260: Our vows protect the city moat!

Shan Jun was very nervous.

But he quickly reacted.

"You bastard, don't tell me you forgot about this."

Shan Jun realized Ye Su wasn't here to start a fight, so his temper flared up.

Ye Su scratched his head.

He really had forgotten.

When he heard the Think Tank say the Ice Fortress had been dragged away and eaten by Mother Earth...

He thought the Elf Clan had escaped and then accidentally been crushed by other forces on the battlefield.

Fortunately.

Shan Jun was the type to overthink things.

He had brought the Elf Clan back.

These were the natives of the fourth planet, after all.

They had to have some value.

However, facing Shan Jun's accusations, Ye Su's Aura couldn't be weak.

"You have the nerve to blame me? You kidnapped them and didn't even say a word to me?"

Shan Jun almost laughed from anger.

People really do laugh when they are speechless.

Ye Su had promoted to Ascension Level Two.

He didn't expect his thick skin to have promoted along with him.

"Fine, you win."

"Now take the people away."

Shan Jun said.

Ye Su thought for a moment and replied;

"Wait a bit, I want to ask some things first. You can listen too if you're interested."

"Fine!"

The two weren't speaking quietly.

The leader of the Elf Clan was Irene; with her Ascension One strength, she could naturally hear them.

By the time the two reached an agreement, Irene had already walked over.

"Thank you for saving our lives."

She said to Ye Su.

The Ascension One level of the Elf Clan was truly weak. Coupled with it being a mutation of an ordinary planet, there seemed to be no compensation, or if there was, they couldn't snatch it.

With such strength, they really would have been crushed in the battlefield at that time.

"Come, let's talk privately."

Ye Su beckoned.

The three of them immediately took to the air and appeared on the peak of a mountain.

"What is your name?"

"Irene."

"Look, I'll just ask directly. Ms. Irene, you know your own strength. In that environment back then, coming over... to put it bluntly... you were simply looking for death."

Ye Su said;

"So, what was your purpose? To seize a heavy artifact and turn the tables?"

Upon hearing this, Irene shook her head repeatedly.

"I didn't know what we were supposed to seize. It's just that the prophecies within our clan were telling me that only by going to the battlefield would there be a way to survive."

Irene said, and then her vermilion lips parted again.

"See, haven't we survived?"

Ye Su frowned.

Fate?

Prophets?

Prophecy?

What is this stuff!

"Can you introduce your race to me? Or the source of this prophecy."

Ye Su said;

"Perhaps this will reveal your race's secrets, but given the current situation... you understand."

Irene nodded.

She seemed to truly take the prophecy seriously.

The person before her was the key to the Elf Clan's survival.

And so.

She explained the situation of the Elf Clan clearly, point by point.

Ye Su and Shan Jun's eyes practically glowed as they listened.

This race was very magical.

Their entire race was female and was birthed by the ancient tree of life.

It was hard to understand how a tree could birth living people—besides that, there was another type of elf with no gender;

Druids.

These elves possessed various strange transformation abilities and the ability to communicate with animals.

The two combined to form the true Elf Clan.

Not long after that Elf Planet underwent its mutation, it was pulled over by the Ghost Race.

And thus.

A nightmare descended.

The Fire Elementals of the Lava Hell were their natural counters.

In the short-lived war.

The Elf Clan suffered heavy losses.

Their total population plummeted from tens of millions to hundreds of thousands.

They were nearly wiped out.

Under these circumstances, Irene received the prophecy from the ancient tree of life and came to that battlefield. What happened next was exactly what Ye Su saw.

If Ye Su hadn't intercepted them in advance.

They would have been crushed long ago.

As for the elves' cultivation system, after the mutation and with the help of the ancient tree of life, it quickly evolved and iterated into a spiritual power system.

However, even if they transformed faster, they couldn't contend with the Fire Elementals, who were like their natural enemies.

"You're saying that Lava Hell has already started plundering matter from the Elf Planet?"

Ye Su said.

Irene nodded.

Lava Hell basically steamrolls everything. Awakening a planetary will and then plundering matter is perfectly normal.

"Ye Su!"

There was a hint of anxiety in Shan Jun's tone.

The Elf Planet was the planet Shan Jun had already claimed. If its matter kept being plundered like this, he feared only a skeleton would remain, specifically for consuming the mutation. Once the mutation was consumed, the planet would be completely swallowed by Lava Hell.

"Leader Irene, right?"

Ye Su said;

"I have a suggestion."

Ye Su's brain was working at high speeds.

Lava Hell had developed too well; the Elf Clan couldn't restrain them at all.

And later, after the Ice Giant Star was broken by him, it would be too terrifying if Lava Hell came charging over.

It was purely focused on development!

He had to create some restraint.

Throw the Yao Race over there.

And for the Yao Race, that place was simply heaven.

The Elf Clan worshipped nature; the entire planet had a vast number of animals, and these animals were also changing during the mutation.

But they hadn't developed to Shan Jun's level.

Once Shan Jun went over, it would be the prototype of a massive Yao Kingdom!

"Wait a second—"

Irene was stunned; Ye Su stopped halfway through his sentence.

Then he pulled Shan Jun to the side.

"Shan Jun."

"Ye Su!"

"Whatever the case, it's all for survival," Ye Su said;

"The oral agreement we made is meaningless."

"So... prepare the heavens will oath!"

Shan Jun nodded;

"It's about time!"

Ye Su was afraid Shan Jun would rise up and backstab him.

Shan Jun was afraid Ye Su would backstab him after seeing him rise up.

The two understood each other very well.

Without the constraints of a heavens will oath, true cooperation could not begin.

Then.

A full ten-plus minutes passed— "No, are you building a copyright moat for the oath? Is this ever going to end!"

Shan Jun was completely fed up.

For their cooperation, the heavens will oath wasn't just a single one.

Nor was it something broad like 'never betray each other'.

Instead, it was an agreement: if you rise up, you can't hit me; if I rise up, I won't hit you. This included: I can't lure enemies to strike you, and you can't intentionally leak my information to lure people to strike me—in short...

It was a series of moats!

"Wait, I'm thinking if there are any loopholes..."

Ye Su said.

Shan Jun flopped onto the ground.

He gave up!

It took about half an hour.

The two were finally done.

Basically, the moats were built high.

They could absolutely trust each other.

Shan Jun shook his head.

He'd already forgotten half of it—it was quite ridiculous.

But absolute trust, that kind of thing, was finally established.

Nothing was more binding than a heavens will oath.

"Alright, Leader Irene, let's continue our chat."

Ye Su said;

"Do you... have plans to move?"

Hearing this, Irene felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

He, they.

They wanted her planet.
