BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1017 : Raising the Price
They naturally understood the situation.
The second realm was once the Strength race\'s territory and they had a deep relationship with it, but now that it was just a dead star, it didn\'t have much strategic significance.
Although they could revive the second realm through divine items, it would take an incomparably long time.
Just like what the four-winged Sky race member had said, even if they could successfully take it down, there would still be great danger in the future.
In contrast, if they could seize the Dark race\'s Primal Chaos Star, not only would it weaken the Dark race\'s strength, but they could also regain their footing in the high-dimensional cosmic!
Kill two birds with one stone!
"It\'s easier said than done." Kansa snorted.
"The second realm borders the Hades Star and is the heart of the Dark race. It is heavily guarded and has powerful combat prowess. The Supreme of the Dark race who refined the Hades Star has already broken through to become the strongest expert. It\'s impossible to take it down." Ahlan was very calm.
"The Hades Star is off the table, of course," Wang Ye replied.
"The journey from the second realm to the Nine Calamity Star is long, and the risk of being exposed is huge. Although the forces in the Nine Calamity Star are independent, their combined combat prowess is no less than that of the Hades Star. The master of the Nine Calamity Star is an Ancestral God of the Dark Race, so it\'s impossible to take it down as well." Ahlan was very familiar with it.
"That\'s right." Wang Ye nodded.
"Natural Star..." Ahlan paused. "It\'s very far from the second realm. Without exposing ourselves, it\'s impossible to reach it. Once the strongest expert enters the second realm, it\'s impossible to hide-"
Ahlan stopped abruptly and stared at Wang Ye.
She understood the four-winged Eternal\'s thoughts.
He had the divine item, the divination astrolabe!
"No." Ahlan shook her head. "The Dark race is very protective of the Natural Star. The surrounding space and time are sealed. We can\'t enter with the divination astrolabe."
"Can\'t we enter from the Nine Calamity Star?" Wang Ye asked.
"You have a way?" Ahlan\'s eyes lit up.
Wang Ye nodded. "It\'s not difficult. The Sky race has already infiltrated the Dark race\'s territory. With the divination astrolabe, we\'ll get to the Natural Star through the Nine Calamity Star. The plan is perfect."
Ahlan nodded thoughtfully. "If that\'s the case, there\'s indeed a chance."
"But we still need to discuss the details," Wang Ye said. "For example, the timing of the strongest expert\'s appearance, the plan to lure the enemy, how to effectively contain the Dark race\'s army, and so on. The refiner of the Natural Star is a peak Supreme who hasn\'t broken through to the strongest expert level yet.
As long as you\'re willing to pay the price, you have a chance to take him down by force. In this aspect, you should know better than me."
A serious expression appeared on Ahlan\'s face. She nodded. "Your proposal is very constructive. Give us some time to discuss it."
"Alright." Wang Ye said.
...
Wang Ye was naturally confident.
Although the details of the cooperation between the Strength race and the Spirit race weren\'t clear, the plan to attack Natural Star was obviously more helpful to the Strength race.
Moreover, both the divination astrolabe and the territory in the Nine Calamity Star were something only he had. The Spirit race could not replicate them.
The Strength race\'s teleportation passage was probably something the Spirit race used for themselves. They had probably shared it with the Strength race.
However, the Strength race had no qualms in breaking their promises. Since they could break their deal with him, they could naturally break their cooperation with the Spirit race at any time.
What they cared about was to maximize their own interests!
As expected, very soon, Ahlan brought two Supremes of the Strength race over to negotiate.
"The Leader has agreed. We\'ll fulfill all three conditions that you\'ve discussed with us before," said Ahlan. "We\'ll hand the things over to you before the plan begins."
Wang Ye smiled.
Ahlan\'s heart tightened. She instantly understood the meaning of this smile.
The current situation was different from the past.
"Alright, tell me your request," said Ahlan.
"I won\'t take advantage of you. I won\'t charge you by the head." Wang Ye said. "One price. Just pay it directly."
"Sure." Ahlan sighed silently.
She knew that they were going to be ripped off this time.
If she had known earlier, they should\'ve just stuck to the deal with the four-winged Sky race member.
After going around in a circle, they still couldn\'t escape.
"First, I want 1,000 advanced-rank saint path martial techniques, 100 top-rank saint path martial techniques, 10 ultimate-rank saint path martial techniques, and one final-rank saint path martial technique." Wang Ye said.
"Why don\'t you go rob others?!" Kansa blurted out with a flushed face.
"Second, I want 100 Venerate-level Chaos Fruits, 10 Supreme-level Chaos Fruits, and one strongest expert-level Chaos Fruit. All of them must be of the willpower type," Wang Ye said.
Yes, he was asking for an exorbitant price.
What\'s wrong?
Since they broke the contract, couldn\'t he raise the price?
"This is ridiculous!" The other Supreme of the Strength race, Supreme Cornell, shook his head.
"Thirdly, I want to borrow troops. After you guys settle down on Natural Star, I want to borrow your strongest experts and Supremes," said Wang Ye. "Don\'t worry. They\'ll only be used to deal with the Supremes of the low-dimensional races."
Ahlan was expressionless but her heart was in turmoil.
Too ruthless!
This was a dozen times more demanding than the conditions they had discussed before!
Unfortunately, the reason was indeed not on their side, because they were the ones who broke the contract first.
