High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen landed on the ice and looked at the Ice Demon Ape King kneeling at the front.

In the global extermination plan, the Ice Demon Clan was his last and only target, and he hadn't figured out how to deal with them.

The other beast kings fled, and he gave chase.

The remnants of the Sirius clan didn't escape; he wiped them out.

But the Ice Demon neither ran away nor fought back; instead, it led its entire race to kneel on the icy plains.

The Ice Demon Clan played a crucial role in killing the Sirius King and severely damaging the Sirius Clan.

Humans recognized his merit in battle, so he didn't draw his sword right away.

Song Chen flew into the air, looking down at the Ice Demon King, and said, "Ice Demon King, why are you kneeling?"

The Ice Demon King raised his head: "The Ice Demon Clan requests to surrender to humanity."

"What reason could humans possibly have to accept the surrender of a beast race?"

The Ice Demon King knelt on the icy plain and spoke his words one by one.

"The Ice Demons have a history of fighting side by side with humans, and we have never launched an attack on human base cities. This is the reason why the Ice Demons have survived."

"We are not a merciful race; the beastmen have no concept of mercy. But we have loyalty, loyalty to our allies."

Song Chen opened his phone and dialed Li Qingcang: "The Ice Demon Clan requests surrender. Should we accept it or not?"

Li Qingcang was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "What's your opinion?"

"Let them stay. Humanity needs a stable population of alien beasts after the war. The Ice Demons have a history of cooperation and are easier to negotiate with than other races. We can set the bar the most; they won't have a choice."

"Then you can handle the negotiations."

Song Chen hung up the call and turned to the Ice Demon Ape King.

"Surrender is possible, but on conditions."

"First, all Ice Demon Clan members of the sixth rank and above will be sealed. The sealing will be carried out by personnel sent by the Great Xia."

"Second, the Ice Demon Clan's territory has been reduced to one-quarter of Greenland; anything outside this area will be considered hostile."

"Third, a fixed amount of crystal cores and psionic materials will be provided to humanity each year. The specific amount will be discussed later."

"Fourth, all members of the Ice Demon Clan at the fifth rank and above must wear psionic locators."

"Fifth, any Ice Demon must declare their presence before entering human territory; anyone who enters without permission will be killed on the spot."

"Sixth, the Ice Demon Clan must send one thousand elite warriors of the fourth rank or above to join the Beast Legion established by the Great Xia, under the unified command of humans."

"Seventh, all historical records, psionic research, and genealogical archives of the Ice Demon Clan will be fully disclosed to the Great Xia Martial Arts Research Institute."

"Eighth, the above terms are valid indefinitely."

After hearing this, the Ice Demon Ape King knelt on the spot and remained silent for a long time.

Each of these conditions was utterly harsh, and then it raised its head.

"The Ice Demon Clan accepts all conditions."

Song Chen looked at it.

"Alright, from today onwards, the Ice Demons are a vassal race of the human faction. Remember, vassal, not ally."

"clear."

After the Ice Demon King accepted the conditions, changes occurred on the Greenland ice sheet that Song Chen had not anticipated.

The Ice Demon King did not rise; it remained kneeling on the ice plain, issuing a decree to the entire Arctic Circle using the spiritual power of the Ice Demon Clan's patriarch.

Song Chen didn't ask about the contents of the edict, but he could sense the range of the spiritual energy fluctuations, which stretched from Greenland all the way to the deepest part of the Arctic ice cap, covering the entire Arctic Circle.

Then, the figures of strange beasts began to appear on the horizon during the polar night.

The first to arrive were polar snow wolves.

They descended from the ice shelf at the northern tip of Greenland, thousands of snow wolves forming a loose line on the ice field, led by an old wolf king at the peak of the fifth rank.

Its left eye was blind, and its empty eye socket was covered with frost. But when it walked to a few hundred meters away from the Ice Demon Ape King, it stopped automatically, then bent down and pressed its forehead against the ice.

The second batch consisted of iceback bears.

These enormous polar beasts trek from deep within the ice sheet. Each adult iceback bear stands over 100 meters tall at the shoulder, and when they line up on the ice field, they resemble moving snow-capped mountains.

Their patriarch was an old bear at the peak of the fifth rank. When he approached the Ice Demon Ape King, he let out a low, long whimper and then knelt down.

Frostwing eagles descended from the sky, their wings covered in ice crystals, making a crisp sound as they folded their wings.

The Frostscale Python snaked its way out of the ice crevice, its scales gleaming a cold white under the aurora.

There are also many other polar creatures that humans have never seen or even named before, such as ice beetles, snow ridge beasts, aurora jellyfish, and ice spike monitors. They come from all corners of the Arctic Circle and converge on the Greenland ice sheet to form a silent torrent.

In less than an hour, the Greenland ice sheet was covered with strange beasts.

Stretching from the feet of the Ice Demon Ape King to the edge of the polar night horizon, hundreds of thousands of polar beasts are arrayed in neat squares according to their respective races, like an army being inspected.

Not a single beast made any extraneous noise. The wind of the polar night blew across the ice plains, and the only sounds were the rustling of frost against fur and the heavy breathing of the ice-spine bear.

The Ice Demon Ape King remained kneeling at the very front.

It raised its head and said to Song Chen, who was standing high on the ice sheet: "Great Xia councilor, they are all vassals of my race and former comrades of the human race. Please forgive their lives."

"Our tribe will strictly control them, and if they violate the agreement, our tribe is willing to take the punishment on their behalf."

Looking down at the ocean of strange beasts stretching to the horizon, Song Chen began to understand why the Ice Demon King had been kneeling.

This old guy is quite loyal.

Song Chen did not answer immediately. He looked at the low-level beasts kneeling on the ice field. The third-level snow wolf cubs were huddled under their mother wolf's belly, the fourth-level ice spine bears had their noses buried in the snow, and the fifth-level frost wing eagles had their wings folded and their heads lowered.

These strange beasts have killed humans and been killed by humans over the past fifty years.

But now they kneel here not out of loyalty, but out of fear.

He suddenly realized something: this was a war, and the war was already in its final stages.

But the only way to end things shouldn't be through killing.

He turned on his communicator and dialed Han Duo's number.

"Do two things for me."

"First, I want all countries to move all their satellites to orbit over Greenland and connect all their communication channels simultaneously so I can do a global live broadcast."

"Second, inform Speaker Li Qingcang that I have something to discuss with him."

Han Duo's voice carried obvious doubt, but he only replied with one word: "Yes."

It was 8 p.m. when I arrived in Beijing.

Every public screen in every base city around the world, every television in every household, and every military command screen simultaneously switched to the same image.

On the Greenland ice sheet, the green aurora borealis slowly flows across the sky during the polar night.

Hundreds of thousands of polar beasts knelt on the vast ice plain, stretching from the Ice Demon King's feet all the way to the horizon.

A real-time label that popped up in the lower left corner of the screen made everyone gasp.

"Live footage, Greenland, taken 30 seconds ago."

Everyone in the world saw this at the same time.
