Chapter 3979: A negotiation with The Guardian (1)
Tang Zhen did not expect that this unexpected war would actually draw out the hidden world Guardian.
It was the Guardian’s Secret following that allowed the fatal crisis to be resolved.
If it wasn’t for the other party’s existence, which made the Demon’s Eye fearful, Tang Zhen might have already been killed.
When the killing turned into a confrontation, the situation would be quite unfavorable for the Guardians. They could no longer continue to observe in the dark and had to make a choice as soon as possible.
The Demon’s Eye could afford to delay, and Tang Zhen had no problem, but The Guardian was different.
He was protecting the entire world, so he couldn’t waste all his time here. He didn’t care about other things.
Tang Zhen was clear about this. He knew that he didn’t need to take the initiative. The other party would definitely take the initiative to contact him.
He was able to take over the divine weapon city and even had a divine weapon in his hands. Furthermore, he was a first level God King.
To the Guardians, Tang Zhen had considerable value and could be considered a partner.
Tang Zhen, who had confirmed this point, appeared even more relaxed. It was as though he had already completely escaped from danger.
His abnormal behavior. This made the Demon’s Eye feel suspicious, but it also made it more vigilant.
Tang Zhen waited quietly, knowing that The Guardian was more anxious than him.
As expected, it didn’t take long for a divine sense to connect with Tang Zhen and attempt to communicate with him.
"You know of my existence, that’s why you’re acting like this?"
The voice was cold and emotionless, which was in line with his image.
"I’m just confusing the enemy and making it fear me. What does it have to do with you?"
Tang Zhen coldly replied. Even if the other party might be an ancient Godking, he would not bow and bend his knees to welcome him.
I know you’re trying to confuse the Demon’s Eye, but you’re just borrowing my power. If I leave the battlefield now, you’ll definitely be devoured by the Demon’s Eye.
The protector’s words contained a trace of intimidation. He wanted to use this to deal with Tang Zhen.
If Tang Zhen were to give in, things would be even easier.
Who would have thought that Tang Zhen would directly sneer after hearing these words.
At this moment, a figure appeared in his soul sea. It was the projection of The Guardian.
The other party’s sudden appearance did not have any effect on Tang Zhen.
"Sir, please leave. I have my own means of escape."
Tang Zhen coldly said, completely ignoring the other party’s threat. He was not speaking without thinking.
He did have a way to escape. Although the success rate was not high, it meant that he was no longer helpless.
After receiving Tang Zhen’s strong reply and seeing that he had completely ignored his threat, the protector also felt extremely depressed.
The reason why Tang Zhen was able to endure until now was completely because of his existence. However, he did not appreciate it in the slightest.
If they wanted to leave, they could. No one was stopping them.
Tang Zhen clearly knew that the Devil’s Eye would immediately launch an attack once he left, yet he still refused to submit.
This meant that it was impossible to continue with the previous bait plan. Tang Zhen was definitely not someone who would be easily manipulated.
If he really left, it would only make things worse.
The most infuriating point was that if they wanted to cooperate with each other to fight against the Demon’s Eye, they had to accept Tang Zhen’s manipulation.
To The Guardian, this would damage his own reputation, but the responsibility he had to bear forced him to make a choice.
"I can help you once and help you resolve this crisis, but I need your full cooperation."
Since Tang Zhen didn’t fall into the trap, The Guardian could only get straight to the point.
His original plan was to hope that Tang Zhen would beg him. However, his current situation was somewhat passive.
For the same matter, whoever took the initiative to speak first would have a completely different nature.
"If the plan is sound enough, I can consider it."
Tang Zhen gave a reply, but he did not directly agree.
The protector was so angry that he almost flew into a rage. He had already taken the initiative to lower his stance and cooperate with Tang Zhen, but he did not expect to receive such a response.
It was simply too much to hesitate.
If it wasn’t for the critical situation, The Guardian would definitely let Tang Zhen know what kind of serious consequences there would be if he did this.
However, at this moment, he could only endure his anger and continue to persuade Tang Zhen.
In his heart, he was even more clear that Tang Zhen’s attitude was actually expressing his dissatisfaction.
He clearly had two chances to attack, but he missed both because of his hesitation. His dirty thoughts had clearly been seen through by Tang Zhen.
The protector forcefully suppressed his anger. He knew the value of Tang Zhen. He originally wanted to control him, but now, he could only try to cooperate.
"I know that you’re not in a good condition right now. Even if you’ve recovered for a while, you’re still not in a good state.
However, at the right time, if he used his full strength, there was still a possibility of killing a strong enemy.
I’ll lock onto the enemy and launch a full-power attack, but I might not be able to kill him.
I’ll need your help at this time. Launch a full-power attack on the Demon’s Eye, and there’s a 90% chance of killing it.
The only way is to kill the enemy and resolve the crisis."
When the protector said this, he issued a warning to Tang Zhen.
don’t think too highly of yourself. We’ve already lost a lot, and the cities you have are no less important.
The Guardian was actually very clear about Tang Zhen’s thoughts and plans. He gave in and issued a warning at the same time.
This also proved that he really valued Tang Zhen and hoped that they could work together to kill the strong enemy.
Tang Zhen merely laughed softly after hearing the protector’s warning. He naturally would not compete with the other party.
There was no need to anger The Guardian as long as the goal was achieved.
The protector’s suggestion piqued Tang Zhen’s interest. If he could kill the Demon’s Eye, he would definitely profit from this.
Before he encountered the evil Demon’s Eye, Tang Zhen had followed the three old ancestors and killed more than one ancient deity King. He had also obtained a generous war bonus.
This was the best way to obtain divine source. It was through the war dividends that Tang Zhen was able to advance to the first realm so quickly.
"We can work together, but I want a bonus from the war. You get 70% and I get 30%. This is the only condition for our cooperation."
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s request, The Guardian was slightly stunned. He had no intention of giving Tang Zhen his dividends at all.
If he was in a good mood, he could reward Tang Zhen with some soup and water, but he did not treat Tang Zhen as a real collaborator.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Tang Zhen had placed him in the position of a business partner from the beginning.
If he treated Tang Zhen as a tool and thought that he could use him as he wished, it would definitely be wishful thinking.
Tang Zhen was a God King cultivator. He had his own dignity and the capital to negotiate.
It was simply impossible for him to order Tang Zhen to help him without paying any price.
For the sake of the big picture, The Guardian decided to take a step back.
"I can give you 10%. This is already a large amount of divine source."
"I want 30%."
20%. Don’t overestimate yourself. You’re only providing support. You don’t have the right to ask for so much!
"I want 30%, or I’d rather quit!"
Tang Zhen’s attitude was incomparably firm. He also had the ability to kill an ancient deity King, so why couldn’t he obtain the corresponding benefits?
So what if The Guardian was unhappy? did he have to deliberately please the other party?
Through the previous encounter, Tang Zhen knew the Guardian’s character. He was indecisive and selfish. Even if Tang Zhen did not want any benefits, he would feel that it was only right.
He would even feel that Tang Zhen owed him for helping him escape from the crisis.
When faced with such an existence, there was absolutely no room for hesitation in the negotiation. When it came to one’s own interests, one had to fight for it.
After a few moments of silence, The Guardian finally agreed.
alright, if we kill the Demon’s Eye, I’ll give you 30%.
