My gorgeous wife Chapter 2191 - 2159: Unequal Negotiations

On the ancient star, stood a majestic great hall.

Around the hall, experts from all directions gathered, guarding the perimeter. Anyone wishing to enter would have to first consider their own strength.

Although compared to some of the grand and magnificent terrains and imperial palaces of the Four Realms, it seemed quite simple, even some Domain Realm experts’ chambers were more imposing.

However, the experts guarding in all directions provided the best deterrence.

Which stronghold could have so many Domain Spirit Realm experts safeguarding it?

This was the place for the Four Realms to hold their talks.

At this time, the people present in the great hall were not as confrontational as one might imagine.

As representatives of their respective Great Realms, everyone present was very calm. Of course, on some issues, none of them were willing to make concessions, so they continuously bickered here.

This situation had lasted for over half a month.

Li Changcun sat to the side, watching the four parties still bickering, somewhat helplessly yawning. He had fallen asleep several times during these talks, each time waking and falling asleep again, only to find these people still engaged in endless disputes.

And as someone who preferred to resolve issues with his fists, he hated such matters the most.

"If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come." Li Changcun mumbled inwardly.

As they had guessed earlier, except for the Heaven Realm, the other three realms were entirely made up of Ninth Order Soul Realms. In comparison, the Heaven Realm appeared much weaker.

Two Ninth Orders, one Eighth Order, one Seventh Order, and even a Domain Realm thrown in to make up the numbers.

Yet, the biggest headache for the three other parties was this Domain Realm.

"Regarding this ceasefire, our Heaven Realm fully supports it. Ultimately, such mutual exhaustion benefits neither side and will only be advantageous to those Doomsday Beast Souls, making us repeat the tragedies of eons past. However, on principle issues, our Heaven Realm will not yield. Ceasefire is ceasefire, but other conditions should be discussed separately," said Lin Yi earnestly.

It was known that she was once a CEO, excelling at negotiations of this nature. Now her cultivation had reached the Domain Realm, and after her memories returned, she had awakened the Spirit Wisdom Aperture, fully leveraging her negotiation skills.

In truth, the Heaven Realm was indeed at a disadvantage here. The three parties intended to impose conditions to further weaken the already weakest Heaven Realm.

But with Lin Yi’s eloquence, she argued with them for over half a month without backing down.

"I suppose you all are aware that the threat of the Doomsday Beast Souls is right before us. So if we’re still thinking of calculating against and weakening one another, then this talk becomes meaningless, don’t you think?" Lin Yi gently said, even causing people from the other three realms to feel she was indeed making sense.

Yet... how did the conversation drift away from their plan?

Not just the multitude of Ninth Order experts from the three realms, even the other three Tian Zun from the Heaven Realm were left wordless.

From start to finish, they found they scarcely had opportunities to speak; every directed question was preemptively countered by Lin Yi.

Her eloquence... truly unparalleled.

"From my birthplace, there is a tale quite similar to the current situation," Li Changcun transmitted via Sound Transmission to the other three Tian Zun, feeling some boredom, "It’s called a ’debate among the wise.’ "

"However, considering the circumstances, I feel it should now be called a ’debate against the Three Realms.’ "

The three Tian Zun nodded in agreement.

To single-handedly silence three realms’ fifteen Ninth Order experts—this might be unprecedented.

"For those present here, you may know something about the ancient times. Even such a mighty Era of Seven Realms retracted to just the Four Realms we have now, with Palm Realm powerhouses disappearing. Do you think now we can outshine the Era of Seven Realms?" Lin Yi posed another question.

"In such circumstances, if we’re still calculating against and weakening one another and resorting to underhanded moves, I believe the only thing awaiting us is annihilation. Wouldn’t you agree, given your statuses and cultivations?"

The top experts from the three realms exchanged glances with their respective compatriots, involuntarily feeling toothaches.

This little girl from the Domain Realm was truly formidable!

Damn, after cultivating for so many years, this was their first encounter with someone so adept at verbal battles.

After all that arguing, wasn’t it just about not wanting to yield benefits? Yet they couldn’t rebut her reasoning, which indeed sounded plausible at first.

"I’ve had enough!"

Finally, a Purgatory Demon Lord from the Demon Realm couldn’t help but slam the table.

"Crack!"

A special large table reinforced with Formation and refined from the hardest materials cracked with a massive gap from his venting slap, while numerous cracks spread outward.

This Purgatory Demon Lord stood up, looked grimly at his companions beside him.

"I said it before: this so-called talk is utterly pointless. Watching you argue, I reckon arguing for another ten or twenty years won’t yield any results!"

Several other Purgatory Demon Lords from the Demon Realm also turned sour-faced.

On the Immortal Domain side, several Daoist Lords shared glances and sneered covertly.

The Supreme Gods from the Divine Realm remained unfazed, as if unaware of the entire scene.

On the Heaven Realm side, Li Changcun, who was dozing with squinting eyes, opened his eyes at this moment.

"Is the noise finally over?"

Following this, the Purgatory Demon Lord pointed at the Heaven Realm side: "A realm as weak as yours would have been destroyed by us long ago. What right do you have to negotiate here? It’s ridiculous that a bunch of so-called heavenly realm people actually believe they can avoid concessions and still protect themselves?"

On the Heaven Realm side, aside from Li Changcun and Lin Yi, the other three Tian Zun couldn’t help but display anger.

Such words were openly insulting to the Heaven Realm.

Lin Yi did not react excitedly, merely sighed lightly in his heart.

He had anticipated some of this outcome.

Evidently, the Purgatory Demon Lord’s provocation might have been chance, or perhaps inevitable.

Successful negotiation requires relatively equal strength on all sides, which the Heaven Realm currently lacked. At least compared to the other three realms.

This was apparent from the lineup the Heaven Realm had brought.

"The one who slapped the table," suddenly, a voice interrupted, stopping the Purgatory Demon Lord from continuing his tirade.

Everyone looked in astonishment, the three realm people found that the speaker was actually that previously unobtrusive Seventh Order Tian Zun.

At this moment, this Seventh Order Tian Zun looked at the Purgatory Demon Lord with a mischievous smile: "Since you think the Heaven Realm is so inadequate, how about a spar with me, this weak Heavenly Realm Tian Zun?"

Li Changcun had a smile on his face; as a cultivator, wasn’t resolving matters through cultivation the best way?
