Chapter 545 - 545 The Promise
If it was just a guess before, it was now confirmed that the mysterious existence had created cana. Otherwise, if humans were to slowly evolve, it would probably take tens of thousands of years for them to become amphibian.
Was it by a god?
The gods of the wilderness world did not have the power to accelerate the evolution of their race!
Then what was it, a scientist? Arcanist? A genetic mutant? Or was a being that believed in apotheosis?
Lin Xuan had no idea either, but that was not important, at least not at the moment. He did not need to spend more effort investigating the mysterious existence in the western ocean region. All he had to do was wait for Mother Earth’s reply.
There was a smile on Lin Xuan’s lips. He had shifted Mother Earth’s focus from the land to the western ocean, and changed its target from humans to cana. For a long time after that, Mother Earth would not have enough time to manage the southern barbaric region and the central divine region. When that time comes, the remaining ancient gods would not be a match for Lin Xuan at all.
With a wave of his hand, he kept all the resources on the ground into his personal space, then obtained the map of the mineral veins that she had mentioned before. Apart from that, Lin Xuan looked into the distance with a smile.
“The situation is clear now. Do you want to retreat with your men?”
Mother Earth’s expression was ugly. The number of experts in Xia Dynasty was beyond her expectations, especially the divine expert who was in charge of the covenant of all living things. Even she could not help but tremble when she felt the scorching aura from Qin Fen.
However, it would be a great loss if she gave up on attacking the covenant of gods now. She got too excited just now and threw out all her trump cards. She even gave Lin Xuan her collection and the map of the mineral veins, but she forgot that she still had something that Lin Xuan really wanted.
That was to retreat, to withdraw from the covenant of gods, to withdraw from the eastern barren!
No matter how much the powerhouses restrained themselves and kept their distance from the covenant of gods, the huge commotion caused by their battle was definitely not a small commotion for the covenant of gods. It could even be quite noisy, and there was no small danger.
The battle between Lin Xuan and Mother Earth was 30 miles away from the covenant of gods, but the shockwaves from their battle could easily affect the area if they fought.
If both sides were not concerned about the humans in the city, the humans in the covenant of gods would have been killed by the shockwaves from the battle.
Even now, under the circumstances where both sides were restraining themselves, there were still cases of people getting injured because of the collapse of houses. Fortunately, the experts of Xia Dynasty were organizing people to evacuate, and the Bright Phoenix was keeping an eye on them. Even if something happened, they could rescue them in time. Thus, there were only injuries and no deaths.
Before this, Lin Xuan and Mother Earth had hoped that one of the two parties would withdraw early. That way, there would be no casualties.
It was obvious that Lin Xuan had won. The experts of the southern alliance were being held back by the experts of Xia Dynasty. Meanwhile, the warriors of Xia Dynasty had begun to organize the evacuation process in the covenant of gods. The plan was going smoothly, but it still needed time.
“Can you guys retreat?”
That was what Lin Xuan asked. After all, even Mother Earth could tell that the southern alliance was guaranteed to not lose, but it was still impossible for them to win or gain anything from the battle.
The big picture was lost!
“Of course… I can’t!”
Mother Earth laughed sinisterly. She turned to look at Lin Xuan. of course “I won’t launch a full-scale attack, but if I crush one-tenth of them, you won’t attack me, right?”
One-tenth of the remaining people… That was almost Lin Xuan’s bottom line. He could not help but close his eyes and wait for Mother Earth to extort him.
“What do you want?”
Lin Xuan said helplessly. Mother Earth had asked him that question before, and now it was his turn to ask Mother Earth.
“It should depend on what you have that I can use.”
Mother Earth laughed heartily. It was obvious that she was very happy with the change of power. She had finally won back a city.
“How about this, you can take all the canas down there!”
Lin Xuan looked at his personal space and could not help but scratch his head in distress. There were not many things in his personal space, and there were not many precious items. Firstly, he had just broken through to earth-rank and did not have enough time to accumulate the minerals he needed. Secondly, the most precious thing he had obtained during this period of time was the good stuff he got from Mother Earth. However, he was not embarrassed to exchange it back when others traded it for him as a commodity.
He knew that Mother Earth was fond of the cana race, and Xia Dynasty had captured a large number of canas in the covenant of gods. It was worth it to use these cana as goods in exchange for the retreat of the southern alliance.
“All of them?”
Mother Earth turned her gaze back to the covenant of gods. There were quite a few canas that emerged from the overflowing river, but not too many. She thought for a moment and finally nodded. “I can agree to your request, but I want all of the canas, including that god-level cana!”
“Of course!”
Lin Xuan replied with a chuckle, and the two of them did not continue to chat. Instead, they stood where they were and continued to watch the scene unfold. Compared to the people in the game, Lin Xuan now preferred to sit outside the game and watch the clouds move.
After an unknown period of time, no other canas continued to come out of the river. Lin Xuan turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already in the great river that crossed the eastern barren territory.
He released his powerful aura and searched for any abnormal situations. Needless to say, he really did capture one or two canas that were about to escape. He then sealed them together and threw them into the covenant of the gods, waiting for Mother Earth to collect them.
Business was all about integrity, and if he said everything, he meant everything.
As for the migration of the people in the covenant of gods, it would take time, and this kind of thing could not be rushed.
The battle gradually subsided. This was the decision made by the leaders of both forces, and the others could only accept it no matter how unsatisfied they were.
However, although the battle had subsided, there was still a sense of tension, and another war could break out at any time.
The peace treaty was signed by the Xia Dynasty and the southern alliance outside the city of the covenant of gods in the center of the eastern barren territory.
The signing of this agreement meant that the eastern barren would become the territory of the Xia Dynasty!
