Chapter 3212 - Time Limit of Five Centuries
Chapter 3212: Time Limit of Five Centuries
Very soon, the contract was complete. Witnessed by everyone, they came to a new agreement.
The first batch of God Tier heavenly resources contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi from Xuanhuang Microcosms had been delivered to the Spirits’ World under the personal watch of Chaotic Primes.
The ancestor of the Dire Wolf clan checked through these heavenly resources personally and made a note of them, using it as a measure to decide how they would divide their profits from the Darkstar World.
“It’s actually all low grade God Tier. There’s not a single mid grade God Tier heavenly resource. These items are relatively common as well. Sigh, you people sure are stingy.” The ancestor of the Dire Wolf clan sighed gently as if he was slightly disappointed. Only after confirming there were no mistakes did he stow all of them into a Space Ring before making a clansman of the Dire Wolf clan deliver it into the Darkstar World.
The Darkstar Emperor remained exactly where he was in the Darkstar World with his face sunken, staring straight at Jin Hong.
Jian Chen did not leave either. He also stood at the edge of the barrier, standing with the Darkstar Emperor with the barrier separating them. He was behaving like he just could not leave Jin Hong here alone.
They were separated by a barrier. As long as Jin Hong remained inside it, the Darkstar race was unable to harm him unless they cast the ultimate curse. However, Jian Chen was still worried about anything unexpected happening.
The Darkstar Emperor wanted to see Jin Hong leave with his own eyes, while Jin Hong was waiting for a reply from the outside world. For a moment, the three of them just stood there silently. The atmosphere became rather awkward.
Suddenly, Jin Hong’s expression changed. He said, “There’s news from outside.” As soon as he said that, he left. Very soon, he returned to the Darkstar Emperor with the reply from the outside world. His expression was rather strange.
“Darkstar Emperor, this jade slip is the ancestor’s personal reply. I have to hand it to you. The resources in these three Space Rings are also what your Darkstar World is in urgent need of. The ancestor has especially instructed me to give all the resources in these three Space Rings to the Darkstar race for free.” As he said that, Jin Hong flicked his finger. A jade slip and three Space Rings passed through the barrier, hovering before the Darkstar Emperor.
The Darkstar Emperor accepted the jade slip calmly. As for the three Space Rings, he directly ignored them.
The information in the jade slip had been personally left by a Grand Prime ancestor of the Dire Wolf clan. In a short moment, the Darkstar Emperor had viewed all of the details inside.
His expression immediately changed. He hesitated.
The change in the Darkstar Emperor’s expression made Jian Chen curious. He had no idea what Jin Hong’s seniors had said to the Darkstar Emperor to actually make him waver slightly despite how firm his stance had been.
The Darkstar Emperor seemed to enter some kind of conflict. He spent an entire hour considering it before finally making some kind of decision. His tense expression suddenly loosened up, and he let out a great sigh. He said to Jin Hong, “The Grand Prime ancestor of your clan is swearing in the name of his predecessors that you won’t do anything that harms our race during the time you remain in the Darkstar World. Your ancestor has also provided us with a large quantity of resources that we lack in exchange for you staying here for a temporary period of time.”
“And this period of time is five centuries at most. Within these five centuries, if Jian Chen leaves this world, then you must leave with him. If Jian Chen still hasn’t left the world after five centuries, you’ll still have to leave. Otherwise, we will cast the ultimate curse to have you wiped from existence.”
The Darkstar Emperor’s eyes shone with a strange light. “I don’t know why your ancestor is trying so hard so that you can stay here, but I must admit that our Darkstar race is extremely tempted by the conditions your ancestor has put forward.”
“Due to the laws set down by the Grand Exalt of the Wood Spirits, my clansmen struggle with breakthroughs regardless of their cultivation. Whether they’re at Godhood or below Godhood, every single minor breakthrough requires the assistance of some special pills or heavenly resources because they drastically increase the chances of success.”
“And our race is incapable of producing these heavenly resources. Even some of the crucial materials that go into refining these pills must be imported from the outside world. Your Dire Wolf clan has provided us with these exact materials.”
The Darkstar Emperor’s gaze landed on the three Space Rings hovering before him. He became rather dazed. “If I agree, the resources in these three Space Rings will only be the first batch your clan provides for free. For the next ten thousand years, your clan will provide us with the same amount of resources every five centuries.”
“Our race is suffering from a severe vacuum in strength. We’ve sustained severe losses. I must admit that I am extremely tempted by the resources your Dire Wolf clan is offering. These resources are basically exactly what we need. Especially after severing contact with the outside world, these resources have only become even more precious.”
“You have five centuries at most. Five centuries. Even with your exceptional talent, that’s not enough time for you to grow to a point where you’re beyond my control. On top of that, a Grand Prime ancestor of your Dire Wolf clan has sworn in the name of your predecessors too.”
The Darkstar Emperor sighed gently. “So be it. I’ll accept these resources, and I’ll allow you to stay here for five centuries. However, that’s given you only remain within the Two World Mountains. You are forbidden from setting foot in our territory.” Towards the end, the Darkstar Emperor’s gaze suddenly sharpened.
“That’s not a problem. Unless I have permission from your Darkstar race, I will not set a single foot in your territory,” Jin Hong said in guarantee. He had already received the most recent news from the ancestor of the Dire Wolf clan. His mission this time had changed. His goal was not to establish ties of trade with the Darkstar race anymore.
Instead, it was to remain within the barrier and focus on cultivating!
The Darkstar Emperor looked at Jian Chen and gave off a natural sense of authority. He said firmly, “Jian Chen, I require a promise from you as well. Once this person does anything that harms my race, you will assist us in capturing him and enduring any future threats that may arise.”
Jian Chen nodded. He said calmly, “I am basically allied with the Darkstar race now, so you don’t have to worry. As long as I am still in the Darkstar World, I will face all the threats from the outside with you. As for brother Jin Hong, if he really does anything that harms the Darkstar race, I won’t be able to harm him due to our personal friendship, but I will throw him out of here by force.”
“Alright, I believe you!” The Darkstar Emperor left here with the three Space Rings, leaving Jin Hong with five centuries at most.
With the Darkstar Emperor’s departure, Jin Hong let out a sigh of relief before falling backwards in dejection.
“Jian Chen, there’s one more thing that you need to help me with, or our Dire Wolf clan will probably be in a lot of trouble.” Jin Hong looked towards Jian Chen wryly.
