I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The unexpectedly emerging Insect Myth is indeed a bit of a nuisance.

Too few people can't beat it, too many and the opponent just runs away.

Even sending Innate Myth to fight is worrying as it might harm our Qi Fortune, truly a hot potato!

At this moment, Yuan Tie, the supreme leader of the Lin Yuan Clan, spoke: "The ruins of the Emperor indeed have some impact, but they are merely trifles. Try to appease it, give it a title, and avoid causing disturbances among crowds."

The keyword "appease" echoed in the hall, shocking all the elders present.

Immediately, someone started flattering: "Your Highness is wise; such trivial matters indeed aren't worth spending energy on investigating."

Yuan Tie said: "Our most important task currently is to excavate the space tunnel in preparation for the Buzhou Grand Festival."

"When the time comes, even if those civilizations unite against the Blood Sacrifice Rules, we will have a way to deal with it."

He waved his hand, and a massive flying boat descended from the sky.

The flying boat carried enormous stone sculptures, each generally three to five hundred meters large, resembling great mountains.

These sculptures have fierce expressions, lifelike, as if vivid creatures.

More terrifying is that there is an aura like killing intent on their skin, which is frightening just in its existence, causing life to wither and die when approaching.

An elder bowed, explaining to those nearby: "These are all owners of 'Infinite Qi' from Ancient Times, surviving through self-sealing during the Epoch Disaster."

"We discovered these sculptures in the Weaver's nest."

"Infinite Qi caused the Epoch Disaster, thus these sculptures are highly dangerous."

"Through experimentation, we found that once these powerful figures resurrect, the Ghosts existing on Pangu Continent will fight them to the death." Yuan Tie said coldly, "But Ghosts also take time to come, which is enough to intimidate all surrounding civilizations."

"What Insect Myth, it's not to be feared."

"Your Majesty, these strong wielders of 'Infinite Qi' belong to various different races; how can we make them obedient?"

Yuan Tie said: "It's simple, without a Blood Sacrifice, they can't maintain their will, will gradually lose their wisdom, and become beasts."

"Reestablishing Blood Sacrifice Rules is in our mutual interest!"

...

...

Unexpectedly for Lu Yuan, the revenge from the Ancient Races has yet to arrive.

Instead, a large batch of envoys for appeasement came.

[The world's trends, after a long period of division, must unite; after a long period of union, must divide. With the Epoch Disaster nearing again, only by united will can we resist the disaster.]

[Insect Myth, as an Ancient hero, if you can suddenly surrender, my Lin Yuan Clan will surely not pursue past issues...]

[This appeasement decree is specially issued, widely showing grace, with willingness for sincere treatment to jointly seek peace.]

"What on earth is this pretentious tone proposing?" Ancient Insect couldn't understand.

"The general idea is to give you an Insect Race General title... officially you're under the management of the Ancient Races."

Ancient Insect immediately became furious: "This group of cowards dares not start a war, actually resorting to such absurd tricks! What does an emperor have to do with me?"

Its six insect legs moved violently, wishing to stomp the envoy reading the appeasement decree to death.

Even the so-called 'envoys' weren't from Ancient Races, but were a technological civilization that took refuge, roughly possessing third-level civilization power.

They had bat wings and looked somewhat disreputable.

"Don't be angry, listen to their conditions. We can just take the benefits and not the disadvantages." Lu Yuan quickly calmed it down.

Smitten by the allure of money, Ancient Insect immediately came to a realization, solemnly speaking to the bat creature: [I'm the former general of the Emperor, what can you offer to recruit me?]

The bat creature paused: "Accepting the financial audits of Ancient Clan, whatever you sell, we have to account for it."

[What? You're not only not paying but want me to pay taxes?] Ancient Insect's fury scared the bat creature to trembling.

The fellow quickly pleaded: "Lord of Insect Myth, we're merely employed; even if you kill us it's pointless."

"Moreover, the lord spoke, exempting your taxes... Ancient Races are also willing to provide some valuable materials in exchange for Divine Skills, are you willing on your end..."

"We also have Immortal Level materials here..."

Lu Yuan was instantly tempted, thinking to himself: "These Ancient Races indeed lack personnel; otherwise, they wouldn't resort to appeasement..."

As for financial audits... it's easy to fool, just use Dream ability to hypnotize them."

Worst-case scenario Lu Yuan also had Control ability, controlling some Ancient Races so he wouldn't morally have to reveal anything.

However, "appeasement" holds real political significance; once Ancient Insect is appeased, it changes how surrounding civilizations perceive it.

Ancient Insect represents the faction of Emperor; once defected, it might spark a huge chain reaction.

[Lu Yuan, what to do? They want to trade! Immortal Materials, my Underground Alliance is very scarce!] This fellow indeed fell for it, looking both worried and anxious.

Lu Yuan got an idea: "[Insect Race General] isn't acceptable, let them recognize you as [Insect Race Emperor] instead... you must align with them, avoiding hierarchy dynamics. Understand?"

[Insect Race Emperor] is a parallel relationship, the political influence won't be as offensive.
