912 Imperial Preceptors Aren’t Good People, I’m Not That Strong (1)
The Giant Spirit King successfully changed the topic.
After talking for so long, he still wanted Zhou Shu to be the king of the giant spirit race?
“Kid, it makes sense.” Ji Lutian’s lips didn’t move as he sent a voice transmission to Zhou Shu. “If you become the king of the giant spirit race, won’t you have the final say in the giant spirit race? At that time, won’t it be much easier for us to find a way back?”
“Fat hope.” Zhou Shu sent a voice transmission. “Think about it. The two of us are outsiders. Even if I really become the king of the giant spirit race, will they listen to us? Won’t we be mere figureheads? Moreover, if I become the king of the giant spirit race, their history will change.
“If the giant spirit race can’t become the ruler of the world because of our joining, then how can we borrow their power to return to our era?”
Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian had returned to this era because of the bronze palace of the giant spirit race. By this logic, they should only be able to return to their era through the bronze palace.
If nothing unexpected happened, this bronze palace should have been built by the giant spirit race. But the current giant spirit race clearly didn’t have the ability to build the bronze palace.
Only when the giant spirit race became the legendary ruler of the world would they have the ability to build the bronze palace. At that time, Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian would be able to return.
Zhou Shu didn’t dare to do too much now because he was afraid that there would be a butterfly effect that would change the fate of the giant spirit race. If they couldn’t become the ruler of the world, things would be troublesome.
“Kid, are you joking?” Ji Lutian sent a voice transmission. “These ancient races are all primitive. With your help and mine, the giant spirit race will definitely become the ruler of the world!
“If you really become the king of the giant spirit race, we will be able to lead them to sweep through the ancient races and let them be the ruler of the world in advance! Wouldn’t that be better?”
Zhou Shu’s face darkened. Whose side is Ji Lutian on? I asked him to come over to negotiate with the Giant Spirit King. Why is he helping the Giant Spirit King persuade me?
“Ji Lutian, if I remember correctly, you once said that after the Giant Spirit King became the paragon of the world, he went against Heaven and died a horrible death.
“You can’t wait for me to die, right?”
“You have a point.” Ji Lutian rubbed his chin in thought. “That’s not right. Why do you have to go against Heaven?”
“What do you think? What you know is history. How can I know what will happen in history? In the history you know, the Giant Spirit King will die a horrible death. I don’t want to take that risk,” Zhou Shu transmitted his voice angrily.
“Since you don’t want to become the king of the giant spirit race, how about we be emperor emerituses?” Ji Lutian transmitted his voice excitedly.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes in his heart. Why do I feel that Ji Lutian is a little unreliable?
If I let him talk with the Giant Spirit King, they might not be able to reach a conclusion.
Zhou Shu felt that he couldn’t let Ji Lutian talk anymore. “Giant Spirit King, I can understand your desire to make the giant spirit race stronger. I can help you, but it’s impossible for me to be the king of the giant spirit race.
“Of course, there’s no free meal in the world. I won’t help you for free.”
“What are your conditions?” After all, the Giant Spirit King was the king of a race. He was much more quick-witted than Cang Bai and the others.
“My condition is very simple,” Zhou Shu said. “From now on, I want to take half of all the gains of the giant spirit race.
“Moreover, if the giant spirit race becomes the ruler of the world one day, you need to help me do something. This might require gathering all the strength of the giant spirit race.”
“I want to ask you clearly. Will this endanger the lives of the giant spirit race?” the Giant Spirit King said with a solemn expression.
“I don’t know,” Zhou Shu said honestly. He didn’t know where the bronze palace came from, nor did he know how much it would cost to travel through time.
He added, “But I think that although the giant spirit race might pay a price, it shouldn’t endanger the lives of the entire giant spirit race.”
“I have no problem giving you half of the gains of the giant spirit race,” the Giant Spirit King said in a deep voice. “I can help you do anything. But I have to say this first. If what you do endangers the existence of our giant spirit race, I will refuse.
“But I can give you my life.”
Zhou Shu looked at the Giant Spirit King. If he agreed immediately, Zhou Shu would really doubt his sincerity.
It was only natural for the Giant Spirit King to be worried about the survival of the giant spirit race. He had begged Zhou Shu to become their king so that they could survive. If the matter endangered the existence of the giant spirit race, it was only natural for the Giant Spirit King to refuse.
“I can guarantee that what I will ask you to do won’t endanger the survival of the entire giant spirit race,” Zhou Shu said.
“In that case, I agree,” the Giant Spirit King said seriously. “But Brother Zhou Shu, since you’re unwilling to be the king of the giant spirit race, then what identity do you want to use to stay in the stronghold?”
