Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

With Jiang Mo's arrival, everyone's attention naturally turned to him, regarding him as their pillar of support.

The three dragon elders and two scientists were also very enthusiastic, politely stepping forward to greet him, shake hands, and introduce themselves.

The elder, adorned with numerous medals, was named Dean.

The old man beside him had a kind face, deep-set eyes, and a sharp glint in his cloudy eyes. He was not tall and was rather thin, with a kind appearance. His name was Kenny. The tallest elder was Blake.

The two scientists who accompanied the three elders were Berg, who was in his middle age, and Benjamin, who was old, steady, and knowledgeable.

After gaining a general impression of them, Jiang Mo made no attempt to hide his opinion:

"I hope that we can cooperate very smoothly when facing the same threat. Since you are all here, I will not beat around the bush. I need to make use of all your existing technological resources, and I hope you understand."

"can."

Elder Dean, as the chief negotiator, readily agreed and made a commitment:

"I really like one of your human idioms, 'If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.' For the future of the same world, we are willing to give everything."

"Yes, Mr. Jiang, we are very pleased that you accepted our invitation!"

Another elder was also saying with great interest that in their dragon people's pre-set plan, Xuanzun was the highest priority target for recruitment in the entire world.

It was precisely because of his existence that the high-ranking members of the Dragonkin made up their minds to reveal the secret of the Starry Sky Humans' return and prepare for an unprecedented war, instead of sneaking away in a sorry state to the deep space of the universe and wandering for an indefinite period of time.

"I won't waste any more words with you all, let's take a look at this."

Jiang Mo smiled faintly. Taking advantage of everyone's presence, he waved his left hand, and his true qi surged, creating an incredibly clear scene that reenacted the conversation they had had inside the artificial wormhole.

"This is....."

"There are actually places like this..."

"Sure enough, it's been found; it's an artificial wormhole!"

Everyone was initially shocked, but as they listened, their scalps began to tingle. According to the Starry Sky Human Race's leaders and elders, aside from a small number of extraordinary beings, Masters, and Dao Lords who were deemed valuable enough to survive, all other living beings were to be annihilated?!

When Xuan Hua, Fei Xian Yu Zhu, Yue Min, and the others heard about the so-called 'Path to Immortality,' their eyes couldn't help but twitch. This was no Path to Immortality at all; it was clearly a path leading to the outside of Tian Yuan.

The Starry Sky Clan wanted to use the Star Destroyer to blast through the planet's core and create an explosion, breaking through the boundary and entering an unknown and vast world.

The elders and scientists of the dragon race were also shocked. They did not expect that Jiang Mo would communicate with the other side so quickly, and that he would refuse their invitations several times, giving up the opportunity to become one of the most powerful and prestigious elders in the human empire.

After watching all the scene reenactments, the dragon-human scientist Berg became wary, unable to distinguish whether it was a real event or something Jiang Mo had fabricated. Therefore, he first apologized and then directly asked Jiang Mo for confirmation:

"Mr. Jiang, please forgive my rudeness and ignorance. I want to know, did you really not waver, agree to their demands, and distort or modify these images?"

"That's not necessary."

Jiang Mo's reaction was very natural, his smile was very amiable, and his speech was both humorous and cold.

"If I've colluded with them, does it matter whether you forces know it or not?"

"With my current abilities, I can eliminate an unknown enemy of the demon race. If I so desire, I can reign supreme and rule this world. No one can resist me. All I need to do is eliminate the strongest and most powerful members of each faction, eradicate all their hopes of resistance, and then wait for the arrival of the Starry Sky Human Race."

"Isn't this a great success?"

"So, Mr. Berg, what do you think my motives were for feigning compliance with you when I possessed absolute military strength and absolute superiority?"

The sharp words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Berg from head to toe. Berg was also very clever. He immediately understood the meaning and game behind the words, as well as the answer he was seeking. He quickly bowed and apologized loudly.

"I'm sorry, I was too ignorant and failed to grasp this point. I've caused you trouble."

Berg showed no anger whatsoever; instead, he expressed self-reproach and humbly reflected on his actions.

Then, the Flying Immortal Master took over the conversation for Jiang Mo and, without any politeness or reciprocity, interrogated the group of dragon people:

"On the contrary, your technology is not much worse than that of the underground humans, and far superior to ours."

"If one day the Starry Sky Humans contact you using special communication methods, try to win you over, and promise you all sorts of benefits, would you have the attitude of absolutely refusing, no matter the cost?"

"This is inevitable; we have made all the necessary decisions and are psychologically prepared for the war."

Dean said firmly that even if the Starry Sky Humans extended an olive branch, they would be self-aware enough not to accept it.

