Chapter 551 - We Come In Peace (1/2)
"Strange, why did they went for the South Barren?", deep inside an inhospitable forest in the monster race, a beautiful woman raised her head and watched at the ten falling stars. Her eyes were filled with surprise as she mumbled, "The South Barren is the Zhong Li Celestial Race's homebase, although Lord Xia's spirit was sacrificed by Bi Xie Celestial Emperor, the Zhong Li Celestial Race still have the Martial Divine Masters and their own gods. They are one of the hardest bones to bite on. Why did they choose South Barren instead of Great Wilderness?
"In stark contrast, the Great Wilderness is the weakest and easiest to take on. The other races have their own ultimate means to protect themselves but the Great Wilderness belongs to the human race. Although they have many divine weapons, they don't have any gods nor do they have strong and prominent Qi Practitioners. What made them avoided Great Wilderness and chose the South Barren?
"Furthermore, that human brat of the Great Wilderness is the biggest enemy of our insect race!
The beautiful woman gritted her teeth hard and she mumbled to herself in deep hatred, "He has sabotaged my plans for so many times. I conquered the Gu Diao Celestial Race perfectly without anyone suspecting but he just had to expose me! Not only that, he is the one who destroyed the insect planet and nearly annihilated the insect race! He even dared to enslave our insect disciples and command them like his servants, he has also stole our divine weapons and used it for his own! If it wasn't because of the gods are still searching for me, I would have been to the Great Wilderness and kill him with my own hands already!"
There was another god standing beside the beautiful woman, he has a small body and short limbs. He asked, "Mother Da Zhen, shall we go to the South Barren and reunite with them?"
The beautiful woman was exactly the mother god Zhong Yue has encountered in the Gu Diao Celestial Race. After her identity was exposed, she has been wanted by the gods and had to hid herself in the dark ever since.
While when the insect god beside her who has possessed Yanmo Her was exposed and chased after by the Ancestral Star gods, she was the one who came to rescue him.
"Yes, we will.", rays flashed within Mother Da Zhen's eyes, she then sneered coldly, "They chose a wrong place to land, by landing there, they will have to face with a blood battle soon. This will cause the Ancestral Star gods to be galvanized into actions. However, with the two of us joining in the fight, we will have twelve gods all together. Even the Ancestral Star gods would have to reconsider their choices to go head on against us!"
She led the insect god and flew toward the South Barren, "With enough power, we will be able to initiate a round of negotiation. What can't be achieve with blood and metal, might be done through words and talks!"
The insect god was puzzled, he asked, "Mother, you mean…"
"Negotiate with the Ancestral Star gods, a godly war will be spared in return for a piece of land for the insect race.", Mother Da Zhen laughed smugly, "Also, they will have to hand out the Zhong Shan Clan member to us! The Ancestral Star races stands on their own, only when we war against them and threaten the well beings of the whole Ancestral Star would they cooperate and rise against us.
"While if we initiate negotiations with them, they will instantly be divided and shift their focus to their respective interests and benefits. In order to ensure their own interests and benefits, they will not hesitate in selling away even their own allies. I have been here for so many years, I know very well of the greeds in them all!"
The insect god exclaimed in shock, "Will they really hand out the Zhong Shan Clan member? Are they really willing to hand us a piece of land?"
Mother Da Zhen smiled back, "Fight with us, the gods die and some of the races might even be completely annihilated. Even a single race would have their own conflicts among one another, divine from within, let alone the many races in the Ancestral Star? Don't worry, I assure you that they will negotiate with us and the Zhong Shan Clan member will be handed out.
"Furthermore, after the Zhong Shan Clan member is forced out from Swords Gate, they will immediately pounce on Swords Gate and plunder all the wealth from Great Wilderness, like a pack of hungry wolves. I have seen way too many incidents like this happening in the Ancestral Star."
…
Soon after, the two have reached to the South Barren and joined with the other insect gods and mother gods. Mother Da Zhen has met with the other four mother gods and they had a small discussion. As a result of the discussion, Mother Da Zhen was appointed as the lead to the twelve gods. The first order she gave was to pass a message to the Ancestral Star, the message says, "Please believe us, we insect race are here to seek for peace!"
"The twelve gods are here to seek for refuge, we are here for a place to live, a place to settle in, not to fight for the Ancestral Star! We come in peace!"
"We twelve gods have no intention to wage war with anyone of you, we are willing to live in harmony, in peace. We are here, to negotiate, to resolve the long-standing disputes between us all!"
As the messages reached out to the whole Ancestral Star, the world was in a series of clamor.
The ten falling stars have immediately attracted the attention of the forces in Ancestral Star. The many races have sent out scouts to gather information. After all, the ten suns in the Ancestral Star not long ago have already tossed the Ancestral Star into a round of disturbances, making the many races in incredible tension.
This time when the ten falling stars have appeared, the Ancestral Star races thought it would be another ten innate spirit bodies that were emerging. The closest to the falling stars was the South Barren Zhong Li Celestial Race, they were also the first to reach to the crashing site.
While when the Zhong Li Celestial Race scouts have reached to the crashing site, they were all eaten away by the insect gods. The missing scouts have raised the attention of the Zhong Li Celestial Race's Martial Divine Master.
Before the insect gods and mother gods made any move, the Martial Divine Master have already found out their arrivals and gathered all of the gods in the Ancestral Star.
Right away, the Ancestral Star gods have came together in the Xiao Mang Celestial Race supreme temple in discussion.
But before the Ancestral Star gods were able to come out with a solution, the insect gods have told the world that they weren't here for a fight, but for peace. That they were willing to sit down and talk with the many races.
Of course, one who believes that the insect race was here in peace would either be a naive child or a pure idiot. But the fact that the insect race has no intention for a fight was still a huge surprise to the Ancestral Star races. After all, the insect race was a blood-hungry race, they kill and eat everything, including their own.
Thus, they were feared and despised by all of the races. After all, even the celestial race and demon race only eats the humans, not their own people.
Even a few celestia race were vegetarians.
Although they all knew that the insect race was not completely telling the truth, they would still go along with it. After all, the insect race has conveyed a very clear message, they have twelve gods on their side and if the Ancestral Star races doesn't want a peaceful settlement, they would not hesitate to wage war and cause a major havoc first before they were killed.
"Since the insect race has voiced their goodwill and is willing to resolve the disputes instead, we will not act viciously for a war either.", the Ancestral Star gods discussed among themselves and agreed. They told the insect gods, "Good. The peace talk will be held in South Barren's Heavenly Saint Palace."
A few days later, the twelve insect gods have descended in the South Barren's Heavenly Saint Palace and so did the eight Ancestral Star gods of the many races. At that point in time, the Heavenly Saint Palace have attracted the attention of the whole Ancestral Star, every single living in the planet had their eyes and ears to it.
As the ruler of the South Barren, the Zhong Li Celestial Race was facing with great stress. Messengers of the races were all over the places, conveying the latest updates back to their homeland, the Great Wilderness human race was no exception.
The arrival of the insect race was already a huge surprise to the Ancestral Star, while them asking for a peace talk was even more shockingly to the many races, but the Ancestral Star gods that actually agreed to have a settlement was truly trembling!
There weren't many gods in the Ancestral Star all together, thirteen went to the insect race and only one survived, in addition the seven gods that were in the Ancestral Star guarding over the Ancient Frozen Capital, only eight gods were alive now.
Clearly, even these eight gods didn't want to wage war against the twelve insect race gods. They would rather go for a peaceful settlement than a war that neither side would win.
