360: Chapter 360: Making a Contract, Ignoring It, the Mastermind Behind the Scenes: The Violent Golden Dragon
There was another sentence that Wind Spirit Dragon Master did not say aloud; she felt that if time were given to this Grand Master, array domains of four or five Laws could be set up, and by then, it would truly be an unsinkable super divine city.
Seven days were extremely short for intermediate lives, but it was enough for the many native faction representatives and Heavenly Star Milky Way high-tier civilization race prodigies present to sense that a terrifying war behemoth in the distance had quietly approached within one million miles.
"It seems that the main fortress city of the War Divine Court has already arrived. I just don't know how they will start the war; will it be a single combat between the two top powerhouses, or a full-force legion divine war."
"Just watch. Now that such a grand array has been set up in Qiudi Divine City, it is precisely a safe place to watch the battle."
By this time, Wang An had long finished adjusting the grand array. Now, he sat quietly cross-legged beneath the high-altitude Taiyin Bright Moon Magic Treasure, transforming into a Taiyin Immortal waiting for his opponent.
Before long, in the distance, a solemn-looking team of envoys slowly approached.
However, they lacked the arrogant, conceited, and disdainful demeanor of those people from before, and instead proudly pulled out a divine decree to read aloud.
"The Lord of the War Divine Court, True God Dousheng, has spoken: In the past, there were indeed divine court envoys who were arrogant and disrespectful to powerhouses, which deserved the death penalty. But now that the war has started, there must definitely be no truce or peace talks; otherwise, where would the majesty of the divine court lie? Therefore, today's battle is not a battle of life-and-death grievances, but a battle of status and majesty."
"If we win, Qiudi Divine City will be destroyed, and a new city will be re-established."
"If we lose, the War Divine Court will entirely withdraw from all territories in the Wanshan Sea of Fire East District."
"Let this be the pact."
After finishing reading, the envoy stood in place, waiting for Grand Master Tianhe to respond.
The information read out by the envoy caused an uproar among the many powerhouses on the city wall.
Sword Emperor Jiuli chuckled, speaking with a look of disdain and mockery:
"Rare, truly rare. The War Divine Court is actually willing to put down that stinking arrogance."
"However, this treaty is not very equal."
"If you win, you destroy the divine city, but if you lose, you only cede territory without much loss."
The high-tier civilization prodigies of the Heavenly Star Milky Way present also nodded in agreement; this was indeed unequal.
If the Milky Way Galaxy launched an extinction war to end a civilization race, either one of the two sides would be destroyed or they would perish together, unless the high-tier factions behind them negotiated a peace to bring it to an end.
"What is the use of the War Divine Court merely ceding some territory?"
"What if one's own faction becomes hollow afterward and they find an opportunity to destroy us?"
Under normal circumstances, intermediate civilization wars in the Milky Way Galaxy rarely broke out. Once they broke out, they were endless and unrelenting, cutting weeds and eliminating roots without giving a shred of opportunity.
Meanwhile, the nearby representatives of top-tier and first-rate native factions furrowed their brows tightly.
To them, ceding territory was tantamount to weakening themselves, and ceding so much land in one go meant they had no idea when in the future they could reassemble legions to recapture or even pioneer so many territories.
The size of the territory and the amount of resources were related to the strength of one's power, all of which were seized bit by bit through True God wars.
"To cede it so easily already breaks the traditional war creed of the Only True Realm."
"Ceding one city today and ten cities tomorrow will lead to destruction sooner or later."
As for Wang An, he turned a deaf ear to the proposal of the War Divine Court envoy and made no response whatsoever.
For a time, the envoy of the mission was gossiped about by some old opponents on the city tower, appearing extremely awkward.
"Hehe, Grand Master Tianhe simply won't respond. Look at how you fellows usually turn your noses up to the sky."
The gap in strength and status between the two sides was indeed massive. Grand Master Tianhe had no need to respond to this envoy at all, unless the opposite side also dispatched a True God with three powerful divine posts at Perfection to be considered equal.
Half an hour later, the mission left resentfully.
On the ground, the spiritual Aura of [Taiyin Hanqiu] covered the area, and the three major war legions of Yandi, Bingzhu, and Fuxi awaited in full battle array.
The main war city opposite, which was advancing slowly and was already 500,000 miles away from the divine city, stopped to observe the situation of the divine city.
Around True God Dousheng, there were also more than a dozen intermediate powerhouses surrounding him, who possessed above one powerful divine post or had condensed Law Profound Truths.
One could see various high-tier civilization races of the Heavenly Star Milky Way Galaxy, the four major dinosaur imperial clans of the Beast Alliance, lizard crocodiles, bow sharks, phantom pirates, and faith True Gods gathering together.
A Tyrannosaurus race powerhouse from a dinosaur civilization, whose appearance resembled an elemental golden wicked dragon, waited and waited without seeing the envoy return. A cold and brutal light flashed in its dragon pupils.
"What are you still waiting for? I think your so-called envoy was long butchered by the other side. Drive the war fortress and crush them all the way. With so many powerful entities like us helping, that grand array will be breached in less than an hour or two."
This group of people coming here was not to help the War Divine Court, but to stop Tianhe from condensing more Law Profound Truths, or to disrupt his Laws causing the condensation to bias, create more conflicts, and delay the time of his advancement.
There were already dragon kings in the Beast Alliance who deduced that this Human Race Dao Master would likely attain the high-tier position within 500 years; by then, trying to destroy him would be extremely difficult.
Although since historical records began, no life form had ever attained the high tier within five hundred years, wasn't this current era precisely a grand Universe collision event never encountered before across the entire grand Universe?
Therefore, after these few probes of strength, many dragon kings and high-tier lords of the Beast Alliance determined that he was extremely likely to advance to the high-tier position.
Today, their purpose in coming here was to hinder Tianhe from continuing to cultivate with the help of the Only True Realm.
If they could break his undefeated combat record, the blow to the Aura and Luck of a Dao Master of this caliber would be immense.
The unceremonious words of the Fierce and Brutal Golden Dragon displeased True God Dousheng, who sat upright upon the main seat.
However, this time the other party brought a powerful quasi-Spirit Treasure that scatters divine souls, and at the same time represented a high-tier civilization race Alliance, so he dared not offend them too much.
In fact, previously upon learning that Grand Master Tianhe belonged to the leader of the Black Iron Human Race among the five types of Human Races in the Human Alliance, he had felt some regret about rashly launching the war.
Although the other party was merely a leader of an intermediate civilization race, who was to say they did not have life-saving methods bestowed by other allied high-tier lords?
Even if he could finally defeat the opponent, it would be impossible to kill them, and he would have to face the endless harassment of a super powerhouse. Completely forging a deep enmity was truly unwise.
It was just unexpected that the Beast Alliance, which was relatively opposed to the Human Alliance, came looking for them, reportedly possessing the ability to completely kill or sever the opponent's Dao path.
True God Dousheng initially did not believe it, but when the other party took out a dragon scale of ever-changing colors, that scale exuding the Aura of a quasi-Spirit Treasure even aroused the awakening of a guardian Divine Artifact of equal status within their divine court.
Thus, through both coercion and temptation, he was forced to agree.
Fortunately, he still had his reason, thinking of agreeing on the war intensity in advance and ceding territory to preserve the War Divine Court.
