Early the next morning, Crystal was awakened by someone sent by her grandfather, and then she was taken, heading straight to the outskirts of the city.
The City Lord did not ride in his usual vehicle, but instead arranged for a very modest ancient chariot to fly in that direction. In no time, the grandfather and granddaughter arrived at the place, only to find that the remote alley was already crowded with people!
It was still very early, and under normal circumstances, the pleasure-loving Heavenly People should still be lying in their own soft and comfortable beds sleeping.
They wouldn't be like those humans, desperately cultivating all day long.
The meaning of living is to enjoy all the beauty that life brings.
But now, this group of Heavenly People all gathered here. Could it be that they were all here for the runestone communication device?
Just one night, has it fermented to such an extent?
Even the City Lord was somewhat stunned by the scene.
The remote alley had a line stretching out at least a dozen miles, with the number of Heavenly People in the tens of thousands!
One night!
It was only a matter of one night!
Last night, those young boys and girls came here and took away hundreds of runestone communication devices, and then, this morning... a scene of tens of thousands lining up here appeared!
This is simply astonishing!
Crystal was still amazed: "Oh my, these are all nobles from our city, there's one from the Star Emblem Family, one from the Hundred Herbs Family, and one from the Blue Sword Family..."
Naturally, the old man as the City Lord was more aware of those people's identities.
He couldn't help but regret, thinking he shouldn't have come here now and should have had someone secretly notify the store owner for a meeting instead.
He originally thought that since no one would see, it would be fine to come by himself. Who would have thought to encounter such a scene?
The chariot he was now riding, though not his usual one, those nobles could still recognize at a glance as belonging to the City Lord's Mansion, and it was indeed the one the City Lord himself often used privately!
Now, quite a few people had seen this chariot in midair.
"Oh, even the City Lord has come!"
"Haha, the City Lord is also attracted by this runestone communication device, isn't he?"
"This thing is really amazing, it's hard to imagine that we can actually connect with people from another infinitely distant world."
"I never felt anything about the Human Clan before, but after watching the stuff on my kid's runestone communication device last night, I suddenly liked this race. They are neither filthy nor inferior, I feel... their emotions are richer than ours, all very cute!"
"Yeah, I watched a program on it and was so moved that I cried."
The City Lord sitting inside the chariot in midair, listened expressionlessly, unable to restrain a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, he had also been fascinated by some of the new content on the runestone communication device. Although he had previously cursed the other party for being unreasonable, completely unaware of respecting the old and yielding, in a moment, he started another round, getting crushed once more. Then, the other person, probably fed up with him playing poorly, simply vanished.
This enraged the old man enough, yet Crystal reacted quickly, directly finding him another opponent, finally calming the old man's fury.
The second opponent was weaker, immediately being defeated by the old man without leaving a single piece. The old man became happy instantly, revealing a long-lost smile. This time he came intending also to take back a runestone communication device. He did not want to be looked at by that little girl Crystal with such a strange expression anymore.
Another few times, and his many-years-built prestige would be utterly lost in front of the little girl.
Chu Mo and Chu Hui were in the shop, having watched everything happening outside closely.
Chu Hui looked at Chu Mo with a proud face: "So, how's that? Brother... I'm not good at fighting, but for this sort of task, your little sister can handle it, right?"
"You can, you really can!" Chu Mo gave a thumbs up directly, praising without hesitation.
It really had to be praised; Chu Mo truly hadn't expected the power of this thing to be so immense. But when he recalled the stir these runestone communication devices caused when they first entered the hundred-plus Heavenly People worlds outside the Pangu World, he understood a bit more.
It seems, the runestone communication device is irresistible to any intelligent being.
From this, it also shows that communication... is the instinct of all intelligent beings.
Chu Hui said: "Even the City Lord came uninvited, but I really didn't expect that he would be related to that little girl. Brother, this matter is now handed over to you, okay?"
Chu Mo scratched his head and said, "Negotiating, huh? Why don't you take care of that? I'll handle distributing the rune communication devices."
Chu Hui chuckled, "Aren't you afraid those people might eat you alive? And, even though you look a bit different now, the change isn't that big. Don't forget, your image is all over the rune network. The fact that no Heavenly People have recognized you yet just shows how oblivious those kids are to this sort of thing."
