Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

“Zhao Chuo, what do we do now? Should we stop him?” someone asked.

Zhao Chuo rolled his eyes: “If I said to stop him, would you?”

The man didn't answer.

“If it really comes down to it, let's take Li Ji and run! As long as he's in our hands, Wang won't dare to do anything rash to those people!” a woman with delicate features suggested.

Zhao Chuo directly rejected the idea: “Elder He hasn't spoken, we can't do that.”

While the group was whispering, the young man had already arrived at the execution platform, nervously clutching the hem of his clothes.

“Don't be afraid, retreating is death! What's more terrifying than death?” Li Chenqiu shouted.

Three black lines appeared on the young man's forehead as he slowly walked up to Li Ji, his eyes following the chains to the two guards responsible for controlling Li Ji.

“You fools, hurry up and unlock him!”

Zhou Lian's angry voice came from behind, scaring the two guards into quickly stepping forward to unlock the chains. With two 'clangs,' the chains binding Li Ji finally left his body.

Li Bai quickly helped him up from the ground and said to the young man, “Support him!”

“Uh… okay.”

The young man took the gaunt Li Ji, staggering slightly as he walked down the platform. He stopped in front of Zhou Qiantai and, at the other's signal, placed Li Ji on the blanket before hurrying away.

Li Chenqiu grinned and shouted at the young man's back, “Thank you.”

Then, he shifted his gaze to Zhou Qiantai: “I'll decide the exchange location, you have no objections, right?”

“Fine,” Zhou Qiantai replied in a deep voice, a hint of barely perceptible murderous intent flashing between his brows.

“Isn't it better to be hasty? If a real fight broke out, do you think we'd survive?”

On the execution platform, after Li Chenqiu left, He Kuo appeared where Li Ji had been standing.

“Let's go, the time to stretch our muscles is almost here!”

…

After leaving the forbidden disaster area, Li Chenqiu flew west for about a hundred miles before landing on the ground. Zhou Qiantai and his group landed a few hundred meters away when they saw this.

Zhou Qiantai shouted loudly, “Wang, is this where we exchange?”

“Right here, but the trade has to wait a bit.” Li Chenqiu smirked, turning his head: “Nusha, spread out the blanket, hold the person in your hand. You only release him when I say so.”

“What do you mean? Are you going back on your word?” Zhou Qiantai's fists itched; he felt a little like hitting someone.

“I have to verify if this blanket is a Mystic Artifact or someone's ability. What if you use an information gap to trick me? Put a rock on it, and we'll exchange again.”

Li Chenqiu pointed at the black blanket, simultaneously activating his own domain, encompassing a thousand meters.

Zhou Qiantai didn't speak or move.

“Eighth Master, what's wrong?” Zhou Lian, standing beside him, asked in confusion.

“Nothing,” Zhou Qiantai replied expressionlessly.

Seeing that the other party hadn't moved for a long time, Li Chenqiu raised an eyebrow a few hundred meters away: “Could it be that I guessed right? You're trying to trick me, you bastard?”

Zhou Qiantai snorted coldly: “Do you think I'm like you, resorting to such underhanded means! Zhou Lian, put a rock on the blanket.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Lian casually found a rock and threw it onto the blanket, shouting, “About two pounds.”

Li Chenqiu condensed a two-pound iron block and threw it onto the white blanket.

In the next second, both blankets shimmered, and the positions of the rock and iron block switched.

“Hehehe, so dishonest!”

Li Chenqiu chuckled, his deep, dark gaze fixed on a middle-aged woman. The moment their eyes met, the latter subconsciously looked away.

Just now, in the instant the rock and iron block switched positions, Li Chenqiu used his domain to detect an invisible wave spreading out from a hundred meters away, and the source was the woman deliberately avoiding his gaze.

“Wang, you've tested it, shouldn't we exchange now?”

“The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it is for you, I'm sure you know that!”

The few people who were unaware shouted loudly.

“It's time to exchange, but I have to kill one person. This is the punishment for dishonesty.”

Li Chenqiu lightly raised his eyes, raising his arm and clenching his fist.

Bang!

The vines binding a young scion of the consortium instantly tightened, and a cloud of blood mist exploded in the field.

Silence… an almost deathly silence.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

A sharp scream echoed through the wilderness, the sound coming from one of the young scions of the consortium.

“Wang, I'll kill you!!!”

A slightly overweight middle-aged man shouted with red eyes, about to rush towards Li Chenqiu, but was held back by several people beside him.

“Calm down, don't be impulsive!”

“My son is dead, how can you tell me to calm down? I want to kill him, I want to kill him!”

“My daughter is still alive! If you get my daughter killed, I'm not done with you!”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man gradually calmed down. The remaining reason made him grit his teeth and shut his mouth.

“Old thing, if you try any more tricks, the next one to die will be your grandson.” Li Chenqiu placed his hand on Zhou Yuan's head, who was biting his lower lip and had red eyes.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present realized that something was wrong, looking towards Zhou Qiantai, whose face was ashen.

“Eighth Master, what does Wang mean by this?”

“What tricks did you play?”

“Eighth Master, why aren't you saying anything!”

Zhou Qiantai ignored the questioning of the others, only staring at Li Chenqiu with unconcealed murderous intent.

He did cheat, he not only wanted to get something for nothing but also wanted to kill Li Chenqiu. Unfortunately, his plan ended before it even began.

“Stop staring at me, explain yourself!” Li Chenqiu slowly slid his fingers down to Zhou Yuan's forehead.

Without turning his head, Zhou Qiantai said, “Come out, tell them yourself, don't hide anything.”

The middle-aged woman with a dark face stepped forward.

In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on her.

Apart from Zhou Qiantai, no one knew this woman. Zhou Lian and others only knew that she was brought by Zhou Qiantai, and nothing else.

“My ability is called Divine Blanket. If there are two blankets of the same shape and size, and there are things on the blankets, and they are within my line of sight, I can change the positions of those items, just like before.”

The woman honestly confessed.

Li Chenqiu asked, “In other words, it doesn't need to be the same weight, as long as you want, you can move people from this blanket to another blanket?”
