This was not a fair negotiation. One side had the lifeline of the other side. Lu Li would win no matter how the negotiation went.
The branch master of the Reaper was a ruthless one. He tested the Rhinoceros Ape Race's tolerance. In the end, the Second Patriarch of the Rhinoceros Ape Race almost smashed his head against the wall.
When the negotiation was over, the Rhinoceros Ape Race asked for Lu Li's help. The price was that the resources agreed upon were doubled.
They asked Lu Li to make a statement that he would no longer be an enemy of the Rhinoceros Ape Race.
The statement was of no use. Just like how the Guis Race asked Lu Li to make a statement, it was like a farting.
Of course, the statement could buy the Rhinoceros Ape Race some time so that the outside world could not be sure if the master of the Rhinoceros Ape Race was dead or not.
Lu Li didn't care. The Rhinoceros Ape Race promised to give the territories of the Blood Roc Race, Dull Blade Race and the Talisman Race to Lu Li. The Ruins of Divinity would be safe.
The Rhinoceros Ape Race had no time to worry about the affiliated universes. Also, Lu Li had extorted a large amount of resources, hundreds of times more than what he got from the Guis Race.
When he got the list of resources, Lu Li regretted that he had extorted too little from the Guis Race.
He didn't know that the super races were so rich.
If the resources were only for Lu Li's cultivation, he could squander them for ten thousand years without worrying about the shortage of resources. Lu Li wished he could go to the Tiangang Galaxy again and fight with the Guis Race.
A month later, the first batch of resources arrived. It was half of what was agreed upon. Lu Li kept his promise and asked the branch master of the Reaper to make an announcement.
The announcement stated that the misunderstanding between him and the master of the Rhinoceros Ape Race had been resolved. They shook hands and buried the hatchet. From now on, they would live in peace and build a better future together …
As soon as the announcement came out, the Tiangang Galaxy was in an uproar.
Many major races had their attention on Lu Li, waiting for a good show. Who knew that the two sides would stop fighting?
Also, Lu Li made an announcement. It seemed … he was taught a lesson by the master of the Rhinoceros Ape Race?
Did he admit defeat?
It had been decades since the master of the Rhinoceros Ape Race came out. Now, his name was known throughout the Tiangang Galaxy.
The major races that had looked down on the Rhinoceros Ape Race no longer dared to do so.
The nearby Meng Tribe members trembled in fear. Originally, there were more than a dozen large tribes preparing to attack them. If the Rhino Ape Tribe joined in, the consequences would be even more serious.
The Rhinoceros Ape Race wanted this kind of effect. They wanted to continue stabilizing for a period of time, even if it was a hundred years.
They were very unwilling to retreat back to their ancestral land and give up so much territory.
After Lu Li's matter was dealt with, Chief Patriarch and Second Patriarch were ready to cultivate to reach the consummate level.
This time, they were extorted by Lu Li. But for a super overlord that dominated an area of the Universe Region and occupied so many territories, the resources were affordable.
It wasn't as exaggerated as Second Elder made it out to be, but it was still enough to extort half of the Rhino Ape Tribe's stockpile.
As long as they could keep their territory, resources did not matter. They could just tighten their belts and grit their teeth during this period of time.
If they lost their territory, they wouldn't have any resources in the future. It would be very difficult for the Rhino Ape Tribe to rise again.
Lu Li wasn't in a hurry to go back. He was waiting for the second batch of resources to arrive. All the resources would be delivered in three installments and the second batch would arrive in three months.
The time for the third batch was longer, 10 years later. The Rhinoceros Ape Race was afraid that Lu Li would go back on his words so they were delaying it on purpose.
This didn't matter. As long as the Rhino Ape Race wasn't destroyed, would they dare to not give these resources?
In 10 years, Lu Li could come back and kill them again.
Three months later, Lu Li left the Universe Region with the resources and took a battleship back to the Chaotic Star Region.
The two galaxies were next to each other but they were still far apart. It took Lu Li more than half a year to get back to the Chaotic Star Region.
As soon as Lu Li came back, the God of Death issued an announcement. After repeated discussions with the leaders at the headquarters of the God of Death, they invited Lu Li to join the God of Death and become a leader.
As soon as the announcement came out, many races in the Chaotic Star Region snorted. Was the God of Death treating them like fools?
But they approved of Lu Li's character.
At the critical moment, he shouldered the pressure alone so that the God of Death wouldn't be involved.
Many races despised the other leaders of the God of Death, believing that they were irresponsible.
When they needed Lu Li, he was the boss. When they didn't need Lu Li, they would draw a line with him …
As for what Lu Li did at the Universe Region and the announcement, many warriors of the Chaotic Star Region took it as a joke.
Many warriors of the Chaotic Star Region took it as a joke as well. Lu Li must have benefited greatly or else he would not have made such a public announcement, given his character.
In other words, Lu Li alone had subdued the Rhino Ape Race and extorted a lot of benefits from them. In the end, he showed some respect to the Rhino Ape Race and in return, he had gained a lot.
Therefore, even though Lu Li had made an announcement, none of the major races dared to belittle him.
Half a month after Lu Li came back, the Gang Race and the other races sent over messengers to congratulate Lu Li on his victory.
They brought many gifts as well. Clearly, they were trying to please Lu Li and strengthen their relationship.
The underlying meaning was clear as well. They were allies. Lu Li, don't do anything rash …
After decades of development, the God of Death had become particularly powerful.
There were more than a dozen warriors that were infinitely close to the absolute completion. Now, in terms of the number, the God of Death was among the top three in the Chaotic Star Region.
It was a pity that the God of Death had not reached the absolute completion. That being said, in the eyes of many major races, Lu Li was even more terrifying than the absolute completion.
The God of Death had been holding banquets for a month. The nine leaders of the God of Death were more friendly to Lu Li. Even Emperor Li had expressed on many occasions that he would follow Lu Li's lead.
Lu Li had done well in this regard. He was humble, low-key, and respectful to Emperor Li.
As a matter of fact, Lu Li had become the boss of the God of Death.
Lu Li didn't regard himself as the boss. He was respectful to the other nine leaders. In this way, the other nine leaders felt comfortable and they were friendlier to Lu Li.
Lu Li was not interested in being the boss and he didn't want to be in charge.
He liked the current situation where everyone huddled together for warmth.
The Lu Alliance was developing fast. His family and descendants were living a comfortable life. The entire Lu Family was thriving.
For Lu Li, this was the ideal situation.
The Lu Alliance was not the only one growing. The middle realm was growing as well.
Over the years, some powerful warriors had returned to the middle realm to enhance the overall strength there.
Lu Alliance was free to come and go. He could go back to the middle realm at any time as long as he didn't mess around there.
Every year, the Lu Alliance would send many resources back to the middle realm. Under the management of Saint Xiaoyao, there was almost no major war.
The resources were integrated to cultivate batches of powerful warriors.
Everything was going well. Lu Li was just waiting for Little White to reach the absolute completion.
If nothing major happened on Little White's side, then Lu Li planned to spend the rest of his life in the Tianyue City. He would be accompanied by his family and loved ones. If he could have some children, then everything would be perfect.
