#299 - "protocol"
Fu Jian silently closed the communication monitoring and real-time recording.
He spoke directly, and Wang Ji Xuan understood that he could now communicate directly without transmitting sound.
Fu Jian asked, "What did you find down there?"
"A lot of things, including the secret of the Pillar Blade Beasts."
Wang Ji Xuan briefly introduced the Elysium Sky Curtain and the insane experiments of some spiritual cultivators seeking eternal life, not giving Fu Jian a chance to scold him, and then said directly:
"I am currently negotiating with the other party.
I found a small part of the Pillar Blade Beast's soul here. The other party is similar to Galeno, but more advanced, considered the true ruler of the Blade Beast civilization, but also 'one of' them.
I can't chat here for too long. I just want to ask for your opinion on whether or not to go along with this."
Fu Jian was silent for a few seconds.
"This goes against our principles. If we do this, we would be cooperating with the Blade Beasts and suppressing factions within humanity.
From a personal and public interest perspective, I oppose doing this."
Wang Ji Xuan: "Alright then, I won't guide it in that direction. I'll just extract some information and come back."
"My point is, I'm standing from a personal and public interest perspective."
Fu Jian said slowly again:
"If a D5 officer, for personal reasons, wants to protect a normal human society and seeks an opportunity to probe the recovery level of the three hidden spiritual cultivators in the Spiritual Energy Capital, it may also help humanity avoid a future destruction crisis."
Wang Ji Xuan was confused.
Wait, is it a yes, a no, or a yes and a yes?
If it's both, then it might not be so good…
In their cultivation world, even great devils have heroic figures. Being thoroughly evil or upright is considered good.
What he hates most are those who pretend to be righteous heroes on the surface but engage in all sorts of crooked and evil deeds behind the scenes.
They talk about ideals, but it's all business behind their backs!
Of course, Wang Daoist's own situation is a bit of a tough talk. He reluctantly used demonic techniques, but…
His heart harbors light!
Fu Jian said very directly: "Your negotiation this time does not represent humanity's stance, it's just a personal action."
"Understood," Wang Ji Xuan said with a smile, "That's right, I can't ask you this question. You definitely can't compromise with the Blade Beasts at all… Okay then, I'll handle it, and I'll be responsible if anything happens."
"Thank you."
"I'll continue to deceive them."
Wang Ji Xuan added via voice transmission:
"The Pillar Blade Beast's activity can only last for three days this time.
Also, our resources and population are indeed being controlled by it.
Their purpose seems very complicated, and I haven't been able to extract it yet. I'll explain the details when I get back. I'll continue to extract information now."
Fu Jian responded.
Wang Ji Xuan didn't transmit any more messages after that.
'How did this guy do it?' Fu Jian was clearly puzzled.
If he could really divert the disaster northward, it would indeed be most conducive to the internal unity of humanity in the current situation.
The Spiritual Energy Capital would be in danger?
Fu Jian didn't believe it.
If the Sixth Pillar could really break through the outer defenses of the Spiritual Energy Capital, then the three spiritual cultivators would most likely show themselves.
…
Inside the Elysium Sky Curtain of the Sixth Pillar.
Wang Ji Xuan's alien soul, No. 5's mental body, and that cloaked Galeno sat opposite each other.
The negotiation was going relatively smoothly.
No. 5 thought he had discovered the key to the problem.
It was difficult for their spiritual cultivation civilization to negotiate with the Blade Beast civilization because the Blade Beast civilization's goal was to completely eliminate the spiritual cultivation civilization.
It was also difficult for human civilization to negotiate with the Blade Beast civilization because the latter only regarded the former as an appendage and resource pool of the spiritual cultivation civilization, a part of the spiritual cultivation civilization.
Even before the black storm became active, the Blade Beasts had never communicated with humans.
But a mysterious cultivator from outside, an envoy from a high-level world, who had conflicts with the Blade Beasts but no fundamental interests involved, happened to have many methods to directly threaten the Blade Beasts…
Such a character, let alone the Blade Beast civilization, even the spiritual cultivation civilization at its peak, should value him.
No. 5 heard Wang Ji Xuan bluffing again:
"I had a brief discussion with the human commander.
There is no possibility of reconciliation between humans and Blade Beasts.
No human has the right to choose to forgive the Blade Beasts for the tragedies that have occurred on this planet.
But if the Blade Beasts prioritize resolving the conflict with the spiritual cultivators, the human side can choose to temporarily recuperate, after all, the spiritual cultivators are also a huge threat to humans."
The cloaked Galeno kept thinking.
It asked: "Can the primitive civilization on this planet resist the spiritual cultivators?"
"You must have been asleep for a long time," Wang Ji Xuan said, "Since your information can be shared, why not directly read the memories of other Galenos?
