, what he valued most were the research insights from Liang Shui Supreme.

Regarding Divine Text Treasure... it was just so-so, merely holographic data after all.

"Alright," Silver Fir nodded without hesitation, "As long as you bring out the holographic data, my Supreme will act."

B-level however dared not trust his words lightly and turned to Bentley, "Honorable one, is that so?"
