Chapter 316 315. The Soul Master Exchange Competition between the Two Worlds!

The nobles were just greedy.

Not stupid or foolish.

They were well aware of the power of civilian soul masters, and also knew clearly what was valuable, what should be held on to, and what changes should be made. Therefore, after the most important contents were determined, the rest of the time was spent on arguing over unimportant details.

For example, determine the specific time and place of this Soul Master Competition.

For example, determine how much benefit each empire should give.

Seventy percent of the entire continent.

And each of them contributed 70 percent.

They are two completely different concepts.

Assuming that the total amount of property of the Tianhun Empire is three thousand, the total amount of property of the Douling Empire is three thousand, the total amount of property owned by the Xingluo Empire is three thousand, and the total amount of property owned by Shrek Academy is one thousand, the total is exactly ten thousand. Seventy percent means seven thousand, and each only needs to contribute seventy percent. Twenty-one plus two thousand one plus two thousand one plus seven hundred is exactly equal to seven thousand. But in reality, this way of calculation is completely wrong.

First of all, there is no way Shrek Academy would pay for it!
Even though Moon, the divine examiner, had secured negotiation opportunities for all parties in the Dou II world, and even though Moon, the divine examiner, possessed powerful strength, and even though Moon was the only remaining pillar of the Dou II world, no one dared to ask Shrek Academy to pay!
Whether Shrek Academy pays or not is entirely voluntary!

It can even be said that even if Shrek Academy paid, the three empires, many sects, and many academies would have to grit their teeth and politely decline the request!
They were afraid that this was Moon's test of them!
Afraid that Moon wouldn’t stand on their side!

Because compared to them who had no choice, Moon had many choices. Even if he remained neutral, it would be a disaster for their forces. Without Moon and Shrek Academy, no one dared to say that they could resist the Spirit Hall!

Well, if Shrek Academy doesn't pay, the theoretical 700 will have to be handed over to other forces, and they will have to share the cost or bear it alone. Of these two possibilities, the possibility of sharing the cost equally is the smallest, because the external contradiction has been transformed into an internal contradiction!
The Xing Luo Empire thought that since the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire were so rich, it was only natural that they should have a little more resources. We in the Xing Luo Empire didn't spread the money we needed to pay onto you, which was already giving you face. You'd better be sensible.

The Tianhun Empire was thinking that the Douling Empire had just had two Super Douluos killed by Ye Qingcang, and it was obvious that Ye Qingcang had been offended. It was reasonable for them to take advantage of the situation and make the 700 yuan that Shrek Academy did not pay be borne by the Douling Empire.

The Douluo Empire was not happy about this. They just endured the fact that Shrek Academy didn't pay. They were a big shot and we, like you, were counting on them to take the lead in resisting the Spirit Hall. It was indeed hard to offend them, but even if it was hard to offend, at worst the three of us could share the cost equally. Two of you could pay two hundred each and I'd pay three hundred. I know I'm at a disadvantage, but I've done my best by paying one hundred more than you. You can't push all the seven hundred yuan onto me. That's bullying. Who can tolerate this?

You know, it doesn’t matter whether it’s three thousand or seven hundred.

This is all an imaginary number.

If I have to say it, maybe adding a mine at the end would make it seem more appropriate.

That is seven hundred resource mines.

These seven hundred resource mines are enough to empty an entire kingdom.

I don’t know how to get three thousand resource mines.

Suddenly, there was the burden of seven hundred additional resource mines.

If this shit is signed, the person who signs it will 100% be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, bearing the infamy and scorn of losing sovereignty and humiliating the country.

Even the entire mission was not spared.

This is different from the previous gambling agreement. The previous gambling agreement was an agreement that each side would contribute 70% of the resources. Because the Spirit Hall also contributed, it was at most a bigger deal and had nothing to do with losing sovereignty and humiliating the country. To put it bluntly, both sides were taking risks. This is called competition. Moreover, before the end of the Soul Master Competition, these resources were still in the hands of their respective worlds and had not been exchanged. The resources would not be exchanged until after the Soul Master Competition. In history, this was actually a normal gambling agreement. It had nothing to do with losing sovereignty and humiliating the country. Whether it was eating meat or drinking soup, the pressure was put on all soul masters and had nothing to do with the negotiating delegation.

However, if the Xingluo Empire pays 3,000 yuan, the Tianhun Empire pays 3,000 yuan, Shrek Academy pays nothing, and the Douling Empire pays 3,700 yuan, public opinion in the Douling Empire will definitely explode, to the point where even the mother cannot be saved. The domestic security will also be greatly impacted, and the prestige of the royal family will also be shaken.

