Monster Paradise

“Aza is waking up, so I hope that the Bug Tribe will become our ally!”

As soon as Lin Huang said that, the bug horde’s will fell silent for a long time.

Seeing that he did not speak, Lin Huang thought that he should keep the momentum going. He continued, “As a dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse, you should already know about Aza. As soon as He wakes up, the entire infinite universe will be transformed into a battlefield. When that happens, there will be no place left uncontaminated, including your Bug Tribe’s territories.”

The bug horde’s will spoke slowly after Lin Huang was done speaking, “In the infinite universe, all tribes see us as their enemy. To you guys, the Bug Tribe is no different than the Abyssal Tribe under Aza’s wing. The enmity we receive is no less than that of the Abyssal Tribe under Aza’s wing.”

“Of course I’m aware of Aza’s ability. I also have a rough idea about your ability too. To be honest, comparing them, I think the odds are better if we work with Aza to fight you guys. Not only that, to us, Aza is undoubtedly a better ally. I would like to know what makes you think that I should give up on making Aza our ally and choose you guys who have smaller odds?”

Lin Huang could not help but smile when he heard that. “What you said is correct indeed. Compared to us, Aza is a much better ally for the Bug Tribe. However, what if you see things from the other side? What do you think Aza thinks of the Bug Tribe? Do you think He’d see the Bug Tribe as a great ally? Frankly speaking, do you think He really needs an ally?”

What Lin Huang said made the bug horde’s will fall into silence again.

“Aza’s goal is to refine the entire infinite universe’ Heavenly Dao. In order to achieve that, He has to integrate enough chaotic cosmoses. Naturally, the effect is the same if He refines dominator-level powerhouses’ Kingdoms. He could even save more time that way. Therefore, on a certain level, all of the dominator-level powerhouses in the infinite universe are His targets. Especially dominator-level rank-9 powerhouses like you and I. It’s impossible that He would let us go! The reason being is that, as soon as He refines one dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse’s Kingdom, He can save Himself hundreds of millions of years of chaotic cosmos integration.”

“To put it bluntly, apart from a dominator-level rank-9 powerhouse like you, you guys have many dominator-level powerhouses that are just ‘food’ to Aza.”

Seeing that the bug horde’s will did not retort, Lin Huang kept the momentum going. “Therefore, the Bug Tribe doesn’t even have the option to become Aza’s ally.”

“Do we even have the option to become your ally, then?” The bug horde’s will responded in an unfriendly manner after a moment of silence. “The low odds aside, even if we got lucky and won, without the presence of Aza and His Abyssal Tribe in the entire infinite universe, the Bug Tribe will end up as the biggest enemy of all the tribes.”

Lin Huang asked after falling silent momentarily, “Since you said that, then let me ask you… why do you think all of the tribes hate the Bug Tribe?”

The bug horde’s will fell silent again. It was not that he did not know the answer to Lin Huang’s question, but rather that he did not want to answer it.

“All the tribes hate the Abyssal Tribe under Aza because of the contamination of Abyssal energy. One’s consciousness would descend into a frenzy if they became contaminated carelessly. The existence of Abyssal creatures is a great threat to everyone. The bottom line is that they’re a threat to everyone’s survival.”

“Meanwhile, one can say that all the tribes hate the Bug Tribe for the same reason. You guys plunder without restraint wherever you go. You expand your territories without restraint as well, which destroys the territories and resources of other tribes. It’s also a threat to everyone’s survival.”

“Are you saying we should go against our natural instinct and not plunder and expand?” The bug horde’s will scoffed at Lin Huang.

“I didn’t say that. The reason being is that, among all the tribes, almost every single one has plundered and expanded their territories. It could even be said that many tribes are still doing this terrible thing.” Lin Huang shook his head.

“However, I think you guys can exercise control, just like how the other tribes are doing so,” Lin Huang continued, “You guys should learn how to maintain a long-term perspective on development, instead of devouring all of the resources wherever you go, leaving behind a barren land. The people who arrive after that have no way of dealing with it, so they can only let the land remain barren.”

“If you can restrain the Bug Tribe’s tendency to plunder and expand, though I don’t mean that you guys should stop entirely, with restraint, I think we might not have enmity with the Bug Tribe.”

“You’re just putting things nicely now. After we really become allies and defeat Aza, you’ll definitely change. Among all the tribes, you humans are the ones who are always going back on your words,” the bug horde’s will said without hesitation.

“What do you want me to do in order for you to trust me? Draw up a contact? Or take a Heavenly Dao Oath?” Lin Huang really did not want to give up on the Bug Tribe as a potential allied force.

“It’s useless no matter how you decide to package it. I want substantial benefits.” “Shasha”, who had been possessed by the bug horde’s will, stared at Lin Huang while smiling.

“What substantial benefits?” Lin Huang squinted. “Do tell.”

“I know you have a unique technique to elevate the bug beasts’ grade” Clearly, the bug horde’s will had come prepared. “I want you to increase my grade by one level! Elevate me from rank-9 Eternity to rank-10 Peerless.”

Lin Huang raised his eyebrows when he heard that. It made sense that the bug horde’s will knew about it. The reason being was that he could definitely read Shasha and the other bug beasts’ memories.

“I’ll have to apologize in advance. I can’t do it. I can only elevate my own pets,” Lin Huang said honestly.

“Shasha” stared fixedly at Lin Huang’s face, seemingly trying to see if he was lying. A moment later, the bug horde’s will seemed to realize that he was telling the truth, and spoke again.

“Sure, elevate all of the bug beasts that have a contract with you to rank-10. As long as you can do that, I promise to make the Bug Tribe your ally and fight Aza together.” The bug horde’s will finally named His request.

Lin Huang fell silent again. He only spoke again a moment later. “To be honest, I can’t do that as well.”

Before waiting for the bug horde’s will to speak, Lin Huang continued, “In order to increase the grade of my imperial monsters, a large amount of Origin Energy is required. The Origin Energy I have left is only enough to elevate two to three imperial monsters to Eternity. It’s far from enough to elevate them further, much less more of them.”

“How about this? I’ll elevate Shasha to rank-9 first. Treat it as a deposit for our collaboration. You can think of a way to obtain the required Origin Energy later. As long as you provide me with enough Origin Energy, I can elevate all of them to rank-10!”

The bug horde’s will fell silent and thought for a long time, after which he agreed eventually. “Sure, I’ll try to gather Origin Energy. After I do, you’ll elevate all of the bug beasts who have a contract with you to rank-10.” “Then… I look forward to working with you.” Lin Huang knew that he had agreed to form an alliance with him.

“Looking forward to working with you!” “Shasha” stretched out her hand to shake Lin Huang’s hand.
