Chapter 289 Three Clans Negotiations
Chapter 289 Peace Treaty among the Three Races (4K)
Not long after the three progenitors went to the Yan God Clan to discuss matters with the Yan Emperor, the Yan Emperor organized a group of Yan God Clan warriors to join the extraterritorial battlefield.
Thus, the humans on the extraterrestrial battlefield discovered that, just a few years later, those alien races that had fled had returned to the battlefield, and this time they had brought a new ally to join them—the Flame God Clan.
For some of the new generation of human warriors, the meaning of the Flame God Clan is still unclear, but the immortals who have experienced the ancient wars know that the Flame God Clan is indeed an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
Members of this race are warlike and possess immense individual strength. Even the most ordinary World Lord-level warriors have twice the genetic potential, while powerful Immortal Warriors can have up to ten times the genetic potential.
With such formidable basic combat strength, coupled with the amplification provided by the Flame God Clan armor, the Flame God Clan warriors were invincible in battle, making them a nightmare army on the outer battlefields of yesteryear.
But that was countless eons ago.
After years of recuperation, the Yan God Clan has not been active on the battlefield for a long time and is no longer very familiar with the current situation on the extraterritorial battlefield.
The Yan God Clan is still clinging to its past glory, believing that as long as they join the battlefield, they can defeat the enemy with absolute superiority, just like before.
In fact, it wasn't just the Yan God Clan who thought this way; the warriors of the three races who had returned with the Yan God Clan also thought the same.
But facing the overwhelming force of the Flame God Clan, the human race can now confidently say: times have changed!
The Flame God Clan was indeed fierce back then, even inflicting a considerable loss on the human race on the battlefield. However, that was because the opponent had the support of equipment, which allowed them to use World Lords as immortals and to transform ordinary immortals into powerful immortals.
At that time, the human race's combat strength was indeed stretched thin, because they had to use their immortality to fight against the other side's realm lords, and with the help of other alien races, the human race was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
But things are different now. With the influx of human soldiers, generals, and other equipment into the battlefield, not only has the human race's combat power increased significantly, but even human allies have also benefited from this boost.
Once the advantages of the armor were neutralized, the true weaknesses of the Flame God Clan were exposed.
The first drawback is that there are too few people!
Yes, although the Flame God Clan is an absolutely top-tier bloodline in the universe, their territory is too small. They live in a secret realm a few hundred light-years away, and are all nestled on three continents a few light-years apart.
It is important to understand that the size of a territory also represents the potential of a group to some extent; only a large population can produce strong individuals.
The Yan God Clan has such a small territory, and even if each of them is exceptionally talented, they cannot compare with the human race in terms of the number of powerful individuals.
They once relied on the Flame God Clan armor, which allowed their Realm Lord warriors to rival the immortals of the human race, thus mitigating their numerical disadvantage to some extent.
But things are different now. No matter how strong their individual strength is, with the support of their armor, the strength of the Flame God Clan warriors themselves has become less important.
Even if their realm lord warriors possess double the genes, everyone has armor amplification; your Flame God Clan realm lord has 1002.
With the power of a World Lord multiplied by 1001, my Human Race World Lord also possesses 1001 times the power of a World Lord.
At this level, a mere one-fold increase in genes is hardly an advantage. Furthermore, the number of Yan God Clan warriors is small, and they can't even make a ripple in front of billions of human realm lords.
Therefore, the alien races that returned to the battlefield with the Yan God Clan discovered in despair that they still seemed unable to defeat the human race.
The Flame God warriors were dumbfounded. They were still basking in the glory of the last war and thought that humans were nothing special.
However, once they entered the battlefield, they faced human warriors whose strength was no less than theirs, but whose numbers outnumbered them by several hundred.
Even with the warlike nature of the Yan God Clan, a sense of dread couldn't help but rise in their hearts.
What happened to the claim that the human race was weak? How come any random person on the other side is stronger than their Flame God Clan warriors?
Yes, even in terms of individual strength, the current Yan God Clan is no match for the human race.
Because this race has a fatal flaw—their soul!
Indeed, this race, with its powerful physical strength, has a great disadvantage in terms of soul. Compared with other human races of the same level, the soul strength of the Yan God Clan is often only one-third of that of their opponents.
Unlike the Flame Emperor, who possessed the original soul, these Flame God Clan warriors did not have original soul sub-bodies to compensate for their deficiencies. They only relied on the powerful force brought by the Flame God Clan armor in the past, which allowed them to ignore the differences in their souls.
