Chapter 720: Chapter 391: Wood Race Da Luo, Tempting Proposal (Part 4)
However, just as he finished speaking without turning around, an elderly voice resonated in his ear:
"Young friend, please come in and discuss!"
Su Yu turned back to ponder briefly, then stepped forward and instantly traversed hundreds of kilometers to appear in front of the tower at the center of the palace group. A portal of light opened, and he fearlessly stepped into it, reappearing in an incomparably spacious hall filled with Spiritual Qi, where an elder with white hair and beard sat on a cloud bed at the top.
"Please sit!"
Su Yu clasped his fists in a salute and said solemnly:
"A disciple of Jie Sect, Su Yu, pays respect to the senior."
The elder replied:
"I am Qingmu, fellow beings call me Qingmu Zun."
Su Yu’s expression became solemn, as he had heard this name before. During gatherings with his senior brothers and sisters, they introduced names of famous Daluo-level powerhouses in the Earth Immortal realm, including Qingmu Zun.
This person was born in the Primordial Era but attained enlightenment after its fragmentation, before the consecration, so he is not among the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace, but still one of the renowned powers in the Earth Immortal realm.
He attained enlightenment through Wood Element Law. Since he is not one of the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace and did not join the lineage of the Three Pure Ones, he did not inherit from the three thousand guests, thus he condensed a Taiyi Dao Fruit instead of a Daluo Dao Fruit.
In other words, he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, not a Daluo Golden Immortal.
At the same time, he is the creator of the Wood Race, who imitated the Human Race during this cosmic catastrophe and crafted the Wood Race to compete for destiny, but unexpectedly, it was the first race to be eliminated.
Su Yu sat down, and Qingmu Zun immediately spoke directly:
"I want to propose a trade with you, young friend, do you have any interest?"
Su Yu raised an eyebrow and said:
"What trade? If you’re looking for help, that’s impossible."
Qingmu Zun laughed:
"The Wood Race has already lost, with no hope to turn the tide, and you belong to the Human Race, a rival to my race, how could I ask you for help."
"I have accepted my fate and plan to withdraw, but since Tianling was the first to attack me, I don’t mind making things difficult for him."
"With your status and power, you should be one of the rulers of Human Race civilization, qualified to convene a meeting to propose a full-scale war against other civilizations. You could initiate a full-scale war against the Wood Race, and I will grant you access to the Immortal Library of the Wood Race, gifting you vast fortune."
"Vast fortune?"
Su Yu understood what Qingmu Zun meant; he wished for the Wood Race not to be defeated at the hands of the Half-Spirit People, but instead to stage a defeat by the hands of the Human Race.
Upon careful consideration, Su Yu ultimately shook his head in refusal:
"Thank you for your high regard, senior, but after consideration, I find it does not greatly benefit my Human Race."
Qingmu Zun expressed surprise and said:
"Although your Human Race hasn’t come yet, extinguishing a race single-handedly would only earn you half the destiny, yet combined with the Immortal Library’s gains, exceeds the Half-Spirit People’s benefits. This could immensely bolster your Human Race’s foundations, why not do it?"
"Or, do you not trust me, old man?"
Su Yu shook his head:
"I hadn’t considered that point; it’s just that I don’t wish to become the target of all."
He suggested:
"How about this, the Immortal Library goes to me, the destiny goes to the Half-Spirit People. As the first to act and seize a race’s destiny, the Half-Spirit People’s strength will certainly raise other races’ vigilance, perhaps inciting them to unite, this suggests making life harder for the Half-Spirit People more effectively than your proposal, senior."
Qingmu Zun fell into contemplation.
Su Yu chuckled inwardly, the old man thought he could dig a pit for me, wishful thinking.
Being the first to extinguish other player civilizations isn’t a good reputation, he certainly wouldn’t cooperate with Qingmu Zun for half the destiny.
The Human Race currently lacks neither destiny nor fortune, the destiny he received from the Saint he apprenticed under exceeds the combined total of exterminating dozens of civilizations. It is more than sufficient at present. Next, they need to focus on digesting the rapid increase in destiny and fortune, with the race’s overall strength rapidly growing, they don’t need these small benefits at all to become the center of attention among other civilizations.
