Chapter 2016 Negotiations Begin, Let's Try to Extort Each Other!

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changsheng's eyes ignited with renewed conviction.

Turning to look at the numerous tombstones behind him, Chen Changsheng grinned and said, "I knew you would help me."

"Whether the virtual world succeeds or fails, I will continue down this path."

"If one day I really can't walk anymore, then I'll come here to keep you company."

After saying that, Chen Changsheng turned and left the cemetery.

Behind him stood countless tombstones.

......

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Changsheng waited quietly in the center of the era for a long time. As the appointed time arrived, the ferocious beast lineage and the divine beast lineage arrived one after another.

Looking at the silent ferocious beast lineage and divine beast lineage, Chen Changsheng spoke.

"In these three days, I believe you have all thought it through very clearly."

"In that case, let's hear everyone's thoughts first."

Upon hearing this, Zhenlong spoke first, saying, "All conditions remain unchanged, and the compensation from the Dan Era will be deducted from the share of the ferocious beast lineage."

"impossible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ancient Qiongqi directly rejected the true dragon's conditions.

"My ferocious beast lineage will pay the compensation to Danjiyuan, but the original share must be adjusted."

"The ferocious beast lineage needs to increase its share by 30% on top of the existing share."

Upon hearing the conditions from both sides, Chen Changsheng glanced at them and said, "It seems that you haven't fully reached an agreement yet."

"To save time, I'll briefly summarize your thoughts."

"Your Divine Beast lineage wants to maintain the original conditions, and the Ferocious Beast lineage reluctantly agrees to this, but at the same time you also want to increase your share."

"To put it simply, you two had a fight, and then realized you couldn't really 'convince' each other."

"Is that what you mean by trying to rip me off together?"

In response to Chen Changsheng's words, Zu Feng said softly, "Although you spearheaded the virtual world project, you ultimately cannot complete it without our support."

"With such enormous profits, it's not a big deal if you take a larger share."

"You control such a huge amount of profits all by yourself, aren't you afraid of overspending?"

Hearing Zu Feng's words, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, "That makes sense. You are all powerful clans that have dominated for a long time."

"My fame as Chen Changsheng has only lasted for a few hundred thousand years. Compared to you, my foundation is far too weak."

"If you want to take it by force, I don't have any good solutions."

"But have you ever thought about this? The cultivation world has developed for so many years, why is it still the same?"

"The root cause is that you are rigid in your thinking and lack ambition."

"When faced with trouble, if you only think of using your fists to take it, you're no different from a robber."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qilin glanced at Chen Changsheng and said indifferently, "Isn't what you're doing also robbery?"

"I may be acting like a robber, but my methods are far more sophisticated than yours."

"Because while I am robbing, I am also constantly creating, while you are robbing, you are only bringing destruction."

"To tell you the truth, the goal of the virtual world is not the Longevity Era and the Pill Era. Even if you manage to make those two places a united front, you won't gain much benefit."

"What do you mean?"

The ancient Qiongqi asked a question, and Chen Changsheng calmly replied, "The literal meaning!"

"The development of the Dan Era is almost complete. Even with the addition of the virtual world, it can only cultivate some mid-level forces at most."

"It is basically impossible to cultivate a top-tier power like the Five Surnames, Four Sects, and One Pill Domain."

"Similarly, the situation in the Longevity Era is now pretty much settled. The resources generated from leaving the forbidden area have already been mostly divided up."

"Even if I come up with some amazing tricks, the Eternal Life Era won't see much substantial change."

"If you want more, then the only way is to expand outwards."

Upon receiving this answer, the True Dragon looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "Your goal is indeed beyond the two great eras."

"Do you want all of us to be your thugs?"

"It's not that you guys are my henchmen, it's that everyone has to be a henchman for the virtual world."

"For a cultivation world to grow stronger, it needs resources at different levels."

"Low-level cultivators need a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, elixirs, and basic magic treasures."

"When the number of cultivators is not large, the things that the world produces on its own are more than enough to meet the needs."

"However, with the promotion of the Bitter Sea system, the number of cultivators is increasing, and natural production alone can no longer meet the demand."

"We have taken a series of measures to solve this problem."

"Large-scale cultivation of spiritual herbs, mass production of magical treasures, elimination of preferential treatment based on bloodline, and equal distribution of resources among the elite."

"While these methods can effectively save resources, they still cannot keep up with the growth rate of cultivators."

"Ten thousand years ago, a basic cultivator in the Bitter Sea wanted to obtain a divine source, which took about half a month."

“But now, it takes a whole year for a basic cultivator in the Bitter Sea to obtain a Divine Source.”

"To put it simply, the value of resources in the cultivation world has increased more than twentyfold."

"Aren't you afraid of such expansion?"

Looking at Chen Changsheng, who was speaking eloquently, the ancient Chaos said, "Ants are ants after all. No matter how many there are, they can't have any impact on us."

"That's right, ants are ants. No matter how many there are, they will never harm you."

"But have you ever heard the saying that quantitative change leads to qualitative change?"

"Perhaps you can use a series of methods to suppress the ants below, but how is such an approach any different from the forbidden area of ​​that time?"

"If one day, one of those ants suddenly awakens, he will definitely punch you in the face."

"Like me right now!"

Facing Chen Changsheng's gaze, all the important figures present felt guilty.

Having survived for a long time, they knew very well the tenacity of life; no matter what method you use, there will always be life that survives.

Moreover, among these lives, there will always be one or two leaders who shatter everything.

Thinking of this, Zhenlong said, "Stop rambling and just tell me your thoughts."

"My idea is very simple: to give everyone a way to survive."

"The virtual world connects the world within our cognitive scope. When resources circulate, the existing things will increase."

"You don't need to worry about fists being smashed in your faces below, nor do you need to worry about slaughtering the people below."

"If everyone has a way to survive, wouldn't the world become more peaceful?"
