"Negotiations are possible, but concessions will not be made by Council!"
A Heavenly King from another race spoke in a deep voice.
The Federation's response was equally forceful. "Dream on! The 14 special passages are the last line of defense. Let me give you a piece of advice: don't play with fire!"
The tense atmosphere in the meeting room showed no signs of abating.
Instead, it became even more intense.
Seeing that persuasion was hopeless, the beast leader immediately changed his approach and said with a forced smile, "How about we end the meeting here for today?"
We'll discuss this further when we get back.
Anyway, there's still some time before the Divine Martial Divine Martial Stele opens, so there's no rush.
The beast leader was somewhat exhausted.
Of the three forces present, the ferocious beast was the weakest, yet he had to worry about the most.
Fortunately, Federation and the alien races accepted the suggestion.
However, tensions between the two sides remain high.
Li Huo said coldly, "We don't care how many slots the Federation wants, but it can't exceed the Council. That's our bottom line!"
After saying this, he led the alien Heavenly King away, without even leaving through the door, through the broken window, and ascended into the sky.
The king-level ferocious beasts did not linger any longer.
They couldn't be persuaded.
The alien races will not back down, and there is no reason for the Federation, the strongest power on the current Martial Star, to concede.
Before leaving, the leader of the ferocious beasts did not forget to say goodbye to Ning Chuan.
"The trade for methods of cultivating spiritual power World Walker is still open. If you have any related interests, please feel free to contact us."
The leader of the ferocious beasts knew this clearly.
This move will definitely offend the Goddess of Night.
But the Federation government is there to protect us.
The potential gains from a trade far outweigh the risks!
Before long, all the king-level ferocious beasts had left.
The conference room was almost completely dilapidated, with a mess everywhere. Only the silent human Heavenly King remained, all of them speechless, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.
The foreign race's tough stance exceeded their expectations.
At this moment, Xu Yuan broke the silence in the room, looking at Ning Chuan calmly and saying, "At the next meeting, tone it down a bit; your attitude today was too forceful."
Ning Chuan's eyes turned cold as he said, "How do you intend to conceal it? By sharing two methods of cultivating spiritual power!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "No, I'm not saying these things to criticize you."
"I and the other Heavenly King of the Federation will definitely stand by your side."
Xu Yuan pointed out the problem, saying, "However, you refused too decisively on the issue of spiritual power cultivation methods, and you shouldn't have threatened Luan Teng with a bounty."
Both of these approaches are detrimental to the negotiations.
If you could discuss it with us before making a decision, you could politely decline using the reason of the number of inheritance attempts, leaving enough room for maneuver...
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Wuchen interrupted him, scoffing and saying disdainfully, " Xu Yuan, you're supposed to be a Heavenly King of the Great River Realm, yet you're getting worse with age. Blaming a Knight for the responsibility of negotiations—have you no shame?!"
World Walker from Galaxy University may rarely interact, a special bond exists between them.
Similar to senior and junior brothers.
Qiu Kai's willingness to self-destruct his avatar at the Moon God Ruins was not only because Ning Chuan was related to the repair of the Spirit Forging Meditation Method; if Ning Chuan did not have the identity of the World Walker, Qiu Kai might not have been so resolute.
Xu Yuan looked at Ye Wuchen, his face showing no anger, and said, "I know, Ning Chuan is very young. He won't be a sophomore until after this summer vacation!"
"If students in the Federation still have a summer vacation this year!"
Xu Yuan said in a serious tone, "A chaotic world is about to break out. Ning Chuan's combat strength is comparable to or even surpasses that of ordinary Heavenly King. He is destined not to be regarded as an ordinary student!"
This is unfair to Ning Chuan, but there's nothing we can do about it!
The responsibility rests on the shoulders of 80 billion people in the Federation! It's his responsibility! It's yours! It's the responsibility of all of us here!
Xu Yuan's voice was deafening.
No one in the meeting room agreed.
It's difficult to persuade them.
The dispute between the two Great River Realm Heavenly King is not a matter of who is right and who is wrong; it's simply a matter of different perspectives.
Ye Wuchen narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Isn't Ning Chuan responsible enough to the Federation? He's increased the price of the Divine Wave Meditation Method several times over; surely he can sell it!"
Xu Yuan said, "I didn't say Ning Chuan was irresponsible. My previous remarks weren't accusations; I just hoped he could tone it down a bit."
"That's just nice talk!"
Ye Wuchen sneered.
Xu Yuan could no longer hold back, a hint of anger flashing across his face. He said, " Ye Wuchen, I can act according to my own emotions, just like you, and support Ning Chuan's actions!"
"But I'm asking you!"
Xu Yuan's voice was icy as he asked, "What should we do if we fall out with the alien race?"
Does this mean we're simultaneously fighting against both the alien races and the Heavenly Martial Realm?
Can we do it?
You should be aware that the Federation's overall strength lags far behind the Holy Heaven Alliance of the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Even now, compared to other races, we may not necessarily have the advantage!
Who knows if that damned man in black robes is an awakened Law Spirit!
Xu Yuan was practically roaring.
After he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent, and the many Heavenly King remained silent.
