Chapter 1409: Chapter 728: The Final Outcome (Part 4)
"No problem, we can arrange your travel at any time."
"Additionally, let’s reconfirm our previous contract. After the migration is completed, we will continue to assist you in clearing out the Truth Mechanical Civilization and the Star Sea Giant Ape Civilization. However, as compensation, we need the final kills of all High Rank Star Sea Giant Apes, including their corpses, while the other spoils on the battlefield will be divided equally between us!"
This negotiation did not produce any disagreements; in fact, it was a win-win cooperation from the start.
The Torch Civilization will gain the entire domain of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon River System Group, while the Eight-Armed Snake Demon migrates to a new River System Communities where no top-tier Advanced Civilization has yet appeared, thus completely freeing themselves from the control of the Eight-Armed Demon God. Such a mutually beneficial cooperation naturally wouldn’t face major disputes. As for minor issues, they don’t matter much against the broader trends from both sides.
The exchange lasted for quite some time, and finally, Cang Li raised another rather unexpected request.
"Gentlemen, after this cooperation ends, could we retain the wormhole corridor between us?"
"In the past, we have been in stalemate for hundreds of thousands of years due to our adjacent territories and Eight-Armed Demon God’s control above. Once the migration is completed as you said, we will be separated by trillions of light-years, and those conflict factors will mostly dissolve. In that case, why don’t we form an alliance?"
Upon suddenly hearing this proposal, the three Torch Human Emperors within the Three Corpses Superstate Mecha Giant did not respond immediately. They exchanged glances, their eyes flickering with a strange expression.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, they have seen and heard too much, so they instantly saw through what the other party was planning.
If they were to only consider what the other party just said, there wouldn’t be much to refute. An alliance between two top-tier Advanced Civilizations could bring countless benefits, and just the free trade between the two could be immensely advantageous.
But the question is, will the other party truly feel at ease afterwards?
Currently, the foundation of the Torch Human Civilization and their energy far exceeds that of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization. Once the other party establishes itself in the new River System Communities, the Torch side will likely have fully digested the entire Eight-Armed Snake Demon River System Group, possessing two River System Communities, their power will only grow more terrifying. By then, can the other party really be reassured about the free connection and trade between them?
However, despite not having high hopes for this, the three still quickly agreed.
Even if the hope is slim, it doesn’t hurt to agree. As for how things will develop later, it won’t be too late to address it then. As long as there’s a possibility for an alliance, it’s a good thing. Moreover, even if the alliance fails, the communication and trade during this time can still bring considerable benefits, right?
After agreeing, the Torch Human Civilization and the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization became distinctly separated.
One side fully prepared for the upcoming migration work, while the other proceeded to take over those Star Domains not yet captured from the Eight-Armed Snake Demon, according to the previously awarded battle achievements and distribution rules set by the Four Great Empires.
During this process, no conflicts arose between the two sides, as the high-ups on both sides issued strict prohibitions. Violating these would result in terrifyingly severe punishments.
Of course, there was also one most important thing.
That was the final Merit ranking and reward exchange from the Demon God Floating Land battle.
Although the process only lasted halfway before the entire Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization defected, the Merit Points earned were very real.
After several days of statistics by the statistics department of the Four Great Empires, the results were finally revealed today.
