Chapter 567 Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
"It's you?" Fu Xiaojian seemed to recognize the familiar face as well.
"I didn't want to come." Fan Wanwan's expression was quite intriguing.
She stood on the back of a crimson dragon, her robes fluttering in the wind.
The face Xu Si remembered hadn't changed much, except that there was an inexplicable weariness in his eyes and brows.
"Actually, I should be the one going to find you guys," Xu Si said.
The opposing team, consisting of one dragon and one deer, were all taken aback.
As the chosen race in this event, it's understandable that Xu Si would attack their doorstep.
However, that was a rather blunt remark.
[Lou Mi Wang] exhaled rain and mist from its huge nostrils, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Si's words.
Fan Wanwan didn't know how to respond.
Neither Yilong nor Yilu seemed inclined to respond, clearly indicating that they had already discussed it beforehand, with Fan Wanwan likely serving as the main communicator.
She glanced up at the World Tree, but the discomfort in her life level made her shift her gaze away from the golden-green light, then back to Xu Si, pausing for a moment as if confirming something.
"You've indeed reached Sequence Nine."
Her tone was flat, but the last syllable rose slightly, as if in surprise, or perhaps with a sense of relief that she herself was unaware of.
Both the dragon and the deer frowned; at least Fu Xiaojian could tell they were indeed frowning.
This is also why [Lou Mi Wang] did not act rashly.
"So what?" Xu Si asked back.
"So we'd like to talk to you."
She was very clear about the behavior patterns of the human race. If they did nothing now, there would be no room for negotiation when Xu Si came knocking.
"I think you should know the saying, 'Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts!'"
Fu Xiaojian, who was standing next to him, actually wanted to pull Xu Si back and tell him to stop being so aggressive.
But he held back; he knew exactly what to do and when to do it.
Fan Wanwan remained silent for a while, then shifted her gaze from Xu Si to the new city under construction below the World Tree.
She could see the densely packed figures on the city wall, the weapons tightly gripped in their hands, and the children—yes, some of them were even standing behind the battlements, their little faces filled with tension and stubbornness.
"I think there's no point in us being so hostile!" Fan Wanwan said.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!" Xu Si asked.
He actually knows that being aggressive now is pointless to the situation.
If negotiations break down now, Xu Si may be able to keep these three strange creatures, but the situation between the human race and the strange creatures will completely deteriorate.
The supernatural beings might launch a coordinated attack, and the humans in the wilderness who had just managed to catch their breath might face annihilation.
Xu Si might be able to protect some of them, but the losses would be far beyond what humanity can afford.
However, we still need to maintain the proper attitude.
You can't just agree to do something if someone comes to your door and asks you to.
Yue Lengshu: "..."
Wu Pian: "..."
Zhou Jieyi: "..."
……
"I'd like to discuss the current situation with you and the signing of some agreements."
Her voice softened, and she didn't argue with Xu Si.
"What agreement? And do you represent yourself or all the supernatural beings?" Xu Si asked.
"I can't represent all the eerie things, but the three of us can represent most of the eerie things in the Gray Land!"
These words carry some weight; the gray-white land she mentioned must be the eerie receding tide land.
In other words, the strangeness of places where the tide recedes is all strangeness that is subject to constraints.
That's a bit hard to imagine.
He knew that the strange creatures emerging from the receding tide were mostly those of higher life levels.
Those low-level monsters, at levels one, two, and three, don't even have the strength to reach the receding tide.
"As for an agreement? Naturally, it's a matter of 'letting each other keep to ourselves,' and we demand that the World Tree stop expanding!"
Xu Si did not answer immediately.
The crimson star-like eyes moved from Fan Wanwan to the crimson dragon, and then to the mountain-like head of the [Lou Mi King], as if weighing the weight of these three high-ranking and eerie beings' words.
"You are now Sequence Nine. But do you know what Sequence Nine means?"
Seeing that Xu Si was weighing his options, Fan Wanwan decided to reveal a little bit.
Xu Si tilted his head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"I think you should know that the final chapter of God's Chosen has officially begun," Fan Wanwan continued, her voice carrying a rare hint of seriousness.
"This means that sooner or later, there will be a resolution between us—of all the high-ranking oddities and you, only one can survive to the end."
Fu Xiaojian's brows furrowed even more.
He stood beside Xu Si, gripping the hilt of his sword, his eyes fixed on the three enormous creatures opposite him.
This was the first time he had ever learned of such a secret.
"Then isn't it a contradiction for you to come here to discuss an agreement now?" Xu Si asked.
"It's not contradictory," the crimson dragon said.
The sound was deep and resonant, like rocks rolling in a valley, carrying an ancient and weighty echo.
"Because the final chapter of God's Chosen is not a solo performance by you humans. This is also our last chance as the uncanny. We choose to reach a temporary truce with you—at least until those more troublesome ones enter the fray."
"An even more troublesome guy?"
"Yes," Fan Wanwan replied.
"We've been thinking about why this divine selection is different from previous ones, and why this little world was already dead when we arrived."
"so……"
"This divine selection isn't just a game for Earth. The gods might throw the losers from previous selections into this trial ground; they want more than just one god!"
"So that's why Earth became a dead star?" Xu Si's starry eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, that way those guys won't face any obstacles when they arrive."
Although these were all guesses by Fan Wanwan and the others, Xu Si strongly agreed with them.
"So you're looking for me?" Xu Si also realized something.
"I never expected you to transform the Elf Princess into the World Tree, and she grew so fast!" Fan Wanwan said with a wry smile.
The sooner one gains control of Earth, the closer one will be to the divine messengers sent by those gods.
They wouldn't wait until Earth is fully recovered before descending, because the resistance they would face would be too great.
Xu Si could still recall the difficulty of the arrival of the Ancient Tree Clan.
If one were to completely control Earth, the difficulty would increase dramatically.
"Then I'll just have Yi-Yi take control of Earth as soon as possible!"
"No, the sooner we take control of Earth, the sooner it will be destroyed!" Fan Wanwan said.
Fu Xiaojian's lips twitched, and Xu Si's gaze was dangerous.
"Since the gods want to use this place as a trial ground, they will never change their will!" Fan Wanwan continued.
"The more completely we control Earth, the stronger the outsiders who will descend upon it will become! You don't want to face one peak level nine life form after another, do you?"
"That's just your guess!"
"It's better to be safe than sorry, isn't it?"
Xu Si felt like he was being manipulated, and by a woman no less.
If what Fan Wanwan said is true, then he really doesn't have a good solution.
Unless he becomes a god right now.
