"We welcome His Magnificence!"
All the practitioners around the arena dropped to their knees and said in unison. Most of them were natives here, and their feelings for the Mystic God Emperor had already reached the highest height.
As for others, they followed out of respect for a God Emperor. It was an etiquette among the practitioners around the Divine Realm.
Shen Huang calmly sat on his throne and looked at the crowd below. "I appreciate everyone's goodwill. Get up."
Everyone slowly got up and looked at Shen Huang. It was the first time many of them saw him. They would never forget this scene for the rest of their life.
Shen Huang turned to look at Shen Yimu and said. "Let's start."
"Yes." Shen Yimu bowed slightly. He raised his head to look at the Shen Clan members and said. "There's no order. Who would like to come first?"
"Let me." Shen Yin glanced at everyone briefly and spoke upon seeing no one step out.
He got up from his seat and flew onto the stage.
Cupping his fists, Shen Yin said. "Junior Shen Yin is going to report the transactions over the years."
He then snapped his fingers, and a curtain of white light appeared above the arena, displaying various numbers and names on it.
"There are a hundred and twenty-two thousand branches under my management during these hundred years. Most of them are within the middle and upper realms. In terms of profit, I've earned seventy-three trillion Divine Stones in total, and there are many priceless treasures, as everyone can see on the projection." Shen Yin said with a confident smile.
The crowd looked at the content on the projection, and gasping sounds could be heard from time to time. They had never seen such massive wealth before in their lives.
Shen Huang and the others glanced at the lists on the projection, and their expressions were relatively calm. It was as if this amount of money was nothing.
Shen Yin wasn't discouraged, as he said further. "During this period, I've recruited a group of practitioners to work for us. There are a total of twenty-three peak Divine Sovereigns and more than seven hundred Divine Sovereigns varying from the early to high level."
Hiss—
Upon hearing this, many people in the crowd subconsciously sucked in a cold breath. They couldn't imagine how much resources Shen Yin spent to recruit them.
At the same time, it allowed them to realize how scary the Mystic Auction House was. This group of Divine Sovereigns alone was enough to overthrow any middle realms. It was no wonder other God Emperors treated the Mystic God Emperor differently.
Shen Yin was satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. He clapped his hands gently and said. "Come out."
Swoosh—
A group of twenty-three peak Divine Sovereigns immediately appeared on the stage behind Shen Yin.
"We greet His Magnificence!" They knelt on one knee and said in unison toward Shen Huang.
"Why do I feel the bald man on the left look familiar?" A middle-aged man among the crowd said in doubt as he stared at a bald Divine Sovereign behind Shen Yin.
"You don't remember him? He's a Drunken Flower Monk." Another man beside him said.
"Drunken Flower Monk!" Many people nearby gasped in shock.
The Drunken Flower Monk was notorious for his perverted and bloodthirsty nature. It was said he loved skinning young girls alive and turned them into wine… Shen Yin actually recruited such a person? Had he gone insane or something?
Shen Yin seemed to know what everyone thought. He quickly explained. "This Drunken Flower Monk had indeed committed many crimes in the past, but he has already turned himself. He's now working as an ordinary clerk to atone for his sin."
"Please give this lowly one a chance!" The Drunken Flower Monk said with a remorseful expression.
Everyone in the crowd remained skeptical about this. They didn't believe that a cruel person like the Drunken Flower Monk would change overnight, but this had nothing to do with them.
All the eyes turned to Shen Huang at the highest throne. They were waiting for his comment.
To their disappointment, Shen Huang didn't say anything. More precisely, he didn't even look at the Drunken Flower Monk.
Shen Yin frowned slightly when he saw this. He suddenly regretted bringing the Drunken Flower Monk over. Initially, he wanted to show off that even a notorious person like the Drunken Flower Monk turned himself in and worked under him., but it seemed to backfire now.
He took a deep breath and said further. "As everyone can see, not a single branch under my management is operating at a loss. All of them have successfully created a profit."
Shen Yin looked at the Shen Clan members and cupped his fists. "Thank you for listening to my report."
Shen Yimu glanced at Shen Feng briefly and saw the latter nod. He then stepped forward. "The next person can come up now."
Shen Yin was upset by the lack of reaction from the Shen Clan members, but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He could only step to the side and wait for the evaluation to come out at the end.
"Why don't you go first?" Shen Yu glanced at Shen Yan and said with a smile.
Shen Yan's heart sank slightly, and she subconsciously glanced at Wu Qingcheng, who sat at the edge of the stand.
Wu Qingcheng seemed to notice this. She looked at Shen Yan and shook her head slightly, indicating that Yun Lintian didn't contact her.
Shen Yan sighed inwardly. All the investments she painstakingly threw in became nothing in the end. Although she was confident that her achievement was better than Shen Yin, she didn't think it could be compared to Shen Yu's without Yun Lintian's help.
Without thinking further, she got up and jumped onto the stage.
"Junior Shen Yan is here to give everyone a report." Shen Yan cupped her fist and said. The content of the projection immediately changed afterward.
"There are ten thousand branches under my management and created a profit of one hundred and sixty-two trillion Divine Stones."
Shen Yan's achievement in terms of profit alone could easily crush Shen Yin, but the problem was that she didn't recruit many people during this period. She would certainly get into trouble later in the second phase, where everyone had to send their people to fight…
