Wu Shattered Star River

Divine Ruins Palace!

These past two days, Divine Ruins City has been extraordinarily lively. The Divine Ruins Palace issued an order that all leaders of Overlord-level forces in the Chaotic Star Sea must teleport to Divine Ruins City.

Not only forces from the Chaotic Star Sea, but also many heads of Overlord-level forces from the Kyushu Continent are rushing towards the Undying Hall and Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, eventually teleporting through Divine Ruins City.

The demon race issued an ultimatum, and Palace Master Xuan Yuan Yijian of the Divine Ruins Palace summoned the high-level officials of the human race's major forces to discuss countermeasures.

The high-level officials of the major forces in the Chaotic Star Sea arrived quickly. Within two days, all major forces, except for some powerhouses left behind, teleported their remaining high-level officials to Divine Ruins City.

The Palace Master of Divine Ruins Palace did not summon everyone, but instead told them to be patient and wait for the people from the Undying Hall and Heavenly Emperor Pavilion to arrive.

Everyone was well aware of the ins and outs of the matter. The conditions set by the demon race were clear, and many people had guessed some of the demon race's intentions.

The reactions of the major forces varied. Most of the high-level officials had nothing to say and insisted on going to war.

These three conditions were impossible to agree to, especially the first and second.

However, some Earth Immortals also put forward different opinions!

For example, the demon race did not actively attack Tianluan Island, but instead offered some conditions. Did this mean they didn't really want to fight a major war?

Were they just asking for some benefits? Or perhaps they wanted some face to report to the clan king of the Netherworld Demon Clan?

Therefore, several Earth Immortals suggested whether it would be possible to have a good negotiation with the demon race.

The demon race could ask for the sky-high price, and the human race could bargain on the ground…

Regardless of whether the negotiation succeeds or not, let's talk first…

After all, once a war starts, it will be a catastrophe for the people, and the barbarians and demons may participate at any time. When that time comes, the human race may face a disaster.

After these Earth Immortals brought it up, it quickly gained the approval of many people.

If war could be avoided, no one wanted to go to war. War means people will die, and their group of powerhouses will bear the brunt, and many will probably die.

Moreover, if the demon race and barbarian race were to participate, the situation would be out of control, and no one knew what the final outcome would be.

Let's talk first, and fight if we can't reach an agreement!

This suggestion was quickly approved by many high-level officials of the forces.

Of course, their approval was useless. In the end, they still had to wait for the people from the Undying Hall and Heavenly Emperor Pavilion to arrive to see what the three immortal-level forces meant.

On the fourth day, two super-large teleportation arrays in Divine Ruins City flashed continuously, and then teleported three times in half a day.

The Great Elder of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, along with the Great Elder of the Undying Hall, arrived here with their subordinate high-level officials.

Xuan Yuan Tian Dao, the Great Elder of the Divine Ruins Palace, personally led the team to greet them, welcoming the Great Elder of the Undying Hall and the Great Elder of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion into the Divine Hall, and at the same time summoned the high-level officials of the major forces in the Chaotic Star Sea.

He Ming was still in Divine Ruins City, and he was also summoned to the Divine Hall to discuss matters.

The Divine Hall is the main hall of the Divine Ruins Palace. This hall has tens of thousands of square meters and is very large. There are hundreds of square tables inside, and soon they are all filled with people.

At the top of the hall, there are three golden thrones. Xuan Yuan Tian Dao sits in the middle, Ji Hengchang, the Great Elder of the Undying Hall, sits on the left, and Fang Tian Leng, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion, sits on the right!

The heads of the three immortal-level forces did not come out, but instead let their respective Great Elders in charge of specific affairs come forward.

Xuan Yuan Tian Dao looks young, with the appearance of a middle-aged man, thick eyebrows and sword-like eyes, tall and mighty, wearing a black robe. Sitting there is like a high mountain, making people feel inexplicably oppressed.

Ji Hengchang looks like a young man in his thirties, but no one dares to underestimate him.

His eyes are cold, and there is a faint flash of thunder inside. Everyone who looks at him will feel inexplicably frightened.

