I am GSD, a sword that explodes stars

Chapter 311 Prove Qualification and Achieve Cooperation

"Mr. Luke, just tell me whether you agree or not."

Diao Zhatian did not distinguish anything for his side.

Because what he is going to say next is to expose Luke, which is the most crucial thing he is doing now.

That is to restore strength. Luke has been hiding it very well, and perhaps not many people know about it.

But what if this secret is revealed by some strangers you just met.

Diao Zhatian does not rule out the possibility that Luke will want to kill to silence the witness because his secret has been exposed, so he has to make Luke agree to some things.

"The most I can guarantee is that if what you say next angers me, you can leave safely this time."

"I can't guarantee that I won't attack you later, and I can't guarantee that I can agree to your terms."

Luke carefully sensed the confidence displayed by the group of people in front of him, and did not promise that he would not take action.

Just for Becky's sake, these outsiders from the Lant Continent can be given a chance to retreat.

"can."

Diao Zhatian felt Luke's inner struggle and knew that this was the other party's biggest concession.

In fact, for players, there is no fear of Luke at all.

They have even participated in the war that broke out when the Dragon Dimension Invasion broke out.

In that battlefield, level 100 players were no better than dogs, with apostles everywhere.

Only beings at the transcendent level are the absolute force in that war.

They had seen such big scenes before, so how could they be afraid of the apostle Luke? They came to negotiate so politely only because they did not want to kill Luke.

Now that they can ensure Esther's safe evacuation, they will have no concerns even if a war breaks out.

"Besides wanting to return to your homeland, the second most urgent thing for you is that you are eager to recover your strength as soon as possible so as to get through your current period of weakness."

"If I want to kill you, now is the best time."

"Because you are in an extremely weak state, you have been silent and rarely show up. You have been concentrating on accumulating light and dark energy in the Silent City, trying to avoid the prying eyes of others and return to your true peak."

Then Diao Zhatian looked at Luke and told him his true condition.

"Where did you learn this?"

When Luke heard this, veins bulged on his two shriveled hands and his voice became cold.

He is so taciturn that people even think he is dumb. He tinkers with the Silent City like a wooden man every day just to restore his peak state.

Only his most loyal subordinates would know about it, such as the Golden Clown, who could be considered as his personal guards.

As for other people whose loyalty was not as high, he did not reveal them.

However, these visitors from other worlds revealed his deepest secrets in one sentence. Could it be that Held had deliberately brought them here?

"Mr. Luke, calm down. We said we came here with sincerity and we don't want to go to war with your Silent City."

"I can't tell you how we found out about this, but I can guarantee that this has nothing to do with Held, and I haven't told anyone else about it."

"And our Lant Continent is not as weak as you think."

"We should have mentioned to Becky that there are apostle-level warriors in Lant Continent, and there are even more powerful beings than apostles."

"I wonder if she has told you all these things."

Diao Zhatian felt the murderous intent in Luke's heart, and his voice contained special emotional fluctuations. He spoke repeatedly to calm Luke's emotions.

"How could there be someone stronger than an apostle?"

When Luke heard this, he thought that Becky seemed to have mentioned this in detail when she described how she met a group of good people and all the details that happened with a happy face, but he didn't take it seriously when he heard it.

Because Luke himself is in his peak state, and is one of the most invincible beings in the apostle realm.

If he hadn't been careless and was ambushed by Held, Luke would have had many ways to deal with this guy Held in a head-on battle.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't heard or seen it. There is still a long time to come, and you will always have the opportunity to see it."

"Because this matter is very important, I reiterate that we have no intention of making an enemy of you."

"I want to use the Silent City to enter the Demon Realm because the passage is right here and there is no other way. I don't mean to offend you by coming here."

"We know your weakened state, and we know how you can truly recover to your peak."

"How do you feel about allowing future visitors from the Lant Continent to pass through the Silent City and enter the Demon Realm in exchange for helping you recover to your peak quickly?"