But now, facing a human race whose basic strength is not much different, and whose opponents are also equipped with original soul sub-bodies, the difference in their souls is instantly as vast as the difference between heaven and earth, and the lower the strength, the greater this difference becomes.
Even a human mentalist with only a slight understanding of illusion techniques could easily outmaneuver a large group of Flame God Clan warriors.
With the addition of finishing blows from human warriors, killing the Flame God Clan was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables for them.
This advantage is also evident in the upper-level battlefields, and even more so in the lower-level battlefields.
Because compared to the laissez-faire approach in battles at the lower levels, the human race's battles against kings are premeditated and planned.
After all these years of research, the weaknesses of the Flame God Clan have long been known to the human race, and the human race's high-ranking officials had long anticipated that the three races would ask the Flame God Clan for external assistance.
Therefore, when the Flame God Clan joined the extraterritorial battlefield, the human race's high-ranking officials had already organized a group of King-level Soul Masters specifically to deal with the Flame God Clan.
These Soul Masters were all equipped with King Armor and King Soul, and their divine bodies and souls had all surpassed the peak level of the King-Sealing Realm. Facing the Flame God Clan King-Sealing Realm cultivators who were at the same level in strength but whose souls were dozens of times weaker than their own, dealing with them was far too easy.
Facing a Soul Master equivalent to the peak of the King level, these Kings of the Flame God Clan were like lambs to the slaughter, utterly powerless to resist. They were often controlled by the opponent's illusions in a single encounter and then easily killed by the opponent's psychic weapons.
Thus, in just a few short years, this group of fierce Yan God Clan warriors were utterly defeated by the human race, crying out for their mothers and fathers.
lost heavily.
Then the other three races were dumbfounded, never expecting that the Flame God Clan, which had once shone brightly on the battlefield, would be so vulnerable now.
But this time they came with the orders of their ancestor, and now they have no way to advance or retreat, so they can only grit their teeth and continue fighting against the human race.
They attempted to cooperate with the warriors of the Flame God Clan, assigning Soul Masters to protect them while the Flame God Clan charged ahead, with the other races providing support from the rear.
To be honest, this method of cooperation did alleviate the human race's offensive to some extent. Unfortunately, it only changed the situation from being easily killed by the human race to struggling before being killed.
All of this was because the Yan God Clan charged too aggressively at the beginning, and the human race seized the opportunity to kill a large number of them. The clan lost more than half of its members, and even with the cooperation of the alien race, the remaining people were only barely surviving.
In less than thirty years, the Flame God Clan on the extraterritorial battlefield was almost completely wiped out.
It should be noted that this group of warriors were the elite of their clan, and their complete loss on the battlefield has severely weakened the Yan God Clan.
When Emperor Yan learned of this, he was furious and almost went mad. Even if he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, the fact that such a large elite force of his clan had been wiped out was a significant loss for him and directly affected the Yan God Clan's position in the Nine Domains Alliance.
However, the ancestors of the three races had no time to care about the feelings of the Yan Emperor, because they did not expect that the Yan God Clan would be so vulnerable, and that countless warriors of the clan would perish.
In just a few decades, not only were all the warriors of the Yan God Clan wiped out, but the warriors of the three clans also suffered heavy losses.
After a brief discussion, the three founders all agreed that they could not continue fighting like this.
Even if the purpose of opening up the extraterritorial battlefield was to deplete the surplus population of the race, this time the depletion was too great, especially the Immortal level, which suffered more than half of its casualties.
Therefore, each of the three races sent envoys to the human race to convey their desire for peace.
After a brief meeting, the humans decided to listen to the other side's conditions. After all, they were in the upper hand now, and only they could decide whether to fight or negotiate.
Some time later, in a deserted starry sky at the border of the four races, the four divine power avatars appeared directly there.
Three of the figures were the progenitors of the three major alien races: the Father God of the Mechanical Race, the Dream Demon Ancestor of the Demon Race, and the Queen of the Insect Race.
The fourth incarnation is an incomparably majestic savage giant with a fierce and barbaric aura; he is none other than the human race's "Founder of the Giant Axe".
"Machinery, Dream Tea, Empress."
The disheveled, savage giant spoke up: "It's rare to see you back down. Tell me, what benefits have you prepared for this peace negotiation?"
