After deep deliberation and repeated weighing of his options, Liu Changxu finally decided to accept the Giant Race's peace proposal.
Seeing Liu Changxu nod in agreement, Tukelei gave a bitter smile. The two then held a serious, in-depth discussion on how to establish peace between their races in practical terms, and the atmosphere became particularly friendly and harmonious.
Once the discussion ended, Tukelei took his leave and returned to his race to report.
However, Liu Changxu's approval was only one of many necessary conditions for true peace between the two races. Though he held a lofty position among the Human Race, he could not make decisions on behalf of the entire race.
To safeguard the interests of all parties, Liu Changxu specifically notified the Human Race's major top-tier sects of the Giant Race's peace proposal and laid out his own decision in full.
Upon receiving the news, the Human Race's major sects swiftly took action, soon assembling a negotiating delegation led by the Purple Sky Sect and the Great Brightness Temple.
