251: Chapter 4 Asymmetric Diplomacy

After receiving the request for dialogue sent by the Xingyang Civilization.

The Holy City on Blue Star seemed to explode into an uproar; several believers absolutely loyal to Zhangyang God cursed loudly: "The Xingyang Civilization is simply going too far!"

"Our deity, willing to lower their status to communicate with their false god, is already the greatest mercy in the entire universe."

"Yet their false god did not even appear, only sending a tiny mortal to communicate with our deity!"

"This is simply a huge humiliation for us!"

Besides these believers whose expressions were twisted with anger, more people in the Holy City felt surprised.

After all, most of the people here had gradually seen the true face of the deity they served.

They had long ceased to care whether their god would lose face.

Instead, they were puzzled by the power of the Xingyang God. Although this foreign god had indeed blocked several attacks from Zhangyang God, the tiny Milky Way Galaxy remained intact in the face of a ninety-billion-light-year universe.

But this foreign god clearly had no energy left to counterattack, so they did not understand why the Xingyang Civilization would propose such harsh dialogue requirements.

One must know that in diplomatic negotiations, the greatest cornerstone is equality. Soldier to soldier, general to general, head of state to head of state.

Let alone between two hostile forces.

Regardless, it should be a communication between gods. Yet the other side actually only sent a bishop, a mere mortal!

And they actually demanded that Zhangyang God personally negotiate!

This was simply saying that the arrogant Zhangyang God, who had conquered almost the entire universe,

was completely unqualified to talk to the Xingyang God and was only fit to communicate with a mortal in the Civilization of Gods.

This was truly beyond what could be described as an insult.

Therefore, everyone in the Holy City, all the believers, firmly believed that Chu Zhangyang would not agree to this absurd and unbelievable request.

Including the delegation currently residing in the divine might, they also did not believe this exchange could be successfully achieved.

They had already prepared to return without success.

Chu Zhangyang, who lived in the Zhangyang God Temple of the Holy City, naturally refused this "unreasonable" request flatly at first.

Then he laughed to those around him: "The people of the Xingyang Civilization must all be idiots; I don't know who formulated their diplomatic strategy!"

The subordinates around him naturally nodded frequently in agreement.

But after a few days.

Chu Zhangyang's sensing of the terrifying existence about to enter the Milky Way Galaxy became increasingly intense.

This made his heart very conflicted.

If he did not agree to this completely unequal dialogue, he would not be able to get any information about this terrifying monster.

Nor could he anticipate what kind of danger he would encounter later and make comprehensive countermeasures.

Thus, after experiencing half a month of inner torment.

Chu Zhangyang, in order to successfully rule the Multiverse in the future, finally agreed.

While clenching his fists fiercely, he consoled himself bitterly: "It's fine, this humiliation will pass soon!"

"Anyway, regardless of the Xingyang Civilization or this universe, they will eventually all become part of my flesh and blood body."

"No consciousness will remember this history of my humiliation!"

Soon, the news that Zhangyang God agreed to talk to the mortal bishop of the Xingyang Civilization spread.

The entire Milky Way Galaxy was boiling.

All living beings could not imagine that the Evil God who had annexed the entire universe had actually lowered his head before a mortal of the Xingyang Civilization and chose to negotiate with an ordinary person!

Various life forms exclaimed in their hearts endlessly: "Xingyang God is indeed the only true god in all universes!"

"He could actually allow a mortal believer under his command to get an equal opportunity to talk with the Evil God in this universe!"

This Milky Way Galaxy, surrounded by the Flesh and Blood Universe, had already begun to imagine a future victory.

All kinds of news were spreading crazily.

"This is a sign that the Zhangyang Civilization is going to surrender! Once they completely submit, our doomsday will not come!"

"The Milky Way Galaxy is saved, countless civilizations are saved, and everyone can survive!"

"The Great Deity Xingyang already has a way to completely stop the doomsday of the universe! Let us no longer live negatively, let's welcome a beautiful tomorrow."

But inside the divine might, Chu Xingyang knew that the destruction of this Zhangyang Universe was unstoppable.

Yu Lan, who was beside him, threw out her own confusion: "Deity, Chu Zhangyang over there should not know that our bishop is you, is the Great God."

