The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"Alright, now that everyone is here, I'm sure you all understand the purpose of this trip. I won't say any more. Please tell me the specific plan, Fellow Daoist Mermaid..." Zhuque glanced at everyone, her jade-like face smiling, her eyes also filled with laughter.

The mermaid pondered for a moment and said, "Just as Fellow Daoist Zhuque said, everyone knows the purpose of our gathering."

He paused for a moment and then said, "Our clan is willing to give up 20% of the cultivation resources within five Yuanhui, ten top-grade innate spiritual materials, and one million ordinary innate spiritual materials."

"This is the bottom line of our race. What do you all think..." the mermaid said with a smile, looking at everyone.

The hall was silent, everyone lost in thought. Or rather, they agreed.

Because apart from the White Tiger, Qilin, Black Tortoise, and Ancestral Dragon, everyone else here is just here to join in the fun.

They are all dependent on these major forces, and they follow their lead without question. They have no right to speak. No matter how many cultivation resources the mermaid provides, very little of it will actually reach them.

The Qilin Emperor glanced at the White Tiger, signaling him to take the lead. However, while the White Tiger appeared burly and rugged on the surface, he was actually quite shrewd. Why would he be willing to be the first to act in this situation? Besides, he also had his own calculations.

Seeing that it was futile to rely on the White Tiger, the Qilin Emperor could only look to the Black Tortoise, who was even more decisive than the White Tiger, keeping his eyes closed and resting.

The Xuanwu Clan and the Sea God Clan are neighbors, and since there is no conflict of interest between the two clans, they naturally became the strongest allies.

He didn't come here to get a share of the resources; he came to cheer on the mermaid.

Seeing this, the Qilin Emperor stopped looking. He wasn't stupid; how could he not see through the mermaid's intentions?

The mermaid came to the Vermilion Bird Clan, clearly not placing her hopes on them, but only on the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Phoenix Clan.

The fact that we're allocating these resources is just a token gesture, merely to facilitate unity!

Furthermore, among the seven major races here, the Qilin clan is the weakest, and its territory is the most prone to trouble.

He desperately wanted to befriend the Sea God Clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the Phoenix Clan. How could he possibly offend these two top-tier powerful clans for such a small benefit?

As for the Ancestral Dragon, the Qilin Emperor had no hope of getting it. It wasn't because the Dragon Clan wasn't qualified, but because the Dragon Clan had a very bad relationship with the Vermilion Bird Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Sea God Clan; in fact, they could be described as enemies.

If Zu Long speaks out, we might not get the resources and might even have to pay a loss.

As for the Star Clan, the Qilin Emperor dared not even imagine it.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhuque's dark eyes darted around, and an idea came to mind.

Looking at Zu Long, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Zu Long, is there anything you wish to say?"

Zu Long's eyelids twitched, and he sensed something was wrong. He secretly transmitted his voice and said, "I am willing to give you five top-grade innate spiritual materials."

“Not enough…” Suzaku echoed.

Zu Long's expression darkened. "Fellow Daoist, don't go too far."

"Hmph... Although the Sea God Clan is the main target of this calamity, your Dragon Clan should bear the brunt. How can a mere five top-grade innate spiritual materials suffice?" Vermilion Bird transmitted its voice.

"Then what do you want?" Zu Long asked angrily. He felt incredibly aggrieved because he had offended the Vermilion Bird Clan in the past, and now the Vermilion Birds held a grudge against him.

At this critical juncture, if Suzaku were to make things difficult for the Dragon Clan, he would likely be isolated, which could lead to the division of his sea territory.

"Vermilion Bird..." Phoenix saw that the First Emperor's expression was not good, and it immediately understood that Vermilion Bird's habit of wanting to eat alone had resurfaced.

"Alright! Let's split it evenly!" Zhuque said helplessly to the Phoenix, and then to the Ancestral Dragon, "Two high-grade volcanoes and two medium-grade volcanoes."

"Why don't you just rob it?" Zu Long was furious.

"Agree or disagree? Just one word." Zhuque didn't want to waste any more words.

“Okay…” Zu Long gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Hmm, very good. Don't forget those five top-tier innate spiritual materials." Zhuque smiled with satisfaction. If Zulong dared not agree to her conditions, she would make him pay an even heavier price this time.

Suzaku was satisfied and smiled, "Good, this matter is perfectly resolved..."

"Wait..." The mermaid interrupted Zhuque, turned to look at Zulong, and said, "I believe that this calamity is also closely related to the Dragon Clan. How can I not express my opinion?"

If we're talking about who has the deepest grudge against the dragons here, it's undoubtedly the Sea God Clan.

Seeing that Zu Long's expression was not good, she knew without guessing that he had been extorted by Zhu Que, so she naturally couldn't fall behind.

Although she couldn't obtain those resources, seeing the dragons bleed made her happier than if she had received them.

Wei Chen took another careful look at the mermaid. She was gentle, quiet, and elegant, the kind of woman every man would want to protect.

But the truth is he's a tough nut to crack, not someone to mess with!

Upon hearing this, the First Emperor was so enraged that his eyes blazed with fire.

"What? Fellow Daoist is unwilling to form an alliance with us?" The mermaid's expression remained unchanged, her smile still sweet.

"Good, good, good!" Zu Long gritted his teeth and said "good" three times. "Our clan is willing to provide five top-grade innate spiritual materials, one-tenth of the resources within five Yuanhui, and three hundred thousand ordinary innate spiritual materials."

His heart was bleeding. He hadn't only failed to get any resources this time, but had also suffered a huge loss. He made up his mind that when he returned, he would definitely suppress the Evil Dragon branch.

"Excellent!" This was truly an unexpected bonus, and Suzaku was overjoyed. "That's settled then. Now let's discuss how to allocate these resources. What are your thoughts?"

After waiting a few seconds and seeing no response, Zhuque's expression turned serious, and he said, "Since no one has a specific plan, then let me make the allocation!"

Zhuque pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's very unfair to distribute it equally, because each force has its strengths and weaknesses, and their contributions will naturally differ. I think whoever contributes the most should receive more. What do you all think of my distribution?"

Everyone in the hall remained silent, having already anticipated this outcome before arriving. They were meant to fight on the front lines, but they had no chance to share resources.

This is the glory of the strong and the tragedy of the weak.

The White Tiger and the Qilin Emperor exchanged a glance, then shook their heads with wry smiles.

Sorry! My phone is beyond repair! It takes forever to turn on.
