"But, isn't it because the Demon Spear wants something from us that it wants to obtain the Immortal Ancient God Formation?"
"So why get stuck on the details and try to stop it?"
"Instead of taking this opportunity to make some useful demands of the Demon Spear?"
A glimmer of shrewdness flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes.
The councilors present fell into a deathly silence.
This old man is no ordinary person.
He represents himself.
Or did it represent the entire group of ancient people and express their overall attitude towards this matter?
If it's the former, there's likely still room for debate.
But the latter...
Once the ancients come out and set the tone, the plan to dismantle the ancient gods and immortals can probably be completely abandoned!
Whether it was the Immortal Ancient God-Constructing Faction, the All Things Furnace Faction, or the other neutral councilors, their hearts were in their throats at this moment.
The situation is about to change dramatically.
I was incredibly nervous!
The old man coughed lightly and said, "Let me offer a suggestion as a starting point. For example, let the Demon Spear swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, to be forever friends with the Star Alliance..."
"Or exchange those ancient secrets with him."
"Given the potential of the Demon Gun, one can imagine that it has an extraordinary background and must possess many technologies that the Star Alliance has long lost."
"For example, the internal furnace method is one such example."
The old man seemed to sigh and said, "We old folks are quite curious... does he possess any ancient methods of prolonging life?"
"Of course, what I said was just a starting point."
"Our next task is to figure out how to get the Demon Gunner to agree to the appropriate terms without making him resentful, so that we can discuss the specific terms."
The members of parliament were deeply disturbed.
Life extension methods...
Coveting ancient methods of prolonging life?
Indeed, many of the ancients are now nearing the end of their lifespan.
The Star Alliance, having already set the time for the decisive battle, did not actually allocate many resources to researching life-extending methods.
After all, the vast majority of Star Alliance cultivators don't need it!
And the ancients could not possibly act unilaterally.
But now, they seem to be eyeing Lin Ye's ancient immortal inheritance, and the life-extending methods they might obtain from it.
Behind this, there may be a shared opinion among several ancient high-ranking figures who are nearing the end of their lives.
in other words...
Although this is only one of their considerations.
This does not mean that one absolutely must obtain life-extending methods.
But this undoubtedly symbolizes that the old man's current proposal represents the collective opinion of the ancients.
The lawmakers couldn't help but hold their breath.
It seems.
The matter has been settled!
They actually chose to give up a very tempting 20% chance of winning.
Ultimately, it all started with just one person: Demon Spear Lin Ye.
Even the ancients had to compromise for his power!
The fact that a powerful cultivator could single-handedly bring about such a dramatic change in the situation gave the councilors an unprecedented shock.
"...Isn't the situation clear now?"
The deputy speaker scanned the crowd and said, "Since we've all gathered here, let's change the meeting agenda on the spot..."
"What demands should we make to the Demon Spear to get to the heart of the matter?"
Please feel free to speak your mind.
Upon hearing this, the dismantling-oriented lawmakers felt a chill run down their spines.
The plan to dismantle the ancient immortal structure will be declared a failure...
The situation is over!

half a month later.
"Methods to prolong life...?"
Lin Ye seemed to be deep in thought.
If we're talking about life-extending methods that the Star Alliance doesn't have, he actually does!
The Star Alliance initiated formal consultations with Lin Ye two weeks ago.
Because Lin Ye had a very well-equipped negotiation team led by Xia Qingran.
Therefore, taking this into consideration, the Star Alliance did not hold back.
They started by making outrageous demands.
Almost everything they wanted was asked for.
However, after several rounds of negotiations.
The plan has finally come to a satisfactory conclusion.
Basically, Lin Ye can obtain the Immortal Ancient God and gain the status of a guardian of the Star Alliance.
However, the Guardians also need to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, promising not to repay the Star Alliance with enmity.
The so-called Star Alliance Guardian is a newly created position specifically for this period of time.
If Lin Ye agrees, after accumulating experience for a period of time...
He will receive the medal along with Mad Sword Dark Star.
As for the oath against repaying kindness with enmity, the Star Alliance would be even more hostile if they failed to show him any kindness...
That's another matter.
This was much more lenient than the initially more stringent oath demanded by the other party, and it was something Xia Qingran had negotiated for.
Lin Ye felt that accepting this was fine.
You must have done him a favor first.
Only then can there be a restriction against repaying kindness with enmity.
These ambiguous vows, though without a fixed standard.
However, within the framework of the oath of Heaven, it is generally possible to maintain fairness to both parties as much as possible.
This matter originally only concerned Lin Ye.
But the Covenant was probably trying to share the firepower.
Then, taking the opportunity, he also brought up Mad Sword and Dark Star.
Then they created the honorary position of Guardian.
Because it involved their future positions within the Star Alliance, both Dark Star Martial God and Mad Sword Martial God were very concerned about the progress of the negotiations.
However, they have only begun to pay attention to this matter and have not yet sent anyone to lend a hand.
The capable Lord Xia had already negotiated a lower price for Lin Ye during the negotiations.
Incidentally, the two of them also benefited.
After the negotiation terms were agreed upon, both men sent congratulatory messages.
Expressed very satisfied.
A few days later.
The congratulatory telegram wasn't enough; this was the first time the three of them had finally gathered together.
Even the Mad Sword God of War climbed out of his underwater secret realm, where he hadn't left for several years.
"This time, I would also like to formally congratulate you on successfully piloting the Immortal Ancient Divine Machine... You're truly amazing!"
"That level of difficulty is something we would all shy away from. Congratulations!"
Kuang Jian raised his glass and started drinking, a hint of envy in his eyes.
Dark Star also spoke sincerely.
This weapon, which even Lin Ye, at the Golden Core stage, could not effectively use even when they reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, was a decisive weapon.
The two of them were truly convinced.
You can't argue with that, it's outrageous.
Lin Ye was able to achieve short-term, effortless control because the unusual small tree was perfectly suited to the semi-active woody nature of the ancient divine structure.
This cannot be told to the two of them.
"Haha, drink!"
After a few cups of spirit wine.
Kuang Jian drank heartily, but his face flushed red with excitement as he said, "And the negotiations with the Guardian... Thank you, Brother Lin Ye!"
Lin Ye laughed heartily: "No need to thank me, it's only right."
"I really hate it when the Star Alliance forces us to sign this damned Heavenly Dao Oath!"
"If there is still a chance for things to turn around."
"It would be best to revise this thing again!" Kuang Jian waved his hand. "But I think... Brother Lin Ye, the current plan is already much better."
Dark Star, however, remained calm and unperturbed.
“The Star Alliance will eventually reap the rewards for the investment and nurturing they have invested in us over the years.”
"I'm willing to risk my life, yet they're so wary of me."
Mad Swordsman sighed dejectedly.
"Heh, the relationship between the individual and the collective is complicated..."
Dark Star couldn't help but sigh.
After the party.
Lin Ye felt that because of this matter concerning the guardian, his relationship with the two of them seemed to have grown much closer.
After all, in a certain sense.
In the entire Star Alliance, only those three could be considered to be of the same kind.
The other two were also very aware of this.
Apart from the requirement of being a guardian.
The Star Alliance also made demands regarding the ancient technology that Lin Ye might possess.
Of course, they will also make the corresponding technology public in exchange.
It's not like I'm freeloading.
Lin Ye welcomed this.
Technology is always good when it's in motion!
