Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Ye Ge nodded.

All of this is a chain reaction, which is why the Summit of All Races is so important.

Now that the Yan Clan has suddenly lost so many resource-rich territories, other races that have gained these territories can seize the opportunity to catch up, and they will certainly take the opportunity to restrict the Yan Clan.

So even if the Yan Clan's ranking stops at 90th after the summit, it will probably drop by at least ten places in ten years...

Without cultivation resources, the Yan Clan's cultivation speed will slow down, their combat power will weaken, and their competitiveness in the next Ten Thousand Races Summit will be greatly affected. This is a vicious cycle.

"Therefore, we naturally hope to find a powerful partner to unite and support each other." The Yan Clan King chuckled, revealing his true intention for coming here.

Ye Ge smiled and said, "You want to team up with me?"

“Yes, Mr. Night Song,” said the King of the Yan Clan. “Although we lost many opportunities to compete for resources at this summit, our Yan Clan was originally ranked 45th among all races. Even a lean ox has a thousand pounds of meat, and a broken ship still has three pounds of nails. Our existing territory, resources, and military strength are still very strong.”

The Yan Clan King smiled and said, "Mr. Ye Ge has been in charge of the southern border of the human race for more than eight years. The Ye family's business has grown bigger and bigger, which has affected the interests of many people. He must have quite a few enemies among the myriad races, right?"

"If you and I stand together, we will be a force to be reckoned with. Mr. Yege, even if your enemies want to harm you, they will have to think twice."

“I have indeed made quite a few enemies,” Ye Ge tilted his head, “but most of those who can pose a threat to me are Soul Emperor level experts. Your Yan Clan only has two Saint Realm experts left now, right? If these Soul Emperor level experts come looking for me, can I ask you for help?”

"...Ah, this..." The Yan Clan King was speechless.

The title "Soul Emperor" was enough to leave him speechless.

Even at the height of the Yan Clan's power, they were helpless against a Soul Emperor.

When enemies from the Saintly Realm came knocking, the Flame Clan King dared to offer to help him out. The Soul Emperor Realm... they were simply not in the same league...

At the same time, the King of Yan was also very surprised.

No, even Saint-level experts are extremely rare among humans, and you actually dare to offend a Soul Emperor?!

And there was actually a group of them?

So how exactly did you survive?

"So, your Yan Clan can't actually be of any help to me."

Ye Ge said, "So Your Majesty, I appreciate your good intentions, but as for an alliance... I don't think it's necessary. Our Ye family doesn't lack partners right now."

"Well..." The Flame Clan King chuckled twice, wanting to try again: "Mr. Night Song, you don't have to refuse so quickly, you can reconsider..."

“Finding partners is out of the question.” Ye Ge paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, before changing the subject, “But my Ye family is currently in need of a few underlings, Your Majesty might consider that.”

The Yan Clan King was stunned.

"Insolence!" General Blue Flame suddenly drew his Flame-Weaving Blade, glaring angrily at Night Song: "How dare you underestimate our Flame Clan!"

The Yan Clan warriors behind him also wore unhappy expressions.

Clearly, as the 45th ranked race among all races, they still retain a sense of arrogance deep down.

Nightsong actually wanted them to be underlings of a family of the human race, which was ranked 93rd? To them, this was undoubtedly a deliberate humiliation!

Ye Ge glanced at him calmly: "Accept reality, everyone. Actually, it's not us humans who need help right now, nor is it my Ye family, but your Yan clan."

"With the death of General Huoxiao, you are indeed no longer a puppet king. As long as you eliminate Huoxiao's remaining followers in the court, you can regain control of the government."

"But you have lost power for many years. Before that, the Yan Kingdom was completely controlled by the Grand General. Although the Grand General Huo Xiao is your enemy, he has indeed maintained the peace within the Yan Kingdom and suppressed many gangs and forces below."

"Now that Huo Xiao is dead, the gangs below will inevitably become restless and take the opportunity to cause trouble. You can certainly keep them in check, but it will take a lot of your effort."

"Furthermore, your Yan clan has now lost a large number of territories under its jurisdiction. It's not just a matter of losing resources; your unemployment rate will also increase significantly."

"Your Yan clan's economic situation must have been bad by now, right? A large number of merchants and companies are already on the verge of bankruptcy. Now that this has happened, it is undoubtedly another blow to your national conditions."

After Ye Ge finished speaking, he smiled slightly: "Tell me, given your own predicament, what makes you think you can unite with me?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the King of Yan was utterly shocked.

The Blue Flame General and the other Flame Clan warriors behind him were all dumbfounded.

"No... I didn't expect Mr. Yege to be so knowledgeable about the national conditions of our Yan Clan..."

The Yan Clan King's brow was once again beaded with sweat: "He even knows our economic situation is bad..."

Ye Ge thought to herself, "Nonsense, your poor economic situation is my doing. If I don't know, who does?"

The high interest rates offered by the banks in Dark City have already drawn away the gold coins of all the investors and merchants across the Myriad Races map.

Therefore, the number of gold coins circulating in various countries among all races will decrease.

With a significant decrease in the number of gold coins in circulation, economic problems in all nations and ethnic groups were an inevitable consequence.

When economic problems arise in various regions of the myriad races, businesses fail, and bankruptcies occur, leading to the sale of assets at rock-bottom prices, Yege will launch another round of bargain hunting, anonymously buying up all the properties they have sold at such low prices.

This has always been his approach, so many well-known chambers of commerce and companies on the map of all races are actually already affiliated with Dark City.

So, let's face reality.

Ye Ge leisurely picked up a glass of water and took a sip. "Right now, it's not that we need you, but that your Yan Clan needs to latch onto a powerful force. If you try to solve these problems on your own, other races will take advantage of your weakness, and it might not be as simple as just dropping to 90th place in the ranking of all races. As far as I know, your Yan Clan has quite a few enemies, right? For example, the Miao Clan and the Hai Clan."

The Yan Clan King remained silent for a long time.

The Yan Clan warriors behind them exchanged bewildered glances.

"Then, what conditions do you desire, Mr. Night Song?" The King of the Yan Clan's expression turned serious as he looked at Night Song and asked very solemnly.
