Chapter 1031: No, We Winner
It was always easier to talk to smart people.
"State your conditions," the Spiritual Empress continued. "If your demands are too high, I\'ll discuss them with the Strength race."
"No matter what conditions I propose, you\'ll still negotiate with the Strength race, won\'t you?" Wang Ye said.
The Spiritual Empress smiled calmly.
Wang Ye continued, "But you might be overestimating yourself and underestimating the Strength race. To them, you are now a defeated general, and your value for cooperation is low. More importantly, they\'re wary of being taken advantage of."
"But I\'m different. I\'m genuinely helping the Strength race, and the rewards I receive are just a fraction compared to securing the Natural Star."
"Who do you think the Strength race would prefer to align with?"
The Spiritual Empress looked at Wang Ye with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Go ahead, I\'m listening."
This woman was steady.
Her emotions were stable and his thoughts were meticulous. She was an extremely difficult opponent.
"I don\'t ask for much, just three conditions, similar to what I did for the Strength race," Wang Ye said straightforwardly.
"First, I want control of the Self-Improving Race Alliance for the next 100,000 years."
The Spiritual Empress thought for a moment, then shook her head. "It won\'t take that long. Ten thousand years is sufficient. If necessary, we can even help the humans."
"Forget it. I\'m afraid the Sky race might misunderstand," Wang Ye replied. "Ten thousand years isn\'t enough. After the war among the low-dimensional races, we\'ll need time to stabilize the situation. At least fifty thousand years."
"Thirty thousand years," the Spiritual Empress countered.
"Alright," Wang Ye reluctantly agreed.
"The second condition concerns the \'Secret Manual of Spirit Runes\'," the Spiritual Empress said. "I can give it to you, but you must promise not to disseminate it."
"Isn\'t that just borrowing?" Wang Ye said in surprise. "That won\'t work unless you also teach me how to refine the Five Spirits Divine Refinement Array."
"You are not of the Spirit race. You won\'t be able to learn it," the Spiritual Empress replied.
Wang Ye responded, "Then can I send a representative to learn?"
The Spiritual Empress sighed. This human knew how to push his luck.
"Are you referring to the ancestors of the Spirit race from the ancient War of the Divine Spirits?" the Spiritual Empress asked.
"Yes," Wang Ye said. "Her name is Ling Ying. I promise that the \'Secret Manual of Spirit Runes\' will only be taught to her."
"Agreed," the Spiritual Empress said without hesitation. "Now, state your last condition."
Wang Ye looked at the Spiritual Empress and smiled innocently. "I want your people to fully refine the Primal Chaos Star\'s spiritual spell grand array and related treasures, and I want to observe and learn from the entire process."
The Spiritual Empress smiled.
Wang Ye was a greedy human!
She had expected him to ask for a Heavenly Dao Saint treasure, a life origin divine beast, or a foothold in the Primitive Cosmic Sea.
But she hadn\'t anticipated this.
"Aren\'t you afraid of overreaching?" the Spiritual Empress asked. "Humans can\'t handle so much."
"Whether we can handle it or not is our concern," Wang Ye replied. "You don\'t need to worry about that, Spiritual Empress."
"You ask for too much," the Spiritual Empress remarked, shaking her head.
"But have you considered that this might also benefit the Spirit race?" Wang Ye asked. "If humans can eventually occupy the Primal Chaos Star, they would become your allies, greatly alleviating your burden, and we could support each other."
The Spiritual Empress pondered quietly.
Wang Ye waited patiently, occasionally smiling at Ling Shu, who was watching him closely.
He wasn\'t worried.
The Spiritual Empress was intelligent.
All three conditions were within the Spirit race\'s capacity.
The first condition was the control of the Self-Improving Race Alliance.
For the Spirit race, if the cooperation had gone smoothly, their future focus would have been on the contest for the Primal Chaos Star.
Low-dimensional races held no attraction for them anymore. They were merely pieces on the board that they didn\'t intend to use.
But for humans, especially with the impending war among low-dimensional races, the Self-Improving Race Alliance would be a powerful asset!
The second condition was the Secret Manual of Spirit Runes.
Everyone knew that it referred to the crafting of the Five Spirits Divine Refinement Array, aimed at contending for the ownerless huge chaos realm.
Similar to the first condition, if the Spirit race secured the Primal Chaos Star, the huge chaos realms would become redundant.
Moreover, the Sky race was constantly monitoring them, leaving no opportunity for action.
However, in the eyes of humans, these were unexplored territories!
It was a large expanse of land!
After the war between the low-dimensional races, there would be a vast blue ocean of opportunity!
The third condition was the true grand finale.
It was also the core of this negotiation.
Refining the Primal Chaos Star!
Since the Spirit race could use a spiritual spell grand array to refine the ownerless huge chaos realm, they naturally could refine an ownerless Primal Chaos Star!
This was their third plan.
They intended to set up a spiritual spell grand array outside the Ancestral Star and use a divine item to gather energy from the battle on the Ancestral Star, then refine the Primordial Star!
The difference was that the Primordial Star had been refined before, so they only needed to consume the energy of a fire seed.
The fire seed would not resist, so the danger was low.
But the Primal Chaos Star was not only extremely powerful, it was also highly aggressive!
However, the Spirit race could choose to use their strongest expert to refine it, gather even more energy, and make thorough preparations.
Most importantly, they wouldn\'t have to directly confront the Sky race anymore!
This was also the basis of the intended cooperation with the Spirit race.
It was the Spirit race\'s goal, and it was also his goal!
If the Spirit race could occupy the Primal Chaos Star, why couldn\'t the humans?
