Chapter 889: Chapter 723 Leaving

Coercion and Enticement.

The practice of the All World Alliance is undoubtedly coercion and enticement.

Using the Profound Immortal Realm as a pawn to force him to make a decision.

However...

They seem to have misunderstood a point.

The Profound Immortal Realm is not his homeland.

Moreover, for Luo Jiuxiao, Wang Xuanjing, and others of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, they were already mentally prepared to move the entire sect to the Xuanhuang Realm when they first learned of the existence of an Evil God in the Longevity World.

The reason they haven’t made the final decision is partly because they are reluctant to give up their dominance in the Profound Immortal Realm, adhering to the idea of "rather be a chicken’s head than a phoenix’s tail."

On the other hand, it’s also because they saw hope in Gu Jinlai.

If Gu Jinlai truly can arrange their entry into the Xuanhuang Realm and give them a certain status...

Even if it’s not too high, providing them a place in the Dao, they would be extremely grateful.

If he can further gift them a portion of the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Marrow to help the two of them achieve the Great Dao Golden Immortal status, enjoying immortality, they would not hesitate even for a moment to give up the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.

So threatening Gu Jinlai with the Profound Immortal Realm is destined to have no effect.

However, Yuan Sheng and others’ approach slightly displeased Gu Jinlai.

Although his initial interactions with the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty were unpleasant, as the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty made decisions to capture and even kill those Nine Heavens Profound Immortals who drifted there, showing no mercy.

But evidently, the All World Alliance isn’t any good either.

After some contemplation, he made a decision.

"I need to understand the situation clearly before giving a reply."

Gu Jinlai said.

Seeing Gu Jinlai relent, Yuan Sheng’s face immediately showed a relaxed expression: "Of course, if Scholar Gu doesn’t believe it, you can ask Star Lord Tian Xiang to deliver the message, and by then you will know who can truly save your Profound Immortal Realm."

"I want to know, what exactly do you intend for me to do, and what’s in it for me?"

Gu Jinlai said, pausing for a moment: "If the Profound Immortal Realm is truly destroyed, it would indeed be regrettable, but there should still be a bit of time before the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty captures and destroys the Profound Immortal Realm. In this time, while I can’t save the entire Profound Immortal Realm, rescuing the people related to me and some core members of the Profound Immortal Realm is not difficult."

Yuan Sheng smiled slightly after hearing this.

He knew that Gu Jinlai’s remarks were meant to demonstrate that he would not succumb to coercion.

However...

The All World Alliance, despite possibly using some unsavory means, ultimately offers benefits that even Great Dao Golden Immortals cannot refuse.

This is also why the All World Alliance has been able to exist peacefully for several millennia, continuously opposing the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty.

"Of course, since Scholar Gu joins our All World Alliance, naturally, you become one of us. We have never been stingy towards our own!"

Yuan Sheng said, directly, "Our request is the same as last time. We hope Scholar Gu can acquire the most advanced third-generation nuclear reactor technology from the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty for us. If you could get the fourth-generation nuclear reactor technology, it would be even better. I’ve heard that Scholar Gu is currently involved in the fourth-generation nuclear reactor project hosted by Star Lord Tian Xiang."

He added immediately, "As soon as Scholar Gu hands over the most advanced third-generation nuclear reactor technology to us, I will immediately ask the alliance leader to help break the connection between the Profound Immortal Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm. If Scholar Gu can obtain information on the fourth-generation nuclear reactor, we in the All World Alliance are willing to give Scholar Gu a top-grade Immortal Artifact!"

For Gu Jinlai, the third-generation nuclear reactor is not a big deal.

In fact, he can give it now without any risk.

But, handing this information over to the All World Alliance undoubtedly binds him to them, giving them leverage over him. If he wants to extricate himself later, it won’t be so easy.

Nevertheless, he didn’t refuse immediately. After considering it for a moment, he stated his own demands: "Let’s not talk about anything else for now. I need the cultivation techniques and the Refining God Technique to attain the Immortal Golden Immortal level."

"The cultivation techniques and Refining God Technique to reach the Immortal Golden Immortal?"

Yuan Sheng was taken aback.

Mu Wuying beside him was also a bit surprised: "Scholar Gu has just recently stepped into the Great Dao Golden Immortal Realm, right? Cultivating as a Great Dao Golden Immortal is not that simple..."

"You overthink it. I just want to get a method that directly points to the Immortal Golden Immortal level, to avoid the hassle of changing cultivation techniques later."

Gu Jinlai said.

Yuan Sheng and Mu Wuying exchanged glances.

Even though cultivation techniques and the Refining God Technique to reach the Immortal Golden Immortal are extremely expensive, since this is Gu Jinlai’s first request, refusing directly might make subsequent negotiations difficult.

In any case, they need to get Gu Jinlai on their ship first.

Yuan Sheng immediately said, "Alright, but what do you plan to offer?"

"I have quite a bit of information related to the fourth-generation nuclear reactor. I can use this for the exchange."

Gu Jinlai said.

"Related information on the fourth-generation reactor, hmm."

Yuan Sheng thought for a moment, considering that Gu Jinlai still needed the All World Alliance’s power to save the Profound Immortal Realm, and believed he wouldn’t play any tricks. He nodded: "However, we need to verify it first."

