Negotiations
After the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord finished speaking, Ebony remained silent for a long time.
Actively negotiating a ceasefire with the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction was clearly not an outcome he wanted to accept.
This is the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
It's the Mother Time-Space Ebony has been managing for countless millennia!
But now, Locke and Saine's army has penetrated deep into their homeland.
Even the Source-Devouring Reinforcements he summoned at great cost began to extract the Space-Time Origin from the rear.
It's clearly time for him to make Choice; if he continues fighting, he'll be the only loser.
On one side is the ever-advancing Destruction Divine Kingdom Legion.
On the other side is the Source-Devouring Time-Space, which has already embedded the Mother Nest and the passage into the local rules and regulations.
Neither side is easily satisfied.
"Do you think Locke will stop here?" Ebony finally asked.
The Myriad Phenomena Balance Disk floated between the two.
Within the silvery glow of the rules, those Plane Worlds still revealed were corrupted by the Source-Devouring Mother Nest.
"Have no idea."
The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord answered very directly.
"But if we continue fighting, things will only get worse."
"Locke launched this war for his own gain, and also to strike at you and the Darkness Sword Organization."
"A ceasefire is possible as long as you are willing to pay the corresponding price."
At this point, the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord looked at the bright yellow veins in the light screen.
"But the Source-Devouring Time-Space is different."
"They will devour you completely, skin and bones, without you even realizing it..."
Ebony naturally understood this as well.
It was precisely because he understood this that his expression became even more unpleasant.
He originally intended to use the power of the Source-Devouring Time-Space to resist Locke, but he did not expect that after the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch and others entered this place, they gradually took the initiative to become the dominant force.
Inviting a god is easy, but sending him away is difficult.
The portal facilities controlled by the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch have penetrated deep into the local territory.
Even if Ebony were willing to forgo his initial investment and terminate the cooperation, it would be difficult to guarantee that the other party would leave according to his wishes.
Moreover, the World-Devouring Emperor Monarch is still on the front lines.
A large Source-Devouring Beast Legion is also distributed across multiple regions of the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
If they were to immediately turn hostile, the Darkness Sword Organization would have to face two enemies instead of just one: the Destruction Divine Kingdom.
"You can contact that Mechanical God Emperor first," Ebony said.
"If their demands are too excessive, the war will continue."
Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord did not refute.
The silver, rule-like radiance quickly separated from the center of the balance and condensed into a special Communication Mark in front of the two.
Frontline and rear.
The God of Machines is hovering in the center of several Engineering Platform.
The dent on the outside of its right arm caused by the Origin-Returning Divine Gourd has been initially repaired.
The several layers of armor on the left arm, corroded by the Death Origin, were successively removed by the mechanical arm.
Saine stood on the shoulder of the God of Machines, with several frontline dispatch lists floating in front of him.
The Communication Mark of the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord appeared at this time.
Skynet first screens for fluctuations in the rules.
Only after confirming that there were no hidden attacks or corrosive methods did the silver light slowly unfold before Saine.
The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord soon appeared on the other side of the light screen.
"It seems Ebony is gradually coming to his senses after being beaten?" Saine said after seeing the other party.
The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord did not deny it.
He raised his hand and pointed forward, and the record that Ebony had handed over appeared in front of Saine.
Several Source-Devouring Mother Nest rooted outside the plane, as well as the bright yellow Origin constantly flowing into the Source-Devouring Channel, were all recorded very clearly.
Saine's initially casual expression gradually became more serious.
"Did the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch make this?" he asked.
"At least these legions and the Mother Nest are under his control," the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord replied.
"Ebony has already asked them to stop."
"But the Source-Devouring Time-Space did not dismantle its existing facilities."
Saine looked at the bright yellow veins but did not immediately offer any opinion.
He was no stranger to similar methods of source extraction.
During the Clear River Time-Space War, the Source-Devouring Time-Space continuously eroded that Higher Dimensional Plane through this method.
The scale of what has appeared inside the Darkness Sword Time-Space is not yet that exaggerated.
However, Source-Devouring Mother Nest enough time, these bright yellow veins will eventually spread to more star systems.
"You want us to stop the attack?" Saine asked.
"I would like to hear your terms first," said the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord.
"The Source-Devouring Time-Space is using this war to expand."
"If this continues, the one who will ultimately benefit the most is likely to be the Source-Devouring Progenitor."
Saine glanced at Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord.
"The Source-Devouring Time-Space was invited by Ebony."
"The Darkness Sword Organization has caused us no shortage of trouble over the years."
"Now that he can't protect his own Mother Time-Space, he wants us to stop on our own?"
Saine's tone was very calm.
The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord also knew that the reason of maintaining the balance of the Multiverse alone could not persuade the Destruction Divine Kingdom Faction to give up the gains they had already made.
"Ebony is willing to pay the price," he said.
"The exact amount is negotiable."
Upon hearing this, Saine lightly tapped the light screen in front of him with his finger.
"Then let him prepare a list first."
"The Destruction Divine Kingdom, the Mechanical Civilization, the Eternal Day Time-Space, and the Limitless Time-Space all deployed large numbers of legions in this war."
"A ceasefire is not just a matter between Ebony and Lord Locke."
"As long as what they offer is sufficient, of course we can talk."
The Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord nodded.
This was the best answer he could get from this contact.
After the silver light screen disappeared, Saine quickly transmitted the record of the Source-Devouring Mother Nest, along with the message brought by the Myriad Manifestations Eternal Lord, to Locke and the others.
The Lord of Eternal Day was the first to respond.
He had no obsession with whether or not the Darkness Sword Organization was completely destroyed.
However, the numerous wars fought between the Eternal Day Time-Space and the Darkness Sword Organization in the Primordial Universe Time-Space -Space over the years, as well as the legion deployed this time, must be adequately compensated.
The attitude of the Limitless Golden Emperor was more direct.
As long as Ebony can provide high-end resources that satisfy him and concede some benefits in the Primordial Universe Time-Space, a ceasefire is not unacceptable.
Ultimately, it was Locke decided whether the war would continue.
When Saine's message was sent, the Destruction Black Lotus was still hovering above the Frontline Battlefield.
Locke narrowed his Destruction Eyes slightly after reading the record.
He launched this war, certainly not to help the expansion of the Source-Devouring Time-Space.
The weaker Ebony is, the more benefits the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch and others can seize from the Darkness Sword Time-Space.
The origins that were sent into the Source-Devouring Channel would eventually become nourishment for the Source-Devouring Progenitor and the various Emperor Monarch to continue their growth.
Locke was not afraid of Ebony.
However, he couldn't be completely without fear of the Source-Devouring Progenitor, who had already reached the Level Fourteen Life Level.
This true ruler of extreme spacetime possesses power far exceeding that of ordinary Lord of Dimension.
If the Devouring Source-Devouring Time-Space were to use this war to seize large swathes of territory from the Darkness Sword Time-Space, the opponent would only become more troublesome.
He could cut more pieces of flesh from the Ebony.
However, there's no need to let the Source-Devouring Progenitor get too fat.
"We can talk."
Locke made a decision quickly.
"However, we will not back down until the terms are agreed upon."
"Let Ebony speak for himself."