"There may be a lack of various resources and energy in the demon world."

“But there is not much pressure at all for Lant Continent to provide power for the various facilities it manufactures for you.”

Diao Zhatian saw Luke's shocked heart and knew that this opportunity might be fleeting, so he struck while the iron was hot and explained the situation.

It is true that Luke has recovered to his peak strength. He is indeed very strong and is one of the strongest men in the demon world.

But in the Lant continent, there is more than one strong person who can defeat Luke.

Whether it is the mysterious Sword God Master Ivan or the Archangel Miss Remire, they are all truly above the level of Transcendents.

Even if they were only dealing with an apostle-level warrior, as long as they could ask Teacher Galantia to help, they would be confident that they could deal with Luke.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the change brought about by the arrival of the Silent City on the Lant Continent can only be regarded as the most common change.

“You guys are really interesting.”

"But how can I confirm that what you said is true and not a trap set for me?"

There was no doubt that Luke was tempted when he heard this condition, but he still had some concerns in his heart.

Although as long as he can recover to his peak, he won't have to act crazy anymore, and all problems will no longer be problems.

If this could be accomplished, it would not be difficult for people from the Lant Continent to pass through the Silent City and go deeper into the Demon Realm.

But he had only just met this group of people. Why were they so eager to cooperate with him?

"You are not the first Apostle we have encountered."

"Stalker · Xiluoke, Black Plague · Diregi, Long Legs · Rotus, Flame Devourer · Antun have all been to Lant Continent."

"But now Antoine is dead."

"The three apostles, Xiluo, Di Ruiji and Luo Tesi, are still alive and have chosen to stay in Lant Continent."

"I don't know how you want us to prove it, if you want to prove whether there is a being stronger than the apostles in the Lant Continent."

"Why not go to Lant Continent and talk to those apostle-level masters?"

"From what we know, they are also one of the apostles like you."

“They should be able to prove the truth of something better than I can.”

Diao Zhatian heard the hesitation in Luke's heart and spoke.

"..."

These words made Luke fall into deep thought.

He knew the reasons why the apostles who disappeared from the demon world disappeared.

I never thought that they are now staying in the Lant Continent.

He had expected Antun to die. When Antun was at his peak, almost no one could be his enemy except the other apostles.

But when traveling to other worlds, there appear beings that are more powerful than the apostles.

Then Antun's crazy behavior of devouring everything is bound to attract the murderous intentions of the strong.

"Mr. Luke, you said that you were being extra tolerant towards us for Becky's sake."

"It's the same for us, because we have never seen a strong person like Becky who is kind-hearted and cute."

"So I don't want to start a war with you, which would put both of us on a path where we must fight to the death."

"Perhaps in your eyes, we may be weak."

“But in our eyes, don’t say you haven’t recovered to your peak, even if you have recovered to your peak.”

"Your Silent City will not become a force that we cannot afford to offend."

"Because you don't even know what kind of powerful people exist above the apostles, it means that your position and vision are limited to this."

"In fact, it's not that you are giving us alms, but we are giving you a way to survive."

"We don't have to prove much to you."

"Now you just have to decide whether you choose win-win cooperation or death."

Jian Potian stood up at this time, his words were much more powerful than Diao Zhatian's, and the scarlet blood pupils in his dark eyeballs were already emitting bursts of red light.

In negotiations, it is necessary for one person to play the good cop and the other to play the bad cop.

If they didn't want to go to war with Luke, they would have felt their conscience was condemned when they saw Becky crying loudly in the end.

Are these players really afraid of going to war with Luke?

The answer is definitely that there is no way they are afraid. They just want to approach things in a more peaceful way and are not afraid of Luke at all.

They just wanted to skip the Silent City and go deeper into the Demon Realm for training.

What if Luke doesn't agree to this and is determined to be their enemy?

"You guys, I..."

When the Golden Clown saw how these guys dared to speak so brazenly, the golden mask turned scarlet.

