Chapter 214

Bai Yuan and the God of Angels headed toward the predetermined direction.

Their flight speed was not fast, but neither was it slow.

It was roughly seven layers at full speed.

However, at this moment, both of their hearts were uneasy.

After all, they were going to meet a being of Divine King level.

An existence that could crush them with a single finger!

If such a powerful being did not want to negotiate, or if the talks broke down, they would likely be killed on the spot, with no chance to resist.

Of course, Bai Yuan came with an avatar.

Although they were afraid, it wasn't that extreme.

What Bai Yuan feared was that even after they killed his karmic avatar, it wouldn't be enough; if the negotiations failed, they would think of killing everyone related to him.

Although this possibility is small, it still exists.

Especially since Bai Yuan had no contact with those people and had no idea whether among them there were individuals with especially strong killing intent.

As for bringing Xiao Xun'er to the negotiations,

Bai Yuan did not have that idea.

Because negotiations require equal strength.

The Divine Realm and those coming from the Fighting Qi Continent negotiate.

This is entirely because their strengths are roughly equal.

If they really fought, even if the Five Great Divine Kings brought the Divine Realm, at most they could achieve a victory where the Five Great Divine Kings themselves remain unharmed.

As for the remaining first-, second-, third-grade gods and divine officials, exactly how many would die is completely unknown.

This would be an absolute pyrrhic victory for the Divine Realm.

Therefore they chose to continue negotiating.

As for peaceful coexistence, the Divine Realm would indeed like that.

But only the gods know what this group of unstable factors will do after gaining a foothold in this world, and whether they will threaten them.

Therefore, in fact, there are only two ways to resolve this.

One is to eliminate them.

The other is to recruit them.

Thus, under their noses,

they basically cannot pull any tricks.

As for Bai Yuan bringing Xiao Xun'er to the negotiations,

In this situation, the best outcome would be that all thirteen of them are utterly loyal to the Ancient Clan, die-hard loyalists, and upon seeing Xiao Xun'er they would bow and pay homage.

But Bai Yuan feels this possibility is not very high.

After all, even if they were previously extremely loyal to the Ancient Clan,

but once they arrive in a world where no one can restrain them,

and furthermore they cannot return for a lifetime.

The Ancient Clan chieftain could not possibly, just for his daughter, abandon the Fighting Qi World and come to this world without reservation.

One can only say it's hard for them not to develop second thoughts.

After all, this is a typical case of strong vassal and weak lord.

In such a situation, if Bai Yuan were to go with Xiao Xun'er,

If things go somewhat better, the strongest among them would seize Xiao Xun'er and use the tactic of holding the emperor hostage to command the princes.

Using Xiao Xun'er's name to make the others submit.

Then assist him in doing things.

If things go worse, they would all be killed!

This would be equivalent to crowning themselves king in this world.

Anyway, the Ancient Clan chieftain could not possibly control them.

Of course, this possibility is also not very high.

After all, these people have not been in the Dou Luo Continent world for long.

It is not so easy to erase the deep-seated reverence and loyalty in their hearts.

Therefore, the greatest likelihood is that they would not take Bai Yuan seriously, forcibly take Xiao Xun'er, and then, for her sake, let him go.

This would be a huge loss for Bai Yuan.

After all, this is one of the few disciples of Bai Yuan who possesses an advanced cultivation method; handing Xiao Xun'er over to a group that cultivates fighting qi for instruction, how could her cultivation be quickly improved?

Especially as time passes.

Their loyal subjects will certainly disappear as well.

On the contrary, it will definitely evolve into the second scenario.

Without further thought, Bai Yuan's thoughts returned to reality.

He looked at the God of Angels and said, "Divine Realm, how do you plan to negotiate with the otherworldly Divine King? You won't just break down the talks, will you?"

The God of Angels also had no confidence in her heart.

She replied, "The direction of negotiation is simple: one is to let them join the Divine Realm, the other is to eliminate them, which amounts to coercion and inducement."

Bai Yuan made a strange expression and said, "God of Angels, you say coercion and inducement? What benefit does the Divine Realm give them? Not joining the Divine Realm, having a way to survive—that would be their benefit, right?"

Coercion and inducement.

To be honest, Bai Yuan only heard coercion from the God of Angels' words—that is, if you don't agree, you'll be killed—and completely failed to hear any inducement.

If the inducement merely gives them a way to survive.

Bai Yuan felt that there was no need to continue this negotiation.

In any case, it can almost be said that success in the negotiation is impossible.

After all, if you don't agree, they'll kill you.

Where is this called a negotiation?

This is clearly a naked threat.

In this situation, before the true clash of arms decides the outcome, before you hold your blade to the opponent's neck, to succeed in negotiation would be nothing short of miraculous.

The God of Angels listened, somewhat speechless, and said: "Bai Yuan, the benefit the Divine Realm gives is certainly not this; are you treating the Divine King Sir as a fool? In such a situation, how could it not come to a fight?"

"Then what benefit does your Divine Realm give?" Bai Yuan became interested.

The God of Angels said: "The benefit our Divine Realm gives is to let one of the three join the Divine Realm Committee, becoming one of its highest decision-makers."

Bai Yuan's eyes flickered.

He could only say that this benefit is truly great.

Upon going over, he would stand on equal footing with the Five Great Divine Kings.

However, Bai Yuan instantly understood the thoughts of the Five Great Divine Kings.

Because these five old fogeys not only want the three Divine Kings from another realm to join the Divine Realm, they also want to strengthen the Divine Realm's power.

They also want to split these three fellows.

Three Divine Kings, yet only one position is given.

Isn't this just letting them create conflict again?

Even if one of them is highly respected.

But how could it be possible to make the other two otherworldly Divine Kings willingly submit and be one rank lower than the other Divine Kings?

Faced with this situation, unless they three are extremely united, they will likely be split apart by the Divine Realm.

As for negotiation failure, the worst case is simply adding another position; anyway, when the Five Great Divine Kings proposed this plan, it was impossible for them to give three positions.

If they insist on three, then the only option is to fight.

No further wild speculation about the outcome.

Bai Yuan hurried along with the God of Angels.

As for worrying that the God of Angels' successful negotiation would strengthen the Divine Realm?

Bai Yuan completely lacks any such worry.

After all, if he reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

He could set up the complete version of the Five Elements Grand Formation.

Even if the Divine Realm had ten times more Divine Kings, it would be meaningless.

But if he fails to break through before the Divine King war,

then the Divine Realm's Five Great Divine Kings would be enough to send Bai Yuan and company away.

Whether there are more or fewer of the three from the Dou Qi World, it doesn't matter much.

After all, Gu Yue Na can only contend with one Divine King.

Mu Junwu, who possesses four formation bases, can also only contend with one.

"Hope the experiment succeeds." Bai Yuan murmured to himself.

But immediately afterward, his expression turned strange.

"What's wrong with you?" the God of Angels asked.

Bai Yuan said: "The otherworldly Divine Kings have left; each of the three took several First-Class Gods and went in different directions."
