Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1144: Myriad Assembly In Human Realm (3)
Chapter 1144: Myriad Assembly In Human Realm (3)
A devil king sneered and said, "How can a minor realm nurture a true genius? It's not like we're killing every multiple character cultivator. We only target Ye Batian's line. That line has offended too many people. We're not cruel enough to exterminate the entire multiple character faction."
They were all speaking with a mocking tone. Did the humans think that they were unaware of those so-called secret multiple character cultivators?
How ridiculous.
The humans could never imagine how much the myriad races had spread their influences in the human race. The humans could hide their multiple character cultivators in the minor realms. But these geniuses required resources and guidance, right?
More importantly, they also needed to form their character techniques, right? Excluding Great Xia's character stele, the major races probably knew more about the character steles of humanity than humanity itself.
Thus, it wouldn't be hard for the major races to notice that some numbers weren't adding up when some character techniques vanished from these steles. It was clear the human race was producing some multiple character cultivators in secret.
But the myriad races only feared Ye Batian's line, not the entire multiple character faction. Ye Batian's line was the only line that mattered.
As for the other multiple character cultivators, they were of no concern. If it was so easy to become an Invincible, someone from the multiple character faction would have done so long ago. Over so many years, Ye Batian, or Great Xia's multiple character faction, had shown the potential to actually achieve that.
That was also why Great Xia suffered so much suppression. That was also why that line of multiple character faction had declined to the point it barely had any members.
Just look at how things were going in Great Ming. They had dozens of members in their multiple character faction. Hu Xiansheng was a late-stage Mountainsea from the multiple character faction. But nobody bothered to even suppress him. The human Invincibles felt quite helpless to have their secret mentioned so casually.
Great Qin King appeared calm. This was never supposed to be something the myriad races could never discover. However, he was still quite surprised at how deeply the myriad races had infiltrated the human race. They had just decided to let those secret geniuses out not long ago, yet the myriad races were already aware of that.
He remembered that when they spoke about this matter before, only Invincibles were present.
Of course, the logistics of moving those secret geniuses out of minor realms would be handled by some other people, so the Invincibles weren't the only ones who could leak the information. Or perhaps the minor realms themselves had already been infiltrated as well. There was also a possibility that this was simply the information they had purchased from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.
Great Qin King started thinking about it. They were right. Even if the humans refused, their people would simply sneak into the Human Realm instead. If the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion could do it, these major races could do it as well. If the humans accepted the proposal, they could at least monitor those visitors somewhat.
The myriad races seemed really interested in the so-called Nanyuan ruin. There were many reasons for that. Su Yu was one such reason. The location of Nanyuan was also one of the reasons.
After a long while, Great Qin King replied, "We can agree. But we can't guarantee their safety."
Someone laughed and said, "Sure. But we hope that no Invincible will make a move against them. Or to be precise, we don't want to see cases of seniors bullying juniors. Human cultivators below a hundred years old are free to act against them. If they die, they die."
Confidence.
And arrogance.
Any human younger than a hundred years old were free to attack.
Great Qin King coldly said, "Sure. I'll call Xia Longwu back. He's quite young as well. I believe he will be more than happy to play around with your juniors."
"..."
Silence descended.
Holy shit!
They had nearly forgotten about that monster.
Which of their geniuses could contend against Xia Longwu?
For Xia Longwu, fighting them was the same as fighting children.
If Xia Longwu was allowed to participate, none of their geniuses would survive.
An awkward silence descended. They didn't know what to say. After a while, an immortal king laughed, "Great Qin King is very humorous. Xia Longwu has yet to affirm his dao, but he is already known as the Carnage King. Why should he waste his time fighting children?"
Stop messing around.
They were in the middle of a negotiation. What even was the point of this if Xia Longwu was allowed to participate?
Great Xia King spoke coldly, "You wish to enter Nanyuan? That's Great Xia's territory. Is that a place you can go as you wish? Have you asked for my permission? Have you asked my blade about this?"
The myriad race Invincibles cursed inwardly. One of them said, "There is no need for you to act like this, Great Xia King. There are already plenty of myriad race geniuses in Great Xia. Xia Longwu is on the verge of dao affirmation. Wouldn't it be nice if he could affirm his dao peacefully?"
That was essentially a threat. If the humans agreed to talk about this, they would be willing to talk about Xia Longwu's dao affirmation as well. If not, Xia Longwu could forget about his dao affirmation.
With an unsightly expression, Great Xia King said, "Don't bother. Everyone has been threatening me with this. Even if we agree, would you really let Longwu off? My son is too naive. Wan Tiansheng is too naive as well. They believe that taking a step back will earn your favor. How ridiculous. Would you? I highly doubt it."
Once again, the Invincibles sank into silence. After a moment, an immortal king smiled and said, "Great Xia King, Xia Longwu's dao affirmation is actually a good thing. The other races might not want to see that happen, but the immortal race will definitely be happy to see that happen."
How fake.
A lot of people cursed inwardly again. The immortals were a bunch of hypocrites. Would the immortals really allow him to affirm his dao?
Nonsense.
A different Invincible said, "A slot to enter Nanyuan for a slot to enter the Luminous Domain Mansion. This is a fair trade for the human race."
