Chapter 214: Discussing with the Human Alliances
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It had a plethora of Third Realms and an innumerable amount of Fourth Realms.
It even had Fifth Realms which were more powerful… as well as a Heavenly King who managed the world of the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye.
How fearsome!
This Third Realm held captive was just a subordinate of one Fourth Realm aristocrat.
Discovering the world pa.s.sage that led to Earth and launching an invasion were all the doing of this Fourth Realm aristocrat.
w.a.n.g Hu felt a little relieved. Luckily, it was just a Fourth Realm aristocrat.
If it was a Fifth Realm or even the Heavenly King who discovered Earth…
The consequences would be unfathomable.
The power that these beings could deploy would far exceed that of a Fourth Realm.
If tens of thousands of Third Realms entered Earth, even w.a.n.g Hu would be toiled to death.
He felt this way also because of Silly Girl as this world was related to the world that Silly Girl used to reside in.
Otherwise, the Demon King of Nowhere from the Deep Abyss and the Dragon Clan world would be all the same as this Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye for him.
w.a.n.g Hu did not feel the same relief when faced with these two worlds, and he was ready to face whatever came.
One could only put it this way: the more one cared, the more they became worried.
w.a.n.g Hu regained composure and looked at Silly Girl. He said with a chuckle, “How formidable. Earth’s pressure will become even greater in the future.”
The carefreeness and confidence in his voice displayed his dominance. It made Di Baijun return to her senses. She looked at w.a.n.g Hu, and she pursed her hips, appearing to want to say something.
w.a.n.g Hu pretended not to see it and continued to read the information carefully.
A few seconds later, Di Baijun’s composed voice was heard, saying: “Of all the myriad of worlds, the Wild World was the most powerful. The Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye was powerful as well and has constantly invaded other worlds.
“Once the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye occupied a world, it would use a unique mystic technique to transform a portion of the creatures that they capture into the Heavenly Eye species.
“That’s why their speed of expansion was incredibly quick.
“However, the being that discovered Earth was just a small aristocrat from a Great World that was subordinate to them. Earth still has time to grow.”
As she said, Di Baijun’s eyes flickered, seeming to imply something.
w.a.n.g Hu pondered over it and became uncertain.
Was she implying that her family would be hard to convince, so she was reminding him to work harder and that he still had time to grow?
He blinked and looked at Silly Girl questioningly.
Di Baijun avoided his gaze and seemed to be guilty.
w.a.n.g Hu thought for a moment and decided not to ask. It would be futile to ask anyway. He decided to leave it until his combat power was strong enough.
He changed the topic and asked curiously, “Transforming a portion of the creatures into the Heavenly Eye species… will it also transform their way of thinking?”
Di Baijun breathed a sigh of relief to herself. She didn’t want to elaborate so much actually, but she couldn’t stop herself from overthinking when faced with matters that concerned her past.
She even unwittingly wondered: if the elders found out about the existence of this rascal, would they skin him?
Hence, she decided to borrow the topic of the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye to remind him.
It was in her favor that w.a.n.g Hu decided to change the subject.
After all, even with the appearance of the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye, it was still long before she could return to the Wild World and to the tiger species. She did not think she should share more.
After feeling relieved, she let her thoughts be distracted.
It might be quite interesting if those old codgers really found out.
Let’s see if this rascal dares to make me angry all the time if that happens?
And those old codgers… they always annoyed me and forced me to handle those annoying matters. Now that I have this rascal, I don’t have to fear the annoying matters anymore.
I could annoy them with this as well.
“Baijun,” w.a.n.g Hu called her softly.
“Hmm?” Di Baijun replied unconsciously.
w.a.n.g Hu became sure that Silly Girl was distracted just now.
Di Baijun looked at him sheepishly and felt a little embarra.s.sed. She immediately nodded and responded, “Yes, this mystic technique of the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye is really formidable. Although it does not compare to the technique of the Deep Abyss where it directly transformed one world demonic, it was also formidable.
“It could transform a creature’s way of thinking and make them think that they were Heavenly Eye species. In this regard, it was more powerful than the Deep Abyss.
“However, the mystic technique only had a success rate of 20%, and it could only be used for the first three realms. It becomes useless for beings of the Fourth Realm and above, so there is no need to worry too much.”
w.a.n.g Hu nodded as he listened. This made more sense. If there were no restrictions, then this mystic technique would be too incredible.
Other powerful influences that were equally strong would certainly not be content.
After a moment of silence, just as he was about to say something, his phone rang.
It was Dong Pingtao.
w.a.n.g Hu gave Silly Girl a look and picked up the call.
