I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

"What?! We're withdrawing from the Divine Fire Continent fragment?!"

"Old Long! What kind of joke are you making?! Do you even know what you're saying?!"

"The Divine Fire Continent has just been discovered, and it holds epoch-making legacies! You actually want us all to withdraw?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"

Inside the hall, the crowd argued heatedly, their faces flushed and necks red. Even the blond-haired, blue-eyed man was trembling with anger and his face was red. If they agreed, their country would truly become a laughing stock.

"Your Excellency, this matter must not be agreed to. We are willing to pay compensation, we can give up the Blazing Fire Canyon and the Cold Cave, and we can even give them the Hall of Light, but we cannot give up the Divine Fire Continent."

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the latest intelligence obtained by our vanguard scouts, the inheritance buried there is far superior to our current inheritance. It contains blessed lands and ancient secret realms. If the Dragon Kingdom were to take it all for itself, it wouldn't be long before, let alone our Ta Kingdom, even if all eleven of our nations joined together, we would be no match for it in less than three years."

Although the people around him were annoyed, they only dared to whisper in the blond-haired, blue-eyed man's ear, but how could he not know about this matter?

That fragment of the continent contains not only heritage, but also countless gold mines, rare minerals, and unknown rare materials.

Whether it's crafting equipment, weapons, or array potions, the Rogers family can usher in the most glorious moment in its history.

Of course, that's secondary. The most important thing is that they have discovered a vein of energy crystals with a purity they have never seen before.

Those crystals can be used for upgrades, advancements in domains, and the forging of equipment and weapons. They are also the energy source for many advanced weapons.

With it, the Rogers family would not only advance further, but they would also achieve instant success, making domination of the planet a reality they could no longer even dream of.

Therefore, the matter of the Divine Fire Continent is absolutely not something we can give up.

"Elder Long!"

As soon as the blond-haired, blue-eyed man spoke, everyone else fell silent.

"We'll accept the compensation, and we can concede those territories you mentioned, but the Divine Fire Continent is absolutely out of the question."

Upon hearing this, Elder Long did not reply immediately, but instead chuckled and took a sip of tea.

"If you don't agree to this condition, I can offer you a new solution."

The blond-haired, blue-eyed man's brow twitched as he realized that he would have to bleed a lot this time. He had already figured out that Elder Long also knew that this was impossible; it was purely using the conditions of the Divine Fire Continent as bait.

"Okay, then tell me, what do you want?"

Old Master Long smiled and looked at the blond-haired, blue-eyed man with a gentle and refined manner.

"The matter of the Divine Fire Continent can be used as a bargaining chip. If you want it, you'll have to exchange it for the conditions I'm about to discuss."

"Well, that is, the conditions that follow."

"Okay, go ahead."

The initiative is now in their hands, and they have no choice but to accept it.

"The second condition is that you discover 70% of the resources on the fragments of the Divine Fire Continent, including inheritances, energy mines, caves, blessed lands, mansions, etc. If you agree, you can obtain mining rights for a total of 30% of the Divine Fire Continent."

"This is impossible?! Seventy percent? That's too much!"

"Exactly! Seventy percent? What's the difference between that and robbery?"

"Trading 30% of the total territory for 30% of the profits? That's an absolute joke!"

"Elder Long, this isn't negotiation! It's robbery!"

"I disagree! Absolutely disagree! Let's just do it!"

"Yes! Thirty percent needs to be divided among our eleven countries, and we still have to give up seventy percent of the profits. Isn't that just working for nothing?"

"If that's how you are, then there's no room for discussion."

Seeing the crowd's indignation, each banging on the table in protest, Old Master Long was not annoyed. Instead, he chuckled, picked up his teacup, and smiled with drooping eyelids.

"Xiao Zhang, send a message to Lu Yun."

"Wait!!!"

The blond-haired, blue-eyed man's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly.

"Elder Long, your conditions are too harsh. We're essentially working for your Dragon Kingdom for free."

Old Master Long put down his teacup and smiled gently.

"How about you listen to my third condition?"

The blond-haired, blue-eyed man's gaze sharpened, and he frowned slightly as he spoke.

"Okay, go ahead."

"If you agree to the second condition, then we will give up two spots in the upcoming God and Demon Canyon and only ask for three."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped and fell silent.

Many people even had a drastic change in expression, their pupils shrinking sharply.

Simply put, before the discovery of the fragments of the Divine Fire Continent, the Divine Demon Canyon was the most important place. Countries fought to the death for the quota before it was finally determined.

This is enough to show the importance of the God and Demon Canyon.

But now, it's unbelievable that the Dragon Kingdom is willing to give up three spots.

But... after calming down, everyone still felt it was inappropriate.

Firstly, the God and Demon Canyon has been explored many times, and resources and inheritance are limited. Even if new ones are discovered, it will be difficult to influence the situation.

Secondly, the Divine Fire Continent is a newly discovered fragmented continent, and its area is much larger than that of the Divine Demon Canyon.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the Divine Fire Continent is necessarily stronger than the Divine Demon Canyon, but rather that, currently, the Divine Fire Continent is more important.

The group exchanged glances, all understanding each other's thoughts, so the blond-haired, blue-eyed man hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Elder Long, thank you for your generosity, but it is absolutely unacceptable to exchange three spots for 70% of the Mythical Continent."

"That's easy."

Old Master Long remained as steady as Mount Tai, his expression still gentle.

"We can take 50% of the profits from Divine Fire Continent, and we can take 30% of your profits, but we need to add 2 more slots for Divine Demon Canyon."

"We don't like wasting time or talking nonsense, so this is our bottom line. If you agree, I'll make Lu Yun stop right now. If you don't agree, then we'll all go down together."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the territory was divided in half among 11 countries and they still had to hand over 30%, it was still far less than 70% of the total.

After exchanging glances with the others, the blond-haired, blue-eyed man quickly nodded.

"We can agree to the previous conditions, and we can give you the spot, but you must now make Lu Yun stop taking action personally."

"Xiao Zhang, send a message to Lu Yun."

Old Master Long didn't waste any words, but his answer did make everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Lu Yun still intends to lead his men to attack their country, as long as Lu Yun doesn't intervene, they can survive.

Moreover, although this matter was not discussed in person, Elder Long would certainly not allow Lu Yun's people to commit acts of destroying a country in the outside world.

Going to attack is mostly just for show, to get revenge, and there will be some bottom line.

It won't escalate to the point of a life-or-death conflict.

In this way, the external environment is preserved, and so is the foundation.

Although... I paid an extremely painful price here.
