The Human race gathered in the remote mountains was a considerable force. If the Human race could lend the Desolate race a hand, then the Desolate race might have a slim chance of turning the tables against the Black-armored Demon God.
For a bunch of weaklings to deal with a strong expert, it was like a flock of sheep dealing with a fierce tiger. Under normal circumstances, the sheep would die no matter how many came. The gap between the two was insurmountable. It could not be bridged with numbers.
The Desolate race and the Human race faced the Black-armored Demon God in a similar situation.
If a flock of sheep were to face a fierce tiger head on, they would definitely be defeated!
And the only way to narrow the gap between the two, to gather the strength of the weak, was through array formations!
With a top array formation, it could gather the strength of the sheep, and only then could it cause harm to the fierce tiger.
In terms of array formations, the Human race's attainments far exceeded the Desolate race's.
The Desolate race's forte was in controlling desolate beasts, while the Human race had higher attainments in alchemy and array formations. Furthermore, this Cosmic Infinite Array greatly exceeded the standards of the Tian Yuan world's Human race in refining array formations.
The Cosmic Infinite Array came from Blood Moon, and it was an array formation that had been passed down since ancient times.
Its strongest form could be controlled by eight Empyreal Kings and 64 Sages.
Once it was activated, it could reverse the universe and reverse Yin and Yang!
In the Divine Wilderness, in the battle between the Human race and the Black-armored Demon God, the Cosmic Infinite Array had been jointly activated by five Human race top factions. Although they failed to injure the Black-armored Demon God, it managed to trap the Black-armored Demon God for a short period of time, protecting the lives of the Human elites from the large factions.
The Desolate race wanted such an array formation very much!
Without the array formation, the Desolate race experts, who were like scattered sand, would definitely die if they fought the Black-armored Demon God head-on.
However, how could the Human race agree to the Desolate race's request?
This Universe Infinite Array contained profound and complicated nomological Dao patterns. He wanted to make a replica of it? Difficult!
Especially with the Black-armored Demon God wreaking havoc, it was even more important.
This array formation was what the Human race relied on to resist the Black-armored Demon God, so how could they be willing to hand it over to the Desolate race?
The Desolate race suggested that they were willing to send a Desolate race Empyreal King and a Primordial True Spirit to escort the Human race out of the remote mountains, ensuring their safety. As for the array formation, they were only borrowing it.
But even so, the humans snorted disdainfully. Borrow? What if the array flags and disk arrays were destroyed by the Black-armored Demon God?
Leaving behind the Cosmic Infinite Array was equivalent to handing over the sharpest knife in their hands. Ignoring the Black-armored Demon God in the future, the Human race would lose a great deal of capital just to face the Desolate race.
Thus, a battle began to revolve around this.
Against the Black-armored Demon God, regardless of the outcome, the Desolate race would have to make a huge sacrifice. And the Black-armored Demon God was not only the Desolate race's enemy, he was also the Human race's enemy.
The former Desolate Queen could imagine that when they fought the Black-armored Demon God to the death, the Human race would be happy to sit on the sidelines and reap the spoils from the sidelines. They could not wish for this battle more than anything. They might even wish for the Desolate race to destroy the Black-armored Demon God, while losing all their elites.
The former Desolate Queen clearly knew the thoughts of the Human race, so how could she watch her own people die for the Human race?
They, the Desolate race, could fight to the death for their mission, for glory and for Jiang Xiaorou. However, what right did they have to sacrifice the Desolate race, while the Human race reaped all the benefits, to the point of taking the opportunity to wipe the Desolate race out after victory?
This Tian Yuan world Cosmic Infinite Array was the condition proposed by the former Desolate Queen.
The Human race could leave, and the Desolate race could send Empyreal Kings to escort them, ensuring the safety of the Human race, but the Cosmic Infinite Array had to be left behind.
This forceful competition caused the legendary human figures to retaliate. After a heated debate, the legendary human figures proposed conditions for an exchange.
And this condition was something the Desolate race could not accept.
What the Human race needed the most now was combat strength, to ensure that they could continue on.
They proposed to have three Desolate race Empyreal Kings drive the three Primordial True Spirits to fight for the Human race.
To restrain the Desolate race's Empyreal Kings, they naturally had to sign a soul contract. And this was no ordinary soul contract, it was the most domineering one. It was a master-servant contract that was close to controlling one's thoughts.
Only such a contract could be trusted by the Human race. If not, this condition would just be empty talk.
