Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Azure Palace.

Regarding the tragic end of the Clove family, the advisor sighed deeply: "I heard that the Clove family has decided to spend ten billion to hire mercenaries for a large-scale revenge against the Eastern Evil Dragon, but the Eastern Evil Dragon acted too quickly."

Eduardo shook his head: "No matter how powerful the family is, they can hardly contend with a strong nation like Great Xia, not to mention that the Clove family is essentially just a group of merchants."

Previously, even the master of Azure Palace viewed the Clove family as powerful, and had to greet them with a smile.

Having gone through this incident, he suddenly saw through the inherent weakness of these families.

Before the Age of Calamity, the power of capital was omnipotent.

But after the Age of Calamity, the world's operating logic has undergone profound changes, with the strength of superpowers being fundamental.

The advisor had a similar feeling: "These profit-oriented merchant families of the Yutel race will eventually be completely obsolete by the era.

"The Clove family has barely cooled, yet they are wielding knives and forks, attempting to feast on its corpse, their eyes only on profit, utterly oblivious to the great trend of the times.

"These families control the Mount of Gods, excluding Superpower Users from the core decision-making, which is indeed laughable upon reflection."

Eduardo nodded: "The merchant families of the Yutel race indeed cannot keep up with the times."

After the advisor finished his report, he left the office willingly.

Eduardo stared at the photo in the report and murmured softly: "I recall the name 'Golden Cudgel,' it seems to be the weapon of that powerful figure in Great Xia's mythological tales.

"Given the Great Xia People's fondness for the Golden Cudgel, the power of the space-based strike weapon should be more formidable than what's currently displayed."

With the proliferation of the Six Paths of Canglan, currently, Great Xia culture is popular globally; even the master of Azure Palace has heard the name 'Monkey King Sun Wukong.'

Thus, Eduardo strongly suspects that Great Xia People likely possess a more powerful gravitational strike weapon.

Based on the Great Xia People's tendency to "keep things hidden," this is highly probable.

Imagine the Lingxiao Hall system dropping a more potent Golden Cudgel; the entire Azure Palace would be instantly destroyed. Could I survive?

Eduardo just thinking about it felt a chill down his spine.

His life and death are controlled by a hostile country, with no autonomy, this feeling is utterly terrible.

The master of Azure Palace muttered: "Facts have already proven that relying solely on the power of the Federation cannot possibly counter the Eastern Evil Dragon, it seems we can only seek help from the Holy Race."

The repeated defeats of the Federation, with the Canglan Star's dominant position thoroughly supplanted by the Eastern Evil Dragon, has left him completely devoid of confidence.

Eduardo made up his mind, opened the drawer, and retrieved a small wooden box.

The box is made of cherry wood and appears quite ordinary at first glance.

But upon closer inspection, it gives a mesmerizing feeling, with faint whispers seemingly audible in the ears.

Eduardo took a deep breath and reached out to open the box.

A dark orb, emitting a faint glow, about the size of an eyeball, immediately caught his sight.

Just a month ago, the orb suddenly appeared in the drawer.

No one knows he possesses this item.

"Buzz~"

The orb vibrated slightly.

Its surface flickered, unexpectedly revealing a vertical pupil as if it had turned into a real eyeball.

The vertical pupil blinked, fixedly staring at the master of Azure Palace.

Although it wasn't Eduardo's first time seeing it, he still felt chills.

After a moment.

A hoarse voice unexpectedly sounded in his mind: "Friend from the Canglan Civilization, I guess you are facing difficulties, right?"

"No turning back from the shot," Eduardo could only grit his teeth and say: "Yes."

He spent a little time briefly explaining the Lingxiao Hall system of Great Xia and introducing the Clove family's plight.

Finally, he worriedly said: "I am very concerned that the Eastern Evil Dragon will launch a decapitation strike against me."

The hoarse voice filled with laughter: "Your worry, at its core, is a reflection of internal weakness."

Eduardo didn't want to admit it, yet had to: "You're very right."

The hoarse voice continued: "Great Xia has noticed the existence of the Qing yang Sacred Race, yet didn't use the Lingxiao Hall system to strike us because they know this little toy can't tackle the Qing yang Sacred Race."

Eduardo nodded again: "Indeed."

The hoarse voice went on: "So as long as you possess means to evade the Golden Cudgel, there's no need to worry."

Eduardo asked directly: "There's no such thing as a free lunch, what price do I have to pay?"

The hoarse voice didn't answer directly but said: "You can touch the 'Holy Stone.'

The so-called 'Holy Stone' is clearly the tiny black bead.

Eduardo hesitated briefly, mustered courage, and touched it.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared.

The world instantly took a different shape.

The office vanished, replaced by a vast black wilderness.

Numerous enormous black sculptures, too many to count, each at least a thousand meters tall, stood silently in the wilderness.

Eduardo looked utterly shocked.

A black figure, seemingly condensed from mist, silently appeared beside him.

Eduardo naturally knew that the figure must be the master of the hoarse voice—Dooma.