“Your Excellency.” Dong Pingtao’s voice remained composed as usual, but it also felt heavy.
“Yes?” w.a.n.g Hu said coolly.
“I’m sure Your Excellency has read the information that was sent to you.
“The Deep Abyss, the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye, and the Dragon Clan World…
“The human alliances discussed among ourselves, and we think that it’s time we have a proper discussion with Your Excellency.” Dong Pingtao was straightforward.
The gravity in his voice made it clear that the discussion was different from the previous ones.
w.a.n.g Hu’s gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly and became silent. The human alliances could not hold out anymore.
The Deep Abyss, the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye, and the Dragon Clan flashed across his mind.
He made up his mind. It was indeed time for discussion.
He took a look at Silly Girl and saw that she did not oppose. He said, “Sure, in two hours.”
“Okay, in two hours.” Dong Pingtao’s voice was laced with joy and relief.
The call ended. w.a.n.g Hu looked at Silly Girl and said, “The Deep Abyss, Dragon Clan, and now the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye… the human alliances cannot hold out anymore.
“After all, it would be impossible for their luck to always be this good.”
Di Baijun nodded to express that she understood.
Indeed, humans and Earth had been quite lucky in this aspect.
If the invasion of such a ma.s.sive scale this time came from the Deep Abyss…
They would certainly not enter Earth so recklessly. It would be unknown if Russia would even exist if that happened.
“Even though there are a number of human alliances and it’s not the time to cooperate wholly yet, we should not just leave it be,” w.a.n.g Hu continued to say with a slight sigh.
If the situation continued and the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye and the Deep Abyss were allowed to gain a foothold on the Earth, no party would benefit from it.
Hence, he could not continue to refuse the meeting this time.
Di Baijun thought to herself and did not oppose.
Soon, two hours pa.s.sed by.
w.a.n.g Hu arrived at the drawing room, and the video conference commenced.
Nine figures appeared on the screen; eight were elders, and the other was w.a.n.g Hu who covered his face with a golden glow.
Instantly, the eight pairs of eyes looked at w.a.n.g Hu with a smile and a friendly gaze.
w.a.n.g Hu glanced over nonchalantly. It was still the same eight people.
To think of it, it had been 11 years since the awakening of spiritual energy. Before the awakening of spiritual energy, these people should have reached the point of retirement.
However, after spiritual energy awakened, none of them had retired.
There were many reasons, but there were two main, important ones.
First, each of their countries was in a period of instability, and retiring would have huge implications. If they weren’t careful, it might even result in the destruction of their country.
Second, their lifespan had increased tremendously, which allowed them to continue their leaders.h.i.+p.
“Your Excellency,” Dong Pingtao did not beat about the bush and initiated the discussion: “And the other seven leaders… let’s cut to the chase…
“And get down to the main topic.”
The other leaders were not surprised to see a different att.i.tude from Dong Pingtao as they were all aware that the Tiger King disliked beating about the bush.
They nodded in unison to express their agreement.
w.a.n.g Hu nodded as well.
Dong Pingtao said in a solemn manner: “We all know the current situation of Earth.
“The invaders are powerful, and out of all the invaders, the Deep Abyss, the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye, and the Deep Abyss were the most formidable.
“If we allowed these three worlds to gain a foothold on Earth, the consequences would be unfathomable.
“We are all aware of the combat power of these three worlds. We are incapable of countering them with nuclear weapons.
“Once they figure out the situation of Earth, become prepared, and launch another invasion; we would be completely unable to defend ourselves.”
His solemn voice paused. Everyone, including w.a.n.g Hu, listened intently and did not interrupt his speech, which meant that all of them agreed with what was said.
Dong Pingtao continued to say: “Hence, the purpose of holding this meeting is to withstand the invasions of these three worlds.”
He finished his speech. w.a.n.g Hu’s expressions were unchanged and continued to be covered by the golden glow.
The remaining seven people looked graver.
“Your Excellency and all leaders, the reality is that there are many other powerful alternate worlds that we cannot defend against. It’s not only these three worlds.”
Suddenly, a voice was heard. It was from the Iran leader.
As he spoke, Dong Pingtao frowned and looked over at him. Then, Dong Pingtao looked at the other six, and realization dawned on him.
Seemed like these seven people had agreed to certain things in advance.
It was understandable.
However, they should not have tried to test the Tiger King.
These thoughts flashed across Dong Pingtao’s mind, and he continued to say: “Our meeting this time is focused on these three worlds.”
“Leader Dong is right, but we could also use this opportunity to discuss defending against all the other very dangerous worlds,” the Iran leader said. He appeared to look at Dong Pingtao, but he was also paying attention to w.a.n.g Hu with the corner of his eye.
