Chapter 342 Rich Woman, Hungry, Hungry, Food! 5000
Luo Tian, seated on his throne, maintained his posture as a great god, merely nodding slightly without offering any further response.
The Elf Queen slowly straightened up, then, as if only then noticing the Empress on Luo Tian's other throne, greeted him again with impeccable manners:
"Empress of the Stars, greetings!"
It is worth noting that the Elf Queen's gesture of bowing to Luo Tian represents the etiquette of a subordinate paying homage to a superior, clearly indicating a distinction between primary and secondary roles.
However, when facing the Empress, he would bow in a manner of equal exchange.
The two greetings directly separated the primary and secondary relationship between Luo Tian and the Empress, making their intention quite clear.
What the Elf Queen meant was that she came to the Star World to pay homage to the great Father God, Luo Tian, and that the great Father God was also the one who won this war.
Even if the empress of the mere Great Yin Empire were to stand on the side of the victors, she would only gain the right to engage in equal dialogue.
The Empress's identity was not valued by the Speaker of the God King Council.
The Empress frowned slightly. She could vaguely sense a subtle hostility in the attitude of the Elf Queen, but she couldn't find anything wrong with it.
After all, the size of the Great Yin Empire and the Elf pantheon is not even in the same league. Even the defeated Elf Queen should have her own pride, so it is normal for her to show this attitude.
Luo Tian, seated on the Sun Throne, was completely oblivious to the subtle tension between the women. He simply leaned back lazily on the throne and said casually:
"Just say what's on your mind!"
The Elf Queen looked up at the noble figure on the throne before her.
Unlike the supreme and majestic god, who shone like the blazing sun, the handsome young man with black hair and black eyes on the throne wore simple everyday clothes. The clothes, woven with fine silk threads, might be considered quite nice in the eyes of mortals, but in the eyes of Amy, the Queen of the Elves, they appeared simple and old.
He simply leaned back lazily on the throne, resting his right hand on his cheek as he casually surveyed himself, his slightly narrowed eyes surrounded by faint dark circles, and his expression carrying a hint of drowsiness.
He was like a corporate slave who had been forced to attend a meeting by his boss after staying up all night, and could fall asleep at any moment.
If this were anywhere else, Amy would just think of him as any ordinary human being, and would never connect him with the great deity who could wipe out the entire God-King Alliance with a mere gesture.
In a daze, Amy even thought it was a prank by the great Father God, who had sent an ordinary man to the throne to take his place.
"wrong!"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he realized that Amy had dismissed it.
Although she was merely a powerful deity, in this matter she represented the entire world of gods, and the Great Father had no reason to play such a prank on her.
A moment of contemplation caused Amy to temporarily forget even the most basic etiquette, her emerald green eyes staring offensively at Luo Tian in front of her.
The handsome face that came into view and the black hair and black eyes that were so ordinary were actually quite ordinary. But in the next instant, the Elf Queen began to sense a fundamental difference.
His slightly narrowed dark eyes held a deep, dark aura, like a starry sky, and that seemingly eternally tranquil quality always accompanied the young man, calming all restlessness while guiding all things toward the end called death.
Even though countless intelligent beings resist the end called death, they still fall into the path of doom like moths to a flame.
Tranquil and secluded, it attracts all those who seek it out, like a deadly poppy.
Is it pretty?
A calm voice tinged with curiosity startled Amy awake. Suddenly freed from her strange state, the Elf Queen felt as if the back of her gauze dress was soaked with cold sweat.
Fear? Anxiety?
Even though possessing the body of a true god, one no longer needs such a low-level metabolic method as sweating, under the catalysis of that emotion, the body of a true god seems to have lost all its extraordinary and immortal qualities. The powerless shell expresses its awe of death in the most primitive way!
At this moment, Amy no longer had any doubts about her previous absurd guesses.
The seemingly ordinary young man before me is none other than the great Father God, renowned throughout the world.
Feeling the slightly curious gaze of the black-haired, black-eyed youth, Amy recalled her earlier question. After a moment's hesitation, she replied with certainty:
"nice!"
This was not a compliment, but a sincere reply from Amy.
Although Luo Tian's appearance could only be described as handsome, and could not be compared with the beauty of an elf, his aura, which attracted countless living beings to their deaths like moths to a flame, made him even more attractive to living beings than the concept of beauty.
Amy's reply brought a smile to Luo Tian's face.
Just now, Amy had been staring at Luo Tian's face, and that creepy look made Luo Tian feel uneasy, which is why he asked that question.
Luo Tian was naturally very happy to receive such sincere praise from Amy.
"I didn't expect the Elf Queen to have such good taste!"
"In that case, I will forgive her for that offensive gaze."
However, on another throne, the Empress's gaze grew increasingly dangerous.
Despite having no evidence, the Empress had a feeling that the elf in front of her was trying to steal the cabbage from her own garden!
Slightly pleased, Luo Tian didn't forget the important matter. After clearing his throat, he asked:
"What brings the Goddess of the Goddess here today?"
The Elf Queen suppressed some of her thoughts and replied respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I have come here on behalf of the world of gods to seek a truce from you."
Back then, the Radiant God-King knew that the Star God-Kings had offended His Majesty and that his sins were unforgivable. So he lobbied various parties and used words and benefits to deceive many God-Kings, forcibly forming a God-King Council in an attempt to oppose His Majesty.
After paying a heavy price, the remaining God-Kings of the God-King Council and the world of gods have recognized the harm caused by the Radiant God-King. We are willing to take responsibility for all the losses caused by the war and make compensation to His Majesty.
