Chapter 637: Negotiate? Directly Make a Grand Demand

Inside the Taiyi Palace, Qin Muye held the First Emperor's yuan infant in his hand. The dormant Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor seemed to sense the presence of the yuan infant, and large amounts of flesh began to unconsciously wriggle within the palace. However, it felt like looking at flowers through a fog; even though they were right in front of him, he couldn't find them.

"Don't grope around blindly. It's in my hand," Qin Muye said.

The neglected memories of the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor began to surface, causing all the wriggling flesh to pause involuntarily.

Then he saw Qin Muye standing not far away, holding the genuine yuan infant in his hand, without any false pretenses.

"What do you want?" The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor's tone was very calm. Since the other party had come, it meant there was room for negotiation.

"All your memories," Qin Muye didn't play any tricks and directly stated his condition.

The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor didn't answer immediately. Anyone would react this way.

After all, these were memories, containing all sorts of secrets, big and small. For ordinary people, it might be fine, but the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor's memories certainly contained various heavenly secrets.

So it was impossible to just hand them over to Qin Muye.

"Change the condition. You know this is impossible," the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor said. He didn't bring up the original dragon vein creation method as a reward anymore. Since the other party now wanted more, this was no longer enough.

"If we can't agree, then forget it. I'll give the yuan infant to the World Protection Organization," Qin Muye shook his head and turned to leave. He was serious. The only useful thing from the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor was his memories. What use were the other things?

Strength? Immortality? Power?

If Qin Muye was still at the 8th stage, he might have considered it, but now he was at the 9th stage, and the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor wasn't even his match. What else could he offer?

The dragon vein creation method itself was the foundation of their deal, and the memories were Qin Muye's grand demand. After all, if you don't want it, there are plenty of others who do.

"Wait, we can negotiate further," the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor gritted his teeth.

He didn't want to gamble on Qin Muye's feigned retreat. Over the years, he had come to know Qin Muye's unpredictable and eccentric personality. The other party might really walk away.

"How do we negotiate? I only have one condition, not multiple," Qin Muye said slowly, completely ignoring the other party's gaze fixed on the yuan infant in his hand.

"Memories are impossible. Let's each take a step back. I can give you many secret techniques," the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor said immediately.

Qin Muye shook his head: "That shows a lack of sincerity. This isn't each taking a step back; it's clearly me taking two steps back, and you not only refusing to retreat but also pushing your luck."

"Either give me the memories, or I'll sell them to someone else."

Memories were the bottom line. Did the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor really think Qin Muye valued those so-called secret techniques? With the other party's memories, all of this would still be his.

He didn't look like a fool. If he followed the other party's way of trading, he would definitely be the one to lose.

So after saying this, Qin Muye turned and left. Sincerity? Who was talking about sincerity? They were doing business; if it worked, it worked; if not, it didn't. There was no room for further negotiation in a one-time deal.

He thought the other party would offer a new price, so he stayed to listen. But if it meant a loss for him, how could he bear it?

Seeing Qin Muye leave so decisively, the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor was helpless: "Fine, I'll give them to you."

At this point, there was no choice for him. So he could only reluctantly agree.

The First Emperor's yuan infant was very important to the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor. Without this yuan infant, he was incomplete, and it was precisely because of this incompleteness and flaw that he ended up in this situation.

If he had succeeded back then, the Ge Wu Mansion would have had no chance of turning the tide and becoming the World Protection Organization.

A long-lived and powerful founding emperor could truly have the potential to establish a thousand-year dynasty.

Unfortunately, there were no "ifs."

"Better to say it earlier. Hand over the goods for the payment. Memories, condense them," Qin Muye smiled and turned back.

Face? Face meant nothing to Qin Muye. As long as he could achieve his goal, he didn't care about losing face.

The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor quickly condensed his memories, which was a trivial matter for them.

