Xu Tian fell silent the moment he heard this, because he understood that the person before him was right. What qualifications did he have to negotiate now?
But Xu Tian still did not want to give up, so he asked Tai Yi:
"What will it take for you to agree to leave a trace of my bloodline behind?"
Hearing this, Tai Yi stated:
"There is no possibility of that, no matter what. At most, I can promise that when the time comes, as long as the people in the Sun Moon Empire do not resist me, I will minimize the killing. As for anything else, you can forget it."
"You have three minutes to decide whether you'll tell me what I want to know. If you don't, I'll kill you and ask your son. I can also ask those who study Soul Tools; they can tell me the same things."
After saying this, Tai Yi stared at Xu Tian.
After being refused by Tai Yi once again, Xu Tian did not know what to say. He could accept someone taking the empire away from him, but he could not accept his branch being wiped out and cut off completely. The empire's three hereditary Martial Souls would disappear forever.
Unable to accept this, Xu Tian spoke to Tai Yi once more:
"Leave my family a bloodline. It doesn't have to be a royal descendant—leave behind a child born to a princess who married out. You don't even have to let the child awaken a Martial Soul. Just let them live under your surveillance. When you think the time is right, you can let them awaken their Martial Soul—or never let them awaken it at all. Find someone for them to have children with. I only want to pass the bloodline down.
