An evolutionary game starting from Suolongjing.

Chapter 753: Emperor You is narrow-minded, and Jiuzhou is not too big

reject?

From a personal standpoint and perspective, Zhang Ke is more inclined to agree.

After all, the reason why he chose to come to the Civilization Council with Haotian and others instead of continuing to expand the war recklessly was not so that he could digest the consequences of this war in a relatively mild way?
Although, from Zhang Ke's perspective, these words sound a bit hypocritical!

Not to mention those civilizations whose masters directly perished in this war and were the victims, even if it was an unrelated civilization, as long as the gods in their pantheon would not bear grudges against Zhang Ke, they would not mind spitting a few times to express their disdain!
But it is what it is.

Yes, he did hate non-human creatures. The monsters native to Jiuzhou and the wilderness were barely worthy of his attention. Whether he would take action depended on whether there were innocent human souls killed in the hands of the other party and how many sins the other party had committed. But for Zhang Ke, if he killed all ten creatures from other domains, some might be innocent, but if he killed nine out of ten, there would definitely be some that slipped through the net!
Different civilizations have shaped different values ​​and cognitions.

Even in Jiuzhou where the human race is far less pure than in ancient times, even the aristocratic families, landlords, and even some of the powerful people who are born in the future, no matter what their human nature is like in private, no matter how many evil things they do, at least on the surface they will try to build a perfect reputation of being kind to others, respecting and loving their fellow villagers, and helping others with charity.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there aren't despicable people who are bad to the core, but people like this are usually excluded by their own class. Not to mention ordinary intimate relationships, even marriage cooperation between people of equal social status will be subconsciously avoided. Such rampant people are usually the main targets of suppression by the government and the court!
Even if the imperial court is too late to take action, the vast land of Kyushu will have knights and warriors with chivalrous spirit to come and wipe out the evil and restore peace to the land!

Even if one is so cunning that one has high-ranking officials in the imperial court at home, and is protected by servants and high walls, one cannot escape the sweeping away of humanity brought about by the change of the throne and the reshaping of the world when dynasties rotate!

Of course, generally speaking, very few evil families can hide until the time of dynasty change.

If you really do bad things, the various resentments generated by your family will breed all kinds of rare but powerful demons and monsters to come and claim your life! Even if you are lucky enough to escape a disaster and barely save your foundation, you will still be attacked by the gods of happiness, wealth and longevity in heaven and the gods of the underworld who wander day and night.

Premature death, short life, infertility, and a series of disasters.
The moment when the three fortunes of happiness, wealth and longevity are reduced to negative, is also the time for the whole family to go to the underworld to be rolled out before the King of Hell in the Ten Courts of Hell?

hide?
What can you hide from?

Even the gods and emperors in heaven would be punished in various ways and sent to the mortal world to experience the sufferings of life if they accidentally made mistakes. How could a mere mortal rely on his greed for money, sex and beauty to escape the laws of the world and avoid the rules of heaven and earth?
Perhaps there are ways to make the gods turn a blind eye in this world, but obtaining the channels is as difficult as ascending to heaven. And even if there are some ways to fool the little ghosts and make the gods go along with the evil, how can you hide it from the countless immortals and gods?

The will of the great True Lords and the Heavenly Emperor cannot be shaken.

So, whether you say he is being hypocritical or he is doing it for the sake of profit, since he has the idea of ​​stopping the war, he must try to accept the other party's conditions.

Asking for a high price and paying back on the spot, since it is an exchange of interests, there is always room for negotiation.

Just as Zhang Ke showed signs of impatience and was about to overturn the table as he had done in the past, the foreign god opposite him stopped talking and sat down in silence.

It is possible that his reckless personality has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and his previous display of military power has made the gods even more afraid, but being able to sit at the table where everything is decided in the parliament, can he really be so easily afraid and have every request fulfilled?

Zhang Ke never overestimates his own wisdom, just as he will not compete with these old guys on any level other than force.

