The Demon Race and the demonic sect cultivators were somewhat bewildered.

I don't know where I went wrong.

So he couldn't help but look at Lu Changsheng, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"Everyone, think about this carefully. The world is undergoing great changes, Spiritual Qi is reviving, and our human race's strong have already ascended. It would be a lie to say we're not worried, but don't overthink it. With me, Lu, here, I believe the world will not change."

"If we go to war now, everyone will suffer losses. But if we don't go to war, you're demanding all sorts of benefits. To be honest, the human race is watching what you're doing. Even if I give you more territory."

"Our human race is inherently a race of destiny, the protagonist of heaven and earth. As long as I, Lu, am here, it will not take three hundred years, but only thirty years. Human cultivators will work hard to govern. When that time comes, there will surely be a life-or-death battle between the human race, the Demon Race, and the demonic sect."

"Moreover, I, Lu, would absolutely never agree to your unreasonable demands."

"But"

Lu Changsheng launched into a long speech, pausing briefly at this point.

The four elders couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

Upon closer reflection, it actually makes sense.

Putting aside whether the human race would cede territory, even if they did, they would certainly be dissatisfied. Once dissatisfied, it would ignite their inner struggle. If the human race worked hard to govern, thirty years would be an exaggeration, but what about a hundred years later?

Humanity is indeed the protagonist of the world. Once it rises to power, who will suffer?

History will repeat itself. When they fight each other again, it may not be a simple battle, but a war of annihilation. This is not the outcome they want to see.

After they thought for a while, Lu Changsheng immediately spoke up.

"However, if at this time, the Demon Race cultivators and the demonic sect cultivators are willing to make painful sacrifices and act selflessly, then the human race will surely remember their kindness. This act is enough to reduce the hatred of the past, although I cannot guarantee that there will be no hatred at all."

"But if we form an alliance that forbids humans from killing Demon Race and Demon Race from harming humans, and if anyone violates this alliance, they will be subject to the most severe punishment. Five hundred years later, five thousand years later, all hatred will vanish like smoke."

"At that time, the Demon Race and the human race lived in harmony, and the demonic sect and the Demon Race cultivators could cultivate in human race cities, and human race cultivators could also cultivate in Demon Race territory."

"If everyone gets what they need, the world will be at peace, and all races will live in harmony, then what is a mere piece of land worth?"

Lu Changsheng spoke these words, and they were all very logical and reasonable.

The four elders were stunned.

Upon closer reflection...

Hey! You know what, that actually makes sense.

The four elders remained silent.

Lu Changsheng didn't interrupt them, but simply told them to think quietly.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Wu Qing spoke first, saying, "Holy Lord Lu, your suggestion is very good, but ten million spirit soil is indeed not enough for us to share. How about adding a little more?"

He said this.

"That's what I think too!" Chen Feihe nodded and said.

Hearing them say this, Lu Changsheng was secretly delighted.

He wasn't afraid of haggling; he was just afraid they wouldn't like the suggestion.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Lu Changsheng should make concessions when bargaining.

In fact, Lu Changsheng really didn't want to give up any territory, but not giving up any territory at all showed a complete lack of sincerity.

To be honest, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone two large clans.

Right now, the human race definitely needs time to develop.

It's already a great thing that peace can be negotiated.

So Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "If we give more, I'm afraid the human race, from top to bottom, will not appreciate it at all."

"Let me tell you a story."

"When I was traveling in the mortal world, I passed by a restaurant and heard a story. There was a merchant who liked to entertain his friends. This was a good intention, but the merchant would nag incessantly. After each banquet, he would criticize his friends, saying that he was always the one paying and all they did was eat."

"Later, when this businessman fell on hard times, none of his friends were willing to help him. Do you know why?"

"It's because inviting someone to a meal is a good intention, but if you then criticize your friend afterward, it's better not to invite them at all. No one will be moved to tears by a meal, but most people will hate someone for life because of a single word."

"Gentlemen, you have clearly made concessions for the noble ideal of world peace, but you did so unwillingly. In this way, others will not only not appreciate your generosity, but will also remember it in their hearts."

"Therefore, ten million spirit lands is already the limit! Any more is not impossible, but it would leave a bad impression on the human race."

Lu Changsheng said this.

This isn't just empty talk; it's a genuine exploration of the issue.

For true peace to be achieved and for the world to be at peace, one side must make concessions.

Whether the Demon Race and the demonic sect will retreat or not, Lu Changsheng doesn't know, but the human race certainly won't back down; that's for sure.

Even if they back down, it's only a temporary concession; they'll still end up fighting eventually.

As expected, the four elders fell silent upon hearing this.

After a full incense stick's time.

Wu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Well then, Holy Lord Lu, such a major matter is not something we can decide right now. Could you give us three days to go back and discuss it properly?"

He said this.

Me too.

Chen Feihe nodded and said the same thing.

"That's no problem."

Lu Changsheng smiled.

However, he slowly spoke at the end, "Of course, if you all agree, I have another great gift to offer! When the time is right, I, Lu, will send the powerful members of the Demon Race and the demonic sect to ascension. I wonder if you are interested?"

For world peace.

Lu Changsheng was going all out.

If you can afford it, give it to me; if you can't, still give it to me!

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the four elders changed drastically.

Is this really true?

Wu Qing said, utterly shocked.

"Really!"

Lu Changsheng answered with unwavering determination.

"Alright! I'll bring you my reply tomorrow!"

Wu Qing was very excited.

Me too.

Chen Feihe was also very excited.

After the four elders left, the Great Luo Palace returned to silence.

Liu Qing and the others remained silent.

I want to ask something, but I don't know if I should.

Only.

Right now.

In the demon realm.

Around a High Antiquity altar.

Seven hundred and twenty peerless demon lords have gathered!

A ritual to summon the Devil Master is underway!

"Is your information accurate? Is the Devil Master really in the Lower Realm?"

A voice rang out, like the voice of the Heavenly Dao, extremely terrifying.

"Yes, the Devil Master is indeed in the Lower Realm. Moreover, according to the calculations of the Old Heavenly Devil, this Devil Master recently received unparalleled good fortune and is about to ascend. The Old Heavenly Devil wants us to gather here to welcome the Devil Master's ascension, lest he be taken there by powerful figures from the Buddhist or Immortal realms. If such a thing were to happen, our Demon Realm might not be able to surpass the Immortal Realm for hundreds of epochs."

Another voice rang out, as if it were the will of heaven and earth.
