Old Piao scoffed at Zhu Biyu's so-called 【major news】: "Haven't you been talking about this intelligence for ages? What Nine Sons Seizing the Throne? Do they really think nine Princes can sweep through the 799th Layer?"
Zhu Biyu chuckled: "Old Piao, don't be impatient! I told you about the Nine Dragons Seizing the Throne intelligence before, because that intelligence is exciting!"
"We all know the current Three-Eyed God Emperor was a super genius who won during the Nine Sons Seizing the Throne. He swept through two Layers of Abyss consecutively back then; he was the epitome of Invincible!"
"Because he experienced the Nine Sons Seizing the Throne himself, his dozens of Princes must undergo similar brutal competition. Didn't the Three-Eyed Crown Prince on the 789th Layer emerge victorious from the War of the Seven Kings?"
Wu Feng, however, was quite interested in this intelligence. The Three-Eyed Clan was the most powerful among the Ten Races that won after the Hegemony Era ended, and their clansmen possessed exceptional Talent.
Moreover, the Three-Eyed Clan utilized a feudal dynastic ruling structure. Although less 'civilized' than the Blue Star world, it facilitated their concentration of power and resources.
The current emperor of the Three-Eyed Clan is known as the Three-Eyed God Emperor. Forty years ago, he was a figure of the Invincible generation, suppressing all the Strong Experts of that era to the point they couldn't raise their heads, securing the top seat for the Three-Eyed Clan.
The Three-Eyed God Emperor entered the same Layer of Abyss with his eight brothers back then, though not all of them were full brothers. However, due to the Three-Eyed God Emperor's Legendary performance, the struggle among the Three-Eyed Clan Princes was described as the Nine Sons Seizing the Throne.
Many brainless fans of the Three-Eyed Clan on Blue Star often bring this up, yet Wu Feng's generation unexpectedly encountered this so-called 'Nine Sons Seizing the Throne.'
Zhu Biyu became more animated as he spoke: "To set up this Nine Sons Seizing the Throne scenario, the Three-Eyed God Emperor even married a Female Lord from our Blue Star! This time, the Fourth Prince among the nine Princes is the descendant of the Three-Eyed God Emperor and the Rose Lord."
Because Zhu Biyu frequently discussed the Nine Sons Seizing the Throne, he specifically looked up a batch from a hundred years ago and gave nicknames to the nine Three-Eyed Clan Princes entering the Abyss this time.
Something like Eldest Brother, Second Brother, all the way to Fourteenth Brother—anyway, they were all 'A'ge' (Princes). If a Three-Eyed Clan Prince heard this, they would surely skin him alive!
Old Piao looked astonished: "Fourth Prince? You mean that Mixed-blood Prince? The one whose Nezha took 3 years and 6 months to be born?"
Zhu Biyu nodded: "Exactly, him! I saw a company has already opened Betting Odds for the Nine Sons Seizing the Throne! I'm going to Go All In and bet on him winning!"
Wu Feng had previously heard Zhu Biyu mention this 'Fourth Prince,' Li Tianming, whose name he took from his mother. Wu Feng didn't know where Zhu Biyu learned the detail that his mother carried him for three years and six months.
In the Mythical legends from a hundred years ago, didn't that powerful immortal also take three years and six months to be born?
Speaking of which, Li Tianming was even more formidable than Nezha, because three years and six months in the Abyss is equivalent to over six years a century ago!
After all, with the 42-hour system now, the average gestation period for Blue Star humans is only five and a half months, and Kobolds even have a litter every four months.
"They opened Betting Odds? By the time the results of the Nine Sons Seizing the Throne are out, it will probably be years later. Are there odds with such a long cycle?" Wu Feng was somewhat puzzled; this guy Zhu Biyu always managed to find strange information.
Zhu Biyu looked smug: "Of course not that long! Their betting content is about whose Lord Score is highest seven days after the Golden Novice Period ends. I think the Fourth Prince has the highest chance of winning!"
"He has already obtained a Legendary Quality Hero. The Three-Eyed God Emperor gave all nine Princes ten Legend Quality Summoning Scrolls and massive resources, and only the Fourth Prince successfully summoned an Orange Hero!"
Hearing this, Wu Feng's heart stirred. He previously thought summoning an Orange Hero made him Invincible, but he didn't expect the Three-Eyed Clan Princes to summon Legend Heroes.
