Chapter 2454 - 2473: No Way Out—Compromise
Yusuf Zuck was standing on the second step, and the Azure Wing Slash in his hand could reach the person on the first step with a single thrust.
At the beginning, many people did not believe in superstitions and didn’t think they couldn’t hit Yusuf Zuck, so many launched attacks on him, but...
But all their attacks were mysteriously blocked by a forbidden barrier. Whether it was their divine skills or arts and methods, they were all useless on the steps.
Demi Garrett seemed to be gradually adapting to the gravity. Although the higher he climbed, the greater the gravity, as a child of fate, his calculations were endless. He could change the destiny of others and himself. Moreover, within the Three Thousand Avenue, there was a gravity principle, so as he mastered destiny, he naturally could also wield the gravity principle.
"Haha, Yusuf Zuck, you’re holding this pass all by yourself, impossible for thousands to break through. Come, let this young master go up." Dominic Ruiz arrived, swaggering over with Yosef Dale and the drag queen.
"Yuer, why have you come too?" In the crowd, Dominic Ruiz’s father suddenly shouted, "This Yusuf Zuck is the enemy; do not mistake him for a friend."
"Uh... forget it." Dominic Ruiz waved his hand impatiently and said, "You are you, and I am me. If you want to kill him, I can’t stop it, but you can’t prevent me from befriending him, can you?"
"Yusuf Zuck, step aside, step aside, let me go up." Dominic Ruiz said and then boldly stepped onto the first step.
Yusuf Zuck hesitated for a moment, then flicked the tip of his knife, but he did nothing to Dominic Ruiz because... Dominic brought Yosef Dale and the drag queen along.
"Bro, you look so cool standing here." The drag queen came over too.
"Enough talk, hurry up, be careful of the gravity." Yusuf Zuck urged.
"Go." Yosef Dale and the drag queen held hands, their combined aura and strength allowing them to step onto the first step together.
The three were in a sorry state when they reached the first step. However, they were no ordinary people. After quickly adapting, they immediately moved past Yusuf Zuck, climbing to the second step, and then the third.
The people below the steps were staring in frustration. Many regretted not capturing this sister of Yusuf Zuck.
Of course, they didn’t previously know this woman was Yusuf Zuck’s sister. Had they known, how could they have let her go up?
Thus, Dominic Ruiz, the drag queen, and Yosef Dale safely ascended the steps.
"By the way, take this. One drop per person allows entry into the ninth level. Also, there are two creators inside; be cautious once you enter." Yusuf Zuck casually tossed out a bottle containing the Dew of Fate.
However, just as Yosef Dale caught the bottle, a voice suddenly rang out: "Yusuf Zuck, have her give me the bottle in her hand, and you come down right away."
In the crowd, Landyn Torres was smiling faintly, he had just arrived as well.
Upon seeing Landyn Torres, Yusuf Zuck’s pupils contracted fiercely.
"What? You don’t want to come down?" Landyn Torres spoke while taking out a crystal ball, and within the crystal ball appeared images of Yusuf Zuck’s sister Sara Zuck and other empire officials, all inside the crystal ball.
Yusuf Zuck’s expression turned grim.
"I’ll give you three breaths of time. If you don’t come down or give me the bottle, you know what will happen." Landyn Torres’ expression turned cold. The images inside the crystal ball depicted the situation within his domain in the heavens. As soon as he had a thought, those inside could be killed at his whim.
"Yosef, give him the bottle." The drag queen coldly snorted at this moment.
"No need." Yusuf Zuck suddenly reached out to stop them: "You guys go up first, hurry, I have the Heavenly Essence." Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, then took out another bottle and said: "There are ten drops of Heavenly Essence in here. I can give it to you, but you must promise not to harm them, and I can also come down."
"Come down and talk."
Yusuf Zuck was standing on the second step, and the Azure Wing Slash in his hand could reach the person on the first step with a single thrust.
At the beginning, many people did not believe in superstitions and didn’t think they couldn’t hit Yusuf Zuck, so many launched attacks on him, but...

The three were in a sorry state when they reached the first step. However, they were no ordinary people. After quickly adapting, they immediately moved past Yusuf Zuck, climbing to the second step, and then the third.
The people at the bottom of the stairway could only stare helplessly; many of them regretted not capturing Yusuf Zuck’s sister.
Of course, they didn’t know this woman was Yusuf Zuck’s sister beforehand, otherwise, how could they have let her go?
Thus, Dominic Ruiz, the transvestite, and Yosef Dale safely ascended the steps.
