[Through his second round of testing, Ye Yu discovered that the rewards obtained from touching different members of the God Clan actually followed a pattern.]
[The reward would either be cultivation higher than his own, or certain possessions belonging to the target, such as robes, divine stones, divine abilities, and so on.]
[The greater the cultivation gap between the two parties, the more generous the reward.]
[Of course, this only applied when the other party was stronger and he was weaker.]
[If his cultivation exceeded that of the person he touched, then the rewards were usually nothing particularly useful.]
[From this, one conclusion became obvious.]
[The system was clearly encouraging him to socialize upward.]
[Ye Yu understood this perfectly.]
[Unfortunately, the hierarchy within Tianshan Dao was extremely strict.]
[The people he could normally come into contact with were mostly ordinary members of the God Clan.]
[Even seeing the elders of the Divine Alliance was rare, let alone touching them.]
[As a result, Ye Yu still hadn't figured out exactly how many cultivation realms stronger a target had to be before the system considered the gap enormous enough to trigger a critical reward.]
[That irritated him greatly.]
[He had even begun considering whether he should leave this place in a few days and develop elsewhere.]
[However, before he could act, an opportunity quietly arrived on its own.]
[That very afternoon, a deep voice echoed throughout the Tianshan Dao Divine Alliance.]
["All members of Tianshan Dao, assemble at the main peak!"]
[The voice reverberated through heaven and earth three times.]
[None of the God Clan members dared delay and immediately flew toward the main peak.]
[Ye Yu was among them.]
[To be honest, gatherings like this were his favorite.]
[If the entire Divine Alliance was gathering, then naturally everyone would be standing together.]
[Bumping into someone, getting bumped into by someone else—that was completely normal.]
[However, after arriving at the main peak and looking around, Ye Yu discovered something unfortunate.]
[Every face around him was familiar.]
[Which meant they had all already been touched by Divine Touch.]
[This Dream Talent could not be used on the same person twice.]
[As a result, Ye Yu suddenly felt like a swordsman standing alone, ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) looking in every direction and finding only emptiness.]
[Looks like I really do need to find a new place to develop.]
[Just as Ye Yu was thinking this over, someone slapped a hand onto his shoulder.]
[The powerful force immediately triggered his instincts.]
[Turn. Grab. Sweep. Throw.]
[With a series of clean, fluid movements, the person who had patted Ye Yu's shoulder was instantly thrown to the ground, one arm twisted behind his back.]
["Wait, wait, wait! It hurts! It hurts!"]
[Demon God Wan Zhengyuan hurriedly begged for mercy.]
[Only then did Ye Yu subconsciously release him.]
["Fellow Daoist, why did you suddenly ambush me?"]
[Rubbing his still-aching shoulder, Wan Zhengyuan asked in confusion, "Wasn't it you who said earlier that appropriate physical contact helps improve friendships between fellow Daoists? Why is it that when I pat your shoulder, you immediately beat me up?"]
[Ye Yu was momentarily speechless.]
[That line sounded awfully familiar.]
[Hadn't he said it himself just this morning?]
[The boomerang he had thrown had finally come flying back.]
[But who was Ye Yu?]
[In his view, only he was allowed to teach others. Nobody else was qualified to teach him.]
["You fool, of course I was supposed to hit you!"]
["When I pat your shoulder, I'm standing beside you, greeting you and engaging in friendly interaction."]
["When you pat mine, you're standing behind me. It feels like a sneak attack. My body reacted automatically. That's perfectly normal."]
["So in the end, this is still your fault."]
[Ye Yu's explanation instantly left Wan Zhengyuan speechless.]
[Although he felt something about it wasn't quite right, the argument somehow sounded reasonable.]
[At the very least, he couldn't think of a rebuttal on the spot.]
[In the end, he could only mutter a dejected, "Oh."]
[Ye Yu then asked, "By the way, do you know why they've gathered all of us here today?"]