Fang Tian Leng is not cold at all. He always has a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he doesn't have the aura of a powerhouse. He looks gentle and refined. People who don't know his identity would think he is just an ordinary middle-aged man.

"Everyone!"

Xuan Yuan Tian Dao glanced around majestically and said, "I believe everyone is clear about the matter. Let's discuss it."

"What's there to discuss?"

Si Wu Shen of Sword Demon Mountain took the lead to stand up and said, "The demon race is clearly trying to find an excuse to invade our human race. If they want to fight, then we will fight. We have no retreat, only a desperate fight!"

Si Wu Shen's words resonated with many people, and a group of Earth Immortals stood up and echoed Si Wu Shen's words.

Si Wu Shen is determined to fight, and his intention is obvious.

Because one of the three conditions of the demon race is to hand over Si Li. Si Li is the next generation mountain master of Sword Demon Mountain, how could they hand her over? Therefore, Si Wu Shen must express a tough attitude.

"Everyone, listen to me!"

An Earth Immortal elder with a long white beard from an Overlord-level force under the Undying Hall said, "If there is no room for maneuver, then we must fight to the end. This is related to our life and death."

"But if we can avoid war, then we must not fight. Once a war starts, and the demon and barbarian races join in, we may suffer a catastrophe."

"Therefore, my suggestion is to send someone to Tianyao Island to talk first. If the conditions are not too excessive, it is not impossible to give the demon race some benefits. Of course… if the conditions are too excessive, then I suggest fighting to the end."

"Elder Liu Rufeng is right, let's talk first, and it's not too late to fight if we can't reach an agreement."

"I also think we should talk first. The demon race is asking for the sky-high price, and we can bargain on the ground. It's not too late to fight if we can't reach an agreement."

"Seconded, support Liu Rufeng!"

Soon, a large group of high-level officials from various forces expressed their opinions. Although these people's meaning was very euphemistic, it could also be heard.

These people advocate peace, and even… are willing to pay some price and take the initiative to seek peace.

"Talk about what? What's there to talk about? Go over and beg for peace? If we beg for peace this time, will we have to beg for peace again next time? If we pay reparations this time, will we have to cede territory next time? After begging for peace again and again, will we have to give up the Chaotic Star Sea?"

"Elder Xu, your words are too extreme. We haven't even talked yet, how do you know what we can achieve?"

"That's right, send someone to talk, and it doesn't mean we have to agree to the other party's conditions. I just said that we will refuse if the conditions are excessive!"

"No negotiation, resolutely no peace, fight if you want to fight!"

"I think the demon race doesn't really want to fight. If they wanted to fight, Tianluan Island would have been attacked long ago…"

Inside the Divine Hall, the high-level officials of the major forces were arguing like a pot of porridge. Xuan Yuan Tian Dao, Ji Hengchang, and Fang Tian Leng sat there without saying a word, watching the noise in the hall.

After arguing for a full half an hour, Xuan Yuan Tian Dao finally raised his hand, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

All eyes turned to Xuan Yuan Tian Dao, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Ji Hengchang and Fang Tian Leng and asked, "What do you two mean?"

Ji Hengchang's cold eyes swept around the audience and said, "Let's vote. The minority obeys the majority!"

Fang Tian Leng showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, glanced at Ji Hengchang thoughtfully, but did not speak.

Seeing that Fang Tian Leng did not express his position, Xuan Yuan Tian Dao pondered for a moment and said, "Some people want to fight, and some people advocate peace. Then let's vote. Raise your hands if you agree to fight!"

Countless hands in the hall were raised, but a quick glance would reveal that the people who wanted to fight accounted for a small part, about 30%.

The others did not raise their hands, so naturally they were thinking of agreeing to seek peace.

Xuan Yuan Tian Dao glanced around expressionlessly and said, "Okay, Liu Rufeng! Since you were the first to suggest going to talk, then you can take a few people to Tianyao Island to talk. Provide timely feedback on the progress of the negotiations, and ask for instructions before reporting anything!"

"Ah?"

Liu Rufeng's face turned black. Is Tianyao Island a place where you can go casually?

What if the negotiations break down and the demon race uses his head to sacrifice the flag?
