Chapter 1057: Putting Grudges Aside for the Sake of Interests
"In recent years, Biluo has caused such a great commotion in its campaigns across the Ten Thousand Worlds, of course, there will be many powerful beings who, through various means, have come to understand your plans and are aware of your origins!"
The Earth Mother Goddess said: "Especially the Wizard Clan, who suffered such a significant loss at your hands; how could they possibly let it go without retaliation?
However, those few Wizard Kings are not reckless. They know that with their current strength alone, they cannot contend with you, so they have turned their attention elsewhere.
Even the one who went to the Original Star Domain merely attempted to see if they could find any of your enemies.
If they can find them, that's great. Even if they can't find your adversaries in the Original Star Domain, they have other backup plans!"
At this point, she paused her speech for a moment. Seeing that Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan didn't respond, she simply smiled lightly and did not keep him guessing, directly saying: "The seventh Monarch of Hell was used by you, so it's quite normal for him to take actions against you out of unwillingness.
However, ultimately, he was severely injured and could not control the entire situation. After having his subordinates relay messages, he never appeared again. In fact, those Wizard Kings are the ones who took advantage of the situation behind the scenes to incite those Great Demon Kings and Great Monarchs of the Dark Camp to covet Biluo.
They found that after the seventh Monarch of Hell had his subordinates spread unfavorable news about you, they cleverly utilized the greed of those Demon Kings to deal with you. Even if I didn't come today, you would soon receive the news, at which point you would inevitably have to retreat!"
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan said: "Both the Wizard World and the Light God Realm have suffered significant losses, even though we are currently invading the Light God Realm, and the three great worlds of the Dark Camp cannot intervene. But they should have aimed at the Wizard Great World; why target my Biluo?"
"There are naturally quite a few reasons. Firstly, among these great worlds, each restrains the others. They understand the ins and outs of the Wizard World, knowing how significant a cost a strong attack would entail. Without the certainty of completely conquering the Wizard World, they wouldn't easily launch an attack there, at most taking some advantages in the vassal worlds.
But most importantly, the Natural Divine Realm will not sit by and watch the Wizard World fall into their hands. As soon as they show signs of a major attack on the Wizard World, the various deities of the Nature God System will surely intervene to block it."
The Earth Mother Goddess looked at Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan, with a slight smile on her face: "Just like how we have come here now to prevent you all from completely taking over the Light God Realm, it is impossible to let them occupy the Wizard Great World.
Due to its peculiar nature, the Abyss Lords are highly independent and impossible to rally together for full-scale external warfare, so even if some Abyss Experts join the expedition camp, there would not be many. After all, they still have to guard against their territory being taken by other Great Lords.
Thus, naturally, with only the Demon Realm, Hell, and a handful of Abyss Lords involved, without the assurance of dealing with both the Wizard Clan and my Nature God System simultaneously, it became logical for them to fixate on your foreign world!
Moreover, with those Wizard Kings scheming behind the scenes, analyzing your strengths, the only defender in the Biluo World now, aside from that expert integrated with the World Will, is a Creation Sovereign, making it naturally more susceptible to the Dark Camp's coveting!
Besides, sooner or later, you would eventually leave, so why not offend you; what harm would it do? Can your foreign world, while withstanding the Order Camp, still launch an attack on the three great worlds of the Dark Camp?
Whether or not you have the strength, even if you abandon targeting the Light God Realm and the Wizard World to focus entirely on the Dark Camp, do you think the Wizard Clan and the Light God Realm will obediently retreat into their worlds and watch your struggle?"
The Earth Mother Goddess' words were remarkably pointed, and the many experts of the Biluo Camp naturally understood the implications.
Biluo itself is an outsider without much rapport with the six great worlds here, having waged wars that devastated both the Light God Realm and the Wizard World, even inciting internal conflict within the Natural Divine Realm through Biluo's divide-and-conquer strategies, leading them into significant turmoil as well.
Those Wizard Kings, being all highly intelligent, quickly grasped this point and turned their disadvantage around, directing the Dark Camp, initially focused on them, towards Biluo.
