On Myriad Star Island, a meeting was underway, with Xu Jingming, the dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord in attendance.
"We've reaped quite the harvest in the Primordial Gold Mountains over the past few centuries," the dean marveled. "Each of us got around 8,000 Primordial Gold Beads from the various deposits, worth more than three drops of Abyssal Mother Blood."
"I got more than that," Xu Jingming remarked.
"That's a gift from Thearch Dragon Island Lord. You earned it with your personal strength, so we can't ask to share it," Eternal Tower Master said with a grin. This was the way high-dimensional human lifeforms divvied up their spoils of war. Anyone who made a contribution received an equal share, while anything earned through individual effort belonged solely to them.