On the one hand, they were worried that they would be wiped out without anyone noticing, just like the underground humans. On the other hand, they had prematurely revealed the secrets of the starry sky humans, causing all the creatures of the underground humans to perish. In the future, those underground humans who were resurrected and cloned would want to devour them alive and would inevitably settle scores.

"I'm sorry, your words are eloquent, but they can't move us."

Now it was Yue Min's turn to speak. It stared coldly at the dragon people and said, "I suppose you have some understanding of the culture on the surface. Have you ever heard the saying, 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts'?"

"Especially at such a critical moment, you cannot provide strong assurances that you will not, in times of crisis, justify stabbing us in the back for the benefit of the race."

"Even the smallest possibility makes me uneasy for a long time."

The dragon elders listened, exchanging glances as if considering whether to accept this explanation. Finally, Dean asked a question, his face filled with suspicion and caution, and said:

"So what exactly are the concessions you want us to make?"

"Remove the energy barrier from your underground capital city, and at no time during the war shall you relocate your people in large numbers through space tunnels, or provide any settlements for you within the solar system."

"You need to stand with us on the same front and share life and death."

Yue Min said without any hesitation that this was one of the ways it could think of to restrain him.

"I can agree to the first part, but I won't consider the rest for now."

The elders of the dragon people were also worried that after handing over the coordinates, they would be interfered with and destroyed by humans. In this way, they would lose their only chance to escape. Almost every settlement was connected by space grafting technology, so that when future disasters came, they could still use their unique wormholes to get away from this war-torn starry sky.

Hearing their statements, the wicked and malicious Yao Wang chuckled maliciously:

"This is not a request for concessions, but a notification that you must make compromises. If you don't want to consider it, I don't mind playing the villain and eating you all."

Having said that, Yao Wang licked the corner of its mouth. It wasn't joking; it really meant it.

"How...how could you do this!"

An elder was so angry that his face turned pale and his lips trembled, but he didn't know how to reprimand the impudent monster.

Just meeting those cold, cruel, demonic eyes was enough to extinguish all its courage and completely extinguish its anger.

"This isn't right, my human friends. At least leave us some space to live and show each other more respect."

Dean tried to persuade Jiang Mo to uphold justice for them, but was ignored. All he received was another suggestion from the Flying Immortal Master:

"Of course, if you think what these two demon kings said is absurd, then you don't have to accept it. I have an alternative method."

"Oh? Please speak." Dean narrowed his eyes, unable to guess what this person's scheme was.

The next moment, the answer is revealed.

"Your dragon race only need to bind yourselves with a vow, from top to bottom, from the oldest to the youngest, that you will not do anything to harm your allies during the preparation for war or during an ongoing war. In addition, you must provide all your technologies without reservation and must not conceal anything."

The Flying Immortal Master explained the specific effects of the True Word Spell to them.

"......"

After a few seconds of silence, the elders slowly nodded in agreement.

The Flying Immortal Master looked at Jiang Mo, seeking his opinion:

"Fellow Daoist, do you think this is feasible? Do you have any other suggestions?"

"It's troublesome."

Jiang Mo glanced casually at the elders and two scientists, and said:

“In the past, their representatives talked to me. The number of dragon people is over 80 million. Even if they chant incantations, it is a complicated project. Who will supervise and witness it is another problem. Moreover, it sounds extremely absurd.”

"In addition, I have a method that I have prepared long ago."

"???"

"??"

Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled. They saw Jiang Mo point his fingertip at the void, and instantly a thin wisp of scarlet blood floated in the air.

Those on their side recognized the scent as belonging to the Dragon People as soon as they smelled it, and Dean, Berg, and others all had a bad feeling.

Jiang Mo explained the origin and function of this drop of blood.

“Even before I spoke with Ayasis, I had already decided to take the blood of one of your clansmen as a catalyst for my supernatural powers.”

"Later, I had a fairly pleasant conversation with her. That girl was quite good at changing her tune, and I was too lazy to make things difficult for you dragon people anymore. Originally, in the original plan, I wanted to wipe you out along with the underground human race."

"However, this thought faded after I obtained information about the underground human race. After all, you haven't crossed my bottom line yet, and I don't need to target you specifically."

Hearing his words, the three elders, the two scientists, and the elite guards who accompanied them all felt a chill run down their spines. It turned out that their civilization had also been on the verge of extinction!

"This drop of blood I possess belongs to your dragon race. To be frank, I can use a bloodline supernatural power to carry out a full-scale extermination along the bloodlines of our shared race."

"As long as I activate my divine power, no matter how strong you dragon people are, if you are weaker than me, you will be instantly killed from a distance. No matter how far apart we are, it will not change. This is the great power of cause and effect, which cannot be avoided."

