When negotiating with other races, the Demon Race's Universe Master would certainly not dare to use his true form; he would always go in an avatar.
This way, even if the other party turns against you, you can directly destroy this avatar and avoid putting yourself in danger.
Within the Demon Race Territory, in the Peak Palace Supreme Treasure the Cloud and Mist Mysterious Heaven Palace.
Two figures sat facing each other.
The avatar of the Lord of Sky Wolf sat on the left. Beside him, Lu Qingshan, dressed in a long blue robe, sat leisurely, holding a cup of fragrant wine in his hand.
" Lord of Myriad Laws."
The Lord of Sky Wolf spoke in a deep voice.
"I am here on behalf of the Demon Race to negotiate with the Human Race."
"Negotiation?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
"Tell me, how do you want to negotiate?"
They chatted here while the palace continued its rapid movement. The Lord of Flint and the Lord Anjue continued their relentless conquest of the Demon Race's territory. The Lord of Sky Wolf spoke directly, " Lord of Myriad Laws, although our two Demon Race Demon Race have fallen, we still have 21 Universe Master, including four Fifth-Order Universe Master. In the Primal Universe, we cannot be annihilated. Moreover, just now, the Beast Ancestor agreed to return to our Demon Race. Your Human Race has occupied so much of our Demon Race's territory; it should end now!"
" The Demon Race is indeed powerful." Lu Qingshan did not deny the words of the Lord of Sky Wolf. He smiled and said, "I do not intend to completely annihilate your Demon Race. I only want some territory. I wonder if your Demon Race is willing to agree. If you are, everything is negotiable."
"In the past few years, your Human Race has already occupied 178 star sectors of our Demon Race, haven't you? Isn't that enough? As long as your Human Race immediately stops its invasion, I am willing to mediate and give these 178 star sectors to your Human Race."
This was the result of discussions among the Demon Race Universe Master before their departure. Over the years, their Demon Race had been invaded and occupied by more than three hundred star sectors. If a truce could be reached in exchange for these star sectors, they would accept the outcome.
After all, the Demon Race is currently under a united attack, and even if the Beast Ancestor were to intervene, he could at most only maintain the status quo.
The most important thing now is to break the pattern of being targeted, and then make other plans. In the process, losing some benefits is nothing.
"Not enough!"
Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly.
"Humans!" A glint of fire flashed in the Lord of Sky Wolf's eyes. "You can't be too greedy. Of the forces that have invaded our Demon Race, the Zerg are only one group, the Machine Race has been driven away by us, and the Prison Race has agreed to withdraw. Only your Human Race is divided into two groups and occupies the largest portion of our Demon Race's territory. This proposal is the most beneficial to you."
Lu Qingshan simply shook his head.
" Lord of Sky Wolf, I know that Beast Ancestor. He's merely Level 7 Universe Supreme Master. In the Universe Ocean, he couldn't even withstand a single blow from my Human Race's Giant Axe axe. Our Human Race doesn't take him seriously. Moreover, even if we consider him your Demon Race's strongest being, when your Demon Race had two Universe Supreme Master, you had a total of 1600 star sectors. Now, you only have one Universe Supreme Master left. You should give up at least half of that territory. We are not greedy. Besides the territory we currently occupy, if you cede the remaining half to our Human Race, we are willing to withdraw our troops!"
Half... The Lord of Sky Wolf was stunned.
He hadn't expected the Human Race to have such a huge appetite.
Half of their Demon Race's territory spans 800 star sectors, which is almost equivalent to the entire territory of the Human Race.
Could Human Race possibly consume all of this?
"That's impossible!"
The Lord of Sky Wolf shook his head and continued, "The more than three hundred star sectors that our Demon Race has lost are the limit of our concessions. We will not give up an inch of the rest. Lord of Myriad Laws... I respect your strength, but please do not repeat what you just said."
"It seems we can't reach an agreement."
Lu Qingshan didn't expect to achieve his goal in just one negotiation.
Especially now that the Demon Race has repelled the Machine Race, and the Beast Ancestor has returned.
Since they couldn't reach an agreement, Lu Qingshan didn't continue the topic. He looked at the Lord of Sky Wolf with a smile and said, "I've heard that when your Demon Race united to drive out the Beast Ancestor, you, Lord of Sky Wolf, put in a lot of effort. Now that the Beast Ancestor has returned, aren't you worried that he'll seek revenge later?"
