Basically, a customer taking part in a jade bet would choose unopened rocks to bet on. They would make a profit if the piece of jade inside the rock turned out to be good or suffer a huge loss if it turned out to be a bust.

Running into an event like that by chance, Wilbur thought he might as well give it a try.

The shop owner welcomed him into the store warmly, leading Wilbur right to the back of the shop.

The backyard was around three to four hundred square meters wide. It was filled with rocks of all shapes and sizes.

These rocks were all tagged with different prices. The lowest prices started at around 100 thousand dollars and went all the way up to over five million dollars.

There was a large number of people in the backyard looking around when he arrived. They all seemed to be pretty well-informed, murmuring amongst themselves over which rocks looked like a better choice.

Wilbur, a complete outsider, did not see any difference in the rocks apart from their sizes.

    Wilbur was surprised to hear the name. What a coincidence! Just then, the shop owner and several guests there got a shock as well. Kenji had made quite a name for himself. The shop owner walked over, bowing to Kenji. "Mr. Lilith! It's an honor to have you in my shop." "Of course it is," Kenji said haughtily. The shop owner said, "However, I'm afraid that bidding has always been Octocharm Town's way of doing things." "I said we can do it your way, didn't I?" Kenji said coldly. The shop owner nodded with a smile, coming in front of Wilbur. "Sir, do you have any objection to this?" "No." Wilbur was just going to follow the rules as he did not care too much. Just then, the shop owner said, "Alright, then. Everyone here can act as a witness. Let the bidding begin." Everyone was excited, crowding over eagerly. After all, this hardly happened anymore. The crowd sat down, sipping their tea while they waited for the show to start. The shop owner looked around him before

    The crowd gasped, and Kenji's anger boiled over as he slammed his fist down on the armrest of his chair. "Eight hundred thousand!" The crowd was stunned. Everyone knew that Kenji was flipping out. It was no longer about the rock. They then looked at Wilbur, curious to see what he would do next. Wilbur fell silent for a while, before flashing a smile. "You sure are generous, Mr. Lilith. The rock's yours." The crowd heaved a sigh of relief at last, even though they were less than satisfied with how things had turned out. It felt like they had tasted a scrumptious dish, but the portion was far too small. They could not help but feel a little dissatisfied. Some of the people who knew Kenji, however, were starting to worry for Wilbur on his behalf. Kenji was known for his nasty temper, and Wilbur might be getting into trouble after striking a nerve on him like that. Just then, Kenji sneered and took a sip of tea. The shop owner hurried to the middle of the room to call o

    The rock that Wilbur was pointing to was just for decor. The crowd wondered what was going on in his mind, trying to buy something like that. How could a rock like that be worth anything at all? Even the shop owner was confused. "Young man, this is just a decor item. It's not a rock to bet on. You must be mistaken." Wilbur said. "Yes, but you sell rocks, don't you? This is a rock right here, so give me a price." "Uhm…" The shop owner was a little conflicted. He had never experienced anything like this before and was at a loss for how to respond. Kenji smiled all of a sudden. "What's this? Are you telling me that a rock like this could have a piece of jade in it, buddy?" "And what if it does?" Wilbur replied with a smile. The crowd shook their heads. Wilbur was truly getting out of hand here. If any random rock could have a piece of jade in it, the rocks in the rivers would be all gone. Kenji chuckled as he looked at Wilbur. "You seem pretty confident. Why don't we make

    The crowd ran over, huddling around the cutting machine. The rock was cut into, and there was a glimmer of green coming from the inside. That was something that only could be seen in the finest of jade. The crowd gasped in awe. The staff member operating the cutting machine got a lot more careful. He flipped the rock over and resumed cutting into the rock much more slowly. Kenji's smile vanished from his face. He was unable to believe that there would be jade in a piece of rock like that. It was important to note that if this turned out to be a good piece of jade, it might even be an emerald jade. Emerald jade was considered to be the finest form of jade there was. A few minutes later, the rock had cracked open to reveal a walnut-sized piece of deep green, emerald jade. The crowd was left in awe at the sight of it. "That's an ice emerald jade." "No, I think it's frost emerald!" "Are you kidding me? That's glass emerald." The piece of jade had not been sanded d

    Wilbur smiled, not saying anything. A while later, the shop owner passed the piece of imperial jade to Wilbur with both hands and a wistful expression on his face. "Congratulations, young man. You got a piece of imperial jade." Wilbur took the piece of jade and inspected it closely. The piece of jade had jagged edges and was a mossy green overall. It glinted in the sun, with its color changing slightly under the light. He channeled his spirit energy into the jade and found that the density was extremely high. Just what he had wanted. Wilbur let out a chuckle. "Thank you, sir." The shop owner was speechless, and Wilbur turned to look at Kenji. "I believe we had a bet with each other just now, didn't we?" Kenji's murderous expression turned into a grimace. He took out his checkbook, filled in the details, and passed it to the shop owner. "Don't worry, buddy. I'm a man of my word," Kenji said. The shop owner handed the check to Wilbur. Wilbur gave it a glance and put

    Imperial jade was incredibly hard, and any other carving knife would hardly be able to make a dent in it. Yet as Wilbur picked up the knife, the blade glowed white as it was charged with a layer of spirit energy. He started out with the big carving knife, cutting the jade down into a teardrop shape before sanding the edges down. Then he picked out the smaller carving knife and began to carve a complicated pattern on one side of the teardrop. Every cut he made into the jade flashed with a spiritual glow. As he kept going, the pattern on the jade went from a series of symbols to a mysterious formation. The formation grew more and more complicated, and Wilbur's forehead began to bead with sweat. Three hours later, Wilbur finally made the last cut on the piece of jade. The formation on the jade lit up, emanating a white spiritual glow that filled the entire room. A few seconds later, the glow slowly faded as the formation on the jade disappeared as well. Wilbur let out

    Faye was only wearing a slip dress with thin straps. The front of the dress was so low that it almost revealed her entire chest. It was clear that she was wearing nothing underneath. The dress was also extremely short, barely covering her thighs. She did not seem to be wearing any underwear, either. Wilbur was almost certain she was completely bare. Her exquisite features were enhanced with light makeup, and the dress left little to the imagination. She was making it almost impossible for Wilbur to resist. He turned away hurriedly, worried his nose might start bleeding if he stared any longer. That would be embarrassing. Faye swayed down the staircase. She took out a bottle of wine, then a bottle of champagne. She set both bottles down at the dining table and sat down across from Wilbur. She poured out two glasses, raising one of them. "To you, Boss." "No, today's your day. I have a gift for you." Wilbur took out the jade necklace and passed it to Faye. Faye gasped, s

    Wilbur was a man with his needs too. It was just that he had a working relationship with Faye, and whatever happened with Yvonne had made him rethink his relationships as well. He had gotten together with Yvonne because he was sick of the fighting and killing and wanted a normal life. Yet after divorcing Yvonne and moving here, he had almost fallen for Faye's temptations several times. After thinking it through, he finally understood several things. His lifespan was far longer than that of a regular human being. If he got together with Faye, she would eventually grow old and die. Wilbur felt like watching someone he loved die in his arms was something he could not really handle. The thought was enough for him to firmly bury his feelings for Faye, resorting to playing dumb all the time. Wilbur shook his head. It was better to play dumb until he figured out a way around that. He got up and carried Faye to her bed. Faye was really drunk this time. However, she had a

    Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked

    It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo

    Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu

    Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh

    The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all

    Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t

    Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then

    Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F

    "Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
