Chapter 436: Conditions Proposed
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
God of Meng's voice was so loud that it resounded through the wildness. Ye Cha and Meng Zhi shuddered at it, and Lu Li and Bai Qiuxue who were in the imperial palace felt their eardrums hurt.
God of Meng had a point!
In history, when the 10,000 races were strong and humans were weak, the races didn't think much of humans. Humans began their quest of establishing relations of buttering many sides up. Taking the chance, humans began to grow.
However, after humans became powerful, they started a massacre. They fought their old allies and friends to grab lands. In the end, most of the 10,000 races were destroyed. Humans seized the most prosperous lands of the Great Land and pocketed all the resources and lands of treasures.
The history of the rise of humans was the history of suffering for other races.
Many races fled to small worlds, to the wild, and to the corners of the world to drag out their feeble existence. They never forgot their past glory nor their history of blood, tears, and hatred.
Even if they were to put history aside!
How could a young human being bring them back to the Central Plains to take back their ancestral lands? To God of Meng, this was a joke.
Lu Li was only at the Fate Wheel Realm and it was uncertain if he could reach the Human Sovereign Realm or the Earth Immortal Realm. Even if he could, so what?
How many Earth Immortal Realm warriors were there in the six forces? How powerful was the Samsara Palace, the most powerful one at the Central Plains. Fighting their way back to the Central Plains with the pathetic warriors they had was an ambitious attempt without a sense of their pitiable limitation.
Ye Cha did not interfere in the conversation between Meng Zhi and God of Meng for fear of making it worse. He winked at Meng Zhi who said quickly, "The ancient god of the Cyan Phoenix Race once acquired half a booklet of the Heaven Augury Spell and he left behind a tablet. It is written that Saint Lord can bring us to the Central Plains and take back our ancestral lands. Do you not believe in the Heaven Augury Spell?"
"Heaven Augury Spell?"
God of Meng's eyes lit up. Meng Huo and the other Titans were surprised as well. Heaven Augury Spell was more than famous. It was one of the 10 Divine Spells.
That being said, God of Meng still shook his head in disbelief after some thoughts and said, "I don't trust humans. Maybe it is calculated wrong given that there was only half of the booklet of Heaven Augury Spell. This human… is so weak. You think he can make vigorous efforts to turn the situation? Laughable!"
"What is there to laugh about?"
Meng Zhi was trying to explain when two people walked out from the sacred place. Lu Li walked over with unyielding pride to Meng Zhi and Ye Cha. He glanced to the God of Meng and said, "Clan Leader, I am Lu Li and I am 17. I am at the middle stage of the Fate Wheel Realm and I can already beat Patriarch Meng Huo. Why do you think that I cannot reach the Earth Immortal Realm? Why would you say that I cannot sweep across the Central Plains when I do?
"I don't understand the feud between you and the humans, and I am not here to judge. But Clan Leader Ye and Meng Zhi can vouch for me after all those years. They are not stupid. They just trust me. I don't want to make any empty promises, and I only want a chance to prove myself. It will be a chance for you as well. What if I really am as good as what the Heaven Augury Spell said?"
Lu Li had to come out or the Deserted World was a lost business for him. If so, when Song Qi entered the Northern Desert, he would resign himself to death. For the sake of the others and himself as well, he had to try.
Lu Li's words embarrassed Meng Huo, but it was a fact that he had lost to Lu Li so there was not much Meng Huo could say to refute.
Once again, God of Meng fell silent. He stared at Lu Li but didn't say anything. Lu Li's words were sincere and intriguing. His last sentence has caught the God of Meng's attention.
Who would like to stay in the Deserted World forever? Who wouldn't love to take back their ancestral lands to have endless resources so the Titan Race could grow and rebuild its glory?
The matter was… God of Meng was afraid to take the risk!
If he made the wrong choice, the Titan Race could be wiped out from the world. Maybe there were other Titans hidden in small other corners, but the ones here were definitely the most powerful ones.
They had been hiding in the Deserted World for years, and they had worked so hard to grow and to have one Human Sovereign Realm and several at the Noble Lord Realm. If God of Meng did anything rashly, it could undo all his forefathers' achievements.
Seeing that God of Meng was intrigued, Lu Li thought about it and added, "Clan Leader Meng, you think that staying in the Deserted World will protect you? If we can find here, then nobody can say for sure that families from the Central Plains won't. If that happens… you know the result."
"Plus!"
Lu Li continued after a pause without giving God of Meng a chance to interrupt, "There are many Mystical Materials in the Deserted World, but I think there must be some kinds you are in dire need of. Let us cooperate. We can unify the Deserted World for you and take control of all the resources. We can trade some of your Mystical Materials in the Deserted World at the Central Plains for something else so the Titan Race can develop. Maybe after several decades, there will be more of you reaching the Human Sovereign Realm…"
Lu Li's words were tempting to God of Meng and Meng Huo!
He had made a good point!
Titan Race lacked Mystical Materials. Otherwise, Meng Huo would have reached the Human Sovereign Realm. There were many Mystical Materials in the Deserted World, but some rare ones were only available at the Central Plains.
They didn't trust anyone from the outside world so they dared not to do business with families from outside. Doing otherwise would induce fatal disaster. But if Lu Li was the one to do business, they would not have to expose themselves. Once they got the Mystical Materials they needed, Titan Race would have more reaching the Noble Lord Realm or the Human Sovereign Realm.
Still, God of Meng said nothing.
Lu Li had said his piece. He waited quietly for God of Meng's decision. Meng Zhi wanted to say something but Ye Cha stopped him. Ye Cha knew there was no point in talking more. It all came down to how God of Meng decided.
Time moved on. Lu Li showed no emotions but he was getting tense.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, God of Meng finally opened his mouth. He turned to Lu Li and said, "You just said that you can help us unify the Deserted World?"
Lu Li nodded. God of Meng snorted and said, "Fine, I will give you a chance. If you can kill the Clan Leader of the Stellar Race, I will acknowledge loyalty to you. You have my words!"
"Eh…"
Lu Li and others were taken aback. Clan Leader of the Stellar Race was of the Human Sovereign Realm. If they could do this, why would they need the Titan Race?
God of Meng sneered and said, "Since you are the one according to the Heaven Augury Spell, then you must be able to create miracles. If you want me to swear my alliance to you, you must demonstrate your power and means. I don't care how you do it. As long as you kill him, I swear that the Titan Race will be at your service. If no, then don't bring it up anymore. Let's go!"
With that said, God of Meng turned around and left in big strides. Meng Huo and the other Titans left as well without any hesitation. They were so fast that they disappeared into the mountains in the distance in the time for just more than a dozen breaths.
Lu Li and the others looked at each other speechlessly. But it was not like they didn't understand it at all.
Lu Li could talk his head off, but God of Meng still had his pride and his reasons. Just as he mentioned, if Lu Li wanted his loyalty, Lu Li most show his power and means.
Titan Race had gone through so many sufferings to grow. God of Meng could not risk it all. If Lu Li could kill the Clan Leader of the Stellar Race, then it would prove that he was worthy of the service of the Titan Race, and God of Meng would have an assurance before he took any risks.
"Clan Leader of the Stellar Race?"
Lu Li really didn't know what to do. It wouldn't help even if he called all the powerful warriors of the Northern Desert over. After all, they were trying to deal with a Human Sovereign.