Most importantly, this plan was irreplaceable to them. It was much better than attacking the second realm.
"Let\'s discuss it first," said Ahlan.
"Alright." Wang Ye smiled.
Raising the price on the spot did not mean that it was the final price.
After all, he didn\'t want to lose his ally, the Strength race.
He just needed to take a \'little\' advantage of them.
...
After negotiating for three days, the two sides finally came to an agreement.
This time, both parties initiated a Divine Oath Deed to ensure that the transaction would proceed.
"Here are 300 advanced-rank, 30 top-rank, and 3 ultimate-rank saint path martial techniques, as well as 20 Venerate-level and 2 Supreme-level Chaos Fruits. I\'ll give you the other half when the plan is officially implemented." Ahlan gave Wang Ye a storage ring. "As for borrowing troops, inform us when you need them. Ten Supremes will help fight for you. The time limit is a hundred years."
"Happy cooperation." Wang Ye smiled.
As expected, he still had to force them.
The Strength race had many good things.
Their saint path martial arts techniques were all pure material, which was an excellent supplement for the Primordial Star. The ultimate-rank saint path martial technique was even more precious.
As for the willpower-type Chaos Fruit, the Strength race did not have many.
These were all they had.
In particular, each of the two Supreme-level willpower-type Chaos Fruits had a 50% chance of allowing the Primordial Star to produce a Supreme!
When the plan was initiated, there would be two more.
In other words, it was very likely that two Supremes would be produced in the Primordial Star soon!
That is, as long as they weren\'t too unlucky.
The most important thing was their promise to lend troops.
Ten Strength race Supremes were not only combat prowess but also a deterrent to the high-dimensional races.
Once the war between humans and the low-dimensional races broke out, the Primordial Star, which had five chaos realms, would be the first to bear the brunt.
At that time, Supreme-level combat prowess was of utmost importance!
"This time, the Primordial Star will soar." Wang Ye was very satisfied.
...
Activate cooperation mode!
Wang Ye took the initiative to help, using the divination astrolabe to help the Strength race transport the goods.
It had nothing to do with him wanting to familiarize himself with positioning before heading to the Primeval Cosmic Sea.
It was mainly because he was kind-hearted and had an excellent character.
He also befriended the Supremes of the Strength race to make it easier for him to gather information.
Although the Strength race was rich in schemers, some were not that bright.
For example, Kansa, who had fought with him before.
Their friendship bloomed from the fight.
After the two sides agreed to cooperate, Wang Ye and Kansa had a few more spars.
Kansa\'s personality was not bad. They became friends through martial arts, and each admired the other.
Kansa admired his strength.
Wang Ye admired his innocence.
"Are you going to inform the Spirit race about the change in plans?" Wang Ye asked.
"I don\'t know. It\'s not my business. The Leader and Ahlan will handle it," Kansa said.
Wang Ye nodded. "After changing targets, your success rate will be much higher compared to when working with the Spirit race."
"Isn\'t that so? So what if the Spirit race occupies the first realm?" Kansa said. "We now have the chance to take down the Natural Star and re-establish ourselves in the high-dimensional cosmic!"
Oh? The Spirit race\'s goal was the first realm?
Wang Ye\'s heart moved.
So, this was the content of their cooperation with the Strength race?
Connecting the first and second realms was indeed a good idea but not a good plan.
The Spirit race definitely had a follow-up plan.
"How do you usually contact the Spirit race?" Wang Ye asked.
"They will come to us. The Spirit race is well-hidden," Kansa said. "We don\'t know where they are."
Wang Ye nodded.
No wonder Ahlan preferred to cooperate with him. She could sense that the Spirit race was not sincere.
Although the Spirit race had helped the Strength race, the cooperation was not necessarily sincere. It was more likely that they were using them.
"Ignore them. Let\'s take down Natural Star together!" Wang Ye said.
"Yes! We\'ll let the Dark race see how powerful the Strength race is!" Kansa\'s battle intent was overflowing.
...
Wang Ye stayed in the Brightmoon Highland for decades.
On one hand, he discussed the details of the attack with Ahlan.
On the other hand, he wanted to obtain information and secrets about the Spirit race.
He also learned a lot of information about the Primeval Cosmic Sea.
These were hard to come by.
The Spirit race\'s plans and goals were still uncertain, but he already knew where they were hiding. They were on the Spacetime Star.
"The Spirit race conceals themselves much deeper than the Strength race. There\'s also Spiritual Empress, whose abilities in all aspects are unfathomable."
Wang Ye had interacted with the Spirit race many times. They were very difficult to deal with and even more difficult to work with.
No wonder Brother Tree asked him to come to the Strength race.
He had successfully walked the path of the Strength race, but what about the Spirit race?
Wang Ye sighed.
Although he didn\'t like the Spirit race, they gave the Sky race a lot of pressure.
If humans could cooperate with the Spirit race, it would be beneficial for both sides.
"No matter what, let\'s settle one side first." Wang Ye and Ahlan discussed the time and place.
He then left the Brightmoon Highland, carrying the many treasures from the Strength race. He would give Second Senior Sister a big surprise when he returned.
Relying on others was not a long-term solution. Only by relying on oneself could one truly stand straight!
"Two Supreme-level willpower-type Chaos Fruits. As long as one succeeds, it will be enough!" Wang Ye was looking forward to a new Supreme being produced in the Primordial Star.