Humans have been constantly progressing in the past eighty years."
Wang Ji Xuan's eyes were piercing:
"Even without me here, I believe that humans will eventually drive out the Blade Beasts and spiritual cultivators and become the third player in this star field.
The mechanical path that humans insist on has now achieved results.
Haven't you just experienced it?
The current you are suppressed here, embarrassed, and unable to move. This is still because the time humans have developed is too short."
The cloaked Galeno nodded slowly: "That's indeed the case.
This primitive civilization mainly relies on its own strength in its confrontation with us."
"The spiritual energy civilization composed of Blade Beasts and spiritual cultivators actually doesn't have any superiority."
Wang Ji Xuan directly criticized in front of No. 5:
"Whether it's the human body or the Blade Beast body, they are just parasites of the core circuit and the spiritual energy circuit. You cannot understand the essence of power.
Not to mention, I have already been in contact with the creators of the core circuit."
The cloaked Galeno was obviously stunned: "You have been in contact with that ancient civilization?"
No. 5 nodded: "I can testify."
"I can't see through you even more," the cloaked Galeno murmured, "You are full of secrets, with incredible abilities, and many singularities are happening around you."
Wang Ji Xuan was almost embarrassed by what was said.
He said: "You can only be active for three days.
The materials prepared by the human side are enough to nail you here for three days, so why don't we make a deal?"
The cloaked Galeno asked: "Do you want me to attack the city in the Arctic Circle?"
"Don't you want to know the extent to which the three spiritual cultivators of the Light Council Court have recovered?"
Wang Ji Xuan said frankly:
"Among the enemies in front of me, the Blade Beasts are a major enemy, and the three spiritual cultivators and their subordinate spiritual slaves are my mortal enemies.
I am advising you here, not trading with you.
Why don't you withdraw from here and go to the Arctic Circle to cause trouble for them?"
The cloaked Galeno said: "Based on an agreement, we will not attack the Spiritual Energy Metropolis in the Arctic Circle for the time being."
"Agreement?" Wang Ji Xuan was somewhat puzzled.
No. 5 suddenly seemed to have her tail stepped on: "They have an agreement with you?!"
"Yes."
The cloaked Galeno nodded slightly:
"You can recall that the spiritual cultivators from the Dark Night, after we gained a wide advantage, only surrounded you separately on different planets, and did not kill you all.
This is the content of that agreement."
No. 5 cursed loudly: "These! Damned guys! Bastards! We risked everything to protect the flame of civilization, but they secretly colluded with the Blade Beasts!
What is the agreement?!"
The cloaked Galeno shook his head slowly: "Based on the confidentiality clause, we cannot say."
Wang Ji Xuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Some information quickly connected in his mind.
Wang Ji Xuan suddenly said: "I know."
The cloaked Galeno's membrane showed a frowning expression: "You know?
What do you know?"
"It's for the survival of the Blade Beast civilization."
"Hmm?" The cloaked Galeno looked puzzled.
It was pretending.
Wang Ji Xuan said to himself:
"If I hadn't already understood enough before, and had a little maid whose thinking went wrong, I probably wouldn't have thought of this—
Blade Beasts cannot survive completely independently.
Am I right?"
The cloaked Galeno was somewhat silent.
No. 5 asked: "What do you mean?"
Wang Ji Xuan glared at her…
The newest novels are first published at Liu 9 Shu Ba!
Big sister, we are negotiating with the other party!
This is like playing Dou Dizhu, why are the two peasants starting to ask each other about their cards?
Daoist Wang looked directly at the cloaked Galeno and said quickly:
"Elysium Sky Curtain, the soul of the Pillar Blade Beast, the support of the Blade Beast swarm, this is composed of more than three thousand five hundred spiritual energy circuits.
The creators of the Elysium Sky Curtain were the spiritual cultivators of the God of War group. They were once worried about some necessary spiritual energy circuits, and then went to the Light Wing Council Court to negotiate.
The Light Wing Council Court cooperated with the God of War, allowing the Blade Beasts to be born from then on.
But when the first batch of aging spiritual cultivators entered the Elysium Sky Curtain, trying to exist eternally, an accident occurred. Galeno, this special Blade Beast, the brain of the Blade Beast swarm, the prophet of the Blade Beast civilization, began to awaken and killed those old souls.
The rebellion started from the Elysium Sky Curtain, or rather, an uprising.
Then came the Blade Beast's war against the spiritual cultivators.
In this process, you must have discovered some problems… You don't have core circuits, you can only create new individuals by copying spiritual energy circuits at most.
Your civilization does not have the possibility of self-evolution.
This is similar to the principle that once a mechanical civilization deviates from human logic for maintenance, it will eventually collapse."
