Chapter 1203 - Why Negotiate When You Can Seize Something?
Chapter 1203: Why Negotiate When You Can Seize Something?
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had always disliked showing emotion. Some people even said that he always had the same expression in spite of everything.
However, the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor now seemed flustered.
“Divine Ancestor, what happened?” Luo Yunyang roughly knew why the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was this way, but he still asked him anyway.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor cupped his fists before speaking. “Human Ruler, I’ve failed to complete this task. The Four-Sky Race…”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor’s expression became even more distorted when he mentioned the Four-Sky Race. “The Four-Sky Race will not lend us the Sky Thunder Pool!” He humphed.
Luo Yunyang nodded his head, “What does the Divine Ancestor think we should do if they are not willing to lend it to us? Forget about it?”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor took a deep breath and replied, “Human Ruler, the Four-Sky Race isn’t a force to be reckoned with. However, although they don’t have Taiyi Yuan Venerates, they will not be easily defeated by Taiyi Yuan Venerates with the Sky Thunder Pool in their possession. Furthermore, the Four-Sky Race is an ally of ours.”
Luo Yunyang stood up from his throne. “But the Origin Intent must be destroyed. You should also have sensed it, Divine Ancestor. Now, everything is in chaos, including the 36 Great Cosmoses and the territories of the Mysterious Underworld Race. There isn’t much time left for the Origin Intent.”
“I told the Four-Sky Race about the current situation, and the Patriarchs of the Four-Sky Race also backed me up.” The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor sighed and added, “Unfortunately, their elders are really abominable!”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor spoke resentfully.
He had considered taking the Sky Thunder Pool with force, but because the Four-Sky Race was not exactly weak and he also had some ties to the Patriarchs of the Four-Sky Race, he wasn’t really willing to fall out with them.
Luo Yunyang looked at the embarrassed expression on the face of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor and smirked. “The Four-Sky Race really doesn’t know its limits.”
“When the Great Era Calamity descends, it will not give a damn about the Four-Sky Race!”
After he said that, Luo Yunyang made a decision. “Divine Ancestor, I will go to the Four-Sky Race with you. I believe they will certainly lend it to us.”
The Sky Spirit Monarch had always stood by Luo Yunyang’s side, almost becoming his bodyguard. After hearing that Luo Yunyang was going over personally, he said respectfully, “Your Majesty, I can take a trip there on your behalf.”
Luo Yunyang naturally knew what sort of existence the Sky Spirit Monarch was. He also knew that this would be an easy task for the Sky Spirit Monarch.
However, it was likely that the Four-Sky Race would be decimated if the Sky Spirit Monarch were to go on his behalf.
Although Luo Yunyang was not happy with the Four-Sky Race, who would not hand over the Thunder Sky Pool, he was not willing to cause bloodshed in that race just over a treasure.
Although he could do it, he did not want to.
“I happen to be free, so I will go to the Four-Sky Race with the Divine Ancestor!” Luo Yunyang smiled at the Sky Spirit Monarch and said, “You will come with me.”
When the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor heard the Sky Spirit Monarch’s words, his heart shuddered. Although he was pissed with the elders of the Four-Sky Race, he knew exactly what the Sky Spirit Monarch could do.
He was already thinking of ways to dissuade Luo Yunyang when the Sky Spirit Monarch requested to head over. Fortunately, Luo Yunyang knew what would happen if he allowed the Sky Spirit Monarch to go alone and prevented it from happening.
The Four-Sky Race was well-versed in the power of thunder, so the place where they lived was within stars formed by the power of lightning and thunder. Although these stars also had other laws, these other laws were mostly suppressed by thunder laws.
“Your Majesty, this is the territory of the Four-Sky Race, the Thundercloud Great Cosmos!” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor said. “I once traveled to the Four-Sky Race and have ties to the head of the race. Thanks to the head of the Four-Sky Race, I was allowed to cultivate in the Thunder Ocean for a hundred years, which was indeed a great kindness.”
Although the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was explaining the details of the Four-Sky Race to Luo Yunyang, his intention was rather obvious: He was pleading with Luo Yunyang, telling him that the Four-Sky Race had a good relationship with him and it would be best not to go to war with them.
Luo Yunyang chuckled lightly. “The Divine Ancestor has feelings for his old friends. Some things are difficult to express clearly, causing those who only care about immediate interests to get blinded by their petty thoughts. I came here to reason with them.”
The word “reason” made the frown on the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor deepen. He did not believe that Luo Yunyang would have the patience to reason with them.
If reasoning could work, the Four-Sky Race would have handed over the Sky Thunder Pool because of their friendship with him.
“Greetings, Divine Ancestor!” A strike of lightning shot out of the Thundercloud Great Cosmos before suddenly turning into a figure with a purple body, four heads, and six arms that was standing at 10 meters tall with a pair of wings on his back.