However, this was not surprising. The Three-Eyed God Emperor controlled two Layers of Abyss! The resources he possessed were unimaginable.
His Newbie Gift Pack for the Princes must have been incredibly generous. Ten Legend Summoning Scrolls per person equals a consumption of 1000 Legend Summoning Scrolls for the Three-Eyed God Emperor!
The total quantity for nine Princes combined is astonishing. This expenditure is equivalent to dozens of Mythical Grade Summoning Scrolls, which could potentially summon a Mythic Hero.
The treatment of the Royal Family is unimaginable. Besides Heroes, the Resource Crystals, Treasure Chest Keys, and various items they received must be countless, as the influential families supporting them would certainly place heavy bets.
Compared to Novice Lords who don't even have White Crystal, the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
Is it fair? It's certainly not fair, but this world has never been absolutely fair! Wu Feng worked so hard previously precisely to narrow these gaps.
Old Piao sneered: "Heh heh, which rich second-generation kid from our Blue Star can compare resources with the Three-Eyed Princes? We can't compete based on birth, but in the Abyss, the Newbie Gift Pack doesn't decide everything."
"As long as we seize various opportunities, we can still overturn those so-called Three-Eyed Clan Princes!"
Old Piao voiced what Wu Feng wanted to say. Although the Three-Eyed Clan Princes started with countless times more resources than him, he wasn't discouraged; the Talents of these Princes might not be better than his!
"Old Zhu, this intelligence is too broad. You'd better find a way to get the Lord IDs or Region Numbering Codes of the nine Princes; that is the truly Precious intelligence."
"I have matters in my Territory; I'm logging off now!" Wu Feng saw that the Goblin Shop was almost ready, so he quickly bid farewell to his two friends.
"Aww! Xiao Feng hasn't even told us his Region Numbering Code yet! I hope he doesn't run into a Three-Eyed Clan Prince..." Before Zhu Biyu could ask Wu Feng about his start, he had already left the private space.
It was Teacher Piao who heard Zhu Biyu's later words: "There are only 9 Princes in total, and every Layer of Abyss has one million Regions. The chance of encountering one is lower than winning the lottery, right?"
Zhu Biyu nodded: "That's true. I hope none of us encounter a Three-Eyed Clan Prince, and preferably not even a Dragon Guard..."
"The Newbie Gift Packs and resources those Dragon Guards received are only one or two tiers below those of the Three-Eyed Clan Princes. I don't want to compete on the same stage as a bunch of big spenders."
...
Wu Feng's consciousness returned to his body. He quickly pushed open the door of the Lord's Cabin and arrived in front of the newly constructed Goblin Shop. However, the shop was empty; he still needed to recruit a Merchant.
When he checked the conditions for recruiting a Merchant, it actually required having Goblin members within the Territory!
Goblin Shop: Goblin Merchants who have experienced various Zero Yuan Purchases are very timid and will only dare to trade with the Lord if there are members of their own race living in the Territory.
After reading the description, Wu Feng took a long moment before spitting out a sentence: "Is this Goblin Merchant from the Lighthouse Country? Why are they so cautious?"
"Luckily, I have members of the Goblin Race in my Territory!"
Wu Feng looked at the Goblin Warrior under Vigus, who was drooling infatuatedly. Although this guy was a bit dull-witted, he was still a Territory member. Vigus kept him, and unexpectedly, he proved useful.
Thus, after spending 100 Magic Crystals, Wu Feng successfully recruited one Green-Skinned Goblin Merchant.
A short figure sneakily crept in from outside the Territory. Only after the Star Cluster Tower determined he was not an enemy was he allowed to approach the Goblin Shop alive.
This Goblin Merchant carried a backpack larger than himself. Inadvertently, a Green Crystal fell out, and after taking a couple of steps, a Green Treasure Chest Key dropped out.
This backpack full of items must be his entire fortune. Not to mention others, even Wu Feng felt the urge for a 'Zero Yuan Purchase.'
However, he didn't act on it, because if he attacked the Merchant, he would be blacklisted by the Merchants and wouldn't be able to recruit any other Merchants in the future.
"You are the Lord of this Territory? It's a pleasure to meet you. I am the Goblin Merchant Grandet."
