Lei? visited Zhang Hao again. The two sides talked for a little longer this time, but in the end they still broke up on bad terms.
At the same time, Ying Ning and Qishan also contacted the two parties of Quasi-Saint respectively - Qixing Lord and the New Quasi-Saint Alliance. As for the Demon Saint, they had no further contact.
The day passed in a blink of an eye. New negotiations began again. This time the negotiations were more formal. It took the two sides about ten days to finalize some general situations.
But this is only a general situation, and we have to wait a while before real negotiations; we have to wait until the mission from Zhoutian Great World to inspect the Sky Demon World returns.
All we can say is that now the two parties have basically determined some rough cooperation methods, prices, etc.
In this process, Tianyao World also reached some agreements with Zhang Hao through code words and other methods that cannot be stated verbally.
First of all, let’s talk about the cooperation intention between Zhoutian World and Tianyao World. The focus of both parties is related to the transformation of star clusters.
The tentative agreement is: In the next fifty years, Zhoutian World will build and transform five star clusters in Tianyao World, including two in Tianyao World and three in Zhoutian World.
First, the second cluster must be built and put into use at the same time, with a size difference of no more than 8%. Star clusters are naturally born and cannot be guaranteed to be exactly the same. It is already difficult to guarantee an error of 8%. Look at Zhou Tianda
Among the constellations in the world, some are only a few dozen light-years away, while some extend over tens of thousands of light-years.
In addition, the third star cluster belongs to the Zhoutian world, the fourth belongs to the Tianyao world, and the fifth belongs to the Zhoutian world again. These three constellations also have strict size regulations.
Among these three star clusters, there are at least two large star clusters, one of which will belong to the Sky Demon World, and the error with the star cluster in the Zhou Tian World is less than 8%.
Star systems with insufficient gaps need to be supplemented.
In addition, there are technical exchanges, industrial equipment, elixirs and magic weapons, cultivation training, etc.
Similarly, Zhoutian Great World will also get the precious mineral resources of the Sky Demon World, visits to holy places and spiritual insights, the "biological resources" of the Sky Demon, and even related resources of the Gaia World, including related practices and materials.
This is a cooperation between two big worlds. Although it is only a letter of intent for the time being, it has also attracted widespread attention.
However, no one could have imagined that under such an environment, Dayang Group and Tianyao World would achieve more cooperation that cannot be announced in words.
This is not about Dayang Group taking advantage of others, but a necessary means of survival.
Thinking about it rationally, if the quasi-sages use Dayang Group's technology to become saints, what will happen next? There is a high probability that Dayang Group is imprisoned and becomes a weapon in the hands of saints.
Look at Tianji Xingjun's behavior after coming to Dayang Group. He is greedy, selfish, and domineering. He is still a quasi-sage. If he becomes a saint and is above all quasi-sages, Zhang Hao knows what it will be like.
Never place your destiny on the kindness of others.
It was precisely in this way that Zhang Haocai and the Sky Demon World reached a series of cooperation through code words, and it was achieved under the eyes of the quasi-sage. Of course, it was so smooth because of Lei Xingfeng's cover.
If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. This is a sentence written at the core of "Zhou Tian Gong". Of course, the original meaning of "for oneself" is "to be oneself", which is an interpretation of "truth" in cultivation; but now everyone is more willing to
Interpreted as 'for oneself'.
In short, Lei Xingfeng also understands in his heart that there is fierce competition among quasi-sages, so why can't he become a saint? Dayang Group's resources are his own, and he was the first to discover Dayang Group! Since Zhang Hao worships him as his teacher, he
We must make careful plans for Zhang Hao and the development of Dayang Group.
Under such circumstances, Tianyao World reached a separate cooperation agreement with Dayang Group. However, this cooperation agreement did not leave any words, and it did not even have any compulsory and guarantee measures. During the conversation, everyone used
Hints, cryptic words, etc.
There is really no more choice, this is the only choice.
But both parties are absolutely convinced that the other party will definitely comply. The reason is simple: interests!
I may not believe in the other party's integrity, but I absolutely believe in the other party's pursuit of fundamental interests. Sometimes a verbal agreement is more reliable than a written agreement.
The fundamental interest of the Sky Demon World is to delay time, avoid fighting on two fronts, and thrive. It would be better if we could borrow the technology of Dayang Group to develop and destroy the Gaia World. Maybe we can go back and kill Zhou Tian in the future.
Big world.
For Dayang Group, the fundamental interest is also to delay time and strengthen itself; but what Dayang Group considers is not war, but the accumulation of technology and the development of its own practice system.
Now Dayang Group's own martial arts, the magically modified version of "Zhou Tiangong" has been developed to the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, and it has an idea of its future development direction.
If we could get information about the Sky Demon World and the Gaia World, we might be able to easily break through this threshold.
In short, considering these, Zhang Hao feels that it is more reliable to develop himself. The external quasi-sages are too greedy and overbearing, and are not reliable.
In this secret deal, Dayang Group will provide some additional elixirs to the Tianyao World, build auxiliary equipment for cultivation, provide corresponding medical, plant and agricultural technical support, and even provide education and social system guidance. The most important thing is Dayang
The group will provide Tianyao World with some experts and scholars and corresponding training.