[Wan Zhengyuan glanced around. Seeing that nobody was paying attention to him, he lowered his voice.]
["Rumor has it that our Third Elder of Tianshan Dao, Wan Xiaoge, abducted the Dao companion of the Divine Alliance leader of Shangqing Temple."]
["The leader of Shangqing Temple couldn't swallow that humiliation, so he immediately brought over a thousand members of the God Clan and came looking for an explanation."]
["So the upper management of Tianshan Dao decided to gather all of us together and intimidate Shangqing Temple into backing down."]
["At most, this kind of thing usually turns into an argument and a discussion about how to settle it. Under normal circumstances, it won't actually escalate into a fight."]
[Hearing this, the look in Ye Yu's eyes changed dramatically.]
["No, brother. Your information network is impressive. Where did you hear a rumor this detailed?"]
[Wan Zhengyuan replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.]
["From my brother, of course."]
[Ye Yu continued, "And who might your esteemed brother be?"]
[Wan Zhengyuan raised a hand and said solemnly, "My elder brother is Wan Xiaoge."]
[Ye Yu nodded.]
["Oh."]
[Then the realization hit him instantly.]
[No wonder this guy knew everything.]
[His brother was the very culprit who had triggered the confrontation between two major Divine Alliances.]
[To be fair, your brother really is something.]
[Ye Yu's sarcastic remark sounded more like praise in Wan Zhengyuan's ears.]
[So he proudly replied without the slightest hesitation.]
["Naturally. And this isn't even the first time."]
["Over the past ten thousand years, my brother has already stolen the Dao companions of five Divine Alliance leaders. The record speaks for itself."]
[Ye Yu couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up.]
["Your brother truly is a remarkable man. Introduce me to him when you get the chance. Anyone who can steal that many Dao companions and still avoid getting hacked to death is definitely a talent."]
[The words had barely left his mouth when seven streaks of light descended from the sky.]
[Leading them was an elderly man with an immortal bearing.]
[His hair and beard were completely white, yet he appeared vigorous and full of life.]
[Behind him stood four men and two women.]
[Wan Zhengyuan quietly pointed toward the man standing at the far left.]
["Look. That's my brother, Wan Xiaoge."]
[Ye Yu followed the direction of his finger.]
[Honestly speaking, Wan Xiaoge looked completely ordinary.]
[In fact, he seemed almost excessively honest and dull.]
[The kind of person who would disappear into a crowd and never be found again.]
[How could someone like that possibly become a serial collector of powerful leaders' Dao companions?]
[Could this be his disguise?]
[Perhaps that honest and harmless appearance was precisely what made him so deceptive.]
[The God Realm truly was vast. There was no shortage of strange people.]
[The white-haired elder, Xiao Pingchao, the Divine Alliance leader of Tianshan Dao, stepped forward and spoke loudly.]
["One of the elders of Tianshan Dao has had a minor misunderstanding with the Divine Alliance leader of Shangqing Temple."]
["Originally, it was a very small matter that could have been resolved simply by talking."]
["Yet the Divine Alliance leader of Shangqing Temple has brought over a thousand members of the God Clan and is about to arrive at the gates of our Divine Alliance."]
["He intends to use force and numbers to pressure us."]
["Fellow Daoists, what do you think we should do?"]
[From within the crowd below, a booming voice suddenly rang out.]
["They only brought a thousand members of the God Clan and dare come here acting arrogantly? Do they think Tianshan Dao was raised to be intimidated?"]
["Come on! Let's go take a look and see exactly what Shangqing Temple wants!"]
[The moment those words were spoken, countless voices echoed in agreement.]
[The many God Clan members who knew nothing of the truth immediately rolled up their sleeves, their fighting spirit surging.]
[Seeing this scene, Ye Yu's mouth twitched slightly.]
[The Divine Alliance leader is protecting your brother this much?]
[What, does your brother have some life-threatening blackmail material on him or something?]
