1053 Negotiations

"I don't have a problem lending you the merit," nodded Wang Wei after pondering for a moment. "However, I don't want merit with interest."

After hearing these words, Huo Fenghuang immediately became on guard. Suddenly, she felt she was making a deal with the devil, and such deals were never worth it.

"What do you want then?"

"I want to borrow your Ancient Clan's Qi Luck Condensing Artifact for the duration of my reign," directly stated Wang Wei, and Huo Fenghuang wanted to reject this idea immediately. But she controlled her urges and thought about the trade for a few minutes.

"It's not impossible to let you borrow it if it's only for this generation," said Huo Fenghuang. "However, the small amount of merit I will borrow is not enough for a deal of such a caliber." She had already amassed a large quantity of merit but was short. The early stages of the expansion are over, so gathering merit is no longer as fast and efficient as it used to be. Nevertheless, they were still gathering merit, just at a turtle crawling space compared to before.

Huo Fenghuang will gather the merit needed for the transition as long as she waits. After seeing Ao Shen's success, she only asked for a loan because of her competitive nature.

"That's a fair point. What do you think is a fair exchange?"

"Let me think. Besides the merit I need, I want a few World Communities for the Ancient Clan when the court further expands," said Huo Fenghuang. "Additionally, I want the position of Regent for ten generations."

Wang Wei shook his head.

"Do you feel it's not worth it?" asked Huo Fenghuang. "I know you've been trying to gather the Qi Luck Artifact of the world that has contributed to the cultivation of civilization. I can tell you all the others cannot compare to our Ancient Clan-including the Dao Opening Sect."

She was not boasting, as their clan contained the unique blessing of all the others: Daofather Qi Luck, Alchemy Ancestor Qi Luck, Talisman Ancestor, Array Ancestor, and Weapon Ancestor. Their clan's Qi Luck is not as potent as the others because they are from an old Era Cycle, but it's still significant since these destinies have been blessed for the fact they were the first. And that's not to mention the countless other types of Qi Lucks fused in the mix.

As such, the price she asked for was more than worth it.

"Let me explain a misunderstanding you might have," countered Wang Wei. "The expansion will not be a conquest where we take over other world communities, including establishing a court and taking over God Positions."

"It's not?" Many people assumed that was the next step and prepared for the upcoming World/Planar War.

"I will use a less aggressive approach," replied Wang Wei. "Our expansion will be the Mortal Civilizations, Dream World, and Enlightening Temple."

Overaggression and conquering will be detrimental to the longevity of his era. So, he will use a more peaceful approach. Of course, Wang Wei also knows his method will also garner him a lot of enemies. These worlds will not be kind to foreigners for changing or influencing their history, and Wang Wei is prepared to use any means necessary to spread these things and gather merit. He's also prepared for the consequences.

Huo Fenghuang frowned after hearing this news.

"I know what you're thinking," continued Wang Wei. "This time around, 95% of the merit for the mortal civilizations will go to you, and I will only take 5%."

"That will indeed make up for the Divine Positions and other benefits," nodded Huo Fenghuang, who also felt extremely jealous thinking about the benefit for everything else that Wang Wei and the Dao Opening Sect will receive.

"Are we allowed to establish our own court in other World Communities?" asked Huo Fenghuang

"Yes, but you must reduce your power in this court, just like the Great Talisman City."

"No, that's too little," countered Huo Fenghuang. "A Regent Position with probably powerful Emperors who failed is dangerous and not conducive to business." _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}
