321: Peace talks are a matter of fate.

May 3rd.

After another day of silence, the Hidden Immortal Society finally sent two young women who looked like Great Xia natives over to discuss peace.

Their strength was only at the Bright Moon Realm, but they were fair-skinned and beautiful with S-shaped figures, especially their deliberately trained peach-shaped buttocks, which were quite eye-catching.

"Do you want to bewitch me with beauty? Heh, I have a heart of iron."

Xu Le sneered inwardly, but thinking that both young women looked like Great Xia people, he decided to be a bit more lenient.

The two young women were also very respectful, immediately cupping their hands in a salute upon approaching: "Congratulations to you, my lord, for breaking through to the Immortal Lord Rank!"

Afterward, they presented a congratulatory gift: two 300-year-old life-extending secret medicines—Lingzhi Dates. Eating them raw could extend one's life by a year, and they were even more effective when refined into a Medicinal Pill.

This item could only be considered average in other worlds, but the Heavenly Dao rules of this world were harsh, and living to a hundred years old was the limit.

However, using secret medicines like Lingzhi Dates to refine life-extending Medicinal Pills offered a chance to surpass that to 120 years.

Even a Galaxy Level expert would consider them rare treasures.

"Not bad, you have put in the effort!"

The two women were overjoyed. One was bold and uninhibited, and in her delight, she "accidentally" revealed most of her assets, not even wearing a protective barrier; the other shyly covered her small mouth and smiled sweetly.

One bold, one reserved; one could only say that the Hidden Immortal Society really knew how to play.

However, with such a posture, heaven knows how many talented people these two women had entertained.

A flash of disgust crossed Xu Le's eyes, and he got straight to the point: "Speak, what does your Hidden Immortal Society want?"

The bold woman caught the change in Xu Le's expression and hurriedly handed the lead over to the shy woman.

"Immortal Lord Xu, we would like to negotiate peace."

Xu Le clapped his hands: "Peace talks are great! In my life, I love peace the most, and my greatest dream is to build a world without war, or preferably even without arguments, where everyone embraces each other in harmony."

The two women rolled their eyes inwardly, thinking that if you put those words out there, you should go ask the people of Japan who were "harmonized" by you if they believe it.

However, these words could only remain in their hearts.

On the surface, the two women tried desperately to flatter him, fearing that if they were not careful, they would be struck by lightning.

Xu Le nodded in satisfaction: "Speak, what ideas do they have?"

The shy woman said: "The previously newly promoted Immortal Lord Yamamoto acted in a Heaven-Defying manner, did not know the rules of etiquette, and offended you, Immortal Lord."

The Hidden Immortal Society has unanimously decided to take all of Immortal Lord Yamamoto's territory and hand it over to you to control.

If you, Immortal Lord, are willing to join the Hidden Immortal Society, we can send you two Lingzhi Dates of the previous quality every ten years, and you will enjoy the same treatment as the other eight Immortal Lords."

Xu Le's expression turned cold: "Using the territory I conquered to exchange for my forgiveness, quite the calculation!"

The shy woman hurriedly explained: "It is not like that. Immortal Lord Yamamoto was quite overbearing. Not just Japan, but Great Xia, Elephant Country, the Peninsula, etc.—the entire continent will be yours to harvest faith from."

Xu Le's eyes lit up. The population of these places added up to at least nine billion, if not ten billion, occupying almost a quarter of this world's population; it would be no exaggeration to call it a massive amount of faith.

The shy woman then explained the help the Hidden Immortal Society could provide. They had their people in the middle and upper levels of every country, and many policies, especially in film, news, and culture, could be easily manipulated as long as they didn't cross the bottom line too much.

Xu Le nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, I see your sincerity. By the way, what are the benefits of joining you?"

The shy woman blushed while describing them, but Xu Le interrupted halfway through: "Forget it, I still prefer a society where everyone is equal, so I won't join you."

Equal?