After all, regardless of whether the Dark Camp sought to deal with the Wizard World or the Light God Realm, it would attract the attention of the Natural Divine Realm. The Order Camp, to avoid annihilation and to prevent this Star Domain from succumbing entirely to darkness, would certainly provide assistance.
However, Biluo is different.
As an outsider, and having offended every faction of the Order Camp, it naturally became the easiest target to bully.
Even though the Biluo Army currently seems mighty, could it possibly rival the three great worlds of the Dark Camp, not to mention their many vassal worlds brimming with endless military resources!
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan remained silent for a while, then looked up at the Earth Mother Goddess and said: "What you've said isn't enough to make us withdraw from the Light God Realm; in fact, it only strengthens our resolve to occupy this realm!
Otherwise, once the Wizards bring those people from the Original Star Domain, it would severely reduce our preparation time. Hence, this isn't enough to make us stop; conversely, we must augment Biluo's power in a shorter timeframe to contend against formidable foes in the future.
As for those beings of the Dark Camp, as long as they do not launch a full-scale attack, just a few Great Demon Kings are not enough to shake Biluo's foundation!"
"I know, nor do I expect these reasons to stop you!"
The Earth Mother Goddess nodded lightly and continued: "Actually, my real purpose for finding you this time has three points, one is to dissuade you from continuing your invasion of the Light God Realm, and the second is to discuss cooperation with your realm!"
"Cooperation?"
Even with Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan's temperament, he felt somewhat astounded upon hearing this: "Are you saying the Nature God System wants to cooperate with my Biluo?"
"That's correct!"
The Earth Mother Goddess nodded.
"Why would you want to cooperate with us? Our two realms don't seem to have a harmonious relationship!"
"Haha, in the face of the big picture, what do a few conflicts matter!"
"How do you intend to cooperate? Against whom?"
"Naturally to target the great worlds of the Dark Camp!"
The Earth Mother Goddess smiled lightly: "Now that both the Wizard and Light God realms have suffered from your invasions and have significantly declined in strength, even my Natural Divine Realm has experienced internal conflict due to your instigation, resulting in the fall of many deities!"
Though it was mentioned face-to-face that Biluo had instigated the internal conflict within the Natural God System, the expression on Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan's face did not change in the slightest.
Of course, the Earth Mother Goddess did not dwell on this either, after all, some powerful figures in the Natural Divine Realm couldn't resist the temptation back then and first coveted Biluo, so Biluo's actions were seen as self-defense.
She then continued, "The three great worlds of the Order Camp have each suffered losses, while the Dark Camp remains intact. With this shifting balance of power, prolonged time is unfavorable to us.
Thus, I want to join hands with you against the Dark World; at the very least, we need to restore the balance of power between our camps to its original state!"
"And the benefits?"
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan raised his head and asked, "In fact, our Biluo doesn't necessarily have to be at odds with the Dark Camp. If the Wizard Clan can come up with a way to draw the Dark Camp's attention towards us, we also have a way to ally with the Dark Camp and have them continue targeting the Order Camp.
So, if the Earth Mother Goddess wants us to give up the benefits we're about to gain, and join forces with you to fight the Dark Camp, she must provide us with enough reasons; otherwise, this is not very worthwhile for us."
"There will certainly be benefits!"
The Earth Mother Goddess smiled slightly, "At our level, apart from seeking that elusive supreme realm, we can only pursue matters within the world.
Since I've personally come to discuss these things with you, I naturally won't refuse to sacrifice, but these need to be discussed slowly and aren't suitable to be announced publicly.
However, before discussing these, there's one more thing to mention!"
"What is it?"
"The Destiny Goddess left the Divine Realm previously. She should have fallen into your hands, so I ask you to release the Destiny Goddess of my realm!"
The Earth Mother Goddess said, "The Destiny Goddess is an indispensable existence for my Natural Divine Realm, so she can't be lost. Please return the Destiny Goddess to our realm!"
"Destiny Goddess?"
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan raised his eyebrows, looked back into the realm, and his gaze fell on Qin Feng.
"That's right, it's him. The Destiny Goddess should be with him!"
