Ao Gu and Feng Ling didn't say a word.
They were almost lying on the scroll, carefully studying every single word of the contract Ji Hao wrote, trying to find out if any sentence in the contract contained any potential clauses that were disadvantageous to them.
However, ancient divine characters were created by the will of the world. As long as one's soul was strong enough to withstand the profound mysteries of the world contained in them, one would be able to see through all of them with a single glance.
Studying carefully for quite a while, Ao Gu and Feng Ling nodded. They raised their heads and glanced at each other.
Ji Hao remained silent. He held his hands behind his body, silently looking at Ao Gu and Feng Ling. This was the best clause he could think of, for the humankind and for himself. To deal with 'Blood Crown', who was about to descend, and to wipe out all non-humankind beings who had invaded Pan Gu world after this great war, Ji Hao even considered making sure that Si Wen Ming could safely inherit the throne after this great war.
Strength and influence, Ji Hao now possessed a decent personal strength, but he still needed a strong force to deal with all future dangers.
The dragon-kind and phoenix-kind coveted the benefits of the heaven and came to Ji Hao. Therefore, they had to pay a price. The dragon-kind and phoenix-kind had always been strong, and were used to taking benefits from the humankind. But this time, they wouldn't be able to gain anything from Ji Hao.
If the benefits offered by the dragon-kind and phoenix-kind could satisfy Ji Hao, it wouldn't make any difference to the humankind whether the divine emperor of the heaven would be a human being or a dragon, a phoenix, or even some other kind.
Therefore, the clause he wrote was clear, without any trap. This was the fairest, most open, and absolutely impartial contract Ji Hao had ever made in his two lives.
"The conditions are quite good." Ao Gu flicked his finger on the scroll, looked at Ji Hao, and said slowly, "But, I'm not in a very good mood."
"The clause is clear." Feng Ling's tone was exactly the same as Ao Gu's. She was judging Ji Hao with a trace of arrogance and scorn, which only belonged to ancient monsters. Carelessly, she shook her head and said, "But, I don't understand. Where did Emperor Hao get the confidence to negotiate with us?"
Ao Gu said with a darkened face. An indescribable fierceness silently attacked Ji Hao, like an undercurrent from a bottomless abyss. "Emperor Hao, you luckily attained the world edict, and are now the only divine emperor in the world. But in the end, you're nothing but a small Marquis Yao. Your territory is small, your people are poor, your army is weak, and you're alone … How dare you extort our dragon-kind and phoenix-kind like this? "
Feng Ling slightly shook her head, smiled, and said, "Master Ao Gu, don't be angry. Kids don't know any better. Just teach them a lesson. Why don't we change the terms, Emperor Hao? For example, you can stay in the center of the five divine emperors in the heaven. As for the other four divine emperors, we, the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind, can distribute them among ourselves. "
Smiling, Feng Ling amicably pulled the sleeve of Ji Hao's coarse long robe, slightly smoothing the wrinkles on it, and said, "Don't mention anything else. We, the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind, will help you sit on the throne of divine emperors. In exchange, Emperor Hao will contact the divine emperor and ask him to appoint our dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind as new divine emperors. What do you think?"
Ji Hao looked at Ao Gu and Feng Ling, speechless.
They were robbing Ji Hao, but how did it turn into extortion?
However, Feng Ling clearly told Ji Hao, 'Kid, you don't have a solid foundation. If you don't cooperate with the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind, you, as a new divine emperor, might not be able to sit on the throne.'
Back in the prehistorical era, the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind did have ambitious dragon emperors and phoenix emperors. They led their armies and fought against the heaven. As descendants of Pan Gu's bloodline, added with the talents of the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind, they never suffered a loss when fighting against the heaven. On the contrary, they gained small advantages many times.
Back then, their glorious achievements made the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind proud today.
They didn't even take the real divine emperors seriously. Ji Hao, a little human kid, became a divine emperor by luck … They had already given him enough face to talk to him as an equal. How could he dare to talk terms with them?
Ji Hao helplessly gave a bitter smile and said, "Since you two elders have said so, I really don't know what to say. Are you … "
Ji Hao, who was still smiling, abruptly changed his tone. His face was filled with a fierce aura of killing as he said in an extra cold tone, "Are you going to kill me? My elders, don't you think you're thinking too much? Aren't you being too naive? "
The other six powerful beings from the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind, who were forced to turn their heads away by Ji Hao's divine spell symbols, looked at him together. The eight powerful beings from the dragon-kind and the phoenix-kind surrounded Ji Hao and sneered scornfully.
A beautiful phoenix lady pointed at the scroll in Ji Hao's hands and said coldly, "Ji Hao kid, we've shown you some respect, but don't push your luck. Destroy this inexplicable Heaven and Earth Contract, then obediently do as we say, and we will ensure your safety on the throne of the Celestial Sovereign. Otherwise … "
"If not, hehe, your grandpa Ao Ku will let you know why dragons and phoenixes were the main characters of the world back in the ancient time, while you human beings could only kneel and cry under our feet!" said an old dragon standing beside Ao Gu with a weird voice.
Licking his mouth corners, Ao Ku continued proudly, "You don't want to see your father beheaded by your grandpa Ao Ku, do you? You don't want to see your mother crying in my grandpa Ao Ku's arms, do you? Hehe, I wonder if you have children. If you do, your grandpa Ao Ku likes your tender flesh and blood as well! "
Ao Gu smilingly shook his head and interrupted Ao Ku, "Alright, you're all ancestors now. Don't scare kids with the ridiculous things you did when you were young."
Smiling, Ao Gu looked at Ji Hao, sighed, and said, "Emperor Hao … Ji Hao kid, you're not qualified to bargain with us. So, you'd better listen to old woman Feng Ling's words and listen to us obediently. Hehe, phoenix-kind people are more or less soft-hearted, but our dragon-kind only care about results. We're never afraid of using any means. "
Ao Ku laughed out loud. He looked around and suddenly saw Shaosi, who stood on the fiery cloud of the nine dragons chariot.
Pointing at Shaosi, he laughed, "Ji Hao kid, this girl has your scent! Is she your woman? Haha, if you still don't agree to my conditions, hehe, your grandpa Ao Ku will put on a good show for you right now! "
Ao Gu laughed out loud, and so did the other two powerful dragons.
Feng Ling and the other three phoenix-kind beings curved their lips downwards and snorted.
Ji Hao narrowed his eyes, grinned and said, "The right to bargain? Is this enough? "
The Pan Gu bell suddenly appeared in Ji Hao's hand. He raised the bell and smashed on Ao Ku's head.
Along with a shrill howl, the million-strong army around the nine dragons chariot was sent flying up. A big half of Ao Ku's head was broken. He fell from the cloud and created a giant hole in the ground while crying.