As a person who has experienced a hundred years of ups and downs, from Zhang Ke's perspective, in today's meeting where the atmosphere and process are extremely weird, the outer gods' retreat and fear of his repeated offensive actions must be less due to calculation.

Frankly speaking, the fear is real, but perhaps it is more of a use of inertial thinking to guide Zhang Ke and even Jiuzhou in the direction they expect?
The Warrior Association's sudden cessation may have confirmed Zhang Ke's guess. They have already expressed all their core interests in the terms that have been listed. Since the subsequent unnecessary additional terms have made Zhang Ke unhappy, there is no need to continue to be greedy.

After all, a transaction is a mutual test between two parties beyond their bottom line. Now that they have obtained the results they wanted, they naturally have to curb their greed a little, so as not to really anger Jiuzhou and start a war!

After all, no matter how much conspiracy and foresight the Outer Gods have, in the end they still have to pay a heavy price when facing Zhang Ke who has picked up the butcher knife!

If everyone were brothers and colleagues in the same civilization system, it would be fine. They could give it a try based on past relationships and trust. But the bad thing is that they come from different sources. Among the more than 130 seats present, even the area with the most seats only has 23 seats, that is, 23 lords of civilizations.

Judging from the data alone, the newly ascended Jiuzhou has more than twice the number of the other side, not to mention the wilderness where the old things have more hidden potential and deeper background.

But if we really talk about reality, we can't be so arbitrary.

The more complex the civilization system, the deeper its internal civilization structure and world heritage. The perfect system also indirectly builds a complete system tree. As far as the few seats with the largest system are concerned, the old Dengs in their own country may not be able to form an absolute level of crushing with the other side.

Strong is a given, but knocking someone out with one punch and being equally strong are two completely different things.
So, after pondering for a while, in the venue where everyone was paying attention, Zhang Ke stood up and walked to the front of his seat. He looked around the whole audience with his scarlet eyes, and said with a violent aura rolling in his eyes:

"I have no objection to the division of spoils. Once we have finished our selection, you Outer Gods can use and plunder as you please!

Of course, if you say the rules, then we will follow them, but if someone breaks the rules, Jiuzhou will not mind and will not accept invitations to fight and uphold justice!"

"As for extortion and tyranny, I am too lazy to argue with you about these things. History is always written by the victors. Whether it is justice or not is not someone else's turn to point fingers at me before I die. But I will not rashly provoke a war before Jiuzhou has digested the results of this war and completed the sedimentation of ascension. But the premise is that no one comes to provoke Jiuzhou, let alone plot against me. Otherwise, I don't have the good temper of my teachers. The rule of only punishing the main culprit does not apply to me. If we want to fight, we will fight till the sky is dark, and if we want to kill, we will kill them all without leaving any troubles!"

The words turned into golden light and condensed into a roll of paper in mid-air under the witness of all the gods. Invisible pen and ink depicted the power of authority on the paper, turning it into an unbreakable contract!
"This can be considered as an explanation of Articles 2 and 3 of the Warrior Association. If you don't take the initiative, there will be no suspicion of sudden declaration of war. But if you are offended, then it can't be called an unjust war, but just an extermination order? After a war, when the world merges, how many civilizations will retain the remains of the defeated and let them live normally in their own world in a nearly identical way? If anyone present can come up with one-fifth of the examples to refute me, then I will accept this, and what's wrong with not killing everyone in the foreign land?"

Zhang Ke looked at the Outer Gods in the seats, and his gaze stayed on the Outer Gods whose business cards were engraved with words such as justice, order, and kindness. He said, "So, out of more than 130 seats, only 12 civilizations can accommodate and take in refugees?"

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhang Ke really couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw the righteous messengers of the Outer Gods who stood up enthusiastically and looked back in disbelief at other allied Outer Gods amid Zhang Ke's unbridled laughter.

He was certainly not laughing at these benevolent, kind beings.

