Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

#478 - Negotiation (Part 2)!

In the distant sky,

streaks of light soared into the sky, flying towards here like shuttles of light.

In addition, from the residences of the three major families, figures shot into the sky, gathering together.

"The main event has finally arrived." Seated Mountain Guest murmured softly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

His heart sank slightly.

In his vision,

the arrivals were arranged in echelon formation like a flying squadron, allowing a clear view of the entire formation.

Leading the way were a golden figure and a silver figure, both extremely burly and huge.

Behind them,

followed figures with auras similar to the axe puppets, a full dozen of them.

As for the third row… they were figures with much weaker auras, true human figures.

"With so many people gathered, it seems they've come with ill intentions!"

The Flame Dragon True God looked at the imposing figures, his expression becoming solemn.

"…" The Nether Orchid True God didn't speak, but her tense divine body revealed her unease.

They had already used nearly eighty percent of their strength to deal with the four universe lord-level puppets.

And now… the enemy's formation in front of them was clearly many, many times stronger than before.

A fierce battle was probably unavoidable… they could only fight desperately.

"…"

For a time, the air became silent.

Even time and space seemed to freeze at this moment.

Everyone present was deeply shocked by the sudden appearance of this scene.

They all looked up at the sky, silently watching the black shadows that grew from small to large, even able to hear each other's breathing.

Not a word was spoken.

Lin Ye simply watched the approaching crowd, clearly feeling that their auras were completely different from ordinary humans.

Still puppets!

And even more powerful puppets!

"Guardian puppets?" The three supreme puppets that Little Stone had just mentioned involuntarily surfaced in Lin Ye's mind.

If it really was them, then things would be bad…

"Master, the arrivals are indeed two of the three great guardian puppets, they've all come, and they're also carrying puppets like us."

Axe Puppet stepped forward, whispering in Lin Ye's ear, his tone extremely solemn.

Since being refined by Lin Ye and the others, those whose spirits hadn't been erased naturally knew who their true master was.

The past belonged to the past.

Now their new identity was as subordinates of Lin Ye and his group.

"This is bad, they feel much stronger than us, are we still going to resist?" The Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor transmitted to the others, giving his own suggestion, "Otherwise, let's just surrender!"

"Surrender? I don't think that's necessary!"

Lin Ye smiled, directly unleashing his secret technique again, fully displaying his Destruction Divine Body, facing the large group of puppets flying over.

Also erupting was his suppression and sealing secret technique—

“Rumble!!——”

Rolling, tide-like, vast divine power continuously gathered and gathered from the towering Destruction Divine Body…

When these divine power auras reached a peak, under Lin Ye's guidance, they fearlessly poured forward, trying to slow down the speed of these puppets.

More importantly, to test their true strength.

However.

Lin Ye's intentions had been completely understood by the other party.

"Hahaha, don't try to show off your petty skills in front of me!"

"Black Demon God, put away your probing!"

The dark golden puppet at the head let out a hearty laugh, seemingly not caring about this pressure at all.

Immediately afterwards, two blazing beams of light, similar to sword light, shot out from its eyes, directly launching out.

"Crack!"

In just one exchange, it broke through Lin Ye's blockade and suppression, and it looked very easy and freehand.

This was the huge gap from the realm, reflected in strength as easily countering moves.

"The methods of these guardian puppets are really extraordinary!"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ye's slightly stronger methods were broken, causing his heart to sink.

In the previous battles, these blockades and suppressions could easily bind even true god-level puppets.

But now, they were completely ineffective…

"Everyone, don't worry, I don't have any hostility in coming here, I just have some things I want to talk about and chat about with you."

"Next, I will have West Cliff Tower arrange a banquet, and we can chat while eating."

Even across hundreds of millions of kilometers, the voice was still extremely clear, resounding in the ears of Lin Ye and his group.

No hostility!

Not even a bit of targeting!

A very peaceful and strange remark that didn't cause Lin Ye to feel the slightest bit of discomfort or aversion.