The cultivation base of this figure was already at the peak of the Universe Grade!
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor nodded in acknowledgment and said, “Zhe Bulao, I want to meet your Chief.”
“Divine Ancestor, our Chef is training in seclusion. It will take 100 years if you want to see him.” The martialist from the Four-Sky Race, who was known as Zhe Bulao, was still being respectful to the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor on the surface.
However, his tone was unwavering.
How could the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor not know that the Chief of the Four-Sky Race was clearly using diversion tactics to avoid a meeting?
“I must see your patriarch. This is related to the survival of the entire realm!” the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor said sternly and glared at Zhe Bulao.
Given his insignificant cultivation, Zhe Bulao had no chance of resisting the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor. Although the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor did not do anything to suppress him, his heart still trembled in fear.
“Divine Ancestor, I really have no say in this. How about you wait for a moment and allow me to report this matter to the elders before giving you an answer?” Zhe Bulao said while trembling.
Luo Yunyang didn’t say anything as he merely observed what happened indifferently. Although his prestige among the Human Race had surpassed that of the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, what the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had accumulated over the years could not be underestimated.
Luo Yunyang absolutely had to obtain the Thunder Sky Pool no matter what the Four-Sky Race said. After all, this concerned everyone’s fate.
A quarter of an hour passed, but there was still no response from the Four-Sky Race. The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor now had a grim look on his face.
The more indifferently the Four-Sky Race treated them, the more face the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor would lose in front of Luo Yunyang.
Although the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor had realized that Luo Yunyang was the best leader for the Human Race, he still found this unfair in his heart.
While he was willing to submit to Luo Yunyang, he also hoped that he could keep his prestige.
“Why is it taking your elders so long to reply?” The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor snapped at Zhe Bulao when he saw the Sky Spirit Monarch glance over at him.
Upon seeing the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, who had always been polite and soft-spoken in the past, snap sternly, Zhe Bulao shuddered.
Only now did he understand how imposing the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor was and how terrifying he could be. He also noticed the massive gulf between them.
“Divine Ancestor, the elders are…”
As he hummed and stammered, unable to give a valid reason, Luo Yunyang turned to look at the Sky Spirit Monarch and said, “Sky Spirit Monarch, open a passage for me.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” When had anyone given an ancient almighty like the Sky Spirit Monarch the cold shoulder before?
Upon hearing Luo Yunyang’s command, he acknowledged it immediately and drew his sword before cleaving at the Great Cosmos filled with thunder nomological laws.
Zhe Bulao was shaking uncontrollably while the Sky Spirit Monarch drew his sword. He wanted to stop shaking but realized that he could not control himself at all.
He couldn’t even move an inch, let alone stop the Sky Spirit Monarch.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor didn’t stop the Sky Spirit Monarch. Firstly, he knew that the Sky Spirit Monarch’s cultivation was through the roof and he wouldn’t necessarily be able to stop him even if he wanted to. Secondly, he was also furious about the cold treatment of the Four-Sky Race.
Sword-light swept across, shattering the countless thunder nomological laws while many more planets and meteorites were deduced to ashes wherever the sword-light could reach.
A purple sun that was coincidentally in the path of the sword-light and the Sky Spirit Monarch was severed in two.
Zhe Bulao saw the foundation of the Great Cosmos that belonged to his Four-Sky Race get severed into two wherever the sword-light went.
He was enraged by the situation, but his anger turned into fear eventually.
He felt fear for the Sky Spirit Monarch and helplessness against the Sky Spirit Monarch’s might.
“Which supreme being has descended? Please forgive the Four-Sky Race for not coming out to welcome you!” An enthusiastic voice came from the Thundercloud Great Cosmos after a minute.
This voice was accompanied by dozens of Four-Sky Race powerhouses that started flying over.
Although they didn’t seem pleased, they still suppressed their rage because they had realized after seeing the sword-light that the person who had unleashed the sword strike was someone they could not offend.
Luo Yunyang did not speak. Instead, he glanced at the Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, gesturing to him to speak and deal with the situation.
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor wished he could strangle the old farts of the Four-Sky Race. They had ignored him but acted cordially in front of the Sky Spirit Monarch.
“This is His Majesty the Human Ruler of the Human Race. This time…” The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor introduced Luo Yunyang.
However, before he had finished speaking, a powerhouse from the Four-Sky Race interrupted him. “Human Race’s Divine Ancestor, the Four-Sky Race has always regarded you as a friend. Is this how you treat the Four-Sky Race?”
The Human Race’s Divine Ancestor’s expression darkened. Just as he was about to speak again, the Sky Spirit Monarch turned to glare at the powerhouses of the Four-Sky Race.
