1088. The Force God Clan Submits
The Force God Clan understood this very clearly.
Moreover, under the current circumstances, there was no possibility of reversing the gap in strength.
As the absolute weaker party,
assuming the right posture was extremely important.
If there had been even the slightest chance of turning things around,
they would not have minded taking a gamble.
Unfortunately, there was not even the slightest possibility.
Thus, after repeated internal disputes,
the Force God Clan ultimately gave their answer.
Whatever they had taken back then, they would return in full now.
Strictly speaking, compensation in resources was not even the most painful part. No matter how many resources the Force God Clan had seized from the Luo God Clan back then, at most it amounted to the clan having spent its future resources in advance. Thousand-year ginseng, ten-thousand-year ganoderma, all sorts of cultivation techniques and spirit arts, even weapons—all of it was included. It hurt, of course; after all, no one wanted to hand over what they possessed. That was human nature. But if such compensation could avert the crisis of extermination, their relief would still outweigh their pain.
Yet what the Force God Clan had taken from the Luo God Clan was not merely resources.
They had also taken vast tracts of land that could steadily produce resources.
To put it more simply and bluntly,
the Force God Clan had stolen the Luo God Clan's territory.
If it had merely been land, it naturally would not have been as valuable as resources. But once the population resources upon that land were included, the cost was enough to severely wound the Force God Clan. Even though they had seized it from the Luo God Clan, it had obviously hurt the Luo God Clan even more back then.
