Lin Chen's fish-farming strategy was proving quite effective.

He confined the smaller races to cities on the northern side of the island, stopping short of extermination but maintaining the constant threat of it. This forced them to continuously draw soldiers from their own planets and nations to fight against the human race.

On the Human Alliance side, they consistently sent out their strongest warriors, crushing their opponents.

With minimal casualties, the three-nation alliance of human soldiers gained substantial experience points every day.

Thus, the Human Alliance's progress was actually quite slow.

However, the second-tier powerhouses on the Golden Ranking List, like Bai Shuyi and the others, were improving daily.

Liu Mengyao, relying on her formidable support abilities, finally topped the assist rankings.

Several days passed in this manner.

Meanwhile, the fighting on the central continent was intense.

After the Great Sun Golden Crow Clan and the Myriad Manifestations Peacock Clan joined forces to severely injure two Qiongqi Clan pseudo-deities, the Qiongqi Clan launched another offensive against the Great Sun Golden Crow Clan from the east.

The races of the Western Fantasy camp in the south, led by the Steel Dragon Clan and the Centaur Clan, were fiercely beating the Kua Fu Clan, forcing the Myriad Manifestations Peacock Clan to send troops to the southern battlefield to help the Kua Fu Clan defend their frontline bridgehead.

These past few days, Ming Ao had been trying to persuade the Heavenly Dog Clan in the west to join the war, as the pressure in the south was immense.

But…

The Heavenly Dog Clan had their own ideas!

They understood the principle of mutual dependence, but they wanted more benefits. Instead of fighting alongside the Kua Fu Clan and the Myriad Manifestations Peacock Clan, they sent their own troops from the west to attack the strong races of the Western Fantasy camp in the south.

However, their bark was worse than their bite.

They were merely creating a deterrent effect, preventing the alliance of strong Western Fantasy races from crushing the Kua Fu Clan.

But they weren't going all out.

In short, the Heavenly Dog Clan was clearly trying to make the Myriad Manifestations Peacock Clan and the Kua Fu Clan wear down these strong Western Fantasy races!

Could Ming Ao not see this?

He could only feel helpless.

Moreover, it seemed the Western Fantasy races were flirting with the Demon Clan Alliance led by the Qiongqi Clan.

If they couldn't protect the Kua Fu Clan in the south and they were defeated, the alliance of strong Western Fantasy races would gain significant momentum.

This was absolutely unacceptable.

Furthermore, the Demon Clan had to be suppressed.

The Great Sun Golden Crow Clan was currently fighting the Demon Clan Alliance with all their might, and their situation was precarious.

To be honest, the Heavenly Dog Clan's attitude made Ming Ao very unhappy.

He hurried back to the battlefield.

Just in time to see three experts arriving.

The Harpy Sphinx Clan's Emperor, Eagle Emperor.

Then there was the Centaur Clan Chieftain, Brand, and the Steel Dragon Clan's Emperor, Steel.

"Kua Da, prepare for battle!"

Ming Ao immediately called Kua Da over.

The two powerhouses stood ready.

However, when Steel and the others arrived, they didn't attack. Instead, Steel said cheerfully, "Don't be nervous, you two. We're here to negotiate."

"Negotiate?"

Ming Ao said coldly, "What is there to negotiate between us? Hmph, you actually colluded with the Demon Clan. When this reaches the ears of the gods, you'll be exterminated without us even lifting a finger!"

"Is that so? You can fool yourself with those words, Ming Ao! If we're really going to investigate collusion with the Demon Clan, then I'll have to ask how the Two-Headed Dragon Clan was exterminated..."

Steel immediately turned the tables on Ming Ao.

Report to the gods?

Great!

Anyway, there was no evidence of the Western Fantasy races colluding with the Demon Clan.

But the Qiongqi Clan and the Great Sun Golden Crow Clan were fighting fiercely in the center when they suddenly turned east and annihilated the Two-Headed Dragon Clan. Wouldn't that behavior and motive be difficult to explain?

Ming Ao was choked by those words. He said sullenly, "Speak, what do you want?"

"It's simple. We won't engage in internal strife anymore, but the territory is currently in your hands. You certainly won't be willing to cede some land to us... So, let's just have a duel witnessed by everyone. We'll temporarily cease all hostilities, and we'll send out one powerhouse to duel against one of your powerhouses."

Steel paused here, pretending to be lost in thought. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Any means can be used, even your emperors can make a move... For example, Yang Tongtian, the powerhouse who possesses ten portions of the Sun God's divine power, he can also make a move!"

"What are the consequences of the duel?"

Ming Ao asked, "What if we win? What if we lose?"

"If you win, we'll retreat and no longer actively attack you, seeking to change the current battlefield situation."

Steel continued, "If we win... then the center must be ceded to our Western Fantasy Alliance. Ming Ao, you can ask Yang Tongtian if he agrees."

"Wait, you said we'd all cease hostilities... Would the Qiongqi Clan agree to that?" Ming Ao asked again.

At this moment, a voice came from afar: "I, Rakshasa Tian, would very much like to see this duel... Cease hostilities, then so be it! Yang Tongtian, what do you think?"

"Hmph, who knows what schemes you're plotting? But... if it's just a one-on-one duel, I, Yang Tongtian, am not afraid of any of you. Steel, do you mean what you say?"

Yang Tongtian's voice also rang out.

So, these two powerhouses had also arrived.

After all, Steel and the others had mobilized both Emperors and a Chieftain, so everyone was naturally paying attention.

Even the Heavenly Dog Clan's Dog Emperor, Xiao Tian, had arrived. His entire body was covered in golden fur as he stood in the void and announced loudly, "Good, I also want to see this battle... But, this Emperor is just watching!"

"Since no one has any objections, then let's decide on this? Let's set the date for tomorrow, and the location will be Yellow Dragon Mountain at the intersection of the three regions, southeast and central, how about that?"

Steel inquired.

Everyone remained silent for a long time.

After a moment, Yang Tongtian said loudly, "Alright, I, Yang Tongtian, agree!"

"Then I will return and tell my warriors to temporarily spare you airborne turkeys." Rakshasa Tian said before immediately departing.

They were really going to cease hostilities.

The various races ceased their warfare.

Immediately afterward, Steel, the Eagle Emperor, and Brand arrived on the island.

They didn't need to go to the human race. As soon as they entered the airspace above the island, Lin Chen tore through the void and appeared.

He had nothing to do anyway, so he was focused on guarding the airspace above the island, preventing those powerhouses from entering. As soon as these three arrived, Lin Chen immediately noticed them, directly appeared, and smiled, "The three of you, is there some good news?"

"Human King, we have accepted your previous suggestion… Tomorrow, Yellow Dragon Mountain!"

Steel quickly spoke.

Then, they heard Lin Chen's unrestrained laughter…

Perfect, a few days of rest.

Lin Chen's hands were itching too.

Seven chapters today, still owing three chapters, plus the previous four…

Still seven chapters!

I'm going to grab something to eat. I'll work overtime until three in the morning tonight.

Don't wait up, everyone. Go to bed early and read it in the morning.
