Chapter 387 Cooperation and Win-Win? The Demon Race Forms an Alliance with the West!
Although they understood in their hearts, the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, pretended not to understand.
"Oh?"
"Win-win cooperation?"
A strange light flashed in Zhunti's eyes, then he smiled and looked at Dijun, saying:
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."
"What exactly do you mean by this so-called win-win cooperation?"
"I would like to hear the details."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jieyin also looked at Dijun.
Di Jun smiled slightly, thinking to himself:
"These two Western saints really like to play dumb when they know the truth!"
"I, the Heavenly Emperor, have already put it so bluntly."
Of course, Di Jun thought this in his heart, but said it aloud:
"Both sages knew this."
"This great calamity that is about to occur is a great war between my primordial world and the Devouring Universe Realm!"
"The Dao Ancestor clearly stated that the Saint Crystals would be distributed according to the magnitude of the battle merits."
"My purpose in coming here is to have the two sages lend my demon race a hand in seizing the Sage's Crystal!"
Upon hearing what Dijun said, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a smile.
After a slight pause, the guide began:
"The Heavenly Emperor."
"How many extraordinary people and remarkable individuals are there in this vast and primordial world?"
"Why target my Western religion of all places?"
Upon hearing this, Di Jun sighed helplessly and said in a slightly somber tone:
"What the sage said is true."
"There are many powerful beings in this primordial world."
"Unfortunately..."
At this point, Di Jun paused slightly, then added:
"There are not many who can form an alliance with my demon race."
"The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are blood enemies, and they will certainly not want to see our Demon Clan achieve merit in the subsequent great battle."
"I fear that when the time comes, they will try every means to hinder us and obstruct us from the shadows."
"The Three Pure Ones are detached from worldly affairs, and their disciples are numerous and powerful."
"The powerful rogue cultivators of the primordial world are not to be trifled with."
"Our demon race wishes to make a difference in this calamity, to seize the Saint's Crystal, and to add a pillar to the primordial world. We cannot do without strong reinforcements."
"And this powerful ally is naturally the Western Religion, led by the two saints!"
After listening to what Dijun said, Jieyin and Zhunti smiled but didn't rush to reply.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent.
After a long silence, the Sage Zhunti narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a cold voice:
"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."
"You've said so much, but it seems you've only talked about cooperating with my Western religion; you haven't proposed anything about a win-win situation?"
"By helping your demon race seize that Saint's Crystal, your demon race has gained a Saint."
"What about my Western religion?"
As he spoke, Sage Zhunti turned his gaze and looked directly at Emperor Jun.
Before Di Jun could reply, the Sage of Guidance spoke again:
"The Saint's Crystal is indeed tempting, but there are only two of them."
"His Majesty seems determined to succeed."
"But the West can't just leave empty-handed, doing all the work for someone else, can it?"
Upon hearing what the two Western Saints said, Di Jun smiled faintly, knowing that it was time for him to promise benefits and advantages.
After a slight pause, Di Jun's gaze lingered on Jieyin and Zhunti for a moment before he replied:
"You two sages, please rest assured."
"Since I have come here, I have come with the sincere intention of forming an alliance."
"If the two sages agree, this Heavenly Emperor will naturally not let his allies suffer losses."
At this point, Di Jun paused, then said with a serious expression:
"If these two sages agree to form an alliance with my demon race this time..."
"After the matter is accomplished, I, the Heavenly Emperor, am willing to give one-third of the Heavenly Court's fortune to the West to help the two Sages greatly prosper there."
"At the same time, I, the Heavenly Emperor, can also reward the two saints with a million merits."
"To compensate for any potential losses the West may suffer in this war!"
"What are the opinions of the two sages?"
As he spoke, Di Jun turned to look at the two Western Saints, waiting for their decision.
"One-third of Heaven's fortune?"
"A million merits?"
Even the saints Jieyin and Zhunti possessed such noble character.
Upon hearing Di Jun's words, he was deeply shocked!
You must understand that this fortune is the foundation of power, and it is extremely mysterious.
As the nominal legitimate successor of the primordial world, how immense is the fortune of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court?
One-third of the fortune is enough to instantly boost the fortune of the barren Western Religion, making its foundation several times more stable.
And a million merits is a real "hard currency".
Whether it's enhancing cultivation, crafting magical artifacts, resolving karmic entanglements, or blessing a sect, it has endless wonderful uses!
The key point is that both of these sages still owe the Heavenly Dao a huge amount of merit.
If one can accumulate this million merits, one can naturally repay a large portion of it.
It can be said that the two benefits offered by Di Jun are precisely what the Western Religion currently lacks.
After a slight pause, Zhunti's expression shifted, and he looked at Jieyin with a meaningful gaze.
The way he looked clearly indicated that he was seeking the opinion of the guide.
Upon receiving Zhunti's gaze, Jieyin nodded slightly and agreed.
"Ha ha!"
Then, the Sage Zhunti burst into laughter, looked directly at Di Jun, and said:
"His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is truly sincere!"
"Protecting the primordial world is the duty of us cultivators, and joining forces with His Majesty to fight the enemy is also our duty."
"As for some assistance, it's nothing to mention. This alliance..."
At this point, Zhunti paused briefly, then nodded and added:
"When disaster strikes, we must unite and work together."
"Your Majesty's request... is accepted by the West."
As Zhunti finished speaking, Jieyin, who was standing nearby, nodded and responded with a soft "Very well!"
Upon seeing that the two Western Saints had agreed, Di Jun was overjoyed. His eyes gleamed brightly, and he said excitedly:
"good!"
"Then I, the Heavenly Emperor, hereby wish for an alliance between the demon race and the Western Religion, so that both may find their proper place!"
After saying this, Dijun bowed to Jieyin and Zhunti, and then left without lingering.
After Dijun left, the smiles on Jieyin and Zhunti's faces gradually faded, replaced by deep emotions.
"Senior brother."
"This Di Jun is really dreaming, actually asking us to help his demon race compete for the Saint's Crystal."
"However, the reward he offered was quite generous."
"One-third of the Heavenly Court's fortune, and a million merits."
"What are your thoughts, Senior Brother?"
Jieyin glanced at Zhunti slightly, not rushing to answer him, and appeared to be deep in thought.
After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"The invasion of our primordial world by the Devouring Universe Realm may seem like a robbery, but it is also an opportunity for great prosperity!"
"There's no rush to draw a conclusion on this matter."
"We need to plan carefully, lest we miss this opportunity!"
"As for the alliance with the demon race, we can agree to it for now, and then we can adapt to the situation as it unfolds!"
Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"What you say is absolutely right, Senior Brother!"
……
Meanwhile, at that sacred mountain.
"Um?"
Seeing Di Jun withdraw from Mount Sumeru, Kunpeng frowned and muttered to himself:
"What exactly is this scruffy bird, Di Jun, doing here?"
"Judging from his smug expression, it seems he's made some kind of agreement with those two saints?"
