The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 412 - 219: Immortal Mountain, But the Mage’s Style (6k)_3
Chapter 412: Chapter 219: Immortal Mountain, But the Mage’s Style (6k)_3
Why surrender to someone like me who is about to annihilate the empire?
You should know that I will never give up the empire, nor everything in this world...
Bai Yi won’t just accept a surrender from anyone; currently, there’s little resistance worth seeing in this world. Sooner or later, this world will be hers.
Under this premise, to put it bluntly, once everyone is wiped out, aren’t those bargaining chips for saving their lives all hers in the end?
Bai Yi’s intention was quite clear, and the other party evidently understood this rationale, immediately saying:
"Those mortals of the empire are not our kind; what we pursue is always a higher level!
Always the truth of the world!
A mere few mortals, what do they have to do with our wish to pursue the truth?
Moreover, what we offer isn’t anything tangible, but knowledge."
Huang Anding knew what was most important, immediately pointing out the focus of his bargaining chip.
Bai Yi’s eyes brightened, not only due to this bargaining chip but also because Huang Anding’s extremely rational thinking greatly impressed her.
"Tell me more in detail."
Seeing Bai Yi’s interest, Huang Anding’s heart finally settled down.
On his way here, he had specifically watched from the edges of the battlefield and confirmed that these seemingly ferocious creatures of the Insect Clan indeed possessed outstanding spellcraft skills.
But because he hadn’t fully confirmed that the Insect Clan would be interested in knowledge, he was still anxious.
In fact, back when the Insect Swarm descended, the Immortal Mountain already had a premonition, sending people for secret investigations, which detected this point.
So he brought this bargaining chip out of the mountain.
Originally, he was worried he would have to prove his worth in front of an ugly great insect.
Now the great insect had turned into this lovely-looking young girl, which was much better than expected.
Seeing the bargaining chip piqued the other party’s interest, he immediately spoke:
"Our Immortal Mountain, since the era when beasts ruled, in frustration over the empire, has stayed secluded in the forests, disappointed in the outside world and deeply researching various magic.
Originally intended to find a way to defy the heavens (break through the Seventh Rank), but could not fulfill that wish.
Unexpectedly, we discovered many rules of heaven and earth, eventually summarizing them into a set of Magic Runes.
Since then, knowing our path was cut short, our Immortal Mountain began to delve into this set of heaven-blessed Magic Runes.
With these Magic Runes, our six Immortal Mountains have improved the original, primitive magic into one after another new talisman formation, reaching today by walking this path.
I observed the runes on the bodies of Your Highness’s Insect Clan but they differ from the inheritance of the Immortal Mountain, and cannot be recognized..."
Huang Anding knows well what is critical, simply describing their knowledge of magic to showcase the richness of Immortal Mountain’s knowledge, without making Bai Yi feel bored.
Having thoroughly displayed his value, he finally hinted at some intimidation.
"If you can accept our Immortal Mountain, then its knowledge can be at Your Highness’s disposal.
We only seek to move one step further."
Bai Yi understood the other party’s meaning, even though it wasn’t spoken outright, but it was evident that destroying knowledge, if truly desired, is still easy.
It might even be possible that if Huang Anding passes away, things like Life Lamp or Life Candle may allow for this to be detected, and immediately initiate a destruction sequence.
However, since Immortal Mountain is genuinely seeking to surrender, Bai Yi is happy to accept.
First, the value of this knowledge; according to what was said, those Magic Runes are likely to be a type of rune, different from those Bai Yi mastered—there are differences at the very least.
Second, the power of Immortal Mountain is not weak; avoiding combat can reduce losses to the Insect Swarm.
And if Immortal Mountain can be collected, it would greatly bolster the number of Tier Six units currently within the territory.
It should be known that even though Bai Yi can forcibly break out a batch of Tier Six using her superpower, due to the time required for Spiritual Power recovery, this number has not yet exceeded a hundred.
They are also just having breakthrough, with little to no improvement in rank.
More importantly, these Immortal Mountain cultivators themselves have considerable research abilities.
Why not take advantage of such a ready profit?
"Can you represent Immortal Mountain?"
"Of course, I am the inheritor of Huang Xi as Mountain Master, and this time out, I have also obtained the endorsement of the other five Immortal Mountains."
To be able to represent Immortal Mountain, Huang Anding’s identity is certainly elite.
In the initial self-introduction just now, it was purely because in front of Bai Yi, he wouldn’t expose such an identity to avoid seeming arrogant.
Of course, now Bai Yi is in control, the urgency is not hers.
Even though there is an intent, she temporarily holds it back, turning to inquire about the Contractor left aside.
"I will consider it.
But going back, I was curious from the start about why you and she came together?
And what’s your situation?"
"We didn’t come together, just happened to meet on the way and coincidentally have the same goal here.
Moreover, I can conceal my presence on the mental level to avoid attention, and he can fly through the air, making us perfectly complementary, hence traveling together."
"Uh...
You don’t need to describe forming a team to surrender so... poetically.
Well, it doesn’t matter. Then this person...
Why have you come here?
It can’t be to surrender, right? Your companions in this world are basically in my hands, defeated ones don’t have the chance to surrender."
Unlike Immortal Mountain, which has its own power, Paradise is practically left with only a few remains.