It wasn't like they were asking for free entrance. Why were the humans being stubborn?
After thinking about it, Great Qin King said, "Sure. But nobody will guarantee their safety. I can only promise that the experts of the two holy lands at the Sunmoon Realm and above won't lay a hand on them. One slot for one slot, but for each Sunmoon, we want two slots. And that is only applicable for early-stage Sunmoons. For each middle-stage Sunmoon, we want four slots. For each late-stage Sunmoon, eight slots."
Since they wanted to enter, so be it.
But they had to pay for it.
Great Qin King added, "These slots do not include our usual slots. For this mansion opening, we want six hundred slots in total."
Some sank into silence, and some sneered.
What a beautiful dream.
A dragon spoke, "The eastern side has always been shared between the dragons and humans. There are only 810 slots there. If the humans are given 600 slots, are we supposed to settle with only 210 slots?"
Great Qin King replied coldly, "If it wasn't for the divines, devils, and the other races, the dragon race would never be able to get that many slots. Use your brain. Do you really think we can't do anything to you? If the dragons wish to become the vanguard in the war against humanity, so be it. You are free to give it a try. I promise you that before the human race is exterminated, we will first wipe the dragon race out."
Those words were accompanied by an extremely intense killing intent.
The dragon blanked out as his heart thumped nervously. Great Qin King! Number one expert of humanity!
"Hmph!" Great Qin King snorted and continued, "I'm not even asking for much. I am willing to take a step back and accept only five hundred slots, but that is our limit. Do not try to haggle anymore. If you dragons are unhappy about that, you are free to fight us for more. Do not take our patience as cowardice."
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
In the past, the eastern slots had always been shared between the humans, dragons, and some other demonic beasts.
The dragon was slightly intimidated as he said, "Five hundred for humans and the rest for all of us..."
"Yes." Great Qin King said indifferently, "If you dragons are capable enough, you can take all the remaining slots for yourself. Since you don't even fear us, why do you fear the ancient races and all those minor races? Or perhaps you believe that we humans are weaker than them?"
Silence descended.
The dragon king sank into thought. Shortly after, someone else laughed and said, "Great Qin King, there is no need for that. We intend to send a lot of people into the Human Realm. You will definitely receive a lot of slots. Why don't we all take a step back? The humans can get four hundred slots while the other races can take a hundred slots each. With a fairer distribution, you won't anger all the minor races."
They had to slightly respect the minor races, right? Naturally, the fairness advocated here did not apply to the divines, devils, and immortals. This so-called fairness was only for humanity to enjoy.
Great Qin King's eyes turned cold. A divine king smiled, "Great Qin King, that's a lot. This time, each race intends to send a hundred geniuses into the Human Realm. They might also be accompanied by their dao protectors. According to this agreement, all three of us will allocate two or three hundred slots to you humans. Who knows? You might even end up with more slots than us."
"That's right. Great Qin King, the Luminous Domain Mansion offers far more than Nanyuan. Why must the human race provoke the myriad races so?"
Great Qin King said, "Don't waste my time with that bullshit. Will the divines and devils share the opportunities in your realms with us?"
"Haha...if you're interested, you are free to send some human geniuses to our realms as well."
A devil king laughed. Sure. The humans were welcomed. That instantly shut Great Qin King's mouth. He felt rather helpless. The humans greatly lacked experts among their younger generations. Most of their top experts were those born over three hundred years ago. That was an era where they had produced a large number of Invincibles.
But in producing those experts, humanity had drained their own realm of opportunities. There was no helping it. As a result, the newer generations had not been able to surpass the older generations.
It wasn't that they were less talented. They simply lacked resources and opportunities.
Furthermore, the era three hundred years ago was different. The bigger the crisis, the bigger the room for growth. At the moment, the humans lacked the same sense of crisis they felt three hundred years ago.
With nothing else to say, Great Qin King couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He cursed inwardly. He swore to teach them a lesson one day.
These people were calling this a negotiation, but in truth, it was merely coercion. If the humans refused, they would still enter. Even the situation at the border might grow more dangerous than before with the rising tensions.
After a long silence, Great Qin King conversed with the other human Invincibles through voice transmissions. Finally, he spoke, "We accept your offer."
"Good!"
The non-human Invincibles laughed. This came as no surprise.
Meanwhile, the human Invincibles remained silent.
No joy was felt. Even though they had obtained more slots through this arrangement, they still couldn't feel any joy.
***
That day, the human race reached an agreement with the various races to allow some geniuses and dao protectors into the Human Realm.
That day, Marquis Xia and the others heard of this arrangement. They grinned.
This came as no surprise.
He had thought that those myriad race experts would sneak into the Human Realm. But instead, they were going to enter openly. This was not a bad thing. It was time for the Nanyuan ruin to show clues of its existence. Wouldn't it be terrible if the people there left because nothing was found?
A mere Great Xia had attracted the geniuses from the various realms.
That day, one human after another stepped out of several minor realms. Some were arrogant, some were subdued, and some were shrewd. Together, they headed toward the Human Realm.
Finally, they were going to step into the Human Realm.
