Chapter 677: One-hour countdown, start!
Maloney didn't know what medicine Yun Shen was selling in his gourd, but since he gave him 24 hours, it proved that Yun Shen would not act rashly within this time.
As long as there is room for negotiation, that's fine. They were afraid that Yun Shen wouldn't even give them a chance to negotiate.
Maloney: "I will return to the Main World immediately."
Yun Shen: "Then I'll return too. But I'll be back relatively early, and I hope Mr. Maloney can return early to tell me how the progress is."
After speaking, Yun Shen adjusted his online status to "invisible" on the panel, appearing offline to outsiders.
It looked as if Yun Shen had already returned to the Main World.
But in reality, the only person who returned to the Main World was Wu Xiangning.
"It's a pity that I can't use the lords of these countries to farm Soul Crystals for the time being."
Yun Shen felt a bit regretful about this.
However, pork is only delicious when it's fattened up. I've already eaten so much roast suckling pig; I can't eat it all at once.
If the Divine Clan takes the racial taboo next year, then my identity really won't be able to be hidden.
When the time comes to attack the lords of these countries again, no one will be able to stop me if I go all out.
Maloney's efficiency was indeed very high, and the news was quickly reported to the Lighthouse Country officials.
At the same time, lords from a very few other countries also returned to the Main World and reported this news immediately.
Human beings have a full year of resource buffs in the 6666th layer of the Myriad Races Battlefield this year, and their development speed will far exceed previous years. Therefore, all countries attach great importance to this year's lords, hoping to cultivate more powerful lords.
Especially since the Divine Clan is also willing to secretly fund this batch of lords this year, these countries will naturally be very attentive.
Don't look at how hostile they are to Yun Shen right now; even if they had the strength to kill Yun Shen immediately, it's not certain they would be willing to do so.
This is just like applying for funding from above in reality; you have to make the leaders feel that what they are asking you to do is very expensive before they can approve one budget after another.
If the task were completed all at once, you wouldn't be able to ask for funding at all, and even the parts you haven't spent yet might be taken back.
Countries like the Lighthouse understand this well. Seeing that they can sign a peace agreement with Yun Shen for more than seven months, they are naturally happy to do so.
It's also easy to explain to the Divine Clan; just say they are no match for Yun Shen in the short term.
Even if the Divine Clan guessed their inner thoughts, they wouldn't care, because Yun Shen is currently absolutely invincible in the surrounding area.
Attacking at this time is purely sending experience to Yun Shen; even the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather wasn't this absurd and brainless.
Yun Shen also controlled Wu Xiangning's body and took the initiative to contact Fan Qiuyan, asking her to prepare for the signing of the peace agreement.
So for Yun Shen's sake, representatives of all countries held a meeting at the Blue Star Joint Council specifically to discuss this meeting.
Considering that Yun Shen only gave 24 hours, there was very, very little haggling at the meeting.
It wasn't just the Dragon Country and some hostile countries that signed the peace agreement; even countries on good terms with the Dragon Country joined the ranks of peace.
There's no help for it; if everyone joins and you don't, it will inevitably seem out of place and make you more likely to become a target for some warlike people.
However, there is a very special clause in this agreement.
Simply put, if any country's lord violates the agreement, not only will they need to pay compensation, but Yun Shen will also select ten lords from that country to invade.
If he has already killed everyone in the county, he will go to the neighboring county to find them until he finds them.
A very overbearing clause, which can be considered the exclusive treatment of the Dragon Country; no other country has it.
But even so, these countries can only pinch their noses and endure it.
The situation is stronger than the people; besides agreeing and enduring, what else can they do?
At this moment, the person representing the Dragon Country in the Blue Star Joint Council is Fan Qiuyan.
Seeing Fan Qiuyan hesitating to sign her name, everyone's heart tightened. Could it be that she still wants to stir up some trouble?
"General Fan, why don't you sign? Are there any clauses you want to add?"
The representative of the Lighthouse Country tried his best to appear amiable.
As a country controlled by capital, he naturally knows what this peace agreement means.
As long as Fan Qiuyan can sign it, some of their countries will receive secret funding from the Divine Clan for more than seven months.
And among these countries, the Lighthouse Country can be considered the strongest, so the funding it can receive is naturally the most.
