Looking at the crowd discussing animatedly, Xu Yuan pressed his hand down, but it had no effect. He didn't try to dissuade them, and simply said:
"As the only top-level force in the Heavenly Martial Realm, the Holy Heaven Alliance is undoubtedly more united than we are."
To counter them, the powerful figures from Martial Star who entered the Divine Martial Stele must swear Martial Dao Oath, joining forces to fight against the Holy Heaven Alliance. They cannot stand idly by while their allies are attacked.
The noisy conference room immediately fell silent.
Ning Chuan looked up at Xu Yuan and nodded to himself.
The other party's approach was good.
Martial Dao Oath can indeed be broken.
However, unless one possesses the relevant Mystic Truth like him, it would be quite troublesome to deal with.
There are still considerable constraints on the Divine General and even the Heavenly King.
"I'm not exaggerating!"
Xu Yuan's expression was serious as he reminded everyone, "Don't forget, the Holy Heaven Alliance has only temporarily stopped because of the Divine Martial Stele, not because they've given up on invading Martial Star!"
"If they gain a huge advantage from the Divine Martial Stele, it will be a disaster for Martial Star!"
Xu Yuan looked around.
The Heavenly King present knew he wasn't exaggerating. After a brief moment of thought, they all raised their hands in agreement, and no one refused.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Then let's begin the second item on the agenda: the distribution of profits!"
"The martial arts techniques, sacred medicines, and weapons within the Divine Martial Stele are not restricted; you are free to choose, whether to seize them alone or in cooperation with others, it's all fine."
At this point, Xu Yuan changed the subject and said solemnly, "But the lineage within the Divine Martial Stele won't do!"
If it truly exists, we must join forces to seize it.
Even if I can't get my hands on it.
We cannot allow the people of the Heavenly Martial Realm to obtain it!
Xu Yuan spoke with chilling murderous intent.
A foreign Heavenly King asked, "If we obtain the Dao lineage, how will it be distributed?"
It's not confirmed yet.
Xu Yuan said calmly, "After all, when we join forces, we definitely need to discuss things together."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly King present exchanged glances and fell into a brief silence.
"Since no one has spoken, I won't stand on ceremony. Let me propose a distribution plan first."
The ferocious beast leader, with his impatient nature, said, "If the lineage can only be passed down once, then needless to say, whoever seizes it gets to keep it!"
If it can be passed down multiple times...
The ferocious beast leader grinned, revealing a gaping maw, and said, "There are three factions in total. Whichever faction wins will receive half of the spots, and the remaining spots will be divided equally between the other two factions."
Luan Teng scoffed, saying sarcastically, "You've got quite the scheme!"
Upon hearing this, the beast leader sneered and said, "What? You disagree? Then you name one. Your hand may be broken, but your mouth is fine!"
The power of the ferocious beasts is no match for that of the alien races.
But as a Heavenly King of the River Realm, he naturally had no fear of the Luan Teng that were a realm lower than him.
"Then you can wait and see if you can split it equally!"
With a gloomy expression, Luan Teng stopped arguing with the beast leader and offered no new suggestions.
The same applies to the other Heavenly King, including those of humankind.
They all knew.
The current allocation plan is merely a superficial proposal and has no real value.
If they truly seize the lineage, they will tear it apart on the spot!
How exactly the distribution will proceed, or even whether it will be distributed at all and monopolized by one faction, will only be known at that time.
Xu Yuan was aware of this as well, and without delaying the allocation, he said, "Let's proceed according to the beast leader's suggestion."
After finishing that, we immediately moved on to the next agenda item.
Regarding the allocation of special passages to the Divine Martial Stele.
Many of the Heavenly King immediately perked up.
This is the real focus of today's meeting!
Entering the Divine Martial Stele through a special passage significantly reduces the level of suppression experienced.
In other words...
Their abilities have improved significantly compared to others.
The more powerful individuals enter the Divine Martial Stele, the greater the probability of seizing the Dao lineage.
How many slots will each of our three factions receive?
