Chapter 2935: Chapter 2938: Reaching an Agreement

"Deputy Commander Jiang is really sharp!"

Sword Demon Venerable sighed. "If we didn’t know Wu Ge’er and Ge’er were still alive, maybe this benefit of yours would be dispensable. But now..."

The faces of Wu Ge’er and Ge’er changed slightly, a strange look flashing in their eyes.

Everyone was briefly surprised, then a look of realization appeared in their eyes.

This kid... When did he start calculating this? Or did it just happen to fall into place?

Others were doubtful, but Si Wenjun did not doubt in the least that Wu Ge’er and Ge’er were chips Jiang Chen had planned from long ago.

They had originally planned to subdue a batch of people from the Great Luo Realm, but the Eight-Headed incident cropped up midway and caused the plan to abort halfway. However, this preparation had been made long ago!

"As long as people are alive, they’ve got to have something to hold on to."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and didn’t dwell on this matter, continuing the previous topic. "The second benefit is that perhaps we can cooperate."

"Cooperate? You mean..."

Sword Demon Venerable’s eyes lit up, fixing on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen did not directly answer Sword Demon Venerable’s question, but turned to look at the Five Great Emperors. He did not yet have the qualification to answer this.

The Five Great Emperors frowned slightly, exchanged glances, and all fell into deep thought.

Jiang Chen also said nothing further, waiting for the Five Great Emperors to give an answer.

"This is indeed a hidden danger. If the Sword Demon can ferret out information on that person, perhaps we really can work together once, see if we can completely eradicate this hidden danger."

Emperor Origin spoke in a deep voice.

"Right! The hundred-thousand-year war was all because of him. If we don’t kill him, my Void Nether Realm may remain under constant threat, and a threat that could appear at any time. We cannot rely completely on that senior to intimidate him into never daring to attack the Void Nether Realm."

Canglan Great Emperor nodded lightly.

The other three Great Emperors all nodded in agreement.

"Good! I’ll go gather information."

Sword Demon Venerable gave a heavy nod. "If I get any news, I’ll draw Commander Si’s attention outside this Domain."

"Senior Sword Demon, in that case your Heavenly Dao Blood Oath can be amended. It doesn’t need to say you’ll never enter our Domain, only that you swear not to do anything that harms people of our Domain. That way we also avoid you using false information to trap and slaughter us."

Jiang Chen spoke with a light laugh.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned again, then all looked toward Sword Demon Venerable.

This was indeed something that needed consideration. If Sword Demon Venerable bore a grudge and used false information to deceive everyone, or joined with the other party to trap and kill everyone, that would be trouble!

"Fine! I, the Sword Demon, swear that from this day forth I will no longer harm anyone from the Void Nether Realm or the New World of the Extraterritorial Battlefield..."

Sword Demon Venerable straightforwardly and decisively made the Heavenly Dao Blood Oath.

Jiang Chen was still not at ease and turned to look at the souls of Wu Ge’er and Ge’er.

Wu Ge’er and Ge’er exchanged a glance and also made Heavenly Dao Blood Oaths in succession.

Even if they were unwilling, the situation was stronger than people; they had no choice. If they didn’t swear, they would die!

There was no doubt about that!

Very soon, Sword Demon Venerable left, taking the souls of Wu Ge’er and Ge’er with him. No one tried to stop them.

"Jiang Chen, now only our people remain. You are the greatest contributor in this battle. I want to hear your arrangements for this New World."

Once Sword Demon Venerable had left, Si Wenjun turned to Jiang Chen.

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes changed, all fixing their gaze on Jiang Chen.

This was a newborn world. In a New World, countless origin resources would slowly be born. These nascent-world resources would bring enormous benefits to cultivators of any realm!

"New World..."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Arrange it according to accumulated military merit."

"Accumulated military merit?"

Everyone paused, looking at Jiang Chen in puzzlement.

"To put it bluntly, this war concerns the entire Void Nether Realm. But in these hundred thousand years, have all forces sent people to fight? Have they really done their utmost? I don’t think so."

Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice.

Everyone’s expression shifted slightly, and they fell silent.

"Since they haven’t sent people and don’t truly want to contribute, then when it comes time to allocate resources, it’s not their turn to profit."

Jiang Chen said coldly.

"But if we do this, won’t some forces oppose it?"

Si Wenzheng voiced a different opinion.

"Oppose? What right do they have to oppose?"

Jiang Chen frowned at Si Wenzheng. "No effort, no fighting, yet they get to profit? On what basis? Because their forces are strong? Then we’ll wipe out their forces. A powerful force that never goes to the frontlines and only turtles in the Void Nether Realm enjoying ease—what use are they?"

Everyone was stunned; they hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to be this hardline, to speak so directly of annihilating them!

"I agree! Those who don’t go to the battlefield and don’t contribute to it are not fit to come here and share in the resources, enjoying the benefits of the New World."

Si Wenjun said in a deep voice, "If anyone has objections, you don’t need to step in. Let them come. As long as anyone dares enter the Domain of the New World, I’ll see to it they die here."

Everyone’s faces changed together. They wanted to say something; their mouths opened, but no words came out.

If you’ve made no contribution yet want to reap rewards—that’s absolutely impossible!

Si Wenjun had already become the Realm Lord of this world. Once he familiarized himself with his control over the world, even if everyone present joined forces, they would not be his match. As long as one lacked the ability to break this world, then within this world, Si Wenjun would be an invincible existence.

Moreover, this War God who had long garrisoned the Extraterritorial Battlefield was a thoroughly iron-blooded man. In the face of military law, there was no sentiment whatsoever. Not even the Five Great Emperors had the right to interfere in the military law of the Extraterritorial Battlefield, precisely because Si Wenjun enforced the law with absolute rigor.

"Mr Jiang’s words are reasonable. But how, exactly, do we allocate resources according to accumulated military merit?"

Emperor Origin asked softly.

"Allocate resources?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. "Great Emperor, I never said we’d allocate resources according to accumulated military merit. I said we’d arrange according to accumulated military merit. And this arrangement refers to how long one can stay in the New World."

"Duration of stay?!"

Everyone was stunned together, looking at Jiang Chen full of doubt.

"The New World has just opened and cannot withstand the presence of too many powerhouses. We can treat this place as a Secret Realm. Now, can everyone understand?"

Jiang Chen continued his explanation.

Everyone suddenly saw the light, a look of understanding appearing in their eyes.

"This is a good idea—treating this place as a Secret Realm. All accumulated military merit will be regarded as merit. The soldiers who still hold merit can choose whether to exchange it for Elixirs or for time to remain here. In this way, everyone who has participated in the fighting can enjoy time here. As for whether they can obtain resources, that will depend on themselves."

Emperor Origin was the first to voice his support.

The others also nodded one after another.
