Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7047

Chapter 6957: Suppression!

Boom!

The raging divine power and the surrounding Dao clouds were instantly quelled under Zi Zhen’s control.

The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor’s expression changed slightly, caught in a dilemma, completely controlled by this seemingly harmless little girl.

Boom!!

“It’s best not to move.”

Zi Zhen pressed the clan emperor to the ground, then glanced around and warned the crowd.

“This ghost god doesn’t look big, but it’s so strong?!”

The others hesitated, while the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor used his still-functioning hand to beckon behind him.

The group of powerful figures stopped, their faces filled with worry.

Li Tianming looked at the group with his golden and black eyes and said calmly, “I’m here to negotiate, there’s no need to be so impulsive.”

An old woman angrily retorted, “Our Divine Treasure Clan has nothing to talk about with your Heavenly Emperor Sect or your Li Clan!”

In their minds, even if they weren’t from the Li Imperial Clan, the Li surname was likely a foreign clan dependent on the Li Imperial Clan.

Li Tianming glanced at the old woman and said, “If I were to use the methods of the young emperor to ruthlessly exterminate your race, I could simply take your clan emperor out and behead him now, thus destroying morale. With the army collapsing, you would have even less chance of survival.”

“However, I don’t intend to do that, so you’d better calm down first.”

Although the clan emperor was furious for his fallen comrades, he was still the highest leader of the entire star system. Reason cooled the burning anger in his chest slightly, and he calmed down.

But this didn’t mean he trusted Li Tianming.

The Wu Xuan clan emperor coldly said, “Those who are not of our race are bound to have different hearts! Anyway, they all have their own schemes, no different from that young emperor!”

Although the Divine Treasure Saintess was rather petite, she stood at the forefront, only behind the Wu Xuan clan emperor.

At this position, she was already within Zi Zhen’s instantaneous attack range, but she was fearless.

The Divine Treasury Saintess said to Li Tianming, “Continue.”

Li Tianming continued, “I am not on the same side as the young Emperor. He belongs to the Li Clan, while I belong to the Divine Alliance and possess a challenge from the Lesser Divine Treasury Star System.”

“What is the challenge of the Emperor’s Heaven Plan? I don’t need to explain, do I? In other words, the Lesser Divine Treasury Star System is my battlefield, and I have my own plans. I don’t want to do anything that involves annihilation.”

The Divine Treasury Saintess said coldly, “Release him first, otherwise there’s no point in us talking.”

Li Tianming nodded to Zi Zhen, who then released his grip, freeing the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor.

“You really released me directly?” Wu Xuan was shocked, completely unexpected.

He retreated a distance, feeling lingering fear. He

had only been gripped by a fist, but only he knew that if the other party wanted to, they could have easily shattered his body with that arm!

They had clearly held his life in their hands, threatening him. Why did they release him directly?

The Divine Treasure Saintess was slightly surprised; she had only made a tentative remark and hadn’t expected Li to actually do it.

Even so, the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor gritted his teeth and coldly said, “Since it’s all invasion anyway, who’s more noble than whom? Even the young Emperor has launched a plan to exterminate his clan; your ambitions are probably even greater!”

Li Tianming said firmly, “I plan to unite with the Divine Treasure Clan to annihilate or drive out the Thirteen Star System Alliance, preventing them from invading the Little Divine Treasure Star System.”

“Unite?” The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor sneered, “Now that the Thirteen Star System Alliance’s army is pressing in, do you intend to unite with the Divine Treasure Clan to deal with the Thirteen Star System Alliance first, then deal with the Divine Treasure Clan, thus effortlessly taking over the Little Divine Treasure Star System?”

“Too foolish! We have nothing to talk about with you. If you want war, then let’s fight!”

The Divine Treasure Saintess suddenly pressed down on the Clan Emperor and whispered, “Wu Xuan, don’t get agitated; let him say more.”

“But…” The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor’s eyes widened; he hadn’t expected the Divine Treasure Saintess to have such a detailed discussion with him.

But the Holy Maiden of Divine Treasury glanced at him and said, “I also hope that the Divine Treasury Clan can live a better life…”

Only then did he stop his hesitation and say nothing more.

Li Tianming then slowly spoke, “First of all, I am not afraid of the young Emperor Venerable. If you do not accept his ideas, I can guarantee that I will not carry out the massacre of the clan.”

An elder sneered, “The people of the Heavenly Emperor Sect have always been full of treacherous schemes. I have already experienced this over the years. A mere verbal guarantee is not enough to make us believe you.”

“Whether you believe me or not is your business. Whether I say it or not is my business,” Li Tianming said calmly.

Then, he added, “Since I accepted the challenge from the Little Divine Treasury Star System, I naturally came here to rule this star system.”

The Divine Treasury Saintess frowned slightly and said, “So, your goal is still the same as everyone else in the Heavenly Emperor Sect—to ultimately make us submit, even enslave us!”

Li Tianming looked at her with eyes as bright as the sun and said, “It’s different. You will submit to me, and from then on, a new Little Divine Treasury Star System will be established. I will be the regional governor, and everything will be under my control.”

“However!” Li Tianming paused, looking at everyone, and said, “I will not change the way of life of your Divine Treasury Clan, and you will not need to be my slaves. All life in the universe is equal, and there is no discrimination.”

An old woman tapped the ground with her cane and said, “Words are meaningless! Once you truly hold power, you will naturally do as you please, and we will have no way to resist then. How will you guarantee our rights?”

“I will appoint the Clan Emperor as the Deputy Governor, and he will have important authority over the new Little Divine Treasury Star System,” Li Tianming said calmly.

“What?”

This statement sparked a flurry of discussion among the Celestial Venerables.

“I’ve never heard of promoting a native of a star system to the position of Vice Governor. How dare this person make such a promise?”

“When a star system changes hands, those in high positions are always the first to die. I don’t believe he’s so kind…”

At this moment, the tense atmosphere had subtly shifted into normal negotiations.

Li Tianming pressed his advantage, saying, “Furthermore, the Emperor’s Plan includes favorable policies for ‘superior surrendered star systems.’ As long as you voluntarily surrender, you will naturally receive preferential treatment.”

“Superior surrendered star systems?” Everyone was surprised.

This policy wasn’t a secret; it could be found everywhere and was openly offered by the Heavenly Emperor Sect to all star systems.

Hearing Li Tianming mention it naturally attracted everyone’s attention.

Regarding this policy:

First, taxes would be levied at the lowest possible rate.

Second, any genius capable of entering the Heavenly Emperor Sect would receive a letter of recommendation.

If it is not a ‘superior compliant star system’, it will take millions of years to change from a ‘semi-enslaved’ state and obtain a spot to join the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Thirdly, in terms of development in specific areas, individuals can gain autonomy in decision-making, and local natives can also hold positions…