The Earth Mother Goddess followed Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan's gaze to Qin Feng, and said, "Although her presence is very faint, I can sense that her soul body hasn't completely dissipated.
If you are willing to exchange the Destiny Goddess with me, I am willing to make more concessions in the alliance!"
"Oh?"
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan nodded slightly, not agreeing directly but instead said, "Let me inquire!"
Inside the realm, Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan's true form looked at Qin Feng and asked, "The Destiny Goddess is with you, and her soul spiritual light hasn't dissipated?"
Qin Feng nodded, "Reporting to Ancestor, the Origin Spiritual Light of the Destiny Goddess is indeed still present!"
Speaking of the Destiny Goddess, he still felt quite respectful.
This goddess is indeed an Eternal Peak being who governs fate. Even though she has been suppressed in the Demon Refining Pot for all these years, and the pot has been refined by him into an Eternal Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Destiny Goddess still manages to sustain without her origin being depleted, and there is still a Destiny Principle protecting her spirit light.
Despite being busy with battles over the years, Qin Feng hasn't spent much effort on refining the Destiny Goddess and instead let the Seven-Colored Flower Artifact Spirit absorb and refine her. Yet, the fact that the Destiny Goddess can endure for so long is quite remarkable!
After all, the Demon Refining Pot is not an ordinary Magical Treasure. It contains not only nine layers of space, and the Seven-Colored Flower as the Artifact Spirit can invoke the Principal Powers of the Space Dao to suppress and refine, and also utilize the strength of all Spiritual Beasts of the nine-layer Grotto Heaven as support. Any other eternal being would have long been dispersed and extinguished.
Qin Feng even suspected that the Earth Mother Goddess appearing at this critical moment might be a ploy left by the Destiny Goddess beforehand. Otherwise, her arrival would be too coincidental.
Because the Destiny Principle Power that guards the soul spiritual light of the Destiny Goddess is almost at its limit. If the Earth Mother Goddess didn't come, it might completely dissipate in three to five months!
"You've heard the Earth Mother Goddess's words too. Are you willing to make an exchange?"
"Everything shall be decided by the Ancestor. It is merely an Eternal Primordial Spirit. If it can bring more benefits to our Biluo, why not hand her over?"
"Good!"
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan nodded slightly, "Rest assured, I guarantee this won't put you at a disadvantage!"
"Yes, thank you Ancestor!"
Qin Feng said, "However, the Destiny Goddess, after being suppressed in the Demon Refining Pot for so many years, has been entangled with the Seven-Colored Flower Artifact Spirit. Releasing her will take some time."
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan glanced at him, couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Actually, there's no need for that. Since the Earth Mother Goddess has made a promise, she won't go back on her word.
But since you've said so, it's also fine to return her after everything has been discussed."
Clearly, he saw that Qin Feng was worried that if he relinquished the Destiny Goddess first, the Earth Mother Goddess might turn back, so he considered keeping the Destiny Goddess temporarily as a bargaining chip.
"Pardon me, Ancestor!"
Qin Feng didn't show a hint of embarrassment, "As long as there's no contract, no Dao Oath established, anything could change. The exchange of interests between two Great Worlds is not trivial, Fa expects things to be prudent!"
There's also one phrase he didn't voice, but all present Great Powers understand; Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan is the foremost figure in Biluo, his face must not be lost. In contrast, Qin Feng, as an emerging figure, even if he seems to use petty thoughts on noble intentions, the Earth Mother Goddess couldn't say much against him.
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan nodded and pointed, as a celestial palace emerged from the void.
"Earth Mother Goddess, and all Daoist Fellow, please follow me!"
Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan raised his hand and invited the Earth Mother Goddess and several Natural Sovereigns into the Immortal Palace.
Within the Light God Realm, Ghost Ancestor and Mituom Buddha exchanged a glance, each sending a clone flying out of the realm, entering the Immortal Palace.
Such a significant matter, they as Creation Ancestors of Biluo certainly must participate.
Although Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan is the highest power in Biluo, the entire Biluo Great World isn't solely governed by him; other Creation Great Powers certainly have a say.
Moreover, if other conflicts of interest are involved, various Creation Ancestors will convene all sects' Ancestors to discuss.
