"A peaceful environment for humans and Soul Beast is especially good for you high-ranking Soul Beast, isn't it? You don't have to worry about a Titled Douluo suddenly appearing and killing you for no reason. You just need to quietly wait for the Heavenly Tribulation to arrive and wait to die!"
Di Tian's face darkened. Who was this implying? He retorted, "What about the Spirit Bone? Don't you humans covet Spirit Bone?"
Hahahaha!
Bi Ji, Zi JI, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, Gu Yuena, and others asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Do you think that since we've already broken through the age limit of Soul Ring, we can't create Spirit Bone? At the rate of development of our Spirit Hall, Artificial Soul Bone is only a matter of time. By then, the conflict between humans and Soul Beast will be completely resolved! Wouldn't it be wonderful for the two races to live in peace?"
"But the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire are not so good. They oppose technology. If they were to unify the Douluo Continent, all of our Spirit Hall's resources would be destroyed. In return, the era of barbaric battles between humans and Soul Beast would return! Do you think that would be beneficial to you?"
Qian Xunqian was very clever. Instead of talking about the benefits to the Soul Beast Clan, she first talked about the price the Soul Beast Clan would have to pay if the Spirit Hall failed, forcing the Soul Beast to choose sides and trying to tie the interests of the Soul Beast Clan race to the rise and fall of the Spirit Hall.
Gu Yuena didn't sense anything amiss. She nodded the dragon head. The Spirit Hall was indeed the most advantageous human group for the Soul Beast Clan at the moment, and such an opportunity was rare. Once missed, who knew when the next human group that cared for Soul Beast would come along? If she could use them to help her return to the Divine Realm, tsk tsk tsk...
The two great empires would never cooperate with Gu Yuena. Qian Xunqian wanted to use Gu Yuena, but Gu Yuena also wanted to take advantage of the Spirit Hall's power. She dreamed of returning to the Divine Realm!
As for the future of the Soul Beast Clan, that's secondary. Anyway, the Spirit Hall doesn't rely on hunting wild Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring, which is extremely beneficial to the Soul Beast Clan. I guess you could say that I, as the ruler of the Soul Beast, have chosen a "good friend" for them.
"As for the benefits! After defeating the Divine Realm, you'll have everything you want, right? Silver Dragon King, a God-King level being, you can only exert the strength of a demigod due to the limitations of the Douluo Continent. But once you arrive in the Divine Realm, everything will be different. As a God-King, you'll be enough to change the course of the battle. And to show our sincerity, we will provide you with a better healing environment and tonics to help you recover as soon as possible."
Qian Xunqian continues to make empty promises, but I won't say what benefits the alliance will bring you; I'm just being wary of you.
On the contrary, it was this conscious wariness that made Gu Yuena feel that Qian Xunqian very sincere. After all, who would be foolish enough to immediately propose an alliance, listing all the advantages and disadvantages without any sense of caution? What if there was a trap?
"This... Your Highness, this girl's tongue is too sharp. Although I can't find any major faults, I still feel it's inappropriate." Di Tian always felt that doing business with humans was not a good idea. Humans' intelligence was far superior to that of Soul Beast. Cooperating with them was like asking a tiger for its skin; he was afraid he would lose both his wife and his army.
Di Tian's starting point was for the sake of the Soul Beast. Cooperating with humans was too risky. Humans were trustworthy, but if they stabbed the soul beasts in the back, the Soul Beast Clan would be doomed!
Gu Yuena, however, was determined to return to the Divine Realm. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right in front of her; if she missed it, she didn't know how many millennia she would have to wait! She had to carefully consider whether this was the only chance she could have in her life.
Risk and opportunity go Qian Xunqian. Although I don't know what you're up to, if I can really enter the Divine Realm, then I, Gu Yuena, will have made a profit!
This is a gamble! And it's an absolutely unfair gamble.
Qian Xunqian's gamble was all about Gu Yuena's greed! If she won, she could trap the high-ranking Soul Beast and annihilate them; if she lost, it wouldn't be a big deal, she could just gather more people and spend more resources to slaughter the high-ranking Soul Beast one by one in the Star Dou Forest. It's a war of attrition, who's afraid of who!
I'll win anyway; it's just a matter of whether it's a big win or a small win.
Therefore, Qian Xunqian was very confident. Behind her stood a solid economic foundation laid by a vast industrial and agricultural system, a talent base laid by a healthy education system, and finally, top-tier combat power from dozens of Titled Douluo.
She has the support of countless working people from the Spirit Hall. She has the confidence and is not afraid of you high-ranking Soul Beast. If you want to fight, then fight!
But if Gu Yuena agrees, then we'll truly fall into an abyss. Qian Xunqian went to such lengths to lure us into a trap, to bring all the high-ranking Soul Beast to the Spirit Hall for a unified and brutal extermination!
"Fine! I agree!" Gu Yuena ultimately couldn't overcome her greed. She still wanted to take a gamble. What if she really returned to the Divine Realm? Even if it was a trap, as the strongest person on the Gu Yuena Douluo Continent, with the combat power of a demigod, how could the people of the Spirit Hall possibly capture her? She could just escape and wait for the next opportunity!
Qian Xunqian smiled crookedly, "A wise choice." As she spoke, she displayed her Technology God, a new kind of divine power that had never existed in the Divine Realm before. Gu Yuena felt both unfamiliarity and immense power.
"No... no wonder you were so confident in taking me back to the Divine Realm, ha..." Gu Yuena had initially regretted the alliance, after all, the fate of the Soul Beast Clan had been so casually tied to the warship of the Spirit Hall. But now her regret was gone; the Spirit Hall had really hidden themselves well!
She only reveals her ultimate move after she agrees; Qian Xunqian is truly a formidable opponent!
"Excuse me, does your Soul Beast Clan have a unified, specialized animal script?" Qian Xunqian asked sincerely.
"No." Gu Yuena was speechless. Language and writing were created by humans. They, as intelligent Soul Beast, only borrowed them. Ultimately, Soul Beast did not have their own language and writing.
"Okay, then I'll write it in Chinese characters?"
"Casual."
Qian Xunqian wrote two documents: one was the " Beast–Spirit Hall Alliance Agreement," and the other was the " Beast–Spirit Hall Non-Aggression Treaty." Each document was signed by Qian Xunqian.
After signing, Qian Xunqian handed the file to Gu Yuena, Gu Yuena also transformed into human form for once and accepted the paper with Hands.
However, she hadn't held a pen in a long time, and her handwriting was like a dog's scrawle, a stark contrast to Qian Xunqian's beautiful and neat cursive script.
" Qian Xunqian, so that's your name. What a nice name." Even though I don't know the meaning of the name, I'll just praise it.
Qian Xunqian took the file, examined it several times, and then joined in the mutual flattery, saying, " Gu Yuena, it's clearly a name with potential! Someone, take this and make three copies. Give one to our dearest ally, Gu Yuena, put one in the Spirit Hall's safe, and the last one on my desk."