Ordinary people don’t care how much Shrek Academy pays.

The dominance of Shrek Academy is certainly hateful.

But the weakness of the Douling Envoys is more hateful than the strength of Shrek Academy.

Therefore, the Douling Empire naturally would not do that.

Naturally, quarrels broke out.

In addition, the above chaotic perspective is only limited to the level of the three major empires. If you look down, you will find that the disorder under the three major empires is even more serious.

The chaos in the Tianhun Empire is the most serious.

The various great nobles.

Various advanced soul master academies.

There is also the behemoth that is the Body Sect.

Three thousand yuan is definitely not something that the Tianhun Royal Family can afford alone. The Tianhun Royal Family is also aware of this. Even if they empty their family assets, they cannot gather these resources. For this reason, spreading the funds evenly becomes the only solution.

Each of the nobles contributed five hundred.

Each high-level soul master academy will provide 500.

The body sect has produced one thousand.

The Tianhun royal family contributed one thousand.

If you put it together, it will come out.

Then, the Body Sect became unhappy. You, the Tianhun Royal Family, are willing to take one thousand, and we, the Body Sect, have no objection. But, why should we, the Body Sect, take one thousand, while the nobles and various advanced soul master academies only take five hundred? Does that mean our Body Sect was raised by a stepmother?

Or is it that our Benti Sect has the smallest strength and deserves to be bullied by you guys?
Isn’t it just overturning the table for negotiation?
Who is afraid of whom?
I, from the Benti Sect, won’t give out a single copy!
Eight Titled Douluo, tens of thousands of disciples, and the national religion!

If you don’t agree, come over and challenge me!
If I am weaker than you and you force me to cut off more flesh, it would be fine. But my strength is obviously stronger than yours, and you still want me to cut off more flesh, the worst that can happen is that I will reshuffle the cards and kill all of you, confiscate your property and exterminate your clan, and then use your resources to fill this hole. No one can suffer in the Tianhun Empire, but our Benti Sect will not suffer. We have the big fists and we speak with such toughness!

But those nobles are not vegetarians either.

There are also various advanced soul master academies.

These nobles couldn't afford to offend the Body Sect, so they turned their attention to the major advanced soul master academies. Although the cutting-edge combat power of the major advanced soul master academies was not good, it was only weaker than that of the Body Sect. Relying on the excessive base, they were not inferior to these nobles at all.

The Tianhun royal family can only mediate.

It means you guys stop fighting.

Peace is the most precious thing, and we need to be united now. Then, the pressure was put back on them. The Tianhun Royal Family could only rely on their relationship with the Body Sect, asking the Body Sect to make concessions on this matter, give them some face, and at least take the lead and set an example. We, the Tianhun Royal Family, will never treat you, the Body Sect, unfairly in the future.

The ontology sect believes that the eagle will not be released until the rabbit is seen.

Don't talk so much.

No one can predict what will happen in the future.

Either you replenish the resources to us immediately afterwards, and we will use the resources you give us to set an example for you, or we will just stay in the deadlock and at worst we will just act on our own.

To put it bluntly: if our Benti Sect goes to the Douling Empire, it will be your Tianhun Empire that pays the 3,700 yuan. We believe that the Douling Empire will definitely be willing to accept our condition of not paying a penny, and by the way, push the 700 yuan debt to the Tianhun Empire, further increasing the burden on your Tianhun Empire.

The struggle at the bottom of the Xingluo Empire, although monotonous, is more risky.

The Tianhun Royal Family did not overturn the table because there were too many involvements in various aspects. The Tianhun Royal Family did not have the courage and determination to tear everything down and start over again. The Xingluo Royal Family did not overturn the table purely because the nobles below held military power. Although the Xingluo Royal Family had the courage and determination to tear everything down and start over again, it lacked strength.

Especially the White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.

I don’t know what happened.

He actually sat together with the Titled Douluo from Shrek Academy.

Even if he graduated from Shrek Academy, successive White Tiger Dukes did not study at Xingluo Royal Academy, but sent their heirs to Shrek Academy. The drama of brothers killing each other gradually disappeared after the Dai family slipped from the Xingluo Royal Family to the White Tiger Dukedom. The same is true for the Zhu family's sisters killing each other. If the Zhu family of this generation had not only one legitimate daughter, who was given by Dai Yueheng to his younger brother Dai Huabin, Dai Yueheng should have had a fiancée. As for concubine daughters, although the Zhu family had one, it would be a pure humiliation if she married Dai Yueheng. Therefore, the relationship between the Dai family and Shrek Academy has always been very good. The Xingluo Royal Family, backed by the Xingguan Sect, did not dare to attack the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. They were worried about this aspect, fearing that Shrek Academy would intervene. But even so, what kind of occasion is this now?