In return, the Sky Demon World will provide Dayang Group with more precious cultivation resources, including some special mineral resources and medicinal materials of the Sky Demon World, and "everything that can be provided" by the Sky Demon World and the Gaia World.
The godhead of the world, etc.; especially the Dzi Beads of the Heavenly Demon World (actually the Demonic Pills of the Heavenly Demon practitioners).
Dzi beads are the core of practitioners in the Sky Demon World. In the negotiations between the Sky Demon World and Zhou Tian World, there is no option for Dzi Beads.
Dzi beads are equivalent to the Nascent Soul of a cultivator. If the Zhoutian world uses the Nascent Soul of a cultivator to trade with other worlds, the interior of the Zhoutian world will definitely explode - it's so incompetent! If you can't defeat the outside world, kill your own people to dig them up.
Disembowel one's heart to please the enemy.
That's why, in the "formal" negotiation treaty between Zhou Tian World and Tian Yao World, there is no word "Dzi Bead".
In addition, in this 'cooperation treaty', another key option was intentionally or unintentionally ignored - prisoners.
In previous wars, both sides captured the other side's quasi-sages/demon saints. Among them, Zhoutian World captured 4 demon saints, while Tianyao World captured two quasi-sages.
But in this cooperation agreement, both parties did not mention the issue of captives at all, and seemed to have forgotten it by accident. And this exactly shows the problem - neither party was interested in this negotiation! The cooperation agreement signed this time,
May be torn at any time.
Of course, on the surface, everyone has other opinions: The reason why we don’t exchange prisoners is actually a kind of trust. Of course, this can also avoid passivity - if we take the initiative to exchange prisoners, we will have to pay more price. At present, stability is the priority.
The negotiations here are temporarily over, and everyone is rushing towards the gate of the world, preparing to meet Zhou Tianshijie's team inspecting the world of Tianyao.
When the team arrived at the Double Sun Galaxy, they also received a signal from the expedition team, saying that they had begun to return and it was expected to take about twenty days.
At this time, the Double Sun Galaxy has completely completed its transformation and is supporting the operation of the current small-scale Zhoutian Array. However, the Zhoutian Great World has not 'extended too much' and has not continued to transform more galaxies. As for the Chaoge Star Cluster's transformation plan,
Of course it is temporarily suspended.
The Holy Mother of the Heavenly Demon is still here, as are Tianshu Xingjun and Xuantian Tianjun from the Zhoutian world, and most of the demon saints and quasi-sages are also here.
I don't know if it was boring, but the quasi-sage levels of the two worlds actually started to sit down and discuss the Tao. Of course, it was not a strict discussion, but at least they were communicating with each other, and gradually involved many profound cultivation issues.
Maybe the two worlds are still at odds, maybe both sides are still vigilant, but it doesn't matter if they simply communicate. No practitioner will give up the opportunity to make progress.
Even if they cooperate in the future, it will probably be difficult for both parties to have the opportunity to sit down and talk like this - it is not easy with so many experts gathered together.
Yingning returned to the Heavenly Demon Mother, who was obviously relieved. Then Yingning told the details of the negotiations in the ears of the Heavenly Demon Mother, especially the secret cooperation with Zhang Hao and the Dayang Group represented by Zhang Hao.
protocol.
Finally, Ying Ning said: Zhang Hao said that it won’t be long before the first batch of scholars arrive. These scholars will assist the world of Tianyao in social politics and management, culture, thought, law, economy, education, practice, science and
Industry, etc., will be improved in all aspects. It is expected to be effective in fifty years.
"It will be effective in 50 years?" The Heavenly Demon Mother's eyes narrowed, "This is a bit exaggerated. Fifty years is just the time for a nap. If calculated according to our time, 50 years is only equivalent to four times of the Zhoutian world.
Ten years, maybe.”
Ying Ning smiled: "Actually, Zhang Hao's estimate of 50 years is a conservative estimate. Thirty years is not out of the question. It's just because I'm not familiar with it, so I left some room for it."
"Oh, okay, we can afford to wait for fifty years. It just so happens that the first negotiation period with Zhou Tian Great World is also fifty years." After a pause, the Heavenly Demon Mother continued to ask, "What do you think about Zhang Hao doing this?"
What is the reason? Has there been any in-depth investigation? Are these code words reliable?"
Ying Ning showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, mother, I have carefully observed it. Although the camps are different, Zhang Hao is also a person. There is no doubt about his reliability. Of course, if things go against Dayang Group, he may suddenly turn his back.
deny.
As for the reason, I have just explained it. The Ocean Group needs time and space to develop; if we confront the quasi-sages of Zhoutian World, the Ocean Group can develop calmly.
If done well, Dayang Group may even have hundreds of years of room for development."
But the Heavenly Demon Mother was thinking more: "Could it be a trap from the Zhoutian world, so that they can cross the void behind their backs to contact the Gaia world?"
Yingning frowned. It seemed that he really forgot to consider this.