Ye Wuchen frowned.
The situation facing the Federation is indeed dire; this is the price of being the dominant power in the Martial Star.
The solution is quite simple.
Enhance the Federation's strength, or relinquish its dominant position.
"The failure of the negotiations has nothing to do with Ning Chuan."
At that moment, Wei Chen's voice rang out.
Everyone composed themselves and turned their gazes in that direction.
There are several Great River Realm Heavenly King in the Federation.
However, only two people held the highest positions: Bai Qi and Wei Chen.
The former, needless to explain, is the Federation's strongest Heavenly King!
The latter, though weaker in strength, has made unparalleled contributions to humanity and the Federation.
More than half of the Heavenly King in the Federation owe Wei Chen a debt of gratitude.
Wei Chen looked around and explained, "The alien race used the Divine Wave Meditation Method to launch an attack, but it was just an excuse."
If they really wanted it, their attitude would be similar to that of a ferocious beast.
Instead of making outrageous demands for credit!
The alien Heavenly King likely already possesses methods for cultivating spiritual power.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuchen's eyes flashed, and he said, "Principal, you mean... that black-robed man is Law Spirit, and he gave the alien Heavenly King a method for cultivating spiritual power."
"Right."
Wei Chen nodded and said, "Whether Ning Chuan makes concessions or not is meaningless. Even if they share the Divine Wave Meditation Method, the alien race will find another excuse."
As he spoke, he looked at Ning Chuan and asked, "Do you think the man in black robes is Law Spirit?"
Wei Chen knew that Ning Chuan was very intelligent.
"Yes, the names of deities have always been kept secret, and are rarely recorded in historical records."
Ning Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, the alien races' negotiating attitude shows they are not afraid of retaliation from the Federation. Simply relying on the invasion of the Heavenly Martial Realm wouldn't have allowed them to do this."
Upon hearing this, an uproar erupted at the scene.
Although these Heavenly King suspected the black-robed man's identity, once they were certain, they were deeply disturbed.
The awakening of the Law Spirit is definitely more harmful than beneficial to the Federation!
Xu Yuan said in a deep voice, "In that case, we absolutely cannot afford to fall out with the alien race!"
Ye Wuchen disagreed with his point of view, saying, "Peace is predicated on not infringing upon the Federation's core interests. An alliance gained through compromise and appeasement is nothing but shame!"
"Or, let the people from the Heavenly Martial Realm enter Martial Star, as long as they don't provoke the Federation."
A government Heavenly King proposed a strategy of using the Heavenly Martial Realm to counterbalance the alien races and the Law Spirit.
"No!"
"This is like drinking poison to quench thirst; it's tantamount to slow suicide!"
Even if we are severely injured and unable to defeat them, and even if the Heavenly Martial Realm invades Martial Star, we cannot let them in!
The several military leaders standing beside Bai Qi had Heavenly King expressions and clearly expressed their refusal.
"What should we do then?"
Hu Yun, who had previously spoken on behalf of the Federation, sighed and raised a key question.
The meeting room fell silent again.
At this moment, Bai Qi's eyes flashed with bloodlust, and he said indifferently, "It would be best if the alien race were willing to make concessions at the next meeting."
If they won't allow it, then we'll use the Federation's clan-specific weapon!
Upon hearing this, the scene erupted in chaos and commotion.
Bai Qi remained calm, turning his head to look at Ning Chuan, and said, "Let's go, I'll see you out."
Ning Chuan paused for a moment, then stood up, called Lu Zhan, and walked outside together.
To some extent, Lu Zhan can be attributed to lone wolf powerhouses.
Wei Chen followed.
The many Heavenly King stared at the retreating figures of the group, somewhat bewildered.
Xu Yuan realized something, and his brows furrowed.
Not long after.
Bai Qi saw Ning Chuan out of the city hall, then stopped and stood with Wei Chen in the dimly lit hall.
The clash of energies between the Heavenly King earlier had disrupted the electrical circuits in the hall.
Ning Chuan stood outside the door, turned around and looked at Wei Chen and Bai Qi. The light from the sky was soft and bright, and the warm air from the sea breeze was very comfortable.
"Go."
Bai Qi said softly, "If you don't want to come to the next meeting, then don't come."
Now, all you need to do is focus on your spiritual practice.
There's no need to bother with these upsetting things.
Bai Qi has always been cold and indifferent, and has never shown any concern even for his own children.
But this time, he made an exception, which was unusual.
Ning Chuan shook his head and said seriously, "I can handle this much mentally."
Across from him, Wei Chen smiled slightly and said, "No need. Xu Yuan's words make some sense, but they're not entirely correct."
You need to shoulder part of the responsibility of protecting the Federation.
This is what Bai Qi, the people, and I expect from you.
However, not now.
The situation in the Federation is indeed not optimistic, but Bai Qi and I are not old yet, we can hold on for a while longer!
Wei Chen spoke casually, gazing at Ning Chuan, and said, "Even a strong eagle needs protection. Take advantage of this time to accumulate the power to become the overlord of the skies."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan remained silent for a moment, then bowed to the two of them.
Then, he strode away.