And this is the sincerity of the world of gods; we humbly request Your Majesty's permission!
A small golden booklet appeared in the hands of the Elf Queen and slowly floated towards Luo Tian.
Luo Tian reached out and took the golden compensation list. As soon as he slightly extended his senses, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind.
The list of compensations clearly records the various rare treasures carried on a total of 231 divine tree warships.
The resources that can elevate those below the True God realm are in the hundreds of millions. If used, they could push one-tenth of the population of the Great Yin Empire to the Saint realm.
High-energy armor and star-destroying behemoths are enough to form several legions, and even behemoths like stellar-class warships are dismantled and transported by the Divine Tree Warships.
The solid divine crystals piled up like mountains, and the golden divine power transformed into an ocean. There were incomplete divine kingdoms, masterless holy spirits, a hall of heroes that had been nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years, and idols of faith.
Corresponding to this are a total of 103 faith priests preserved through special means, 46 nature priests, 11 lower-level rule priests, and 4 higher-level rule priests.
Such a display of skill would make even Luo Tian's heart tremble.
He knew that the compensation resources brought by the Elf Queen were very valuable, but he did not expect them to be this valuable.
As the controller of the Dao Fruit of Death, Luo Tian knew very well how difficult creation was compared to destruction.
Don't be fooled by the fact that his Soul-Draining Strike can send dozens of God-Kings to their deaths. If Luo Tian were to train someone in his current state, he might not even be able to train a single person of mid-level divine power.
The flaws in the power system are one aspect, but another is that cultivating a true god truly requires a massive amount of resources and some rare treasures as support.
In the extraordinary system, ascending to the status of a true god requires an incomparably precious divine office.
In the cultivation system, although specific treasures such as divine positions are not required, advancing to the True Immortal realm requires a much more difficult tribulation, and the magical treasures and elixirs consumed in this process are far greater than those in the Transcendent system.
It's obvious that Luo Tian is a poor guy. The only thing he can offer is the still-developing divine status of the underworld. He can't afford to engage in high-level operations like cultivating true gods.
But after obtaining this list of compensation claims, things changed completely.
The resources listed are more than enough for Luo Tian to cultivate a vast pantheon from scratch, a pantheon far exceeding the size of the gods in the Star World.
The difficulty involved is dozens of times greater than destroying a pantheon.
Luo Tian, despite his poverty, suppressed the turmoil in his heart and then calmly handed the list to the Empress beside him.
Reaching out to take it, the Empress, who had previously harbored a hidden hostility towards the Elf Queen, lost her composure upon seeing the contents of the list, and a look of shock appeared in her beautiful wine-red eyes.
Luo Tian was indeed a poor but powerful god, but the empress who ruled the Dayin Empire wasn't exactly rich either.
Compared to the pantheon of gods ruled by these god-kings in the world of gods, the vast Dayin Empire seemed like a small, insignificant country bumpkin.
Even if you bought the entire Stellaris universe, you couldn't get these resources back.
While marveling at the extravagance of the world of gods, Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.
The list of compensations was extremely detailed, encompassing everything inside the Divine Tree warship, practically emptying out everything the Elf Queen had brought on her trip.
Normally, shouldn't a ceasefire agreement be negotiated between the two parties, followed by some bargaining and reaching a mutually beneficial deal?
Why did the Queen of the Elves immediately throw the compensation list at us? This is completely unpredictable!
"Could it be that the world of gods wants to show off its wealth and is planning to knock me out with money?"
That doesn't make sense! If the wealth of the world of gods were truly revealed, wouldn't we be even more worried that I would forcibly seize resources from it?
The more Luo Tian pondered the actions of the Elf Queen, the more confused he became.
In fact, even before the Elf Queen arrived in the Star World, Luo Tian had already decided on a strategy of temporarily developing peacefully and waiting for the right opportunity, so a temporary ceasefire was an inevitable result.
Even if the Elf Queen only symbolically ceded a few barren worlds, Luo Tian would have agreed without hesitation. However, the current situation was completely beyond his expectations.
After reviewing the contents of the list, the Empress, suppressing her emotions, handed the golden book back to Luo Tian.
Luo Tian then turned his gaze to the beautiful young woman in front of him, the Elf Queen.
These items were undoubtedly valuable enough, but Luo Tian felt that agreeing to them outright would make him seem insincere.
Although I don't really have much sincerity, I should at least show some respect in front of the enemy.
Moreover, Luo Tian felt that a peace agreement negotiation would be too dull without bargaining.
So Luo Tian, holding the list of compensation recipients, said calmly:
"not enough!"
Luo Tian had expected the Elf Queen to object, express her sincerity, and then engage in a heated exchange before reluctantly agreeing.
But who knew that as soon as Luo Tian's name was uttered, Aimis immediately spoke up without hesitation:
"I would be willing to add one more stellar-class warship and thirty planetary warships!"
Luo Tian was completely dumbfounded.
A star-class warship is the flagship of a major power in all realms, and theoretically, it is comparable to a powerful warship of a god-king.
Of course, in reality, a star-class warship is inferior to a god-king with a powerful divine power level in terms of both deterrence and combat strength, but its precious value is still beyond doubt.
One stellar-class warship plus thirty planetary warships would be enough for the Great Yin Empire to become a plunderer of all realms, wantonly looting and plundering smaller worlds.
However, Amy's manner of speaking suggested that she didn't take this fleet, which was capable of starting a war between gods, seriously at all.
"Even if the world of gods is rich, it wouldn't be built like this, would it?"