Even though they do not belong to the same civilization, and even though he has an inherent hostility filter towards foreign gods, it does not affect his respect for those who truly uphold the ways of justice and order!

It has nothing to do with faction. It is simply the common value of Kyushu people to show due respect to good people.

But after eliminating these more than a hundred foreign overlords, the remaining foreign gods who still possess positive emotional authority are somewhat laughable!
"All crows are black. Since we are all bastards who have destroyed our race, then let's cancel this project. After all, you can't ask me, a notorious disaster, to become a legitimate god, right? How is this different from asking a succubus to be a loyal heroine?"

"Emperor You, watch your words!" An Outer God who was crowned with the name of justice but had no real justice warned with a cold face: "Justice is not a good person who is rampant. He must bear the corresponding responsibilities and must pay an equal price. Justice and evil are incompatible. Anyone with a little conscience will know that evil must be eradicated. As for the existence of pure chaotic evil, even if it is a butcher who kills countless people, we will give a certain chance to tolerate mistakes and guide the lost lambs back to the right path."

"Puchi. Hahaha. Sorry, hahaha, I usually don't laugh, but I really can't help it right now?"

Zhang Ke, who was originally performing here with exaggerated acting skills, couldn't hold back when he heard the outer god explaining the definition of justice to him righteously.

justice?

evil?

If that is really the case, then he, who was dubbed the evil one by the entire void and even the ancient gods of the wilderness, can also be called pure justice and kindness. After all, everything he did was for the prosperity of Kyushu and the living environment of the human race. How could he be called extremely cruel and evil?
Just as he is a hero to me and an enemy to him.

Everything has two sides. If you only look at things from the perspective of your own interests, even the most heinous person can find a bunch of excuses to defend himself. Although he is not good at strategizing, he cannot be fooled by such a poor excuse.

The Outer God who said this regretted it as soon as he was interrupted by Zhang Ke's wild laughter, not to mention the other civilization leaders who followed and looked at him like a fool.

But what can He do?
He really couldn't help but be overwhelmed and said such brainless words. After all, what Zhang Ke said before was too rough. Except for not using any dirty words, he was simply pointing at their noses and cursing them. They are all the supreme rulers of a civilization, and they receive blessings and praises from God and the world day and night.

It's already unfair enough to be here and cooperate with the acting, allowing Zhang Ke to threaten and scold him in order to trick the other party into tying his hands and feet. Who can tolerate being fucked in front of him like this?

But he was not the only one who could not help himself, and he was the only one who really got angry and spoke first. Now he was humiliated and despised by everyone, so naturally he could not blame anyone.

Not to mention the ferocious-looking Outer God, since he had defeated a minor clause in the agreement, he was more confident about Zhang Ke:

"Without a ban on killing, I cannot judge between justice and evil. You cannot blame me for extermination, and it is baseless to restrict the whole world!"

"I agree that any war must have a legitimate reason, and I am willing to announce it to all parties in advance and notify the Civilization Council in advance. However, if any council member goes to help the other side in advance, don't blame me for not being careful when I catch him!
As for the compensation, if there is a world that can survive your invasion, then you can negotiate with me about compensation. Jiuzhou can accept the refugees, but the specific choice needs to be determined by the Heavenly Court. I can promise that I will not take action against those refugees, but if the other party violates the rules of Jiuzhou, or is killed by someone other than the gods of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, then no one else can be blamed!"

"Forget about the final apology. As the king of men, I can only kneel down for my race and admit my mistakes. No one else can bear the consequences. If you can accept this explanation, then let it go. If not, we can renegotiate. Anyway, there is plenty of time. If we delay it for a few more years, the Kyushu Wilderness can swallow up a few more civilizations. I am naturally happy to coordinate the explanations of the various clauses with you all!"

"Can!"

An irregular ball of flesh covered with eyes, the Outer God named the Blind Lord was the first to agree with Zhang Ke's statement.

