The World-Realm Emperor Monarch's Proposal
Hemon did not immediately hand over the transaction record he initially received to all his allies.
He first looked at the list of several types of Rule Treasures, and then had someone check the recent movements of the Devouring Source Garrison.
The beast horde, which had initially been worried about advancing again, remained stationary in the designated area. The Crystal Mine newly taken over by the Bedrock Crystal Civilization were also sending a portion of their output to the Source-Devouring Time-Space as agreed.
At least in these areas where the ceasefire has just been implemented, the other side has not continued to invade more worlds.
Hemon then presented the proposal of the World-Realm Emperor Monarch to the other civilizations.
The response was faster than he had expected.
One of the civilizations that had just joined the joint escort mission even brought a batch of resources. The materials they wanted in exchange could not be easily obtained from the existing production sites in the Primordial Universe Time-Space.
In the past, they had to go through several transfers to obtain a small amount from a certain Different Dimensional Civilization.
Now, those items have actually appeared on the transaction list right in front of us.
"Let's take a look at the actual item first," said the local Level-12 Strong Practitioner.
Hemon did not immediately agree to allow the World-Realm Emperor Monarch to enter his Core Starfield, but he also did not demand that the other party withdraw all its troops before this contact could take place.
The final location chosen was still a peripheral area where Mechanical Civilization could handle the transportation.
The personnel dispatched by both sides quickly began preparing for the first batch of deliveries.
When the World-Realm Emperor Monarch passed through those Cross-dimensional passages again, he was able to see even more fleets than before.
Some of them came from the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction, while others were simply transportation forces that the Yuanyu Homeland Civilization had cultivated for a long time.
Other visitors, whom we haven't yet had direct contact with, bring a completely different, Origin Aura to this place.
The Transit Record he held, which was publicly accessible, has been moved to a new location.
Even if you walked through every single place in it, it would still be far from the entire Primordial Universe Time-Space.
Here, even the strongest Level-12 Existence of the Homeland Civilization cannot decide everything.
Beyond those pathways that truly connect to other Dimensional Universe, there are countless powerful beings. Some names that only appear in transaction records also correspond to genuine dimensional Lord of Dimension.
Source-Devouring Time-Space had previously encountered was only a part of it!
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch ordered his entourage to remain within the permitted areas. He himself did not arbitrarily extend his will to other directions along those coordinates that had not yet been granted permission.
That's not the kind of space a regular Transport Ship can easily leave by simply changing direction after getting lost.
If a response were received from a Lord of Dimension, the current exchanges, which have just begun, could change dramatically.
In fact, the relatively restrained Devouring Source Garrison on the Primordial Universe Time-Space Saine's side was not solely due to the fact that the World-Realm Emperor Monarch was unwilling to swallow everything.
The actual forces from all sides are also there.
The mere actions of the beings from the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction had already left the Source-Devouring Progenitor utterly humiliated. Later, the legions that actually entered the Source-Devouring Time-Space inflicted even greater losses on them.
The Primordial Universe Time-Space are connected to even more Dimensional Plane.
If one were to recklessly unleash a devouring frenzy here, provoking most of the rulers of Different Dimensional Plane, even if the Source-Devouring Progenitor had reached the fourteenth level, he would definitely not fare well.
Just because a Lord of Dimension is not enough to fight him doesn't mean that an entire powerful group is equally helpless against him.
Moreover, it's not only the Destruction Supreme and the Lord of Evil Swamp who have a deep yearning for that higher level of power in the Multiverse.
Other similar entities, once they learn of the news, may well be drawn to it.
An ancestor who can maintain a clear mind and possesses extreme Source-Devouring Power is an extremely attractive target to some creatures.
When that time comes, it's likely that the Mechanical God Emperor Saine won't be the only one eyeing placing the Source-Devouring Progenitor on the Laboratory Table for dissection and research!
This is certainly not something that Hemon and the few local powerhouses around him have fully figured out.
What they saw more directly was that the Source-Devouring Legion in front of them had not continued to approach their Homeworld.
As for why higher-level beings haven't escalated the war yet, that's not something these civilizations can easily control.
When the actual goods were delivered, the personnel in charge of receiving them first inspected the storage devices containing these resources.
They were placed in a separate Delivery Zone and did not enter the nearby Transport Facilities with the Source-Devouring Beast Legion.
Geduo stood in front, opening each layer of seals.