Jiang Mo spoke expressionlessly, explaining that this was the supernatural power he had awakened by refining the essence and blood of numerous demon kings and ancient demon kings—the Blood Source, an ultimate killing move against groups, originating from the bloodline of a descendant of the Southern Ridge Insect King.

"..."

After he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. A chill seeped into the hearts of the many dragon people. From the very beginning of their meeting, had their race's fate been so easily controlled by him?

How terrifying!

Just as their throats seemed to be blocked, and they couldn't utter a single word, Jiang Mo's voice rang out again, giving the dragon people a way out.

"Let's just consider what the seniors said earlier as a misunderstanding in jest."

"I hope that you and your race and people will do the right thing at the right time, which will benefit both of us."

"I also promise that as long as you dragon people do not attack humans or stab humans in the back, I will not do anything to you. Even if you encounter insurmountable problems in the future or your survival is threatened by other races, you can seek my protection. As long as you are in the right, I will definitely lend a helping hand."

Chapter 530 I Choose the Righteous Principle: A Turning Point in a Desperate Situation

The conditions proposed by Jiang Mo left the three dragon elders and two scientists with almost no grounds for disagreement. Their entire civilization's right to survival was still in the hands of the other party, leaving them with no right to negotiate.

It could be at this moment, or it could be at the next moment. Just as Jiang Mo said, he could temporarily be angered by the actions of the underground humans and ignore the threat of the dragon race, turning a blind eye to them; or he could change his mood one day and directly launch a racial annihilation spell against the dragon race.

Such horrifying methods would have been believed by other Masters like Dean, Berg, and Benjamin, but when Jiang Mo said them, the meaning was completely different. This was definitely not unfounded!

It's not that the other party can actually do it!

Perhaps that's why the underground human race disappeared...

As their imaginations ran deeper, the dragon people's heart rates began to rise uncontrollably, and their bodies instinctively felt tense.

Elder Dean, dressed in fine robes and adorned with heavy medals of honor, frowned slightly. Though his expression was somewhat stiff, he still voiced his concerns:

“We dragon people live underground and have virtually no contact with you humans. Not to mention thousands of years, even millions of years ago, when your ancestors were still monkeys and civilization was extremely backward, still in the era of slash-and-burn agriculture, we have never enslaved you or harmed you. We have only treated you as other ordinary creatures.”

"From one point of view, as long as you do not provoke a war, my people and the people of my kingdom naturally do not want to see a war, and even less do we want countless lives to die because of the conflict between the two races."

"But if one day in the future, it is your human race that starts a war, intending to annihilate us dragon people, then will you help your own race or the so-called 'greater good'?"

“If it is the latter, I think we don’t need to wait hundreds or thousands of years. You can annihilate us all here now for the benefit of humanity.”

Dean spoke with particular conviction, his amber eyes fixed on Jiang Mo's face, trying to find a flaw in his expression to deduce the truth.

“I stand on the side of righteousness. The lives of the human people are lives, and the lives of your people are lives too. Although I am just a human, I know that things can be good or bad, right or wrong. To me, white is white and black is black. There is no gray area to compromise.”

"Of course, as I said, if you are in the right and have a sense of righteousness, then I will never stand idly by, no matter what the cost."

Jiang Mo spoke in one breath, without the slightest hesitation. These were words from the bottom of his heart, and there was no need to fabricate them. He spoke freely and spontaneously.

The higher one's level of spiritual attainment, the more one cares about one's own emotions and feelings. Simply put, one always does what one believes is right, even if one's race, relatives, and the world all stand on the opposite side, one remains unwavering.

Dean saw sincerity in Jiang Mo's eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then expressed it again:

"We can agree to everything you said before. Now I have two more questions for you. Is that convenient?"

"Ask," Jiang Mo answered succinctly.

"Will you pass on this ability to your descendants, disciples, and followers? You will also die one day. If you are gone, what will we do if those who possess your abilities launch a genus-annihilation campaign against us? Is there any solution?"

Compared to the Star Destroyer Cannon and the mecha army, which are threats from the Star Race, Dean fears Jiang Mo's strange supernatural abilities even more.

It wasn't sure if it could defend against it, but based on the content of the conversation, it guessed that it contained the 'power of cause and effect,' which could probably ignore the limitations of space and time.

"I will not have any offspring or disciples. As for the younger generation in my sect, they do not possess my abilities. It is a bloodline supernatural power. I know of a dozen or so similar techniques, but none of them belong to my sect. Of course, their abilities are no threat to you either."

Jiang Mo understood the situation and worries of these dragon people, so he was exceptionally patient in comforting them.

"it is good."

"The second thing..."

The old man hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"During our cooperation with your human race, are we allowed to receive all of the technological achievements of the subterranean humans? After the war, will they be forcibly taken back and our knowledge sealed?"
