546 The Cooperation Between Humans And Immortals (Part 1)

Venerable He looked at Hong and revealed the smile of an old senior.

“Hong, you’ve come here personally. It seems that you truly value the cooperation with us immortals. In that case, let’s cut the formalities and get right down to business.”

Hong coming personally was beyond Venerable He’s expectations.

In his mind, they should have found a neutral space to meet and have this discussion, or perhaps even communicated through proxies.

Unexpectedly, not only did Hong come to talk to him personally, but he also fearlessly entered the territory of the immortal race to do so.

What did this mean?

It meant Hong had enough confidence to ensure his own safety.

Of course, the immortal race would not make a move, because it was not in line with their usual style. The celestial race probably would not as well, but the demon race definitely would.

Venerable He wondered where Hong got his confidence from. Hong was the human race’s fourth ancestor. Many would not pass up the chance to surround and kill him if given the opportunity.

Was he so sure that the immortal race would not reveal his presence here?

Or was he relying on a secret partnership of some sort of the races of the Ancient Chaos World to come to his rescue if anything went awry.

Venerable He dismissed the idea that Hong was confident in his own strength, as the latter was, from his perspective, not a World Creator realm cultivator. After all, Hong did not exhibit the heavenly phenomena associated with World Creator realm cultivators.

The final possibility was that perhaps the first or second ancestor were also present somewhere. Those two were definitely World Creator realm cultivators.

“Since Senior He has that intention, then I will speak frankly as well,” Hong said with a smile.

Venerable He was a second-generation ancestor of the immortal race.

He was considered weak among those from his generation who had survived.

Still, Hong did not underestimate him. After all, there were many who were more talented than he was who had not survived to this day. There were definitely certain aspects in which he was extraordinary to have accomplished this.

“In addition to the previous conditions, we, the human and immortal races, must sign a Great Dao contract. Those who violate it will be punished by the Great Dao.”

“In addition, the human race needs ten chaos artifacts or materials that can be used to refine ten chaos artifacts.”

Venerable He frowned.

Ten chaos artifacts were something they could easily afford. However, signing a Great Dao contract that involved punishment by the Great Dao was somewhat unacceptable.

If such a contract was really signed, then under the right circumstances, the immortal race would be placed in danger of being punished by the Great Dao.

“The chaos artifacts are not an issue, but the Great Dao contract needs to be discussed. Some terms can not be written into the contract,” Venerable He said after some thought.

“Senior He, it’s not that we don’t trust the immortal race, but rather it’s a fact that the chaos is unpredictable, and the future of the human race is uncertain. We need the immortal race’s assurance through the Great Dao contract to ensure that the human race’s legacy will not be severed.”

Hong sighed.

“Hong, you must be joking. How can the inheritance of the human race be severed just like that? You know as well as I do that the human race is the overlord of the nine zones today,” he said meaningfully.

“There have been too many changes in the nine zones, and it’s full of uncertainties. The races in the nine zones are much weaker than we are, so being the overlord race there is meaningless.”

Hong shook his head, his face full of worry.

“It’s fine for us to sign a Great Dao contract, but some of the terms we’ve agreed to can’t be written into it,” Venerable He said after pondering for a while.

“There’s one thing that must be written into it. The immortal race must promise to protect the legacy of the human race from being severed.”

This condition was not too harsh. The human race had only a few hundred people left, so it was not unacceptable.

At least Venerable He thought so.

“Furthermore, the population of the human race cannot be less than a million. This is our bottom line,” Hong added.

A million people should be the bottom line that the immortal race could bear. They would not agree to any more.