As long as they had enough innate energy, as long as they could fully observe the Spirit race\'s refinement process and had the same complete set of refinement resources and spiritual spell grand array, humans could also refine the Primal Chaos Star!
Greedy?
Without ambition, humans would forever remain mere pawns of the high-dimensional races!
Even occupying all remaining huge chaos realms would be meaningless.
The core of the true struggle in the high-dimensional cosmic was the ten Primal Chaos Stars!
He had to get involved!
Losing wouldn\'t be a loss.
At worst, they could return to the huge chaos realm and continue to lie low.
But winning would be a massive gain!
In the future, when they retake the Primordial Star, humans would have two Primal Chaos Stars!
Their power would surge!
"Fine, but I have a condition," the Spiritual Empress said, looking at Wang Ye. "All promises must be fulfilled only after we secure the Primal Chaos Star."
"No," Wang Ye replied. "The war between the low-dimensional races is imminent. If we reach an agreement, the first two conditions must be fulfilled immediately. The third condition can be delayed."
The Spiritual Empress sighed in relief, looking at Wang Ye, "You win."
Wang Ye smiled and replied, "No, we win."
...
The cooperation was finalized!
Three conditions, each more demanding than the last!
Wang Ye had struck a significant deal with the Spirit race.
After exchanging contact information with Ling Shu and leaving Ling Ying to study the Five Spirits Divine Refinement Array with the Spirit Race, he departed.
"Detestable human, he\'s so greedy!" Ling Shu gritted her teeth.
Although they didn\'t want to admit it, they had been led by this detestable human master supervisor in the negotiation just now.
"He\'s not bad," the Spiritual Empress said softly as she looked in the direction where Wang Ye had left.
"Not bad?" Ling Shu was stunned.
The Spiritual Empress nodded. "His greed is for us. The three conditions he proposed were all for the sake of mankind and his race."

As one of the leaders of the Female Spirit race, the Spiritual Empress was deeply moved.
This kind of pressure and responsibility was very heavy.
Ling Shu pursed her lips and fell into deep thought.
As smart as she was, she knew how powerful and outstanding Wang Ye was.
However, she did not want to admit it.
Humph!
The Spiritual Empress stroked Ling Shu\'s little head and smiled. "You are talented in cultivation and smart. However, you are too inexperienced and lack experience in handling matters. You are too arrogant. However, I have no right to criticize you on the last point."
"If I had given up my pride and cooperated with humans, perhaps..."
"The result would have been completely different."
"Spiritual Empress." Ling Shu sensed the current state of mind of the Spiritual Empress.
"I\'m just saying it out of emotion," the Spiritual Empress said. "The failure of the plan this time has touched me greatly."
"Perhaps it was not a coincidence that we lost to the Sky race back then."
"We didn\'t lose!" Ling Shu hurriedly said, clenching her fists tightly. "Spiritual Empress, don\'t be discouraged!"
The Spiritual Empress smiled. "Silly child, I bear the pressure of the race. How can I give up so easily? Just as Wang Ye said, this defeat isn\'t necessarily a bad thing. Right now, the Sky race\'s full attention is focused on the four territories."
"We have a greater chance of taking down the Primal Chaos Star!"
"There\'s no need to confront the Sky race!"
Ling Shu nodded heavily, hope to ignite in her eyes. "We will win!"
"I guess so," the Spiritual Empress said. "At least this time, that human who has repeatedly ruined our plans is on our side."
"Wang Ye?" Ling Shu thought of that human face and gritted her teeth in anger. "The previous two plans were ruined by him!"
The Spiritual Empress added, "Not only that, he was also the main culprit for the failure of the third plan."
"Ah?" Ling Shu immediately understood. Her eyes widened. "He discovered our final target?"
"Yes."
"What?" Ling Shu\'s chest heaved up and down. "He first informed the Sky race, and then hypocritically informed us?"
"Yes."
Ling Shu\'s face turned red. She was fuming. "He even shamelessly came to work with us in the end!?"
"Yes!"
"Ah! I\'m so angry!"
...
After leaving the Spacetime Star, Wang Ye headed straight for the Natural Star.
He was discussing important matters with leader Kan Ersuo and the cooperation with the Spirit race.
This was the content of his deal with the Spiritual Empress.
Refining a Primal Chaos Star required an unimaginable amount of energy.
The amount collected from the battle of the Ancestral Star was far from enough.
However, shortly, there would be a battle on Natural Star.
The intensity of the battle would be far greater than the battle of the Ancestral Star!
It was the best opportunity for the Spirit race to gather energy!
Of course, it was also beneficial to the Strength race.
At that time, the Spirit race would come as reinforcements. They would be a special force and would be extremely useful!
"I\'ll leave the cooperation with the Spirit race to you," The leader Kan Ersuo said with a smile. "Wait for us to survive this battle. We\'ll do our best to help the humans!"
"Don\'t worry, the Strength race\'s business is my business," Wang Ye laughed.
What is a real middleman?
He had to satisfy both sides!
The Spirit race wanted to bypass him and find the Strength race.
Not to mention that the Strength race was wary and didn\'t trust them from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if they managed to reach a cooperation, he had countless ways to make their trust go bankrupt.
He might even secretly attack and heavily injure the Spirit race!
Although he wasn\'t very good at destroying things, he was still a little worried.
But even the gentlest person would fight back when pushed too far!
"Success!" Wang Ye came out of Natural Star, glowing!
The Spirit race\'s plan had failed.
However, his plan had been completed!
He earned a lot and he decided to go home!
