"They might end up consuming part of it, then find out the quantity is too much, and have no choice but to store it or....."
"Your Excellency Lu Ping’an, a Messenger has arrived, proposing a contract to trade ’authority’. "
As expected, Lu Ping’an’s reputation for ’transactions’ still prevails, so when a ’need for trade’ arises, I am a quite suitable intermediary and overseer.
At this moment, if Lu Ping’an chooses to enter the battlefield voluntarily, the other side will not trust us.
And now, the first trade contract has already appeared.
Unfortunately, the deal involves ’the authority of sky and wind’, and the exchange targets are a ’Demigod slot’ and the ’Armored Dragon’s rule environment.’
These things hold no real significance for Lu Ping’an; he provided the trade contract and urged both parties to peacefully complete the transaction.
"In the current environment, the entire world has turned into a battlefield. In such harsh conditions, any walking Deity and Legion will face extreme sniping, inevitably falling into continuous warfare. Finding their aligned World Essence here, then holding it and achieving successful Fusion... don’t dream about it."
Right now, only Zhuzhu has absorbed successfully, because she herself is of the direct lineage of "Spider Deities," already possessing various authorities, and the Fusion and incubation of this god series’s rule environment proceeded naturally.
Those old lords probably have already tasted the meat... But they possess too much wealth, intelligence has already leaked out, considering that the war is growing fiercer.
The Domineering Three Faces retreated due to this overly intense battlefield.
"The rule environments I need are ’Life’, ’Trade’, ’Contract’, and ’Flame’..."
Instead of searching blindly, Lu Ping’an might as well wait for trading opportunities.
"Thank you all for your trust. If possible, we hope to sign a long-term contract here."
"Oh, I’m also grateful for your attention and trust, but I cannot provide guarantees in this regard; here is merely a trade platform..."
As the intermediary in trade, Lu Ping’an refused the role of further alliance overseer.
He is the ’God of Trading,’ nothing more, not the ’Covenant God’ or ’Contract God’.
"A Merchant God, huh... well."
The ’Saint’ of the Storm God speaks bluntly, but his previous persuasion was not excessive.
In their logic and commonsense, trade and contract have not been segregated; only when the goods society reaches a certain level do these ’liberal arts’ become more categorized.
And the Trader who traveled from afar must naturally be an amazingly powerful Big Shot.
In the first deal, as the transaction supervisory body bearing responsibility, Lu Ping’an collected only a rather low transaction fee, even surprising the two traders.
Perhaps, in their Concept, such ’participant’ taking a two or three-layer cut is normal, Lu Ping’an’s ’asking lions price’ of ten percent was practically like welfare.
"If possible, just introduce more traders; you can also see, under me the trade contract can receive guarantees, this area is unable to wage war..."
Lu Ping’an knows well, after growing to this extent, ’unable to wage war’s courtyard’ is hardly absolute anymore.
But for most ninth-order lords, such a limitation is absolute; even as regular Deities, they cannot exert their full power in this world... any Big Shot tearing apart their own rules need not bother trading here.
"Somewhat interesting....."
After the traders left, Lu Ping’an tossed the ’blue gems’ in his hands into the Taboo Library.
Now, that gigantic library had already expanded a lot more, just a bit of accumulation shy of becoming a ’museum.’"
The ’World Essence’ both sides traded was not complete, but already astonishing in volume; after the materialization segmentation and extraction via Trading Land’s rules, Lu Ping’an also gained ’ten percent.’
These ’wind and sky’ gems are but scraps for the Big Shots, yet just right for seventh and eighth order Extraordinary.
And the ’Armored Dragon’s gene module’ was added into the race library of the Mother of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Lu Ping’an requested nothing high, those fractional extracts were enough to nurture his Demigod.
He and most local Deities are no longer in the same evolution direction; they naturally tread down the path of solo consumption, while these ’little gems’ can cultivate Lu Ping’an’s power group.
"Wind and sky..... perhaps, raise another Magic Pet?"
This aspect of authority, Lu Ping’an does not have.
As the ’Master of Life,’ Lu Ping’an found his ethnic group lacking a piece.
"Seems indeed I need some Birdmen..."
This aspect of authority, Lu Ping’an is also in need of; the armored and feathered ones fall within the range of authority Lu Ping’an requires.
As the Master of Life, the more ’ethnic group authority’ under him, the stronger he naturally becomes.
"Isn’t this just like Lin Nu, when placed there, entering her forest allows it to grow stronger..."
"In a way, we are of the same source....."
The same root Life System ultimately overlaps in certain areas, offering a subtle feeling to Lu Ping’an.
Only, he increasingly absorbs Lin Nu’s lesson.
Life’s Master is destined not to walk alone... uh, Chris is an exception, yet she was also a negative example.
Thus, how to coexist with own ’Demigod’, ’the Family Clan’, ’Beast Taming,’ forms the core of his doctrine, must align with World’s Reason’s core, and even constitutes their personal character.
Once more is Chris this negative example, bringing forth the creed of the Mother Goddess, destined not to tolerate other ’High-Tier Life,’ foreordained to venture down the road of a lone ruler’s demise.
And Lin Nu actually also serves as a negative example, she allowed the Forest Land to develop on its own, herself merely nominally a ’goddess,’ only when a ’king’ emerges to venerate her can she indirectly possess ruling power.
Up until she botched, she still did not foster her own king.
Granted her enough time, she might mend all of this....
"I will be a Divine King, yet also the ’guardian’ to the Demigods..."
Lu Ping’an’s path baffled many Informed-persons, as Lu Ping’an wasn’t exactly a ’Tyrant’, his restraint over the underlings is overly ’permissive,’ even looser than Lin Nu.
Yet now, he can cross ’self-limitations’, crown his own god series king.
"I thought you’d get stuck at this stage..."
Chris was most puzzled, in her eyes, Lu Ping’an was overly obsessed with ’trade’ and ’equality’, should self-resist becoming a Supreme Being and Controller.
"God as a rule existence cannot perform actions it doesn’t self-affirm perfectly."
"I am the guardian, yet not the king... uh, my relation with them more parallels Central Bank and commerce, local banks, and various enterprises, I never was an advocate of complete free economy."
Lu Ping’an never pursues procedural total fairness, more favored is fairness of opportunity and result, always an Executor of market intervention.
He, as the ’Central Bank’, manipulates numerous policies countless times, actively promoting market environment’s positive development.
"Really, regarding free trade, Lin Nu is more so... I’m free, results with you all aren’t my concern."
Lu Ping’an strives for life’s ’mutual win,’ perpetually intervening from the start.
Given market demand, he can be an ’Investor’, can be a ’Lender’, can be an ’Operator’.
Excessively flexible bottom lines bewilder some, yet from another perspective, his prospects grow ever brighter.
Unknowingly, Lu Ping’an has already formed a ’god series’ centered around himself.
Once the big picture is established, everyone has found their place, Demigods gradually settled.
As another Demigod gets enfeoffed, Lu Ping’an touches the authority of Divine King.