The others were the same.
Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Hu—who had been unresponsive—snorted to himself.
This was the reason why he would not work with the humans now.
They were still divided even at this point in time.
For China, the Deep Abyss, the Holy Tribunal of the Heavenly Eye, and the Dragon Clan were the worlds that they were most worried about. They were not as anxious about the other alternate worlds and were still somewhat confident in withstanding their attacks.
However, for the other seven alliances, they were unable to defend against many other alternate worlds apart from these three worlds.
Hence, they attempted to sound him out and wanted to include the other worlds which were very dangerous to them into the meeting this time.
As for China, they certainly would not disagree.
Take the Hu County alternate world as an example; China did fight them off, but what about in the future?
What if they sent thousands of Third Realms next time?
China would certainly not object that everything could be discussed and settled through the meeting this time.
This was the trouble of having several voices. Before anything substantial even started, they had started to probe him.
It was too troublesome.
w.a.n.g Hu looked at everyone and said coolly: “Seems like all of you have not decided on the agenda of the meeting. I can wait till you have decided.”
As he said, he got ready to leave the video conference.
Immediately, a few of them panicked. The Iran leader quickly said: “I’m sorry, Your Excellency. We have already decided; it was just my personal suggestion just now. Your Excellency, Mr. Dong, I’m very sorry.”
The Iran leader stood out and apologized without hesitation.
The other men sighed to themselves. They felt disappointed that their probing failed.
The Tiger King was only concerned about these three worlds.
In other words, he did not intend on truly forming an alliance with the human alliances.
w.a.n.g Hu paused, and his gaze swept across the men. With a cool voice, he said, “Are you sure?”
The others nodded without any hesitation.
Dong Pingtao looked at the other men as well and spoke again in a solemn voice: “Please be a.s.sured, Your Excellency. We have already decided. The words just now won’t appear in this meeting again.”
“Sure. It is indeed time to come up with a solution to deal with these three worlds. Since you have invited me for a meeting, then please share your solutions with me,” w.a.n.g Hu said straightaway.
It was not the discussion style that everyone else was used to, but they had to hold it to themselves and adapt to it now.
They nodded and looked at Dong Pingtao. Clearly, the discussion with the Tiger King this time was led by Dong Pingtao.
Dong Pingtao was also straightforward and said: “Your Excellency, the solution that we have come up with is that our China Alliance would deploy elites to work with you to be responsible for defending against the invasions of these three worlds. The other alliances will support by providing nuclear weapons.”
w.a.n.g Hu did not appear to be surprised. He looked at Dong Pingtao and said calmly: “How many elites will China Alliance send?”
“200 Third Realms are ready to be deployed anytime, and they can accompany Your Excellency to these three worlds to repel their attacks,” Dong Pingtao said without hesitation.
w.a.n.g Hu stopped to think. Meanwhile, even though the other men were already aware, they still felt envy, jealousy, and heartache upon hearing it.
Envy and jealousy were easy to understand. Their total combined Third Realms could not even amount to half of China’s 200 Third Realms that were ready to be deployed anytime.
Heartache was even easier to understand. They had to sacrifice a lot to make China send so many elites.
However, there was no other choice. They had to come up with something to deal with those three worlds no matter what.
“What about in the future?” w.a.n.g Hu asked.
“As the spiritual energy density increases along with the power of the invasions from the three worlds, the China Alliance and the other alliances will continue to send more elites.
“At the same time, the benefits that Your Excellency enjoys will grow accordingly,” Dong Pingtao said seriously.
w.a.n.g Hu remained silent for a few seconds before saying: “What do I get?”
Everyone immediately became more nervous. They quickly focused as this was the most important part of the discussion.
The proposal of how to defend against the three worlds was basically decided.
Now, they had to satiate the Tiger King’s appet.i.te.
Dong Pingtao’s expression also turned more serious. He said slowly and clearly: “We have two offers. First, we calculate based on the strength of the invasions from the three worlds.
“For every Third Realm that Your Excellency kills or fights off, Your Excellency can get to have 75 kilograms of spirit stones.
“You also get pills ranging from the First Realm to the Third Realm—fifty pills, five pills, and half a pill respectively.
“At the same time, fighting off 10,000 Second Realms is equal to fighting off one Third Realm.
“The second offer is an annual payment of 15,000 kilograms of spirit stones, 10,000 First Realm pills, 1,000 Second Realm pills, and 100 Third Realm pills.
“Your Excellency may choose from the two options.”
As Dong Pingtao finished, he and the other seven men looked intently at w.a.n.g Hu.
w.a.n.g Hu quickly did a mental calculation.
