Chapter 1836 Earth Ruler's Plan
According to the rules of the Floating Island for its rulers, they could challenge one another and the winner would get the loser's entire region if he could manage to kill him in the duel.
If the loser didn't die and survives the duel somehow, he would lose half of his territory and at the same time, he would lose one of his treasured things to the winner.
As far as the rulers believed that since the outsider would have the cultivation of a low-level Emperor Realm, he must have used all his trump cards in killing the ten old rulers of the Metal Region.
Nevertheless, these rulers have lived for too long and they knew that their moment of carelessness might cost them heavily.
Therefore, they decided to work together to take care of the new ruler and by defeating that ruler, the remaining rulers could share the Metal Region and the resources in it equally…except for the ruler who was planning to challenge the new ruler for the first time.
Of course, the ruler who will be challenging the new ruler for the first time won't be an official challenge because in case he loses the battle in the official challenge, he would lose his own region to the other party.
At that time, the other rulers would attack that new ruler to claim both the Metal Region and his region through that new ruler.
'There is no need for equal sharing…I will challenge him fair and squarely. If I win, I will take over the Metal Region.'
Suddenly, one of the rulers didn't want to go through all these complex processes where one had to test the battle prowess of the new ruler and later on, the other rulers had to share the Metal Region.
'Earth Ruler, aren't you worried that we will gang up on you after your duel with that new ruler?'
There was a quick mocking reply that was transmitted to the heads of the other rulers.
Currently, all the rulers of the Floating Island were connected with the help of the Spirit of the Floating Island and they could share their thoughts and ideas.
Even though it was a reply to the Earth Ruler, the one who replied wanted the other rulers to hear it because to do whatever he said, he would need the help of the other rulers.
If the Earth Ruler challenges the new ruler of the Metal Region and wins the duels, he would get the Metal Region and those who defeat him would get both the Earth Region and the Metal Region.
If the remaining rulers work together, and since the Earth Ruler would be weakened a little after the duel, their chances of taking him down would be much higher.
Thus, the ruler who replied to the Earth Ruler asked him whether he was ready for that thing.
'Haha…I am more than happy for you to try it. As you know, I will be invincible in my region and if you want to defeat me, you have to issue the official challenge; however, even that won't be easy because whoever issues the first challenge to me, I can easily kill him with my secret trump card and even after that, if someone challenges me, I can take him down with me…Haha.'
However, the Earth Ruler chuckled at that reply as he asked the other rulers to try their cheap little try on him as he would be more than happy to entertain them.
'Crazy b*stard.'
Everyone cursed the Earth Ruler as they decided to wait and see for a perfect opportunity to take him down.
It was because they knew that the Earth Ruler was powerful enough to back his words and no one wanted to risk their lives in fighting against such a crazy cultivator.
Nevertheless, they decided to wait and see what the Earth Ruler was planning to do with the new ruler of the Metal Region.
'Outsider, go and use the Ruler Core as soon as possible to become an official ruler of the Metal Region.'
As for the Earth Ruler, he no longer bothered to go back to his seclusion as he was waiting for the official announcement of the new ruler of the Metal Region because he was planning to issue a challenge as soon as he got that announcement.
The Earth Ruler was confident in his strength and according to his estimates, the outsider who killed the ten old brothers must have already used most of his trump cards with such a low cultivation of low-level Emperor Realm, the Earth Ruler believed the new ruler wouldn't stand a chance.
'Even if I have to drag the fight, I should make sure not to use any of my trump cards on him…hehe.'
The Earth Ruler knows that he could easily win the fight against the new ruler if he uses his trump cards; however, if the other rulers risk and issue a challenge to him, then he would be in a lot of trouble.
According to the rules for the Rulers, the winner of the duel won't get any break and if the other rulers issue a challenge to him, he should accept it and fight in that duel. To avoid any mishaps, the Earth Ruler wanted to not use any of his trump cards against the new ruler of the Metal Region. So that he could be ready for any sudden duels issued from the other rulers.
Most of the rulers, despite knowing that they are more powerful than the other rulers, can't issue a challenge just like that because even if they win the duel, the other rulers won't sit idle as they issue the challenge and defeat him before taking over their regions.
It is how the Floating Island works. Even though the rulers wanted the other rulers' regions, they wouldn't go out of their way to issue the challenge as the other rulers were waiting like predators that would jump at him the moment they were careless.
