The territory of the Gang Race was a juicy piece of meat. If Lu Li insisted, should they give it up or not?
As long as Lu Li didn't want the territory of the Gang Race, everything else was negotiable.
Two thousand universes were nothing.
The Gang Race and the Tong Race had at least seven or eight thousand universes in total. Lu Li wouldn't mind giving two thousand universes.
To the north of the territory of the God of Death was the territory of a weaker dominator. The Gang Race could give them three thousand universes from the Tuan Race and the dominator wouldn't say anything.
There were rich and poor universes. The Tuan Race could give some barren universes …
Now that Lu Li's side was settled, the rest was easy.
After a day or two of negotiations, the territory was settled.
The Tuan Race occupied the territory of the Gang Race. Of course, the Tuan Race made concessions by giving up most of their territories.
The territory of the Tong Race was taken by the Temple of Apotheosis. Similarly, the Temple of Apotheosis gave up most of their territories to the other dominator forces.
Now that the land had been settled, there was one more important thing to deal with. This was something that all the dominant forces were very concerned about. The Chaotic Starfield really could not afford to have another war, especially between the dominant forces. This time, the Chaotic Starfield's vitality had been damaged.
The 10 dominators discussed for several days and drafted another agreement. Within a thousand years, the 10 of them could not start a war with each other. If any force started a war, the other nine forces would join hands to destroy it.
No reason, no matter. If there was a problem, the Hall of Adjudication would vote. To start a war would be a breach of contract. The other nine forces would not care about anything and would just destroy the dominator.
This agreement was written very clearly. It was a huge deterrent to all the major forces. The ten dominators also knew that they couldn't afford any more internal strife. The Chaotic Starfield had to recuperate and recover. Otherwise, if the nest was overturned, there would be no eggs left intact. Everyone would be finished.
There was another problem!
The 10 dominators had 10 votes. What if it was five to five?
In the end, Grand Master of the Temple of Apotheosis suggested that Lu Li was the leader.
The alliance would continue to exist and Lu Li would continue to be the leader.
Then, Lu Li would have one vote. So, there would be 11 …
The proposal made some of the dominator forces uneasy. Lu Li was strong. Could he develop a real leader at this rate?
By then, the God of Death might become the second Tuan Race.
To the surprise of some of the higher-ups, the Tuan Tribe also agreed to this proposal.
Since the two strongest forces had agreed, what else could the other forces say?
The Temple of Seal's suggestion made sense. The Grim Reaper had not reached the consummate level, so the possibility of it becoming the number one overlord was almost zero. They had a deep understanding of Lu Li's personality. He was indeed the kind of person who would not offend others if they did not offend him.
Lu Li was still a figurehead and didn't have much real power.
Everyone had signed an agreement not to start a war within a thousand years. Since there was no war, it was not a big deal.
What was the use of the Judiciary Hall if there were no major events?
What would it matter to give Lu Li some false reputation if he were to be judged on trivial matters?
The other most important reason was the same as before – to use Lu Li as a shield!
The Heavenly Chaotic Star Territory was in a weakened state.
If the powerful races from other galaxies had evil intentions and wanted to attack the Chaotic Star Region, Lu Li, as the leader of the alliance, would take the lead.
Outside forces would want to kill Lu Li first. Lu Li had some fame in the eight galaxies and he could intimidate the other seven.
Lu Li was the leader of the alliance. Once something like this happened, how could Lu Li, the leader of the alliance, stand by and do nothing?
By then, Lu Li's skills in stealth and assassination would come in handy. Also, Lu Li's background as the Master of the Eastern Region would be helpful as well.
Giving Lu Li a false reputation and some false power could push him to the teeth of the storm.
The Temple of Seal and the Tuan Race would gain tangible benefits. They were not idiots. Naturally, they would be happy to do it.
Emperor Li and Emperor Mo were happy as well. Emperor Li, in particular, was excited. He agreed on behalf of Lu Li.
Lu Li was the leader and the Grim Reaper was the most powerful force in name. The Grim Reaper was the overlord of the Heavenly Chaotic Star Region.
Back in the days, the Grim Reaper was just a small assassin organization. Generations of ancestors worked hard and the Grim Reaper grew stronger. Now, the Grim Reaper had become the overlord of the Heavenly Chaotic Star Region.
How could Emperor Li and Emperor Mo not be excited?
Either way, the Grim Reaper would leave a mark in the history of the Grim Reaper.
Emperor Mo had some idea of what the Temple of Seal and the Tuan Race were thinking. But his vision was not as broad. He did not consider the seven galaxies. What he was thinking was the help the Grim Reaper would receive from the Grim Reaper!
The Temple of Seal and the Tuan Race did not care about the false reputation. The Grim Reaper needed it.
Once again, the Grim Reaper had gained two thousand universes. The resources were increased. They could use a large number of resources to train and recruit powerful warriors.
They had territory and resources. Now, they were being given a name?
This was good stuff. With a false reputation, many talents would be attracted to the Grim Reaper. As long as the Grim Reaper extended an olive branch, many smaller races would be tempted.
The Grim Reaper did not rise from one big race. Therefore, the future of the Grim Reaper was to attract many races to work together.
One rope could be cut off easily. What about one hundred or ten thousand entangled together?
By then, it would be difficult to cut it off.
Lu Li's title as the Grim Reaper's leader could bring great benefits to the Grim Reaper. It would be of great help to the development of the Grim Reaper. How could Emperor Li and Emperor Mo not be pleased?
When the news was sent back to the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper was overjoyed. The Lu Mansion was overjoyed. Disciples of the Lu Mansion were in high spirits. They walked around with their heads held high. Disciples of the Lu Alliance were proud as well.
Many smaller races invited disciples of the Lu Alliance to banquets to build a good relationship with the Lu Alliance.
They all knew that the Lu Alliance was about to soar. The Lu Alliance's faction was definitely the leader of the Grim Reaper.
However, the Lu Mansion was not so happy. Not only was Lu Li not happy when he heard the news, he even scolded, "Idiots!"
It was obvious who he was scolding. He was referring to Emperor Li and Emperor Mo!
Jiang Qiling and Bai Qiuxue did not understand, but Lu Ling did. She explained the intricacies to the others. Naturally, the Lu Family warriors were not in a good mood.
They did not want Lu Li to be the Grim Reaper's leader. They only hoped that he would not be under so much pressure and would not take risks.
"Leader?"
Sitting in the backyard by himself, Lu Li sneered.
He never cared about empty titles. He knew very well that such titles would not bring him many benefits. Instead, he would have to bear great pressure.
First of all, if the Steel Race and the Tong Race wanted revenge, the first person they would kill would be Lu Li.
"Never mind …"
Lu Li thought about it. After all, the Steel Race and the Tong Race were already at odds with each other. If the two races could gain a firm foothold and rise, they would deal with him sooner or later.
Lu Li thought about it for a while. A glint of ferocity rose in his eyes. Since he would have to fight the two races sooner or later, he might as well strike first.
