Chen Ning's Plan, Another Path
As the ruler of the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty, Zhao Jin commanded the entire Azure Heaven Realm. Even at this moment, he was still able to quickly sort out his thoughts and come up with a solution.
The other party was too powerful to resist, so they had no choice but to negotiate.
As for the bargaining chips, they were the secrets about the strange rules of the Azure Heaven Realm that the other party desperately wanted to know.
"Your strategy is good. If it were me, I would probably do the same. It can ensure peace in the Azure Heaven Realm while also securing benefits."
Chen Ning first offered a compliment, then changed the subject, saying, "However, I think you're not yet clear about the current situation."
"Oh?"
Zhao Jin asked, puzzled, "Then tell me."
Chen Ning said, "If it were just me alone, you would certainly have the right to negotiate. However, at this moment, I am not the only person from the Vast Land in the Azure Heaven Realm. There is another person who has also descended upon the Azure Heaven Realm, and his purpose is the same as mine. The situation on the Vast Land is somewhat complicated. In short, we are in a competitive relationship, competing for control of this world."
"That's perfect."
Song Huai laughed and said, "In this way, our Azure Heaven Realm will have another option, so we won't be fooled by you one-sidedly."
That's true.
Chen Ning sighed and said, "It's a pity... he has already chosen to cooperate with someone else. By the way, Old Master Song is no stranger to that person..."
That brings us to this.
Song Huai's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of someone.
Frankly speaking, there aren't many in the entire Azure Heaven Realm who have the qualifications and ability to cooperate with another world.
It could even be said to be unique.
Aside from the current emperor, only the Carefree King possesses both the ability and the ambition.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jin instantly felt a sense of crisis and asked, "Sir, what guarantee can you offer me?"
It's obvious.
Zhao Jin panicked.
For Chen Ning, failing to seize this world was merely a defeat.
But for Zhao Jin, that meant certain death.
Once the Carefree King gains power, he will surely exterminate Zhao Jin's entire lineage.
He knew his younger brother's character all too well.
That's someone who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
For so many years, they have been lying low, but never giving up; on the contrary, they have always been looking for opportunities.
So.
Zhao Jin quickly realized that his only way to save his life was to cooperate. If he continued to use that secret as a bargaining chip and acted recklessly, he risked destruction.
That's why he asked what kind of guarantee the other party could give him.
Chen Ning smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, after the Azure Heaven Realm was taken over, everything remained as usual. You are still the emperor of the Azure Heaven Realm. What my backing forces want is the secret of that strange rule and absolute control over the Azure Heaven Realm."
"I see."
Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, then it was alright.
At this moment, Chen Ning's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "However, I'd like to say a few more words to you."
"Speaking."
Zhao Jin was extremely polite at this moment, after all, he could no longer display his imperial power in front of Chen Ning.
He was afraid of upsetting the young man in front of him.
Chen Ning then said solemnly, "Whether it's me or the one who cooperated with the Carefree King, what we truly desire after seizing control of the Azure Heaven Realm is the Power of the World Origin. This is the greatest value of a small world."
"If you submit, peace will ultimately be maintained in the Azure Heaven Realm. Moreover, with the help of the forces behind me, your position and power will be even more secure. Not only you, but your descendants can succeed you as kings of the Azure Heaven Realm! Forever immortal..."
"In that case, my Zhao family will be eternally grateful to you and the forces behind you!"
Zhao Jin solemnly cupped his hands in thanks.
"You're not grateful; you're just powerless to change anything."
Chen Ning's voice suddenly turned cold. "The Azure Heaven Realm is weak and can only grovel. Even you, the emperor, have been reduced to a tool, a puppet. How can you be grateful?"
Upon hearing this...
Zhao Jin was taken aback and fell silent for a moment.
"I have another path for you to choose from."
As Chen Ning finished speaking...
Zhao Jin keenly sensed the hidden meaning in Chen Ning's words, and thus said, "Please enlighten me, sir."
"The other way is to cooperate with me."
"I've already agreed."
Zhao Jin was a shrewd man; he asked the question knowing the answer already.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "What I want is cooperation with you, Non-Self. After the ownership of the Azure Heaven Realm is settled, the Azure Heaven Realm will remain peaceful. But I want you to work for me. In exchange, I will remove all restrictions on the Azure Heaven Realm. In the future, everyone in the Azure Heaven Realm will enjoy the resources that only the Vast Land possesses! Everyone will have the opportunity to reach the realm above the Celestial Person."
This sentence.
It was incredibly moving.
Song Huai couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. Cultivators pursue the pinnacle of martial arts.
If they were unaware of the existence of a larger world, they could still be proud of being Celestial Person.
But now that we know there is a much larger world...
How can one resist the urge to pursue a higher level?
If you are a tool for others, you will always just be a tool.
The other path Chen Ning mentioned was the one they truly found hard to refuse.
"Your Excellency, what you say is certainly wonderful, but you are merely Ninth Rank. Even if you can defeat Grandmaster, you are still below the level of Celestial Person Being. Your world has so many powerful figures, and even True God who can create rules. How can I believe you have such abilities? How can I believe you won't lie to me?"