The two women looked at Xu Le with surprised eyes, then realizing it was impolite, hurriedly withdrew their gaze.

The peace talks ended without signing any agreement; such things had no binding power for them anyway.

This Hidden Immortal Society was truly rotten; in order to surrender, they were willing to give anything, comparable to the "Boundless Longevity" old hag.

Xu Le handed these matters over to Gong Juren. The first task was to spread the Xu God version of "Elm Street" throughout the territory he controlled, making Xu God the nightmare of everyone.

… Night.

Xu Le opened his attribute panel:

[Name] Xu Le [Profession] Spirit Tamer [Rank] Divine-Grade [Talent] Innate Divinity [Strength] 1 [Agility] 1 [Physique] 1 [spirit] 35.86 million ↑ [Skill] Paper Control Technique 1 ↑, Thunder Control Art 1 ↑, Universal Salvation 2, Faith Deification Method 1 ↑, Star Pattern Deduction Technique 0 ↑ (Others are Seal-ed) [Equipment] paper ring, void realm stone [spirit source points] 3

After killing Yamamoto and the other two, Xu Le had obtained three more spirit source points, which he hadn't had a chance to use all this time.

Which Skill should he add to?

The Paper Control Technique was already sufficient; he had suppressed all the Spirit Tamer of the True God Country with just his paper figurines. It could be excluded for now.

The Thunder Control Art was unparalleled in killing, and in terms of power, it was superior to the paper figurines.

He had not forgotten that his greatest enemy had always been the Heavenly Dao. Once, it could destroy the Ice and Snow Domain with a single thunderbolt; if he could Cultivate the Thunder Control Art to the Peak, he should be able to control the heavenly thunder.

The Faith Deification Method was the engine; the higher the Rank, the faster he would inevitably Cultivate.

After some consideration, Xu Le chose to strengthen the [Star Pattern Deduction Technique].

Add points! Hum!

An epiphany surged through Xu Le's heart, and his eyes flashed with the light of wisdom.

In the galaxy, many stars that were originally invisible or too small were found by him one after another.

As the stars dimmed and brightened, the threads involved became clearer and more distinct.

Add points again! The last two spirit source points were all invested into it.

Every star involved countless threads, and those threads were intertwined with all things on the ground.

He had been able to see parts of it before, but now what he saw was clearer and more concrete.

Everyone had countless invisible threads on their bodies, corresponding to every star in the sky, together weaving countless possibilities.

This is Fate!

In the futures woven by those threads, Xu Le saw countless possibilities.

He looked at Gong Juren and discovered that above his head, there was a thick and bright thread, pulling him from the darkness toward more than three hundred kinds of futures.

And that thickest, brightest thread was actually Xu Le's own thread.

"Is my future also among the stars?"

Xu Le hurriedly pinched his fingers, just about to calculate the future of that thread, when he suddenly felt that he was at risk of falling.

A doctor cannot treat himself, and a diviner cannot divine for himself.

He could not ask about the future, but he could look at the past.

Xu Le looked at that bright white thread and discovered it was exactly his own trajectory.

From birth to the present, a tortuous line was entirely within it.

Although there were countless changes and countless choices in between, it also meant that from the very beginning, there was such a possibility.

Fate is determined by Heaven!

If one were a Mortal, one could strive to choose the best path among them to build the most perfect future in one's life.

But Xu Le was different. His target was the Heavenly Dao.

Fate is determined by Heaven; how can an athlete challenge the referee?

The Heavenly Dao could see the future from the very beginning. When things became uncontrollable, who knew if it would send down a heavenly thunderbolt to erase him, just like it erased Old Flying Tiger.

Wait, why did the Heavenly Dao want to erase Old Flying Tiger, even at the cost of destroying the entire Ice and Snow Domain?

Not good, cannot think about it!

Xu Le hurriedly put on the brakes. Now, the most important thing was to hide himself; before hiding his Karma threads, knowing the truth might only bring him destruction.
