I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1029 - 541: More Money? No Way, That’s Not Enough

"They're fighting?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

When Gu Shanhai arrived at the ghost sanctuary, he had already sensed the movement of the gray mist. However, he was not affected. Shura had already taken action and immediately attracted the gray mist's attention.

The Corpse King didn't approach; instead, he sensibly kept his distance from the battle between the gray mist and Shura, without the expected support. Gu Shanhai actually knew, the possibility of the Corpse King supporting the gray mist was very low. He treasured his life, otherwise, he could have sent someone with high power levels.

"Forget him, I should focus on myself." Gu Shanhai was not particularly interested in the gray mist and the Corpse King. To him, the real deal was this ghost sanctuary.

Because of the awakening of the gray mist and the disappearance of the zombies, the ghost sanctuary also noticed something was amiss. It wasn't some inanimate object, but a ghost. As for the core of this city, the ghost sanctuary was deservedly so.

At first glance, the gray mist and Corpse King seemed strong, but compared to the ghost sanctuary, they were just like outside bodyguards.

"They're actually trying to escape. Wait, why didn't they run before?" Gu Shanhai discovered the entire sanctuary was shaking and seemingly detaching from the city.

Clearly, it detected danger and was preparing to leave this troublesome place.

But Gu Shanhai reached out and forcibly held the ghost sanctuary down.

"So, the ten-day period for each checkpoint wasn't about fearing ghosts completing the reparation plan, but about the final deadline for the sanctuary's detachment." Gu Shanhai suddenly understood. The foundation pillar collapsing didn't matter, the All Ghosts Survival Platform could fly, and there was no need to worry about the ghost reparation plan because, at this stage, no ghost could complete it.

The reason for the time limit was that once they start moving, the ghost sanctuary would detect the problem and then would sensibly leave the city and return to the Ghost World.

So, the true target of the human world was never the All Ghosts Survival Platform, but this ghost sanctuary.

If the ghost sanctuary is destroyed, it is tantamount to cutting off the All Ghosts Survival Platform's invasion of the human world, and by seizing this opportunity, a new situation could arise.

From the beginning, the true aim of the human world wasn't for the three of them to face the entire Ghost World. In truth, the actual task only extended to the fourth checkpoint, and the fifth was likely an extra mission.

Doing so was extremely beneficial to the human world. Although strong, the human world had no means for external invasion.

Once the human world gained this city, it could reverse-engineer the external technologies of the All Ghosts Survival Platform through the ghost sanctuary.

Once they form their own technology, the Ghost World will face human invaders, such as Reincarnators or Hunters.

Ghosts come to the human world to survive.

In contrast, when humans go to the Ghost World, as long as they conquer their fears, it will be a spree of chaotic battles.

Moreover, apart from the Ghost World, they would continue to expand outward.

"I wouldn't believe there's no one orchestrating this from above." Gu Shanhai instantly understood the whole scenario.

One or more entities supported this human through the Ten Thousand Races Arena, endowing them with the ability for external expansion.

Of course, although Gu Shanhai talked leisurely, in reality, achieving such technology would require at least tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years of analysis and evolutionary process. By then, whether humans still exist is another question.

This is inherently an evolutionary process, which is not that easy.

However, for a world, tens of thousands of years are just a moment. A genuine world isn't like Gu Shanhai, who was a novice; his perception of time was still at the human stage.

"Now, I can't let you run away."

Since Gu Shanhai understood the reason, regardless of the circumstances, he had to retain the ghost sanctuary.

"Have you eaten?"

"If not, then have a taste of my fist first."

As he spoke, Gu Shanhai swung his fist towards the ghost sanctuary.

At his level of power, combat was straightforward. Opponents he couldn't beat with one punch were few and far between; if they weren't dead yet, he'd punch again.

He could also add special effects, regardless of reincarnation or Yin Yang laws. Gu Shanhai could enchant his fist, though power amplification was secondary as none equaled the raw power of his punch. It was more about the special effects.

Such laws were roughly akin to human blood. Getting drenched in blood during a fight looks intimidating but doesn't affect your punching strength.

With that single punch, the whole ghost sanctuary instantly disintegrated.

"Not bad, quite tough; left with half a life after a punch." Gu Shanhai was quite measured with his strikes, not killing it with one blow.

However, with the disintegration of the ghost sanctuary, the ghosts residing there were exposed.

Seeing Gu Shanhai, this group of ghosts panicked instantly.

"Humans, it's humans!!!"

"The humans have breached the sanctuary, run!"

"Don't, don't kill me!!"

For a moment, a cacophony of voices erupted, and the sanctuary descended into chaos.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye. This scene was indeed a stark contrast.

This world indeed made him feel a bit out of place, as his memory held many worlds where humans were the weak, and ghosts and specters were powerful forces. Suddenly, these ghosts turned into weaklings running everywhere, just thinking about it made him feel oddly amused.
