Looking back at the starry cosmos, Qin Shou pondered silently.

Just now, that was...

Heavenly Dao Consciousness!

It actually possesses such power!

To protect the billions of living beings on the Heavenly Artifact Continent, the Heavenly Dao Consciousness shifted their battle into the universe.

Lost in thought, spiritual fluctuations came forth; Heavenly Eye's ferocious expression gradually calmed.

"Earthling, you're quite impressive, I acknowledge your strength!"

Qin Shou laughed lightly, "Same to you, Nine-eyed Demon God, truly the strongest of the Demigod Realm!"

This wasn't a duel to the death; once the fight is over, we're done here.

Although, he did consider turning this guy into crafting material...

Heavenly Eye said, "Speak then, what do you all want?"

Qin Shou shrugged, "That, you'll have to negotiate with them."

"Fine, but you all must promise to go all out, no sneaky tricks in private," Heavenly Eye replied.

Qin Shou chuckled, "You can rest assured about that. After all, someone up there is watching. If we tried scheming against you, that great one wouldn't be pleased. We're not that foolish, we're only here for profit."

The "great one" in question was Master Hundred Eyes.

On hearing this, Heavenly Eye thought it over—it made sense. On Demon Eye Planet, he was the only Nine-eyed Demon God. No way would Master Hundred Eyes abandon him.

The next moment, he heard Qin Shou say, "But with our current strength, we can't hold off Mirror Planet. They've already taken control of the Demon Sect—the gap in power isn't just superficial.

To stall for time and give you a chance to recover from your injuries, we need a foolproof plan!"

Seeing Heavenly Eye frown deeply, Qin Shou added, "I have an idea. Why not give it a try?"

"You?" Heavenly Eye's expression turned wary.

Qin Shou waved dismissively, "Don't worry. I already said we're only after profit. You're the apple of that great one's eye; we wouldn't dare screw you over. If you were harmed, we'd all be in serious trouble."

Heavenly Eye gave a slight nod, "What's your solution?"

Qin Shou stroked his chin and said, "Find a way to grant those Monster Puppets temporary mobility, then set them up around the perimeter of the Demon Eye Base as a deterrent to Mirror Planet. Even if they come to test the waters, it'll only be a probe—not an all-out offense."

"What?!"

At those words, Heavenly Eye's face darkened.

"Impossible! The Monster Puppets cannot move without my control!"

Qin Shou silently rejoiced. This guy clearly does have a way to let the Monster Puppets temporarily act on their own.

That makes things easier.

He adopted a persuading tone, "Lord Heavenly Eye, even if you don't trust us, surely you trust that great one.

If we tried stealing a high-level Demigod Realm Monster Puppet, do you think those above us would risk entirely offending that great one over a single puppet?

Moreover, your weakened strength isn't beneficial for Earth either.

If you're worried about Mirror Planet, then it's simple. While our power may be average, during a major battle, we can still create some chaos. Would you really fear your Monster Puppets being forcibly taken away?"

Qin Shou's tone shifted to one of doubt, an obvious taunt visible to anyone.

But Heavenly Eye fell for it—it suited his temperament—and he also found Qin Shou's reasoning quite logical.

"Afraid? I've never feared anyone in my entire life!"

Heavenly Eye snorted coldly, then looked at Qin Shou with admiration.

"Earth kid, you're quite capable. Let's proceed with your idea. If one day you find yourself unable to make it on Earth anymore, feel free to come find me."

Coming up with strategies had never been his strong suit.

And he seldom listened to the Eight-eyed Demon's advice—too weak in power; how smart could their brain even be?

Yet Master Hundred Eyes often claimed his nine magic eyes were powerful, but at the expense of intelligence.

Hmph, I refuse to believe that nonsense!

See? I can even lower myself to recruit Earth's supreme talents.

Heavenly Eye felt secretly pleased within.

On the other side, Qin Shou hesitated and said, "But I'm not one of the Demon Eye Star People…"

"Don't worry, with me around, no one dares to say a word about it!"

"Haha, then I'll offer my gratitude in advance for your protection, Brother Heavenly Eye."

"No problem, no problem. In the future, if Earth plans any operations, feel free to inform me—I might be able to lend a hand."

"Brother Heavenly Eye, you're a true ally."

"Haha, average—just average in loyalty."

"No, Brother Heavenly Eye is the epitome of loyalty!"

"Loyal? Do I look old to you?"

Heavenly Eye grew flustered, hastily reaching up to touch the crow's feet near his eyes.

Internally, Qin Shou was speechless. This guy's brain was missing a screw—why even bother strategizing against him at this point!
