Chapter 1120
Hope for Victory
Wang Ze, the leader of the Fire Seed Organization, spoke with such firmness.
This caused Yi Feifeng, the divine envoy of the Yunqin Alliance, to fall silent for a moment on the other end of the satellite communicator.
After a while,
She just sighed softly.
"Good advice is useless against a damned devil. It seems there is no room for maneuver between us!"
Since that's the case, let's discuss this fairly. The Yunqin Alliance can agree to your Fire Seed's conditions!
However, I have one condition: if you want all one million hostages to be safely released and return to your Fireseed organization, you need to give me a source artifact personally crafted by Lin Xuankong. Whether it's the Primordial Jade or the Fiery Divine Armor, just one will suffice!
Upon hearing this, Wang Ze, the leader of the Fire Seed Organization, burst into loud laughter.
"Yi Feifeng, have you been in that high position where you can command a hundred followers for too long, so you've become too lazy to even use your brain and have become a bit stupid? Your Yunqin Alliance and my Fire Seed Organization are irreconcilable enemies. Even if there is a truce for a while, we will definitely fight to the death in the future. Under such a completely hostile situation, how could my Fire Seed Organization do anything to aid the enemy? How could we hand over one of those powerful source artifacts that Xuan Kong refined to your Yunqin Alliance? It's laughable. Are you just dreaming?"
The many fourth-tier super-strong members of the Fireseed Organization present couldn't help but sneer and shake their heads.
Wu Xiang, a fourth-tier super strongman from the Kingdom of Yundong, couldn't help but say, "It's ridiculous! Yi Feifeng, you actually plan to have our Fire Seed Organization hand over a powerful source artifact personally crafted by Mr. Lin. Anyone who didn't know better would think that your Yunqin Alliance is currently in a position of absolute dominance! Don't you know that right now, the entire Yunqin Alliance only has Jianzhou Province left? All the lackeys of the Central Star Demon Lord are crammed into that tiny Jianzhou Province, waiting to die!"
"Asking you to hand over the million hostages you've abducted is giving you a way out, a chance to catch your breath. Otherwise, my Fireseed Organization is currently at its zenith, and can launch a massive military offensive at any time, wiping out your so-called millions of troops in the Yunqin Alliance in an instant!"
He was thoroughly humiliated by Wang Ze, the leader of the Fire Seed Organization, and Wu Xiang, a fourth-tier super powerhouse.
On the other end of the satellite communicator, the voice of Yi Feifeng, the divine envoy of the Yunqin Alliance, remained completely unchanged.
"You don't need to be so agitated or arrogant. Do you really think my Fireseed Organization has no chance of fighting back? Do you really think that the hundreds or thousands of powerful source artifacts I, Yi Feifeng, have obtained are no match for the source artifacts you currently possess? If we really fight to the death, the potential of every super strong person and gene warrior in the seemingly loose Yunqin Alliance will be fully unleashed. Even if your Fireseed Organization can gain the upper hand and kill millions of gene warriors and super strong persons in my Yunqin Alliance, how many gene warriors and strong persons from your Fireseed Organization will be left?"
"Haven't you Fireseed Organization always been targeting the Celestial Gods? Do you really intend to perish together with these human genetic warriors and super-strong individuals from the same race as Mars, the Yunqin Alliance?"
Upon hearing this, many of the Fireseed Organization's super-strong members and top-tier fifth-order experts present frowned slightly.
Wu Xiang, a fourth-tier super strongman, sneered: "Those of you who are determined to join the demons of Zhongji Star, how can you be considered members of my Yinghuoxing human race? You are nothing but lackeys of those demons. Once the birds are gone, the good bow is put away; once the hunting dogs are cooked, they are put away. Even if my Fire Seed Organization is defeated by the demons of Zhongji Star in the future, you will all be harvested sooner or later. Moreover, my Fire Seed Organization is now full of strong and talented people, and we have the powerful source artifacts forged by Mr. Lin. In the future, whether the demons of Zhongji Star win or my Fire Seed Organization and the Yinghuoxing human race win, the result is still uncertain!"
In my opinion, the demon of Zhongji Star, who has ravaged Mars countless times, will be utterly defeated in this generation of Mars humans. At that time, you traitors to humanity from the Yunqin Alliance will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in human history, cursed by countless future generations, becoming the most stinking pile of rotten flesh in history. Of course, you, Yi Feifeng, will undoubtedly be the rottenest, ugliest, and most repulsive part of that pile!
