The Geared Immortal

Chapter 999

(Unedited)

…

The young man kept talking on the side while Shin Jiao listens and Maga Luan has a strange expression on her face. Shin Jiao did not want to expose his own identity as he just wanted to listen to the meeting that is about to start.

But there are those who already recognized him within the leaders and were feeling a bit confused why he did not approach them.

They did not understand what he wanted to do, but they did not want to expose him and kept theirs though to themselves.

Right at this time, the large doors of the meeting hall opened and a few figures came walking in.

Luna Halil, Ji Ha-jun, and a few people whom Shin Jiao have seen and have not seen enter the hall.

When they enter, the hall everyone turned silent and waited for the group to take their seats. At this time, Luna is looking at Shin Jiao and Maga Luan with a questioning gaze.

Maga on the side just shrugs her shoulder at the questioning gaze sent to her by Luna.

Ji Ha-jun stood up and greeted everyone in the hall especially the special visitors. He then directly introduces a particular figure amongst the powerful people inside the hall.

He called that man, the ambassador from the demi-god race, and he goes by the name, Siloworg.

When he called the man's name, a tall figure stood up with a well-built body and his skin seems a bit green with some traces of scales on them.

When Shin Jiao saw that guy, he knew that the guy is someone from the dragon race.

He has had dealings with the dragon race before, it was that rough-looking fellow named Grukal of the titan dragon race.

Although they both are dragons, he could tell that this one has a sense of finesse in his movements and has an air of a statesman.

Shin Jiao could not help but scrutinize the 'man' as he could feel a strong aura in his body.

"This guy is at the peak of the saint's realm and is nearing to breakthrough to become a deity…" he thought while looking at the aura covering the body of the man.

As he scrutinized, it seems that the guy could feel his gaze as he shifted his attention towards his direction. Shin Jiao was not flustered and just gave the guy a nod.

As if taken aback, the guy knitted his brow but did not bother with Shin Jiao.

Siloworg then stood up and walked to the front of the many people.

"Hello… I am Siloworg, a member of the dragon race's parliament… I am here at the behest of our emperor to negotiate with the humans… It all began when the titan dragon race, has paraded the technology in front of the emperor and we have seen great potential in it. And ever since the cooperation with the Ji village, the dragon race has fully enjoyed the benefit of the partnership. And now I am here once again to make a deal…"

With his words, everyone turned to each other and then began to whisper.

"Ambassador Siloworg! We have been in cooperation with the dragon race for some time now… Could you tell us what is the request of the dragon emperor?" one of the saint rulers in the front seat asked.

Hearing this question, Siloworg smiles and then nodded his head towards a woman beside him.

That woman then made a few documents float in the air and landed on each of the people in the front.

"These are the condition… We would like to discuss the spread of virtual technology in the dragon race territory…"

Upon hearing this, everyone began whispering once again as they did not know whether it is fine to spread this thing to the other races.

In fact, virtual technology has been very useful to every human clan and their people. For the past few months, a lot of the humans have improved their fighting capability and have been of great help in the battle against the shadow beings and the demons.

The other races have learned of this and wanted a piece of the technology, however, there are many who have intervened to stop the other races from forcefully taking the technology.

And now, the dragon race, one of the hegemonies of the immortal land proposed collaboration in exchange for their protection.

The other races wanted to use the technology in secret, however, Luna Halil and Maga Luan have already made a move in advance and blocked other races from entering the virtual world.

Well, it is actually no problem, but since this is a world of souls, the huge body of the dragons and giants would surely be a bit of a problem in the virtual world and might even wreck it. So, how could the two ladies let this happen?

When the others saw the documents they all nodded their heads in expectation.

Luna felt a bit depressed upon seeing the reaction of the people around them. She actually did not want this kind of condition; it is a bit difficult for her to decide right now.

She has discussed this with Ji Ha-jun, but they did not come up with an answer.

Shin Jiao saw her reaction and knew that he needed to step in. And so, he carefully stood up and walk in the front.

When the people saw this they all showed confused expressions. But those that knew Shin Jiao showed a smile on their faces.

They have heard that he has returned, so they are wondering when he would once again take the helm of the village and lead them.

"Hello… I am Shin Jiao… for those of you who do not know me…" he introduced.

When the people heard this, they all showed surprised expressions on their faces. Those that knew him did not say a word and just nodded their heads.

"Ambassador Siloworg… I am here to say I'm sorry but the virtual technology would not be available for the other races at the moment…" he said.

Upon hearing this, the elated expressions on some of the people turned into a frown.

How could they accept such news, especially the ambassador?

"You are the leader of this group, right? Why is it that you wanted our race to deny access to the virtual world?" Siloworg asked.

Although he feels a bit annoyed, yet he is not showing it in his face.

"It's simple… Dragons are huge creatures, although you can transform into a human form, yet your soul is that of a dragon still… so if you enter the virtual world, that place would be a bit cramped for your race, right?" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the expression of Siloworg turned heavy. The other races already knew that the virtual world would project one's true soul and that is why anything one can learn inside that world would become a true experience in the real world.

This is the main reason why other races wanted their hands in the tech.

Learning pace would hasten, the fighting experience would develop faster, and the one could develop any skill he wanted if he wanted to without the worry of them having a lower or higher cultivation level.

And this is the reason, why in these few months that the virtual technology was spread through the humans, many of the saint rulers who hesitated to leave the planet and go to war has now decided to go out. So how could the other race not want such a thing? But the humans seemed to have blocked their access and no matter how hard they try they could not enter it.

The changes in the expression of the ambassador were caught by Shin Jiao. He then showed a faint smile and then took out a helmet from his dimension.

"I know that it is not what you wanted. Well, we could not do anything about it either…" Shin Jiao said while shrugging his shoulders.

"However… I propose an alternative…" he suddenly said with a teasing smile.

On his hand is a helmet that looks like the virtual helmet but a bit bigger.

"When I was away, I discovered something… And because of that discovery, I was able to make this…" he said while waving the helmet in the air.

Everyone showed a hint of curiosity in their gazes. They are all familiar with the shape and size of the virtual helmet, but seeing that the thing is a bit bulky, they all showed confusion.

Shin Jiao then carefully opens the back of the helmet.

From there, everyone saw the slightly glowing arrays and a mysterious-looking stone.

Confusion could be seen and heard inside the hall. But then suddenly, they saw the ambassador taking a few steps back.

"You… Where… Where did you get that stone?" Siloworg asked with trembling hands while pointing at Shin Jiao and the new virtual helmet in his hand.

  The expression on the dragon ambassador's face made Shin Jiao smile a bit.. For some reason, he suddenly feels a bit excited.