"Giant Axe," the black sphere spoke, "You should know that it's not that our three races are afraid of you, but simply that we don't want to incur any further unnecessary losses."
"The machine is right." The slender figure in the light also said softly, "Giant Axe, although your human race currently has the advantage, in the end you are just a group of immortals."
"In this kind of low-level battlefield, what does it matter if your human race has a great advantage? Even if all your people die, I can revive them all with a wave of my hand."
"The true core of the race still depends on the Universe Venerable." The silver-white snake head also said, "You and I both know that the so-called extraterritorial battlefield is nothing more than a small-scale skirmish, a way to consume population, and cannot be considered a true race war."
"Once the real war begins, your human race may not be able to defeat the combined forces of my three races."
"Haha." The founder of the giant axe laughed loudly, "Dream Tea, anyone can say tough words, do you think you can scare me?"
"Want to start a tribal war? Fine, let me see if your three races can truly cooperate sincerely."
"Giant Axe, Mengcha is merely stating a fact," the black sphere said. "When the real war begins, your human race may not be able to withstand it."
"Alright, so there's nothing to talk about then?" the founder of the giant axe said calmly. "Then let me see what you've got."
North: "Wait a minute."
Seeing that the divine power avatar of the giant axe was indeed showing signs of dissipating, the insect queen hurriedly said, "Giant Axe, the demon race has suffered considerable losses this time. Mengcha was just saying that in anger."
"A true tribal war would benefit none of the four of us."
"So you still want to negotiate?" The founder of the Giant Axe grinned. "I've never seen the losing side still spouting threats. If you really want to negotiate, just state the benefits. Why waste so much breath?"
"You—" The black sphere was speechless. What they had just said was just negotiation rhetoric. In reality, no one wanted to start a real war, after all, the strongest of the four races was still alive.
They just didn't expect Giant Axe to be so direct. If the Empress hadn't spoken up, he and Mengcha would have been in an awkward situation.
Then the Mechanical Ancestor and the Dream Demon Ancestor exchanged a glance, and the black sphere said, "Then I'll be frank. The four races will temporarily cease hostilities for a thousand epochs, and we can give up five of the eleven extraterrestrial battlefields to the human race."
"Furthermore, the Seventh Battlefield serves as a buffer zone for the four races, and can be used as a training ground for the strong of each race, where fighting is not prohibited."
The so-called seventh battlefield is actually the area where the Star Tower is located, and the three races naturally cannot let it go.
"That's it?" Giant Axe laughed and shook his head. "Not enough! Apart from the seventh battlefield, the remaining ten battlefields all belong to my human race."
"In addition, each of your clans must contribute some resources as ransom." Giant Axe chuckled. "In that case, I will not interfere with your reversal of time to resurrect the powerful members of your clans."
"This is impossible!" the black sphere roared in fury. "Giant Axe, you've gone too far!"
"Losers should act like losers." The founder of the giant axe sneered. "That's the law of this universe: the winner takes all! How dare the loser make demands?"
"You—" The black sphere was about to say something when the Zerg Queen spoke up: "Alright, machine."
She shook her head: "Giant Axe is right. Defeat is defeat, and it's only right to bear some consequences."
In reality, for these strongest individuals, the so-called resource compensation is worthless; it consists of some clan-specific resources, which combined are not even as valuable as a single supreme treasure.
Compared to these resources, our people are our most precious asset.
In reality, the Mechanical Progenitor was just putting on an act for the Giant Axe; he was actually quite calm and was only trying to gain benefits.
Seeing the giant axe's resolute attitude, the black sphere said nothing, simply stating, "Then let's leave it at that. Dream Tea, Empress, what about you?"
"I have no objection." The silver-white snake head shook its head.
"Same." The slender figure in the light chuckled. "Then let's do it this way. I will resurrect the people who died in this war later, and then the entire Zerg will withdraw from the outer battlefield."
"You even want to resurrect the Lord of the Realm?" The silver-white snake head chuckled. "What a waste of divine power."
"After all, we are not as talented as your demon race. Every member of our race is extremely precious." The slender figure was not angry. After a light smile, the divine power avatar dissipated.
"Remember to compensate us for the resources." The savage giant grinned.
"Don't worry." The black sphere said and left, along with the silver-white snake head.
Thus, the negotiations among the four races came to an end, with the human race emerging victorious.
