The black hole in the sky stayed there for an entire week before fading away.
Within this week, Gao Peng saw no more Mutated people appear. Even the aristocrats of the Mutated Tribes in the dynasties near the other end of the Spatial Tunnel were moving away from this region.
A while later, Mutated people came to negotiate a peace treaty between the two clans. Gao Peng handed these matters over to his grandfather.
The Mutated Tribe had been living in Jiutian Shidi for over 10,000 years, so there was no way to drive them out completely within a short time. This was a long process. Even back then, the Mutated Tribe hadn’t just driven the Human Clan away, but spent decades removing most of them from Jiutian Shidi.
After the black hole was gone, a transparent Spatial godhood appeared in its place.
Silly appeared next to the Spatial godhood in a flash. It was very sensitive to spatial auras, so it noticed this godhood early on. However, its aura was concealed by the turbulence from before, and Silly didn’t dare to go into the frantic spatial turbulence carelessly. Jormungtydr’s corpse was still warm.
Silly hid the Spatial godhood away. After checking left and right that no one had seen, it giggled to itself. Then in another flash, it disappeared.
Silly took out the Spatial godhood in the basement. “Hmph, Gao Peng called me a dead fish. I’m going to slap your face and make you red-faced, Gao Peng!”
Silly’s tentacles enveloped the Spatial godhood, absorbing its power.
The space around Silly shook endlessly, sending out ripple upon ripple. Silly felt filled with energy. It felt like a boss!
“Gao Peng, Gao Peng, guess who I saw?!” Goldie rushed into the house excitedly.
“Flamy?”
“...” Goldie’s face was filled with discontent.
“How can you always guess?” Goldie said unhappily.
“Because I’m your master.” Gao Peng chuckled.
“All right.” Goldie scratched its head, thinking that was reasonable.
“Did Stripey return with Flamy and the others?”
“Uh, I didn’t notice,” Goldie said.
Gao Peng’s mouth twitched. “Stripey was so obvious and you didn’t notice? Then what do you notice?” he thought, annoyed.
“I just didn’t see!” Goldie said righteously.
The next second, thumps shook the ground.
Gao Peng understood. It looked like Stripey was back.
“Where are you, Gao Peng?”
From far away, Gao Peng heard Stripey’s voice.
“I’m here!” Gao Peng yelled.
Stripey didn’t hear him, as it was passing him by from a dozen miles away.
...
“All right, it’s my bad. You didn’t see me because I’m too short. Don’t be angry.” Gao Peng comforted Stripey while sitting on its head.
Stripey humphed. “Stripey’s not angry.”
Then Stripey’s tone became hurt. “Gao Peng, even Silly is a God, yet I’m not. Do you not like me anymore?”
“You’re talking badly about Silly again!” The air flashed, and Silly appeared over Stripey’s head, slapping Stripey with a tentacle. It said gleefully, “Listen up! From now on, I’m Gao Peng’s strongest familiar!”
Silly’s aura radiated—it had reached the peak of Elementary God.
Goldie scratched its head, saying in disbelief, “How did you get so strong?”
“Exactly.” Silly raised its head, waiting for others to praise it.
“You’re at Level 98. I left some Meat Essence with Dark Child, and if you absorb all of it, you can probably reach Level 100. You’ll be fine condensing godhoods, right?” Gao Peng patted Stripey’s head.
“Ugh!” Silly saw that no one had paid it any attention and flashed away grouchily.
“Caw,” a bird called from the distance, its voice sweet and crisp.
Gao Peng recognized it as Flamy’s voice. “Why is Flamy calling?” Gao Peng wondered.
Then Gao Peng noticed Goldie had an odd expression. It became uneasy and nervous, making up an excuse to leave on the spot.
Looking at Goldie’s back, Gao Peng’s expression was profound. Suddenly, he called for Goldie.
Goldie turned around in confusion.
“Let me give you something,” Gao Peng said.
He walked up and put a small bottle in Goldie’s hand mysteriously.
After Goldie saw what it was, it was astonished. “Gao Peng, why do you carry this kind of stuff around?!” it wondered.
...
“Absolutely not. Are you looking for peace or giving us handouts?” Old Ji Hanwu propped his arms on the table, stood up, and leaned forward slightly. His white eyebrows were like two sharp blades that gave his eyes a steely glint.
“We never lost. The region you’re talking about has always been our Ling Clan’s territory. We’ll never cede it to you!”
“The corpse in the sky is still warm, and you’re so confident?” Old Ji sneered. “The ‘always’ you talk about is just your imagination. You know very well what the truth is!”
“You’re demanding, too...”
“Then we’ll fight it out!” Ji Hanwu flipped the table.
“...” The person on the opposite side of the table opened his mouth.
There was no way they could fight. He’d received orders from above before his visit to pacify the Human Clan.
Knowing of Jormungtydr’s death, there was no way they could fight without knowing how Jormungtydr had died.
They needed to think of a plan for how to resist and target the Human Clan before they could continue fighting.
They didn’t need to be so noble just to avenge Jormungtydr.
It could have been possible 10,000 years earlier, but 10,000 years later, the people had changed.
They were no longer the conquerors of tribes, the heroes who led the rise of the Ling Clan.
They had become rulers, kings, and leaders.
They had lost their zeal and gained calmness.
“What are your terms?”
“The territories of Withered Country and Mingyu Country will belong to the Human Clan from now on.”
“All right.” The Ling Clan envoy nodded gloomily.
“Second...” Ji Hanwu smiled.
“There’s more?” The envoy was appalled.
“Of course there’s more. I never said there was only one condition.” Ji Hanwu was puzzled.
“...” The Ling Clan envoy smiled bitterly. “Go on.”
“Second, Stormy Country’s territory will become a Human Clan colony starting today.”
“A colony?” This was the first time the Ling Clan envoy had heard this word. “What’s that?”
Ji Hanwu took a thick stack of contracts out from a drawer.
“It’s okay if you don’t know. I can tell you in detail,” Ji Hanwu said with a smile, but this smirk looked cruel and evil to the Ling Clan envoy.
After the negotiations ended, the envoy walked out of the negotiation room with weak knees. He swore he would never go there again.
A few days later, the first batch of humans officially crossed over the Spatial Tunnel and entered Jiutian Shidi.
The Ling Clan people in Withered Country and Mingyu Country were transferred to other regions.
The Human Clan, which had been sealed for 10,000 years, were finally visible to all Ling Clan people, showing off rude and dominant attitudes!