The Duke of the Xing Luo Empire does not sit in the same camp as the royal family.

Instead, he ran to the mountain where he could rely on.

Moreover, this backer is quite powerful.

With a divine examiner in charge.

It is much more powerful than the Xingluo royal family.

What does it mean?
This in itself explains a lot!
The problem is that the Xingluo royal family is currently in a state of being neither human nor human. If they don't take action, the result will be that people's hearts are floating, and the other nobles will secretly take sides. The temptation of following the dragon is the best under any circumstances. The Dai family has embraced the thickest thigh that is known to be embraced, because although Ye Qingcang and Bibi Dong are thighs, they cannot be embraced. If they embrace them, they will easily be regarded as traitors. Moon is a thigh that can be embraced, but it is also true that Moon and Shrek Academy look down on them. Because of this, which side to stand on does not seem to be a multiple-choice question that needs to be thought about. The silence of the Xingluo royal family is equivalent to indulgence, which is equivalent to chronic death. However, if they flare up, the contradiction will undoubtedly be made public. At this juncture, it is estimated that the pressure of 3,700 yuan will fall on the Xingluo Empire, which will undoubtedly make the situation worse.

Home and everything are prosperous.

If you are not united, others will naturally come to bully you.

As for whether you are united or not.

Is it pretended unity or real unity?

None of it matters.

It looks united, that's all.

If the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire really put pressure on him, even if it was just a pretended unity, as long as the situation reached that point, even if White Tiger Duke Dai Hao was not happy, he would have to compromise for the sake of the overall situation and stand on the same side as the Xingluo Empire to counter the pressure from the other two empires. Because if he chose not to cooperate, the people of the Xingluo Empire would have a great aversion to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion under the propaganda of the Xingluo Royal Family, and the other nobles would give up their support for White Tiger Duke Dai Hao and the Dai family because their interests were damaged, the money they paid would increase, and the amount they would share would also increase.

So, some things are really a double-edged sword.

When faced with tests involving interests.

Everyone began to consider their own interests.

In this situation, except for those allies with particularly close relationships, such as the Zhu and Dai families, who have maintained a marriage relationship for more than ten thousand years, even if the Dai family asks the Zhu family to cut flesh, the Zhu family dares to cut itself, and vice versa. The rest of the alliance relationships are not worth mentioning and will deteriorate into variables in the face of sufficient interests.

"This is politics, plain and simple."

"When you have the power to overthrow everything."

“Politics is simple.”

"When you don't have the power to overthrow everything."

“Politics is dirty.”

“Simple, it’s simple because everyone’s needs are quite pure.”

"It's dirty. It's dirty because everyone calculates others for their own needs, and hypocritically cooperates with others who want to calculate others, including themselves. Before their own needs are met, they hold others back and prevent them from leaving. After their own needs are met, they will go to great lengths to kick away the person who is holding them back."

“Complicated, but not that complicated.”

“Everyone is a hunter with a gun.”

"Everyone is also prey with a gun."

After four hours of discussion, the meeting was temporarily ended. The remaining details would be left to the local forces of the Douluo Dalu World to discuss tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. People from the Spirit Hall and others did not have to participate. So, at Moon's suggestion, the Spirit Hall group, including Ye Qingcang, who withdrew, were able to walk out of the Poseidon Pavilion and block out the fly-like arguments.

Ye Qingcang also stretched.

He said this to Jiang Nannan and Sheng Caier with a smile.

Sheng Caier didn't know much about this.

Not interested in knowing either.

He nodded, but judging from his expression, he still didn't seem to understand. He probably nodded out of consideration for Ye Qingcang's emotions, fearing that Ye Qingcang would feel embarrassed because no one talked to him.

Jiang Nannan has some talent for this.

He rubbed his temple and sighed: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let Yuhao get in touch with that Princess Xingluo... With Yuhao's intelligence, I feel that he will be easily deceived by that Princess Xingluo..."

“No.” Ye Qingcang said, raising his hand and tapping Jiang Nannan’s smooth forehead, implying something: “Xu Jiujiu is a smart person. She must have studied the honey trap thoroughly. The real honey trap is never about exploitation, but about sincerity. It is the most authentic honey trap to exchange hearts for hearts. It is also the way for a smart person like her to maximize her own advantages... Taking advantage of others is a bad idea.”