Upon hearing this, Yi Feifeng of the Yunqin Alliance replied calmly:
"How ridiculous that a human generation of only ten or twenty thousand years can challenge a top interstellar civilization that has existed for countless billions of years!"
Wu Xiang, when the Gate of Descent fully opens, every gene warrior and gene powerhouse in your Fireseed Organization, including yourself, will naturally understand how correct my choice was! You must know that no matter how the Central Star God Clan harvests, they will ultimately leave some seeds and seedlings for the next harvest. How could a powerful civilization like the Central Star possibly engage in such short-sighted practices? And the elites of my Yunqin Alliance will undoubtedly become the seeds that survive to the end!
However, arguing about these things now is pointless. Let's continue discussing the conditions for exchanging one million hostages!
Wang Ze, since you're unwilling to exchange a Fiery Divine Armor or a Primordial Jade for a million hostages, what if I offered another special auxiliary Origin Artifact? For example, my other complete Styx Seal. According to reliable information I've received, your Fire Seed organization's Lin Xuankong only managed to comprehend some of the secrets of Origin Artifact crafting thanks to the Styx Seal fragments given to him by Zhao Jiulin and Granny Jin, which enabled him to craft the Fiery Divine Armor and the Primordial Jade!
Even a small, incomplete fragment of the Styx Seal was enough for Lin Xuankong of your Fire Seed Organization to forge such powerful Fire Blaze Divine Armor and Primordial Jade. If a complete Styx Seal were to fall into Lin Xuankong's hands, allowing him to study and learn from it at will?
Our Yunqin Alliance desires either a Tai Su Jade or the Fiery Divine Armor. To be frank, our goal is to replicate them. If your Lin Xuankong obtains the complete Styx Seal, his gains will undoubtedly be far greater. Even if he can't elevate the Tai Su Jade or the Fiery Divine Armor to a higher level, he'll certainly be able to replicate them successfully, allowing you to possess a considerable number of Styx Seals! After all, in terms of crafting Origin Artifacts, our Yunqin Alliance truly lacks a talent comparable to Lin Xuankong. Therefore, your acquisition of a complete Styx Seal is far more beneficial than our acquisition of a Fiery Divine Armor or a Tai Su Jade!
Listening to the voice coming from the satellite communicator,
The Fireseed organization's powerful members, who had previously looked displeased, all fell silent.
After a moment, the crowd whispered among themselves. The gains and losses of such an exchange were obvious. The complete Styx Seal, a powerful auxiliary source artifact, had indeed tempted many of the Fire Seed organization's super-strong individuals present. This was because such auxiliary source artifacts could be used in conjunction with the Fiery Divine Armor and the Primordial Jade, unlike the Primordial Jade, where only one could function if two were possessed! In this way, the Primordial Jade, which increased combat power tenfold, combined with the Styx Seal, which reduced the target's strength by fivefold, would effectively increase one's own strength by 'fifteen times'. That would allow even a top-tier fifth-tier expert to easily defeat a fourth-tier early-stage super-strong individual!
How could anyone not be tempted by such a powerful auxiliary source artifact! The key is that with the Styx Seal in Lin Xuankong's hands, every super strong member of the Fire Seed organization present firmly believes that Lin Xuankong, a super weapon-refining genius who appears only once in countless generations, will definitely be able to successfully replicate this auxiliary source artifact!
In the eyes of many super strong members and top fifth-tier experts of the Fire Seed Organization, Lin Xuankong is now a genius of monstrous level who can replicate any kind of super source weapon at will. Everyone believes that there is no source weapon that can stump Lin Xuankong!
Wang Ze, the leader of the Fire Seed Organization, had obviously thought of these things as well, and fell silent.
After a long pause, he picked up the satellite communicator and said, "I must say, Yi Feifeng, the conditions you just mentioned are indeed very tempting. Our Fire Seed organization really wants to get Xuan Kong all sorts of powerful source artifacts, including the Styx Seal, an extremely special auxiliary source artifact!"
However, the Tai Su Jade and the Fiery Divine Armor are miraculous source artifacts that even the previous generation of Central Star demons never used. How could my Fire Seed Organization possibly hand them over to you lackeys of the Central Star demons?
Even if we gave you a piece of Tai Su Jade or a piece of Fiery Divine Armor, you might still not be able to turn the tide. After all, our Fire Seed Organization already has more than a dozen pieces of Tai Su Jade and Fiery Divine Armor. But the problem is, if such Tai Su Jade or Fiery Divine Armor falls into the hands of the Central Star Demon, wouldn't that ruin everything?
Yi Feifeng, my Fire Seed organization will not agree to this condition!
