Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 542 - 307: Tactics of Appeasement (Part 2)

Chapter 542: Chapter 307: Tactics of Appeasement (Part 2)

Therefore, he was indeed the best choice as an emissary.

And facing the delegation of the Wizard Civilization, both the Buddha and Daoist sects had prepared as expected by the Wizard Civilization.

A reception occurred.

Naturally, neither the Buddha nor Zhen Yuanzi went in person.

Instead, a Bodhisattva of Taiyi Golden Immortal level and a Taiyi Golden Immortal came forward.

Just this initial meeting already gave Hui’Er quite a shock.

Because these two were just one step away from becoming Daluo Golden Immortals!

Though it’s possible they might never take that step, their power clearly already exceeded Hui’Er, and even any one among the gathered Level Nine Wizards.

In the entire Wizard Civilization, there couldn’t be found many of such prowess.

Especially after a brief conversation, Hui’Er was horrified to discover that these two were not even the strongest within these two factions!

An extremely terrifying, even horrific thought appeared in his mind.

Level Ten Life Form!

An entity at the pinnacle of the Wizard Civilization, or even the entire multi-dimensional universe.

Even if the Wizard Civilization has been destroyed multiple times, beings of this level have remained undefeated, truly dominating everything with power.

However, as Hui’Er hesitated about whether to further convey his speculations and possibly cause a stir across countless civilizations, he discovered once again, that these two civilizations were extremely peace-loving.

Further words on the Buddhist sect are unnecessary.

Although it’s more about the faith civilization, its essence is still teaching goodness.

The Daoist Sect is similar.

Though it focuses on freedom and leisure, it emphasizes the unity of heaven and humanity, natural harmony.

This is directly written in the sect rules.

This is also the reason these two vastly differing sects can coexist harmoniously.

Between them, there has hardly been any large-scale war or conflict!

To Hui’Er, this was simply unbelievable.

But he did not believe they were falsifying anything.

After all, these matters cannot be concealed, even those behind the scenes at the level of the Association have not made any changes.

Aside from some dark myths, at most, the Buddha and Daoist sects just have more scheming, more calculations, more lofty control, but truly few among them are complete villains.

Even if there are, it’s the person that’s bad, not the path.

In summary, after realizing this point, unsurprisingly, a bold and radical plan emerged in Hui’Er’s mind.

Thus, upon his return, he directly presented his opinion to everyone.

"These two civilizations are far stronger than we anticipated, but perhaps not as dangerous as we imagined." Hui’Er generously shared all his observations and viewpoints, "They are even less interested in invading other planes, focusing more on their own growth. Hence, the number of planes they occupy is so few, yet their strength is immense. I believe this is definitely a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for us!"

All participants of the meeting were Level Nine Wizards.

No fools.

They quickly grasped what Hui’Er wanted to convey.

If the other side truly has Level Ten Life Forms, then even without any resources, the mere existence of Level Ten Life Forms represents enormous benefit.

Not to mention the extraordinary path leading to Level Ten Life Forms!

The Wizard Path is undoubtedly powerful, but its greatest strength lies in accommodating other paths.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many types of wizards.

Such as Technology Wizards, Bloodline Wizards, Dimension Wizards...

All integrating different extraordinary paths into the Wizard Path.

And if indeed we can engage in friendly exchanges with the influences of two Level Ten Wizards in a peaceful manner, the benefits are truly unimaginable.

Not mentioning the chance to strive towards becoming a Level Ten Wizard, though the opportunity is definitely enough to gain resources previously unimaginable in a very short time.

This far outweighs reporting these two influences to the entire Wizard Civilization to gain profit!

"We can try from this direction, but we also need to be cautious." The other wizards were indeed persuaded, but also pointed out the need to be wary, "No matter what, interacting with entities far exceeding our power is extremely dangerous. Even if the other side seems friendly, we cannot let our guard down. The whole process of cooperation and gaining profit should steadily progress, and if we detect anything amiss, we must immediately withdraw and report to the Supreme Wizard Meeting." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"..."

Altogether, eight Level Nine Wizards, five wizard influences, all chose to agree.

This is indeed one of the shortcomings of the Wizard Civilization.

Though they bloom in many respects, with a variety of styles, excelling in many domains.

But as a whole, the Wizard Civilization is not considered united.

Everyone, every influence, prioritizes their own interest, merely considering the Wizard Civilization as a "special background environment" without possessing a genuine love or sense of belonging towards the Wizard Civilization.

Though it’s understandable.

Any mighty wizard, knowing the Wizard Civilization has been destroyed more than once, must be cautious to avoid becoming a destroyed entity oneself.

Thus, a larger and more formal delegation visited the Buddha and Daoist sects once more.

Moreover, a series of friendly trade proposals were formally presented.

Because of the Buddhist and Daoist sects’ expression of little interest in profit, thus their "Buddhist" attitude, the wizards inevitably became the more demanding side in the trade.

This required them to pay more.

At this point, the Association’s purpose can be considered initially achieved.

"The technology and resources we want can be gained through trade, and simultaneously we have the opportunity to delve into the systems of the Wizard Civilization. Not to mention investigating the progress of the apocalypse crisis, just the ability to save more people when the crisis erupts is already a huge gain." Wizard Shen Yu, in front of the Buddha and Zhen Yuanzi, showed no restraint in expressing his satisfaction, even said boldly, "This is all thanks to you two. Apart from the previously agreed compensation, is there anything else you two want?"

Inviting the Buddha and Zhen Yuanzi to bring along their disciples, the compensation offered was indeed high.

It even included the Gray Mist itself.

Of course, this Gray Mist was presented in the form of "Association Points," lacking an all-powerful effect.

Instead, it listed a catalog achievable through Association Points.

This included various powerful Magical Treasures, opportunities to answer questions, direct realm promotion, as well as many other options showing the early strength of the Association.

It even included the exploration of new All Heavens Worlds.

Evidently, the value of Association Points speaks for itself, Wizard Shen Yu was not referring to Association Points, but things directly obtainable from within the Wizard Civilization.

While the Buddha and Zhen Yuanzi, without any prior consultation, proposed the same request.

"When a calamity erupts in this world later, we hope to participate."

Faced with such a request, Wizard Shen Yu narrowed his eyes, contemplatively gazing at the two.

"Have you two sensed something?" Wizard Shen Yu asked straightforwardly.

"In this realm, a Saint is gradually forming." Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly, speaking ahead of the Buddha, "We can sense that the world’s rules are incomplete, originally insufficient to support its Saint Fruit Position, but things are indeed different now. Although that Saint Fruit Position is clearly incomplete, aberrant, and evil compared to us in the Primordial World, it can still be considered as reference."