Wang Ji Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Galeno's expression showed some solidification.
Gari Nuo didn't dodge any further: "Yes, you've found the root of the problem."
Wang Jixuan leaned back slightly.
The initiative was finally in his hands.
He tapped the table with his fingers and smiled, "What do you want?"
"Souls, the souls of spiritual practitioners to become our puppets."
The cloaked Gari Nuo said calmly:
"The cities and palaces here are birdcages prepared for the souls of these spiritual practitioners."
"Isn't this what they're pursuing?
"The Blissful Sky, the Eternal Divine Kingdom.
"Using the souls of ordinary intelligent life as fuel to make this divine kingdom exist forever, even if eternity is just a false proposition, it can greatly delay their death."
What a bunch of bastards.
The Daoist cursed inwardly.
Wang Jixuan asked, "You chose to negotiate with the Wings of Light because they have mastered the production methods and maintenance technology of the Pillar Blade Beasts?"
"That's right. After killing all the spiritual practitioners of the War God Council, we actually released our own hatred and anger, and also realized the shortcomings of our own civilization."
The cloaked Gari Nuo said indifferently:
"We tried to destroy all the spiritual practitioners because every spiritual practitioner has the potential to control us.
"Just like the dormant circuits they activated before.
"In fact, the only reason why the civilization on this planet can survive is that agreement, and not any other conditions.
"If there were no such agreement, after our twelve synchronized slumbers, new partners would naturally be dispatched here to easily tear apart all life forms on the surface of this planet."
Wang Jixuan asked, "Can you talk about the content of this agreement?"
"No."
"So, you won't attack the Spirit Energy Capital in the Arctic Circle? Then why did you go to snatch the core circuit left by Old Sophie?"
"The agreement only covers members of the Wings of Light Council."
Number Five's face was ashen beside him.
She had been betrayed, deeply betrayed!
Wang Jixuan kept thinking.
The negotiation fell into a stalemate. Deceiving the Sixth Pillar to attack the Spirit Energy Capital would naturally be a win-win-win situation for his side.
Since there was this opportunity, the Daoist was naturally willing to try.
This agreement…
"Ah," Wang Jixuan suddenly laughed, "You've been deceived."
The cloaked Gari Nuo was puzzled.
"Are you trying to extract the content of the agreement in this way? Cultivator?"
"No, no, no, your level of intelligence is not low. We can't lie here. Lying can be sensed by each other."
Wang Jixuan chuckled:
"But you have indeed been deceived.
"Your agreement should be that, after reaching certain conditions, the spiritual practitioners of the Wings of Light Council will become your slaves, enter one Blissful Sky after another, accept your restraints, and become canaries in cages.
"This agreement was even proposed by you, right?
"Then do you know what's so special about this planet?"
The cloaked Gari Nuo nodded: "This is the mother planet of the spiritual practitioners. Six hundred and fifty thousand orbital periods ago, the first batch of spiritual practitioners was born here, took away the core circuit, left the collapsing ancient civilization, and since then, the core circuit began to continuously develop and grow, gradually possessing power close to that of a god."
"Their return is to find the treasure hidden on the mother planet, and who do you think this treasure is used to deal with?"
The cloaked Gari Nuo pondered.
Wang Jixuan looked at the white bone remains in the hall.
The Blade Beasts are not stupid;
They are actually walking on two legs.
On the one hand, they are trying to make the spiritual practitioners of the Light Council their slaves, acting as repairmen and scientists of the Blade Beast civilization;
On the other hand, they are also working hard to learn the knowledge of the spiritual practitioner civilization.
The pseudo-interstellar gate, the Beast Speaker's SS-level promotion ceremony at the time, are the best proof.
Both the Blade Beasts and the spiritual practitioners are playing tricks. The Blade Beasts are afraid that if they kill all the spiritual practitioners, their own civilization will also collapse, so they must leave some teachers behind;
The spiritual practitioners are desperately trying to save themselves. The hopes of these six spiritual practitioners are pinned on their ancient mother planet, which led to the subsequent tragedy on Earth.
Now, Wang Jixuan naturally can't say these words. He wants to try to anger the Sixth Pillar and let it fight with the spiritual practitioners of the Spirit Energy Capital.
Try to create an information gap first.
"You know in your own heart that the Wings of Light will not honestly follow this agreement.
"And according to the information I have obtained, that spiritual practitioner who looks like a shaman and a witch has previously self-destructed and released her own core circuit. She told the three spiritual practitioners of the Wings of Light that she had found the path to that treasure, and this secret should only be known to the Wings of Light.
"You Blade Beasts are about to be eliminated.
"Don't believe it? Looking at your expression, you shouldn't believe it, then you can ask those three. You should be able to communicate directly."
