The Ghost Emperor, feeling somewhat displeased, scolded, "Demon Emperor, are you negotiating with me? Even if I kill you, I can still find out whatever little things are in your brain."
For an evil Soul Master, extracting someone's soul was no difficult matter!
Especially for a God Rank powerhouse like himself, it was a piece of cake!
However, the Demon Emperor showed no sign of panic, his expression calm as he said, "Is that so? Then you can try. Although I can't beat you, I can still ensure that the knowledge in my brain disappears completely!"
This guy seems to have forgotten one thing, he is not human!
Seeing that the other party's attitude showed no signs of change, the Ghost Emperor began to hesitate…
He didn't entirely understand the former's abilities!
Perhaps it was indeed true!
At that thought, he couldn't help but sneer with extreme irritation...
"Demon Emperor, it seems you are quite confident. I just wonder if you're merely pretending to be calm," he said.
The Demon Emperor pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, "Why not give it a try, Ghost Emperor? But let me remind you, those pieces of information are related to your attainment of godhood!"
The Ghost Emperor's pupils suddenly constricted as he exclaimed, "Attainment of godhood? Do you know how to achieve it??"
Seeing his reaction, the Demon Emperor knew that the other party had taken the bait...
"Heh, of course. Did you think I've lived for so many years without any secrets?"
"If soul beasts could attain godhood, perhaps breaking through to God Rank wouldn't even be your turn!"
The Ghost Emperor was rarely silent…
He couldn't tell if what the other party said was true or false!
After all, the other was a soul beast, having lived hundreds or even thousands of times longer than himself. It wasn't impossible that he had inadvertently discovered the method to attain godhood!!
Of course, the most important thing was that without godhood, he would be forever trapped in the Lower Realm, unable to advance his strength any further!
At any moment, the Divine Realm might send a God to eradicate him!
Then, he would be utterly powerless to resist!
Finally, after much consideration, he relented, "Fine, I agree to your terms. How shall we cooperate?"
Slapping his chest, the Demon Emperor said, "First, you need to remove your control over me!"
Otherwise, the other party would have a rough idea of what he was thinking, which was no good thing at all!
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Emperor nearly refused the condition without a second thought, "Impossible!"
If he removed his control over the other, it would be like releasing the tiger back into the mountain!
The Demon Emperor did not expect such a decisive response and frowned, "What? Are you scared?"
This guy really wasn't going to be easy to persuade!
The Ghost Emperor, however, disdained such a suggestion, "Scared? Ridiculous. Crushing you is easier than you'd think!"
The Demon Emperor pressed again, "If that's the case, why won't you agree??"
The other party closed his eyes and said noncommittally, "No reason. This is the one thing I simply cannot agree to!"
The Demon Emperor felt a surge of frustration and stood up, "If that's how it is, then there is no possibility of cooperation!"
Having said that, he turned to leave…
"Stop right there!"
A terrifying Divine Power aura erupted instantly…
The Demon Emperor felt as if he was being stared down by a Primordial Behemoth, and if he took even one more step, he would have nowhere to bury his corpse!!
What followed was a cold statement from the Ghost Emperor…
"Unless you can provide some convincing information, cooperation is off the table, and you will die!"
The Demon Emperor, with his back turned, felt cold sweat break out on his forehead…
This guy was indeed a tough nut to crack!
Without agreeing, he had no doubts that the other party would attack immediately!!
With that thought, he sighed, "Fine, it doesn't hurt to tell you first."
Thus, she simply elaborated on the method she knew for obtaining godhood...
Of course, not missing a single important piece of information!
After all, if she revealed everything, then she would lose all her value completely!
The expression on the Ghost Emperor's face was extremely solemn, clearly digesting this news...
"Is everything you've said true?"
However, the Demon Emperor did not give a definitive reply, "Whether it's true or not, you can certainly go and verify it for yourself, but I don't think that's necessary!"
"Deceiving you now wouldn't benefit me."
The Ghost Emperor took a deep breath...
"Fine, I agree to cooperate with you, and lifting the control over you is not a problem!"
Although he didn't want to admit it, what this fellow said was indeed true!
There were even some things he had never even heard of before!
Perhaps, with her help, he really could achieve godhood!
By then, even the Divine Realm probably wouldn't dare to act against him!
Having achieved his goal, the Demon Emperor felt somewhat relieved...
"Ghost Emperor, you had better not deceive me, I can still sense if the control has been removed!"
Life was most assured when it was in one's own hands!
The Ghost Emperor waved his hand dismissively, "I'm not so low as to do such a thing, even if the control is lifted, killing you would still be effortless!"
"Alright then, tell me, how do you plan to cooperate with me?"
The Demon Emperor was not one to be trifled with; he must be approached cautiously!
Otherwise, who knows if he might stab you in the back!!

Tang Sect!
Liang Xiaoyu looked ahead at Zang Xin and began to speak, "Sect Master Zang, according to what our disciples have found out recently, it seems that both the Federation and Spirit Pagoda have sent people to the Divine War Ruins!"
"Furthermore, some of them are research personnel from both sides!"
Upon hearing this, Zang Xin propped up his chin, pondering, "The Federation and Spirit Pagoda have both sent research personnel? That's a bit strange. Could it be that there's something worth noting there, something that's causing both sides to compete for that region?"
Liang Xiaoyu replied firmly, "Sect Leader, we have scouted the area, it's just a plain wasteland with no value for utilization."
The former countered, "Impossible, there must be something we have not discovered!"
"Otherwise, are the Federation and Spirit Pagoda just idly sending their precious research personnel there?"
He didn't believe that the people from these two powers were that foolish!
Liang Xiaoyu had no response, so he pressed, "What do you mean??"
Zang Xin took a deep breath and then expressed his view...
"If there are no underground resources there, then perhaps some significant items were left behind after the Divine War!"
"Moreover, they are things that both the Federation and Spirit Pagoda are eager to compete for!!"
Liang Xiaoyu agreed that made some sense and suggested, "Then Sect Leader, should we Tang Sect also send someone there?"
"That region is under the jurisdiction of Shrek Academy; surely such a request would not be rejected!"
Zang Xin didn't respond directly but asked, "Has Shrek Academy made any moves regarding this?"
Liang Xiaoyu hesitated, "There hasn't been much activity from Shrek Academy; it seems they have tacitly permitted the people from Spirit Pagoda and the Federation to enter."
Zang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Since Shrek Academy has agreed to this, then there is no need for us to intervene."
If there truly were any precious resources, surely they would inform Tang Sect!