"So... I can't figure out how he could possibly lower his head and agree to negotiate with someone who, in his eyes and the eyes of other living beings, is just a mortal."

Chu Xingyang looked at the not-so-distant center of the Milky Way Galaxy, then calmly said: "This is not simple! It is because of fear!"

"Fear?"

The Solia sisters beside him, as well as Wei Wei, Xiliu, and others, all made sounds of confusion.

They did not understand that Chu Zhangyang, who had already annexed the entire universe, could actually develop this kind of feeling that should only belong to weak life forms.

Chu Xingyang nodded, then said slowly: "It is precisely because you cannot feel the Silence!"

"So you cannot experience this kind of deterrent power!"

"But he and I, naturally, can both deeply feel this bone-chilling cold."

"Therefore, he is afraid. He wants to obtain information about the Silence using every possible method before the effect of the catalyst is fully exerted!"

"So, he has no choice but to lower his status and come to talk to me in the identity of a bishop."

Suo Xiaoli, hearing this, blinked her eyes: "Then, will you tell him all the information?"

Chu Xingyang thought for a moment: "Actually... I don't know much about the Silence either."

"However, we have all seen his whirlwind-like way of inhaling stardust."

"In short, I cannot deal with it, and the current Chu Zhangyang cannot deal with it either!"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

The terrifying existence capable of suppressing deities was indeed something unexpected to everyone.

But they recalled the despair and regret of the female Sun God of the Snow Sun universe when the entire universe along with the Solar System were swallowed. They also generally felt some of the power of the "Silence".

In the crowd, Suo Xiaoli said gratefully: "Fortunately, we mortals cannot feel that monster, otherwise, most of the living beings in this Milky Way Galaxy would likely have been scared out of their wits by now."

"I just don't know, how will we finally defeat it?"

"If it cannot be destroyed, then the Silence will definitely eat away at the Multiverse step by step. Maybe... even the location of the Xingyang Civilization..."

Everyone trembled in their hearts.

Yu Lan raised her head, hesitantly and softly speaking her speculation: "Could it be..."

"Will the Great Deity Xingyang join forces with that Evil God?"

Wei Wei hurriedly shook her head and laughed: "How is that possible, how could the Great God cooperate with evil."

"Fortunately, Tu Kulei is not here, otherwise that half-face would definitely have fiercely retorted to you."

Hearing this, Yu Lan immediately closed her mouth and said no more.

Chu Xingyang smiled calmly: "This is of course. No matter what, I will not join forces with that guy."

"It's just that since he wants to negotiate with us and has adopted such a low posture, it is naturally not easy for me to refuse."

At this time, in the relatively comfortable guest cabin of the divine might.

The delegation of the Zhangyang Civilization naturally also received the information that their god was willing to communicate.

Willing to communicate with a mortal of the other side in the identity of a god.

In the unbelievable eyes of everyone.

Science Officer Wei Wei was anxious and angry, tears constantly rolling down her face.

She said while sobbing: "It's all my fault, it's all our fault... we are too incompetent."

"That is why the Great God has suffered such huge humiliation."

"The entire Xingyang Civilization must pay a huge price for their blasphemous actions."

Some people in the delegation showed expressions of disbelief. They thought this was clearly something Zhangyang God wanted to agree to himself.

And no one forced him.

It's just that these envoys also did not understand why their god would rather pay such a huge price just to say a few words to the people of the Xingyang Civilization.

In this way, all living beings in the Milky Way Galaxy, and even those believers in the Holy City on Blue Star.

Perhaps all would equate Zhangyang God with a mortal of the Xingyang Civilization. Having conquered almost all universes, in the end, he could only get the treatment of a mortal from the Xingyang Civilization.

They looked at the leader Wei Wei, who was crying extremely sadly, and didn't know how to comfort her, because at this moment, everyone's mood might be even more complicated than the leader's.

Everyone could only silently exit the room, leaving the Science Officer alone. Then they gathered in the spacious living room specifically prepared for them by the Xingyang Civilization.

During this time here, besides eating real delicious food, the delegation also heard some clues about the "Silence" from many people in the Xingyang Civilization!

Because the entire Xingyang Civilization did not treat the delegation as any enemy to be guarded against.

Besides sufficient supplies, they were even given sufficient freedom of movement.

This made the people in the delegation feel suspicious.

