Stone Forest City, Ling Yi's Residence:
As Shifeng pushed open the doors to the Residence's top-floor reception room, two sharp auras locked on to him. These two auras could sense his every movement. Judging by their combat standards, they were definitely Domain Realm experts.
At a glance, he noticed three people seated in the room.
Aside from Gentle Snow, there was also a man and a woman. Both players radiated dense, dark energy, so dense that it was almost tangible. Even players who could not sense the energy of darkness could see the faint, black fog swirling around the two players. It was as if the two players were the embodiment of darkness.
The woman was a Dark Knight in her thirties. She was also a rare Dark Werewolf. The aura she radiated was not much weaker than Gentle Snow's, who wielded a Fragmented Legendary item.
Moreover, a pointy-eared old man in black robes and wielding a pitch-black wooden staff stood beside the old man. Due to his aura, the Mana in the room was cold and dark. Ordinary Tier 2 magical class experts would have a hard time manipulating the ambient Mana in the room.
"Fallen Half-elf?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Feng's eyes as he glanced at the black-clad elder.
Elves were favored by magic. They were born with better affinity and sensitivity to Mana than other races. However, in God's Domain, a group of Elves had fallen into darkness in pursuit of ultimate magic. As a result, the Elves had banished these Elves.
These Elves were known as Fallen Elves. They were extremely rare in God's Domain, and players capable of transforming into Fallen Half-elves were even rarer.
Any player capable of transforming into a Fallen Half-elf would be highly sought out by the various superpowers.
This was because Fallen Half-elves were far more talented than ordinary Half-elves. In particular, their control over the Power of Darkness and their affinity with magic could rival that of purebred Elves.
The Elven race!
Although Fallen Half-elves couldn't compare to the Dragon race, which stood at the apex of God's Domain, they were still one of the top races in God's Domain. Their growth potential far surpassed that of human players. Moreover, after Tier 3, Fallen Half-elves' strength would undergo a qualitative transformation. In addition, any player capable of transforming into a Fallen Half-elf had very high combat standards. As long as one invested a lot of resources, they could easily nurture a Tier 5 apex expert.
In addition, Fallen Half-elves were incredibly talented. As long as a Tier 6 God-ranked expert didn't appear, practically no player would be able to defeat a Fallen Half-elf.
The difficulty of reincarnating into a fallen half-elf was extremely high. As far as he knew, he had to wait until his Mana Body was liberated before he had a chance to succeed.
However, the old man before him had successfully reincarnated despite not having released his Mana Body.
"Guild Leader, allow me to introduce you two. These two are experts from the Dark World's Three Great Guilds. They are here to discuss Demon's Heart's matter and wish to discuss it with Ling Yi," Xiang Shifeng said as Gentle Snow took the initiative to introduce the two Guilds.
The Dark World was extremely large, roughly the size of three empires. The Dark World's player population was even higher than the Fire Dragon Empire, one of the Four Great Empires.
Among them, there were three strongest Guilds in the Dark World.
They were Dark Rhapsody, Deity Society, and World Domination. Not only were these three Guilds supported by major corporations, but they had also secretly poached many of the various super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds' experts. Since then, they had steadily developed in the Dark World. Every one of these Guilds was far stronger than ordinary superpowers.
Meanwhile, the two newcomers represented Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society.
"Since you've come to see me in such a hurry, please get straight to the point," Shifeng said as he looked at the two newcomers.
He knew a thing or two about Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society. Although these two Guilds weren't one of the Six Great Dark Guilds, they had been existences that could rival Super Guilds in the future. In fact, after the Dark World's activation, these two Guilds had been the first to annihilate two superpowers, establishing a foothold on the main continent of God's Domain. They were not to be underestimated.
"Sure enough, President Hei Yan is as straightforward as the rumors say," Gentle Snow said, chuckling. Smiling faintly, the female Dark Knight said, "It's not easy for us to make this trip here, so let's get straight to the point. Elder Gold and I are here to represent the will of our two Guilds. We hope that Zero Wing will sign a contract with our two Guilds."
"Contract? What do you mean? "Shifeng asked.
"I believe that President Hei Yan doesn't know that Demon's Heart isn't as simple as it seems. Flaming Light, one of their Vice Guild Leaders, holds the key to the Dark World. President Hei Yan's rampage in Demon City has humiliated Demon's Heart. I'm afraid that Flaming Light will open a portal to the Dark World in Cold Spring Forest. Meanwhile, every player in the Dark World will swarm to Stone Forest City. At that time, Stone Forest City's fate will be sealed," Gentle Snow explained. "However, our two Guilds aren't willing to become Flaming Light's hatchet men. Hence, we wish to sign a contract with Ling Yi."
"That's right. The contract is simple. If a portal to the Dark World opens in Cold Spring Forest, our two Guilds won't attack Ling Yi or Stone Forest City," Dark Knight said, smiling. "I believe that this will reduce the pressure on Ling Yi and Stone Forest City. President Hei Yan, we'll see what happens to the Dark World's other powers."
"What are your demands, then?" Shi Feng asked the two of them.
He wasn't particularly surprised by the two Guilds' proposal. Although Demon's Heart had some influence in the Dark World, it wasn't nearly as influential as the Otherworld's three Guilds.
Demon's Heart was clearly trying to use the Dark World as a weapon. Naturally, some of the Dark World's powers wouldn't agree. After all, Demon's Heart would only benefit from the war.
However, if they didn't leave the portal, their development would reach a bottleneck. Hence, Dark Rhapsody and Deity Society had approached him, the Guild that owned a Guild City in Cold Spring Forest.
"We don't have any conditions. We simply wish to discuss the distribution of resources in Cold Spring Forest with President Hei Yan," Elder Gold said. "President Hei Yan knows that our two Guilds are large and require an extraordinary amount of resources. Hence, our two Guilds only want half of Cold Spring Forest's resource lands. As for the rest, we don't care. At the same time, we also hope that Ling Yi won't interfere with our half of the resource lands."
When Gentle Snow heard Elder Gold's words, she couldn't help but frown.
Cold Spring Forest's resources were plentiful, and Zero Wing couldn't monopolize them all by itself. However, if they signed the contract, Zero Wing would have to contend with the Dark World's various powers and players for the remaining 50% of the forest's resources. This would undoubtedly intensify the competition between Zero Wing and the Dark World's other powers. In contrast, Cold Spring Forest's two largest Guilds would have one less competitor in Cold Spring Forest.
"I see." Shifeng nodded.
"This proposal is very beneficial to all three of our Guilds. May I know what President Hei Yan thinks?" the female Dark Knight asked as she looked at Shifeng.
"Since the two Guilds are so sincere, how about this? Ling Yi is willing to give up 70% of Cold Spring Forest's resource lands. However, we hope that the two Guilds will compensate us with a portion of the materials. Our request isn't a lot. We only want 500,000 Darkness Crystals from the Dark World. May I know if you two are willing?" Shifeng asked, chuckling.
"Guild Leader?" Gentle Snow's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't understand what Shifeng was thinking.
Competing with the Otherworld's powers for 50% of Cold Spring Forest's resources was already an exaggeration. Now, however, Cold Spring Forest was asking the Otherworld's powers to declare war on Ling Yi …
At this moment, it wasn't just Gentle Snow. Even the female Dark Knight and Elder Gold, who had made the suggestion, were momentarily stunned.
They had assumed that Ling Yi would reject the proposal. The most likely scenario was that Cold Spring Forest would reduce their share of the resource lands. They had already thought of a way to deal with this situation. In fact, they had even planned to tangle with Ling Yi for a few days.
However, what was with Cold Spring Forest's resources?