Some of these special crystalline materials still show subtle Bright Yellow Patterns. Others are extradimensional resources accumulated over a long period in the Source-Devouring Time-Space; not everything has only one devouring attribute.
The visiting local powerhouses gradually moved forward.
Luo Heng did not immediately touch the crystals, but instead had his subordinates identify the parts that could be directly exchanged.
Geduo did not urge them.
Even from the outer perimeter, the aura of several Source-Devouring Beasts could still be sensed as they constantly shifted their positions. However, they ultimately did not cross the line. A powerful Devouring Source expert responsible for restraining the herd led the most restless beast further away.
The World-Realm Emperor Monarch then arrived at the Delivery Zone.
He did not reveal his Rule True Body, but only handed over the records of the discussions to the personnel in charge of affairs on both sides.
The protective barriers surrounding the local powerhouses remained in place. Seeing this, the World-Realm Emperor Monarch did not demand that they put all of these items away.
"We can exchange a batch first," he said.
The first to agree was the civilization that had brought the resources ahead of time.
The High-Grade Materials they produced were placed in their respective storage locations. What had previously only been written in records was finally being delivered to them.
The delivery of the other civilization did not go so smoothly.
The batch of crystalline materials that had been agreed upon could withstand some of the Rule Power they needed. The local expert in charge of the liaison sent one of the pieces into the Earth Element device behind him, and fine cracks appeared in the outer crystal patterns.
He then left the rest of the materials in their original place and requested that they be replaced with another batch.
After examining the cracked crystal patterns, Geduo contacted his superiors. By the time a suitable replacement arrived, much of the delivery time had passed.
The other party did not retreat. The resources they had brought along the way were recalculated and finally exchanged for physical items that could be used in the Homeworld.
When Saine saw the shipment delivered through the Yuanyu garrison, his gaze lingered for a moment on one of the crystals.
The original power of that object was not completely mixed with the surrounding Devouring Source Patterns.
Of all the physical objects that the World-Realm Emperor Monarch had handed over before, he had never seen one with the exact same appearance.
"Keep some of this type for me as well," Saine said.
The personnel in charge of the handover conveyed his request. The World-Realm Emperor Monarch quickly agreed to allocate a portion of the supplies separately from the next batch.
Of course, it's not a free gift.
The corresponding exchange materials were then listed. After reviewing them, Saine adjusted only two items before handing them over to Wojin's men for further processing.
He did not suddenly stop all the exchanges that had already begun just because the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord sent Luo Heng over.
In addition to the resources themselves, this batch of transactions also requires the continued use of the facilities already operated by the Mechanical Civilization.
Those Affiliated Civilization that participated in the transshipment were also able to obtain a considerable profit.
Luo Heng glanced at the storage device being delivered from the other side, without making a demand to Saine to immediately expel all the Devouring Source Visitors.
What we really need to bring back is what these creatures did.
After the first round of delivery was completed, the transport team from Source-Devouring Time-Space withdrew from the agreed-upon location.
Several batches of resources that had not yet been agreed upon were taken back by their respective owners. No civilization was obligated to accept all conditions simply because they had arrived here.
Hemon didn't receive the largest quantity of items.
However, some of it could be used directly to repair those Ley Lines that had never recovered. When he handed it over to the personnel in charge of the subsequent repairs, he finally stopped maintaining his previous tense demeanor.
Several other Homeland Civilization have also begun preparing for the next round of deliveries.
Luo Heng transmitted the entire situation he had witnessed to the Myriad Phenomena Time-Space.
The response from the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord was not a demand to immediately halt the transactions. The legions dispatched to Yuanyu also did not increase as a result.
He instructed Luo Heng to maintain the existing garrison while keeping an eye on the Source-Devouring Legion to see if they were using these new contacts to overstep the agreed-upon boundaries.
Once the shipments following the first batch of transactions had stabilized, Saine received another familiar message.
At the other end of that brilliance is Locke.
What appeared before him this time was not the Destruction Supreme who was launching a counterattack, but a massive beast body whose surface was constantly surging with Dark Golden Crystal Tide.
The Crystal Tide Wrath Beast is currently entrenched in a section of the already stabilized, Destruction Starfield.
Locke's God Slaying Spear stood at an angle nearby.
"I want it to come out," Locke said.
Saine's gaze then shifted from the transaction records in his hand to the depths of that starry sky.
