Ceding Territory and Paying Reparations

"Humans! Do you truly intend to exterminate us all?" Above the void, a black sphere appeared out of nowhere. The next moment, the figure of the Lord of Aofa appeared beside it.

"Get out of here, all of you!" A suffocating divine power surged from its body, and the human Universe Master below all felt an astonishing energy fluctuation!

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a Giant Axe tore through space, and the figure of the Giant Axe Founder appeared directly in front of the group of human powerhouses.

"Mechanical, you've gone too far!" The gruff voice of the Giant Axe Founder echoed throughout the space. "The rules were personally established by our four races, and you, the one who set the rules, are leading the way in breaking them. You truly have no shame!"

The Machine Race Father God did not answer; it simply waited quietly for the return of the Lord of Aofa's consciousness.

"I never imagined that the Lord of Heavenly Heart's illusion magic would be so powerful. Even the Arcane Law was struggling to resist, taking a full breath to react!" The Machine Race Father God sighed, looking at the Lord of Aofa beside him. "This is terrifying! The Lord of Heavenly Heart's progress is terrifying. Now that he has established his power, as long as we are in the Primal Universe, I'm afraid our Machine Race will have to give him a wide berth!"

A moment later, the will of the Lord of Aofa finally awoke, and instinctively, it cried out in terror to the black sphere beside it, "Lord Shen! Save me!"

The Machine Race Father God's face was extremely grim. Universe Master, even if they were all killed by his meddling, it was only because they were too weak and couldn't hold out until he came to their rescue.

However, the Lord of Aofa possessed the strength of a fifth-tier being, making it a top-tier existence in the entire Primal Universe. If the combined attack of the human race's powerful members had actually landed on it, the Lord of Aofa would likely have perished as well. Moreover, with a sweep of its Spiritual Force, it quickly discovered that, apart from a few individuals, the other members of its Machine Race were all trapped in an illusion.

No fewer than three Universe Masters had completely withered and disappeared, clearly indicating that these were powerful beings whose will had been corrupted. What's more, these three Universe Masters were the true foundation of its Machine Race, and their sudden fall meant that all previous investments had gone down the drain.

"Giant Axe! Enough! One Peak True Treasure! This matter is over!" The eyes of the Machine Race Father God had turned completely cold. "This is my final bottom line. For this war, my Machine Race has already lost four Universe Masters! The price paid has been enough!"

Peak True Treasure!

What is its value?

Ten Top-tier Supreme Treasure Armor are no match for one Peak True Treasure!

Normally, he would only give one top-tier Supreme Treasure Weapon to his own clan, and only one high-grade Supreme Treasure Weapon to a vassal clan with potential!

It didn't want to give it up, but it couldn't accept it if the battle continued! Leaving aside the fact that the Lord of Heavenly Heart's illusion techniques were effective against its Machine Race, it couldn't even defeat the Giant Axe before it. If the battle continued, even if its Machine Race wasn't completely wiped out, it would suffer severe damage!

However, if the human race were to offer ten Top-tier True Treasure as the price for their retreat, not to mention others, even the Lord of Heavenly Heart would probably not agree. It didn't want to delay any longer; it wanted to resolve the matter here quickly! One Peak True Treasure was more than enough.

A gleam of joy flashed in the eyes of the City Lord of Chaos, who transmitted his voice to Lu Yan'an, "Lord of Heavenly Heart, a Peak True Treasure! That's about enough... We just killed four Universe Masters on the other side; such a feat is extremely rare even in the vast environment of the Primal Universe!"

"This already shows it considerable sincerity. If we were to refuse, we might really have to fight. It's not just about the Machine Race Father God; it also concerns the face of the hundreds of Universe Master present!"

"Peak True Treasure? That's not entirely impossible," Lu Yan'an whispered to the City Lord of Chaos and the Giant Axe Founder. "Uncle-Master, you, the Founder, and that Machine Race Father God should talk to him! We must resolutely prevent this guy from using a Supreme Treasure Weapon to harass us! This is my compensation for emotional distress, the spoils of war I've worked so hard for!"

Giant Axe raised an eyebrow upon hearing the latter part of Lu Yan'an's words sound so grating? Good heavens, compensation for emotional distress? Anyone who didn't know better would think you really suffered a loss! However, seeing Lu Yan'an's enthusiastic expression, he didn't say anything in response.

