While Qinchuan and Sharmila were discussing the matter of changing the rules, the Seventh Elder of the Tian people appeared in the air above the altar. "Come out and speak with me, Miu Se."
As soon as the Seventh Elder finished speaking, a figure slowly flew out from the altar. He wore a white robe and a white crown on his head. Barefoot, he stepped on the clouds and arrived in front of the Seventh Elder. He asked faintly, "Fellow Daoist, you should call me Priest Miu Se."
The Seventh Elder looked at Miu Se and frowned. "Why didn't the Protoss say that he wanted to change the rules of the conference?"
Miu Se calmly replied, "This is God's will. We will announce it to the public as soon as God gives us his will."
The Seventh Elder sneered at Miu Se's words. "So it's Athius's idea to change the rules of the conference?"
Before the Seventh Elder could finish his words, Myrtle's gaze on the Seventh Elder suddenly turned sharp. She said in a deep voice, "You'd better add the title 'One True God' before you call God by his name. Otherwise, I'll take it as you challenging the dignity of God!"
The Seventh Elder sneered at Miu Se's anger. "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, then I'll have to challenge your True God!"
The Seventh Elder was already furious that the Protoss had bewitched three Tian people to believe in Athius, the One True God. Now that the Protoss had unilaterally changed the rules of the conference, it was as if he didn't put the Tian people in his eyes at all!
If Miu Se couldn't give him a satisfactory answer today, then he'd like to see just how strong this Priestess Miu Se was!
Miu Se was furious at the Seventh Elder's unyielding attitude. She was about to explode when a figure suddenly appeared beside Miu Se. The figure raised a hand and pressed down on Miu Se's shoulder, suppressing her anger.
When the Seventh Elder saw the figure that had suddenly appeared, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes. Even with his perception, he had not been able to detect the appearance of this person at the first moment!
"Friends of the Tian people, the sudden change of the rules this time is indeed our fault, but this is God's will. As God's people, we can only obey."
Lucas looked at the Seventh Elder calmly, stating an objective fact. God's will must be obeyed and must not be disobeyed!
The Seventh Elder frowned as he looked at Lucas. He didn't reply immediately. He could treat Muse casually, but he couldn't treat Lucas casually. After all, Lucas was the High Priest of the Church of Protoss. He was at least at the late-stage Body Integration Stage!
"Since you've come forward, there's still room for negotiation. We need you to compensate us."
The Seventh Elder looked at Lucas and said, "We won't let you change the rules so easily!"
Although the Seventh Elder was afraid of Lucas, it didn't mean that he would lower his head to Lucas. He would not let go of the benefits that he had to fight for the Tian people.
Lucas understood the Seventh Elder's words. After a moment of silence, he replied, "After the exchange is over, you Tian people can mine flame ores in the Lava World for a year."
The Seventh Elder frowned slightly when he heard the compensation. Although the compensation was somewhat ordinary, it wasn't too bad. He could reluctantly agree to it, but of course, he wouldn't give in so easily.
"A year isn't enough. At least three years!"
The Seventh Elder was testing Lucas' bottom line. If Lucas could agree to this condition, then it meant that the God's will that Lucas spoke of was very important. It was so important that Lucas would pay any price to fulfill it!
Lucas took a deep look at the Seventh Elder and said, "Alright!"
The Seventh Elder didn't stay any longer and turned to leave. After the Seventh Elder left, Myrtle said in a deep voice, "The Tian people have gone too far!"
Lucas shook his head and said to Myrtle, "Don't worry about it. Fulfilling God's will is the most important thing. We can ignore our gains and losses for the time being."
… …
Not long after the Seventh Elder and Lucas made the deal, Sharmila received a message from Thélon.
Sharmila said to Qinchuan, "The Seventh Elder has already negotiated with the Protoss. The rules can be changed, but after the exchange, the flame ores in the Lava World will be mined by us Tian people for three years."
Hearing Sharmila's words, Qinchuan frowned slightly. Flame ores were a type of mineral used to refine high-strength explosives. It had a relatively high mining value. The Protoss would rather give up three years of mining rights than give up on changing the rules. It seemed that the Protoss was determined to use this opportunity to help Provence reach the Body Integration stage!
Seeing Qinchuan frowning and remaining silent, Sharmila continued, "The Seventh Elder just sent me a message. He hopes that you can kill the Protoss's eldest son, Provence, without being able to escape unscathed. If you can do this, then we Tian people are willing to agree to some of your more excessive requests."
Qinchuan looked deeply at Sharmila and asked, "What if I want a nebula territory?"
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Sharmila was slightly stunned. She asked, "You mean Tron Nebula?"
Qinchuan nodded and said to Sharmila, "Yes, Tron Nebula. If you are willing to pay this price, then Provence will die!"
Originally, Qinchuan wanted to wait until he reached the Body Integration stage before making this request to the Tian people. He was even prepared to pay a heavy price. Now that the Tian people had taken the initiative to come to him and beg, he naturally had to seize this opportunity to extort them!
After a moment of silence, Sharmila looked at Qinchuan and said, "The Seventh Elder said that the Tian people agreed to your conditions."
…
Because the Protoss suddenly changed the rules, and the Tian people took this opportunity to extort them, the atmosphere of the exchange meeting suddenly became a little heavy. At this time, the Protoss and the Tian people had gathered at the entrance of the Lava World. Qinchuan finally saw Provence, who was surrounded by stars.
Provence was a very handsome man. It was no exaggeration to say that Qinchuan had never seen a man more handsome and charming than Provence. Such a man, coupled with his indifferent expression, accentuated his uniqueness and made people unable to take their eyes off him.
"This is not his natural charm, but a kind of illusion."
Just when Qinchuan was surprised by Provence's charm, Lü Zi suddenly whispered to Qinchuan, "Maybe Provence is really handsome, but his charm is so great because of the effect of illusion!"
