Martial God: Grinding from Mortal Flesh to Immortality

At the same time, all gazes were focused on the position where the two Galactic Life Forms were battling, awaiting the final outcome of this war.

Lu Sheng gazed calmly at the battlefield of the Galactic Life Forms, vaguely seeing bursts of dazzling brilliance. Within the brilliance, terrifying energy laws were interwoven.

Just by looking, a wave of emotions surged in Lu Sheng's heart.

"Galactic Life Form..."

Lu Sheng spoke softly, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

At that moment, a calm voice suddenly rang in Lu Sheng's ear.

"Lu Sheng!"

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Sheng trembled slightly, and his expression gradually grew solemn.

Because... this voice was all too familiar to Lu Sheng.

It was clearly the voice of the Devouring Realm Empress!

"I know you can contact Emperor Bai. Help me tell him that I do not wish to fight the Spirit of Illusion to the death. If possible..."

"I want to make a deal with your Human Federation!"

As soon as these words left her mouth, Lu Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.

The Devouring Realm Empress... wants to make a deal with the Human Federation?

Despite Lu Sheng's curiosity, it was clear such matters were beyond his reach, at least for the current Lu Sheng.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Lu Sheng injected his Qi Blood into the White Emperor's Order, conveying the words of the Devouring Realm Empress to Emperor Bai.

After listening, Emperor Bai pondered for a moment and quickly said, "I know about this. You just stay at the rear and wait."

After that, there was no more sound from the White Emperor's Order.

Lu Sheng placed the White Emperor's Order into the Five Elements Mini World and waited quietly as instructed by Emperor Bai.

In the dark expanse of the Star River Star System, Emperor Bai slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them.

"A deal? I wonder what the Devouring Realm Empress has in mind!"

"However... it wouldn't hurt to hear her out!"

Emperor Bai smiled slightly and his figure vanished into the dark void.

At this moment, the Spirit of Illusion, who was battling the Devouring Realm Empress, also heard Emperor Bai's voice in his ears. After listening, the Spirit of Illusion's face remained expressionless and merely stopped his actions.

With a calm gaze, the Spirit of Illusion said to the Devouring Realm Empress, "Just entering this realm and having such strength, I underestimated you!"

"Speak, what do you want?"

Their battle just now was merely a probe, not a full-force effort.

After all, the Devouring Realm Empress had just become a Galactic Life Form and did not want to fight to the death with another Galactic Life Form.

The Spirit of Illusion had no intention of doing so either, as he was not part of the Human Federation's Galactic Life Forms—he acted only as an ally.

The Devouring Realm Empress's face remained expressionless as she said lightly, "How about we gamble?"

"Gamble? But such matters should not be discussed with me. You should talk to the Human Federation."

The Spirit of Illusion's expression did not change as he spoke calmly.

After speaking, the Spirit of Illusion's figure instantly disappeared from the battlefield.

The Devouring Realm Empress didn't mind and spoke indifferently, her voice spreading across the entire frontline battlefield.

"If we continue fighting, both your Human Federation and our Void Insect Race will suffer significant losses. Let's keep this straightforward!"

"Five bouts of combat. Based on the outcomes, we determine how much territory your Forging Star System will cede to us!"

The indifferent voice carried an unmistakable tone of authority.

As the voice rang out, all Human Federation Transcendents on the front line showed expressions of disbelief.

"A gamble? Deciding the outcome of a war through a series of fights?"

"And... why should we cede our Human Federation's territory? According to the Devouring Realm Empress's terms, wouldn't we have to give up some territory no matter the outcome of the fights?"

"This Devouring Realm Empress... she is far too overbearing! Does she really think our Human Federation fears the Void Insect Race?"

Each of the Human Federation Transcendents showed a hint of indignation, clearly having a strong reaction against the Devouring Realm Empress's proposal.

Yet, despite their displeasure, the decision was not theirs to make.

In the rear of the Forging Star System, within the Ascension Factions, several Mechanical Star Bodies orbited the Cosmic Void, emanating strong auras.

These were the Mechanical Ascenders of the Ascension Factions.

Altogether, there were eighteen!

Eighteen Mechanical Ascenders, calmly looking at one another.

"What do you all think of the Devouring Realm Empress's proposal? Let's vote on it!"

One of the Mechanical Ascenders spoke unemotionally, without a trace of hesitation.

"I agree!"

"Agree!"

"Agree!"

One cold voice after another echoed, with the vast majority agreeing.

Only two Mechanical Ascenders who had just returned from the front lines had different views.

"Why should we agree? With the Spirit of Illusion fighting, and our Ascension Factions having endless potential, should we fear a newly ascended Galactic Life Form?"

One Ascender spoke with a hint of anger in their voice.