"Here, take this, one drop per person, which allows entry to the nine layers. Also, there are two creation masters inside the nine layers, be cautious when you enter." Yusuf Zuck casually tossed out a bottle containing the Dew of Fate.
However, just as Yosef Dale received the bottle, a sudden voice rang out: "Yusuf Zuck, have her hand over the bottle in her hand to me, and you come down immediately."
In the crowd, Landyn Torres smiled faintly, having just arrived.
And when Yusuf Zuck saw Landyn Torres, his pupils suddenly constricted.
"What? You don’t want to come down?" Landyn Torres spoke as he pulled out a Crystal Ball, and the images of a group of people appeared within it—Sara Zuck and key figures of the Empire, all inside the Crystal Ball.
Yusuf Zuck’s face turned grim.
"I’ll give you three seconds; if you don’t come down and hand over that bottle to me, you can consider the consequences," Landyn Torres’s expression turned icy. The images within the Crystal Ball depicted the situation inside his realm; with just a thought, anyone he wished dead would perish.
"Yosef, give him the bottle," the transvestite sneered coldly.
"No need," Yusuf Zuck suddenly reached out to stop them: "You all go up first, quickly, I still have the Heavenly Essence." Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath and then pulled out another bottle, saying, "There are ten drops of Heavenly Essence here; I can give it to you, but you must guarantee their safety, and I can come down."
"Come down first, then we’ll talk."
"No, I must wait for them to go up before I come down." Yusuf Zuck turned back fiercely, glaring at Yosef Dale and the others: "Why aren’t you moving yet?"
"But you..." The transvestite’s eyes reddened with anxiety.
"Don’t worry about me, go up." Yusuf Zuck commanded.
"Let’s go." The transvestite, being a straightforward person, gritted his teeth and continued up the steps.
Yosef Dale gave Landyn Torres a deep look and said, "Just you wait, you little bastard." With that, he continued up the steps.
Dominic Ruiz, still smiling, started ascending without any comment.
In the crowd, Ayden Acme was also present; however, Ayden stood against the Nine Surnames Alliance, blocking them. He wasn’t interested in creations, only in avenging his family, while the Nine Surnames Alliance refused to hand over the Martial Saint. Although they were anxious, they couldn’t do anything against Ayden Acme now.
Yusuf Zuck silently waited on the second step.
Moments later, Demi Garrett was the first to reach the top of the steps, turned back for a deep glance, and then entered the gate of the nine layers.
About half an hour later, the three of them, including the transvestite, arrived and entered together.
At this time, many eyes were bloodshot. What treasure did Yusuf Zuck give them? It allowed them into the nine layers of the Altar? Wasn’t it necessary to gather the blood of the Five Sons of Heaven’s Path?
But now, without the Five Sons of Heaven’s Path, they could enter. What kind of situation was this?
Many people were anxious and wanted the Heavenly Essence, but... but they didn’t hold any leverage against Yusuf Zuck, so they had no means to act.
"Alright, can you come down now?" Landyn Torres smiled as he moved forward, reaching the top of the steps. At this moment, even if Yusuf Zuck swung the Blue Wing Big Knife, it could kill him instantly, but he showed not a trace of fear.
Because Yusuf Zuck’s relatives’ lives and deaths were all in his control.
"Okay." Holding a knife in one hand and a bottle in the other, Yusuf Zuck descended the steps in two strides.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish~" As soon as he came down, dozens of people surrounded him. At this point, they no longer cared for the nine layers, as without the Son of Destiny and only four, they couldn’t enter at all.
"Hand over the bottle," Landyn Torres smiled as he extended his hand.
"That won’t do. Release the people first. Let’s make an exchange: one hand for the people, one hand for the bottle," Yusuf Zuck raised the bottle high and said, "I only have this one bottle left. If you don’t release them, I’ll smash it!"
"Don’t think you can threaten me with this," Landyn Torres shook his head, "Which do you think is more important: your bottle or your family? How about I fetch a severed head?" Landyn Torres had the upper hand, knowing Yusuf Zuck’s greatest weakness.
Yusuf Zuck’s expression was cold as he glared at Landyn Torres.
"Hand it over; there’s no point in resisting. As for whether I release your family, it depends on my mood," Landyn Torres said.
"Alright, here you go." Yusuf Zuck gritted his teeth. He knew he had no choice. If Landyn Torres tossed out a severed head, he would deeply regret it.
The bottle was handed over to Landyn Torres, who laughed heartily, stepped back quickly, and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, he still has this Heavenly Essence, and it’s secreted from his body, as much as you want!"
"Kill~!" Like madmen, those people’s eyes went red, fearlessly charging at Yusuf Zuck.
