Negotiation Results
Xingmang, Yuan, and Luo Feng, along with their three clones, traversed layers of time and space to visit Kav Xiu directly.
"Although there are many weak forces, most of them are easy to negotiate with," Xingmang said leisurely. They occupy three of the top four positions in the Infinite Primal Chaos Space! Luo Feng is definitely number one.
With such a deterrent force, how many of the ancestors who did not achieve 'immortality' would dare to oppose it?
Yuan nodded in agreement. "What we need to be careful about are the immortal beings. Among the weaker forces, there are only five immortal beings: the Hermit, Mogus, the Demon Ruins, Kav Xiu, and the Feather Emperor. Hermit one can find the Hermit's true form, and he doesn't occupy any territory. Mogus is our mortal enemy, hiding among countless souls, and he doesn't occupy any territory either. For now, we need to face Kav Xiu, the Demon Ruins, and the Feather Emperor."
Luo Feng also smiled and said, "The Feather Emperor still has concerns. He needs to consider the Feather Realm Clan. The Feather Realm Clan is not very eager for the Source World's origin, so it should be relatively easy to reach an agreement. The real key points are Kav Xiu and the Demon Ruins."
"They both live alone, without any ties, but that's precisely why," Xingmang said, "We need to be more careful."
This kind of carefree attitude can turn on you in an instant.
"Arrive."
Xingmang, Yuan, and Luo Feng looked ahead.
Amidst a cluster of dazzling clouds, Kav Xiu's cave abode dwelling lies. He resides here, and the surrounding 39 world clusters naturally become his domain! No force can infiltrate these 39 world clusters.
The countless naturally occurring Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform that thrive within this territory also depend on Kav Xiu.
Although Kav Xiu didn't care about them, they remained incredibly loyal and diligent, daring not to disobey Kav Xiu in the slightest. After all, they needed the protection of an ancestor to survive safely in this territory.
"Hahaha..." A loud laugh echoed, and Kav Xiu stepped out of the cloud. He looked at Luo Feng and the other two with a smile, "Friend Luo Feng, what brings you here all of a sudden? Xingmang and Yuan Ye are here too?"
"Kav Xiu, I've come to ask for your help with something," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Oh?" Kav Xiu, puzzled.
"This is the situation..." Luo Feng explained in detail. Yuan He and Xingmang remained silent, since Luo Feng was the one with the best relationship with Kav Xiu!
After explaining in detail, Luo Feng said, "The beings of the Source World are all of the same kind as us Xing Zhe lords. We may not need other resources, but we still need to find a way to reclaim all the Source World. Even if we cannot reclaim them completely in this era, we will still strive for it when new lords are born in the future!"
"I envy you," Kav Xiu sighed. "You have companions, and countless ethnic groups."
Kav Xiu was born to be alone.
"As for the matter you asked me to help with, it's nothing," Kav Xiu said.
"From this moment forward, World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform under my command are forbidden from consuming Source World. Those who disobey will die!" Kav Xiu's voice instantly rang in the ears of the thousands of World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform under his command.
Upon hearing 'Kav Xiu's' command, the thousands of World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform living within this territory were all terrified and respectfully obeyed.
No one dares to defy Kav Xiu!
Kav Xiu sheltered them, protecting them from the humiliation of other forces. But once Kav Xiu gave an order, not a single Innate Primal Chaos Lifeform being dared to disobey.
Kav Xiu and Luo Feng have a good relationship and are easy to talk to! But in reality, throughout the entire Infinite Primal Chaos Space, Kav Xiu is known for his stubbornness.
"Alright, my friend Luo Feng, I've done what you needed," Kav Xiu said with a smile.
"Thank you," Luo Feng said gratefully. "I owe you a favor."
"It's nothing," Kav Xiu said with a smile. "Once your Cultivator Faction is done with this, I do have a small favor to ask of you." He knew that Luo Feng's exploration of the Abyss of Destruction far surpassed his own, and he hoped to learn more information from Luo Feng.
"Definitely." Luo Feng nodded in promise.
"I have only one request: accompany me through all 34 levels of the Abyss of Destruction so I can broaden my horizons." Demon Ruins looked at Luo Feng, completely unconcerned that all his World-Level Primal Chaos Lifeform were forbidden from devouring Source World Demon Ruins.
"Okay, I promise you." Luo Feng nodded.
Demon Ruins always felt that he was a good match for the Abyss of Destruction, but since birth, he has made no progress and has not gained the Abyss of Destruction's approval.
Luo Feng, as the lowest level controller of the Abyss of Destruction...
The Demon Ruins do indeed need Luo Feng's help.
"Okay, but your Cultivator Faction needs to agree that if my Feather Realm Clan encounters a crisis in the future, you must lend a helping hand." The Feather Emperor was relatively easy to talk to.
"We can promise you that if you encounter a crisis, all eight of us lords will lend a helping hand," Yuan said.
The Feather Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
He himself was already immortal, but the overall strength of the Feather Realm Clan was still too weak.
Having reached an agreement with the three immortal beings, the remaining ancestors became much easier to deal with. As long as they 'didn't want to die,' they wouldn't remain defiant even when Luo Feng, Xingmang, and Yuan appeared simultaneously.
Within a single day, all the weaker forces were persuaded!
Of course, the borderless 'Hermit' 'Mogus' is not included.

The eight lord-level main battle avatars of the Xing Zhe were all on their way, heading straight for the core of the Ice Peak Faction.
"The negotiations with the weaker forces have been completed." Yuan smiled. "Fortunately, we have Luo Feng, otherwise Kav Xiu and the Demon Ruins wouldn't have agreed so readily."