Then, in everyone's sight.

This group, led by two powerful guardian puppets, directly changed direction and flew towards another direction.

This scene showed that they had no hostility at all.

"Since they've invited us so politely, then we should sit down and talk peacefully, right?"

Lin Ye smiled as he swept over Seated Mountain Guest and the others, directly asking the latter for his opinion: "Senior, what do you think?"

"The arrivals give me a very great threat, if there is a head-on conflict, there is an eighty or ninety percent chance that we will be defeated by them, and even severely injured, therefore my suggestion… is to have a good talk!"

After all, being able to solve some problems without fighting is a good thing for everyone.

Otherwise, meeting with swords and soldiers would be bad.

West Cliff Tower, entirely built on a huge immortal lake, surrounded by endless clouds and mist. Looking out from the tower, it feels like being in a fairyland.

This was also the location of this negotiation, located in the West Cliff family, one of the three major families.

An ancient palace treasure crushed through layers of mist, descending to the top of West Cliff Tower.

"Greetings, Lord Black Demon God!"

"By order of our family head, we are waiting for you here, please follow us."

Hundreds of beautiful maids, who had been waiting here for a long time, bowed in unison, their expressions all extremely respectful, clearly having been specially trained in advance.

"Understood!" Lin Ye nodded with a smile, looking very polite.

"Let's go, everyone!"

He led Seated Mountain Guest and the others out of the Kun Hua Palace, storing the treasure with a wave of his hand.

Behind them, the newly acquired powerful puppets all had calm expressions, as if serving a new master was just a normal thing for them, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following closely behind Lin Ye was that group of 'fiercely approaching' powerful puppets.

In the previous test battle, they had failed too thoroughly!

Even the three true god-level puppets and eighteen universe lord-level puppets had all been defeated in a very short time, which was enough to show the strength of this group of people.

And this 'Black Demon God' among them was even more terrifying, forcibly suppressing five puppets with his own strength.

It couldn't help but make these puppets take him seriously.

"A very impressive West Cliff Tower, truly worthy of being an arm of one of the three local families, very powerful!!"

Lin Ye was followed on his left by the blue-robed, bull-horned Seated Mountain Guest, and on his right by the snow-white Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestor, they walked and watched, clicking their tongues in wonder.

Such a feat, even looking at the peak groups of the original universe, might not be able to accomplish.

Just the twelve universe lord-level puppets in each family were enough to easily sweep across a peak force, making those universe supreme masters unable to resist.

This was the most accurate conclusion Lin Ye had come to after personally fighting them.

If it was a peak group like the demon race of the original universe, perhaps there was still a chance to compete with one of these three major families.

Replacing it with other groups, there was a ninety-nine percent chance of not being able to win, and they would probably be exterminated!

"Lord Black Demon God is too kind, this West Cliff Tower was built by our West Cliff clan after exhausting countless wealth and spending nearly three thousand years of the clan's heart and soul,

and then constantly refining it over a long period of time, transforming the surrounding environment one by one, to have such a scene!"

"Well, worthy of being one of the three major families, very powerful!"

Lin Ye looked at the cloud sea that floated like an illusion, gently nodding his head.

The feeling here was not inferior to the Chaos Ruins guarded by the Chaos City Lord, no mistake!

This could easily explain that in this cloud sea, there were probably some extremely powerful and terrifying existences hidden.

At least… they were also high-level universe lords comparable to the Chaos City Lord.

Soon, the group passed through pavilions and towers, bypassed long corridors and small bridges, and finally arrived at a pavilion on a misty lake.

Around them, the vast lake water was like blue crystal, gently rippling enough to make people's minds sway, involuntarily immersed in every ripple.

At the same time, layers of water mist continuously diffused from the lake surface, forming a Tyndall effect after being illuminated by the sunlight above, beautiful and magnificent.

"Hahaha, Black Demon God is indeed fearless, having just accepted so many of my puppets, and now daring to come to the meeting, I, Puppet Da, am truly impressed!"