The Lord of Sky Wolf's expression changed slightly.
" Lord of Myriad Laws, this is an internal matter for our Demon Race; it's none of your concern." "I'm just reminding you."
Lu Qingshan put down his wine glass.
" The Beast Ancestor is selfish, vindictive, and vengeful. If he were to return to the Demon Race, do you think those of you who drove him away back then would have a good end?"
"You..."
A flicker of panic crossed the Lord of Sky Wolf's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
" Lord of Myriad Laws, we've come here today to discuss a ceasefire, not these things."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
"The terms for the ceasefire have already been stated, and you certainly won't agree to them. Instead, let's talk about the Beast Ancestor. I have a suggestion, Lord of Sky Wolf, you might want to consider it."
What suggestion?
The Lord of Sky Wolf watched him warily.
" Lord of Sky Wolf, would you be willing to lead your Sky Wolf Race to join our Hong Alliance?"
Lu Qingshan said slowly, "What?"
The Lord of Sky Wolf's expression changed drastically.
" Lord of Myriad Laws, what do you mean by this?"
The meaning is very simple.
Lu Qingshan said.
" The Beast Ancestor has returned. Those of you who drove him away back then will be punished by him sooner or later. The Lord Mie Jin and the Lord of Blood Chisel are not to be feared; they are Level 5. In the Primal Universe, the probability of the Beast Ancestor successfully outmaneuvering them is very small. But you are different. You are not even Level 3 yet, and you have even lost the Sky Wolf Palace. It would be too easy for the Beast Ancestor to kill you. Rather than waiting to die in the Demon Race, you might as well join our Human Alliance."
"You deal with Human Race frequently, so you should understand that we at least won't mistreat our own people."
"You..."
The Lord of Sky Wolf's expression shifted rapidly.
He knew, of course, that once the Beast Ancestor returned, those of them Universe Master had driven him away would certainly not have a good end.
However, it was impossible for him to betray the Demon Race and join the humans. He would rather go to the Northern Territory Alliance. With a Universe Master joining, the Northern Territory Alliance would also protect their Sky Wolf Race...
However, the Lord of Myriad Laws' words also gave him some warning. He should indeed consider how the Sky Wolf Race should choose after the return of the Beast Ancestor. After the Demon Race overcomes this difficulty, their Sky Wolf Race will likely become a thorn in the side of the Beast Ancestor.
" Lord of Sky Wolf, think it over carefully."
Lu Qingshan stood up.
"Take my conditions back and discuss them with the other Universe Master your Demon Race. In the meantime, we will not cease our attacks. Your Demon Race can also try to see if you can treat us the same way you treated the Machine Race."
Lu Qingshan grinned, revealing a slight smile.
"If a decisive battle Universe Master were to break out and we suffered losses, it wouldn't be as simple as just losing half our territory."
After speaking, Lu Qingshan disappeared from the reception room.
The Lord of Sky Wolf sat there alone, silent for a long time. After a long while, he dispelled the avatar and brought the message back to the Demon Race.
The Demon Race's Dream Ancestor Secret Realm.
The Universe Master who went to negotiate have all returned, each bringing back their own news.
As soon as the Lord of Sky Wolf stated the conditions for the Human Race, an uproar erupted. "Impossible!"
" Human Race are too greedy."
"They only have 1008 star sectors in total, yet they want us to cede 800 of them. That's just wishful thinking."
" Lord of Sky Wolf, how exactly did you negotiate? You can accept such conditions?"
Listening to the words of the other Universe Master, the Lord of Sky Wolf shook his head and said wearily, "The one negotiating with me is the Lord of Myriad Laws of the Human Race. He was very firm and didn't give me any chance to bargain."
"Have you mentioned the return of the Beast Ancestor?"
"The Lord Youmo asked."
"Naturally, I did say that... However, the Lord of Myriad Laws said that the Beast Ancestor was merely Level 7 Universe Supreme Master, unable to withstand a single axe blow from the Giant Axe Founder in the Universe Ocean, so he didn't take him seriously at all."
The Lord of Sky Wolf shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, everyone else present fell silent.