Gu Jinlai took out a Jade Scroll and handed it to him.

This information is all technology-related data, which the All World Alliance can obtain through contact with any technological civilization, and in reality, it holds no actual value.

Yuan Sheng took the Jade Scroll and began to view it, frowning within moments.

He himself had received a higher education and had done sufficient research on nuclear reactors, which was one of the reasons he was sent to contact Gu Jinlai.

But the contents recorded in this Jade Scroll...

Were too complex.

These things were simply beyond his short-term comprehension.

However, he could barely ascertain that this was indeed production material related to the Black Hole Reactor.

He nodded at the moment: "It’s possible, but you only have partial information in your hand, so we can only give you the Refining God Skill that can be cultivated to the Immortal Golden Immortal Realm."

"Only the separate Refining God Technique?"

Gu Jinlai’s brows slightly furrowed.

"Although it is the Refining God Technique, it is very suitable for you. I know you previously converted to the Star Map, right? The Star Map is actually derived from the Galaxy Map... And the Galaxy Map is the most widely spread Great Dao Golden Immortal-Level Refining God Technique in the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty."

Yuan Sheng paused slightly: "Because this Refining God Technique originally inherited from one of the Three Emperors, Emperor Xi’s legacy—the Innate Star River Map. The Galaxy Map was simplified from the refining section of this inheritance, and this simplified Galaxy Map only allows cultivation to the equivalent of a Golden Immortal Ninth Rank’s Heavenly Dao Peak. Whether one can comprehend the Tenth Rank Divine Dao depends on personal opportunity. However, our All World Alliance’s Alliance Leader Hao once pursued Emperor Xi’s heritage, refining part of the inheritance to perfect the Galaxy Map, enabling cultivation to the Tenth Rank Divine Dao, and even the Twelfth Rank Peak of Divine Dao."

"Okay."

Gu Jinlai nodded: "We’ll conduct the transaction at this time tomorrow."

"I shall await your esteemed presence, Scholar Gu."

Yuan Sheng knew that Gu Jinlai still needed to confirm the authenticity of the information with Star Lord Tian Xiang, so he smiled slightly.

"Farewell."

Gu Jinlai cupped his hands and quickly departed.

...

Leaving Nature’s House, Gu Jinlai quickly returned to the Energy Academy and immediately contacted Star Lord Tian Xiang.

After entering the project group, he had already gained direct contact privileges with Star Lord Tian Xiang.

And as he contacted Star Lord Tian Xiang, a message from the Star Lord had just arrived.

"Scholar Gu? Your message arrived at the right time. Come to my State Lord Mansion, I have something to discuss with you."

Star Lord Tian Xiang said.

Looking at this message, Gu Jinlai even wondered if the All World Alliance had acted improperly, alerting the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty to something.

Fortunately, when they finally met, the news Star Lord Tian Xiang brought made him realize he had overthought it.

"Do you still remember the incident about the Evil God in your hometown Life Realm a short time ago?"

Star Lord Tian Xiang quickly said: "We reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor at that time, and not long ago, he gave a response."

The Star Lord took a deep breath and said solemnly: "According to the response from His Majesty, we have decided to send the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty to the Space Tunnel, heading towards the New Fire Star Sea, following the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns."

"Hmm?"

Gu Jinlai was taken aback, then quickly realized something: "The Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty plans to drive the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm away from this Star Domain?"

"Yes."

Star Lord Tian Xiang nodded, then continued: "Although compared to the New Fire Star Sea, the Star Domain we are in is much safer, our Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty built this Immortal Xuanhuang Cave Heaven as a barracks, a training ground. After all these years of training, generations of mechanics have flourished. It’s time to head to the battlefield and showcase the results of these years."

Speaking of which, he paused slightly, then smiled wryly: "In recent years, the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty has caused outrage in the surrounding worlds, so... we plan to leave. As for how the surrounding worlds will manage themselves next... whether they will still face attacks from the Evil God... they can only rely on their own fortune."

After listening, Gu Jinlai couldn’t say whether the decision of the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty was right or wrong.

"I came to find you because I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible on whether to migrate your world’s people and leave with us. If you are willing, we can use a special method to open a Realm Gate and connect to your world. With some manpower and resources... it won’t take long to complete the migration of creatures in your world."

Star Lord Tian Xiang said, pausing slightly: "Based on your contributions, I’m willing to grant you one piece of land in Tianxiang State for personnel placement."

The piece of land in Tianxiang State could only accommodate a few billion people.

But this was the best effort Star Lord Tian Xiang could strive for.

After all, compared to the cosmic wonder it once was, the current size of the Immortal Xuanhuang Realm was undoubtedly much smaller.

But this meant that eight or nine-tenths of the Life Realm’s over two hundred billion population would have to be abandoned.

Especially because...

The true purpose of Gu Jinlai dealing with the Evil God wasn’t just to save the Life Realm but also the Blue Star.

Therefore...

"Sorry, Star Lord, I..."

"You don’t need to apologize to me. I understand."

Star Lord Tian Xiang sighed.

Many people would make choices as seemingly unwise as Gu Jinlai’s.

At the moment, he took out a Jade Scroll: "This is the Small World Casting Technique you wanted. I’ll give it to you first. Once you submit the new, improved third-generation reactor model, you may go."