At this moment, an eerie ghostly aura transformed into a dark wind that enveloped the room.

"If you insist on dying, you can break your promise and give it a try now."

"Let's see which of us will be the last winner."

A voice came from behind Luke, Golden Clown, Becky and others.

Luke, the Golden Clown, and Becky looked over when they heard the sound, and saw a man with blue ghost fire burning all over his body, scarlet ghost hands, and a wild smile on his face. The man seemed to be here but did not seem to exist in the real world. He was standing on an instrument with the sword in his hand unsheathed.

Behind this man, a ghostly figure with a terrifying appearance appeared, and the terrifying aura of level 149 brought about a raging dark wind.

This scene made Luke and the Golden Clown's expressions change suddenly.

"We want to discuss cooperation, just to give you a chance to survive."

"Rather than letting you mistakenly think that you are always in an absolutely high position and give us alms from a high position."

"Although killing you might make my conscience condemn me, and I feel bad."

"But I am even more upset that you have been misled into thinking that you can look down on us from a high position."

The Liver Emperor felt the gaze and the smile on his face became more evil.

"Who the hell are you?"

Luke stretched out his hand to block the scarlet-red Golden Clown's mask, and looked solemnly at the terrifying ghost figure behind the man with the ghost hand.

You have to know that even at his peak, he was only level 149.

But as soon as this guy made a move, he attracted this unknown existence that could be compared to his peak state.

"It seems that you finally understand the situation and finally know how to ask for names."

"I am a practitioner of the Ghost Swordsman Devil May Cry school. You can call me the Liver Emperor."

"Luke, relax. You said you would let us go regardless of whether we agree to cooperate or not."

"It's a courtesy to return the favor. Naturally, we won't take the initiative to attack you."

"But don't let us see you guys acting so superior all the time."

"It makes us feel that cooperating with you to give you a chance to survive is a mistake."

When the Liver Emperor heard this question, his expression became solemn and dignified. Holding a sword burning with ghost fire, he walked down from the instrument while speaking, but did not directly destroy the instrument that Luke valued most.

Although the Liver Emperor has just completed his second self-awakening, he is still far from becoming a true dark lord, and he cannot summon the true bodies of the nine ghosts and gods to the world.

But he can summon the real bodies of the ghosts and gods he has conquered to come into the world.

Even after being summoned, the level 149 ghost god can only attack once or twice.

But it was enough to serve as his trump card to defeat two peak apostles of higher levels.

The figure of the Liver Emperor flashed like a ghost with every step. After he finished speaking, he stepped back into the overall camp of players.

It was just that the ghost shadow that the hard-working player had just revealed made Luke, the Golden Clown, and Becky completely lose their extremely relaxed attitude.

"What is your purpose?"

When Luke saw the instruments were still intact, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He looked solemnly at the man in front of him who had always insisted on negotiating with him.

Although the man in front of him did not look particularly strong, he was able to do it through the actions of the man who claimed to be the hard-working emperor.

He knew that since this man was pushed forward to be in charge of the main negotiations, his ability could not be too bad, and at the very least his status should be relatively high.

"I'm sorry, they are impatient and gave you a bad experience."

"Our purpose has been stated from the beginning."

“We can help you get back to your peak sooner rather than later.”

"With this as a condition, we just want future visitors from Lant Continent to be able to safely pass through your Silent City and go deep into the Demon Realm. There are no other additional conditions."

Diao Zhatian kept a smile on his face the whole time he heard this.

“I feel your sincerity.”

"I agreed to this."

"How are you going to help me?"

Luke knew that if he delayed too long without giving a response, some of the people in front of him might become impatient.

The hard-working guy just now went directly to the instrument, which meant that the other party not only knew his desire to return to his peak as soon as possible, but also knew his real weakness at this stage.

Once his equipment is directly destroyed by these guys, all his years of hard work will be wasted.

