Rise to God with Life Skill Professions

Chapter 640 - 587: Collaboration (Part 2)

Gu Yuan poured a cup of tea and slid it across the table to Qin An.

"Let’s have a cup of tea first and talk about it. Rushing things leads to mistakes, and we have a few days before the final battle between the Demon Pseudo-Gods and human factions."

Qin An nodded, lifting the teacup to take a sip.

Yue Wushuang, sitting beside Qin An, watched him curiously, eager to know what plans Qin An had in mind.

After finishing his tea, Qin An set the cup down and spoke slowly, "I once ventured into a Forbidden Area called the Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat. There, the natives launched a counterattack, putting both the Demon Pseudo-Gods and human factions in a desperate situation. It was then that we adopted a highly unusual method."

Gu Yuan asked with curiosity, "What method could make Mr. Qin call it ’special’?"

Qin An calmly replied, "Cooperation with the Demon Pseudo-Gods; both sides joined forces to survive against the native forces."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan appeared enlightened.

"I see. Mr. Qin intends to unite everyone to eliminate the most unstable factor before tackling the Demon Pseudo-Gods."

Everyone was smart enough to understand each other’s meaning with a few words.

But Gu Yuan found it somewhat challenging.

"If Mr. Qin’s method can be implemented, it would indeed be excellent. We could even pretend to decide a winner and loser to lure the natives out, which might be much better than Mr. Qin being the bait."

"However, getting the Demon Pseudo-Gods to cooperate with us might be extremely difficult."

"Where’s the difficulty?" Qin An asked.

Gu Yuan took a moment to organize his thoughts before speaking slowly, "The hardest part is that this group of Demon Pseudo-Gods wouldn’t be willing to trust us."

"After all, if we were in their position, we might think if we cooperate to deal with the natives, once that’s done, we could turn our weapons against them, and they would stand no chance. Thus, that’s the biggest hurdle."

Yue Wushuang chimed in, "Exactly, if I were a Demon Pseudo-God, I wouldn’t agree either. Right now, the situation is relatively clear, but if both sides cooperate and remove the thorn of the natives, the situation would become muddled."

"And it would be nearly impossible for those Demon Pseudo-Gods to survive in such a situation."

Qin An fell into contemplation.

He understood that what the two just said made sense.

Cooperation could be easily spoken of, but not perfectly executed.

After a pause, Qin An looked up and said, "Lord Gu, everything must be tried. Perhaps we can try first, and if the Demon Pseudo-Gods refuse, we can seek other ways."

Gu Yuan nodded, "Alright, let’s go with Mr. Qin’s plan for now. Of course, if anyone else comes up with another method in the coming days, I’ll discuss it with you, since you are indeed a key figure in this battle."

Qin An nodded, said no more, and then left the room.

Yue Wushuang followed Qin An out.

Soon, the room was left with only Gu Yuan.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan headed to Wang Xue Ming’s residence.

Shortly after Gu Yuan left Wang Xue Ming’s place, Wang Xue Ming stepped out and summoned a human cultivator.

"Go to the Demon Pseudo-Gods."

The cultivator acknowledged and quietly left the city, heading in a certain direction.

...

At this moment, in a dark forest.

A demon covered in white fur with a ferocious face sat on a huge stone, looking up at the night sky.

Below him was a large group of various Demon Pseudo-Gods.

They were all silent, maintaining their quietude.

The Demon Clan Leader withdrew his gaze, scanned the demons below, and sighed.

"In a few days, the final battle will come, but we are currently at a disadvantage. You must give it your all and avoid cowardice and timidity."

The Demon Pseudo-Gods present nodded in agreement.

Because of the leak of the Reincarnation Treasure’s aura, the humans and the Demon Pseudo-Gods have fought many times.

And because the Reincarnation Forbidden Area has been helped by the Evil Extermination Bureau a few times, the Demon Pseudo-Gods are currently at a disadvantage.

The information they received is that the people from the Evil Extermination Bureau have arrived at the Reincarnation Forbidden Area.

They knew that if the human factions, along with the Evil Extermination Bureau, joined forces, they might have no other choice but to flee.

The atmosphere in the forest was oppressive.

The Demon Clan Leader sighed again.

He felt that this time there was no turning back.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.

A demon quickly arrived, saluting the gathered demon beings.

"Clan Leader, the humans have sent an envoy, saying there’s something important to discuss that might change the current situation."

The Demon Clan Leader frowned before finally waving, "Bring them in, I want to hear what they have to say."

The Sheep Demon immediately complied and left the forest.

It wasn’t long before he brought a human cultivator before the Ape Demon Clan Leader.

Before the Ape Demon could speak, the human cultivator said, "I am an envoy sent by Clan Leader Wang, here to discuss cooperation against the natives with you."

Upon hearing this, the Ape Demon Clan Leader looked towards the envoy and said.

"Cooperation? If it were any other time, we could cooperate, but now, with everyone already seeing red, asking us to cooperate seems like a joke, doesn’t it?"

The other Demon Pseudo-Gods nodded, casting sinister glances at the human cultivator.

Surrounded by these gazes, the human cultivator showed no fear.

As a person chosen by Wang Xue Ming, he naturally had some courage.

The human cultivator continued, "Clan Leader, you have no choice, and neither do we. Rather than mutual destruction, it’s better to deal with the natives first."

"Additionally, Clan Leader Wang says that after dealing with the natives, he won’t immediately move against you, nor will the Evil Extermination Bureau. We could maintain peace for a while, giving everyone a chance to recover before battling it out later."

The Ape Demon Clan Leader sneered, "You’re overthinking it. If I believe these words, it’s like pushing our Demon Pseudo-Gods into a fire pit. After all, anyone can say words when their lips move."

The human cultivator sighed, "I know the Clan Leader doesn’t believe, and Clan Leader Wang knows you don’t either. That’s why we plan to make an oath with you and hope you’ll do the same."

The Ape Demon Clan Leader shook his head, "Oaths are the least trustworthy thing in this world. You should leave now, while I still follow the custom of not killing envoys during conflict."

"If I change my mind, you might not leave here alive."

Oaths were the least trustworthy, and believing in them led to a miserable end.

Several Demon Pseudo-Gods chimed in, clearly not believing the human cultivator’s words.

The human cultivator sighed, his eyes reflecting a thoughtful silence, "Clan Leader, you may have forgotten Clan Leader Wang’s profession. If he handles this oath, do you think it’s feasible?"

His profession?

The Ape Demon Clan Leader suddenly remembered, "Right, he’s a Blood Tongue Master."

The human cultivator nodded, "That’s correct. As a Blood Tongue Master, he can use Void Essence to forge a blood oath, binding anyone within his power, including himself. So with that, I think you should feel at ease."

These words plunged the scene into silence.

After a long pause, the Ape Demon Clan Leader lifted his head, "Alright, I’ll do it."
