Chapter 315: Reaching a Cooperation, Chen Changsheng: Don’t Be Too Greedy
Stomping sounds echoed in the cave as Hu Tudou tightly grabbed onto Chen Changsheng’s clothes, his big eyes curiously scanning the surroundings.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Changsheng stopped.
At the end of the cave, countless spider web-like threads appeared, and right at the center of these webs hung a fist-sized golden silkworm cocoon.
Looking at the cocoon, Chen Changsheng spoke, “I have already come here, and you don’t even say a word. This makes me feel quite awkward.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a spiritual sense immediately came from within the golden silkworm cocoon.
”In the battle of the Ascension Road, my Heavenly Silkworm Clan was not the main force. Why do you trouble us?”
”What you said is reasonable; by obstructing the penetration of the Ascension Road, your Heavenly Silkworm Clan wasn’t the main force.”
”Logically, I shouldn’t be looking for trouble with you.”
”But the problem is, I specifically want to come and cause trouble for you.”
”It’s not fair that only you can be the villain, while I cannot. Don’t you think so?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, the golden silkworm cocoon remained silent for a moment before responding again.
”What do you want?”
”Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations!”
”This is what our Heavenly Silkworm Clan relies on. You should know I won’t give it to you.”
”Yes, so I chose a suitable time to threaten you.”
”You are currently in a critical period of the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations. Your strength must be very weak, right?”
”The Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations has allowed our clan to stand firm for a long time, naturally having its unique aspects. Right now, I certainly don’t have the power to protect myself.”
”That makes sense,” Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “But the question is, if you can protect yourself, what about the Heavenly Silkworm Clan?”
”You might be able to repel me, but can you repel the enemies in the next great calamity?”
”The Beast Clan is already at its last gasp. How long can their current glory last?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, the golden silkworm cocoon fell silent again.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng sat down and said, “No rush, I have plenty of time. Take your time to consider.”
”But since you invited me here, wouldn’t it be appropriate to prepare some fruit platters for me to eat?”
”I’ve been talking for so long, my mouth is dry.”
Hearing this, countless silkworm threads began spreading out. Moments later, a pile of fresh mulberries appeared in front of Chen Changsheng.
Hu Tudu: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
Seeing Hu Tudu’s eager look, Chen Changsheng laughed and patted her head, saying, “Eat if you want. If there’s not enough, just ask for more.”
”Okay!”
Listening to Chen Changsheng, Hu Tudu firmly nodded and then happily picked up the fresh mulberries and started eating.
Chen Changsheng quietly waited for the cocoon’s response.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the spiritual sense emerged again from the cocoon.
”Where does this great calamity come from?”
”Not clear, but the targets are only a few: the Human Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Heavenly Court.”
”The people of the Lower Realm have just experienced a great war and are unlikely to cause trouble right now, but the people of the Upper Realm still have the capability.”
”If someone is determined to stir things up, the great calamity could indeed be initiated by the Human Clan.”
”Aside from the Human Clan, the Demon Clan doesn’t need to be mentioned either. The strength of the Demon Clan in both the Upper and Lower Realms is well-preserved.”
”Moreover, there’s a high probability that the next Heavenly Mandate will appear among the Demon Clan. If the Demon Clan wants to create trouble, no one can stop them.”
Upon hearing this, the golden silkworm cocoon said, “Then what about the Heavenly Court?”
”What is the Heavenly Court planning to do?”
”I don’t know, but they probably aren’t up to anything good. Since the Jade Emperor arrived in the Upper Realm, he has completely disappeared.”
”For someone like him to hide for so long, it’s hard to believe he isn’t up to something.”
”Currently, the ones who are likely to be up to something are probably just these people.”
”Coincidentally, I still have some connections with these people. When the great calamity comes, I can still speak for them.”
”So, the problem arises again: Do you give me the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations?”
Having said that, Chen Changsheng looked at the cocoon with a smile.
”I can give you the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations, but you must guarantee that the Heavenly Silkworm Clan survives the next great calamity.”
”That’s unacceptable. As a Heavenly Silkworm, you’re too greedy.”
”When the great calamity comes, it’s already a rare opportunity for the Heavenly Silkworm Clan to survive. How can you expect more?”
”The Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations is indeed excellent, but there are also things in the Beast Clan that can rival it.”
”To put it bluntly, the Beast Clan isn’t a solid block. There are many beasts that want to board my ship.”
”This price is too high; I don’t agree.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, the golden silkworm cocoon thought for a moment and said, “After the great calamity, the Heavenly Silkworm Clan will listen but not obey, and we need a piece of land as a fief.”
”Unacceptable!”
”Boom!”
A powerful pressure suddenly erupted, and countless silkworm threads enveloped Chen Changsheng.
This sudden movement almost made Hu Tudu drop the five mulberries in his hand.
But as an experienced fox foodie, Hu Tudu quickly caught the five mulberries and simultaneously held Chen Changsheng’s clothes tightly with his left hand.
Glancing at the surrounding silkworm threads, Chen Changsheng sneered, “What, do you want to attack me? Do you have the guts?”
”I am willing to cooperate with you, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you. When the great calamity comes, our Beast Clan may not necessarily be destroyed.”
”Yes, but you overlooked a situation.”
”You forgot that there is the Emperor Huangtian, the White-Haired Sword God, the Supreme Saint of the Mountain River Academy, and me!”
”The enmity between the Human Clan and the Beast Clan has lasted for a long time. You know how many people from the Human Clan the Beast Clan has killed.”
”Take your Heavenly Silkworm Continent as an example. How many people from the Human Clan did you enslave to serve as hosts for the Heavenly Silkworms? Even you probably can’t count them.”
”Even if I don’t settle accounts with you, would the Emperor Huangtian let you off?”
”Would that fellow from the Mountain River Academy let you off?”
”If someone brings out the White-Haired Sword God, would the Beast Clan be confident enough to face both the great calamity and these strong enemies?”
Hearing this, the golden silkworm cocoon fell silent again.
Because what Chen Changsheng said was true. The Beast Clan hasn’t produced any new strong bloodlines for a long time.
On the contrary, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan have been producing capable individuals. It is precisely because of this that he worries about the future of the Heavenly Silkworm Clan.
After a long silence, the golden silkworm cocoon sighed lightly and said, “The Beast Clan truly has declined. Looking back, when has our Beast Clan ever suffered such humiliation?”
”I agree to your terms. The Heavenly Silkworm Clan will live on as a subordinate race.”
”This is the final bottom line. If you make any more demands, then we’ll have to settle this with our hands.”
”Hehehe!”
”That’s better. Those who are adaptable are the wise, and those who can bend and stretch are the true men.”
”Let the Heavenly Silkworms outside withdraw.”
”Fighting for too long can easily damage harmony.”
As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of white light and one beam of golden light flew into the cave.