With three Desolate race Empyreal Kings and three Primordial True Spirits, it was equivalent to the addition of six Empyreal King level experts. They could barely make up for their losses. Their array masters were also studying the Cosmic Infinite Array. In the future, they might be able to refine a replica. Although it would not have the power of the original array, if they could set up a few at once, it would still be useful.
And this condition infuriated the Desolate race. Be it the Desolate race or the Human race, an Empyreal King was a high and mighty figure. They controlled the fate of their race.
To make an Empyreal King a slave?
This was an insult!
Furthermore, after losing three Empyreal Kings and three Primordial True Spirits, it would be even more difficult for the Desolate race to fight the Black-armored Demon God.
How could the Desolate race agree to it?
But what made the Desolate race and the former Desolate Queen unable to accept it, and even infuriated, was that among the three Desolate race Empyreal Kings proposed by the Human race to be slaves, the Shepherd Boy's name was ranked first!
They actually had designs on the Shepherd Boy!
In the Desolate race, the Shepherd Boy was a transcendent existence second only to the Desolate Queen. He was extremely loyal, and he had fought for the Desolate race in the Tian Yuan world. He had found Jiang Xiaorou, and he had many meritorious military exploits.
Be it the Desolate race, the former Desolate Queen or Jiang Xiaorou, the Shepherd Boy was not an ordinary member of the Desolate race.
To outsiders and the Human race, the Shepherd Boy's name was like thunder to the ears.
By including the Shepherd Boy, the Human race clearly coveted the Shepherd Boy's strength, they also wanted revenge!
To make the extremely arrogant Shepherd Boy become their slave was more difficult than killing him.
The former Desolate Queen had flatly rejected this request.
However, the Human race's response was extremely unyielding. If they did not agree to the request, there was no need to discuss the disk array.
At the beginning of the dispute, the Shepherd Boy did not say a word. He only listened to the debate in silence.
He had lived for a very long time, and he had seen many people look at him with hatred and fear. At one point, he was the representative of the Desolate race in the Human race. He was terrifying, powerful, cold and heartless.
Such a Shepherd Boy, be it himself or others, would never believe that he would become a slave for others.
However, after the dispute went on for an hour, and just as the negotiations were about to collapse, the Shepherd Boy suddenly stood up.
He enunciated each word clearly, "Only I, alone, will sign a contract to fight for you for a thousand years."
His words were very short, but when they came from the Shepherd Boy's mouth, they were not as simple as a single sentence.
The Shepherd Boy lowered his head.
With external enemies in front of them, and against the Human race with the Cosmic Infinite Array, the Desolate race could not destroy the Human race and seize the disk array. Then … they could only compromise.
To a Desolate race Empyreal King like the Shepherd Boy, who valued glory as his life, he would rather die in battle than sign a slave contract and be ordered around by the Human race.
But now, for Jiang Xiaorou, for his race, the Shepherd Boy had lowered his proud head for the first time in more than ten thousand years. He had endured this great humiliation.
Jiang Xiaorou and the former Desolate Queen did not know what they were feeling from the Shepherd Boy's submission. This pain was indescribable.
However, against the Shepherd Boy's sacrifice, the Human race did not appreciate it.
This was because just the Shepherd Boy's combat strength alone was not enough to match a Cosmic Infinite Array that could gather the energy of a human Empyreal King.
At this moment, the former Desolate Queen had reached her limit. She was on the verge of exploding.
As for the Human race, they were not to be outdone. Mystic Tiger Immortal suddenly released his Aspect Totem to oppose the Desolate race!
This Aspect Totem was just a show of force. Mystic Tiger Immortal was hinting that if they really lost all decorum, they would not rule out using extreme tactics, or even using the Cosmic Infinite Array.
Such an internal strife was not something the Human race or the Desolate race could afford!
And at this moment, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong appeared. The atmosphere changed because of their appearance.
To the Human race, Yi Yun and Lin Xintong were a terrifying force that could destroy the balance of power.
The Human race did not expect Yi Yun and Lin Xintong to remain neutral at this moment. As for leaning towards them, that was just wishful thinking.
When Yi Yun and Lin Xintong joined forces, their strength was unfathomable. Even if the Human race had the Cosmic Infinite Array, it was useless against them. This was because setting up an array required time!
And if Yi Yun and Lin Xintong joined forces, the Desolate race would definitely not give them the time to do so!