The other seven lords also showed delight.
The first phase of the negotiations was a great success.
Even the weaker forces, united together, occupied 20% of the territory. From then on, all the Source World within this 20% territory Cultivator Faction.
"The Innate Primal Chaos Faction and the Ice Peak Faction are the most troublesome," Xingmang said.
Luo Feng nodded as well.
One side has over a hundred ancestors, each with their own agenda.
One side has twelve immortal beings.
"Try to win them over," Yuan said. "I'll send an avatar to talk to them privately first."
The Ice Peak Faction has twelve immortal beings, and the top five in terms of strength are Shazhou, Ice Peak Progenitor, Puchen Progenitor, Wugu Progenitor, and Xiusaiwei.
When Yuan became a lord, he was the only lord in the Cultivator Faction, and he mainly stood with the Ice Peak Faction through thick and thin. For a long time, the Cultivator Faction was a staunch ally of the Ice Peak Faction.
However, as the Cultivator Faction continued to grow stronger, the two sides gradually drifted apart.
When it comes to friendship, many of the founders of the Yuanhe Ice Peak Faction had extraordinary friendships.
"Brother Yuan, we're counting on you," Xingmang said.
With a single thought, Yuan created numerous avatars, who first quietly visited the nine progenitors besides the 'Three Emperors of Wind Thunder Sea'!
The relationship between Yuan and the Three Emperors of Wind Thunder Sea, and Sea was extremely hostile. Yuan knew that visiting them would only bring him humiliation, so he didn't bother wasting his time.
"Yuan, I am able to achieve immortality thanks to your kindness," Xiusaiwei said generously. "I will definitely help you with this matter."
"Thanks. Xiusaiwei, I will remember your kindness. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me or the entire Cultivator Faction." Yuan was quite moved, because Xiusaiwei had helped him time and time again in many ways.
Xiusaiwei never made any demands, but offered to help without hesitation.
"If I run into trouble, I'll definitely speak up," Xiusaiwei said with a smile.
In Xiusaiwei's view, the two major factions within the Ice Peak Faction, 'Ice Peak Progenitor and Shazhou' and 'Puchen Progenitor', are both rather selfish. Yuan, on the other hand, values loyalty and righteousness.
Those who value loyalty and affection are rare, especially among immortals.
Xiusaiwei prefers to help Yuan!
"This is a resource list. If you agree, all the resources on this list will be delivered immediately." Yuan looked at the Puchen Progenitor in front of him.
The two largest clans within the Ice Peak Faction are the Ice Peak Clan and the Puchen Clan.
The Puchen Progenitor is immortal and indestructible; what he cares about most is the future of his clan.
"Besides these resources," the Puchen Progenitor said with a smile, "I need your Cultivator Faction to agree to Lord Luo Feng's request to help me explore a Mysterious Land."
Yuan hesitated slightly.
"Luo Feng has agreed," Yuan said.
"Then it's settled." Pu Cheng was very satisfied.
The Cultivator Faction doesn't have as much need for Life Core resources, but the Puchen Clan craves them! In the eyes of the Puchen Progenitor, this large amount of resources on the list is enough to offset the benefits from the Source World.
******
Eight lords' main battle avatars are on their way.
"There are twelve immortal beings in the Ice Peak Faction, so we don't need to pay attention to the Three Pirates of Wind Thunder Sea. I have privately visited nine of them." Yuan frowned. "We have reached agreements with four of them, but Ice Peak and Shazhou ... have put forward conditions."
"Shazhou needs a Destruction Fruit." Yuan looked at Luo Feng. "If we give them Destruction Fruit, Ice Peak and the others will agree to our demands. Otherwise, they are unwilling to give up their Origin Source World."
"It's useless."
Xingmang frowned. "Even if you give me a Destruction Fruit, Shazhou won't keep his word. In the future I'm observing, once Shazhou accepts the Destruction Fruit, Ice Peak Progenitor will deliberately fall out with Shazhou! Ice Peak Progenitor will lead a group of immortals and join forces with Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the others... Shazhou will also take the opportunity to demand a second Destruction Fruit."
Yuan nodded.
He also knew that Shazhou was aloof and kept to herself. Apart from the Ice Peak Progenitor, she didn't care about anyone and might even directly attack the Cultivator Faction.
"Brother Yuan, the result of your private negotiations is already very good." Xingmang said with a smile, "Not counting the Three Pirates of Wind Thunder Sea, there are nine immortals, and you have reached an agreement with four of them. This will cause the 'Ice Peak Faction' to be divided on this matter, and their ability to deal with us will be limited."
"The Innate Primal Chaos Faction should only have a portion of its forces opposing it."
"Only a portion of the Ice Peak Faction opposes it."
Xingmang's eyes were icy cold. "In the end, it still comes down to killing! Especially those who haven't achieved 'immortality.' If they dare to get involved in this, kill them if you can!"
"Only through slaughter can the resistance be weakened enough," Xingmang said. "Once the strength is insufficient, even the Infinite Serpent Ancestor and the Ice Peak Progenitor will have no choice but to endure it."
Luo Feng and the others nodded.
Suddenly--
"Eight lords, you need not come." A thought descended upon this space-time. "We already know your purpose, but we need to discuss this matter internally. We will give you an answer in one epoch."
The eight lords were taken aback.
"Okay." Yuan nodded. "Then we'll wait for your reply."
"Like the Innate Primal Chaos Faction, it also takes a decade?" Naigu frowned slightly.
"Let's wait."
Xingmang said, "During this period, we also need to be wary of them joining forces!"