It's true that the Beast Ancestor was the Universe Supreme Master, but his strength was indeed not great. He couldn't even compare to the Giant Axe Founder, let alone the Shock Demon Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor.
When the Dream Demon Ancestor returned last time, he mentioned the strength of the Giant Axe and the Lord of Myriad Laws, intentionally or unintentionally. The Giant Axe's strength far exceeded expectations, and the Lord of Myriad Laws was no less than the Universe Supreme Master.
Among the various forces that invaded their Demon Race this time, the Human Race was clearly the most troublesome and had the biggest appetite.
What did the Machine Race say?
The Lord Mie Jin looked at the Lord Youmo.
" The Machine Race was defeated by us last time, and they're behaving themselves now... They haven't agreed or made any demands, probably trying to buy time and wait for the Mechanical Father God to return."
The Lord Youmo also saw through the Machine Race's ulterior motives.
What about the Prison Race?
The Lord of Blood Chisel said, "I spoke with the Prison King for several days. The Prison Race is quite reasonable. After learning of the return of the Beast Ancestor, they agreed to withdraw their troops. However, they have no intention of handing over the territory they occupied and the resources they plundered."
"That's already pretty good."
Finally, they heard some good news. The Lord Mie Jin breathed a sigh of relief. With one less Prison Race, the pressure on their Demon Race would be greatly reduced.
Although the Prison Race cannot compare to the Human Race, Machine Race, Zerg, they are still a top-tier race with the Universe Supreme Master.
Of the Six Great Peak Races, the Crystal Race did not participate, the Prison Race agreed to withdraw, leaving only the Human Race, the Machine Race, and the Zerg... The Machine Race poses no immediate threat. "What did the Zerg say?"
The Lord of Blood Chisel looked at the Lord Changjiu.
The Lord Changjiu's expression was not good. He said, "My negotiations with the Zerg Queen were going smoothly, but unexpectedly, the Zerg Queen of the Zerg Lord Minglian, using the fact that our Demon Race invaded half of their star sector billions of years ago as a reason, demanded that we pay a thousandfold compensation, at least 500 star sectors in return, before they would withdraw their Zerg. Zerg Queen actually agreed to her conditions!"
"These Zerg are truly cunning. They're clearly playing good cop and bad cop; why don't they just rob 500 star sectors!"
The Lord of Blood Chisel snorted coldly.
"They're robbing us right now! Even now, our Demon Race's territory is constantly being lost."
The Lord Mie Jin spoke coldly.
He continued, "It seems that only the Zerg and the Human Race cannot reach an agreement. We must act again... otherwise, when the Mechanical Race Father God returns, we will once again face a three-way encirclement."
" Mie Jin, tell me, which side will we attack this time?" asked the Lord Nianjiao.
Everyone else also looked at the Lord Mie Jin.
The last time they attacked the Machine Race was on the advice of the Lord Mie Jin. They won that time and drove the Machine Race directly out of the Demon Race.
" The Zerg side is definitely out of the question... With the Zerg Queen and the supreme Supreme Treasure Palace, even if we all went, it would be pointless. We can only choose the human side." After a pause, the Lord Mie Jin continued, "The human side is divided into two groups. The group Lord of Myriad Laws is difficult to deal with, so we'll deal with the group led by the Chaos City Lord. However, this operation requires the participation of the Beast Ancestor. Since the Beast Ancestor has already agreed to return, getting him to help us hold off the Lord of Myriad Laws shouldn't be a problem! If he's not even willing to do that, then even if he returns to the Demon Race and obtains the relics of the two Demon Ancestors, he won't help us. We should think of another way out!"
"Alright, let's deal with the Human Race. Once we defeat Human Race, the Zerg won't be a problem."
Lord Nianjiao nodded and said.
"The elite of the Human Race are all in the Tilted Peak Realm and cannot return in a short time. We must win this battle."
"Although the Lord of Myriad Laws is powerful, he is only the Universe Master. If the Beast Ancestor were to intervene, he could easily stop him."
"We must act quickly, before the Human Race can react!"
The Universe Master were filled with indignation and fighting spirit, but the Lord of Sky Wolf had a bad feeling.
The confidence of the Lord of Myriad Laws doesn't seem feigned.
Can they really succeed in attacking humans?
