Chapter 234: The Terms of Peace are Simple
Chapter 234: The Terms of Peace are Simple
"Peace talks?"
Qi Yuan was also taken aback.
The Demon Deity had actually sent a Commander to negotiate.
"Tell me, how do you propose we make peace?"
Currently, the gods under his command were still digesting and absorbing the Deity Observation Technique.
There was no rush.
"The Mundane Heart World is a Primordial World, and Supreme Lord should know the extraordinary nature of the Primordial World!"
"The Primordial World is a world formed at the beginning of creation.
The beings in this world resemble humans but are actually different.
They are not of our human race, and their hearts must be different.
Since Supreme Lord has awakened to your past life as Su Hui, you are not a Primordial being. Why bother getting entangled with these different beings? The human race and the Primordial beings are naturally enemies."
A flash of killing intent appeared in Qi Qi's eyes. "We aren't human? Who are you calling human?"
He had a feeling that if this woman took action, he would have no chance of survival.
He was shocked, another Mythical figure? Regarding the Origin Venerable's past life identity, he had many speculations.
Definitely a top-notch powerhouse.
"Distinguishing Primordial beings from humans, demons, and even the demon race is simple.
Primordial beings are born from Primordial Chaos, and within their bodies, there is a trace of Primordial Chaos aura.
This trace of Primordial Chaos aura represents infinite possibilities.
Because of this Primordial Chaos aura, Primordial beings can transform into demons, monsters, humans, and even evil beings.
These Primordial demons and monsters bring calamity to all living beings, and everyone wants to exterminate them.
In the Upper Realm, we are even more opposed to these Primordial demons and monsters!
If you want to determine whether a disguised cultivator is a Primordial being, it's simple.
In this world, only Primordial beings possess a trace of Primordial Chaos aura, allowing them to cultivate the Deity Observation Technique."
The Primordial beings in the Primordial World represented infinite possibilities.
They resembled humans and demons in appearance, but they believed themselves to be human.
In reality, they were not.
Because they possess a trace of Primordial Chaos aura, Primordial beings can cultivate the Deity Observation Technique, rapidly enhancing their strength and easily falling under the influence of some foreign evil deities.
Ordinary cultivators view Primordial beings as heretics, and almost everyone wants to suppress them.
After all, it might take tens of thousands of years for a Heaven's Pride cultivator to break through and enter the Dark Deity Realm.
Primordial beings, on the other hand, can enter the Dark Deity Realm overnight.
Almost all cultivators are extremely jealous and wary of Primordial beings.
However, all cultivators have completely different thoughts about the Primordial World.
It's not wariness but covetousness.
This is because the Primordial World is particularly special, capable of creating countless Primordial beings.
For a Mythical figure who has reached the seventh step of Heaven Treading, cultivating a following is necessary to enter the Yang Deity Realm.
The more Dark Deities loyal to the Divine Realm, the greater the potential, the stronger the power, and the greater the potential when entering the Yang Deity Realm.
Therefore, if one controls a Primordial World, a Myth can quickly accumulate power and enter the Yang Deity Realm, and... it won't be an ordinary Yang Deity.
For a Myth, the Primordial World is crucial, and the same is true for a Yang Deity.
But he knows that a complete Primordial World can elevate a Yang Deity's realm to a higher level.
How terrifying is that!
That's a Yang Deity!
In an ordinary world, a Yang Deity can destroy it with a mere wave of their hand.
Therefore, if the Primordial World can help a Yang Deity reach a higher level, how tempting is that? Moreover, the Primordial World is isolated, not connected to the Great Realm. Primordial beings cannot become Yang Deities.
The strongest in this world is just a Myth, which is indeed a delicacy for a Yang Deity.
However, a Primordial World that has been connected to the Great Realm for a long time is something that every Yang Deity fears immensely.
Who knows how many Primordial beings are growing there...
"Interesting."
Since only Primordial beings can cultivate the Deity Observation Technique, what does that make him? Can he even... cultivate the Three Pure Ones?
"Supreme Lord's origins are mysterious, and now, because of the Primordial World, you are trapped in the Mythical realm.
My master once said that he wishes to befriend Supreme Lord and share the Primordial World with you.
Supreme Lord's people can all enter Supreme Lord's Divine Realm, and Supreme Lord can take them away. Once they pledge their loyalty to these Primordial beings, Supreme Lord can leave the Mundane Heart World and enter the Yang Deity Realm, and it won't be an ordinary Yang Deity."
"So, I can take my people and leave the Mundane Heart World?" Qi Yuan asked with a mischievous smile.
"If Supreme Lord agrees to the peace talks, your people will belong to Supreme Lord, and the Primordial World will belong to my master.
Once Supreme Lord leaves the Primordial World, you can enter the Yang Deity Realm, and it won't be an ordinary Yang Deity."
These peace talks were simple. Blood Sun Great Sage wanted the Primordial World, and the Primordial beings could give it to Qi Yuan.
However, she wouldn't let Qi Yuan leave now, because once he left this world, he could enter the Yang Deity Realm.
So, she had to wait until he finished devouring the Primordial World, whether it was a real or fake release, was yet to be determined.
"Not sincere enough." Qi Yuan shook his head. "I want both the people and the world..."
Outside the Mundane Heart World, there were two Yang Deities standing guard.
No matter how mysterious the Origin Venerable's origins were, he was currently stuck at the seventh step of Heaven Treading and couldn't enter the Yang Deity Realm.