The snake-shaped flesh, holding the memories, crawled toward Qin Muye, but Qin Muye didn't immediately take them. Instead, he said, "Now, there's a small problem: how do you guarantee that these memories are complete and not a trap for me?"

"Since my yuan infant is complete, you should be able to sense it. Therefore, the current exchange is not equal."

The deal was struck, so now they were in the stage of verifying the goods.

"What do you want to do?" The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor wanted to refute Qin Muye's statement, but he also realized that if Qin Muye said it, he would follow through.

"I'll do it myself." Qin Muye's tone was calm, but the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor's expression was serious.

"This is clearly a lack of sincerity on your part. You want my memories, and now you want to probe my soul?" The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor couldn't tolerate this.

Handing over his memories was already humiliating enough, and now Qin Muye wanted to directly search his soul, which would elevate the humiliation to a whole new level.

"Is that not possible? If you don't want it, you don't have to buy it." Qin Muye was sure of his position, so he was unafraid.

As the monopolist in this seller's market, Qin Muye's terms were non-negotiable unless the other party was willing to give up.

The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor didn't speak, but the large amounts of flesh wriggling in the Taiyi Palace clearly showed his internal struggle.

After all, this was the only chance.

In the end, he compromised.

"Fine!" The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor's three voices responded in unison. He wasn't worried that Qin Muye wouldn't hand over the yuan infant; the memories were the most valuable thing Qin Muye could get from him.

Dr. Long had failed to see through Qin Muye's true nature, but the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor could tell that Qin Muye was far from a good person. His usual calm demeanor was just a facade.

"Stop being so indecisive, it's not at all straightforward. Here's the yuan infant, so you don't have to worry about it later." Qin Muye threw the yuan infant over, and a giant dragon-shaped shadow in the palace lunged forward and swallowed it in one bite.

Qin Muye wasn't worried about the other party reneging, as the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor couldn't fight him. If he dared to break the deal, Qin Muye could easily retrieve the yuan infant.

Qin Muye reached out to begin copying the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor's memories. This time, there was no intense resistance or desperate struggle, and he smoothly obtained a large amount of memory.

Qin Muye was very satisfied with this. The Xuantai was much more intelligent than the yuan infant, a far cry from its initial state.

Without the yuan infant, the Xuantai would just be a mass of flesh that ate people. However, the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor used the Dragon Serpent Divine to compensate, preventing the Xuantai from being mindless.

The Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor's memories were extensive, containing not only his own but also the Dragon Serpent Divine's.

Though they were one entity, Qin Muye already had a copy of the First Emperor's memories, extracted from the yuan infant.

After the extraction, he would cross-reference the memories to check for any discrepancies.

While they were both memories, there were differences. The yuan infant's memories were complete, while the Xuantai's memories were more muscle memory.

Additionally, Qin Muye obtained fragmented memories, including those of defeated slaves who were turned into First Dragons and the common people who were consumed as nourishment for the Xuantai.

These memories were fewer, as the primary focus was on the Dragon Serpent Divine and the First Emperor, with the others serving as mere embellishments.

The former belonged to the Dragon Serpent Divine's flesh, and the latter to the Xuantai's flesh.

Honestly, it was quite remarkable that only two personalities emerged from such a chaotic mix.

But upon further thought, not going insane was a testament to their strength. In another's place, they might have become a chaotic amalgamation of personalities, driven mad and bent on world destruction.

Especially those fragmented memories, which were filled with overwhelming resentment. Many had died, and their deaths were far from pleasant.

The memories were quickly extracted, and Qin Muye stopped. He didn't immediately review them but casually took the memory-laden snake-shaped flesh from the Dragon Serpent Divine First Emperor's mouth. Free things should never be passed up.

"Alright, payment and goods are exchanged. I won't disturb your recovery." Qin Muye left with the memories.

The other party had no more value to him.

As for whether the World Protection Organization would intervene later, that was no longer Qin Muye's concern. He was only responsible for the acquisition, not the aftermath. He even considered reporting to Dr. Long to benefit from both sides.
