Chapter 542 Giant Axe, Aren't you overthinking things?
The latest chapter has ignited the plot! Stay tuned for more updates.
"Alas, it's all my fault!" The founder of the giant axe laughed heartily. "I got carried away just now and didn't know my own limitations. I apologize, Holy Master..."
The founder of the Giant Axe placed the greatest emphasis on willpower and temperament when accepting disciples, which is why he took Hong as his disciple. Naturally, he himself also possessed extremely strong willpower and temperament.
Since he himself was responsible for all of this, he was willing to take responsibility for his mistakes. He valued Zhou Ze more than the most powerful treasures. If this caused Zhou Ze to harbor resentment or dissatisfaction with the clan, he would never forgive himself.
Seeing that the giant axe took the initiative to apologize, the Chaos City Lord and all the universe lords secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was really too awkward and too oppressive.
If the two most powerful beings in the clan were to have a conflict or estrangement, it would be a huge blow to any clan.
Just like the demon race, which originally possessed the strongest beings in the four universes and was the absolute number one power in the original universe, but due to the conflicts between the higher-ups, the demon race disintegrated and its strength was far less than before.
"Giant Axe, aren't you overthinking this?" Zhou Ze said helplessly, "You need to work on this impatient attitude. Can't you wait until I finish speaking?"
Upon hearing this, all the top human experts present, including Giant Axe and the Lord of Chaos City, were somewhat dumbfounded.
"I said I couldn't lend it because the Star Tower isn't in my possession..." Zhou Ze said slowly.
This sentence left everyone present feeling extremely disappointed! Especially Giant Axe and Chaos City Lord. While others had factional disputes, for Giant Axe and Chaos City Lord, the existence and significance of the supreme treasure were not limited to personal interests.
Regardless of who obtains the treasure, as long as they are human, it is a great joy for the race, filling the void of the human race lacking a supreme treasure.
Now that Zhou Ze says the Star Tower is no longer in his hands, don't be too upset about the shattering of this expectation.
Seeing the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, clearly unable to accept it, Zhou Ze couldn't help but want to laugh, a smile involuntarily curving his lips:
"Can you guys calm down? You need to work on your composure. I said the Star Tower isn't in my hands, but I didn't say it wasn't in the hands of our human race!"
"Damn it! Zhou Ze, you said Giant Axe was impatient, but can't you finish what you were saying? You're making us all anxious!"
It's hard to imagine that these words actually came from the mouth of the usually composed, calm, and unperturbed Lord of Chaos City.
"Exactly! Holy Master, you've gone a bit too far!"
"Yes! Holy Master, your personality is rather wicked!"
"Good heavens, for the first time I feel that people should be more impatient. Holy Master, you're disgusting!"
"Holy Master, do you know how much torment and pain I was going through just now? If you don't help me forge ten or eight supreme treasures, this friendship is over, do you know that?"
A group of top human powerhouses, led by the Chaos City Lord, started a fight, cursing and swearing. Even Zhou Ze's disciple, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, and the Star Prison Demon Lord, who was practically a disciple of him, complained one after another...
Even someone as easygoing and cheerful as Giant Axe couldn't help but laugh and complain, "Holy Master, I think my impatience is actually quite useful. Your slow and deliberate nature may be comfortable for you, but it makes us extremely uncomfortable!"
"Ahem..." Zhou Ze, realizing he had angered everyone, said awkwardly, "I was just a little excited, and I had some trouble organizing my thoughts. It's mainly because that stingy Luo Feng got the Star Tower, and I didn't know how to put it..."
It was actually Luo Feng who obtained the Star Tower!
This news should have shocked everyone, but for the moment, no one cared about it...
Because of Zhou Ze's terrible character, everyone temporarily ignored the news and only thought about "punishing" Zhou Ze!
The Lord of Chaos City breathed a deep sigh of relief and laughed, "You two, master and disciple, are really something. Every time I mention you to Luo Feng, that little guy gets all sorts of complaints about you, calling you a stingy person. Now, you're calling him a stingy person too..."
"So here's the question: between you two, master and apprentice, who's the stingy one?"
"Haha!" The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. After the extreme tension, the Chaos City Lord's "playful" remark made everyone laugh involuntarily.
Zhou Ze stared in disbelief, clearly astonished, and gritted his teeth in anger, saying, "This treacherous bastard is truly something else! If Chaos hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known that Luo Feng was such a rebellious disciple!"
"Looks like he's been talking about me behind my back a lot. I really missed out. I should have known better than to give him that treasure. No matter how much he pesters me, it won't work!"
Seeing Zhou Ze's exasperated expression, all the powerful figures felt indignant on Luo Feng's behalf:
"Holy Master! How can you blame Luo Feng for this? I've heard that you've never given him a single treasure!"
"That's right! You and Luo Feng grew up together when you were both in humble beginnings, so you should have the best relationship. But you didn't give Luo Feng a single treasure. You should know that even the Lord of Chaos City gave him a supreme treasure."
"Yes, it was Venerable Zhenyan who gave Luo Feng some treasures back then."
"Holy Master, you're incredibly stingy! And you even called Luo Feng a miser..."
The Lord of Chaos City initiated a group, and all the powerful figures joined the group.
Seemingly in retaliation for Zhou Ze's earlier mockery, they colluded to exonerate Luo Feng and launched a frenzied attack on Zhou Ze.
It seems to be putting into practice the saying, "Those who follow the right path will find many supporters, while those who stray from it will find few."
"I just gave him a high-grade treasure, didn't I? Look at you all, who's as generous as me, giving away such a high-grade treasure so readily!" Zhou Ze immediately retorted, "Besides, he's only a Venerable one yet. Who's as generous as me, who spoils their disciple like I do?"
Everyone fell silent, but their smiles and relaxed expressions remained. However, despite their playful banter, they weren't as magnanimous as Zhou Ze. Of course, it wasn't that they were stingy; for many powerful figures present, especially the Chaos City Lord and the Giant Axe, bestowing a high-grade treasure upon a disciple was nothing special.
They simply didn't want to force growth; they believed that disciples should acquire things through their own abilities, and at most, they would bestow upon them some life-saving treasures.
High-grade treasures... Don't be fooled by the fact that every human universe master has a top-tier treasure. High-grade treasures are already commonly used by many ordinary universe masters. Many universe masters who are not super powers or peak races only use high-grade treasures!
"Ahem... By the way, even though he's a rebellious disciple, as his teacher, I still have to help him out." Zhou Ze seemed unwilling to discuss the topic of who was the "stingy one" between the master and disciple any further.
"Giant Axe, Chaos, don't you dare try to borrow the Star Tower from that traitorous disciple. Only I knew he had the Star Tower. If he finds out I leaked it, that brat will definitely accuse me of betraying my master and ancestors!"
Zhou Ze smiled helplessly: "Besides, this guy is a real cheapskate. He always keeps good things to himself and doesn't tell anyone. I only found out by accident."
Zhou Ze subtly insulted Luo Feng again, defining his character, and Luo Feng must be extremely grateful to him.
The Lord of Chaos City solemnly said, "Holy Master, I know I shouldn't say more, but as his teacher as well, I still want to say, isn't it a bit too ostentatious for a Venerable to wield such a supreme treasure?"
