Chen Fan's attitude was very clear.
Alliance was possible, cooperation was also possible.
But… there had to be benefits.
"..."
The Lord of Light fell silent.
In fact, he knew that.
Cooperation was impossible based on his few words alone.
"What do you want?" the Lord of Light asked.
"It's not about what I want."
Chen Fan shook his head, "It depends on what you can offer."
"Also… before that, I have to ask, why me? You have two ninth-rank experts in the Thousand Silk Realm, who wouldn't be a better choice for an alliance than me?"
"Because of the Great Dao."
The Lord of Light said solemnly, "In the past, the Lord of Order controlled Yin and Yang and life and death. Besides you, no one else has hope."
"Oh?"
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then that means it has nothing to do with you. If I can find the Order Heaven Strategy, I can obtain it myself, why would I need you?"
"Can you find the Order Heaven Strategy?" the Lord of Light retorted.
"Why would I look for it?"
Chen Fan smiled, "That broken thing, this City Lord is really not interested. I don't need to look for it. What I need is you… so, you are the one asking me now. As for whether the Ninth Land is a cage, real or fake, this City Lord really doesn't care."
At worst, he would repeat the events of the Tenth Land and turn their world upside down. What of it?
"..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Lord of Light was speechless.
These words seemed to be the truth.
The Order Heaven Strategy, which he cared about, was of no interest to Chen Fan.
And to obtain the Order Heaven Strategy, one must cultivate both Yin Yang and life and death.
The Lord of Light felt a headache.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan sneered, "You've said so much. Besides the Ninth Land being a cage, which is relevant to me, what else is related to me?"
"..."
The Lord of Light was stunned, it seemed he had guessed something wrong.
He thought that no one would be unmoved by the mention of the Order Heaven Strategy.
Even if he went to find Thousand Silk and Five Elements now, as long as he told them that he knew about the Order Heaven Strategy, he guaranteed that they would agree to any conditions he proposed.
After all, the Order Heaven Strategy was the foremost Emperor's weapon of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Even the supreme existence of the First Heaven coveted the Order Heaven Strategy.
Unfortunately, his plan had gone wrong.
The young man before him had not followed his expectations at all.
"Heh heh."
The laughter from across him was extremely jarring to the Lord of Light.
The Lord of Light's state of mind was completely disrupted.
"Come on, beg me," Chen Fan beckoned to him.
The Lord of Light: "..."
"You don't want to?"
Chen Fan smiled, "What the hell is this Order Heaven Strategy? What does it have to do with me?"
Boom.
Enough of this nonsense.
"Kill."
Chen Fan attacked again.
The helpless Lord of Light could only choose to continue fighting.
Words wouldn't work.
Rumble.
The two of them fought for a while, then rested, leaving the onlookers in a daze.
...
"What are these two doing?" the Azure Realm Lord asked in confusion.
"Who knows, they're crazy..."
"Fighting for a while, resting for a while. Isn't my time precious?"
"..."
These onlookers were getting impatient.
They had never witnessed a ninth-rank battle before.
They had hoped to enjoy the show, but it was becoming more and more boring.
If not for the desire to see the final outcome, they would have left.
...
Another battlefield.
Old Demon Chu and Dizang joined forces to fight the King of Fate.
The two demonic path powerhouses fought with boundless battle intent, but their opponent was the King of Fate, a true top-tier expert.
After devouring the Great Emperors of the entire Fate Realm to strengthen himself, his combat power was even more peerless.
Boom.
The three fought earth-shatteringly.
The battle had now become even more spectacular than Chen Fan's side.
"Hahaha, come again."
Old Demon Chu's spirit was always full of vigor.
Every time he was heavily injured, he would emerge from the demonic clouds again.
One demonic projection after another was shattered, and the Demonic Great Dao was already extremely weak.
But Ji Bin was like this, he still chose to attack again and again.
"Buddhist Purgatory," Dizang roared to the heavens.
He flipped his palm, and a purgatory took shape.
What should have been a peaceful Buddhist kingdom in his palm, was now pitch black, transforming into an endless purgatory.
The originally golden Buddhist figures also turned black.
"Kill."
The Buddhist Purgatory suppressed downwards.
Immediately, the Fate Dao was suppressed by the Demonic Kingdom.
Boom.
The King of Fate attacked frantically.
His Great Dao crisscrossed, shattering the Buddhist Purgatory.
"Die!" Old Demon Chu attacked from behind.
Dizang drew his attention from the front, while he launched sneak attacks from the rear.
"Suppress."
A pitch-black coiled dragon demonic pillar descended.
The colossal demonic pillar stirred chaos.
Boom.
The King of Fate was suppressed.
"Roar."
The King of Fate roared frantically.
His Fate Dao surged, causing the demonic pillar to shatter continuously.
The Buddhist Purgatory also shattered along with it.
Old Demon Chu and Dizang coughed up blood continuously.
But the two of them gritted their teeth and held on, not retreating a single step.
Crack.
Even as their physical bodies collapsed, they did not retreat.
A death match.
This battlefield entered a stalemate for a time.
The scene switched back to Chen Fan and the Lord of Light.
"Chen Fan."
The Lord of Light couldn't help it, "Things can still be discussed. There's no need for us to fight to the death."
His expression was extremely grim.
Clang.
The Heavenly Cloud Sword once again unleashed a river of sword energy.
Chen Fan remained silent, only focusing on his furious sword strikes.
The Lord of Light was helpless, and said solemnly, "Regarding the matter of the Tenth Land, I can pretend it never happened. What if I give you the territory? We can discuss the matter of the Order Heaven Strategy."
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan's attacks were unhesitating.
He sneered, "The territory that this City Lord conquered, what right do you have to give it away?"
A colossal joke.
The Tenth Land was fought for by a group of them risking their lives. Who was he to give it away?
The Lord of Light: "..."
The commotion from their fight grew louder and louder.
"Fine."
Finally, the Lord of Light couldn't hold back and said solemnly, "I will exchange a piece of news for our cooperation."
"That depends on whether this news is valuable," Chen Fan remained unmoved.
"A world."
The Lord of Light said gravely, "A world that has been refined."
"Hmm?"
Chen Fan was confused, "What?"
A refined world, so what?
There were countless worlds in the chaos, and even more had been refined. So what?
But the Lord of Light's next sentence made Chen Fan's pupils contract instantly.
"A world where flight is forbidden."
The Lord of Light's voice slowly carried a hint of excitement, "A world with the same source aura as a divine weapon in your hand."
Boom.
Chen Fan's body instantly erupted with a world-shaking aura.
His Heavenly Crown instantly appeared above his head.
Chen Fan's voice became solemn, "Are you sure you're telling the truth?"
Hoo!
The Lord of Light finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they didn't fight.
If they continued fighting, it would lead to real animosity.
This was good, they could have a quiet conversation.
The Lord of Light nodded and said, "That's right, it shares the same source aura as the divine weapon above your head. I don't know what the connection is between the two, but the aura is definitely correct. Moreover, it's a ninth-rank great world."
"Where is it?" Chen Fan's voice was urgent.
"..."
This time, it was the Lord of Light's turn to fall silent.