Xu Yuan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a Heavenly King from the River Realm named Hu Yun stood up, cleared his throat, and said, " The Federation has the most Heavenly King; we need 20 slots."
The conference room fell silent.
All eyes turned to Hu Yun, making Hu Yun feel somewhat embarrassed.
There are only 49 special passages to the Divine Martial Stele.
Of these, 25 belonged to the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Martial Star received 24 seats.
His demand for 20 seats right off the bat was indeed excessive.
But since this is a negotiation, we must leave enough room for maneuver.
"Twenty is too many!"
The ferocious beast leader, his mane flaming like flames, said, "The ferocious beasts don't ask for much. Of the 24 spots for Martial Star, we only need a quarter, six spots will suffice!"
A quarter of the spots isn't a lot.
However, it depends on which side they are dealing with.
Even if the ferocious beasts quadrupled their power, they would still be no match for the alien races, let alone the Federation.
"We don't care how the Federation and the alien races allocate their spots, but of the 24 slots, we must get 12!"
Luan Teng spoke with a firm tone.
He spoke on behalf of a different ethnic group.
When negotiating slots, we can't just look at ability; we need to select the most eloquent and persuasive Heavenly King.
"You guys have quite the appetite, can you even finish it all!"
Hu Yun sneered and said, "The alien races can have a maximum of six spots, the ferocious beasts a maximum of two, and the rest belong to the Federation. This is a fair allocation based on strength!"
"Based on strength?"
Luan Teng sneered sarcastically, " The Federation's strength is more than twice ours? When did that happen? How come I didn't know!"
The gap between the ferocious beasts and the Federation was enormous, so the beast leader dared not mock them, and said in a low voice, "Two spots are definitely not enough. The three River Realm Heavenly King, including myself, will all enter the Divine Martial Stele!"
This approach is extremely risky.
If the three king-level ferocious beasts from the River Realm were to be wiped out in the secret realm of the Divine Martial Stele, it would be no less than a catastrophe for the ferocious beasts of the Martial Star!
However, the status of ferocious beasts on the Martial Star has always been at the bottom.
If we can seize the Daoist lineage, we might not only catch up with the Federation, but we could even surpass the Alien Council.
It's worth the risk!
The representatives of the three forces were engaged in heated discussions, with their respective Heavenly King echoing their sentiments, creating a scene resembling a bustling marketplace, filled with noise.
Luan Teng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Stop asking for exorbitant prices. If we continue like this, we won't be able to reach a conclusion even when the Divine Martial Stele is opened."
As he spoke, he glanced at the beast leader not far away and said, "To be frank, of the 24 spots, 4 will go to the beasts, and the remaining 20 will be split 50/50 between the Federation and us, with each taking 10!"
"That's good!"
The leader of the ferocious beasts responded immediately.
The power of the ferocious beasts is no match for that of the Federation and the alien races. The purpose of this meeting is to maintain our position at number 2 and strive for number 3!
Four spots are quite a generous reward!
"Impossible!"
Hu Yun's voice was cold and resolute.
He could see through the alien race's plan: to win over the ferocious beasts and jointly counterbalance the Federation.
" The Federation can only relinquish 10 of the special passages allocated to Martial Star; this is the absolute bottom line!"
The Federation ultimately conceded.
The original bottom line was to only give 8 slots to alien races and ferocious beasts.
Now two more have been added.
This was not Hu Yun's personal decision.
Even Hu Yun couldn't make the decision.
He had a secret conversation with Xu Yuan, Wei Chen, and other Great River Realm Heavenly King via telepathy, and they jointly decided to make concessions.
no way.
As Xu Yuan had said before, the Holy Heaven Alliance of the Heavenly Martial Realm had made full preparations, and the Martial Star side could not delay any longer and needed to finalize a plan as soon as possible.
However, the alien race was unmoved by Hu Yun's proposal and resolutely opposed it.
Seeing someone taking the lead, the beast leader was naturally pleased and would not choose to support the Federation.
The meeting has reached a stalemate!