Realizing this, Chu Mo immediately began to alter his appearance. He transformed into a more mature and refined young man. Moreover, with divine power guarding him, unless he wished to be recognized, no one could truly remember his face.
Then, Chu Hui's figure flashed and she disappeared from there to negotiate with the City Lord. Meanwhile, Chu Mo opened the shop's door and started distributing the rune communication devices.
At first, Chu Mo contemplated whether he needed to demonstrate how to use these devices. But he quickly realized there was no need since the device was incredibly simple to operate. The only potential hurdle was that these rune communication devices were all in human language and script.
On this, Chu Hui's attitude was very clear. She said that even the weakest cultivator among the Heavenly People Clan was at least at the stage of Da Luo Jinxian. At such a stage, learning a language is incredibly easy.
Indeed, that was true. For these Heavenly People, learning the human language was a mere thought away. So no one considered it a difficult task.
Without any need for Chu Mo to explain, the nobility among the Heavenly People collected their rune communication devices quite elegantly and expressed their sincere thanks to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo responded with a smile.
If the Heavenly People knew that the person distributing the rune communication devices was actually the Great Lord of the Heavenly Realm, countless people would be utterly stunned!
No one would believe that a dignified Great Lord would personally do such a thing.
Thus, years later, those young boys and girls firmly insisted that the man who dared to deliver devices at the shop back then was, without a doubt, the true God of the Human Clan, Chu Mo. Yet, no one believed them and accused them of talking nonsense.
This incident even sparked a furious argument on the rune network, involving the popular celebrity Crystal.
However, Crystal did not directly respond to the matter. Instead, she gave an answer that left people full of imagination.
"I regret being so young and ignorant back then..."
But that's all in the past.
At present, Chu Mo efficiently distributed all the rune communication devices to the tens of thousands of Heavenly People there.
Meanwhile, within an ancient chariot hovering in mid-air, Chu Hui began negotiations with the City Lord of the city.
Neither side played coy; they both got straight to the point.
"What exactly do you intend to do?" The City Lord looked at Chu Hui with a stern face.
"World unity," Chu Hui earnestly looked at the old man and said, "Regardless of the conflicts or even wars between the higher-ups of the Human and Heavenly People Clans, in the civilian sphere, we hope that the entire vast world can merge and communicate. That's our goal."
The old man studied Chu Hui with an impassive expression and said blandly, "Your goal isn't solely that, is it? Even though my rank isn't high and I'm not privy to many secrets, I know for sure that your current actions must be hiding some deeper intention."
Chu Hui smiled, "You're wise. I'll admit that tremendous benefits can arise from this. Are you interested in collaborating with us?"
"If I do this, it would be considered... colluding with the enemy, wouldn't it?" The old man replied blandly, but did not sternly refuse.
Chu Hui laughed, "How is this collusion? You haven't sold any secrets of the Immeasurable Heaven, nor have you harmed its interests..."
The old man looked at Chu Hui, "Then tell me..."
"Alright." Chu Hui then began speaking at length.
Sitting nearby, Crystal, who had been silent, watched the incredibly beautiful elder sister with admiration. She thought this elder sister was truly amazing, her eloquence superb! Everything she said sounded so reasonable, leaving no room for counterarguments.
"The banks..." The old man frowned and pondered, "That topic is somewhat sensitive. However, in my territory, I make the decisions. In this western world of Immeasurable Heaven, there are perhaps twenty or thirty other City Lords on friendly terms with me. They likewise belong to their own circles. If things proceed as you say, and you don't control the banks, sharing the profits with the Heavenly People City Lords and those nobles, I think this matter is definitely worth considering."
Chu Hui nodded, "It's actually a win-win situation. The magic of the rune communication devices, I believe, you've already seen. Aside from that, you're well aware of how many beings reside in your city. If I give you a large number of rune communication devices, you... can sell them."
The old man's breath suddenly became rapid, his eyes instantly sharp, "You mean it?"
"Of course. But don't price them too high. We hope everyone can have one," Chu Hui said casually, "because the real profit comes from future banks."
The old man nodded vigorously, "Alright, I understand. Wait for me here for a day. For now... please refrain from giving out any more!"
In his heart, the City Lord had already agreed to Chu Hui's proposed method of cooperation. If the distribution continued, the losses would be his own profits!