If you insist on exchanging hostages, the most you'll get is one piece of invisibility source armor. If you agree, the exchange of hostages and invisibility source armor will begin tomorrow. If you don't agree, then prepare to face the Fire Seed Organization's siege of Jianzhou Province! I'd like to see just how fierce the desperate resistance of your so-called millions of troops in the Yunqin Alliance will be, or whether, once the siege begins, seven or eight out of ten of your so-called millions of troops will surrender or flee. Furthermore, if even one of those million hostages is killed, my Fire Seed Organization will make your lackeys pay a thousandfold in death. Don't even think about using hostages to make my Fire Seed Organization bow down to lackeys like your Yunqin Alliance!
Do you know that every member of my Fireseed Organization, whether they stayed on Mars or left on the Fireseed spaceship, was prepared to face sacrifice when they completely broke with your Yunqin Alliance? This was true for the Fireseed Organization's gene warriors, gene powerhouses, and every super powerhouse, including myself!
"Trying to force the Fireseed organization to compromise and bow down by threatening death is utterly impossible. It was impossible before, it's impossible now, and it will never be possible!"
After speaking, Wang Ze, the president of the Fire Seed Organization, placed the satellite communicator on the table, leaned back in his chair with a relaxed air, and quietly waited for a reply from the other end of the satellite communicator.
There was no response from Yi Feifeng on the other end of the satellite intercom.
Just as the fourth-tier super-strong experts on the Fireseed Organization's side frowned, a commotion finally came from the other side.
"Well, Wang Ze, you really are the genius I had high hopes for back then. You're ruthless and decisive enough. Even a million hostages couldn't shake your resolve!"
Hmph, you win this round first!
Tomorrow morning, send your men, equipped with the Invisible Source Armor, to Jianzhou Province to exchange for the hostages and the Styx Seal!
Furthermore, you must remember that immediately after the exchange, every single member of your Fireseed organization must leave the lands of the more than sixty countries of my Yunqin Alliance, without exception. As for the list of supplies you require, my Yunqin Alliance will deliver it to your Fireseed organization in Stone City within a month. You will not be shortchanged even a milligram!
After the Yunqin Alliance's Divine Envoy Yi Feifeng spoke his last words, the satellite communicator connection was immediately lost, and static came from the other end.
In the lobby of the No. 1 office building of Vault 36, there was a moment of silence, followed by cheers that almost shook the roof of the entire office building.
Whether it was veteran fourth-tier super strongman Wu Xiang, or fifth-tier top strongmen like You Rui, Han Liu, and Han Bao, they were all laughing heartily. Some excitedly tossed their alloy weapons into the air, while others took off their armor and helmets and threw them high into the air, cheering loudly.
Granny Jin, a mid-stage fourth-tier super powerhouse with white hair, stood beside Wang Ze, the patriarch of the Fire Seed Organization. With a complex expression, she raised her hand to wipe her eyes. This woman, over a hundred years old, was now weeping with joy, murmuring incessantly.
"For over a hundred years, over a hundred years, Grand Master, our Fire Seed Organization has been suppressed by the Yunqin Kingdom and the Yunqin Alliance. In several major battles, we have been at a disadvantage time and time again. We don't know how many pioneers have fallen, but we have always found it difficult to see any hope of true victory. But now, the Yunqin Alliance, composed of more than sixty countries, has actually completely bowed down to our Fire Seed Organization. Not only did they have to release the hostages they had taken, but they also had to hand over a large amount of supplies and a precious Styx Seal. The so-called Divine Envoy, Yi Feifeng, even admitted in person that this time, our Fire Seed Organization has won!"
"It's like a dream! Who could have imagined that our Fireseed Organization would produce a super genius like Mr. Lin? Who could have imagined that our generation might actually become the only generation capable of defeating the Central Star Demon because of the Fiery Divine Armor and the Primordial Jade crafted by Mr. Lin!"
Wang Ze, the leader of the Fireseed Organization, also looked somewhat excited, his eyes filled with determination.
"That's right, this is our Fireseed organization directly confronting the Yunqin Alliance."
This was the first truly great victory, a victory that even Yi Feifeng had to admit and bow his head in acknowledgment!
It was the Tai Su Jade and the Fiery Divine Armor crafted by Xuan Kong that brought about this truly enormous and great victory. This great victory marks the beginning of countless future victories for our Yinghuo Star human race and the Fire Seed Organization. As long as we continue to fight, humanity will ultimately have hope and will eventually achieve final victory! (End of Chapter)
