Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 572 Well, I'll give you a chance to grow up

Dennis stared at William, finally gritting his teeth and saying, "Are you sure you want to bet that this worthless stone can produce a treasure?!"

"Of course, we'll bet on this!" William nodded, saying, "Then I'll be the one to open this stone!"

"You want to open it yourself, then go ahead, no one is stopping you!" Dennis, too, was nearly at his breaking point with these constant shifts in the situation. He chose to believe his great-grandfather's judgment, convinced that the person before him was merely a Mortal Deity pretending to be a disciple of the Sea God Poseidon.

No matter what this person did next, he had to stick to this belief.

Otherwise, he'd be constantly startled, possibly scared into having a heart attack by this youngster.

William didn't dawdle,he picked up a dagger and prepared to cut the stone.

Leander finally began to reassess the stone stool he had been sitting on for many years.

But no matter how he looked at it, this stone stool didn't seem like it could contain anything valuable.

This stone had been lying around in the courtyard for some years, and it was unclear from which vein it had been excavated, but one thing was certain: it definitely wasn't from an ancient abyssal vein.

An object of no value, a square stone that looked more like a stool, had been used by Leander just for sitting.

Could something valuable really be extracted from this shabby stone?

He finally began to seriously examine the stone stool that had accompanied him for thousands of years.

Surprisingly, it faintly retained some energy.

But that was likely just because he had been sitting on it for years during meditation.

To say that cutting it open would reveal some great treasure, he truly didn't believe it.

William didn't give him much chance to ponder further, cutting open a small part of it.

A white cut surface!

Nothing at all.

Dennis loudly stated, "If the thing cut from this stone isn't even worth fifty thousand energy crystals, then it doesn't count as your win!"

This statement was indeed reasonable.

Their bet was fifty thousand energy crystals. If the item produced wasn't even worth that, how could it be considered a treasure?

Alice, sitting on the side, seemed to be enjoying the show. She saw that there was something inside, but doubted it was worth fifty thousand energy crystals.

Hearing Dennis's challenge, William nodded and said, "Of course, but what if something alive comes out of it? Would that mean I win or you?"

"A living thing? Don't bluff me here. This stone isn't from the ancient abyss, and even if something alive came out, how much could it possibly be worth in energy crystals?" Dennis dared to bet with William because he had some discernment. It wasn't impossible for the stone to contain something, but its value couldn't possibly exceed a hundred energy crystals.

Did you really think you could just pick up any stone at the Sacred Gem Exchange and find a treasure?

The Sacred Gem Exchange runs a gem gambling business to maximize the profits from ores, not to hand out benefits to everyone!

Alice was curious about how exactly William planned to win.

Yes, she wanted to see how William would win in this situation!

In her eyes, William couldn't possibly lose,it was just a matter of seeing how he would win.

William didn't continue to bluff him and even put away his dagger. With a flick of his finger on the stone stool, it split in half, and a golden centipede, no more than an inch long and motionless as if dead, appeared in William's hand.

Alice rolled her eyes upon seeing the centipede, a smile creeping onto her lips.

Indeed, she hadn't been mistaken.

The living thing cut from the stone earlier had been stealthily stored by William in his spatial storage ring, only to be suddenly revealed now.

Dennis and Jacob stared at the centipede in William's hand for a while.

Apart from being entirely golden, it didn't seem to have any other special qualities.

"You're not trying to tell me this centipede is worth fifty thousand energy crystals, are you?" Dennis sneered.

He didn't catch the trick William was playing, but he certainly didn't believe the centipede was worth fifty thousand energy crystals.

William, unruffled, asked, "A larva of the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede, not worth fifty thousand energy crystals?"

"Multi-eyed Golden Centipede?" Dennis laughed, "You say it's a Multi-eyed Golden Centipede, and it is?"

Jacob also laughed, "Ancient texts record that the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede was a mystical insect from the era of the ancient gods. For so many years, no one has seen one. Now you say this is it? Motionless, just a dead centipede. You can say whatever you like, but to claim it's worth fifty thousand energy crystals, that's truly a fantasy."

William chuckled, "Who told you it's dead?"

"Not dead?" Jacob, feeling his performance in front of his great-grandfather was not as good as Dennis's, laughed loudly, "If it comes to life, I'll eat it right here and now!"

William sneered, "You want to eat it? I reckon its first thought upon waking would be the same about you."

After saying that, he gently prodded the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede's body with his finger. The little insect began to slowly move in William's palm, and the aura of energy around it gradually dispersed.

The terrifying aura of energy from the era of the ancient gods enveloped the entire courtyard.

The faces of Dennis and others changed drastically, this aura made them feel threatened in their very lives.

Leander was dumbfounded.

What was happening?

He had been sitting on top of a fearsome ancient beast, the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede, during his daily meditations?

The thought alone sent shivers down his spine.

Little did he know, all this was just a trick by William.

Who could discern William's masterful substitution technique?

18:42

In a moment, some small slits appeared on the back of the Who could discern William's masterful substitution technique?

In a moment, some small slits appeared on the back of the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede, with only the two eyes at the front opening. Just that alone, a beam of golden light shot out, and the terrifying energy aura of this little creature could be felt throughout the courtyard.

The gods of the Sanctuary of the Celestial Gods now knew that William the Obliterator was in the third area.

Previously, in front of William's house, Zeus had stopped other deities from approaching William. When they sensed this energy aura originating from the third area, they had no intention of intervening.

As for such a ferocious creature being born, as long as William was there, it was probably just another dish on the table, at most they considered whether to go over for a meal.

But in the end, considering it was just a small centipede, they dismissed the thought.

Thus, the truly powerful gods of the Divine Alliance remained inactive, the weaker ones could not avoid in time, and only some unaware Creator Deities went there, wanting to tame this newly born ferocious creature.

Within the Sacred Gem Exchange, Osric and Yorick also couldn't move.

In reality, it was just the larva of a Multi-eyed Golden Centipede. Aside from its special abilities, its strength wasn't overwhelmingly powerful, and both men would definitely be able to survive.

But they actually saw this legendary ferocious creature, after crawling around in William's hand, roll over like it was being coy.

What?!

Is this still the ancient ferocious creature?

Under normal circumstances, wouldn't its first action upon waking be to bite directly into William's palm?

Given the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede's toxicity, even a Supreme Deity-level powerhouse would suffer greatly from a single bite.

But this creature became like a well-behaved baby in William's palm, quickly retracting its aura, acting coy and cute, without any intention of showing aggression.

Alice, looking at the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede in William's hand, curiously stood up and approached, asking, "Can I touch it?"

William glanced at the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede, which immediately understood what it was supposed to do, tilting its little head towards Alice and nodding with its body.

Alice, surprised, asked, "Can it understand what I'm saying?"

William said, "If you like it, you can keep it. If not, I'll take care of it for a while."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede immediately sensed something, scurrying onto Alice's hand and even nuzzling her fingers with its head.

"Then I'll keep it." Although Alice didn't find the centipede cute, this centipede that could understand human speech could still be kept for fun, seeing how it behaved, it probably wouldn't eat much.

William nodded, not saying much more.

He had initially thought of fattening it up for a skewered centipede barbecue, thinking it looked quite delicious, having never encountered one before, he really didn't know how it would taste.

But since Alice wanted to keep it, he let it be for now.

Actually, such larvae probably taste better.

After growing for a while, the meat tends to become tougher, especially for such ancient god-era creatures, after growing for some time, the meat quality completely changes.

William gave the Multi-eyed Golden Centipede a deep look, thinking, well, considering your naive youth, I'll give you a chance to grow up.