It’s just that the hard-working guy only showed that he knew about this weakness but did not take advantage of it.

This made Luke feel fortunate that because of Becky, he did not show too much hostility towards these outsiders from the Lant Continent.

Otherwise, if the two sides go directly into war, then when the other side knows a lot about him, Silent City will suffer a catastrophe.

"Silent City looks like a technologically advanced mechanical city."

"But we know that all this is because of you."

"The technology of our Lant Continent may be somewhat different from the various artifacts you have made."

"But the God's City of our Lant Continent is a technological empire." "They have an extremely vast land and a large amount of electricity, which can provide you with instruments that gather light and dark energy for a long time."

“You no longer need to worry about lack of energy.”

"This should help you get back to your peak sooner rather than later."

“And you don’t have to worry at all. Held knows some of your plans and dares to trouble you.”

"Because of my master, Held would never dare to appear in Lant Continent blatantly."

Upon hearing this, Diao Zhatian told the specific ways to help.

In fact, if Diao Zhatian takes action himself, he can also help Luke return to his peak as soon as possible.

He now controls the fluctuations of light and darkness, so speeding up Luke's recovery will only take some time.

But since we are going to cooperate, guide Luke to make some contact with the Capital of God of the Technological Empire.

Then it is possible to win over Luke and side with the Lant Continent in the future.

"Who is your master?"

After Luke realized that the group of people in front of him were not weaklings but strong people who were capable of negotiating terms with him, some of the concerns in his heart disappeared.

"My master is the mysterious sword god Ivan, the master of the Ghost Swordsman Dojo."

"You may not know me now. If you are willing to cooperate, activate the instrument in advance to recover some strength, then go to Lant Continent and find the other apostles to talk."

"Becky also wants to go to Lant Continent and take a look at the outside world, right?"

"As a grandfather, you should take her over there to have a look."

"While you are recovering your strength faster, you can also gain some knowledge."

Upon hearing this, Diao Zhatian announced his master's name.

But he felt that Luke had never heard of Master Ivan's name.

Because Luke had no idea that there were beings in the world stronger than the apostles, and naturally he didn't know about their master.

"Mysterious Sword God Ivan, I remember this name."

"I will go to Lant Continent too."

When Luke heard that the other party even knew that he could advance some of his power, his eyes narrowed and he carefully wrote down the name.

At the same time, he also planned to go to the Lant Continent to see what kind of existence existed above the apostles.

"Although there were some frictions during the process, since we both agreed to each other's conditions."

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Diao Zhatian saw that Luke finally agreed and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Pleasant to work with."

When Luke saw Diao Zhatian’s outstretched hand, he also stretched out his own hand.

"Mr. Golden Clown, please don't think that we are not being fair."

"For your repeated kind reminders to us."

"Our destined one has been friendly enough to you."

"In the past, anyone who dared to block our path would die."

“Even the apostles are no exception to this.”

Waltz on Ice saw that the Golden Clown was still wearing a red mask and seemed very angry, so a smile appeared on his face.

"Humph, I underestimated you."

The Golden Clown knew that the one who had just attacked was only the Liver Emperor, but the terrifying power he displayed in one move made him feel greatly threatened.

These guys, who appear to be at level 102 at most, are not as weak as they appear.

"Whether you look down on us or not, at least you showed us kindness."

"We will also show our kindness."

"I hope Mr. Golden Clown can tell us more about the demon world."

"We are new here, and we only know that there are some apostles in the Demon Realm. We don't know enough about other common sense and rules of the Demon Realm."

Waltz on Ice saw the Golden Clown's mask begin to change color and turn back to gold.

"Big Brother, do you want to attack my grandfather?"

Becky found the scene a little hard to understand, watching the night and listening to the wind.

"After the Lant Continent is connected to the Demon Realm."

"Because your grandfather is a powerful apostle, he may pose some threats to the Lant Continent."

"We wanted to take action against your grandfather at the beginning and solve some hidden dangers in advance."

