"I always thought that when my identity was exposed, the zone would be as shocked by me as by the ’Wealthiest in the World,’ cheering for me. But the fact is, when the lords in the zone knew there was a lord far wealthier than the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance, during difficult times, I didn’t help any of the lords. So this time as the Heaven-Embracing Alliance attacked me, there was not a single helping hand or a voice of support."

"I am rich, yet when I say a word in the zone, it’s worth nothing compared to the backing that the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance has with every word and action."

"The Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance claims that by obtaining my wealth, he’ll give back to the entire zone, and the zone will rise and fall together. The other lords are looking forward to my demise."

After the fat man finished speaking, Yi Tian fell silent. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

In the fat man, Yi Tian saw the shadow of the ’Wealthiest in the World.’

It was as if the fat man’s existence was nothing but a stepping stone for the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance.

The difference was, the fat man didn’t have the strength to resist the Heaven-Embracing Alliance.

Yi Tian had the strength to resist all the lords in Zone 10086.

"The Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance is a born Commander-in-Chief." Yi Tian admired the actions of the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance greatly.

When he descended into this world, he thought of embarking on the road to kingly rule. His ability to win people’s hearts is akin to the ancient emperor founding a dynasty.

The likes of Yao Wuyu from Zone 10086, when compared to the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance, seem like mere clowns jumping around.

To this day, everyone knows that the mist will eventually disappear. It’s enjoyable to play the local emperor in one’s own territory, but without sufficient strength, there’s no future.

Those lords who join the Heaven-Embracing Alliance do so for their own future.

"Has the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance participated in this attack?" Yi Tian asked the fat man again.

"No, the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance’s subzone is very far from me. The one participating in the attack is a Vice Alliance Leader. The Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance is A-level in strength; if he attacked, I would be in dire straits," the fat man shook his head and said.

In their zone, the top several dozen ranked in each subzone have late-stage B-level strength, and some even quasi-A-level.

This attack means that the top-ranked from several surrounding subzones have come together.

The Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance pays great attention to the fat man.

"Has the Heaven-Embracing Alliance invaded other lords?"

"No! The Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance has always advocated shared destiny, opposing invasion, and he strikes down invaders. So, our zone rarely has any invasions happening. Their slogan for invading me is ’robbing the rich to help the poor, walking the righteous path!’"

They glorified the act of slaughtering a fat sheep and garnered the support of the zone’s lords. It shows how much the fat man has lost in influence.

While the fat man was making money and developing, the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance won everything else.

"I think, even if you can fend off this attack, the future will be very difficult. Because you are stuck in the game, you have lost the general trend, and you cannot resist the trend," Yi Tian said earnestly to the fat man.

According to the fat man, the Heaven-Embracing Alliance has virtually unified the zone in name, and has the people’s support.

Those lords who rank high in subzones have been promised important positions.

Almost stuck in a dead end, unless one can rise to the skies.

Sometimes, when a super-rich man encounters a hero, two fists can’t block four hands, it’s really tough!

"There’s nothing that can be done. Let’s dodge this time first," the fat man said helplessly.

"If the enemy is at a disadvantage, they will surely continue to summon members of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance, descending in the form of mercenaries." Yi Tian didn’t believe the fat man hadn’t considered this.

"Every time an invader summons a mercenary, I will spend one million Celestial Dao Coins," the fat man once again showed his wealth and power.

Below the city walls.

Several leaders of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance gathered together.

"Just heard from within the alliance that the world’s second appeared in the mercenary system for a while before being hired away and not appearing again for ten consecutive minutes. Previously, the world’s second used to complete tasks often within three minutes; the Lord suspects he’s been hired by Shimmering Gold," the Vice Alliance Leader of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance said to the surrounding lords.

"As expected, the Lord was right; Shimmering Gold is a Fortune Taker that’s hard to kill. I thought the Lord was using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken!" A tiger-headed person praised the Lord of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance.

"The world’s second is ultimately just one person; if we all go together, what can he do to us? If he has been hired by Shimmering Gold, he’ll surely leave with his tail between his legs," a minotaur lord said.

"Don’t be careless! Our lives are precious. The world’s second has the power to kill any one of us in an instant. He’s a ruthless man; if he takes on the task, he won’t give it up easily," the Vice Alliance Leader shook his head.

"Let the slaves attack! We have thousands of slaves. Even if the world’s second runs out of Spiritual Power, he can’t kill them all. As long as the slaves hold up the world’s second for a while, and we kill Shimmering Gold, the world’s second’s task is a failure," a Daoist woman said.

"The Lord has provided us with support: ten Green Star Pills, enough Strengthening Grass for ten people to consume, an Enchanted Treasure Bow with an attack power of 1800, five A-level Strong Bows, ten pieces of A-level Combat Armor, and some medicine-wine for treating the plague."

"Additionally, five brothers with talents, thirty Qi Refiners, thirty Mages, Elemental Masters, and Wizards. Forty Body Refiners with Weapon Mastery, all in late-stage B-level."

"To guard against the world’s second, the Lord has traded Black Stone Warriors to us; the Black Stone Warrior has an attack and defense power of 3500."

"Shimmering Gold has assets of 6.6 billion Celestial Dao Coins, along with other important treasures, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. We must not return empty-handed. We have to use crushing strength and pay the smallest cost to complete this attack. The slaves must not suffer too much loss, or even if we capture Shimmering Gold’s territory, it won’t be worthwhile."

"This time, we will win; we fear no challenge, including the world’s second!"

On the eve of the battle, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance encouraged the crowd and reminded them.

"Victory! Victory!"

The members of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance shouted.

Hundreds of elite reinforcements came again, and the Black Stone Warriors with 3000 attack and defense gave them great confidence.

The Vice Alliance Leader has Sixth-level Arrow Mastery and possesses an Enchanted Treasure Bow with an attack power of 1800.

If the world’s second comes, he will be defeated, and the divine flower myth will end.

The members of the Heaven-Embracing Alliance collectively activated the Mercenary System.

Yi Tian could see that a wave of not weak momentum was rising below.

The morale below was high, while the fat man’s subordinates were increasingly downcast.

"Boom!"

A black Stone Giant appeared, towering thirty meters high.

It was level with the city and its momentum was unrestrained, as if one strike could shatter the city.

Do they even need a four-sided attack?

The black Stone Giant could easily crush the city.

This Stone Giant further shook the hearts of the fat man’s subordinates.
