Chapter 1553 Persuasion!

"It's really not that simple."

"Force, resource blockade, and weakening of the origin—it seems these physical methods are unable to reach that final lock."

He dispersed most of his clones that were fighting outside, leaving only a small number of clones to maintain control of the resource points.

There was no point in continuing the meaningless massacre and occupation. The key was to find a way to make the two leaders surrender "sincerely".

"Since external pressure doesn't work, how about collapsing it from within?" Ye Chuyun stroked his chin, his brain working rapidly.

"The magical world values ​​knowledge, honor, and individual strength."

"The technological world pursues rationality, efficiency and the continuation of civilization."

"Absolute power frightens them, but it cannot convince them."

“Maybe we need to change our thinking.”

"Perhaps it would make them realize that surrender is not a shame, but a sacrifice for something more important?"

Ye Chuyun no longer regarded the two worlds as existences that must be destroyed, but began to think about how to break the "shackles" set by the Heavenly Dao in their hearts.

This may require a display of something far beyond mere strength.

Such as understanding and respect for different civilizations, and a promise they cannot refuse.

Ye Chuyun's eyes became deeper.

He realized that this final assessment might not only test his ability to command and conquer, but also test whether he, as a "navigator", has the wisdom and vision to embrace, guide and even integrate different civilizations.

"It seems like it's time to have a good talk with them." Ye Chuyun whispered to himself.

He decided to visit the leaders of the two worlds in person.

Ye Chuyun's mind moved slightly, and two powerful divine thoughts crossed the space and accurately locked onto Antonidas and General Alpha.

"Don't be nervous, you two. I am the navigator of the prehistoric world."

"I think we need to talk. Give up resistance and I'll take you somewhere."

Before the two could react, the space around them distorted slightly. The next moment, they had left their respective bases and appeared in a strange space.

It seemed like there was a void starry sky here, and under their feet was a mirror-smooth surface, reflecting their respective figures.

No sound, no one else, just the three of them.

Antonidas gripped his staff tightly and looked at the young man in front of him warily.

General Alpha quickly scanned the surrounding environment, but all he got were "unknown spatial structure" and "unable to analyze".

"Navigator of the prehistoric world, what do you want to do?"

"Are you showing off your victory, or are you trying to humiliate us?" Antonidas asked helplessly.

He really has no other options.

General Alpha remained silent, but cold data flashed rapidly in his mind, and he was obviously trying his best to analyze the current situation.

Ye Chuyun looked at them: "Humiliation? No, no, no."

"I just want to have a civilized dialogue with you two."

As he waved his hand, three chairs and a round table appeared.

"Please take a seat."

The two hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down.

The situation is stronger than people, and they want to know what Ye Chuyun is trying to do.

"I know your current situation and the shackles in your heart."

Ye Chuyun went straight to the point, his gaze seemed to penetrate their souls.

Antonidas and General Alpha froze at the same time.

"Heaven won't allow you to surrender, right?"

"Deep in your souls, there is an instruction to 'never admit defeat voluntarily'." Ye Chuyun said slowly.

"Therefore, no matter how absolute my power is, no matter how desperate the situation I push you into, you will never be able to utter the word 'surrender'."

The two of them remained silent, which was tantamount to agreeing with Ye Chuyun's guess.

"But, have you ever thought about it," Ye Chuyun changed the subject.

"Why would Heaven establish such a test? Why would it send three completely different civilizations like us onto this battlefield, letting us fight each other?"

He looked at Antonidas and said, "Master Mage, the magical civilization of Erathia is resplendent and splendid, pursuing the ultimate knowledge and the sublimation of the individual."

"But have you ever encountered a truth that cannot be understood by magic? Have you ever considered whether magic is the only way in the endless multiverse?"

He looked at General Alpha again and said, "General, Alpha civilization has reached its peak through technology. We believe that everything can be quantified and analyzed."

"But have you ever analyzed the meaning of 'civilization' itself? When faced with phenomena beyond the comprehension of current technology, do you choose to remain closed-minded, or are you willing to embrace the unknown?"

Ye Chuyun's question left them unable to answer.

This obviously touched upon knowledge beyond their understanding.

"In my opinion, this assessment isn't just about determining who's the strongest."

"It tests whether a civilization, or rather the leader of a civilization, can transcend mere confrontation when faced with radically different beings and instead demonstrate the potential for inclusion, learning, and even guidance."

He stood up, and a water mirror appeared in front of the two of them.

In the water mirror, giants are forging weapons beside the furnace, warriors are training in the wilderness, and all races live in harmony.

"I unified the ancient world not by sheer slaughter."

"I tamed the seafolk of the East, turning them into sharp blades upon the vast sea. I subdued the giants of the West, harnessing their immense strength to my advantage. I defeated the Beast King of the South, and I also witnessed the wonders of taming beasts and the power of nature."

"I integrated them, and made my civilization more colorful and powerful."

Then, he took out the blueprints of [Basic Energy Principles] and [Portable Space Stabilizer] that he had obtained from analyzing the ancient research institute.

"Look, this is the knowledge I extracted from the remains of this battlefield."

"It doesn't belong to the primitive world, it's more like a combination of your technological and magical civilization."

"This just goes to show that different civilizations are not incompatible; they can learn from each other, merge with each other, and burst forth with even greater brilliance."

Ye Chuyun's eyes turned sincere: "I invited you, not to ask you to surrender as a conqueror."

"Instead, I hope that Erathia's magic and Alpha's technology can be combined with the prehistoric world."

"Imagine if the stability of magic runes could be optimized using scientific and mathematical models, if the energy supply system of energy weapons could draw on the energy storage structure of magic crystals, if our warriors could be equipped with products that combined magic and technology, if the knowledge of our three worlds could be shared..."

The future he described changed the looks in the eyes of Antonidas and General Alpha.

They saw a possibility that had never been seen before.