He said with a stern face, "Mechanical, our human race has generally agreed to your compensation terms! However, there are still some details that need to be negotiated."

Although it had anticipated that the humans would make exorbitant demands, the Machine Race Father God hadn't expected them to be so shameless, even going so far as to call it some kind of compensation—it was infuriating just to hear it! But there was nothing it could do; after all, the Machine Race was the absolute weaker party. So it could only patiently continue talking.

"Peak True Treasure as compensation is acceptable! But my human race demands a supreme Flying Palace-type item..."

"Shut up!" Before the Giant Axe Founder could finish speaking, the Machine Race Father God Giant Axe Founder him as if he had been provoked. "Peak Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure? You really dare to mention that!"

"A supreme Supreme Treasure of the Flying Palace-type is as precious as Supreme Treasure Weapon! Even if my Machine Race had one, let alone lack it, we would never offer it for trade!" the Machine Race Father God declared resolutely. "If you wish to continue the fight, then come! After this battle, while my Machine Race will perish, your Human Race will not fare any better. Your human race's strong will never again leave the Universe Ocean!"

The Machine Race Father God roared madly, his words filled with resentment! The conditions proposed by this Human Race were simply treating him like a pig to be slaughtered!

"If that's the case, then it'll be one Peak True Treasure War Blade and one top -Peak True Treasure battle armor! That's the bottom line!" The Giant Axe Founder never expected that the Machine Race Father God would offer a Peak Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure. That was just asking for an exorbitant price. Two Peak True Treasure were his real goal! It can be said that he used the demolition effect to its fullest extent!

After a long silence, the Machine Race Father God looked around, sighed, and reluctantly threw a suit of armor wreathed in black flames and a spear glowing with starlight at the Giant Axe Founder.

With a wave of his hand, the Giant Axe summoned the Supreme Treasure Armor and Supreme Treasure before him. After a brief inspection, he muttered, "The quality is truly terrible!"

The Machine Race Father God said angrily, "The Supreme Treasure has been given to you. This matter is over. The Gradient Zone is yours. The war between my Machine Race and your Human Race is over! If you dare to continue to invade, your Human Race's Universe Master can expect my assassination!"

The Giant Axe nodded, knowing it had to be given a chance to survive, so it wouldn't make a do-or-die decision.

"Lord of Heavenly Heart, since this matter is concluded, then so be it!"

Lu Yan'an looked at the Machine Race Father God with disdain. It was extremely rare for a Universe Supreme Being to be forced to this point!

The Machine Race Father God stared intently at Lu Yan'an and said coldly, "Lord of Heavenly Heart, you'd better not go to the Universe Ocean!"

After saying that, he turned to the many powerful members of the alliance and said, "Let's go!"

The black sphere disappeared into the universe in the next instant. The Universe Master of the Machine Race Alliance also stared intently at Lu Yan'an. The terror of this Lord of Heavenly Heart had been imprinted in their hearts. They would be extremely cautious if they encountered him again in the future!

This time, the Lord of Heavenly Heart stood on the corpses of three Universe Masters and trampled on the face of the Machine Race, his voice shaking all races!

They then exchanged a glance and simultaneously Teleportation away.

"Hahaha, congratulations to Lord of Heavenly Heart on obtaining this Peak True Treasure!"

"The borders were not even fully formed before our tribal war with the Machine Race ended. This situation has probably never occurred before in history!"

Lu Yan'an smiled and said, "This is all thanks to everyone's deterrence! Otherwise, how could they have been afraid of me alone?"

"Once I've finished dealing with the aftermath here, I'll definitely host a banquet for you all. Please be sure to come!"

The Universe Master of the numerous vassal races replied cheerfully, "Definitely! Definitely!"

"How can we not attend the banquet hosted by the Lord of Heavenly Heart!"

"Not just this time! I think there will be many more banquets like this in the future."

The City Lord of Chaos looked at Lu Yan'an, who was standing among many powerful figures, with a smile on his face. The enthusiastic atmosphere made him feel as if he had returned to the time when his teacher led the Human Race to rise.

The stronger the Human Race becomes, the more it will naturally flatter them! That's the true human race!
