Lu Yin frowned. "If you're confident you can control Absolute Path, why bother negotiating with me, National Teacher?" The two things contradicted each other. It was as if the man were deliberately putting himself at a disadvantage.
National Teacher Bu Tian replied solemnly, "It's simple. I want to be friends with Alliance Leader Lu."
Lu Yin was taken aback, then burst out laughing. "You've got to be joking, National Teacher. The Giant Beast Starfield and Human Starfield have been at war for countless years, with countless casualties. There's no way to resolve that. How could we become friends?"
"Our positions may differ, but we can still be friends. For example, if Alliance Leader Lu wants to know something, I can tell you. I ask for nothing else. I only hope you'll ensure I can live out my remaining years in peace. I don't have long to live. While I'm alive, I hope things will remain as they are. What happens between the Human Starfield and the Giant Beast Starfield after my death is no longer my concern," National Teacher Bu Tian said, his voice tinged with melancholy.
If Lu Yin hadn't merged with Invisible Monster and witnessed Bu Tian collecting so many humanoid sourceboxes, he might have believed him. After all, the Giant Beast Starfield was already at an absolute disadvantage, with no chance of turning things around. But now...
Lu Yin sneered. He couldn't figure out what the Heavenly Demon Empire was planning, nor what Bu Tian wanted. But those humanoid sourceboxes were definitely no ordinary things. Even if he didn't move against the Giant Beast Starfield, he had to act against that place.
Right. He'd almost forgotten. He had to act against that place.
"Do you know what I want to know, National Teacher?" Lu Yin asked curiously.