"But because you said we were good people."

"We suddenly got the good guy card, so we naturally can't let you feel too disappointed and cry and say that we are bad people."

"So we temporarily gave up the idea of ​​taking action and decided to communicate first to see if the two sides can reach a direct cooperation without provoking a war."

"It seems that the cooperation has been successful. You are welcome to come to Lant Continent to play with us more often in the future."

Ye Litingfeng saw Becky talking to him and a friendly smile appeared on his face.

"Can Becky leave Silent City?"

Becky didn't quite understand what he heard, but he knew that the arrival of this group of people seemed to be able to help his grandfather, so he reached a cooperation.

"We in Lant Continent can help your grandfather solve the problems he is worried about."

"Once your grandfather has recovered and has no worries, it will definitely not be difficult to let you come to Lant Continent to play with us."

Ye Litingfeng walked up to Becky, squatted down, looked at the cute girl in front of him, and said with a smile.

"What does it mean that Grandpa has returned to his peak?"

Becky was a little confused when he heard this.

"Nothing, you'll know soon enough."

"Anyway, this is definitely a good thing for you to be happy about."

"Just look forward to it."

Ye Liting Feng reached out and touched Becky's head, and said with a smile.

Luke apparently didn't tell Becky that he was in a weak state.

To Ye Er Ting Feng, it was normal for Luke to do this.

Because although Becky is very powerful, his mentality is like that of a child.

If Becky knew this hidden secret, she might suddenly leak it out.

It's no surprise that Luke kept this completely secret from Becky.

"Would you like to help my grandpa?"

"As expected, big brother and big sister, you are good people."

Becky was still confused by what she heard, but she knew that because of this group of people, something good would happen to her grandfather soon.

Of course she would be happy if good things happened to her Grandpa Luke.

"..."

When Luke heard this group of people, they made no secret of the fact that they were planning to kill him.

This made Luke look at his precious granddaughter Becky, who was smiling happily.

In the beginning, he asked the Golden Clown to bring Becky here, not only to give him hope of returning to his hometown, but also to let him experience the joy of a grandfather and a grandson. Now it seems that he has helped him a lot again. He is simply a lucky star.

"This nice guy card is really not that easy to digest."

Praise the Holy Light for seeing that the situation, which was tense just now and almost broke out into a fight, has now become a happy one.

"I hope that the enemies I meet in the future will be more ruthless, so that I won't have any psychological burden after taking action."

Jian Potian deeply agreed with what he said.

Their destined ones have been upgraded all the way up, have gone through countless battles, and will show no mercy when it comes to killing the enemy.

However, when they met Becky and Luke was implicated, the sharp blade in their hearts that dared to kill all enemies became a little dull.

All 2801 players present had been treated with innocent friendliness by Becky when they stepped into the regional projection of the Silent City.

Even though Becky attacked out of anger, he did not take their lives.

After causing them some physical pain, he just made a face, cursed them a few times and ran away.

In the past, when they had fought with enemies and monsters, they had never seen the other side hold back.

If they gain Becky's favor in the regional projection and complete the side quest, Becky will give them a map of the Silent City.

This incident has also been replicated in the present world where they live.

Although they did not take it personally, they all knew the heavy feeling that Diao Zhatian had in accepting this map.

"It's really troublesome to try to stop the war and negotiate cooperation without a fight breaking out."

The Liver Emperor stroked the scabbard and spoke.

He and Jian Potian were playing the bad guys just now, and they were both guided by Diao Zhatian's voice transmission.

Otherwise, the two of them would still have enough patience to wait for Luke to make a decision.

But Diao Zhatian knows that in negotiations, one must strike while the iron is hot.

Therefore, after Jian Potian's domineering speech, the Golden Clown was enraged and wanted to take action, which allowed the Liver Emperor to show a little bit of his strength.

Only by making Luke understand that both parties are mutually qualified in this cooperation negotiation can this cooperation be successfully concluded.