A slightly hearty voice rang out like a loud bell, lingering in the ears of Lin Ye and his group.

They took a few more steps forward, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a loose dark golden robe, his hair casually scattered over his shoulders, walking over barefoot.

His eyes had heterochromatic pupils, black and white eyes also divided into gold and red colors, each occupying half of the upper and lower eyes, but his face was full of smiles, making people involuntarily feel good.

"A spitting image of the wild man Rong Jun."

Seeing this person's appearance, Lin Ye instantly thought of the wild man Rong Jun from the previous peak genius battle, wondering how he was now.

Putting aside unnecessary reveries, Lin Ye looked solemnly at the golden-robed middle-aged man who called himself 'Puppet Da'.

From the aura emanating from him, different from ordinary people, it could be easily judged that this was one of the guardian puppets Little Stone had mentioned.

And also the most powerful guardian puppet.

Beside him was a thin and burly young man wearing silver armor, he looked Lin Ye up and down, nodding his head: "The Black Demon God, who looks unremarkable, is hiding very strong strength, able to easily defeat our puppet battle formation and capture and refine them alive, truly a hero emerging in his youth!"

These two were the two guardian puppets discovered in the sky earlier.

And also the representatives of this 'negotiation'.

"You two are too kind! I'm just taking advantage of opportunities, it's nothing."

Lin Ye said with a smile, since they had taken the initiative to come and negotiate matters with him, he still had to be careful.

"Actually, we don't like any roundabout ways, just state the conditions directly!"

Just after taking his seat, the man wearing the golden robe said straightforwardly: "This negotiation is for us to invite you to join our Heavenly Chen forces and become our partners."

"What!? Partners?" Hearing these words, the two long, snow-white whiskers of the Starry Sky Behemoth that dragged on the ground stood up directly.

He looked at Puppet Da, who was speaking, with an incredulous expression, staring intently, his heart stirring up stormy waves.

"Genuine, it's a real partnership!"

The latter nodded lightly, saying with a smile: "After all, it's better to resolve feuds than to create them, we can discover your strength in the first stage of sparring, so naturally we won't continue to probe unreasonably!"

"What you said makes sense." Lin Ye glanced at Seated Mountain Guest, only to see the latter blink slightly, conveying his meaning to Lin Ye.

"Since they want to cooperate with us, then let's cooperate with them well."

This was a terrifying trump card left behind from an extremely distant era, absolutely countless times stronger than the two holy land universes of the universe sea.

Being able to cooperate with such a force, even if it was remnant, could still gain many benefits from it.

"This time I invited you to negotiate, I won't take advantage of you in any way, this is some of my small token of appreciation, take a look!"

Puppet Da gently waved his golden sleeves, placing the seven supreme treasures that had already been prepared one by one.

They were melee, armor, suppression, palace, soul… almost every type represented a category.

And from the aura emitted by these treasures, it could be easily judged their level—

Supreme Treasure!!

Without exception, all seven treasures were supreme-level treasures!

"These true god-level treasures are our greeting gifts!"

The golden-robed puppet said with a chuckle, not at all reluctant because of the preciousness of these treasures.

"Such a great gift… I'm afraid it's not good?" Lin Ye's gaze lingered on these treasures for a short while, and then he looked directly at this puppet leader, declining: "You give such a great gift as soon as you arrive, what virtue and ability do we have to accept it?"

"No no no!!"

Hearing Lin Ye's refusal, this puppet looked directly at Lin Ye, saying plainly:

"When we sent out that pile of puppets to test you just now, you had already proven your strength with facts, and…"

Pausing for a moment, his eyes swept over Seated Mountain Guest and the others behind Lin Ye, saying earnestly: "Moreover, you are only at the level of a universe lord now, and you can explode with such powerful strength,

"When you take another step to become a true god-level, then what an amazing combat power it will be, if you can successfully break through from a true god to a Void Realm powerhouse, then…"

Even this powerful puppet couldn't help but feel a sense of longing when it came to this.