They thought, could this be the true Civilization of Gods? It had already become so powerful that it didn't treat the people of the Zhangyang Civilization as enemies at all.

Now, after learning that Zhangyang God had agreed to that unreasonable request, their expressions were even more relaxed, completely lacking that sense of tension in the heartland of hostile forces.

"You have also heard about that Silence, right? I heard that the people of the Xingyang Civilization have also made it clear to the entire Milky Way Galaxy. When the Silence arrives in more than half a year, it will be the time for our entire universe to be destroyed."

"By then, whether it is our Zhangyang God, his Flesh and Blood Universe, or the Milky Way Galaxy, all will suffer the fate of destruction."

A tall envoy said slowly while rubbing his stuffed stomach.

Another short person immediately replied: "I can see it now, that Silence is the reason we came here, and also the reason why Zhangyang God is in such a hurry to negotiate with the Xingyang Civilization."

"Perhaps, our god also really has no way to deal with that Silence!"

Someone next to him immediately gave a look: "Lower your voice, Zhangyang God is invincible and omniscient and omnipotent, how can you say such blasphemous words!"

The short person was indifferent: "Tch, we are in the Milky Way Galaxy now, not the tiny Holy City!"

"If the god is really omniscient and omnipotent and can hear the conversations in the Milky Way Galaxy, then he wouldn't need to send us here to seek communication, right!"

Seeing that what he said was very reasonable, the suddenly tense expressions of everyone also relaxed a lot.

The short person continued to express his point of view: "Before coming here, I didn't know, and I really thought that the life forms of hundreds of millions of civilizations were crowded into the tiny Milky Way Galaxy, living a life worse than death, like hell."

"Now I know that they eat better than us, live better than us, and are even happier than us!"

"The life in our Holy City is the real hell!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly had a stagnant expression.

Someone sighed and said with a sad face: "We know everything you said, but still, keep your voice down. If Science Officer gets to know about this, she will definitely blame you!"

"She is truly loyal to Zhangyang God!"

The tall envoy who spoke at the beginning put on an indifferent look: "So what! This is the territory of the Xingyang Civilization, could it be that she dares to execute us here?"

"If it weren't for the fact that she has defended us enough before Zhangyang God in the past, I wouldn't have put her in my eyes long ago."

"Anyway, I can see it now, the so-called Zhangyang God is just bullying those at home. He turned everyone on our Blue Star into zombies and annexed those weak civilizations."

"But when he really encountered the powerful Xingyang God, he had no way to go further."

"Not to mention the fact that because of his fear of the Silence, he is actually seeking to join forces with his opponent!"

The tall man's continuous complaints and dissatisfaction made all the envoys silent.

In fact, everyone's collapse of faith in and even hatred for Chu Zhangyang had started since the day of the "Great Baptism".

But first, these people were chosen by Chu Zhangyang to enter the Holy City, so they didn't turn into zombies and survived.

Second, they were still firmly convinced of the supreme power of this deity at that time.

Under the dual pressure of gratitude and fear, the survivors in the Holy City dared not speak out what was in their hearts.

But now, because they had entered the territory of the Xingyang Civilization and had seen the weakness of Zhangyang God.

That tall envoy finally dared to vent his unhappiness.

After a silence, someone said slowly with a sad expression: "Anyway, whether Zhangyang God wins, or as the Xingyang Civilization says, the result after the arrival of the Silence."

"The entire universe will be doomed no matter what."

"We will naturally die too. It's just that I... I just Hope I can die as a believer of the Xingyang God!"

"Instead of dying like this, as a believer of an Evil God!"

Others expressed shock one after another, but not long after, they fell into silence again.

At this time, Chu Zhangyang, far away in the Zhangyang God Temple of the Holy City on Blue Star.

Also deeply felt that the decision he made to communicate with the mortal on the other side was very humiliating.

But words spoken are like water spilled. At this moment, he also knew that he had lost all his dignity among his own believers.

Therefore, he had been delaying the specific time of the negotiation.

A month later, Yu Lan hesitantly asked Chu Xingyang: "Great God, the false god wouldn't regret and break his promise, would he?"

Chu Xingyang smiled confidently: "He must regret it, but the negotiation will definitely start."

"He is deeply afraid of the Silence!"