He is the Lord of Civilization who is recognized by the mainstream in the Civilization Council as a chaotic evil camp, but precisely because he does not care so much about face, he is more likely to accept the answer given by Zhang Ke.

After all, his or most of the evil civilizations' goal is to stop Zhang Ke from waging random wars like a madman. Apart from that, it would be good if they could divide up the extra spoils. This means that as a more proactive aggressor, they can avoid the most intense and difficult stages of the conquest and go straight into the result of plundering the world.

What the evil side values ​​is tangible benefits, not false reputation.

Shortly afterwards, the Warrior Association, the initiator of the agreement, also agreed with Zhang Ke’s statement.

Although they had been threatened by Zhang Ke before, these stubborn warriors would not play tricks. As long as the war could be temporarily stopped and they could figure out a way to rise or cooperate with Zhang Ke, it would be more important than dividing up the defeated civilization.

After all, they are all reckless men. Challenging the strong and starting a war is an unchanging belief in their bones and blood. Now seeing the supermodel Zhang Ke, they naturally can't help but feel itchy. But no one is a fool. Wanting to fight against the strong does not mean that they are willing to become Zhang Ke's stepping stone. They were directly chopped into rebirth mode with a knife.

Now that they have this long-awaited opportunity, they naturally don't bother to argue with those face-conscious jackals. Even though it will take Jiuzhou a long time to digest the results of the battle, finding a way to fight against a supermodel is not an easy task. Time is pressing and not even a single moment can be wasted.

As for surrender, guarantees and the like, this is a draft of the agreement that was compiled (plagiarized) from versions of various groups of gods and then edited and revised by them. After all, you can't expect a group of reckless men to have too much diplomatic skills.

Since it was plagiarized, the modifications could be quite arbitrary.

Even if the interests of various parties were not difficult to coordinate, and if the Warrior Association had accumulated rich experience due to their age, they would not even mind standing on the side of Zhang Ke.

What kind of meeting is this?
Do you know what a warrior's glory is?
The winner should enjoy everything and should do whatever he wants. Should he negotiate?

Fuck cooperation!!!
Under the leadership of the evil side and the Warriors Association, several lords of civilization who held hegemonic positions chose to approve Zhang Ke's solution one after another. The dozen or so true gods of justice who had previously stood together lost interest in seeing the so-called betrayal of justice, and no longer had the mind to haggle with Zhang Ke.

With more and more people agreeing with the opinions, although the seats where people are still dissatisfied with the status quo account for one-third of the total, their opinions have become less important at this point.

After all, when the alliance breaks down, the so-called common progress and common retreat becomes a joke.

Instead of just holding on, it's better to give some face and go with the flow.

After all, they are all overlords in the civilization system. Their equal status means that they will meet each other sooner or later. Even if Jiuzhou went a bit too far this time, he should leave a way out so that he can avoid being targeted if he falls into trouble in the future.

What's more, although Emperor You has a narrow mind, Jiuzhou's mind is not much bigger either.

If I really insist on resisting, it will not be worth it even if Jiuzhou holds a grudge against me. Why not just let it go?
When the gods gradually gave in and one of the gods asked Zhang Ke to sign the contract, Zhang Ke waved his hand and said, "Now that you have made your demands, it's my turn!"

"Don't worry, I don't have as many fickle hearts as you do. I just have two things:

First, during my previous trip to the City of Desire, an evil thought left a shadow to provoke me. If it hadn't been for the previous chaos, there would have been no need for it. The four Outer Gods and the subsequent casualties were all caused by this thing. If you really want me to follow the rules and behave myself, find this rat and send it to me, or just give me the coordinates and I'll take its life myself!
Second, all human beings can be killed but not tortured, can be destroyed but not toyed with. Those who chant my name will be blessed by my human race. If there are good people, they can be sent to Kyushu, and I will exchange resources for them. But if you insist on slaughtering them, you and your allies should get ready and wait for me!

The player is not among them!"
