Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 560 - 316: Forced to Be Friendly (2)
However, their understanding of these Level Ten Wizards is inherently insufficient.
Not to mention, there is a significant possibility that the current Level Ten Wizards are already deeply entangled in a crisis, unable to attend to other matters.
In such a case, any kind of scenario could occur.
Given this—
Wizard Shen Yu communicated with the four Celestial Emperors.
In an instant, four auras appeared across the Plane, manifesting in this City of Truth.
Although they were not as overt and high-profile as the Buddha and Zhen Yuanzi, they were enough to be felt by all the high-level wizards.
At this, these Level Eight and Level Nine Wizards were first shocked, then somewhat delighted.
This newly emerged influence possesses so many Level Ten Life Forms, which naturally astounds them, because it implies that the power they now face might not be much weaker than their Wizard Civilization.
They had initially thought that civilizations like this no longer existed.
As for the delight, it’s because if this civilization is stronger, then their Level Ten Wizards would have to be more cautious.
And they would not, nor could they, easily commence a battle.
Indeed, after sensing that as many as four Level Ten Life Forms were preparing beyond the Plane, the four Level Ten Wizards present gradually, slowly retracted their auras and their previously barely concealed intentions to attack.
"Our expansion and conquest are simply for benefits," one Level Ten Wizard straightforwardly stated, "Given the strength of your civilization, we are, of course, willing to coexist peacefully and obtain benefits through mutual cooperation and win-win methods."
Such words could not be more direct.
They nearly stated outright that the cost of fighting you now is too high, so we can cooperate for mutual benefit.
However, at this level, it’s precisely this manner of communication that is the most appropriate.
If empty words were spoken, they wouldn’t convince anyone.
No one would fail to see through it.
Instead, these words appear more genuine and effective.
Subsequently, the Buddha and Zhen Yuanzi, following this pattern, had a brief discussion and immediately established a basic cooperative trade framework, promoting this to both civilizations entirely.
Everyone understands, even those Level Eight and Level Nine Wizards can understand.
This style is simply to gain a better understanding.
Once the strength of both sides is clear, and it’s discovered that war brings more benefits, then war would be the immediate choice.
Yet many Level Eight and Level Nine Wizards also understand.
This calamity before them is barely considered passed.
"Buddha and Taoist Civilization..."
As the Buddha and Zhen Yuanzi left, countless wizards silently recited the names of these two civilizations.
Soon, some Level Nine Wizard influences had already established certain trade relations with these two civilizations, and this matter couldn’t be kept secret.
Immediately, these civilizations became a hot commodity within the Wizard Civilization.
Even the influence established by Wizard Shen Yu attracted a great deal of attention, with more than a dozen Level Eight Wizards applying to join.
Fortunately, the temporary tone between the two civilizations was that of amicable relations.
Otherwise, this batch of Level Nine Wizard influences would not be such hot commodities now and would instead become the target of public criticism in an instant.
"This first step is considered completed." Wizard Shen Yu felt a bit excited but quickly calmed down. He glanced at Main Body Shen Yu and Lady Nuwa’s incarnations and smiled, saying, "The subsequent steps will take some time. Why don’t the two of you take on an identity and enjoy a tour in this Wizard Civilization?"
"That’s not a bad idea." Lady Nuwa’s eyes brightened slightly, and before Shen Yu spoke, she nodded directly.
In this Wizard World, as long as Wizard Shen Yu speaks, everything goes smoothly.
However, after a brief consideration, Shen Yu shook his head.
"Send someone to accompany Madam Nuwa for a tour. I still have plenty to attend to." The world where Main Body Shen Yu resided was temporarily stable, but not without issues.
Firstly, Shen Yu needs to prepare for breaking through to the Daluo Golden Immortal level.
Secondly, the Human Civilization Alliance is currently in a crucial phase of reform and transformation, requiring Shen Yu’s decisions.
As for whether Lady Nuwa would encounter problems alone, Shen Yu wasn’t too worried.
She herself exists as the strongest force in this world.
Thus, Shen Yu left just like that.
Following this, the relationship between the Wizard Civilization and the Buddha and Taoist Civilization rapidly deepened in a very short period.
The entire Wizard Civilization was aware that they had established contact with an incredibly powerful civilization, representing a completely new system of power, new knowledge, and new technology.
For a time, wizards of all kinds scrambled to establish trade relations by various means.
Even if it’s just trade and not plunder, the benefits gained are greater than plundering some weaker worlds.
And in this process, some voices also spread and proliferated among the high echelons of Wizard Civilization along with the trade contacts.
"It seems like your Level Ten Wizards have some issues."
"Our Celestial Emperor has mentioned that your Level Ten Wizards are conducting some very dangerous experiments."
"It seems that your Wizard Civilization has been destroyed more than once."
"The number of Level Nine Life Forms we have is dozens of times yours, and that’s the normal count!"
"..."
These voices, although obviously purposeful, state the truth.
It’s something that anyone with clear vision can see.
Their Level Ten Wizards indeed didn’t pay much attention to the Wizard Civilization, which has persisted for hundreds of thousands of years and conquered countless Planes yet seems indomitable.
Those exalted beings are only concerned with themselves.
Moreover, they indeed are conducting very dangerous experiments.
No one understands themselves better than the wizards do.
If it achieves their goals and the pursuit of truth, there’s nothing that can’t be sacrificed.
The issue is that nobody wants to become the "sacrifice" themselves.
Moreover, this new civilization, apparently possessing equally powerful Level Ten Life Forms, seems to have an entirely different style from the Wizard Civilization.
They appear less free, with stricter order and stricter rules. Yet, the Daluo Golden Immortals do not remain aloof like the Level Ten Wizards!
The relationship with other weaker life forms, such as Level Nine, Level Eight, and even Level Seven Life Forms, is more intimate.
Wizards have even witnessed Daluo Golden Immortals, as Level Ten Life Forms, personally teaching ordinary disciples wisdom and conveying truths!
And it’s almost free of charge.
This is something that could hardly occur within the Wizard Civilization.
Though they also have a disciple system, most "disciples" are just cheap laborers.
Let alone the Level Ten Wizards, who, like deities, look down upon the entire Wizard Civilization.
Thus, although contact has been brief, with deeper interactions and information widely spreading, more and more high-level wizards seem to consider changing the Immortal Court.
Even if the Wizard Civilization’s image of strength has been deeply rooted over countless years.
Yet, a seed has already been planted.
And this is Wizard Shen Yu’s core intent.
"We estimate that in about seven or eight years, we can begin taking action." Wizard Shen Yu gave a precise prediction. "Once we eliminate the highest council of the Wizard Civilization and that creature that has reached the Pseudo-Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal level, we can take over the entire Wizard Civilization with minimal loss."
Indeed, everything they did was to minimize damage to the Wizard Civilization.
Otherwise, they would have fought already.
Needless to say, temporarily dispatching over a dozen Daluo Golden Immortals here isn’t difficult.
