Under Xiong Zhong's lead, close to twenty Origin realm elders and protectors from the World of Forsaken Saints had gathered in the city lord's estate in Flame City. Only a portion of the elders and protectors from the World of Forsaken Saints had entered the city to participate in the negotiations. Other than the protectors and elders in the city lord's estate, there were over a dozen Origin realm experts from the World of Forsaken Saints outside. If something happened during the negotiations that led to a battle, the people outside would provide support.
On the Tian Yuan Continent's side, Yang Lie, Feng Xiaotian, Guihai Yidao, Houston, Xiao Jin, Xiao Ling, the White Tiger, Tie Ta, Poseidon, and the four brothers had all arrived. All the Origin realm experts from the four races aside from Jianchen and Shangguan Mu 'er were present. Everyone understood that the World of Forsaken Saints was not only asking for the territory of the Tian Yuan Continent, but also the territory of the three other races. As a result, the Hundred Races, the magical beasts, and the Sea race would all participate.
Let alone the tremendous population of the World of Forsaken Saints, just giving up a portion of the Tian Yuan Continent's territory was not enough to satisfy them. Moreover, if the Tian Yuan Continent gave up a portion of their territory and the three other races did not, the humans of the Tian Yuan Continent would find it unfair.
As a result, the humans of the Tian Yuan Continent and the three other races had already discussed the matter of giving up a portion of their territory to the World of Forsaken Saints. However, they still needed to reach an agreement on the exact amount.
They were not giving up the territory this time because of how powerful the World of Forsaken Saints was. Instead, it was because of their great contribution in stopping the crisis of the world. Several tens of thousands of Sainthood experts, several Receival experts, and a Returnance elder had sacrificed themselves, allowing the Primordial Godsilk in Jianchen's hands to possess sufficient power, allowing it to survive the crisis and save all the lives in the world.
The Origin realm experts of the two worlds sat across each other in the city lord's estate. All of them were stern. As the World of Forsaken Saints had invaded the Tian Yuan Continent before, they had accumulated some grievances. As a result, they did not exchange any pleasantries when they met, causing the atmosphere in the city lord's estate to become rather heavy.
Xiong Zhong glanced past the experts of the four races before him. When he discovered that Shangguan Mu 'er was not present, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "May I ask if all of your people have arrived? Can we begin the negotiations between our two worlds? "
Aside from Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling, who studied the experts from the World of Forsaken Saints curiously, everyone else looked at each other sternly. The status of the Origin realm experts of this world was slightly different from the Origin realm experts of the World of Forsaken Saints. The World of Forsaken Saints was like a tremendous empire, and the Spiritking was the emperor, the absolute ruler. The other Origin realm experts were divided into protectors and elders according to their strength. If the Spiritking was not present, the only other person from the World of Forsaken Saints who had reached Reciprocity, Xiong Zhong, would be the leader.
On the other hand, the Origin realm experts of the four races were all sovereigns on the Tian Yuan Continent's side. Even though there was a great disparity in strength, they all possessed the same status. None of them had the right to order anyone else around. Now that Xiong Zhong had asked a question, the first person to answer would possess a special level of significance.
The first person to speak would obviously have some degree of authority in the negotiations between the two worlds.
Gradually, more and more gazes gathered on Tie Ta. Now that Shangguan Mu 'er was not present, Tie Ta obviously became the most powerful person present with his strength. It would be more appropriate for him to speak at a time like this.
Tie Ta also realized what everyone was thinking, so he just closed his eyes and expressed that he wanted to be a listener. He knew his limits. He knew that he only had talent for battle and did not have the ability to negotiate.
"It's a pity that Shangguan Mu 'er isn't present. Houston, you'll be the temporary representative for the negotiations this time. May I ask if the others have any objections?" The Sea Goddess transmitted her voice to everyone. She directly named Houston, who was dressed in sackcloth and whose hands were still stained with mud.
Houston's strength was extraordinary, and he had experience as a leader. The Bloodsword sect had once shaken up the entire Tian Yuan Continent under his leadership. He was a resourceful person.
Naturally, no one had any objections to letting Houston be the negotiator for this realm for the time being. In terms of strategy, there might not necessarily be anyone who could surpass Houston. It was just that ever since Houston went into seclusion a thousand years ago, he had hidden all of his sharpness and lived an extremely low-key life. If he acted as the negotiator, everyone believed that he would do his utmost to protect the interests of this realm.
After all, the amount of land the World of Forsaken Saints needed needed to be resolved through negotiations.
Houston nodded slightly. At that moment, his eyes were no longer gloomy and cloudy. Instead, they had become brighter. A sharp light flashed through his eyes as he said to Xiong Zhong, "If it were not for the crisis of the world, we would have fought to the death if your World of Forsaken Saints wanted to invade our land. It would be very difficult to say who would emerge victorious in the end. After all, your Spiritking is no longer invincible."
Xiong Zhong and the other elders frowned slightly when they heard that. A sliver of displeasure appeared on their faces, but they couldn't find any words to refute Huston's words because he was telling the truth.
"The reason why we're able to sit at the negotiation table this time is because of the great contributions that the tens of thousands of people from your World of Forsaken Saints have made for the crisis of the world. Their sacrifice is admirable, and it's exactly because of their great contributions that the four races of our world have agreed to give up a portion of our land to your World of Forsaken Saints. However, the land won't be very large, so I hope you can be mentally prepared," said Houston.
"This is a map we've prepared. We've already marked out the regions we want. Take a look. If you have no objections, we can reach an agreement as soon as possible," Xiong Zhong said emotionlessly. Xiong Zhong said emotionlessly. At the same time, he took out a few blueprints that he had already drawn up. Under his control, the blueprints slowly flew before all the Origin realm experts of the four races.
When the Origin realm experts opened the maps, all of them frowned aside from Tie Ta, Xiao Jin, Xiao Ling, and the four brothers. This was because the regions marked out on Xiong Zhong's map actually took up half of the territory of each race.
"Coincidentally, we've prepared a map as well. It's also marked out the other regions we'll be giving to your World of Forsaken Saints. Please take a look," said Houston before passing a map to Xiong Zhong. They had prepared several maps like this. Every single one of them had been created after the Origin realm experts of the four races had discussed it. The regions marked out on each map were different as well.
