Inside the Star Tower, Qin Hao and Zuo Shanke were both observing the person before them.
Qin Hao's understanding of Zuo Shanke was limited to some information from the original novel, most of which was no longer very clear. Looking at the former God King expert before him, who had existed in the Primordial Universe for countless years, and whose current displayed strength was only at the True God realm, it was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.
It was like a max-level boss returning to a beginner village, mostly playing a game of life in the Primordial Universe while searching for potential individuals who could assist him in the future.
Zuo Shanke was even more curious about Qin Hao. How could a genius from the Primordial Universe grow so rapidly, embark on the God Power Route, and progress so far on the law path? His talent in Fusion Laws also exceeded Zuo Shanke's expectations.
“Let's go, come in and have a chat,” Zuo Shanke finally said helplessly. For a former God King, even after being killed, he still had countless backup plans. Not only did he revive through reincarnation, but he was also continuously searching for helpers to exact his revenge.
Throughout this process, Zuo Shanke was extremely cautious, wanting to bring everything under his control, but nothing was as simple as he had imagined. Finding suitable candidates from the Primordial Universe was like sifting for gold in a vast sea.
Hence, the existence of Earth and Yan Emperor was also to create a powerful expert with potential. Luo Feng, who was currently receiving the inheritance, was one candidate, and the now-appearing Qin Hao was undoubtedly another.
However, compared to Luo Feng, Qin Hao was completely outside his control, and he couldn't see through him at all.
Deep within the Star Tower, Zuo Shanke and Qin Hao sat opposite each other on a green peak. Neither spoke, both carefully calculating.
Finally, Qin Hao decided to break the silence. His purpose this time was very clear: to ascertain Luo Feng's condition, with no other major demands. As for Zuo Shanke, Qin Hao intended to keep their interaction relatively shallow.
Zuo Shanke's existence would merely serve as a guide if he were to go to the Origin Continent in the future, allowing him to learn more about the Origin Continent's situation.
“I came this time, first, to meet with senior, and second, to see Luo Feng. Luo Feng should be undergoing trials in the Star Tower right now. I wonder what stage he's reached?” Qin Hao asked directly, as there was nothing to hide about this objective.
“There should be a result within 500 years,” Zuo Shanke said, waving his hand, and Luo Feng's figure appeared before Qin Hao. At this moment, Luo Feng was filled with pain, his entire being taut. This pain did not originate from his body but from his soul. Qin Hao could clearly feel Luo Feng's soul undergoing extreme changes.
However, amidst the changes, Qin Hao also sensed a different aura, a hint of the Visualization Method. It seemed Qin Hao had already completed the Visualization Method. This soul transformation would likely benefit Luo Feng even more than he imagined.
With a resilient soul and the Visualization Method, Luo Feng's soul might undergo unexpected changes, and even comprehending the beast god heart in the future would be much easier.
Qin Hao nodded slightly to Zuo Shanke, and Luo Feng's figure vanished from their sight. Qin Hao felt much more relaxed at this moment.
“I want to make a deal with you!” Zuo Shanke said at this moment, his eyes fixed on Qin Hao, observing his reaction.
Qin Hao was not surprised by this; he had even anticipated the content of Zuo Shanke's desired transaction. It was certainly related to his future plans on the Origin Continent, and he was preparing to enlist Qin Hao as a helper.
Qin Hao had no intention of refusing. After all, he and Zuo Shanke now had a certain connection, and it would be difficult to completely sever ties upon entering the Origin Continent. Moreover, Zuo Shanke possessed many things that Qin Hao currently needed. Refining secret method, insights into laws, information about the God Power Route, all were things Qin Hao wished to acquire.
However, things could not be rushed.
“Please speak.” Qin Hao directly handed the initiative to Zuo Shanke, waiting for him to state the terms of the transaction.
“I want to exchange for your help in the future, and you can state your conditions. I can clearly tell you that the enemies you may face in the future will be extremely powerful. The prerequisite for your assistance is that you possess sufficient strength; if your strength is insufficient, the condition is void,” Zuo Shanke said directly, without much concealment.
After all, future matters involved life and death. If there were any concealments now, the chances of being backstabbed in the future would be extremely high.
Instead, it was better to propose it forthrightly. Zuo Shanke believed he had enough trump cards to make Qin Hao willing to trade with him.
“I want your refining method.” To Zuo Shanke's surprise, Qin Hao directly stated his condition without any hesitation.
“Good!” Zuo Shanke directly took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Hao. Looking at the jade slip in his hand, Qin Hao examined it. It was also refined by Zuo Shanke, reaching the level of a Supreme Treasure in quality, with some similarities to the Heavenly Soul Crystal, both used for storing inheritances.
“When senior needs me to fulfill the agreement, you can contact me directly. I imagine senior has a way to contact me directly,” Qin Hao said to Zuo Shanke, putting away the jade slip. He was thrilled to obtain Zuo Shanke's refining method—God King Jin, an existence among God Kings skilled in refining, capable of refining god king supreme treasure.
Although he couldn't yet understand many of the refining methods, and even couldn't perform them in the Primordial Universe, having a reference would further improve his own refining methods, allowing him to progress further and get closer to refining Supreme Treasure.
“Finally, I'll give you a piece of news: one of your clones should be encountering trouble soon.” After completing the transaction, Zuo Shanke relaxed. He said to Qin Hao with interest, his tone carrying a peculiar meaning.
From the moment they met, Zuo Shanke had been in a passive state, and now he could turn the tables.
Upon hearing Zuo Shanke's words, Qin Hao was filled with surprise. Very few people knew about his clones, and even those who did only knew about a few of them. Yet, Zuo Shanke was so certain now.
“That clone of yours is too high-profile, too bloodthirsty. The Monster Race is already planning to mobilize powerful experts to target him,” Zuo Shanke said, relaying the intelligence he had obtained one by one.
At this moment, Qin Hao also knew that Zuo Shanke was referring to his third clone, Destroyer, whom he had sent outside the Human Territory for training. Most of the time, he was engaged in slaughter, provoking many cosmic races.
