Chapter 792: Chapter 21 The Choice of the Nine Heavens World_3

Bai Yue remained silent—she knew Hei Yang was speaking the truth.

If it was possible to preserve the Nine Heavens World,

They would rather stay.

As long as the Nine Heavens World existed, even if they faced restrictions later, it wasn’t entirely hopeless.

Seeing Bai Yue not speaking, Hei Yang continued, “Moreover, even if we stay, our ultimate plan won’t be affected much. After all, if we want to leave, we can do so at any time.”

Bai Yue suddenly looked up, understanding Hei Yang’s point.

As Tenth Realm powerhouses, they would not be constrained by the world; if they wished to leave, they could do so at any time, without much rush.

Rather than risking it all on a future gamble, it was better to submit first—submission wouldn’t affect their cultivation pace.

They could develop slowly.

With the Nine Heavens Opening Sword at hand, they could gamble at any time.

But Bai Yue still had doubts.

“Can we really do this, Daluo World wouldn’t let us off so easily, would they?”

“That’s why we need to talk. Since we’re offering ourselves willingly, Daluo World should welcome us. Some seemingly minor requests shouldn’t face much opposition.”

Eventually, Bai Yue also nodded.

This seemed to be the best way.

After settling on a plan, Hei Yang went to look for Hua Yu.

“Messenger Hua Yu, we have reached a decision.”

Hearing the address of “messenger,” Hua Yu knew Hei Yang’s choice: “It seems you’ve made the most correct decision.”

Hei Yang then said, “Messenger, I want to know, what changes will there be if the Nine Heavens World joins the Daluo World?”

“Don’t worry. As Tenth Realm powerhouses, even in Daluo World you’d be among the top, and you will be treated accordingly.”

Hei Yang didn’t respond. Such vague assurances—he definitely wouldn’t accept them. So he continued, “Messenger, I want more detailed information!”

“Good treatment” was just a pie in the sky to him.

Without specifics, everything was false.

Hua Yu hadn’t expected the Nine Heavens World to submit so easily, but this wasn’t something he could decide, so he said, “I’ll need to consult on that.”

“Please do!”

The messenger left the Nine Heavens World, entering the stars.

Daluo World naturally had its own methods of communication.

Shortly thereafter, he was in contact with the Heavenly Emperor.

The image of the Heavenly Emperor appeared among the stars, and Hua Yu immediately prostrated himself.

“Speak!”

Knowing the Heavenly Emperor disliked idle talk, Hua Yu briefly explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor’s gaze sharpened: “So, the people of the Nine Heavens World want to negotiate terms with me?”

Even as a Tenth Realm being, Hua Yu nearly lost his composure.

He had almost forgotten how domineering the Heavenly Emperor was.

No one could negotiate terms with the Heavenly Emperor!

It was the same for the Nine Heavens World.

Either submit or be destroyed.

“Your Majesty, it is my fault.” Hua Yu already knew what he had to do.

The Heavenly Emperor slightly lifted his eyes, saying coldly, “Have them surrender their treasures and legacies, then vacate their main world.”

Becoming an Eleventh Realm powerhouse in this era, the Heavenly Emperor had many secrets of his own.

Thus, he knew well that the strongest in the Nine Heavens World possessed no ordinary items.

Accustomed to dominance, he wanted everything in his grasp.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Hua Yu naturally agreed to whatever the Heavenly Emperor said.

The Heavenly Emperor left, and Hua Yu remained silent for a long time.

“The Heavenly Emperor is too domineering!”

Of course, these words he could only say far from the Heavenly Emperor, in the stars.

And even feeling this way, he had no choice but to comply.

He was a vassal forever.

Not long after, Hua Yu and Hei Yang met again.

“Messenger, how is the situation?” In Hei Yang’s view, the conditions would definitely be harsh, but with two Tenth Realm beings present, it shouldn’t be too unreasonable.

However—

“The Heavenly Emperor has decreed, surrender your Secret Treasures and legacies, offer up the main world, and then submit to Daluo World as you join.”

Upon hearing this, Hei Yang thought he had misheard.

“Messenger, are you joking?”

“The Heavenly Emperor dislikes negotiating terms. If you’re unwilling, you won’t have a choice when the time comes.”

Hei Yang looked deeply at Hua Yu, clenched his teeth, and said, “Messenger, we need to think this over further.”

Secret Treasures, legacies, and the main world!

There were many things they could give up, even the main world wasn’t indispensable.

But once they surrendered the Secret Treasures and legacies, the Nine Heavens World would entirely lose its way out.

Especially the Secret Treasures—once given up, the Nine Heavens World would be destroyed.

In that case, why would they submit?

However, he wouldn’t just rip his face off yet.

Hua Yu glanced at Hei Yang, not taking offense; although confident in himself, he wouldn’t be foolish in someone else’s home field.

“Please decide quickly then. The Heavenly Emperor is busy and not very patient.”

The two parted soon after.

Hei Yang returned to the Nine Heavens World.

Before Bai Yue could speak, he said, “Prepare a backup plan, start moving the creatures of the Nine Heavens World…”

“What happened?”

Hei Yang briefly explained the situation.

“If the Nine Heavens World must be destroyed, it’s better destroyed in our hands; we won’t give anything to Daluo World.”

Bai Yue pondered for a while, then said, “Can we offer a different Secret Treasure?”

As Tenth Realm beings, they naturally had not only the Nine Heavens Opening Sword but also other Starry Sky Secret Treasures, albeit not as powerful.

“Most likely not. From what Hua Yu implied, that Heavenly Emperor is very domineering and powerful. If it’s just any item, he will likely see through it.”
