As for whether or not he would be able to get a Continent, Zhao Fu did not have much confidence, so he could only wait. At the same time, he made preparations for the Fish Scale world to retaliate. Zhao Fu did not have much confidence in this white magic formation.
The Fish Scale emissary returned to the Fish Scale world and told everyone what Zhao Fu had said. After hearing that Zhao Fu had asked for a Continent, everyone felt quite angry, as no one in the Fish Scale world had a Continent yet.
However, Qin had demanded an exorbitant price, asking for a Continent without doing anything. That was one-seventh of their territory, and now, they had to give it to someone else. They felt incredibly furious and sullen that this person did not place them in his eyes at all.
Those gifts, such as five billion gold coins, all sorts of treasures, and exquisite beauties, were things that they had worked hard to gather. Not only had they suffered such a great loss, but they also had to compensate them with money, treasures, and women; they felt incredibly angry!
Qin's Legatee accepted these gifts, but Qin's Legatee was not satisfied at all. He still wanted those Cities and captured humans, and he even wanted a Continent. He was simply too greedy and intolerable.
"Prince Qin's Legatee is going too far. It's one thing for us to give him so much money, treasures, and women, but he wants a Continent? Why doesn't he just steal it?" a Fish Scale person said furiously.
However, someone quickly retorted, "What's more, if he wants to steal it, what can you do about it? If it wasn't for the fact that we were afraid of him destroying the Fish Scale world, we wouldn't have to act so servile in front of Qin. We would have just directly attacked Qin and killed all of Qin's people."
"What do we do now? Are we really going to give him a Continent? How can we do that? "
"That's right, how can we give away a Continent? It's not something we can decide."
"If we don't want to give away a Continent, we'll have to think of a way to stop Qin's invasion. We can use gifts to stall for time, but Qin will still attack at any time. Does everyone want to die together?"
"Why don't we fight with Qin and set up a lot of traps somewhere? At most, we will die together with Qin, and we won't have to suffer so much."
Everyone in the hall was debating endlessly. If Zhao Fu had asked for less, they would have agreed to Zhao Fu's terms for their own safety. But now, Zhao Fu had asked for too much, causing their opinions to be divided. Some people wanted to negotiate peace, while others wanted to perish together.
An elder in robes cleared his throat and coughed a few times. This elder was quite famous in the Fish Scale world, and hearing him cough, everyone fell silent and looked at him.
The elder said, "I think we can agree to Prince Qin's request. The Netherwater Continent is the closest continent to the human world, so it's naturally quite dangerous right now. People are continuously fleeing from there, and as long as we tell them that Qin will slaughter the Netherwater Continent, there won't be anyone left."
"That way, we can give the Netherwater Continent to Qin, and at the same time, it will make people feel even more enmity towards Qin so that we can counterattack in the future.
"Moreover, the Netherwater Continent has 5,000 or so regions, and it's the smallest out of the seven Continents. In actuality, the losses won't be too great.
"Also, we received some useful information, which is that not all of the four billion or so people have died, and they have all submitted to Qin. However, do you believe that so many of us Fish Scale people will completely submit to a human?"
"That's not too likely, but we can make use of this to destroy Qin. Moreover, the Netherwater Continent is being given to the Fish Scale people to live in, so the ownership is still in our hands."
"Of course, the most important thing is time. As long as he signs a Blood Contract, a Blood Contract is one of the most high-level Contracts in the Heaven Awaken World, and there is almost no way to break it. Moreover, the power of the Contract will be passed down through the bloodline."
"If we agree to him, the Fish Scale world will not be in any danger for three years, and we won't have to worry about any threats from Qin. With three years, do you think we can't find a way to deal with Qin? In the future, we'll make Qin pay us back ten times over. "
"After considering all of this, I think we can agree to his request. After all, the Continent is still in our hands, and Qin is ours."
Hearing the elder's words, everyone fell silent. That was all they could do; otherwise, how could they stop Qin? They could only give up a Continent, or else the entire Fish Scale world would be destroyed. They did not want to be destroyed like that.
In the Southern Continent, Zhao Fu had never thought that they would directly agree. In actuality, because of the magic formation's flaws, Qin did not dare to attack the Fish Scale world at all. If they were forced into a corner and were exposed, Qin would not be able to obtain anything. As such, Zhao Fu was prepared to bargain.
Zhao Fu could not help but lightly laugh after obtaining a Continent like this; the benefits were simply too great and unexpected.
In actuality, Zhao Fu had long since made plans. The Fish Scale world had seven Continents, and Qin now occupied one. The second Continent closest to it was the Darkwater Continent, where Qin controlled the largest system faction, which was the faction controlled by the brain bug.
In three years, this faction would most likely be able to unify the second Continent. During this time, the human world would not be in danger from the Fish Scale world, and Zhao Fu would use this time to unify the human world.
When that time came, two of the Fish Scale Continents would belong to Qin, and the remaining five Continents would not be able to resist Qin. That was why Zhao Fu was willing to sign the blood contract.
Four days later, it was time for the two sides to sign the blood contract, and the two sides officially met near the rift. The other side had hundreds of people, while Zhao Fu had brought ten or so Generals.
Now that there was a magic formation here, the Fish Scale people were afraid that Zhao Fu would take this opportunity to wipe them all out, so they were on their guard.
When the two sides met, the Fish Scale people smiled at Zhao Fu and courteously chatted with him for a bit. Zhao Fu responded with a few words before discussing the contents of the Blood Contract, as well as the various conditions. In the end, they came to an agreement.
The people from both sides stood on one side and cut their palms. Blood flowed out of their wounds and shot into the sky, fusing together and forming an orb of blood that gave off an intense blood-red light. Blood-red words descended from the sky.
These blood-red words were the contents of the contract, and after appearing, they once again fused together, turning into countless blood-red runes that shot into the bodies of the two sides, forming a contract.
This time, the Fish Scale world had invaded the human world. In the end, they had ceded territory, paid compensation, offered beauties, and all sorts of treasures to Qin. Even though the Fish Scale people had felt quite humiliated, they had managed to protect the Fish Scale world. Because of the blood contract, the two worlds had entered a period of peace.