Otherwise, Luke would always think that cooperating with them was a form of almsgiving.

Even if Diao Zhatian and the other eight people got the first kill, and had seen Becky crying, they could make more concessions.

The other 2793 players who only know some of the situation but not all of it may not have that much patience.

To put it bluntly, I can be kind and choose to communicate with you in a way that stops the conflict, but you can't be aggressive.

All the players present now have completed the second awakening and reached level 100.

Although everyone knows that they cannot be considered one of the top strong men in the Lant Continent, they all think that they are already strong men.

The dignity of the strong cannot be insulted by others.

Especially as they have the favor of killing and the blessing of immortality, they are even more arrogant in their hearts.

Normally everyone is in a good mood and many things are easy to discuss, but once the mood becomes very bad because of certain things, people may even have murderous intentions.

It is not easy to calm down this murderous intention.

"It can prevent something from happening that everyone will feel guilty and regretful about afterwards."

“It’s okay even if there are more of them.”

Waltz on Ice heard the conversation between the three people, looked at the blonde girl Becky who was communicating with Night Tingfeng with a smile on her face in front of her, and spoke.

"That being said, if you have too many concerns in your heart, the sword in your hand will become dull."

Jian Potian spoke upon hearing this.

When other players saw these big guys who had already got the first kill communicating with each other, they all seemed to be thinking about something.

Soon, they will be able to complete the first kill with the help of the strategies provided by these eight bosses.

Then they will truly understand why these eight people, led by Diao Zhatian, showed so much patience and kindness towards Luke.

Esther was in the crowd. Seeing that there was no fight between the two sides, they reached a cooperation and she finally felt relieved.

Because of Mr. Ivan, Esther would not immediately think about getting rid of the apostles just because their memories appeared, but would consider how to deal with them after truly understanding them.

From the current contacts, although both Luke and the Golden Clown showed some arrogance of strong men, they did not show their unreasonable side.

Of course, Esther also knew very well that these people, the destined ones, had grown up and were qualified to talk and cooperate with other strong people.

Esther has always understood that a person's words do not count.

In the empty space above the Silent City.

"Let's go, it looks like there's nothing wrong."

Alvin, who had been watching from the sidelines, saw that the two sides did not end up fighting, and reached a preliminary willingness to cooperate, knowing that he did not need to intervene too much for the time being.

As long as Luke understands the many things that happened in the Lant Continent and goes to the Sky City to meet Lotus, he will naturally know what restraint is.

The Rotus that followed now was just a spiritual body, and his real body was still watching everything at the bottom of the sea of ​​the sky city.

If it weren't for Lotus who could help watch over the Sky City and the Principality of Stan.

It's impossible for Segret to follow Ivan around so confidently.

"Your disciple has really become something great."

"What kind of ghost is that he summoned?"

When Shilok heard this, he turned around as well, but he was a little curious.

She could tell that what the Liver Emperor summoned was the real ghost.

"The Painful God Balk."

"It is not one of the nine great ghost gods, but its strength and ability are pretty good among the ghost gods in the underworld."

Ivan answered casually upon hearing this.

There are many powerful beings in the underworld who can be called ghosts and gods.

However, if you want to add another one to the nine ghosts and gods and become the tenth ghost and god, you must have the power to crush all the ghosts and gods, that is, to become a transcendent.

After being dragged into the underworld, Jiger relied on his extremely powerful talents during his lifetime and the fact that the abilities bestowed upon him by various ghosts and gods had not disappeared. He quickly rose in the underworld and became one of the nine ghosts and gods.

"Where should we go first?"

Di Ruiji knew that there were many terrifying existences in the underworld, and he was not surprised that Ivan's apprentice, Gan Di, could summon powerful ghosts and gods to help at around level 100.

"Go find Kahn and Held first."

Upon hearing this, Alvin looked forward, and his mind had already pointed out the direction for him.
