Chapter 1964 Negotiation
After the war against the abyss, all the five people were dead except for Tang Wulin.
The Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie had transformed himself into the Sea God Douluo to fight against the Demon Empress who had already achieved true God rank. How much more powerful would he be now that his life force had been fully replenished?
The Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue had committed suicide for love, but she was the only quasigod-ranked powerhouse from Shrek Academy at the time. She was also the only Limit Douluo from Shreks older generation. How powerful was she as a Limit Douluo with twin martial souls?
At any rate, the soul beasts were more fearful of the other two powerful beings from the Tang Sect with their indomitable spirit.
Life could be heartless, but you might still meet people full of passion. Amorous love loathes itself for wrongly devoting love for the heartless, and emotions moved the heavens.
The horrifying martial soul fusion was so powerful that it withheld the mighty abyssal Sage King with his super divine weapon, the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss for three days.
If the person they chose to stop was the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena, who would then be the Golden Dragon Moon Song Tang Wulins opponent among the numerous powerhouses on the scene?
Hence, the soul beasts became solemn when they were confronted by the lineup despite having the upper hand.
The comparison of abilities was not determined by the number of people. It would be possible for the five great powerhouses from mankinds side to turn the tide.
At this exact moment, a silver silhouette flew out from the Spirit Pagoda.
She had silver hair and purple eyes. She was just as exquisite as before. She had been the idol of countless people in the past and was the goddess of youths.
The youths who had been enticed by her beauty were still in disbelief, although she now stood on the opposite side of mankind.
She had almost everything that a woman could dream of. She had exquisite beauty, an alluring figure, and powerful abilities to match a well-respected status.
Yet, everything changed when she revealed herself to be the Silver Dragon King.
The situation could now possibly turn into a collision war between the clans. On the other hand, such a war would determine whether mankind was doomed for extinction or strong enough to survive.
Although Gu Yuena was still very far away, Tang Wulins gaze had shifted to her the moment she appeared. It was due to the guidance of her aura. Their eyes met and their gazes appeared calm on the surface.
However, were they as calm in their hearts as they appeared externally?
The entire plain quietened down instantly. The legions from both sides stopped when they were about ten kilometers apart.
A gust of wind blew. A foul wind surged through the soul beasts legion. Deep roars were heard, and the soul beast legion became agitated as they casted their hostile gazes at mankind. They were waiting for the Silver Dragon Princesss order to wage a beast tide against mankinds legion.
Mankinds mechanized troops had already aimed all the cannons muzzles directly at the opposite side and were awaiting orders similarly.
Silver Dragon King! A clear voice echoed throughout the entire scene from a soul loudspeaker. It was precisely Mo Lans voice.
How may I help you? Gu Yuena could recognize Mo Lan naturally. With her perfect vision, she could see Mo Lan even if they were thousands of meters apart. She was also aware of the relationship between the newly-appointed speaker and Tang Wulin.
The outstanding people whom she described to Di Tian earlier included Mo Lan naturally.
Mo Lan said in a deep voice, The continent has just suffered an attack from the abyssal plane recently. It has just begun to recover. Are you trying to ruin the calm with your soul beasts?
Gu Yuena said indifferently, Your Excellency, you should understand why we are here. Youre right. We intentionally chose the present moment. Youve already lost a destructive weapon like the Eternal Heaven, and you dont have the support of the lord of the plane anymore. Our intention is to get an explanation from mankind today. All your present troubles are the result of mankinds actions.
Mo Lan responded, Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, I understand your point naturally. However, its a biased view. In ancient times, when the weak served as prey for the strong, how did the soul beasts treat mankind then? According to the historical records of the Federation, soul beasts dominated the entire Douluo Continent at a time when mankind served as the appendages of the soul beasts. You perceived mankind as weak, helpless beings. Mostly, mankind was considered food for the soul beasts. Can you tell me how many humans were killed for food by your soul beasts?
The conflict between mankind and soul beasts is definitely not caused by the soul masters need for soul rings alone. It isnt just now. The collisions between the two clans began in ancient times. However, the status quo is constantly changing.
Mankind may be weak, but we possess the creative power that you dont. We seized control of the worlds power gradually. With that, soul masters began to appear. We stabilized our footing a step at a time. The construction of our cities was to resist the slaughter of the soul beasts. For thousands of years, mankind developed at intervals and multiplied gradually. In time, we became powerful. I acknowledged that we got lost in the process. In pursuit of even more powerful abilities, we wreaked havoc in oppressing and slaughtering the soul beasts. On the other hand, we also put in our own efforts to achieve our objective. For example, the Spirit Pagoda was founded to replace the soul rings with man-made spirit souls.
Since then, both mankind and soul beasts attain higher levels of intelligence. Nevertheless, mankind still has a need for the soul beasts so as to maintain the ecological balance. Times have changed, from the mainstream status of the soul beasts in the past to mankinds oppression of the soul beasts now. Thus, the almost extinct soul beasts are now seeking revenge from us. Even if you manage to destroy mankind, will you be able to receive any good out of it? In any case, I dont think youre capable of annihilating mankind. You may be capable of matching mankinds tenacity and creative power. Even if you can control mankinds powerhouses to achieve your goals, youre still relying on mankind. Therell be another generation of mankind. Youve but a million soul beasts. Do you think youre capable of dominating the entire Douluo Continent? The lord of the plane has yet to disappear completely. Hes only in deep sleep. When the world loses its ecological balance, I believe that hell appear once again. Moreover, mankind still has two more continents, which are the Star Luo and the Dou Spirit continents. Even if youre capable of destroying us, mankinds revenge awaits you in the future.
Gu Yuena said in an indifferent tone, Dont think too highly of your lord of the plane. Even if he were to appear, he may not be able to stop our operation. Your Excellency, its useless to talk too much. Were not the same clan, and weve our own desires and appeals. The soul beasts want to return to this world to take back whats ours.
Brilliance shot out from Mo Lans eyes. Youre right about us having different desires and appeals. However, why cant we seek common ground while reserving the differences? We dont mind the soul beasts multiplying, but we need to come to an agreement to achieve peace. If Your Excellency Silver Dragon King is willing, we can negotiate to settle the differences now.
Negotiation! It was Mo Lans goal. She was aware of mankinds inferior position at present. Under such circumstances, she was negotiating to delay the opposing side. She was hoping to seek a common ground while keeping the differences. Perhaps, mankind would then stand a higher chance of survival.
She would never allow the war to proceed, if possible. Once the war began, the enmity between the two sides would only deepen. They no longer had a Godhood to resurrect the dead anymore. Hence, the best time to negotiate would be before the war commenced.
The beasts in the sky looked toward Gu Yuena. They were not bothered by Mo Lans declaration. The disparity between the two sides was rather huge still. Actually, they were more concerned about Gu Yuenas attitude. After all, she had a relationship with Tang Wulin. As it were, her attitude would determine it all.