"My demands are not excessive at all," Qi Yuan said.
His task was to protect Qing Shui Village, and he had already engaged in battle with the Demonic Deity. Having slain numerous Demonic Deity followers, he couldn't believe they would genuinely spare him.
Qi Yuan considered himself a gentleman, but even if he was one, he couldn't forgive the Black Mountain Sect for their coercion and schemes. Instead, he courageously wielded his kitchen knife and annihilated the Black Mountain Sect.
The Demonic Deity was not a gentleman; their thoughts were undoubtedly narrow-minded. After killing so many of their followers, they were now pretending to comply while secretly plotting against him.
"In the midst of battle, messengers are not harmed. Go back and convey this to your master:
Negotiating a truce is simple. I can offer them the land of the Mundane Heart World, but I have one condition." Qi Yuan spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wu Kui thought that Origin Venerable was finally relenting. He had assumed that the previous statement about sharing land and people was just a scare tactic.
It was like wanting to open a window but announcing the removal of the roof beforehand.
Origin Venerable was merely striving for greater benefits.
"Please state your condition, and I will faithfully convey it to my master!"
"Your master, along with all the Demonic Deities, must apologize and make amends to me, soothing my wounded heart. Then, they must all commit suicide as an act of apology."
"If you all die, I can give the Mundane Heart World to you as your burial ground. What do you think? The land is yours, and the people are mine, right?"
Qi Yuan believed he was truly a genius. He quickly devised a proposal that both sides could easily accept, and this plan also eliminated any potential worries.
Cold sweat appeared on Wu Kui's forehead.
Commit suicide as an apology?
This Origin Venerable... he dares to think it!
This isn't a negotiation; it's a blatant provocation! But even so, Wu Kui didn't dare to refute or even curse; instead, he struggled to say, "I will faithfully convey these words to my master."
Qi Yuan smiled broadly, "No wonder a senior said that a good plan is born from discussion. This proposal is perfect; you should hurry back and faithfully convey it to your master. I'm sure they will be thrilled to hear it."
Wu Kui, the army leader, dared not speak further. He forced a smile, bid farewell, and silently left. He didn't dare to stay any longer.
Beside them, Qi Qi stepped forward, her eyes filled with confusion. "Foster father, why didn't you pretend to agree to their truce and buy some time?"
For Qi Qi, time was the most precious resource for everyone in the Mundane Heart World.
With enough time, the four thousand Dark Deities under Foster Father's command could all grow to a terrifying level.
At that point, turning against the Demonic Deity would give them a greater advantage.
"Why pretend to agree? Didn't I already propose a condition?" Qi Yuan asked earnestly.
He had already presented a new truce condition, and the content was quite comprehensive.
Qi Qi was speechless.
Was this a condition?
Who negotiates like this?
"Foster father, they will never agree to your condition."
"The Great Dao has fifty paths, and Heaven's derivation has forty-nine. One can escape through any one of them."
In this world, nothing is absolute. What if, by some chance, their master gets kicked by a donkey and agrees to the truce? A sage once said, 'Do not neglect small acts of goodness, nor commit small acts of evil.' No matter how small the probability, we must not give up. What if?" Qi Yuan spoke earnestly.
He felt that after contemplating the Three Pure Ones, his mind had become more agile, and his speech more logical.
Every word he uttered was a profound truth.
Qi Qi fell silent, unable to respond.
News of the Demonic Deity sending a messenger to negotiate a truce quickly spread throughout Flying Desolation City.
The conversation between Origin Venerable and the Demonic Deity army leader was also broadcast, reaching the ears of many commoners and ordinary cultivators.
These commoners and cultivators had various thoughts.
"The Myth Plan we've been pursuing is nothing compared to the Demonic Deity's truce condition!"
"If the Venerable agrees, the Mundane Heart World can save a million lives!"
"How many lives can the Myth Plan save?"
After contemplating Erlang Shen's Shizhong Mountain for the second time, hearing Qi Yuan's answer didn't surprise him.
"A true Venerable is one who refuses."
At that moment, Ling Zhong Great Venerable, headless, stood below Qi Yuan, his chest cavity revealing two open eyes, exuding extraordinary dignity.
In his eyes, a myriad of complex emotions flashed.
After about a hundred breaths, Ling Zhong Great Venerable stood before Qi Yuan.
He looked at Origin Venerable and slowly spoke, "Venerable... Before the Heavenly Pillar breaks, Gluttonyless Holy Mother once said that in the future, if someone can save the Mundane Heart World, give this to them."
Qi Yuan, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened them, revealing a hint of surprise.
He remembered Wu Shi, curled up with a big fish at the pond's edge, and also recalled the Gluttonyless Holy Mother he had met beneath the Heavenly Pillar, whose eyes held a complex and peculiar expression.
A specially made storage pouch appeared before Qi Yuan.
Ling Zhong Great Venerable's figure disappeared, leaving Qi Yuan alone in the entire mansion.
With a hint of nostalgia and curiosity, Qi Yuan opened the storage pouch.
Instantly, a faint fragrance wafted out.
Inside the storage pouch were various fish—steamed, grilled, and pickled.
These fish, by their appearance, were the ones Qi Yuan had made during his second meeting with her.
She... didn't eat? He couldn't help but recall Wu Shi at the pond's edge, holding a half-eaten fish and asking him, "Do you... want to eat?"
